Kajang issues, the real ones.



If anyone things there is no problem between these two they are wrong, both men want to serve and both men think they can do better.

Fight now together for party then  to fight each other later for Party as well
They will allow the membership to decide that and that is the democratic process, there will be an election for the deputy in PKR.

PKR is not UMNO where there have not seen elections in a long  while now, and anyone who dares to stand against the leadership is out even if he wins. Remember Khairy's win over Mukhriz?

In PKR the membership   seems to think  the other way,  they are encouraging Khalid to stand against Azmin,  and that encouragement is coming from all sides, they feel it will strengthen the party whichever way the party elections go, the party has no plugs to pull to stop him too, it's let the best man win as it should be.

Anwar's entry into the State assembly has a lot to do with this and there is no denying it, but he is also there to ensure that the UMNO plan to drop Najib works, and that is in full steam.

Remember after the last elections he tried to rally the people together agaisnt Najib in what was after all a rigged elections where the Keadillan lost due to irregularities in all the processes, including the indelible ink, the other parties in Pakaatan did not give him their support and he was forced to call it off.

Now he knows about the UMNO plot, Anwar knows more about the happenings in UMNO than UMNO knows about PKR and that is why Najib called all the diplomats together to warn them about what they say, he knows that even in his own office there is no such thing as a secret.

Now notice the conciliatory attitude of both Muhyiddin and Liow that they will not attack personalities, that is because if the MCA a Chinese based party discarded by the Chinese as was seen at the last elections  can't afford to attack Anwar personally - A Malay leader although its former President has been doing so for a long time.
"No personal attacks in this campaign"

Chua Soi Lek is by his own admission a sex offender and the government let him off Scot free, whereas we have had UMNO men accuse Anwar about a lot of sex offenses and even though it was found to be false they have gone off Scot free.

Anwar has been acquitted by the courts time and time again for alleged sexual offenses and the government goes after him over and over again, why waste our money on what the rakyat now firmly believe are trumped up charges and which the rakyat will not give the courts any credibility if they found otherwise. Moreover they have to dbring in an outside lawyer to help their case, it only proves the incompetence of our Attorney General.

If MCA goes on the offensive using these frivolous charges against Anwar the Malay vote will experience an extreme swing towards Anwar, he already has the confidence of the majority of the Malays in the constituency but the remaining Malays being Malays will not stomach a Chinese insulting a Malay, and Anwar has UMNO to thaank for that attitude.

The job of getting at Anwar and making all kinds of noise about the Saiful case is now the job of Zaid Ibrahim, planted in Kajang by Najib himself to do just that nd reduce the majority of the PJR vote this time around. He needs that to justify his staying in power, as he know the plots being htched behind his back to get him out.

MAC's offering on the UMNO alter
One may want to ask why Zaid,  and not another UMNO man, the answer is very simple, Muhyiddin and the Mahahtir camp want the BN to lose Kajang, it is in their own personal interests, an UMNO candidaate is bound to fail in Kajang too, and so put an MCA candidate and when they lose Najib can ask again, "Apa lagi Cina mau?" Well not Kangkung for sure, neither do the Malays of Kajang want Kangkung. 

So you do not put a Malay in Kajang,it will backfire on you not an UMNO Malay, but you need a Maly for Kajang to steal the Malay vote and for that he has the famous Trojan Horse - Zaid Ibrahim, now a hopeless decoy.

Liow is fully aware of this UMNO plan, but MCA as MCA always is and as it  always will be are servants of UMNO. What UMNO demands MCA gives in to, including offering a sacrificial offering of Chew Mei Fun.

“Fulfill Malaysia Agreement or Go Separate Ways - Dr. Jeffrey”

In what is seen as the most direct hit at Putrajaya Dr. Jeffery Kitingan has told the Federal government in a press release issued today that, " The Malaysia Agreement must be fulfilled or all the 3 nation-states must be allowed to go separate ways as it is the wish and desire of a slight majority of Sabahans and Sarawakians.'

/The Press release issued today a copy of which has been extended to this blog  is presented for the reading of all.

Many of the readers of this blog my not be aware of the promises and guarantees that were given to East Malaysians before they joined Malaysia, east Malaysians demanded certain rights which were given and eventually eroded away by the Mahathir regime.

A read of the Press release by Dr. Jeffery Kitingan is being placed here so that  you may know some of the issues; 

     


                                       
PRESS STATEMENT

 Fulfill Malaysia Agreement or Go Separate Ways - Dr. Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu:     “Now that the installation of Pehin Sri Taib as the 7th Governor of Sarawak has taken place, the leaders of Sabah and Sarawak need to focus and speak with one voice that the Malaysia Agreement needs to be implemented and fulfilled” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, commenting on Malaysia’s top judge, Chief Justice Tun Arifin Zakaria that Sabah and Sarawak formed Malaysia and that they are key partners in the Federation of Malaysia.

And equally important, Tun Arifin had clearly stated the correct history that Malaya gained independence on 31 August 1957 and that Malaysia was only formed in 1963 with special safeguards for Sabah and Sarawak in their constitutional arrangement.

Not only has the terms and conditions of the formation of Malaysia as contained in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and the various documents and verbal assurances and promises not been complied with, there were numerous constitutional amendments which eroded the special rights and position of Sabah and Sarawak.   They were highlighted in the book 'The Constitutional Rights of Sabah and Sarawak' that was launched by the Chief Justice recently.

The common stand and voice of the Borneo States should be in no uncertain terms.  The Malaysia Agreement must be fulfilled or all the 3 nation-states must be allowed to go separate ways as it is the wish and desire of a slight majority of Sabahans and Sarawakians.

Any other stand will give the Malayan federal leaders the wrong assumption and presumption that Sabah and Sarawak are not serious in their demands for the terms of the formation of Malaysia to be complied with.   They will continue to remain comfortable in their high offices in Putrajaya and do not care for Sabahans and Sarawakians until it is time for elections.

For instance, PM Najib had promised the BN partners in Sarawak that there would be a Cabinet re-shuffle after the Umno general assembly in early December 2013 to accommodate MPs from Sarawak whose parties were dissatisfied with the distribution of ministerial posts after the May general elections.    

Despite Sabah and Sarawak holding kingmaker positions, Najib has failed to undertake the Cabinet re-shuffle since then.

Perhaps the Sarawak BN parties with the support of TYT Taib in the background should just leave BN and see what happens next since the PM has seen no urgency to consider the interests of the BN parties there.

If so, it won’t be surprising that the PM, DPM and top guns in Umno including ex-PMs making a beeline for Kuching to persuade the Sarawak BN components and the Governor from ditching BN.

The continuation of the down-grading of Sabah and Sarawak as the 12th and 13th States in Malaysia contrary to what was intended in 1963 as equal partners can no longer be accepted.   The continuation of the rape and pillage of Sabah and Sarawak’s oil wealth and revenues and marginalization in development allocations can no longer be condoned.

-2-


Even in times of need, the people of Sabah and Sarawak are treated shabbily and not equals to other Malaysians in the Peninsula as can be seen in the recent federal flood aid.   In the Peninsula, aid in cash and in kind was poured from various ministries and other quarters while in Sabah and Sarawak they received virtually nothing from the federal government.

After 50 years of marginalization and victimization, the Malaysia Agreement and all its promises and assurances need to be implemented and fulfilled.    There was to be a review after 10 years, yet 40 years later, nothing appears to be on the horizon.   Even a motion to discuss the matter in Parliament was rejected as not urgent.   

If after 50 years, it is not urgent, do not expect Sabahans and Sarawakians to wait another 50 years for it to be urgent.  

The rumblings of discontentment amongst the people in Sabah and Sarawak are at its highest point with a slight majority wanting Sabah and Sarawak to opt out of Malaysia.   Their sentiments are further fanned and fuelled by Malay ultras and religious bigots who keep insisting that Malaysia is land of the Malays and that the other Malaysians are to be chased out.  

Yet, the PM and the federal government has taken no action to stop such seditious and treasonous acts or to correct the Malayan misconception that Malaya is Malaysia when it is clear as daylight that without Sabah and Sarawak, the key partners, there is no Malaysia.

If Najib is serious with his national reconciliation plan, it must include the review and implementation of the terms and conditions of the formation of Malaysia.    Otherwise, like Singapore in 1965, there should be an amicable parting of separate ways for the Borneo States.

Safeguards valid for Sabah, S'wak
Published on: Friday, February 28, 2014
Kota Kinabalu: The formation of Malaysia in 1963 was the passage to independence for Sabah and Sarawak which
came with special safeguards.
The States of Malaya gained independence from the British in 1957.
"Last year we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the formation of Malaysia. It was a key milestone marking a half
century since the states of Malaya, the Borneo states, namely Sabah and Sarawak, and Singapore joined as partners
to form a free, independent and sovereign country - Malaysia," said Chief Justice of Malaysia, Tun Arifin bin Zakaria.
"The Cobbold Commission Report which was published on August 1, 1962 contained the unanimous conclusion that
a Federation of Malaysia was in the best interests of Sabah and Sarawak," he said in an address to judges and lawyers
during the book launch of 'The Constitutional Rights of Sabah and Sarawak' by Sukumaran Vanugopal at Hyatt Hotel
here recently.
"The Inter-Governmental Committee (IGC) set up by the British and Malayan governments to work out the constitutional
arrangement for the future of Malaysia recommended safeguards for the special interests of Sabah and Sarawak
(from the 20 Points of Sabah and 18 Points of Sarawak).
"This is to cover matters such as religious freedom, education, control of immigration, citizenship, the position of
indigenous races and the State Constitutions.
"All these important work and recommendations make up the formation of the constitutional law and rights of the
 States of Sabah and Sarawak."
"The Federal Constitution was amended on the formation of Malaysia to implement many of the safeguards recommended
by the IGC.
The subsequent constitutional amendments on the exit of Singapore are specifically highlighted.
"The effect of those amendments on the constitutional protection and safeguards guaranteed to Sabah and Sarawak
are dealt with in (Sukumaran's) book.
"It is a fitting tribute to the development of the law in the two key partner states of the Federation which was formed half
a century ago," Arifin said.
Opposition political leaders in the audience, including Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, were elated to hear the terms
"joined as partners" and "the two key partner states of the Federation".


Time To Bury Zaid - Bury His Backside Strategy

After a sandiwara in UMNO this man "left" UMNO to join PKR and was very welcomed. 

As usual for a man who does not understand strategy but who accumulated his riches as an UMNO crony he went in expecting to make it to the top immediately from where he could destroy PKR.


UMNO's  Trojan Horse 
His plans failed and he was a PKR discard, his antiquated "Trojan Horse" strategy did not work and so he decided to start another party to neutralise PKR, that is and has been the UMNO strategy  - to destroy or neutralise the PKR.

When he moved out he announced to all and sundry that they should back him,  the call was BackZaid, and so he initiated what was then mockingly called the Backside Party, from which he resigned after he found out that the  Backside was not so appropriate.

He made subtle overtures to return but the PKR were not UMNO and they could read through him the message he recevied was, "Thanks but no Thanks."

He is an UMNO man through and through. A crony who amassed riches via UMNO based projects.  

His presence in Kajang is at the request of Najib who is desperately trying to use him to reduce the PKR minority, not even to win, if he wins Najib will consider it a bonus, for that matter if he wins MCA should close shop or pull out of BN as this is after all the UMNO strategy from the Najib faction.

Najib requires him to garner Malay votes which are mostly slanted to PKR in the Kajang constituency, and is hoping the MCA will able able to deliver  better results then it did the last time around. That way Najib will claim that the electorate are turning towards him and neutralise any call for him to vacate the Prime Ministership at the expense of the MCA losing the UMNO vote to Zaid. he is setting up MCA to fail.

This truly is a backside strategy, it is full of Sai.

Anwar is seen by UMNO and its leadership, especially Mahathir Mohammed and Najib Tun Razak as a dangerous man. Anwar is also seen as dangerous to the former UMNO strong man Rahim Tamby Cik and many more who have dirty linen in the closet, that is why that UMNO Tamby plotted a sex scandal against Anwar before the last elections.

Does not look too happy
Have you ever noticed  how everytime an elections is looming Anwar is in the centre of an UMNO sex scam?


UMNO was seen by Malays as a staunch Muslim, it was he who was responsible for an "Islamic Renaissance," of a kind here in Malaysia, and so he was well respected among the Malays and the Muslims.

Anwar had actually neutralised PAS at that time but had not done it on purpose although as Deputy PM and UMNO member he maintained a close relationship with PAS.

The Malays did not see a need for PAS with Anwar at the helm, so Anwar was actually the strongest Malay leader of the time and he proved it when he went and ousted Gaffar Baba the DPM and the Deputy President of UMNO without even obtaining Mahathir's and when he announced he was taking on Gaffar every minster in the Mahathir cabinet except for Rafidah Aziz  and Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, was there at the meeting of the press vocally backing  him, that was the power in UMNO Anwar wielded at that time.

This made Mahathir sit up and take notice, the writing was on the wall and he knew Anwar had bigger plans because Anwar began distancing himself with Mahathir especially on the crony projects.

Anwar had to move and he had to move fast, he had to do it in view of the excesses practiced by his mentor Mahathir Muhammed, for whilst he respected Mahathir he loved and respected the nation even more.

The next move was to get rid of Mahathir and that is when he began to publicly speak about,  Nepotism, Cronyism and Corruption. That phrase in Malaysian politics was coined by Anwar and it was directed at Mahathir during his days as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.

Mahathir read the writing on the wall, his protege was bent on changing the status quo, and he was all out to get him.
 
Battle Hardy Patriot
The first sign that things were not right was after  the opening of Police Mosque in Penang, that is where the fight came out in the open, the then IGP was there and Anwar walked out of the meeting.

A week or two later Anwar was sacked and charged with Sodomy.

Why sodomy?

Because if it was adultery or another sex scandal,  many a Malay leader some  much bigger than Anwar would have been guilty of the same thing so why pick on Anwar?

Sodomy so that they could attack and tarnish his Islamic credentials, and make him a nobody  in the eyes of the Malays and Muslims in this country - the backbone of UMNO.

And so it was,  they conspired, and charged him with sodomy  and incarcerated Anwar, the plan was to use Azmin, by shaking him up and to give doctored evidence, Azmin stood firm and refused to bear false witness against his boss for whatever gain UMNO was willing to give him in return.

Now does that explain why Najib concocted  another Sodomy case?

After first claiming that Saiful went to see him for a Scholarship and all those lies that followed, he coolly washed his hands off pretending he was not involved.

Najib has been implicated in an adultery case in Port Doickson, it was Mahathir who saved him there, and so to get Anwar it could not be a sexual case that would ahve been too ordinary in UMNO,  the Malays will not buy it so the Saiful case really a shit full case, a miserable and shameful attempt to discredit an Islamic leader with good values, by people who call themselves Muslims.

Malaysia needs a lot of soul searching, the Muslims in Malaysia need a lot of soul searching in this particular case, if they can stomach this nonsense something is terribly wrong with the value system in Malaysia, and the people of Kajang both Muslims and non Muslims must send a very strong message to Najib and the rest of the establishment. 

Enough is Enough we've had just enough in fact too much.

Vote Anwar in, send Najib out!!!!!!  and bury the likes of Zaid Ibrahim once and for all.

KAJANG - NOTHING TO DO WITH INDIANS.

P Wythmoorthy being sworn in courtesy of UMNO
 Wytha calls for Kajang to be turned into a referendum for Indians, now how can one be more stupid?

How can you have a referendum of the Indians in a constituency that has only about 10 per cent Indians and who do not even make up one percent of the total Indian population of the country. 

That is Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia (PHM) chief P Waythamoorthy's logic.

Now like me, do you see a chicken running around without a neck?





At the onset of his decision to back the BN I said this man and his brother were nothing but  political opportunists, and I was not far wrong.

He told the Indians the greatest Tamil story, and I am surprised that to this day no one has taken it to make a movie of it.

Both Uthay and Wytha, were gunning to become the "leaders of the Indian Community" within the BN when it became apparent that Samy's tenure was coming to an end.

This could not be done by trying to overthrow Samy from within the MIC, as Samy had locked all the doors and there was no way they could get into fortress MIC as it was all Samy's, so they had to find an alternate route.

In UMNO Indian bashing was the order of the day, we had Toyo go on a rampage destroying Hindu temples, and what UMNO does both MIC and MCA can't stop, it is the privilege of UMNO, in fact it was not even to be questioned, so the sacred Hindu  temple destruction went on unabated.


The Samy who had taken on Mohammed Taib during his heyday, and who told him "Mentris Besar come and Menteris go, and I can't be expected to listen to all of them,'" now  seemed helpless with what Toyo was doing, the times had changed and were changing.

Many Indians felt he was in cahoots with Toyo, but to be fair  that was not the case it was actually the fact that he was trying and (like I said what UMNO wants to do it does and both MCA and MIC or for that matter any BN component can't stop,) that he could do nothing,  that made his opponents in HINDRAF capitalise on the temple issue to gain support.

When you play with religion you get a whole people against you and this was the sentiment that HINDRAF used to catapult themselves into the lime light and gain support of the Indians. It was Hindu temples and this literally gave birth to Hindu Rights Action Front it seemed very appealing to the Hindus it was time to do something.

When this happened  the opportunity presented itself ot HINFDRAF to show a confused and ignorant Abdullah Badawi that it was they -  HINDRAF who had the support of the Indians and not MIC,  now they thought that would be a sure ticket for them to claim Indian representation and get Badawi to listen to them and cast MIC aside.

To actually display this strength they had to bring the Indians to town in numbers that would get everyone sitting up and watching, and to do that in full force they had to have a good story and so the greatest Tamil story was concocted by HINDRAF.

They were going to March to the office of the British High Commissioner to present a letter to the queen demanding that all Indians in this country be compensated with  RM1 million, for after all it was the British who brought these Indians into the country as Indentured labour, and then left them here without any guarantees in the granting of Independence and as a result these Indians continue to live in a marginalised state.                                                                


One million ringgit? Why most of the people who turned up never even held RM5 thousand in their hands at a single time, and this was 1 million ringgit, it was worth fighting for.

The million ringgit story did the trick, almost every mother's son in the Tamil Community came down to Kuala Lumpur, they were willing to be gassed, to be sprayed with chemi
cally laced water for a cause, and that cause to them was the million ringgit.

It must be admitted that it was that single event that had the greatest impact on the 2008 elections, it was that event that shook the Barisan to the chore and instead of capitalising on that event both brothers decided their own  personal interest came first.


The blow dealt to Barisan in 2008 saw an unprecedented number of Indians in Parliament and State assemblies. 


That to a great extent that was the doing of this HINDRAF rally cannot be denied, that the BN lost its foothold in Parliament can be attributed to this rally again cannot be denied, but the HINDRAF leaders as we can see today were not in this for this, they were in it to replace MIC in government.

They Indians who made it to Parliament were not there on the Indian vote, they were there because they were the most suitable for office and not even because they were Indian, but because they were Malaysians, they were voted in mostly by the Chinese and the Malays and the few Indians you find in every constituency in the country.


No Indian can win a single seat in this country counting on the Indian vote alone, it is not possible as there are no Indian majority constituencies and so Indians of all people in this country must distance themselves from racial politics it is not in their interest.

After that entire fiasco instead of joining forces with the opposition by actually joining the parties in a joint struggle for a fair playing field these two brothers continued with their Indian politics, the dream of representing the Indians in a government that divides and rules, they were bent on being the "New Samy."



Uthay began making demands for specific allocation of seats to the HINDRAF, the HINDRAF split there was Makal Sakthi and HINDRAF and everyone wanted to jump the band wagon, even the two brothers split with each other, one decided to go it alone and lost his deposit in the last elections, the other decided to throw his support behind Najib for whom Najib had to arrange special protection when he went on campaign trail.

After getting into Parliament on charity accorded by Najib and UMNO  Wythya was in no position to make any demands legitimate or otherwise, after all, all that he had now was on charity and beggars they say can't be choosers, it was what everybody expected, UMNO seemed to be telling him, "take your seat, take your money and shut up!!"



After they way they behaved prior to the elections,  bargaining left right and centre  for seat allocations which none of the parties including BN  took  seriously, the Indians or  the majority of the Indians began discarding them, they felt that it was not worth supporting them,  and UMNO is so fully aware of this,  so why give serious consideration to the demands of this chap Wytha? After all they rewarded him handsomely for doing absolutely nothing.

If he had gone to Parliament on a PKR or DAP ticket,  that is,  if he played his cards right, he would have been able to make demands and put pressure on the Government, the government would take him more seriously, as they would have realised and acknowledged HINDRAF as a body that could really shake them up, but after all these wheeling and dealing, with him accepting a ministerial position whilst his brother was jailed no one took him seriously, leas of all Najib.

For all the good intentions he might have had,  his approach and his strategy were all fouled up, he even lost the support of most of the Indians who supported him, many who say, "he turned his back on his own brother."

He was totally subdued in government by UMNO and we all saw that, so is this move of his only temporary, is it a subtle attempt to deceive the Indian voter again, will Najib promise a handout to the 10 per cent Indians in Kajang at the last minute to swing the vote, and will this man then go back to government at a more alleviated level for having served his masters so well. After all that is the function of the MCA, MIC and all BN components to serve UMNO and get individually rewarded.

The Kajang Indians must realise, like every Malaysian should, be more Malaysian and less Indian, Chinese or Malay for therein lies our future. 



The PKR Issues
Issues should not be confused, it is an election, Anwar is standing in Kajang, there is discord in PKR, but being a democratic party it is transparent so you get to see what is happening, it is not hidden under the carpet. 


Disagreements in democratic political parties are common, and Anwar being the defacto leader has to find a way to settle it.

As I see it Anwar is trying to strike a balance between both Khalid and Azmin and hence this move. Khalid is an excellent MB no denying it, he is the best, Selangor is the bes performing state in the country, but problems plague the party.


It will not be a loss for Selangor, to haveAnwar, who is  PM material run the state, it can only get better.

PKR's issues are not hidden under the carpet that is what democracy is all about, and most supporters of the party will be glad that it isn't.

Khalid's decision to take on Azmin for the position of Deputy President must be lauded, Khalid has made many admirers both in the party and outside, if he wins which is very likely looking at the sentiment, it may spell a new and more dynamic era for the party something PKR must have.

Maybe Khalid has to be dropped from the MB position it will make him a more astute politician, and a better leader, these are the trying processes in building the kind of leadership we require for the nation.

In the meantime the people of Kajang have to be aware, and remain focused on the real issues effecting them, the BN has never done anything for the people but to bankrupt the states and Municipal treasuries, the present government of opposition states have brought these states and Municipalities back into the black, the funds are there to begin developing so stay focused and do not get fooled by the BN. Every BN politician has several agendas of their own and none genuinely for the people, we have seen it happen over and over again.

Kajang is not an Indian referedum as I said earlier.


Kajang  is the town that will bury Najib,  Wytha's boss.

Wythamoorthy is deflecting the issue.

If Kajang is won back by the PKR Najib must step down, after all he lost the popular vote at the last elections and that means the majority of the voters voted against him, it is only because of the way the constituencies are aligned that he won.

By losing the popular vote he lost the moral authority to rule, now if he loses Kajang a town just next to Putrajaya he has to go and that is what UMNO is brewing for him and rightly so.

Kajang has nothing to do with the Indians,  Kajang  will determine Najib's fate.

GST - Will the Real Traitors Stand Up?








Najib Admits Nation may go Bankrupt.

The truth is out and it has exposed the lies that were told before the last General Elections have now come out in the open b an open admission from the Prime Minster himself.

As Anwar went on his rounds showing people the poor  financial performance of the nation under the various finance minister after he left (including the worst Finance Minster this nation has ever had, leave alone being the worst Prime - Minister Najib Abdul Razak) the PM  and his  bunch of idiots were denying it saying we still remain above water and our financial situation is strong.

Extravagance

 Money was splashed out for the last General elections like there was no tomorrow,  millions were thrown into Penang to try and unseat Lim Guan Eng but all failed, Muhyiddin was saying the government will increase BRIM to RM1,000 if they win as there was a lot in the coffers,  and now we are told by the Prime Minsiter himself that it is either GST or Bankruptcy.

Whilst he tells uss that he is the only PM who has never during his tenure as PM gone out of the country on MAS preferring to fly in a single private plane for those purposes which  cost the rakyat millions and millions of ringgit.

The effects on the ordinary man


This government is not only going Bankrupt it is bankrupt of ideas and the only way it sees out is to tax the ordinary man, the man on the street. GST or an additional 6 percent for goods and services is a huge amount to the ordinary worker, most of whom do not even make that amount on their annual increments and whilst this government is sanctioning the hike in price of essential commodities.

Even the meager 900 ringgit minimum wage cannot be enforced, Chau Soil Lek - one of the most confounded idiots in the BN and the "Head of the MCA" has often said he will fight the minimum wage set at RM900 and even to this day there are many employers who have not implemented this ruling, and this same Chua Soi Lek is coy to the idea of GST implementation.

Most Malaysian workers make less that 6 percent annual increment, so how are these "traitors" going to cope with paying the GST.

The minimum wage  ruling  which was to come into effect in 2013 will come into effect  hopefully on the January 1, 2014 the date set by the Ministry of Human Resources and that will bring to nought the increase these workers make by the implementation of the GST.

If this happens (the implementation of the minimum wage) and if it is enforced throughout the nation then the Malaysian workers whose salary is below RM900 will have their salaries adjusted to RM900 or so we are led to believe,most Malaysians do not believe this government will able to implement this ruling. It will only mean more unemployed Malaysian workers because employers have a choice to employ non citizens( foreign workers) for less then the stipulated minimum wage.

We'll have  to pay 6 percent on electricity and water bills, we'll have to pay 6 percent on household essentials we purchase, we'll have to pay 6 percent when we go to the Doctor, the Dentist , the optician, the pharmacist, we'll have to pay 6 percent even when we buy our underwear and for our coffins and the grave and the service of the undertaker, and all this so we do not go Bankrupt.

Will our six per cent really save us from Bankruptcy, think and think hard, Najib Tun Razak, if you have the capacity to think in the first place.

 This country has scaled up the heights to become one of the most corrupt nations in the world, and it is this corruption that will lead us to bankruptcy, I hope some of the idiots and opportunists who call themselves nationalists - the  ordinary UMNO members will see this and come to some realisation and pursue these issues, those who see it and refuse to do anything about it are the real traitors.

Whilst we go on paying this 6 percent and continue feeding the corrupt of this nation which of course includes the cronies, this  nation wll continue to be bled financially and GST or no GST we'll go Bankrupt.

We have seen how the corrupt in high places are protected, we see how their masters come to court, people who do not remember things that go against their case and give such eloquent witness for their political 'slaves."

Najib and his government has done absolutely nothing to go after corrupt  in the country. It is not the people they are out to serve, but heir own selfish selves.

Take the Selangor Water Concessionaires as and example, the billions that the Selangor State Government is being forced to pay to take back after all what is its own. The water resources of the State of Selangor belong to the people of Selangor and not some band of  Federal  Government appointed cronies.

The reports of the Auditor General are scorned, the PM scorns the report by not giving the due credit it requires, he must be seen to be cleaning up what has now become habitual corrupt pracitces in the government service, year in year out.

The son of the Prime Minister has become a Millionaire even before beginning to  work and one wonders why, I am told it is from the pocket money his father gave him, but how did his father become so rich, did he inherit that from his father the late Tun Razak?

Well I remember that whilst Najib was the Menteri Besar of Pahang and just before ops lallang Kit Siang kept asking in Parliament about a 30 million ringgit timber concession given to a person whose address was a low cost house in Pahang. That question was never answered, Kit Siang was detained under the ISA and the rest became history. Could there have been more timber concessions?

Well we'll also have to consider that Rosma was part owner of the Consultancy that provided consultancy services to the Ministry of Defence to by Submarines and there is a lot of money there gone unaccounted for.

Rosamh a defence consultant? Well that is not hard to believe, if she has the ability to have twisted the then Defence Minister with her little finger, why not?


Even today she is accorded Prime ministerial status, she is flying around like a roving ambassadress giving speeches in lofty circles, speeches I am told she herself does not understand.

To try and justify her trips she is accompanied by other members of Parliament, and they even take a break to shop at Dubai, whilst those who oppose the  6 percent GST are branded "traitors," by her beloved husband.

Then there is the  Shah Alam Hospital will we ever live to see the day that hospital is completed and operational, and ease the unnecessary congestion in the Klang General Hospital, the rakyat are being burdened again to pay for this hospital after the initial sums went up in holy smoke.

 Nepotism, Cronyism and Corruption the main contributors

 What Najib has to address is what brought us to this situation?

The answer plain and simple is corruption, nepotism and cronyism, but that  may sound little  clichesish if I can use the term.

Nepotism and Cronyism are totally counter productive, so too is corruption. When the jobs are not given to  the best but farmed out to cronies  who do not even have an inkling of what it is all about it is bound to be disastrous, and at the end of the day it is the rakyat who have to foot the bill, and today this same rakyat are being branded 'Traitors" for opposing the GST and the GST is being put iin place because this government allowed our money to be squandered most often by their own people.

The PKFZ is one shining example, there is the case our Perwaja and the BBMB scandal, there are the bailouts of government appointed cronies that has cost the rakyat millions and yet these cronies remain millionaires whilst he rakyat have to pay GST, or the nation will go bankrupt.

We've heard of the son of one of our foremost leaders who contemplated suicide when he was refused to be bailed out by Anwar following the 1997 financial crisis, and if that was true that man is Billionaire today by any measure.

All these people who have led companies and failed and rendered them almost bankrupt remain among the elite bunch of millionaires in the country, how nice after spending our money after making he businesses they were entrusted to run and manage go bust, they become millionaires.

How come a country on the verge of Bankruptcy is one of the most important markets for cars like the Lamborghini, (http://motoring.malaysia.msn.com/lamborghini-aventador-roadster-launched-in-malaysia) and even the Ferrari, these cars come with price tags that go up in the millions of ringgit.

Take a look around  whilst the ordinary man on the street is being asked to come out with six percent of his meager earnings  for GST, the Rich and famous many who have become rich via cronyism nepotism and corruption enjoy untold luxuries at the expense of the poor, many if not most  whose wages have yet to reach RM900 peer month.

Monopolies like sugar trade, and Electricity supply to homes have rendered Companies less productive but with the help of the government regulate prices they remain among eh best business performers and how? Simple just pass he bill to the customer.

Tenaga even had the audacity to change electric meters telling consumers that the  old meters were reading wrongly and even when it was reading  wrongly they  were making huge profits now even more with the new Meters.

It is no secret that Members of Parliament and State Assembly members who cross over are paid in the millions, who pays for this, even if it is BN friendly corporations owned by cronies the burden eventually falls back on the ordinary man who is now being threatened to be classified a "traitor,." if he opposes this bill.

Take Back our Coutry


Traitors are those who close a blind eye to corruption, cronyism and nepotism just to enrich  that select few and suffer the rakyat and so let us fight the real traitors and bring our country back to where it belongs from the brink of Bankruptcy where it really is today by the admission of Najib Tun Razak himself.

Be there when the opposition  organises this mass protest against the GST.

Typical - Chuah Soi Lek, Typical Liow Tiong Lai - Typically MCA

How typical can it get, the power struggle has begun, it is time to tell the dhoby to get to the streets and  to wash all the dirty linen there  so that the public can  get a closer look at that dirty underwear, the soiled sheets etc, and that is the MCA story being retold.

It is time to claim the big prize - the opportunity to be,  "the big running dog of UMNO" and it is there for the the taking.

Liow was so sure it was his,  he assumed that he was the anointed successor especially after joining forces with Chuah to oust Ong Tee Keat at an extraordinary meeting mooted bey certain ex MCA top guns to shield themselves from being properly and honestly prosecuted for the PKFZ case, a case in which Najib had to step in to remove Ong's involvement.

All Ong was trying to do was to re establish MCA's integrity which had gone to shambles after the PKFZ scandal, the Chuah Soi Lek scandal and so many other MCA wrong doings, he was attempting to clean up the MCA image, but that was a little too dangerous for the MCA and so all hell broke loosethey made sure the fixed it and Ong was deposed.

Ong on the other hand does command a good following and if there is a split between these two he could  seriously mount another challenge on the MCA leadership although the better choice would be for him to leave racial politics and go to one of the established opposition parties,but he is not game for that he too is typically MCA and is watching how the game unfolds holding his cards clsoe to hsi chest, he is probably trying a Deng Xiaoping.

Tengku Adnan only very recently said that UMNO should "help" the BN Chinese parties. The word help has many connotations in this respect, help bring it even more firmly undr UMNO's grip so that they can use it to undermine Chinese interests and when they loose the elections blame MCA and the Chinese for that loss. UMNO seems to be losing its grip on this bunch of desperadoes, so before they fallout of line they have to be brought under control, less in the process of washing dirty linen they expose UMNO

Chuah Soi Lek on the other hand has no intention of relinquishing the Presidency, he wants it and like Mahathir is now grooming his son to be the successor, and to do that he is using the party's political organ the notorious daily that is the propaganda machine of the MCA to even now whack the government.

If you read the headlines in that daily, you'll be surprised because it was this daily that was spinning half truths about the opposition during the last elections and glorifying the BN as an efficient and trustworthy government, but  now its front page can even put Malaysiakini to shame read the edition of 2nd October.

Chuah is now tryign his level best to look like a Chinese champion and who in MCA would  not want to? Evey MCA leader left the MCA loaded, and yet we do not know how, the only thing we can suspect is Chuah has not had enough time to dwindle his finger in the pie and desperately wants the full  opportunity to do so.

He has done a 360 in that he is now agreeing to allow the MCA parliamentarians accept ministerial positions, in that respect we should wait and see what his son gets that is if  if he still remains  the head. The 360 according to the Liow camp was because he held on firmly to positions like that of Chairman of the PPC and other positions whilst taking others to task, now that that question has arisen and that he is keen to hold on to his positions is doing a 360.

Liow in the meantime is garnering a lot of grassroots support, it is no secret that Chuah's image after his famous VCD scandal and the way he unseated Ong Tee Keat had been drastically hurt with the majority of the Chinese in the country, he lost his credibility when as the President of the party he was not even given a seat to contest and found a lot of excuses for that desperately trying to pull wool over the eyes of the electorate and when he tried that with the Chinese it was enough, they had enough he was trying to  make them look like fools and they would not want any of it.

Liow was  the trumpeter at the last elections, he was blowing so loud he drowned all the voices against his boss the president, he was seen as a perfect deputy and all only because he was waiting  for the Presidency it was going to him, a sure ticket, he was almost the anointed successor but alas it was not meant to be so, and Chuah is now trying desperately to unseat him and his challenge and knowing the way the BN and its components work it may be just possible.

The question is will Chuah use the EGM to make MCA illegal, a typical BN trick created by Mahathir, then we'll have an "MCA Baru" and that will add another twist. Watch that as that is a possible move according to some MCA neutrals, as they claim that it now looks like the EGM will work against Chuah.

Taking a look at what MCA is offering its members, one wonders if the MCA membership is actually that daft. After having completely lost Chinese support as was witnessed during the last elections can the MCA members really go for what is nothing more than a Hobson's Choice, what choice is there between the two anyway?

However the membership just like the UMNO membership and the MIC membership will play  "follow the leader, " to rock the boat means you are out, everyone who opposes the leadership does so at his/her  own peril, the losers loose all, and the winner takes all, all sides in MCA will go for broke, that is the name of the game, and in these parties the leadership has the advantage so there is the inclination for those who even have no faith in the President to stand by him in the hope of being rewarded.

Anyone of the two succeeding, will only result in a weaker MCA the decline will only get stronger after the next Kung Fu fight, the winner will take all, and that all will not be as much as his predecessors have taken as MCA is now nothing but a toothless Tiger, aged,  beaten paw less completely fatigued just awaiting death which lingers on its corridors, and to compound that  the majority of the Chinese in this country are just fanning the flames to have this institution cremated even before it dies off completely spells nothing but doom.

Then again who is thinking of dying, even in the deathbed  the President and his deputy have begun engaging in a deadly Kung Fu Fight, where even the victor will eventually and in the not too distant future succumb to his wounds and die.

Tragic? "No!!!" shouts Chin Peng (not the late Chin Peng but a Malaysian professional), we'll cut Chicken and Burst crackers, we have been at it for some time now as we have been celebrating this timely and yet delayed process of the death of racial politics in this country.

It's our Merdeka day and I am back

Yes in 1957, it may sound like an old broken record, but I have to tell the story, I was there at the tender age of 8 in my Cub (what we call Junior Scouts today) uniform, in the wee hours of the morning, there meaning the Klang Padang, to attend the Merdeka Parade.

I remember Mr. Jolly Cho the District Commissioner of the Boy Scout movement was there, I remember that was the first time I met his sons, one my age and a Club, and the other older than me, they were from the ACS in Klang which at that time had two troops the 1st Klang, and the 5th Klang and I was from the 9th Klang coming from La Salle Klang.

I was there, I was prepared as scouts had always to be, and I came knowing how to sing the Negara Ku, I wonder if Najib knew it, and I really wonder if even that slimy character Mahathir Mohammed knew to sing at that time days before Merdeka, yes I knew the song before Merdeka day on the 31st of August 1957 and I am proud of that I knew it and I sang it then on the 31st of August 1957, and I saluted our flag when it was raised for the first time in Klang, it was a grand occasion.

Now today my blog carries another article written by my good friend Howl Pillay and I suggest you read it, it speaks about our attitude and the "Prince's Toilet,"  you may be wondering what I am talking about but you'll have to read it to understand it.

On this day the 31st of August 2013 I'd like to wish  all Malaysians a Selamat Hari Merdeka,  I'd like all of you to take some time to ponder and see if we still have our independence,  or if a group of bandits came in and actually stole the Merdeka of 1957 and 1963, we proclaimed on 31st August 1957, and 16th September 1963 when we became Malaysia from us and are now behaving worse than the colonialists of the past.

These bandits even stole UMNO, called it UMNO Baru and the founder of that party who now claims it is UMNO has been trying from the day he took office as Prime Minister to wipe out the legacy of our beloved Bapa Malaysia, Tengku Abdul Rahman to the the extent that he had even once suggested the building of a new parliament house, the tearing down of Merdeka Stadium, and during  his terms of office the Merdeka Football Tournament went forgotten. The Merdeka Tournament the brainchild of the late Tengku was  once the unofficial Asian Championships,  and during those times we were equals to South Korea, Japan were nobodies  in soccer and look at us today, that alone will tell you how he was bent on destroying that legacy of our independence and was and is even today setting the stage to have himself proclaimed as the "Bapa Malaysia" and the founder of UMNO, which  is because the UMNO we have today is not the UMNO of old it is the UMNO Baru formed by him after UMNO was declared illegal. it will least surprise anyone if he gts the country to declare him the founding father of Malaysia.

The nationalistic songs like "Gunakan Lah Bahasa kebangsaan kita" if you remember it go through the lyrics and you'll know why he took it out, because it did not sing of "mari lah mari orang UMNO Baru" but "Mari lah mari rakyat semua, " this man because of his hate campaigns agaisnt people of other races and his campaigns to get Malays to hate people of other races has been the architect of the creation of right wing groups like Perkasa an swe all know that.

Luckily for us we have the majority of Malays in this country who are not with him, who do not buy into his hate campaigns and that is why in the last elections for the first time in the history of this countrry the BN lost the popular vote, it was not  the Chinese who cause that it was Malaysians and a huge number of Malays too and we all knwo that , it was Malaysians who decided we had had enough and the UMNOputras .

Today the cinemas in the nation are being asked to film Tandas Putra, it has to be filmed because the son of the man who was the cause for May 13th is intent of removing   the blemishes on the name of his father.

In this effort he has the tacit backing of none other than Mahathir Mohammed, the man who was the architect of may 13th,  the man who incited racial hatred with the ultras of the time, the man who hated the Chinese and showed them that in 1969, the man who in 1969 was defeated in the elections by my friend Yousof Rawa.

Read my good friend Howl Pillay today and he will tell you where we are being led.

This Merdeka let us resolve to be united as one people, and not think of ourselves as Orang Asli, Dayak, Kadazan,  Indians Chinese or Malays etc  first but as Malaysians first and let us resovle to fight the evils of Mahathirsm and wipe it out of this nation once and for all.

MERDEKA!!!!!!







This Merdeka


 By Howl Pillay

I have never been more fearful than this Merdeka.
The nation celebrates its fifty-sixth birthday and a month ago I celebrated my fifty ninth.
Context: Born - 1954; Kewarganegaraan - Malaysia; Keturunan - India; Agama - Belum diIslamkan.
But to be fair, the authorities have never hauled me up for “Insulting Islam”. Why should I even think of doing it?
Yes, why should I, when legions of salafists, takfiris and the other ‘mightily misguided’ believers in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan insult the faith on a daily basis by inflicting unending violence against innocent fathers, mothers, children and infants. Even in the month of Ramadan, last month.
We should all be thankful we have kept our distance thus far from this unholy crowd for whom even their fellow believers are fair game. But Comrades, be ever vigilant! The road to Cairo, Mogadishu, Baghdad and Damascus passes through the school toilet of SK Pristina. One day they may make even a movie, “Tandas Pristina”.
And though fearful of developments closer to home, I know someone up there is looking out for me. I thank my lucky stars. And my prescience.
Ten years ago, taking heed of a management guru’s line of ‘differentiate or die’, I considered choosing the following email address: pillai04@gmail.com to incorporate the year of my birth.
But something held me back. It was a gut feeling I could not pin down. It did not seem to have the proper effect. Besides in the Cantonese “four” is associated with death. But I wasn’t one to give up easily. As I was born on the 17 July, I toyed with pillai0804@gmail.com. Eventually I chose another email address.  
And it was all for the better! Who knows I could have spent this Merdeka in a cold cell, bruised and black-eyed ala Saudara Anwar. What! you say incredulously. Why not? An Indian somehow associated with both the “04 Gang” and the “08 Gang” will surely be beaten up to within an inch of his life.
Yet others may say: “Don’t be ridiculous!”.

But believe me, these days you can never tell what the country or the cops are up to.

Bad weather may be good for inter religous activities and appreciation

In the Vatican the Muslims have a mosque the Church  allowed the Muslims to build a mosque there without asking them to reciprocate by offering us a Church in Mecca.

Now with all the fuss about the Buddhist in the Surau, I wonder if the Muslims who have made such a hue and cry about the whole issue, and the authorities who have said it woudl be torn down after the case has been closed are really aware of what they are doing.

Some years back in Klang in the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes the Parish Priest of the time offered the Church community hall to some Bangladeshis who could not find a place too pray, the Bangla's were all Muslims and they knew just like most people including most Muslims that is alright to pray almost anywhere respectful.

What is wring if the Buddhist prayed in the Surau of a hotel with the owners consent? What wrong did the owner a Muslim himself do?

Take a look at what happened in India, the article below tells us exactly what the Sikhs in India did for the Muslims, if Muslims can pray in a Church hall a Gurduwara, a Catholic house as one MS Ally used to do in my house when he used to visit my late father in the later fifties at our home which was adorned with Holy holy pictures all around, this pious Muslim man used to prostrate towards the direction of Mecca and dutifully pray if it was prayer time when he visited.

Now the present noise by some people mainly of course from the UMNO camp only goes to show that this UMNO led rhetoric has led many Muslims in this country to just about blindly make senseless accusations and I hope I am right because if I am wrong than I am sure most non Muslims in this country will be afraid of Islam, is this the aim?

From the Allah issue which is actually a non issue in every other Muslim Nation some Muslims have made an issue with God. It is sad indeed, and very sad. In Bangladesh, in Pakistan, in Indonesia Christians have been praying to Allah who is Almighty God. In Malaysia it has been done since the 16th century and now suddenly this reference to God as Allah which predates even Islam has become a copyright of some Muslims in Malaysia.

In bad weather, Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus make good friends

Subodh Varma, TNN Aug 22, 2012, 02.40PM IST
(Muslim residents of Joshimath…)
NEW DELHI: In a country where religious intolerance and communal hatred dominate the news nowadays, here is something that goes to show that all is not rotten and ugly.
Muslim residents of Joshimath in Uttarakhand offered Eid namaaz (prayers) on Monday in a gurdwara (Sikh temple), after being invited in by its head priest, according to the local media. There is no mosque or idgah in Joshimath, a town perched above the Alakhnanda deep in the Garhwal Himalayas. Usually its 800-odd Muslim residents offer namaaz at the town's Gandhi Maidan, a public ground.
, a public group.


On Monday, however, Gandhi maidan had turned into slush. It had been raining heavily for several days and Eid, the festival day too dawned in a downpour. The Muslim community was struggling with the problem when the head of the local gurdwara sent a heart warming message to them- The Muslims could use the main hall of the gurdwara for offering namaaz.
So, at 9:30am, the congregation of Muslims in bright new clothes trooped down to the gurdwara and offered the ritual prayers in the big hall. After the ceremony, they embraced the Sikh community members waiting outside the hall. Some Hindus from the town were present too and offered greetings to the other two communities.
Sardar Buta Singh, Prabandhak of the gurdwara, later told media persons that he had extended the invitation to the Muslims to help them in their crisis.
Maulvi Asif was quoted by media as saying that by solving their problem, the gurdwara committee had presented an example of humanity and respect towards all religions. He said that the Muslim community was thankful to the committee.
Joshimath is located about 250 kilometers from Rishikesh on National Highway 58. It is close to two important pilgrimage centers - Badrinath of the Hindus and Hemkunt Sahib of the Sikhs.
