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.

In the blog titled 'Gelagat Anwar', the June 16, 18 and 19 postings listed the attendees and detailed the discussions on seat allocations and problems faced by PKR in Penang.

A check revealed that one of those in the list of attendees - Kebun Bunga assemblyperson Jason Ong Khan Lee - was absent from the meeting.

Those present, other than Mansor, included state PKR deputy chief Law Choo Kiang; Bukit Bendera division deputy chief Felix Ooi; Bayan Baru deputy chief Tan Seng Keat; 2004 candidate for Bayan Baru Raymond Ong; Tanjung Youth chief Ng Chek Siang; Batu Uban chief Cheah Peng Guan and the DCM's assistant John Ooi, who is also a PKR member in Bayan Baru.

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.
