Kudos MCA!

Dr Wee looked concerned and he better be.....

Thank you MCA, long seen by the opposition as the small brother that dare not talk back to his taiko by raising its voice on the racist remarks by one of UMNOputras goon!

Ever since Dr Wee voiced out his dissatisfaction over the remarks during the Permatang Pauh by-election, the sentiment has now turn into a very vocal protest by the MCA; particularly the Youth Wing. What a stand! What a brave move, and for this I salute you!

UMNOputras must wake up from their deep slumber. Isn't 308 enough a lesson already? Why must those kind of hurtful remarks must be made? To win over Malay votes? That's too shallow and only idiots will think along those racial lines! (I bet there are a few more in BN). Anwar won many votes mainly because voters are generally fed-up with BN antics. Body blows, sodomy, religion, race and what not are their only ways to get votes rather than concentrating in telling the rakyat that we are gearing for a change for the better. Sudah basi la.... will and never work!

So, the MCA has organised a signature campaign to demand that this bugger offer an apology for branding the Chinese as mere 'tumpang-tumpang' only. As if the Chinese has contributed nothing to this wonderful country. We hold the same IC as you do, asshole! Even Gerakan has taruk UMNO for this issue! UMNO will now have to face the MCA and the Chinese in general and convince us that they are not racists.

Either they change or they will be changed in the near future.

Liverpool's through!

Hero for the night

Yahoo! We are through to the group phase yet again! The owners must have been very relief to see Kuyt send us through with a goal after another laboured effort against Standard Leige.

Well, Rafa can count Dirk Kuyt as his lucky European charm for his latest exploit. Known to be a exceptionally good marksman when playing in the Dutch League, Kuyt have somehow failed to live up to our standard. However, he made up for his lack of goals with loads of untiring runnings. This morning's goal is just a sweet reward for our workhorse!

So, another assault on the European stage is on the card. What worries me is the laboured performance to produce goals against well organised teams. Sunderland, Boro and now Leige has proven to be tough cookies for us. Luckily, the lads kept on pushing til the last minute.

What spoilt the night for us is the loss of captain Gerrard to a groin injury. He hasn't been 100% and needs to be operated on ASAP. Might miss our blockbuster game against ManU.

Just hope he'll be back soon and back with a bang. As for now, let us all savour another European win.

You'll Never Walk Alone!

Liverpool vs Leige

YNWA!

Well, tonight will be one of the biggest home game since the season begins. A must win match against Belgian champion; Standard Leige.

Rafa's team has been winning 2 league matches on the trot but their performance have come under heavy fire. Scrappy at best against teams (including Standard) they are supposed to steamrolled over. Last weekend home match against Boro is a good example. We gave away possession too many times too easily and our set pieces are crap! Even Xabi had a nighmare game. Only intervention from the vice captain and the captain ensured a dramatic last minute come from behind win. Frankly speaking, Boro deserved at least a point!

Such were our poor show, the only positive that we can take is that the mentality to win has improved. Never say die attitude and make your own luck. Rafa has gave assurance that tonight the team will play much better and deliver! A scored draw will mean end of the road for us.

With basically a full team to pick on and playing at Anfield, I'm sure we'll progress to the group phase. Going past this hurdle will bag us 16million pounds! So much riding on it but with our European pedigree, I'm 100% sure we'll make it!


You'll Never Walk Alone!

Some Will Never Learn!

Say No to Rasicm

It was reported that the MCA Youth will demand an apology from Datuk Ahmad Ismail over his racist remarks during the Permatang Pauh campaign rally.

Racist like him will drift BN more and more away from the rakyat. Playing up race or Malay sentiments to garner votes are so out of fashion. The result yesterday shows and result don't lie. Anwar are getting votes from Malaysians! So, we don't buy that kind of bullshits! Some nut heads will never learn..... They'll hurt the party even more with their antics.

Don't they ever see it? Are they so so blind to the obvious? The people are rejecting BN time and again whenever the race card is used! Uttering racist remarks will only make more people irrespective of race to feel offended! Divide and rule tactic is dead and buried, my friend.

It'll be now interesting to see how the Youth Wings from both camps react. Having just lost an important by-election, now they must sit down and talk. Failing which might see even more Chinese getting upset.

On another note, fresh calls for Pak Lah to quit has resurfaced. Personally, I think PM should stay. If there's anyone is to be blame, then Najib got to take the stick. After all, he's the head honcho for the BN machinery. Wrong and bad moves to attack Anwar relentlessly. Should have focused on the policies......

Now the BN Government will need to keep an eye on Anwar. He'll be sworn in soon and will take his rightful place in the Parliament. Juicy stuffs!

Trust me, the show has just begun!

Rakyat has spoken!

Anwar has announced his arrival!

THE RAKYAT HAS SPOKEN! ANWAR IBRAHIM HAS ARRIVED!

Victory was especially sweet for Anwar Ibrahim as he makes his extraordinary comeback into Parliament with a huge win over Arif Shah and an unknown Hanafi Hamat.

While he savours his victory, Arif can walk with his head held high. It was a big ask for him to get anything out of this by-election at the 1st place. After all, Permatang Pauh is Anwar's fortress. He ALWAYS win there; including his wife. So, it was an uphill battle from the start and he knew it. Kudos to him for being brave and gave a good fight eventhough his votes count has dropped; maybe indicating the rakyat wants change.

As for Hanafi, as expected he lost his deposit. Standing for this election is always a lost cause, and why he did it, the reason only known to him. No one gave him a chance.

I've always expected Anwar to win but not the margin of his victory. I thought that his majority will be lower than the 13k obtained by his wife due to a few factor; polling date, sodomy cases, labelling him as a Chinese agent by BN and big guns form BN going all out to woo voters. So, it was a real surprise to see his majority exceed 15k. BN needs to do some hard thinking and post mortem on why the rakyat rejects them. Maybe race-based politics is dying. A two major party system ala the Democrate and Republican in the US might just work.

So, the real battle for Anwar starts now. He'll make his grand entry into our politics. Let's all hope there will be change for the better for all Malaysians!

Do or die for Anwar Ibrahim

Will he win?

Permatang Pauh is all set for the final showdown in what is belived to be the biggest by-election Malaysia has ever witnessed! It's a do or die for Anwar Ibrahim, the de factor leader of PKR and the 'glue' of PR.

His chance of winning seems bright even though he's agains the might of the BN election machinery. For 10 nights, big guns on both sides held ceramah and talks and tried to discredit their opponent. This has to be the dirtiest election in history.

While Najib leads the line for Arif Shah, Anwar can call on the support from DAP and PAS. Surveys carried out by Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research has shown not many of the voters are concerned or believed in the sodomy case against Anwar; something that will bug him even if he wins.

I personnaly hope that Anwar will win. I'm not concerned about the margin, just give him a chance to enter Parliament. That will make our Parliament more 'colourful'! As for the formation of a new Government, I'm not too sure. I hope it can happen, but not now.

Maybe we all need a paradigm shift, maybe Malaysia needs a shift. After 50 years of Merdeka, maybe that's a good thing for all Malaysians. Race based policies needs to be reviewed to give all a chance.

As for now, things will have a clearer picture after 5pm. By tonight we will know.

Good luck to all involved, good luck Malaysia!

Final Countdown!

Will he be all smiles after tomorrow?

That's it folks! Come tomorrow, 26th August 2008, we will see one of the most watched and anticipated by-election in Malaysia's colourful history.


Will Anwar Ibrahim be voted into Parliament or his challenger Arif Shah create history for BN for defeating the PKR de factor leader? Time will tell, the Permatang Pauh's voters will definitely tell!


Both camps have expressed confidence with both claiming having good support from the rakyat. Arif even went on to say he'll will with a min 500 voters, maybe even touching 5,ooo! Big words indeed.


This by election must have been the most watched and eagerly awaited. Not just an ordinary by-election but one that may have a far more bigger implication on the Malaysian society as a whole. Anwar made no secret of his desire to return to Parliament and form a new Government; a date given on 16th Sept 2008. While to do that, first, he must win in PP.


Whether a new Government can be formed on that day is still very much a doubt but certainly not impossible. This by-election has seen much accusation being hurled by both camps, some just wild allegation, some are personal attacks, some facts..... some half truths......makes great readings. However, I'm getting tired of this, frankly. I just wanted it to be over without much problem.


Penang has announced a public holiday for this important vote-casting day. DPM has criticized it; but the EC cocked it up first. Why 26th of August? Conspiracy theory? Well, that's another issue. Why not on the just concluded school holiday? Even the Education DG has announced that schools to be closed.......


So, let's all be civil, cast your votes properly. Show the world that Malaysian Democracy is free and fair.


May the best man wins!
