Lame Duck? You Bet!

As Lame As It Gets!

While PM has agreed to an earlier 'power transition' after meetings with his deputy, his action has got huge approval from UMNO grassroots. No matter how hard he denies it, I see it as a gentle sacking from within his own party.... what a sad ending to the most powerful political figure in Malaysia.

Lame duck? YES! He was cornered by everybody; Anwar and PR from the outside while UMNO wanted him out ASAP. Shahrir has said 'lame duck' does not apply here.... hahaha still in denial in an attempt to save face for Pak Lah.

How else would the rakyat describe him? Retiring for the good of the country? That's the opposite! If Pak Lah wants to do the country good, he must stand up and fight! Reform pledges made him a popular figure thus a huge mandate when he lead BN to the best victory in history during the previous GE. When things not going smoothly; the recent GE result showed that the rakyat wants more to be done. He must carry on with his pledges; not just trying to manoeuvre a graceful exit. Is there anything such as a graceful exit in politics?

It was said that many of his reforms agenda were met with huge resistance from within. Zaid gave up and quits because he knew he was fighting a losing battle when his boss are not backing him up. When Muhyiddin wanted him to go citing grassroots sentiments, Pak Lah should act fast and not let the spark becomes fire. Look what happening now. He got cornered while Najib and Muhyiddin are the biggest winner. Indeed in this game Pak Lah loss big. The rakyat loss too!

So with UMNO now becomes a bigger bully, what is in store for the rest of us? Only time will tell.

God help us!

916 Came and Gone.....

Let's have a game!

So, the much touted date in our recent history has come .... and gone. Nothing has happened. Traffic is still busy as ever, hot like hell and still two opposing camps are waging a psycho war on each other. Great material to make a Hollywood Movie. Spike Lee, please get the rights!

While Pak Lah has called Anwar a bluff, still day dreaming about toppling his weak Government, Anwar has held a Press Con to announced that he has the numbers to form a new Government. As of now, it's just that. Just talk but nothing concrete to show. Is he lying and playing a wicked mind games on Pak Lah? He can't be so stupid to hold a PC and undermining himself if he got nothing to offer, right?

Yes, some might say 916 has gone, and Anwar is fast losing his credibility for empty talk and destabilising the country's political scenario. Well, to me 916 is not so much on the date itself. It's the meaning behind it. Only time can tell if 916 can really take off but sure this date has scared the hell out of BN. From the ridiculous 'study trip' to Taiwan to the sinister ISA crackdown on opposition members and a innocent reporter, BN is seen as desperately clinging to power. I want to see change in the mindset of the Ruling Party. Racist policies MUST go. Goons like Ahmad Ismail has tainted the BN image and challenged Pak Lah's authority for refusing to say sorry for his racial slurs. All these will make the rakyat regardless of race even more angry and wanted to see BN kicked out.

Is PR a better alternative? Anwar, Lim Kit Siang or others better than Pak Lah and Najib? I don't know. I really don't. What I know is that after 51 years of Independence, we seem to be even more divided. Yes, NEP has been drawn up to help the Malays. Well, if after 51 years and you still can't stand on your own, no NEP can help you! Furthermore, how many bumis actually benefited from these policies. Non-bumis felt side-lined. That's the reason we channelled our anger into votes during '308'.

So, it's now getting more interesting by the hour. PM refused to meet Anwar, so Anwar will have to make his next move. A very thrilling cat-and-mouse game indeed. Wits against wits. This is a chess game even Kasparov will be impressed. Spike Lee making a 'Chess game' movie, perhaps?

May the best man win!

Finally, A Man Stood Up!

Making a Stand

After being fed with so many bozos' shows, finally, we Malaysians were presented with a real man that stood by his principles; and he comes from UMNO! Senator Datuk Zaid Ibrahim; the de factor law minister has tendered his resignation to Pak Lah for his views on the ISA. He objected the use of ISA on civilians and frustrated with the reforms he was tasked to carry out. A noble and right thing to do. Entrusted by PM to reform the judiciary system, Datuk Zaid is known to be an out-spoken person.

He gave his views on the recent ISA crack down on Tan, RPK and Teresa and to show his disapproval, he walked the talk. What a man! Our country needs more men like him rather than 'Yesmen' or racists or Bozo the clown! And he's standing to his decision to quit even when the PM asked him to reconsider.

Even some MPs have voiced their concerns. Gerakan and MCA's big shots have made known of their disgust in the way the arrest were carried out. Even some are questioning the wisdom (or lack of it) of the Home Ministry when he gave his statements during the Press Conference on the crackdown. Not a clever excuse being used to detain Ms Tan.

ISA might still be needed but is there any justification to use it on normal civilians? Are they planning an armed struggle or insurgency? Communist members, perhaps? Maybe the Government itself is not very confident in its own set of laws in the country. Too drastic, too stupid! Panic perhaps, as the '916' draws closer?

Anyway, it's good to see a Minister made known his stand on the draconian act. I think he has lost confidence in the leadership, thus tendering his resignation letter seems to be the only way out of this mess. Maybe Bozo should follow Zaid's footstep and save the nation more embarrassment.


Maybe, hope is still there and I salute you, Datuk Zaid!

Funny Country!

Looks funny but deadly!

I live in a very funny country where ministers like to crack a joke or two just to get attention or made himself heard. Entertaining the world and turn us into the laughing stock of the world seems to be their utmost duties!

Last week saw 3 very high profile arrest in Bolehland. Big criminals that deserves big treatment from the Government. Their crime? Well, threat to national security.... RPK was arrested for his articles or writing that was deemed too dangerous to even read in the Internet. His MT site was blocked but then unblocked after much protest. Anyway, as the editor, RPK has to be punished!

Another to be hauled up was the reporter that has reported the 'Squattergate'. Well, the joke of the year as the Home Minister said that she was detained under the ISA because her life was threatened! Oh... how touching, the caring government putting you in jail to make sure you are safe!

Theresa Kok was the last to be detained for allegedly sending a petition to request for azan prayers to be toned down. Well even the mosque committee has denied that Theresa was involved but heck, the Government needs to flex its muscle! After all, they can use the ISA on anyone, anytime, anywhere! Well, not anyone. BN are immune to it.

With Anwar's threat to take over the Government by Sept 16, BN is now pushing the panic button. Never mind if '916' will or will not materialise, but BN are taking no chances. Show some muscle, show some intimidation. Shut you up or put you into a tax-payers' sponsored solidarity living/vacation in Kamunting.

Maybe the Home Minister needs to remain just that; stay at home. Write a few jokes and entertain us more.

God help us!

Racist turned Tortoise turned Hooligan

Face Changing Malaysian Style!

Anyone been to Sichuan must have seen one of the best art act in the world, the Face Changing. It's so precious, it's been said only male shall inherit this dying art. Well yesterday, millions of Malaysian TV viewer were served with another classic 'Face Changing' act, made in Malaysia style, courtesy of Ahmad Ismail.

By now, most of us should have known who this idiotic racist is. World famous for putting us in the map of the world with his unrepentant racist slur against the 'immigrant Chinese'. Well, he did his best to fire the appetite by changing from a racist to a tortoise and yesterday, the ultimate hooligan act, in front of a press conference! Talk about arrogant, stupidity, desperate to save his sorry ass and of course, his core act.... RACIST!

While still unrepentant and making a strong stand not to apologise, he has now shifted the blame on Gerakan, the press and the reporter! Thinking of suing...! Hahaha! He must be the joker of the year. Who is he to demand that Gerakan to be sacked from BN. He must remember, he's a small fry in the party. Undermining the PM authorities? You bet! He biting more than he could ever chew even though he got a really big mouth, I must say. Yet again, the press has misquoted him for referring to the history. Maybe he needs to do a medical check-up on his blood ancestry. See if he got family ties back in Timbuktu or Zimbabwe! Or a brain scan. Maybe not coz you can scan something you don't have!

The press conference has its high moment where his racist supporters tore up Dr. Koh's photo in front of the media! Class act I must say because he has managed to undermine BN so called power-sharing concept, respect for others and not to mention it's a ultimate insult to Gerakan and it's acting head! PM... where are you? You must do something quickly and be firm on this matter. Ahmad Ismail and the others UMNO leaders in Penang that supported his stand are racist to the core and will be the cancer in BN.

So now, Penang MCA and Gerakan have severed all ties with UMNO Penang. A very strong signal that they want something affirmative to be done quickly. Pulling out from BN is very real if things don't improve. If even now Ahmad decides to transform into a chicken and apologise, the damage has been done. BN will surely face an even bigger task to retain power come the next election if assholes like him are not removed!

Arif Shah still seems likeable?

Hahaha!

Tortoise Preaching History.

Tortoise to teach history?

Oh.... It was only a small understanding regarding the racist insult on the Chinese. It's the stupid press that twisted his words and used it against him. For that I don't think he should apologise.

Well, after so many days of disappearing into thin air that even the PM can't get him (he went to BangCock for sepak takraw la....) the tortoise finally resurfaced from nowhere. The dumb ass has reiterated that he will never apologise because saying sorry is for people who had done wrong. He did nothing wrong, so why should he apologise to Malaysians in general?

Now let's see.... his excuse for saying the Chinese are just 'pendatang' that does not deserve equal rights is based on history! Yes, you read it right! No word twisting here.... The ass reads! He studied history of the Chinese Immigrant, and based on facts, he called the Chinese 'pendatang'. I guess it applies to the Indian communities as well. He got his point....

So I guess people like Yap Ah Loy, Chan Sow Lin, Loke Yew, Chow Kit and Tun Tan Cheng Lock (plus many more great 'pendatang') are just labourers or descendants of coolies brought in by the Brits to Malaya. Great theory asshole! I think this donkey flopped history test. Chinese immigrants came to Malaya mostly during the 1840's where after the Opium War in China, tried to fled the country to find a better living. This coincides with the tin mining boom, thus more and more Chinese came over.

Why don't he called the Malays bastards? Many people knew that most Malays have mixed parentage? Malay + Jawa, Malay + Chinese, Malay + Indian, Malay + Bugis.... you get my drift. Oh, I'm sorry, he can't. Why? Because he can't offend the Malay but he can towards the Chinese since MCA and Gerakan were wiped out from Penang! Why must he jaga hati orang Cina?

So, I reckon when he retires from politic, he will be the best lecturer on Malayan History in the history of Malaysia.

Where's My Hero?

Be a tortoise....'hero'!

After weeks of intense pressure from 'friends and foes' alike, UMNO has finally admitted defeat and apologise for the 'squatters' remarks by Ahmad Ismail. Please note I omitted the title as I don't see this idiotic goon is fit to be called a Datuk.

This is the right gesture by UMNO to own up to the mistakes made by its member. As I said earlier, let this be a lesson to all; not to question others and claim supremacy of one race. I believe UMNO, or in fact all political parties should take a serious look at their members and make sure no one makes the same mistakes again.

Now we are waiting for the 'appropriate' action to be taken against him. But before that to take place, where the hell is this racist goon? Fled the country? Please, if you have balls to utter these words, be a man and own up to it! Don't hide under mama's skirt. Now, the whole Chinese community is waiting for his personal unconditional apology; that is if he dares to come out from his shell. I always thought he's the real 'hero'; gung-ho and fiery with his speech. But it turn out that he's the ultimate coward; a real 'zero', we Chinese called tortoise!

Anyway, I don't care if he apologise or not; for me he's already done enough stupid things to render him useless in my eyes. He can sulk and said the press misquoted him for all I care. He's my tortoise, a tortoise that will never win any race and he'll carry this name for the rest of his life.

大乌龟！

An Apology... finally!

A bitter pill to swallow....

Finally, after much pressure, UMNO through the DPM has issued an public apology for the racist remarks made by the Bukit Bendera UMNO division head during the PP by-election. Though it is a bit too late, at least it is a good sign that UMNO has finally accepted responsibility for the mistake made by its member. This serves as a big embarrassment for Pak Lah's Government.

"We hope that the non-Malays will not be too disturbed with the statement and we apologise if it has incurred the sensitivities or unhappiness over the statement".

"We apologise, Umno apologises although it is not our statement but it is a statement made by one of our division leaders. It is totally unwarranted and does not reflect the position and the attitude of Umno or the leadership of Umno. We regret it very much," Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also Umno deputy president, was quoted.

This serves a lesson to all that Malaysians are Malaysians and ALL have contributed to this country. Those in power must remember that it is the rakyat that put them where they are; not the other way round.

Now, I'm waiting for the appropriate action to be taken against this racist goon as promised by the DPM. ISA or Sedition Act, maybe? Better be good.....

The rakyat is waiting!

Squattergate!

What's your colour?

Much has happened since the fateful day when Anwar trounced BN in the Permatang Pauh by-election. He has since be sworn in into Parliament and been nominated to be the Opposition Leader. PP folks will continue with their daily lives......

So what about this goon known as Datuk Ahmad Ismail? He's still a Datuk, still an assemblyman for Bukit Bendera and he still see no action taken against him for his 'squatter' remarks on the Chinese community.

A lot of people are angry with his remarks; and that includes BN component party members. The MCA has been very vocal and the Gerakan too has voiced its displeasure. In today's papers, Ong Tee Keat was quoted as saying “Each component party should have an internal mechanism to take disciplinary action against any party member who makes racist remarks.” Fellow member, Fong Chan Onn was quoted saying,"The matter of citizenship for non-Malays should not be questioned, just as some religious issues should not be called into dispute. An apology from Ahmad is not enough. A sedition charge should be considered against him,”

All these strong words reflects the sentiments of Malaysians generally the Chinese towards Ahmad's idiotic remarks. Don't forget, Anwar won by a bigger margin even though the voters turnout was lower. It shows even the Malays are rejecting these racial discrimination stance by UMNO leaders.

What's more disappointing for me is that Pak Lah chose to 'protect' his goon. It shows the leadership (DPM included) is weak and not serious in fostering inter-race relationship. As party whip, the DPM is a wimp!

Tan Sri Annuar Musa is even more stupid with his comment that those remarks were made on his personal capacity. He even compared the racial remarks with Gerakan threat to pull out from BN. Any relationship with that? Gerakan's threat may have hurt BN or disrupt party's harmony but that's your internal problem. It has nothing to do with the others. How about your talk with PAS? He's just so shallow, justifying the remarks....... Congrats for having these people as our elected reps!

Until an appropriate action is taken, I doubt many people will still have any confidence in the present Government.

A goodie budget or no, we want justice not sweets!
