Dato' Karpal Singh?

DAP chairman Karpal Singh has chided two party leaders,Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham and Datuk Teng Chang Khim, for accepting Datukships from state rulers, which is against the party's long-standing principle.

According to The Star, he said that according to the principle agreed upon by party members since the mid 1990s, DAP state assemblymen and Members of Parliament were not to accept Datukships during their tenure in office.


“From now on, the party will take action against members who don't follow this ruling,” he said, adding that the form of punishment would be decided by the party's disciplinary board after a hearing.

Ngeh, who is also Perak DAP chairman, was conferred the title in 2008 while Teng, who is the Selangor state assembly speaker, accepted a Datukship in 2010.

Xavier is Sleeping Again?

Sri Maha Mariamman Temple’s committee chairman R. Vellasamy today took the Pakatan-led Selangor government to task over its indifferent attitude towards settling the temple’s predicament.

The company owning the land on which the temple sits in Ladang Teluk Merbau here has issued a notice to the committee asking that the land be vacated.

Vellasamy claimed that the committee had written to the state executive councillor in charge, Dr Xavier Jayakumar, on the matter but to date had yet to get a response.

As a result, the committee sought the assistance of the then Deputy Minister in the Minister’s Department Senator T. Murugiah last year who helped negotiate a deferment on the eviction, he told a press conference after leading a protest demonstration in front of the temple here today.

He added that as things remained uncertain for the temple, they wanted the state government to assist in the matter.

Meanwhile, Tan Tuan Tat, the advisor to the committee, said they wanted the state government to alienate a piece of land adjacent to the temple to the committee to be exchanged with the company concerned so that the temple need not be demolished.

Why PKR MP's Hunts For Double Seat (DUN+Parlimen)? - Part 2

Manoharan, who supported the “one man – one seat” proposal, said dual seat holders should put public and party interests above their own interests by accepting Karpal’s formula.

He said double-hat wearers should not draw multiple perks while dishing out poor performance as elected representatives at the expense of other single seat representatives and taxpayers.

At a glance, double-seat holders earn nearly RM40,000 per month.

In Selangor, an assemblyman’s pay is about RM11,700, inclusive of allowances, while that of an executive councillor is about RM25,000 (inclusive of state assembly pay). A MP earns about RM15,000 a month.

Manoharan recalled that during the recent July parliamentary sitting, which coincided with the Selangor state assembly session, Kok was unable to perform her duties efficiently as a senior exco, state representative and parliamentarian.

“She was neither here nor there. She was missing most of the assembly sittings,” he claimed.

Manoharan said he was now fighting a court case against the demolishment of a Hindu temple – Seafield Maha Mariamman Kovil – which comes under Kok’s Kinrara constituency.

“The temple management told me that it had been difficult to get even an appointment to meet Kok and resolve the demolishment issue amicably,” he said.

He said Kok was not able to divide and devote her time for her constituents partly because she was a MP and an assemblywoman in two different territories.

Why PKR MP's Hunts For Double Seat (DUN+Parlimen)? - Part 1

Last Friday, Karpal called on the party’s nine double-hat wearers, who are both a parliamentarian and an assemblyman, to declare publicly that they would opt for only one seat in the next general election.

In other words, Karpal wanted them to show support to the proposed “one man – one seat” electoral formula.

Karpal, who first proposed the formula early last year, argued that the party now had enough capable and dynamic young grassroots leaders as candidates, unlike in previous elections.

But Kok, a double-seat holder herself, chided Karpal for highlighting “an old story” in the media.

The other DAP elected representatives who are both MPs and assemblymen are Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (Bagan MP and Air Putih assemblyman), Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy (Batu Kawan MP and Prai assemblyman) and the state senior exco and party chief Chow Kon Yeow (Tanjung MP and Padang Kota assemblyman), all in Penang; Beruas MP and Sitiawan assemblyman Ngeh Koo Ham, Taiping MP and Pantai Remis assemblyman Nga Kor Ming, both Perak; and Rasah MP and Lobak assemblyman Anthony Loke Siew Fook (Negeri Sembilan).

In Sarawak, state DAP chairman Wong Ho Leng is the Sibu MP and Bukit Assek assemblyman while state party secretary Chong Chieng Jen is the Bandar Kuching MP and Kota Sentosa assemblyman.

8 out of 11 Hudud Countries Are Regarded As The Most Corrupted!!!

Sixteen years later, in the 2011 TI CPI, Malaysia crashed to 60th placing with the lowest-ever score of 4.3 – losing out to six OIC countries and only one step ahead of Turkey, as illustrated as follows:

Qatar – No.22 (rank) 7.2 (score)

UAE – No.28 (6.8)

Bahrain- No.46 (5.1)

Oman – No.50 (4.8)

Kuwait – No.54 (4.6)

The Dynasty Of PKR?

Dynasty in PKR? What the Hell is it? Have a look....No Offence...

Pakatan's Budget will cause RM200 Billion Loss?

The outrageous claim by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that living standards are somehow falling was disproven on Tuesday, with figures showing that the average household income in Malaysia has increased by 7.2 per cent every year for the last four decades.

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department SK Devamany confirmed that Malaysian households’ buying power has risen by fifteen times between 1970 to 2009.

“From 1970 to 2009, the average household income has increased … from RM264 a month in 1970 to RM4,025 a month in 2009.

“The average increase is higher than the average inflation rate of 3.4 per cent a year and this reflects the rising buying power of Malaysian households amidst a controlled price level,” Devamany told Parliament.

This shows up Anwar’s earlier claim as a blatant political stunt. The de facto Opposition leader had told Parliament on Monday that not enough was being done by the Barisan Nasional Government to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor in Malaysia, and that household wages remained low.

This, despite the Government implementing a minimum wage policy that will benefit millions of hard-working Malaysians – in spite of Pakatan, which had at the time attacked the national minimum wage as damaging to businesses.

Now, Pakatan has done a complete U-turn and is chanting the “growth” mantra in a desperate attempt to counter Budget 2013. The Opposition’s shadow Budget even proposes a RM1,100 minimum wage for both the public and private sectors, the very idea of which they were criticising barely a few months ago.

The Opposition has always complained against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s cash handouts to underprivileged families in previous budgets as wasteful.

Yet lo and behold, Pakatan now proposes to increase welfare payment from RM300 to RM550 a month.

In fact, Anwar promises to raise the disposable income of Malaysians. How exactly? He claimed that disposable incomes would rise through measures such as cheaper car prices, the abolishment of tolls, and the waiver of student loans.

None of these are new – Pakatan had already announced these populist proposals in the past. But they have been criticised by economists and politicians alike, as Pakatan’s proposals would leave the country poorer by RM200 billion. Yes, RM200 billion.

Shivaji The Boss VS Anwar Di Bas!

Recently Anwar Ibrahim was on tour "Jelajah Merdeka" which was a strategic campaign by PKR to fish votes for next general election. He went to alot of states delivering his speeches, presentation while watching the film "Shivaji The Boss" during his travelling moments. Yes! Shivaji The Boss...

"Shivaji The Boss inspired me to become - Anwar Di Bas!" - DS Anwar

Yes! Anwar Di Bas...What's actually rises the big question mark in my mind was the Funding. I'm not talking about NFC funding scandals but I'm talking about the source of funding he received for this "Jelajah Merdeka". From Whom and Where he got it from? George Soros? Israel? Selangor Goverment?..All those still remains as a big question mark.

Yet, I'm personally requesting our beloved Rafizi Ramli to investigate upon this issue. Because as man whom always claims going for anti-corruption, cleaner elections and also the next-prime-minister-wannabe, he (Anwar) should be audited thoroughly.

This is because there no point if a person whom fighting for cause of 'Cleaner Nation' having alot of things swept under his own carpet. Because there would be no different between the accused and the accuser then.

This makes me think why he had been labeled as "Anwar Lidah Bercabang" (Anwar with Split Tounge)...

1Malaysia People Housing programme (PR1MA)

Affordable housing will be available to all middle-income earners, even those who have a total household income of RM7,500 per month under the 1Malaysia People Housing programme (PR1MA).

The houses will be sold without any ethnic quota but will be available at special discounted rates through a transparent balloting method.

“Even those who are not married would be entitled to apply,” said PR1MA chief executive officer Abdul Mutalib Alias. “The houses will range from studio apartments to landed properties depending on location.”

Stressing that these units were not low-cost houses, Abdul Mutalib said PR1MA is about solving housing needs as well as addressing lifestyle wants of the middle-income group.

“Originally, when PR1MA was announced, the scheme was only open to a narrow joint-salary band of RM3,000 to RM6,000. There is a problem of a sandwich group’.

“We have been able to persuade Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to widen the band to cover more distressed middle-class who are not poor but still cannot afford to buy houses in major cities, especially in the Klang Valley,” he added.

He said PR1MA had studied 20 schemes including the HDB in Singapore before coming up with the programme.

There will be a moratorium of 10 years before the buyers can sell their homes.

“There are circumstances where we might allow an earlier sale and we have a formula about the pricing that will take into account interest and inflation rates,” Abdul Mutalib said, adding that more details would be announced next week.

He also said that Najib would launch PR1MA’s 1st housing scheme in Seremban on Saturday.

“The prices will be below market price, and will be the same for everyone, without quotas or discounts of any kind,” Abdul Mutalib said. “There will be a mix of landed and medium-rise properties.”

Abdul Mutalib said the project would be a three-phase programme, with the first comprising about 1,200 houses due in 2015.

He added that PR1MA had decided to carry out the project in Seremban because there was demand for it.

This will be PR1MA’s first project since the gazetting of the PR1MA Act in January.

Other PR1MA targets include:
An online registration system for housebuyers and to assess the demand in town areas; and
Talks with developers to have the backlanes of houses converted into green community areas.

Anwar Ibrahim & RM1 Million Vehicles?

Wow! They started with a bus. Now, they bought a trailer for their nationwide political campaign.

Impressive! That’s PKR. Although party president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail did not disclose the financial source for that two vehicles which cost about RM1 million – except attributing it to some donors and volunteers – many believe PKR is just another Suaram which receives tonnes of money from abroad.

PKR needs money to help Wan Azizah’s hubby Anwar Ibrahim realise his dream of becoming the next prime minister. As his money abroad couldn’t find its way back to Malaysia, PKR via Pakatan Rakyat has to use organisations like Suaram and Bersih to amass foreign funding.

Bersih, in demanding ‘clean elections’ in the country has attracted more than enough foreign support – politically, morally and financially – from various institutions, including that from the Wall Street and Dow Jones.

Their tactics and demands mirror similar movements that have come out into the streets in Russia and across the Middle East, and just like in Russia and across the Middle East, they are entirely funded, directed by, and working for the interests of Wall Street and London.

Bersih’s rank and file are responding to legitimate concerns regarding inequities that exist across Malaysia’s diverse population.

Ethnic Malaysians are perceived to be receiving more benefits and upward social mobility than Malaysia’s large groups of ethnic minorities. Likewise it is perceived that Malaysia’s ruling government has an unfair advantage come election time.

However, the movement’s demands and tactics seek simply to destabilize Malaysia politically and return known Western collaborators, and in particular Wall Street proxy and International Monetary Fund (IMF) functionary Anwar Ibrahim, back into power.” – http://www.anwaraidc.com/?p=23840

It’s a simple task for PKR to raise any amount of money needed to finance Anwar’s campaign.

Some articles, locally and abroad had produced strong testimony and tangible evidence about such funding, given by George Soros-linked organisations in the West, notably Europe and the United States.

And Anwar himself had never tried to ‘really deny’ all accusations.

So, what is RM1 million to PKR when it has the capability of raising a few million for that dirty Bersih rally? His good buddy Ambiga too has no worries over a plan to stage another street demonstration, most probably early next month after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak tables the 2013 Budget at the Parliament on September 28.

Actually, reporters shouldn’t have asked Wan Azizah to reveal the source of funding but instead ask when will PKR buy trains and aeroplanes as their campaign vehicles. Or a supertanker-sized cruise to ferry them to Sabah and Sarawak!

O-oh. Now we can understand why Pakatan Rakyat announced cheaper cars if Anwar becomes a prime minister.

They will subsidise Proton cars with foreign funds!

Selangorku : Merdeka Celebration & RM200 Story!

The whole world knows how Khalid Ibrahim and his state Cabinet sidelined the Sultan during the Merdeka Day celebration, and how they tried to find scapegoats when it started to backfire and draw flaks.

First, they said Anwar Ibrahim – the Pakatan Rakyat’s godfather who holds no official portfolio in the state government – was the guest of honour but later changed it to just a guest speaker. Which one, only Khalid, Anwar know!

Well. That was not all.

Days before Merdeka Day, they issued out circulars to all civil servants in Selangor, asking them to find time and attend the Merdeka Eve celebration in front of the SUK Building, Shah Alam.

However, the response was very poor as most of the civil servants who support Barisan Nasional were not interested at all to join the Pakatan-style celebration, anticipating it would be a platform for Anwar and his Pakatan Rakyat to hammer the Federal Government.

Khalid was taken aback. Not having enough attendees would reflect his loose grip on Selangor, especially on the civil servants.

However, his mind did work well.

And so, he directed his officers to issue another circular, this time offering an extra RM200 bonus to any civil servant who submits his or her name agreeing to join the Merdeka Eve celebration.

Pathetically, not many turned up on that evening. Only about 200 members of the public service who sympathised Pakatan Rakyat joined it, together with 1,000 opposition members and leaders.

Knowing how his government’s popularity is taking a steep dive, taxpayers’ money is being robbed to buy votes, sympathy and support. While the state purse is shrinking over unnecessary expenditures, the Mentri Besar is left to no choice but to grab all the slim opportunities left to stay in power.

Khalid actually has no worries over funds. His DAP Exco members know how to look out for big money to support his politics.

Loan sharks, online game operators and ‘tauke ayam’ are finding Selangor the best place to ‘cari makan’.

Just go make at least a 3-day round from Kinrara, Puchong, Shah Alam, Klang, Banting, Beranang, Petaling Jaya, Kajang and other places, they are everywhere.

Ask the operators who are their ‘bosses’ and they will name a few. I bet readers know who they are.

No wonder Selangor can buy support and pay its cybertroopers a few hundred thousand ringgit a month.

Money is no problem but I think Khalid and his people should save the money for good lawyers.

If BN manages to take over Selangor in the next general election, Khalid and friends will find no time to relax as they will be too busy attending court cases!

PKR: We against Gangsterism!

A brawl has erupted between the two groups at about 12 noon in front of the headquarters of the Keadilan Rakyat Party (PKR).

GE-13 on November 2012!

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has strengthened speculation that the next general election will be held in November.

With the Prime Minister scheduled to unveil the National Education Blueprint on Sept 11 and Budget 2013 on Sept 28, talk in political circles is that the general election will likely be held in the second last month of the year.

The Barisan Nasional chairman’s “one-on-one” meetings with component party heads on Aug 28 to discuss their candidates’ list have also given credence to talk that the polls will be held then.

In his strongest hint yet, the Umno president brought his favourite number 11 into prominence during the joint opening of the party’s Kinabatangan, Sandakan, Batu Sapi, Beluran and Libaran delegates meeting here.

He said the double digits were “significant” this year because 2012 is the 66th year of Umno, with Malaysia marking the 55th year of Merdeka and Sabah Umno notching 22 years.

“All these numbers could be multiplied by 11,” he said. “Six times 11 equals 66, five times 11 equals 55 and 2 times 11 equals 22. The factor of 11 appears in all. It is unique and good.”

Earlier in his speech, Najib urged members of the state Umno and Barisan Nasional to defend Sabah as a “fixed deposit” of the coalition.

He said Umno’s strength in Sabah was good and believed the party would get “a resounding support” of the people in the state.

Najib urged Umno members to work for the party and not look at ethnicity of candidates as this would divide and weaken the party.

“We don’t need selfish members who only want to fill their pockets and protect their positions. Such people can leave.

“Najib is not strong, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman is not strong. Our strength is in Umno and Barisan Nasional,” he pointed out.

The Prime Minister asked Sabah voters to give Barisan another five years’ mandate so that the coalition could carry out its projects in the state under the Government Transformation Programme.

He said ties between the Federal Government and Sabah were good, adding that the state benefited much under Barisan. – The Star

Anwar Ibrahim : The Clown, The Joker & The Bullshits!

It was like music to our ears when Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that he would be retiring if Pakatan Rakyat fails to make it to Putrajaya in the general election. Our only regret is that he is not retiring immediately. We are not denying his right to contest or to dream of becoming PM. That is his right in a democracy.

What we cannot stomach is the way he has turned the country upside down in the quest to fulfill his impossible dream. Since the day he was sacked in 1998, he has made a circus of the political process from street riots to accusing people of murder. To accuse Rosmah, for example, of being at the scene of that Mongolian woman’s murder was too much. Come on lah, she would rather be shopping at the Pavilion.

Then when people accused him of poking his handsome assistant and bonking the China Doll, what did he say? Not my DNA, not my tummy, not my nose, not my everything.

But knowing Anwar, what you see is not what you get. We have our suspicions about his so called retirement plans. Anwar realises that his credibility and appeal has diminished. It is not like what it was when he walked out of jail in 2005.

His supporters then made a hue and cry about the toy boy Saiful Bukhary case and also the sex video. Gutter politics they cried in Facebook, Twitter and at every ceramah. But deep in their heart, they have doubts.

People can see by now that this man is only good at talking and accusing. He has no idea about the economy. If he knows economics, do you think Selangor of which he is the Economic Advisor would be in bad state of affairs?

Water shortage, bailing out developers, Talam, Unisel bankrupt, illegal sand mining and corruption creeping into the system. Luckily they paid Anwar only RM1 a month. But they wasted RM15,000 a month on Rafizi Ramli who was not interested in sorting out Selangor’s economy. He was more interested in running after cows and Shahrizat.

Anwar can read the writing on the wall. The voters are abandoning him and his party. Better to talk about retirement now so that he will not lose too much face when he loses. Putrajaya will be the impossible dream.

Another possible reason is that Anwar may be playing the pity-me/sympathy card. By saying he wants to retire, voters may suddenly feel kesian for him and tell themselves, never mind la, give him one last chance.

Very pathetic, if you ask us. This man who once asked people to vote for him because he can be a better PM than Tun Mahathir is now asking people to pity him and give him sympathy vote.

The only PM he can be better than is Pak Lah. We are appealing to voters not be fooled by this con man again. Remember how he claimed he was being poisoned by arsenic, then by HIV. But he is still alive.

We should vote him into retirement by giving our vote to Najib Razak.

Dear, dear Datuk Seri Anwar, don’t be sad or depressed. Retiring from politics is not the end of the world.

Nik Aziz Slams 'Janji Bersih'

PAS spiritual leader and Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has described the action of a few people who stepped on the pictures of the nation’s leaders on the eve of Merdeka Day celebration in Kuala Lumpur as a very shameful and saddening act.

He said the act did not reflect the culture of Malays and Muslims.

“This is not the work of Malays and Muslims. They are neither Malays nor Muslims.

“This is very shameful and saddening, the photograph that I saw was not of a Malay [the perpetrators of the act]. We Muslims are taught not to disturb others. If others do it to us, we will get angry,” he told reporters when attending an Aidilfitri gathering organised by the Sinar Harian newspaper in Pengkalan Chepa, here, today.

He was commenting on the rude actions of a number of participants of the “Janji Bersih” assembly held Dataran Merdeka in the federal capital on the eve of Merdeka Day (Aug 30).

They had stepped on the pictures of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor at the protest gathering.

Nik Aziz also did not agree with the action of the participants of changing the Malaysian flag with a new flag which was red and white, colours akin to the Singaporean flag.

Expressing his sadness and regret over this action, he said it was not a simple matter to change the flag of a country as it would involve various procedures.

“It not easy to replace [the national flag]… have to discuss for years. What is our intention of changing the flag.. our flag has already been accepted by the world, there is no need to smear our flag,” he said.

DAP vs BERSIH....

Unsatisfied with the fact that BERSIH 3.0 failed, Pakatan Rakyat once again wants to form another rally on the eve of Merdeka.

This next rally is known as ‘Janji Demokrasi’ is said to be organized by 47 NGOs who described themselves as the Janji Coalition. However, rakyat is well aware that the main organization behind them is Pakatan Rakyat.

Their main goal is none other than trying to create chaos and to stop rakyat from celebrating the Independence. Besides that, it is also held to the Independence theme which scares PR, ’55 Tahun Janji DiTepati’.

It seems that the organizing committee is no longer led by Ambiga, who admitted defeat as she suffers trouble of even getting in or out from her own house as business owners rallied in front of her gate due to their loss during BERSIH 3.0.

But, this time, the rally will be led by Marina Chin Abdullah and Hishamudin Rais. As expected, both of them also promised that the rally would go peacefully.

But, rakyat is not stupid. They can never forget the same promised made during BERSIH 3.0 but what really happened were chaos, destruction and injuries.

They are saying that Janji Demokrasi is just like any other Independence day celebration, but the only difference is that they would be in yellow to show their support to push the government to promise towards a democratic governance with the principals of the Constitution, law and supporting the rights to free speech, abolishing bad Acts and freedom of media and fair election.

The question here is, why should we believe people like Hishamudin Rais and Marina Chin who are the tools for PR when PR is always known as a coalition that never fulfil their promises? If not, why are they scared of this year’s Independence Day theme?

Marina Chin was previously involved in BERSIH 2.0 where all of the participants did not listen to orders given by the police to leave. She is also the person who fights for LGBT rights. Hishamudin Rais in the other hand is known as a rebel. There is no point talking about him.

Even if we can trust Marina that everything would go peacefully, we would want to know what kind of democracy she is fighting for? Becoming a tool for PR, she does not have the rights so talk about democracy.

Parties within PR have their own chronic issues regarding democracy and free speech. PKR’s election for example is filled with lies, manipulation, fights and even clear cronyism.

DAP in the other hand is led by the Secretary General who is rude, arrogant, iron fist, chauvinist and racist. And just like PKR, the cronyism, in DAP is too obvious to be denied by anyone.

Because of the fact that there are no democracy in PKR and DAP, we can see that each year one by one of its leaders often choose to go INDEPENDENT and BN friendly.

PAS is no different as they are gutsy enough to put religion in front of politic.

All these three parties are also famous for boycotting the media whenever they are criticized or whenever they fell in their own trap.

Are these the parties which Marina wants to fight for?

If PR is wise, they should realize that as the election comes closer, they should focus more on fulfilling their promises at the states which they are ruling instead of rallying and making new promises.

They should have learnt from their mistakes back in BERSIH 3.0 where everyone began to get annoyed and wonder when would be the end for PR.

We believe that after Janji Demokrasi, Marina’s image will be tarnished just like Ambiga as she simply ruined Merdeka.

Theresa Kok, Kurma Box & Price of Malays Vote?

She (Theresa) calls and named her self as the 'Sassy MP' in her blogs. I was wondering the reason behind the term used by her. Since, the dictionary states 'Sassy' as 'Disrespectful', I was continued to think what she is really trying to tell the rakyats by the usage of such term regards to herself.


The answer for my questions came out one day when i saw her post in her blog:

"Yesterday, the DAP Seputeh constituency members and I have visited the Ramadhan Bazaar at Sri Petaling (in front of SMK Sri Petaling 2).

This time we have prepared some dates or “buah kurma” in small container to be distributed out to the Malays friends as well as other shoppers at the Ramadhan Bazaar as a way to channel our care and blessing to them.

I hereby wish them once again have a meaningful ramadhan during this fasting period."

A Box of Kurma for you Mak Cik, as Exchange for your Vote in upcoming elections..? 

I was thinking WHY?

Why she only started to recall or remember the existence of Malays only during the Raya Celebrations?

What changes she brought so far for the Malays?

How far the Malays benefited from her doings in her constituency?

What are the economical, social and religious changes she brought for them?
And last but not least....

Is the box of Kurma's is just a effort to temproraly 'cools down' the thoughts of the Malays and rakyats?

OR

Its a new Marketing Strategy of her for next GE-13's VOTE BUYING?

PAS & PKR is DAP's TOYS???

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, along with other party comrades, have never failed to drum up hatred against Gerakan, MCA and the MIC, by constantly telling non-Malays that the parties had sold them out by being subservient to Umno.

Lim in particular has mastered the art of whipping up such racist sentiments amongst the Chinese by harping on issues which had angered the electorate in the run up to the 2008 general election campaign in Penang.

However, in just four years of ruling Penang, the DAP has shown its true colours and is fast turning into the exact monster it has all this while accused Umno of being.

While the track record of an equal partnership between Gerakan, MCA, MIC and Umno in the Barisan Nasional (BN) is there for all to see, the alliance between DAP, PKR and Pas is fast turning out to be nothing but a big joke.

The Chinese dominated party has emerged as the `big brother` in Pakatan while PKR and Pas leaders are fast realising how they are being bullied by the DAP.

Recent developments concerning core issues like the implementation of hudud if Pakatan gains federal power is but one example of how the DAP has tried to portray itself as the dominant party in the alliance.

In other words PKR and Pas have become to the DAP what Gerakan and MCA have been accused of being to Umno.

Just recently two state PKR leaders lent their voices to a growing chorus of people condemning Lim’s administration for bulldozing massive development projects with little or no consultation with local communities.

Penang PKR vice-chairman Datuk Abdul Halim Hussein and Balik Pulau MP Yusmadi Yusof hit out at the DAP-led state government for unanimously converting whatever was left of agriculture land into upmarket housing projects.

While Yusmadi has been complaining of being left in the dark about what was going on in his constituency since 2009, Abdul Halim – who is also the state legislative assembly speaker, has only now woken up to what is going on.

However, the real evidence of the actual discord going on between the DAP and PKR has only now emerged following leaked minutes of a Penang PKR strategic meeting which was held just before Hari Raya Aidil Fitri on Sunday.

The minutes, clearly show what PKR leaders like Penang deputy chief minister I Datuk Dr Mansor Othman actually think of Lim and the DAP itself.

In excerpts of the minutes, Mansor is recorded as calling his boss as not only a cocky and arrogant leader but also a person who has successfuly endeared himself as a “Tokong” (God) to the Chinese.

“He (Guan Eng) is very arrogant, I tell you…cocky and arrogant. It is not easy. Now more arrogant.”

“They ( the DAP) are sure of winning 19 (seats) and they want more. Because with two more (seats) they can form their own government and they can take from us (PKR reps) to be on their side and (then) abandon us (PKR),” he warned.

The latest revelation of Mansor’s thoughts about Lim is sure to ignite his boss’ fury and it remains to be seen how the Pakatan’s supreme leader Anwar Ibrahim reacts to the storm that is set to follow.

Over on Pas’ side, the so-called Islamic party’s leaders have also been accused of swaying from their original struggles just to appease the DAP.

A group of grassroot members from various Pas divisions in Penang recently gathered to voice their frustrations of how their party had become so engrossed in its relationship with the DAP that it was willing to sideline its principles.

Mansor’s opening remarks at the PKR meeting perhaps sum it up best when he said that “DAP adalah dictator dalam pentadbiran negeri Pulau Pinang.”

It is time PKR and Pas leaders explained just who is being subservient to whom now.

The 'ARROGANT' Lim Guan Eng..

State PKR chief Mansor Othman is upset that minutes of the party's Penang strategic meeting on preparations for the 13th general election, where he described Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng as arrogant, have been leaked.

Mansor, who is deputy chief minister I, said he was aware of the leak and expressed his disappointment that it has been published verbatim in an obscure blog.

However, Mansor, who is Penanti assemblyperson, said the contents - detailing questions raised on the coming polls and his responses to them - were "genuine concerns".

"Give me a few days, I am investigating the matter. The contents of the posting on the blog are based on genuine concerns but what I cannot accept is the leakage," he told Malaysiakini during the recent Hari Raya open house in Guar Perahu.

Palanivel: NO WOMEN Candidate on GE-13!

MIC president G Palanivel is expected to meet Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional chief Najib Tun Razak next Tuesday to finalise the party’s candidates list for the coming general election.

Apart from some minor changes to the list, the most shocking was that the largest Indian-based party in the country would not field any women candidates.

Sources revealed that although Palanivel had submitted a list of potential candidates, the meeting on Aug 28 would “finalise everything including two seat swaps”.

The source said that Palanivel had a meeting with the party’s women’s wing towards the end of July.

“And the outcome of the meeting shocked the wing as the president decided not to field any women candidates for the general election,” he added.

The source also claimed that Palanivel was peeved when only six representatives from the women’s wing turned up for the meeting.

In the last general election, MIC fielded four women, one for a parliamentary seat and the rest for state assembly seats.

Of the four, only T Murukasvary managed to retain the Tenggaroh state seat in Johor defeating PAS member Shahar Abdullah with a large majority of 8,233 votes.

Wanita MIC chief Komala Krishnamoorthy was defeated in the Kapar parliamentary seat by PKR’s S Manikavasagam.

However, the source claimed that the MIC leadership would also drop Murukasvary for the coming polls.

“Palanivel has decided to close the door to women candidates since the next general election will be toughest in the history of MIC,” he told FMT.

He said the president only wanted winnable candidates and the latter felt that those from the women’s wing would not make the cut.

The source also pointed out that the women’s wing had not performed up to expectations since the 2008 general election.

“Just look at the Wanita office in the party headquarters… it has remained locked for the last four to five months,” he added.

The source also said speculation was rife that Wanita MIC might boycott the polls as a result of the president’s decision.

“But I believe it will not happen since the women’s wing depends on the party’s top leadership for funds,” he added.

DAP Tolak Konsep Negara ISLAM?

Pemimpin dan anggota parti Pas perlu menerima hakikat sekutu mereka dalam pakatan pembangkang iaitu DAP tidak pernah mengiktiraf Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara Islam.

Ketua Penerangan UMNO, Datuk Ahmad Maslan berkata DAP juga tidak akan sesekali membenarkan Pas melaksanakan undang-undang hudud jika pakatan berjaya mengambil alih pentadbiran negara.

Pemimpin DAP Karpal Singh dan Lim Kit Siang sepanjang berhujah di Parlimen menegaskan Malaysia negara sekular kerana rakyatnya pelbagai kaum, walaupun ketika itu bekas Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad memberitahu sidang Parlimen, Malaysia negara Islam, kata Ahmad.

Beliau ditemui selepas menyampaikan wang ‘durian runtuh’ fasa kedua kepada 935 isteri peneroka Felda Lakum dan Bukit Damar, di sini.

Mengulas lanjut, Ahmad yang juga Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri berkata isu hudud dan negara Islam akan terus menjadi punca pertelagahan dalam pakatan pembangkang.

“Pemimpin Pas perlu mempertahankan usaha mereka untuk melaksanakan hukum hudud supaya mereka tidak hilang sokongan penyokong tegar, begitu juga sebaliknya bagi DAP yang menolak hukum hudud itu,” katanya.

Ambiga is to leave BERSIH!

Bersih co-chaiperson S Ambiga said that she would step down from the electoral reforms movement after the next general election.

In an interview with Bloomberg today, Ambiga said that she intended to pay more attention to her firm which specialises in commercial, intellectual property and industrial law.

Ambiga, a former Bar Council president, shot to fame after leading two Bersih rallies in 2010 and in April this year, calling for reforms to the Malaysian electoral system.

Although she received support from Pakatan Rakyat and other NGOs, the government had poured scorn over her attempts, claiming that she was a “pawn” of the opposition.

Sri Gading MP Mohamad Aziz even called for her hanging during a parliamentary session, but withdrew his remarks after receiving brickbats from his own colleagues in the ruling coalition.

In the interview, Ambiga said that she has some unfinished business from her previous campaign on women’s rights, which was not well received by the government.

“The courts had abdicated their responsibility over a lot of family law issues in situations involving both the syariah and civil courts,” she said.

Ambiga was referring to cases where husbands converted to Islam and unilaterally converted their children too, creating a lot of confusion in families and leaving their wives in the doldrums.

“In 2008, the government had proposed legislation requiring individuals wishing to convert to first inform family members and address custody issues, but the process was stalled at the Council of Rulers, who are responsible for Islamic affairs,” said Ambiga.

On growing calls for reforms, she said that the government could ill-afford to ignore the masses and one way to live by the people’s aspiration is by making the electoral system free and fair.

“If enough people want change, there’s very little anyone can do to stop it,” she said. “Malaysians are generally peace-loving – we are nowhere near what was happening in the Middle East, Tunisia and Egypt.

“But we are at the right point in time for positive change, and if we are going to bring change, we only want to do it by clean and fair elections,” said Ambiga.

400 Houses for 400 Families in Carey Islands.

MIC President Datuk Seri G. Palanivel said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had informed him that Sime Darby has agreed to set aside 40 acres (16.18 hectare) on Pulau Carey, Selangor to build 400 houses for residents there, most of whom are Indians.

In a statement here today, Palanivel, who is Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, said Najib had told him the houses would be sold at cost price while the housing area would also comprise a tadika, a temple and complete with other infrastructure.

“This was to resolve the long standing problem of the people there,” he said.

Palanivel said the Prime Minister had requested him to coordinate with the Chief Executive Officer of Sime Darby Datuk Bakke Salleh to work that out.

“But Sime Darby brought out another proposal that is to build houses at a different locality in Kampong Sedu near Banting. The locality has good infrastructure and connectivity.

“But the Carey islanders only wanted to stay on Carey Island because they had stayed there for most of their life,” said Palanivel.

Palanivel said they would stick to the original decision of the Prime Minister to build houses on Carey Island for the 400 families at cost price.

Harga Rokok: RM7.00 mulai 1 September 2012!

Kerajaan menetapkan harga minimum bagi semua jenama rokok ialah RM7 mulai 1 Sept dan hanya membenarkan syarikat rokok mengeluarkan 20 batang rokok dalam satu paket.

Menteri Kesihatan Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai berkata serentak itu, kerajaan turut memansuhkan semua jenis diskaun yang ditawarkan oleh syarikat rokok.

Beliau berkata kerajaan juga hanya membenarkan syarikat rokok mengeluarkan 10 paket dalam satu karton.

“Mulai 1 Sept 2012, semua diskaun jualan rokok akan dimansuhkan… semua jenama rokok tidak boleh mengadakan diskaun. Pelarasan diskaun harga jualan runcit rokok dimansuhkan. Hanya satu harga minimum iaitu RM7 untuk paket 20 batang.

“Pengilang-pengilang membungkus rokok perlu memastikan dalam paket hanya 20 batang dan satu karton mengandungi 10 paket sahaja,” katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas memperkenalkan ‘Duta ASAP Smoke Free Lifestyle’, di sini hari ini.

Liow berkata dengan penguatkuasaan peraturan itu kesemua rokok yang dijual dalam negara hendaklah dijual dengan harga tidak kurang daripada harga minimum yang ditetapkan itu.

Tahun lepas harga minimum rokok ditetapkan RM7 bagi 20 batang apabila Kementerian Kesihatan menguatkuasakan Peraturan Harga Minimum Rokok dan Larangan Promosi Harga menerusi Peraturan-Peraturan Kawalan Hasil Tembakau.

Bagaimanapun kerajaan ketika itu tidak menetapkan saiz paket dan terdapat 21 batang rokok (RM7.23), 22 batang rokok (RM7.70), 23 batang rokok (RM8.05).

Liow berkata walaupun sebelum ini penjualan rokok pada harga yang lebih rendah dilarang, syarikat rokok dibenar membuat pelarasan harga sebanyak tiga kali setahun dengan perbezaan harga tidak boleh melebihi lima peratus.

Beliau berkata kerajaan menguatkuasa peraturan baru itu untuk mengurangkan kebolehcapaian dan kemampuan membeli rokok terutama oleh kanak-kanak, remaja dan golongan berpendapatan rendah selain membendung aktiviti promosi rokok melalui pemberian diskaun yang berlebihan.

Dengan penguatkuasaan peraturan baru ini, kompaun antara RM500 dan RM5,000 dikenakan bagi kesalahan menjual rokok di bawah harga minimum manakala bagi kesalahan menjual rokok tidak sah, peniaga yang didapati bersalah boleh didenda tidak lebih RM10,000 atau penjara tidak lebih dua tahun.

Nurul Izzah: We will use our Scholar Troops!

PKR leaders will start calling on university campuses next month in a bid to recruit more students into the opposition, setting the stage for a stiff contest with Barisan Nasional (BN) for the youth vote in the coming polls.

The party is making full use of the government’s recent decision to lift the ban on student participation in politics through amendments in the University and University Colleges Act 1971.

“PKR will be visiting universities in September to initiate talks pertaining to their rights to do practise politics,” PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar said during the launch of Kelab Mahasiswa Keadilan at the party’s headquarters here.

“Our target is to go to all universities, starting with those in the Klang Valley such as Universiti Malaya (UM).”

She added that this was in response to Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah’s recent statement that the UUCA amendments would render the Act more meaningful in terms of permitting student involvement in politics.

“I am holding on to his (Saifuddin)’s promise that students (aged) 21 years and older are now allowed to be involved in politics after Section 15 of the Act was amended.

“PKR will enter universities. It is the best time to approach students to give them a chance to voice out their opinions,” she said.

Nurul Izzah added that PKR will fight BN if it continues to use students as a tool to win elections, alleging that BN has often meddled in campus polls.

“BN’s interference in campus elections… is a political trick to ensure that students remain fearful of BN.

“[Datuk Seri Najib Razak] is more blatant for using students for his own political agenda,” she added.

The Lembah Pantai MP said that PR previously had received many objections about its attempt to engage students.

“Before this, only BN could enter the campuses,” she said.

“PKR represents the youth. If we fail to be relevant on youth-related issues, there is no reason for us to remain,” she added.

Unisel : Student Demonstration Soon...!

A group of Unisel students -  Aksi Mahasiswa Peduli (AKSI) wants Jana Niaga Sdn Bhd (JNSB) who manages the hostel Unisel to prioritize the welfare of students.

JNSB failure to safeguard the welfare of students is likely to result in the student demonstrations.

"If the JNSB totally ignored and not sympathize with us as students, we will not hesitate to use other channels to gather as many other students in the sense of a demonstration to protest against the JNSB.

"We also urge Unisel amicably resolve this problem and do not want the Selangor Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim leave this issue just like that and he should be responsible in his capacity as Chief Minister of Selangor and do not just sit without doing any action," said Secretaryof AKSI, Ekhsan Bukharee Badarul Hisham in a statement today.

AKSI urged to issue CF and does not taken advantage by any political alliances to benefit of their cronies.

They also urged the parties and  related parties resolve this matter immediately.

"At our level - Unisel particularly, student does not want this issue politicized on the basis of political interests, especially the importance of their cronies.

"AKSI wants both Unisel and JNSB resolve these issues through discussion because the agreement was signed during the time of the former Chief Minister Dr Mohd Khir Toyo requires Unisel pay JNSB hostel eventhough not used during the semester holidays," said Ekhsan again.

Ekhsan said this when commenting on the issue of failure to pay rent Unisel JNSB boarding.
On Friday, workers and contractors have demonstrated JNSB and prevent the entrance of Unisel.

PAS: We Will Walk Alone!

PAS, can be considered the only ‘sane’ party in the opposition alliance of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) should reconsider its position given that its objective to create an Islamic state will be very far fetch.

DAP, the chauvinistic party that champion the Chinese cause and now evidently the Christian cause, according to some blogs, will fight to the death to stop PAS from achieving its objective.

PAS, the longest Islamic party but Malay-based has always open its doors to non-Muslims, purported to educate the non-Muslims on Islam and its teaching but everyone knows it is to reach out to the non-Muslims for votes.

The party has never had so much support from the non-Muslims all along and they had never had so good response until they tie up with DAP and PKR.

Both parties gave PAS the boost in votes but the reality is both parties will not allow PAS to set up a theology state it has been struggling and championing since its inception in 1955.

DAP openly opposes the Islamic state and Hudud laws while PKR comprises liberal Malays who would rather live in an open liberal laws that everyone knows the reasons why.

In this situation, it is better for PAS to go alone as only then the party truly knows its real support, its true real followers who truly supports its Islamic cause, not voters who voted just because the party is tied up in an alliance with DAP and PKR.

Given the opposition the party has from within its own alliance, it is better for PAS to go alone so that voters can get its clear vision rather than now where the party is playing with sentiments rather than real objectives.

Walking on a tightrope for fear of losing support from those supporting DAP and PKR, the party has been playing with words, pacifying supporters as well as DAP and PKR on the subject matter, the very cause the party was formed.

But given the situation now where DAP and PKR have stated their intentions and oppositions as clear as a crystal, PAS should just go on its own way since it prides having ‘ex-Umno leaders’ and ex-top civil servants in its fold.

If it goes its own way, the party can also eliminate the leaders who are being manipulated or in reality followers of PKR de facto chief Anwar Ibrahim, who has been undermining the party for his own benefit.

Anwar attained PhD. in Empty Promises?

Grand promises are easy for PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to make because the opposition need not have to fulfil them to the people, said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Maximus Ongkili.

The Kota Marudu member of parliament said it is plain to see that Anwar is just a “master promise maker”.

Dr Ongkili described Anwar’s promises made at a ceramah in Kota Marudu to give RM650 to each old folk and RM100 to every child born until they reach the age of 18 as “just another promise they can make under the sun because they don’t have to fulfil them”.

“I urge Anwar to stop making wild promises. If the opposition in Pakatan Rakyat are sincere, then implement these promises now in the Pakatan-controlled states,” Dr Ongkili said.

Speaking at the launch of Gerakan Biru Kota Marudu at the Kota Marudu

Community Hall, he said his Kota Marudu parliamentary constituency which include the Tandek and Matunggong state seats, have developed by leaps and bounds under Barisan Nasional.

This is undeniable, he said, and the development can clearly be seen notably in terms of infrastructure and amenities such as roads, water supply, housing as well as education.

“We admit more needs to be done, thus it is important for the three seats in Kota Marudu to remain in Barisan Nasional in order to benefit from the transformation programmes initiated by our Prime Minister,” he said at the event that was held to ensure Kota Marudu remained a stronghold of Barisan Nasional.

“The opposition cannot improve on this development in Kota Marudu. What they can do is bring Kota Marudu backward if they are given these seats,” he told the people who thronged the hall.

At the event, Dr Ongkili also gave out RM100 each to 100 old folks, single mothers and the poor who received the Yayasan Kebajikan Negara aid in conjunction with Hari Raya.

Also, a total of 21 mosques in Matunggong and 25 mosques in Tandek

received RM1,000 each while two suraus in Matunggong and 25 suraus in

Tandek received M500 each from the MP’s touch points allocation

RM100 untuk masuk PAS?

Penulis amat tertarik dengan sebuah video yang kini berada di laman sesawang youtube. Dimana video ini memaparkan majlis Artis Abby Abadi meyertai PAS secara rasmi. Video itu juga memaparkan artis ini bersama pemimpin tertinggi PAS dalam uapacara rasmi tersebut.

Tatkala memehatikan video ini, ada sesuatu yang telah menarik perhatian penulis. Jikalau diperhatikan pada minit ke 1.44, Abby Abadi akan mengeluarkan borang pendaftaran ahli PAS. Borang itu dipaparkan oleh Abby sendiri untuk menunjukkan penyerahan borang secara rasminya.

Maka apa pula yang menariknya disini? 

Jika diperhatikan, para penonton boleh perhatikan wang kertas RM100.00 disertakan bersama borang tersebut. Mengapakah ini berlaku? Adakah ahli baru dikenakan yuran RM100.00 untuk menyertai PAS?

Penulis masih musykil dengan slogan "PAS untuk Semua" & Wang kertas RM100.00....

RM107mil to RM165mil! Selangor's Land -Overvalued!

Earlier today I had the opportunity to visit the overvalued Ulu Yam Hill-Slope land along with YB Dato’ Chua Tee Yong.

One thing for sure, from deals like this, one can only come to conclusion that there is a serious lacking of transparency and competency by the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor (PRSelangor)


I would like to share information with regards to the Ulu Yam Hill-Slope land issue and I’m sure that you would be able to make a reasonable conclusion. My appreciation to Y.B. Dato’ Chua Tee Yong for highlighting this issue and allowing me to share the following information;


1. In 2010, PRSelangor government accepted a 60% shares in a company called Ulu Yam & Country Club Sdn. Bhd. (Company) at RM4.2million. The remainder 40% is held by a subsidiary of KHSB.


2. This company has not commenced operation since incorporation and has liabilities of RM807,000 as at 31st January 2010.


3. The only asset of the company is a 199 acres of Ulu Yam hill-slope land. Thus the value of the shares of the company is dependent on the hill-slope land.


4. This is the third piece of hill-slope land accepted by PRSelangor state government from the Talam deal. These hill slope land are Class 3 & Class 4 slope that is above 25 degree and above 35 degree respectively.


(Note: Class 3 (C3) hill-slope development rules are strict and for Class 4 (C4), only development allowed is for national infrastructure project. In 2009, the PRSelangor Government had frozen all development plans on C3 and C4 land pending new guideline on hill-slope development.)


5. KHSB has rejected first proposal of PRSelangor government proposal for KHSB to acquire the 60% share at RM4.2 million on 3rd May 2010.


6. Subsequently, a second proposal by PRSelangor government to KHSB was made whereby KHSB has done a valuation on the hill-slope land on July 2011 by Sulaiman & Co. the 199 acres is only worth RM5.0 million.


7. Thus at 60% of the shares in the company whose asset is only hill-slope land would be worth RM3 million. Compared to 2010, when PRSelangor accepted a 60% shares at RM4.2 million, there is a depreciation/drop in value of RM1.2 million.


8. There is an apparent overvaluation of RM2.1 million for the 60% shares on the Company.


9. PRSelangor government should have consulted KHSB before accepting the 60% shares as KHSB owns 40% of the shares.


10. Did the PRSelangor State Government conduct an independent valuation carried out by the state valuer?


11. Was there an independent financial and/or legal due diligence being carried out and was the liabilities of RM807,000 taken into account?


12. From this deal we can see there is lack of transparency and competency by PRSelangor government, for accepting 60% overvalued shares of a company where the only asset is class 3 and 4 hill-slope land and having liabilities of RM807,000.


In summary, what YB Dato’ Chua Tee Yong have exposed in the Talam deal by PRSelangor government is as follows;


a) Overvalued land that is underwater or forest & ecology zone;

b) Overvalued land that is ex-mining pond;

c) Overvalued office units and retail lot that are vacant;

d) Overvalued Hill-slope land Class 3 & 4, and now

e) Overvalued shares of a company.


Total apparent overvaluation;


a) Bestari Jaya (RM42million to RM100million);

b) Danau Putra (RM57million);

c) Menara Pandan Office lots (RM1.9million);

d) Hill-slope Ulu Yam land (RM5.3million), and

e) 60% shares (RM1.2million)


TOTAL: RM107 million to RM165 million.

Lim Guan Eng and The Pathetic Penang Indians!

Until today, he said the Pakatan government had not built a single affordable house to benefit the lower income people, who were pre-dominantly Indians and Malays.

He pointed out that the Auditor-General’s Report had stated that the state government had failed to build a single unit of low-cost housing since 2008.

As a result, Mohan said, the lower-income Penangites were facing acute shortage of affordable houses.

He said housing projects carried out in Penang for the past four years were only posh houses for the rich.

He said the state government had lacked commitment to resolve Indian housing issues in Mak Mandin, Batu Kawan and Bagan Dalam’s Hujung Batu.

He also said the Lim administration had yet to allot land on its own for Tamil schools, except transferring land titles for plots already alienated by the previous Barisan Nasional state government.

Even for Hindu temples, he said, the state government had given land mainly for temples managed by cronies of a certain politician. 

"Only 1.75 mil out of 72 mil given to Tamil Schools in Penang!"

The annual RM1.75 million state funds allocated for Tamil schools, he said, was too little compared with over RM40 million given to Malay schools and nearly RM30 million for Chinese schools.

Divided by 28 schools in Penang, he said each school got only RM62,500.

If based on the estimated 150,000 Indians living in Penang, he said each Indian was allotted nearly RM12 each.

“Lim’s policies have been pro-developer and populist schemes to fish votes. His policies have not been people-orientated and good governance. Indians rightly feel betrayed by the state government,”
