Special Debate: Ahmad Shabery Cheek vs Anwar Ibrahim

Update 2: Noktah Hitam posted the videos of the debate on his blog. Please check it out. I post part 1 of 5 as a teaser for everyone Check out these bloggers for their comments on the debate: chanlilian.net,  KNizam, RockyBru and more blogs here.

ps: I just realised I spelled his name wrongly.. it should be Cheek instead of Chik, so amended the boo boo. Uh, there’s really a name ‘Cheek’ after all. Very cheeky..

Update 1: Astro Awani is carrying out the analysis on the debate. Very interesting. As usual they called up some ministers from both sides - Pakatan Rakyat and BN to get their comments on the debate. BN ministers never fail to amuse me, it is damn obvious the Information Minister has nothing, zilch facts when debating but still arrogantly said ‘Anwar Ibrahim has no facts, only rethorics’. Ha! Ha! Ha! You be the judge, please watch the debate video when it is out in the internet. I believe a video with complete subtitle will be out soon. Stay tune for that

My lousy 2 cents on Shabery Cheek vs Anwar Ibrahim debate on Fuel Price just now. (9pm - 10pm Astro Awani and TV9 - Hari Ini Bentuk Kerajaan, Esok Turun Harga Minyak - Today Form Government, Tomorrow Reduce Fuel Price)

Shabery Cheek obviously a lousy debater. He was often beating around the bushes and not to the points or questions raised. He was too emotional in making his points and focused too much on attacking Anwar Ibrahim’s past rather than debunking the points raised by him.

1. When talking about why Anwar insists to pursue his ambition to be the Prime Minister of Malaysia in order to reduce the fuel price and why can’t it be done with him outside the government.

Anwar chuckled and said that was why he was there for the debate and  added that he is currently not in the govennment and his future is still uncertain but he felt compelled to make his points in this debate. Anwar openly said he and Pakatan Rakyat has no problem if the current government take into consideration his idea and implements it for the good of the people, and Pakatan Rakyat will support the good move and work with the government. The only question is whether the current government is willing to work with this idea? Will BN/UMNO listen and carry it out.

Shabery Cheek, while he supposed to answer that question (we would think an honest and good government that put the people’s interest will surely consider any good idea that will benefit the people), instead attacked Anwar - relating his past with Tun Razak and Mahathir and went on his ’syok sendiri’ (self ego masturbation) mode on how Petronas under BN/UMNO rule is the best, how people can never deny that it is BN that efficiently manages the petroleum company. Typical BN/UMNO ’syok sendiri’ and out of reality talk. How ridiculous!

2. Anwar explained in simple term how savings can be done from revising the lop sided agreements between the government/TNB and Independent Power Providers (IPPs), savings from corruption and wastages, then lastly using some profits from the increased revenue of Petronas to help reduce the burden of the people.  His point is actually very simple - we need a good, wise and prudent management of government resources and efficient econonomy planning. He was entirely right when he focused his point on poor management of the country resources and wastages and trained his gun on the real cause of this whole issue - the government! The main issue is accountability and transparency of the government! Not Petronas, unlike the clueless Information Minister keep harping on!

But Shabery Cheek keep harping on why we should not use Petronas money to reduce the fuel price, comparing Venezuela, Iran and Saudi Arabia low fuel price but high inflation rate!! The guy just totally disillusioned and like I said was in his own ’syok sendiri’ mode. To the point bro, Anwar already made a concrete stand when he said he supports Petronas and will not irresponsibly use Petronas as cash cow to solve the problem. As usual, Shabery just continued the often repeated, recycled points used by the government to justify the fuel price increase - it is a global issue, it is global issue, it is a global issue and it is a global issue. Yes that is all his points. Oh he had more points, mostly points on Anwar’s past, keep digging the dirts. Typical BN style, always resort to personal attacks when you are out of ideas. Any BN guys that can debate rationally?? Please?? Or their supporters???

3. Nordin Kardi, being a Vice Chancellor of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) just made a fool of himself when he questioned Anwar’s points on IPPs agreement revision when the topic was on fuel. Then he mentioned something on why Anwar chose to talk on fuel price, saying he was fishing for popularity. Hey you dumbass maggot, IPPs are subsidized by the government to produce electricity lah!!! They get subsidized diesel to produce electricity and sell it at high price to TNB as agreed in the lop sided agreements signed during Mahathir time. Then this is a debate on fuel price, hence we talked about the price lah!!!  Bodoh!! Dungu! Otak kat lutut ke?? Entah macam mana ko boleh jadi Naib Chanselor UUM. Muahahahahahahahaha!

4. It is quite obvious who is the better debater, one that consistently making personal attacks and dishing out many often irrelevant, confusing and meaningless points and another one that kept his cool and explained in clear flow his proposal and future planning if he is given the chance to efficiently manage the country and subsequently reduce the fuel price. Shabery started his debate with personal attacks against Anwar where he brought up the incident when Anwar was still a student leader leading demo against Tun Razak in 1974, in the middle of the debate again brought up the incident, mentioned something about IMF and dragged Anwar’s name in it and lastly concluded his debate again with personal attacks on Anwar Ibrahim and sempat this fella said the government was being generous in allowing the debate. Bah! What a sore loser???

All said, I must commend BN government under Pak Lah for allowing this debate to be carried out. Under the rule of Mahathir this debate is almost impossible to realised. It is a start. We must have an open policy on politics, let the people make their noise heard and decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong, what is true and what is false. Our political landscape is changing and it is for better, I hope.

ps: I was distracted and quite disturbed by the foaming mouth of Shabery Cheek. For a while I thought he would passed out, foaming fatally because he probably realised he was making no sense in any of his points. So distracting.

R.A.N.D.O.M

Hello world…

I am back to the virtual world Missing out a lot of actions. I bet Suituapui has plenty of posts since last week for me to read.. since he’s bugging me everyday to online/post up something. 1st sms I received when I came back from Kuala Terengganu was from Suituapui - ‘Why no post? Cibol very active now, he got a internet connection already.’ ROFTLMAO… Then Man-D sms-ed me with her new mobile number asking about my ‘holiday’ haha! ‘What’s with the king size bed?’ Thanks for all the smses

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was away for a work trip to Hulu Terengganu. Need not to say, no internet connection and even my Digi line hardly make itself available there. Crap, what ‘WIDEST Coverage’ ‘Always with you’ ‘Always the smartest choice’ lah… I feel dumb the whole week Oklah, in their advertisement they put (Almost). I still can send and receive sms, but cannot send or receive mms or make and receive call.

I took some photos and videos while I was there. I stayed at Lake Kenyir Resort & Spa. Yes I sent the mms to Suituapui, my room with a king size bed. Dirty old man, I was showing off how comfortable and big the bed I had for myself lah! Not suggesting anything, especially to Suituapui! NOooo!! Never!!!! Some of the random photos I took on the trip:

View from the main lobby of the resort I stayed during the trip

Kenyir Lake, well small part of it. The whole lake is bigger than Singapore. Yes, Malaysia and its inferiority complex. Must mention we have bigger, longer, taller things here.

More of it..

Beautiful..

Here is one video I took using my mobile while cruising the lake. (Ehem, I did that after finished my work, okay!)

This the the Saok waterfall. I did not get the chance to perform ’skinny dipping’ there, it was late in the evening and I did not want to scare the animals that might be peeping.

This video was taken on our way to the project site using the logging track. Ignore the eerie laugh, and sorry for making you turning your head in such an angle to view the video properly. Hahahahaha!

Lousy video quality, videos taken using camera still with my friends. (Can try viewing the videos in original size, slightly better and clearer video. Go Menu> Original Size )

I am quite busy right now. I have to arrange few things. I am relocating to Sarawak next week. Yes, you hear that right. I am leaving Klang Valley. No Zewt and NoktahHitam, me not in Sarawak right now. (They told me before they thought I was in Sarawak all this while , not in Klang Valley.) Company will send me there for a project, probably for few months or up to a year.

After that, I will back back to Klang Valley!

Guess many things I cannot enjoy after I leave here. Such as this:

Kung Fu Panda Premiere Screening free tickets Memang, gua memang *LC!

*LC - Lan si - Lan si is often used to describe a snobbish person, a show off. Ehem, lan = penis, si = shit. Literally = shitty penis?? Lan si refers to that layer of filth under the fore skin of a penis. Hence, shit and penis respectively. Example of usage:

1. That person damn lan si.

2. You haven’t cleaned under your fore skin, there’s a lot of lan si and it stinks. Moral of the story, clean it or get yourself circumcised.

Sorry, sidetrack a bit there. Back to Sarawak, no more premiere screenings. Cannot LC anymore. Need to watch cheapo dvds on the market after this

I have few things to say to some good friends. Some of them I yet to meet them in person but we definitely have a good ‘chemistry’ in the virtual world. (Uh, that sounds pretty gay yeah?) I made a lot of friends especially into the year 2008.

NoktahHitam, Zewt: Guess I cannot make it to have teh tarik with you guys before I leave. Zewt, have a great days ahead in Down Under. Keep the great entries coming yeah! NoktahHitam, keep on EMO-ing hahaha! EMO itu penting!

Angeles, no chance meeting you as well. Ehem, still can poke poke in Facebook and goofing around in this blog, right? Kopi Soh, if you are reading this, we keep contact through Facebook okay?

Man-D, Melbie, Lola, Mar - I will definitely see you guys at Rainforest World Music Festival this July! Looking forward to meeting you pretty Sabahan ladies!

There are some that I met through Deny BN a 2/3 Majority group in Facebook and then we become very good friends. I regularly meet up with some of them for coffee/beer and crapping away. Some I never meet with, but we are already friends I know some of them reading this blog (I RSS it to my Notes application in Facebook as well). It is great meeting you guys, definitely more chances to meet up in future, please keep me updated and I shall make a special appearance just for that.

So to Jason, Casey, Durvan, Brian ,Antonia, Azira, Edward, Dofu, Marise, Joanne, Terence, Ajim, Khairul, Ibac, Padma, Marise, Joethi, Medaline, Caleb, Sandra, Shazeea and friends, I will miss you guys. Guess I will be away from Facebook for short period, please behave.

I am quite sad leaving all my good friends here, some of them you already know. Mary, good luck in your new job. Be happy in everything that you do I will come back for the delicious Hokkien Mee. Cibol, go screw yourself and keep the super EMO posts coming. Nyahahahaha! Dude, spare me a place when I am in KL next time. Me have no place to stay no more. See you at RWMF! Psstt.. when are you getting your tattoo? I cannot join you for the inking session if you plan to do it in KL then.

Anyway, rest assured that I will continue writing my craps Till then, take care and tata~!! Lastly, a song for all my great friends Adios! *hides away in a cave*

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I’m letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die, no!

You’ll always be a part of me
I’m a part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me

Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my… my baby

I ain’t gonna cry no
And I won’t beg you to stay
If you’re determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you’ll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no

You’ll always be a part of me (oooohhhh)
I’m part of you indefinitely (oooohhhh)
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me (ooooohhhhhh)
Ooh darlin cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on (and we will linger on)
Time cant erase a feeling this strong (ohhhh)
No way you’re never gonna shake me (oh baby)
Ooh darlin cause you’ll always be my baby

know that you’ll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oooohhh
I know that, you’ll be right back, babe

Ooooh! baby believe me it’s only a matter of time
You’ll always be apart of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me

Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my my baby….

You’ll always be apart of me (you will always be)
I’m part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on (we will linger on….)
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby

ps: It doesn’t sound like some kind of last speech, farewell by someone going to a Neverland and never come back no? I hope not

pss: Hiatus again for how long I yet to be sure. Hop over to Cibol’s as his blog is up and running as he gets is powderful canggih wireless broadband connection already Or Suituapui because he religiously updating his blog everyday Or NoktahHitam for his wicked mind. Do not forget Zewt for his Zewtpinions..
