Barisan National organises a dinner at Kampung Sepetang, a chinese fishing village, to attract the Chinese votes.

They came in droves for the dinner bash last night and the crowd of about 1,500, made up of mostly fishermen, were definitely hooked.

(Source: Malaysiakini)

Pay attention to what Zahid Hamidi said when asked to comment about the song and dancers.

“….kita harus menghormati kerana ini adalah sebahagian daripada budaya Cina.” (.. we should respect this because it’s part of Chinese culture)

“Saya tahu.. saya tahu. “ (I know.. I know)

This guy obviously is one clueless dork.

Since when sexy dancers gyrating to an English song is ‘part of the Chinese culture’? Damn, I feel insulted.

ps: Don’t think with your dick, people of Kampung Sepetang.

pss: Ugh.. sexy moves anyway. Reminds me of performers at CB here in Miri. Not that CB. Cherries Berries lah! I always think the synchronised dancing by these bands err.. kinda funny. LOL!

psss: CB Zahid Hamidi! Cheebuy. Budaya Cina kepala hotak kau! Budaya Umno lebih sesuai.

pssss: Black Eyed Peas song also can be used for campaigning. Gutter politics. Shit.

It is final. No dissolution of DUN and BN is most likely to be the new boss in Perak. Politics is dirty and Umno just showed how despicable and dirty it is. People are worrying about the ailing economy and these maggots are celebrating their victory.

It is good that it happened as it is a blessing in disguise. Let’s put few things into perspective.

1) Victory?? Umno/BN must be really dumb to think it is the victor in this latest political drama. PR won big in PRU12, won Permatang Pauh and Kuala Terengganu – all this with huge public support but BN ‘wins’ back Perak and risk losing any remote remaining support from the rakyat for the dirty and ugly tactics – threats and bribes. A Malay saying ‘ayam menang (or menang sorak), kampung tergadai‘ is apt to describe this ‘winning’.

Tengku Razaleigh in his blog put it into perspective how BN will suffer the backlash and contempt if no fresh election is called.

“Angry voters nationwide will reject the BN even more vehemently in the next general election if snap polls are not held in Perak.”

Even Mahathir Mohamad said Umno would only tarnish its image by accepting the defectors.

“We are alienating further the very people we should be trying to win back in the next election,”

Umno lose any remaining speck of credibility (if it has any in the first place) from now on. February 5th will forever be remembered as the dirtiest political gangbang in Malaysia. Yes, Umno wrestled Perak from Pakatan Rakyat, but they will lose everything from now on to talk about intergrity, corruption and reform, because nobody will give a flying fuck about their promises. By not seeking a new vote the BN is irreparably damaging any little chance it had to recoup the March 8 losses.

BN had ultimately sealed its demise. Thanks to half past six, brain damaged BN strategists who panned this out, BN has no redeeming value anymore.

2) Despite overwhelming public sentiments urging for another fresh election, Sultan of Perak – Sultan Azlan Shah instead of respecting the rakyat’s decision calling for the dissolution of the state assembly, he gave his blessing to BN to take over as the new government of Perak. Thousands of comment at the visitor’s book at His Majesty’s website urging for the Ruler dissolve the state assembly and call for a fresh election but greeted with betrayal.

On PRU12 DUN Perak, PR garnered 442,660 votes and BN 399,565 votes (based on popular votes). Thats 43,095 more votes than BN. Denied a new election is so not fair!

3) Yes, it is true that it was Anwar Ibrahim that made ‘defection’ a national famous word. It was the PR oppostion led by him that started all this talks about ‘frogging’ affair. But PR had packaged it in the language of change and that had rung a bell in the hearts of many Malaysians.

On the other hand the BN as the incumbent ruling party is mired in the “old, bad, nasty” ways and for it to engineer defections to overturn a freely elected government is seen by the people as repugnant and despicable.

Right or wrong, logical or not, this is the public perception and perception is the be all and end all — the final arbitrator of a public dispute.

4) Betrayal. To illustrate just how much the public sentiment had changed on March 9 and how angrty and pissed off the public would be at the betrayal of their mandate, we should just look at the winning majority of one of the frogs – Jelapang representative Hee Yit Foong.

In 2004 she won by about a 300 vote majority but in 2008 the majority shot up to over 12,000 – a huge shift in public sentiment.

BN must prepare for the consequences for stealing the state government. The BN is clearly going against the public tide because the voters who gave her such a huge majority are still out there and ready and willing to punish her and the BN for betraying their trust.

It is not surprising to read about people pelting stones at Hee Yit Foong’s house for her betrayal. 12, 000 majority. If each person take a piss at her house compound, her house would sink into the ground! I wonder how she is going to drive around in Jelapang in her new Toyota Camry. Gong Xi Gong Xi Hee Yit Foong!

The individuals who have crossed over and those ready to cross over in the weeks ahead are marked people — marked for derision, contempt and public scorn.

They will not be able to even walk freely in their constituency let alone work and perform their duties by their constituents. In life, we usually treat the unprincipled and dishonest people shabbily and with utter disgust. That is how we should treat these rats.

5) Pakatan Rakyat should be grateful to get rid of these low lifes. This latest affair provided the opportunity for PR to purge these rotten souls back to where they should belong, together with other despicable, scheming characters. Only honest and principled politicians should be in Pakatan Rakyat. (How ironic, since I wrote about political integrity = oxymoron)

All said and done, let’s put this behind us and look forward for better days ahead. *nervous laugh*

ps: Fret not my comrades. We shall win the battle for this is just a Pyrrhic victory by BN - A victory that is offset by staggering losses. The latest revision of this term is ‘Bush victory‘ and in future in Malaysia, we will remember it as ‘Najib victory’. These are the Kings of the Detrimental Victory!

I already foresee an entry in Kamus Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka:

Kemenangan Najib – perumpamaan yang membawa erti kemenangan sia-sia yang akhirnya membawa kemusnahan.

pss: A royal screw that’s what we all got. Very royal and very screwed.

Does S’wak’s future lie with Malaysia?

by Dr John Brian Anthony | Jul 3, 08 4:10pm Malaysiakini

Looking at the physical development of Sarawak, it lacks so many things even the most basic needs – roads, water, electricity, education and health. Why are we still so dependent on river transport? Why are Sarawak trunk roads in such poor condition and lack proper facilities for drivers?

Why is clean drinking water so difficult to get and there is still no electricity for dwelling places that are located in some urban areas and most sub-urban areas. Where is the money from our timber? Has it gone into the pockets of elite businessmen and corrupted politicians and civil service officers?

A timber tug boat operator now owns one of the largest timber companies and has hundreds and thousands of acres of plantation land – how can that be? It can be when the chief politician makes it so. In the process, the people of Sarawak are deprived of their wealth generated from the valuable tropical trees that the natives have held so dear to their heart.

The jungle is the major provider of their needs. For the rich man, he sent in gangsters to his estates to subdue any Dayak from making complaints and demanding for a better living standard. The Dayak got the wrong end of the stick in all cases.

Money from oil? Many are asking what has happened to the money we get from the oil royalty? We are now suffering from an oil price hike so when did we enjoy the money from our oil then? The price of gas cylinders for cooking is reaching $180 per tank in rural Sarawak. The natives cannot understand such products that are produced in Bintulu – from Sarawak’s gas field – are priced that high.

The West Malaysians are paying much less and they are the ones that have no gas when we take the Terengganu equation out.

Why are we not seeing good schools and good health care for Sarawak’s rural folks? The ‘Flying Doctor’ service is still too limited while billions worth of hospitals are built in West Malaysia – not one but many. In Sarawak, the Sarawak General Hospital was built maybe four decades ago. Do we have a new one – the answer is ‘no’.

We do have new expensive private hospitals though the poor rural folks have no chance of using them as they don’t have the money.

Money from hydro-dams? The Batang Ai hydro dam has forced the relocation of people living in the area. There is no land to expand their farming activity and the Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (Salcra) provides only minimum wages for their work in the plantations and a low return for their shares in Salcra. The government has shortchanged the people.

The same government headed by the same person after 30 plus years is ignoring the plight of the poor people in Lubuk Antu. You just need to go to Lubuk Antu – what major economic activities have been implemented there? The answer is none as the government’s idea of helping the poor is by not training them to have skills and knowledge to better themselves.

Some Dayak leaders are there to ensure that the Dayaks do not progress and are therefor easier to control for political gain.

Is electricity made available to the longhouses and villages in nearby areas? The answer is ‘no’.

The Bakun dam is near completion. Is it going to benefit Sarawak poor – the answer is ‘no’. It will feed the richer West Malaysian states and provide power to their industries.

Why don’t they relocate their industries to Sarawak? Because it is too expensive and Sarawak lacks basic infrastructure, it lacks skilled workers, it has limited port facilities, a poor transport system, it lacks towns that can provide comforts for the employees, etc.

This goes to show that the rich grab the poor man’s resources but are not paying for such resources in the correct manner. Otherwise why are the poor getting poorer? Why should we still stay with Malaysia?

Money from palm oil? Where is the money earned from plantations? We all know that the biggest plantation companies are from West Malaysia and Umno-linked companies. Just go to their offices and the senior management teams and managers are West Malaysians. The field supervisors and labourers are local Sarawakians – we can’t help but feel ‘colonised’ and made second-class citizen of Malaysia.

Our prime land is taken to feed West Malaysians. We feel very disappointed and hurt by this attitude. It is time for Sarawakians to think about leaving Malaysia. Leaving Malaysia – why?

Sarawak has not received what is due to them.

Sarawak has been sidelined and ignored – no senior positions in the federal civil service, no senior members in the police and army, no important positions in the cabinet. The Sarawak bumiputera is a ‘fourth class’ citizen, behind the major races in West Malaysia.

We didn’t join Malaysia to only learn to speak Bahasa Malaysia and have Islam as our official religion. We did not join Malaysia to champion ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ and be made used of by Umno elitists to further strengthen their grip on political power and wealth.

We want justice, we want equality, we want respect and we want dignity in our lives. We do not need to bow, kneel and plead for what is rightly ours. We want our own money to develop ourselves and be able to live a better life.

From this frustration with the BN government under Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, we are even thinking of leaving Malaysia. It has brought us untold misery and frustration with its poor leadership and poor planning accorded to Sarawak.

Furthermore, why has the federal government not approved the Dayak community’s wish to form their own political party known as the Malaysian Dayak Congress? They should ensure that the races are represented by political organisations of their choice.

We want to have our political freedom of choice and association. We do not want to feel that there is ethnic genocide in Sarawak too. Sarawak for Sarawakians.

It is the very policy and structure of BN government that is causing Sarawak to lag behind so far from the rest of Malaysia. The Sarawak leader can shout nonsense that the Dayaks are equal to the rest of the Malaysian population etc because he wants to feel good about himself – he who has overstayed his welcome and value.

He has made certain elites in the community rich beyond their wildest dreams. Have these elitists helped Sarawak’s poor – the answer is still ‘no’

As much as I agree with most of the points by the writer, I have my reservations on  the suggestion of ”Sarawak Independence’.  We are fast to blame West Malaysians and Malaysian government on the shortcomings in Sarawak, as the writer put it ‘untold misery and frustration with its poor leadership and poor planning accorded to Sarawak’.

Sorry but I do not agree with that. The very reason Sarawak is still lagging behind is the people themselves. If we should blame anyone, we should point at the leaders and the people that give the mandate to stay in power, which is you and me. These leaders were elected to serve people in Sarawak in their capacity as the  State Government and they are entrusted with responsibilities to ‘make deals’ with the Federal Government on behalf of the people and they should make the best deal for us. Did they??

The writer said, ‘Sarawak has not received what is due to them’. Are we sure Sarawak leaders do their job asking for what is due for Sarawak? Well, since they are the broker between the people and the Federal Government, they should do the their job and if they are not, why people in Sarawak keep giving the mandate in each and every election? If they are not putting people’s interest first they should not be there in the first place, after making so much promises. Many Sarawak leaders are like aging warlords, they have been there for decades!! They keep making promises year in and out but what we get so far?

Independence? Leave Malaysia? So this beautiful state will stay under ‘the reigning Sarawak leader’ for another decade until he is 6ft under and his cronies continue his ‘legacy’? Oh that sounds very wonderful! Great move, don’t you think? If this Malaysian Government is corrupt, practicing nepotism, cronyism, Sarawak Government is very much part of the chain because last General Election, Sarawak ‘donated’  30 parliamentary seats to the current ruling party – BN, out of total 31 parliamentary seats in Sarawak. That is a whooping 21.43% of the total 140 seats in the parliament for the current government.

When political tsunami flooded most the BN seats in Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak still very much trapped in its ‘comfort zone’, choosing BN as their one and only choice. Many asked the question “What happened in Sarawak?” After all, if peninsular voters can dump the BN, why didn’t Sarawakians follow suit? Again, Sarawak is not peninsular. Despite such ‘bullying’, ‘bluffing’ and ‘bribing’ prior to the general election, Sarawakians still happily voted for BN, and any argument against their choice is always – politics in Sarawak is different, do not compare with Peninsular Malaysia.

Sarawakians do not mind to vote for these leaders despite their underhand tactics:

Bullying

While campaigning in Bintangor, Taib Mahmud urged voters to support the BN and to never disassociate themselves from the mainstream development agenda. He also warned Chinese voters of ‘grave consequences’ if SUPP lost further support (ET, BP, SC, SH, US, 1 March). His deputy, Alfred Jabu was equally blunt and told voters inclined to support the opposition ‘to think twice, if they wanted continuous development from the government’ (US, 2 March).

Echoing this intimidating sentiment, the Sibu SUPP strongman and BN candidate for Lanang, Tiong Thai King, noted pointedly that the annual federal government development allocation to Robert Lau, the BN candidate for Sibu, and himself was RM10 million. In the event they lost the election, Tiong said this RM10 million would be switched to other places (IT, 6 March).

Another SUPP heavyweight Wong Soon Koh noted the same. He suggested the federal government’s Ninth Malaysia Plan allocation of RM400 million meant for flood mitigation measures in Sibu would be diverted if the two BN candidates in Sibu failed to get re-elected (ET, BP, 5 March).

So too George Chan, Deputy Chief Minister and SUPP party president opined that all constituencies that voted in opposition candidates in 2006 had seen their annual development allocations postponed indefinitely or cancelled (IT, 7 March).

Parroting the SUPP bigwigs, small-fry Tan Joo Phoi, the Batu Kawa BN state assembly member, told Chinese voters that they ‘should appreciate what they have now, and continue to support SUPP’ so that society remained in a state of peace and prosperity (SH, 29 February). In a subsequent speech, he went further and noted that if the Chinese were marginalised politically, they would end up like ‘the Chinese in Indonesia’ (SH, 2 March).

Bluffing

Apart from bullying tactics, the BN also unashamedly bluffed their way – often via racist arguments – through the election campaign.

George Chan told Miri voters that if the SUPP Miri candidate lost, Sarawak Chinese would likely also lose their only Chinese federal minister to voice their Chinese views (IT, 26 February). A SUPP letter to the editor also noted that without Chinese representation in the BN, the Chinese would effectively ‘lose their rights’ (SC, 26 February).

Robert Lau, the SUPP candidate for Sibu, urged hawkers to support SUPP as the Chinese comprised a mere 30 per cent of the state’s population. According to Robert, any SUPP loss would possibly see the emergence of a Malay mayor for the city. And what if the Mayor apportioned licenses according to ethnic ratios? If that happened, Robert opined that nobody could help the Chinese hawkers, not even the opposition (SH, 3 March).

In a speech supporting Dr Tiki Lafe, the BN candidate for Mas Gading, Peter Nansian (the Tasik Biru BN state assembly member) said that unlike the BN, the opposition was only a hindrance to development (ET, 26 February).

Taib Mahmud also played the bluff game when he told voters not to believe the opposition party’s manifesto call to ‘change the government’ since ‘opposition parties cannot guarantee the future of the people and the country’ (US, 6 March).

But the biggest bluff of all was played by the Borneo Post (6 March) when it ran page upon page of seemingly superlative news about how well the Malaysian economy performed under the BN in an election supplement. written by hacks using questionable data supplied by the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department, which was paid for by a ‘mysterious’ source!

But bluff was not enough. So, the BN also resorted to outright bribery.

Bribing

As in previous elections, two types of bribery were rampant during this election.

The first was development handouts by the BN in exchange for votes. Bribes in anything but name, infrastructure projects worth a total of about RM1.622 billion (yes, billion!) were declared open and promised to the electorate by nearly all the Sarawak BN leaders and candidates throughout the campaign period. Note that this is only the reported figure! Many other infrastructure projects were launched as well but the value of these development bribes was not reported.

The BN also gave away about RM1.985 million (but likely more) in cash under the guise of development grants – just to show voters how thoughtful they were, even as they bought their votes.

Land compensation payments amounting to millions and hundreds of land leases were renewed while hundreds of other new land titles were also distributed during the campaign period.

Note also that all these figures do not include all other infrastructure projects launched and cash handouts given after polling day of which there was also a substantial amount, including one personal pledge/donation of RM100,000 by BN MP Tiong King Sing to SM Kai Dee in Bintulu (BP, 17 March).

Then, there was the more shady practice of alleged vote-buying via straight-forward but clandestine cash handouts. The DAP candidate for Kuching, Chong Chen Jien made a police report alleging that SUPP had carried out vote-buying in the constituency. This was vehemently denied by the BN candidate Alan Sim.

Then, Philip Tukok, a supporter of the independent candidate for Sri Aman, alleged that he and two others had been offered a RM10 bribe by BN agents at approximately 8.00 pm on 7 March, the eve of polling, at Rumah Kion, Tanjung Bijat, Sri Aman (Malaysiakini, 13 March).

Wong Ho Leng, the DAP candidate for Lanang, also alleged in his blog that postal votes seemed to be for sale in his constituency a few days before polling day (Wong Ho Leng, 10 March).

An independent candidate, Wong Hua She, attributed his loss to ‘money politics’ especially in Bintangor (SH, 11 March).

Considering the election results for Bukit Begunan in the 1996 state election was voided by the Election Court on account of unashamed electoral bribery by BN campaign agents, such anecdotal allegations carry more than a whiff of authenticity about them.

(Source: Aliran)

Of course, apart from the all these factors, BN won hands down because Sarawakians did not have much confidence in the alternative, thanks to immature and lame opposition antics during the election. The combined DAP-PKR opposition in Sarawak was pathetic due to their inability to present themselves as an intelligent, strategic and ultimately viable alternative to the BN.

Bickering by Opposition also helped BN

Instead of organising a mature and thoughtful campaign against the BN, both PKR and DAP bickered over seats and attacked each other throughout, thus sabotaging their respective campaigns. Their intense bickering in the public realm which was most evident in the Chinese press disgusted voters.

Thus, despite the best efforts of the national PKR-DAP leadership to get the state-level PKR and DAP to present a united front against the BN, the local PKR-DAP ayam jantan leaders were unable to see the big picture. Instead, they chose to display their stupidity and vacuously super-inflated egos in miserable tit-for-tat attempts to score insignificant points against each other. Consequently, disgusted voters either voted for the BN or refrained from voting.

Small wonder the BN laughed and romped all the way home with 30 seats. And they will win again in the forthcoming state elections due by 2011 if these so-called ‘champions of the people’ in PKR-DAP do not get their act together.

Sarawak is what Sarawakians want it to be. How many of us Sarawakians working outside the state even bother to tell our friends and families in Sarawak the truth? Heck, for many politics is a dirty word. Let it be known that politics has a long hand. It touches every single thing in your life whether you aware or not. Your fix deposit in the bank interest rate, your housing loan, your salary, your economy rice price, your business… Oh, your government just told you to CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE.. so, definitely you are affected.

It is simplistic to think getting Sarawak out of Malaysia will solve all the problem, but at least that is a start. The very idea of it, the reasons behind the birth of the idea make you realise after so long, we are still so far behind compared to our friends in Peninsular Malaysia despite our vast resources. This jolted us from our slumber sleep when Sarawak leaders are busy playing golf, flying in their private helicopters and counting profits from their ‘mis-venture’ in oil plantation companies, oil and gas companies and other lucrative projects.

The Flaccid Mind says: WE WRITE OUR OWN DESTINY.

I really do not know what to write. Bashing the government again? They are beaten to a pulp, so no point keep doing so. Let them dig their own grave and we bury them easy.

To be honest I am quite sick of Malaysian politics now. Same old story. Up to this day, BN still yet to wake up from their slumber and like usual, putting the blame on anyone but BN for their lose in recent election. One month after election, BN especially Umno appears to be still groping, unsure of what exactly has hit them.

Umno especially, never learn from their mistakes. One veteran politician in Umno obvious still living in the past and denial when he invokes the fear of “loosing political control to non-Malays”. He theorises that Penang, Perak and Selangor are already under non-Malay control. He arrives at this conclusion by numerically adding the non-Malays in PKR to those in DAP in the respective state governments.

This narrow interpretation of racial power is both illogical and unhelpful in forging racial integration. Malaysians are sick of racial politics! Especially it is twisted to benefit certain elite group in the society and hence many Malaysians reject the concept by BN where each ethnic must vote for a representative from the ethnic itself in order to have a ‘balanced’ representation in the government and decision making. Chinese – MCA, Indian – MIC and Malay – Umno. From what we see up to now, BN still in denial and clueless of what made nearly 50% of Malaysians voted against them.

This is some interesting statistics for Malaysia’s General Election 2008 if you do not already read it.

1. BN’s share of the popular vote in the peninsula actually dipped below the 50 per cent mark. The BN received just 49.8 per cent of the popular votes cast. For the whole country, the BN bagged 51.5 per cent of votes cast as more than 60 per cent of the residents of Sabah and Sarawak opted for its component parties. On the other hand, more than than 60 per cent of voters in KL and Penang voted for the Opposition’s parliamentary candidates.

2. More than half of the Malaysian population (52 per cent) live in areas where the Opposition triumphed – the five states under Opposition rule plus the Federal Territory of KL, which the Opposition swept as well. These areas accounted for 63 per cent of the total ballots issued.

3. These areas also account for 47 per cent of the bumiputera population. If only the ethnic Malays are considered, then 57 per cent of the Malay population now live in these Opposition areas. In addition, almost three quarters of Indian Malaysians reside in these areas.

4. In terms of economic wealth, these states account for 56 per cent of the country’s GDP. (Calculations based on figures obtained from the Mid-term Review of the Eigth Malaysia Plan.)

5. The Opposition-held areas include three of the wealthiest regions (in terms of per capita income) – KL, Selangor and Penang (though it must be noted that income disparities are wide) – and the two poorest states, Kelantan and Kedah.”

BN is sunk due to atrocious mismanagement of the country, not due to the Internet or what ever shits. It is not about Chinese votes, Indian votes, Malay votes, protest votes, bloggers, Internet but BN incompetence itself. No one is a bigger enemy to you but yourself. Idiots never learn I must say. Well, let them be.

On the not very encouraging reports of Pakatan Rakyat especially their bickering in Perak, Selangor and Penang over the representations in the new government these people must understand we voted for them not because Indians want an Indian exco to represent them and protect their interest, and Chinese vice versa. We voted for them to take care of all Malaysians regardless of race and religion.

So those who still think along the racial representation can F-off or join Barisan Nasional. We do not care and we never want these kind of leaders anymore. Anyway, I think it is fair enough to give 100 days to the new governments of Pakatan Rakyat in the five states to do whatever they need to do, spring cleaning, settle what ever problems they may have and start judging them later.

bongkersz : Retards, have no mercy for them.

The hottest issue in the blogosphere and Malaysia (maybe the whole world) is ‘Math genius who turned life to vice’. Many blogs I went to blogged about it. Even in Facebook, there is a group created to ’save’ her – Misi Selamatkan Sufiah! We also have politicians to embark on a mission to ‘guide her to to right path’ (Ha! Ha! Ha! Funny shiet!) I quote :

“Zahid Hamidi, the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, said that they are interested to assist Ms Yusof to return to the right path through the “Save Sufiah Program.”

As usual, our government being not very smart up there, squealed to the opportunity to play ‘good guy’ without even thinking properly. This is crap, what we can offer to help her? Do we understand the environment she grew up with? The lifestyle they have? Why help her not others? Why dont we help those girls here first? We have the same problem here but we not looking into it. Why? Because Malaysian politicians are just too nosy (kepoh!!) and have nothing better to do!

Save those prostitutes, drug addicts, mat rempits, drop outs, beggars, unemployed graduates in this country 1st. Go to Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman or Lorong Haji Taib. (No I never been there ha ha!) Not forgetting there are plenty homeless, poor folks to help. Watch “Bersamamu’ on TV3 and you know what I am saying. Kuman di seberang laut jelas kelihatan, gajah depan mata tak nampak. Bahlol sungguh! What a joke!

The cost is too hefty. Government officials travel on business class say RM25k per person. 5 ppl? Is not this money better spent to help girls who is forced into prostitution? Those who need help are whom are forced but have desire to change. She voluntary involve herself to be a whore and proud of it. I quote :

“People think escorting is sleazy and terrible but I don’t see it like that,” she says. “I’ve always had a high sex drive—and now I’m getting all the sex I want—and guys are much better in bed with an escort than a girlfriend.

“I don’t have any regrets. I’ve never felt more confident about my body and I’ve had some of the best sex of my life.”

(source :http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/0604_hooker.shtml)

Well, this is how we can help her :

1. Send a whore who has been in the same position and realized she made a mistake and change her life 180 degree. They have more in common to relate.

2. Leave her and her family alone. The last thing they want is to be a national agenda of country they not a citizen of.

She will come to her senses. In two years, she will get herself out. She just making time for her lost childhood. She wants help, she will ask for it. Just leave her alone.

Quote of the day: I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.

Note: A very super duper long post. I crapped this out, picking opinions from here and there, added in some of my 2 cents.

I thought Umno-led BN learnt their lessons after their catastrophic lost on 8th March 2008. Guess I am dead wrong. Just like a leopard never changes its spot, some people will never change. If we thought that an electoral blow to the ruling government (read – Umno-led BN) would serve as a wake-up call, well we do better think again. We wished that BN leaders would no longer making stupid remarks and ridiculous statements, but they are forever singing the same tune. Only the foolish and dead alone never change their opinions.

Open Tender Doesn’t Guarantee Fairness, Says PM

BUTTERWORTH, March 30 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Saturday lashed out at the Penang state government for adopting a fully open tender system as it does not guarantee fairness to those who are financially weak to compete.

He said in principle the proposal by the state government to emphasise on equitability appeared to be good but this would actually result in only those who were financially strong benefiting from the system.

“The transparency, open tender and open bidding approach is certainly good and gives comfort to everyone but we have to remind them that not everything that is said to be equitable is fair. Actually, only the strong and those with financial capacity will derive benefits from it.

This guy seriously is a moron. Moron is really an understatement. Is it not getting a capable and financially sound contractor is the whole point of open tender? He should shove his head down the toilet bowl and let me do my business with his head in the bowl.

What is the moron implying? Well we know he was “speaking” for many Malay businessmen out there, fearing that the open tender will give more advantages to bigger companies mostly owned by non Malays. But, let us think for a while, are the Malay businesses so badly run that they can’t deliver good work within budget? Is he also admitting that the NEP has FAILED big time because after 40 years, Malays still have not gained the ability to do business properly? Is he further implying that the only way the Malays can do business is by inflating the costs and doing shoddy work and that only the Umno-led BN government is willing to accept this? It’s an absolute insult to Malay business people’s ability!! I hope my Malay friends in this country not to take Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s insult lying down!

Only the strong and those with financial capacity will derive benefits from open tender

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that what open tender is about? We certainly want the strong capabilities and those with good financial capacity to undertake projects right? If a company does not have the financial capacity, resources and expertise to undertake a certain project, then that company should not get that particular project. Surely, we can’t expect to award a gargantuan bridge building project to an unknown two-dollar company on the basis of fairness. What our PM is implying here? This is life man, the stronger ones prevail over weaklings. That is the very rule of the universe. I am here now because I won the swimming race with billions of my comrades 26 years ago.

Open tender allows competition which leads to better quality and lower pricing. This also reduces the amount of “under table money”. This is one of the reason contributing to corruptible practices. Not allowing open tender will allow those wolves in sheep coat to abuse the privileges.

Different type of services or goods requires different approach on tenders. In some areas close tender or invitation would be ideal if it involves highly technical expertise or when security of the nation cannot be compromised. This is exception to the general rules of procurement process.

Yes, even open tender can still be manipulated. Specification can be tailored to favor certain products that only certain company has exclusive right to import, but opting for open tender for procurement process is the first and most important step to ensure this country has a good accountability and transparency delivery system.

From Bernama

“Abdullah clarified that the New Economic Policy (NEP) was not merely for the Bumiputeras as it also assisted the Chinese and Indian communities because the policy was not racially biased. He said the NEP was a national approach implemented to eliminate poverty regardless of race, enable equitable distribution to the people including enlarging the Bumiputera Commercial and Industrial Community (BCIC) and ensuring a robust economic growth to be enjoyed by all races.”

This PM must be talking to Martians. As far as I know, the NEP in Malaysia is only for one single race and that has been how it has been implemented and manipulated since 1972. He must be the PM of Mars since this is the first time I heard something like that. Either he thinks we are all stupid or he is from Mars and I am from Jupiter.

Heck, I do not think many Bumiputeras benefited from NEP. Who reaped the most benefits from NEP? Umnoputeras. Not Bumiputeras. Not Malays. But Umnoputeras, an elite class of Umno members. Aliran wrote a great piece on this issue:

Now, if one wants to know what the NEP really means to today’s Umno, Sarawak is a great place to learn about it – and the cabinet appointments only serve to underline that.

This is a state whose bumiputera – a majority non-Malay bumiputera – have seen the favoured grow rich while first the forest and now the land is literally being taken away from them. For these bumiputera, there is no NEP, instead lectures about changing their mindsets while their sources of livelihood are handed over to the well-connected, mostly apparently Chinese companies, but who knows the ultimate beneficiaries.

So, a first-term MP, son of the Chief Minister of Sarawak, is immediately given a deputy ministership, while long-serving Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu MPs are left out in the cold. Now, if anyone is interested in how politics and business are intertwined in Sarawak, just look up the Annual Report of Cahaya Mata Sarawak Bhd (CMSB), a company laughingly referred to as Chief Minister & Sons Bhd.

Go along most major roads in Sarawak and you’ll see signs proudly announcing that the road maintenance is under CMSB. The proposed USD2 billion aluminium smelter is a joint venture with CMSB – and we can guess why Rio Tinto picked CMSB as a partner. The concrete and cement and steel for Bakun is from CMSB. CMSB’s tiny Bank Utama was allowed to do a reverse take-over of much larger RHB Bank – but unable to turn a profit out of it, it’s now sold to EPF. CMSB owns the former JKR construction arm. And so on – to the tune of doing business amounting to 10 per cent of Sarawak’s GDP. One company, owned by the Chief Minister’s family – and our Mr Clean had no problems appointing the first-term MP son to the cabinet.

Well, it should be interesting to see Suleiman Taib Mahmud’s asset declarations. But if the government means what it says – who believes that anymore – then it should insist on asset declarations covering the extended family of parents, siblings and nephews and nieces.

But it gets worse. The new environment minister is from Sarawak, as is the plantations minister. Guess which state has done more deforestation in the past ten years? Right, Sarawak. And for what purpose? Right, for plantations. Check and balance? Or, green light to go ahead and further dispossess the bumiputera of Sarawak, handing over the degraded forest to the same people who degraded it with terrible logging practices, so that they can plant acacia and oil palm? Look at the timber companies. Now look at the ones in plantation. They are the same – the Big Five – they call them. And the economy of Sarawak is being handed over to them: forests, plantations, shipping, hyper-malls, hotels, real estate, etc.

Rafidah Aziz deserved to go. But by all accounts she was a competent international trade and industry minister – she deserved to go not because she couldn’t do that job, but because she got too good at some other jobs.

Whover has replaced her, it should be fun. But even more of a joke is the deputy minister, a long-serving Orang Ulu MP, also from the CM’s party, whose only knowledge of international trade and industry is staring at oil palm and acacia plantations coming up all over the Baram. Now this is a man who dare not even talk with his constituents when they want to talk about the land issue. And he is going to represent us in those international forums facing the sharks?

Let me tell you, many villages in Sabah and Sarawak do not even have proper basic amenities like water, electricity and proper road access or even clinics with proper Medical Officer and yet Umno-led BN can proudly bullshit in the MSM about how much development they have brought to the people of Malaysia. You’ll be surprised to see the MP of these areas are all from BN, who so call talk cocks and scare the locals that only they can bring development and prosperity, peacefulness and stability (whatever that dumb BN election motto). The question is, where are the results though millions was said to have been allocated for the rural development of Sabah and Sarawak? Out of naïve-ness perhaps, the locals have been voting this BN scumbags into power, without realising that they are voting for them to give them license to cheat them under their own noses.

One can never deny the level of poverty here is quite bad and go visit yourself to the villages here and see their living conditions. The program “Bersamamu’ in TV3 highlights about the cases of hard core poor in Peninsular mostly but some of the cases highlighted in the program is just ‘chicken-feet’ if compared to the living condition in some of the rural villages in Sabah/Sarawak. But all these have not been highlighted by the TV program or even in the MSM. Why???

Another pertinent factor to ponder is on the NEP as mentioned above, and also regarding Bumiputera status. This NEP thing is supposed to help the local Bumiputeras, everyone knows that but why still many in Sabah and Sarawak still living under the poverty line? Most Sabahan and Sarawakians are Bumiputeras in fact but how come then the NEP does not have any effect on them?

Meanwhile, Higher Education Minister Khaled said he would bring the issue about bloggers to the Cabinet although he was not the minister responsible.

Bloggers, he said, seemed to have become a big problem to the government as they deliberately covered up the truth about the government and because of their influence, people often took their views as news.

His concern was when the mind of the people became deviated after reading the blogs and the irresponsible attitude of bloggers who thrashed out responses in favour of the government.

“We are aware of the influence of blogs in the last election compared to newspapers. The government has tried to answer to their views in the blogs but they then erase the response. (ROTFLMAO!!!)

“Some views, I see, invite response in the blog but some don’t, and there are responses that have been erased by the blogger. After four years being fed by with absurd stories showing as though the government is bad, surely it brings problems to the government.”

This Khaled Nordin sure sounds very dumb to be a higher education minister. No wonder or education standard is going to the drain. Bloggers telling lies? Come on, Malaysians are smart enough to know the truth now. Many socio-political bloggers know their stuffs well, at least better than this Khaled Nordin. Oh, I wonder why suddenly the government is making bloggers as they were the giant killers in the previous election. I thought most bloggers are uneducated housewives no? And how dare this nincompoop to imply Malaysians who did not vote for BN are stupid and easily deceived by bloggers!!

Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today said his “biggest mistake” in disastrous elections was to ignore cyber-campaigning on the Internet which was seized by the opposition.

The powerful Barisan Nasional coalition suffered its worst-ever results in March 8 polls that left five states and a third of parliamentary seats in opposition hands.

The opposition, which was largely ignored by government-linked mainstream media, instead waged an enormously successful online campaign using blogs, news websites and SMS text messages.

“We certainly lost the Internet war, the cyber-war,” Abdullah said in in a speech to an investment conference.

“It was a serious misjudgement. We made the biggest mistake in thinking that it was not important,” he said.

“We thought that the newspapers, the print media, the television was supposed to be important, but the young people were looking at SMS and blogs.”

The comments are a major about-face for the government, which had vilified bloggers, calling them liars and threatening them with detention without trial under draconian internal security laws.

In line with promises to reform after the humiliating election results, Abdullah said the government would “respond effectively” and move to empower young Malaysians.

“It was painful … but it came at the right time, not too late,” he said.

Wahai BN, especially Pak Lah and the gang, you guys are missing the point. It was not the cyber-campaign by bloggers or what cybertroppers, facebook groups blab la bla that led to BN’s disastrous results in the recent elections. It was not the cyber-campaign that led to BN’s disastrous results as the Internet only gave an avenue for the rakyat to release some tension and to vent their frustrations. Cyberspace helped each Malaysian realise that they were not the only ones who felt distressed but there were others who were equally frustrated.

Even if BN has campaigned in cyberspace it would still lose many seats because the people are fed-up with the lies and corruption they hear. The Internet just made it easier for people to get information that mainstream media had suppressed all these years. Even if they had put up a strong cyber campaign, similar in line with their print media, tv and radio, the result of the election would still have been the same.

BN lost because of their arrogance and blatant unfairness – not because they did not engage in cyber campaigning. The young people are looking at both the print media and the alternative media.

Rest assured that truth prevailed over lies or mere propaganda and threats. BN could have used the Internet and cyber-network to the maximum and would still have performed disastrously.

Please give credit to the rakyat who can differentiate right from wrong and truth from lies. Whilst the Internet and cyber-network did not really topple the government of the day, they certainly aided the opposition to uncover and expose the blatant lies and scandals which were the main reasons BN performed badly.

It was not the cyber-campaign that turned the tide. Rather it was the lack of truth and accountability that did.

“It was painful … but it came at the right time, not too late,” he said.

I think it is too late, Pak Lah. Bloggers are very generous people, so instead for you to scratch your head coming up with post mortems why Umno-led BN performed so badly in March 8th poll with your limited brain matter, we did it for you. From Malaysia-Today:

A “ Medical” Perspective on Why the BN Lost in the Recent Elections

Posted by labisman
Saturday, 29 March 2008

With the thrashing that they got in the 12th.GE, the BN is now in ICU and they are doing a post mortem to find out what happened.

To help BN with this task, the following medical report has been prepared to identify the diseases / illnesses that have been plaguing it and how these ailments have caused this sickening organization to become so sick that major surgery is now being considered.

Diagnosis

Overeating – gorged themselves and ate too much of the people’s money

Heart failure – did not have a heart to really care about the rakyat

Rectal cancer and constipation – did not expel all the shit from the system

Diabetes – fondness for sweet things, i.e. saying sweet things to try and con the rakyat ( in plain English, lying )

Stroke – stroked too much of their own ego and became too arrogant

Overworking – too busy running here and there cutting deals for own benefit

Alzheimer’s – forgot to play the proper role of an elected representative

Obsessive-compulsive neurosis – obsession with cleaning, especially sweeping things under the carpet

HP6 – a mutation of the deadly H5N1 ( bird flu) virus which manifests itself in the form of idiocy or semi-idiocy, thus the descriptor “ half past six ( HP6)”. Many members of the BN are infected.

VD – Very Deaf. Did not listen to the grievances of the rakyat and did not heed the healthy advice and feedback from bloggers.

Color Bind – a form of visual impairment which is directly the opposite of being color blind. There is a fixation on color and everything must always be discussed in terms of “color” – Malay, Chinese, Indian etc.

Liver problems – failure to de-Liver on promises

“Inverted Cerebranus “ – a new form of disease where the cerebrum and anus are transposed causing highly irrational and objectionable behaviour, like brandishing ancient weapons and ranting racial slurs and threats

Prognosis

Not good and definitely a terminal case.

Chances of recovery are 1 in a gadzillion, about the same odds as Osama converting to the Jewish faith and becoming a messenger of world peace.
Cure

No known cure. Euthanasia recommended.

Suggest to drink lacquer – at least it will ensure a beautiful finish.

By Political doctor

That is all for today.Happy reading!!

So be glad that you are spared from reading my political craps haha! So go and read Cibol’s mushy sushi posts, hehe. I am going back to Sarawak tomorrow. 1st I will stop in Sibu to meet Sibu very own Simon Yam, Mr. Suituapui (Loosely translated as Good Looking Big Fat Ass).

Already I am very excited for the meet up since I will be treated with food, food, food and food again. That how Suituapui got his nickname I guess? He is king of food! Bengbeng will probably join us too. We need more kaki (literally – legs) to finish the food. Eh wait, on second thought, no need. Suituapui sure can finish it on his own

I will go back to Sarikei to vote on 8th March, Saturday. The stupid 5 cornered orgy. (I was talking about the election lah, you think what?) Then I will stop in Kuching, probably meeting up with Lola and Mar to share my love. ROTFLMAO! And back to slaving my ass on Monday. Tired. Tired. Tired.

I shall come back posting after the election, probably Monday ? Hope I have better materials to post up by then. Maybe Suituapui photos in different positions? Muahahaha, wait and see.

Till then I leave you guys with a song.

Take Me Home, Country Roads – John Denver

Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memries, gather round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice, in the mornin hours she calls to me
The radio reminds me of my home far a-way
And drivin down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

Young John Denver

Old John Denver

This election Khairy will contest for the Rembau parliamentary seat. Rest assured, if any hiccup in his plan to win the election, he already has his secret weapon ready. Why I said so?

Again, Election Commission at its best. I have done 4 postings on the EC here, here, here and here. Lastly, I have something for you to read here
Enjoy!

By RAPHAEL WONG

PUTRAJAYA: The Election Commission has cancelled the use of indelible ink in polling this Saturday, citing public order and security reasons.

Its chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman said following a meeting held Tuesday, the EC was obliged to make a firm and final decision to ensure the smooth conduct of the 12th general election.

He said provisions to the law needed if the ink was to be used still could not affect the constitutional right of a voter to cast his vote, even a person whose fingernail had been marked with indelible ink or one who refuses to have his or her fingernail marked this way.

“From a practical point of view, the issuance of a ballot paper to such a voter would render the EC’s proposal meaningless and will not bring about a positive result, whilst having the potential to create misunderstanding as well as altercations and arguments at polling stations,” he said.

The Federal Constitution gives you the right to vote, and a black mark on your fingernail should not bar you from exercising this right, he said.

Abdul Rashid said there were also reports made to the police confirming that certain irresponsible quarters had purchased indelible ink from abroad with the intention of creating confusion and suspicion as to the status of voters.

“The EC views these issues seriously as the election process and public order and security cannot be compromised,” he said.

The use of indelible ink was first proposed last June to safeguard against multiple or phantom voting. Abdul Rashid then said that the system would be subject to amendments to the Election (Conduct of Election) Regulation 1981.

He said indelible ink had been chosen over other measures, such as a biometric system working off the MyKad (chip-based identity card carried by all Malaysians above the age of 12) because such such smartcard readers would have cost about RM60,000 each, and every voting stream would have to be equipped with one. Using such a system would have cost in excess of RM30mil. The commission bought about 47,000 bottles of the indelible ink, manufactured in India, for RM2mil.

“citing public order and security reasons.”

Another 2 million gone into the drain! What public order and security reasons??! Bullshits!! Security my ass!! How this is a security problem? Somebody please whack this bastard for me. If I see him around I will shove some inks down his ass!! Would using indelible ink cause us to be terrorist?? Or would we suddenly fall sick and die? Maybe people will see indelible ink on one’s finger and become stone? How is it ever going to jeopardize national security????????? Can someone give any reasons please?

“irresponsible quarters had purchased indelible ink from abroad with the intention of creating confusion and suspicion as to the status of voters”

Then it should be the duty and responsibility of the police and EC duty to ensure that such thing will not happen during election day! But, how to create confusion? Why there are people want to buy the stupid ink, spending so much money and waste it? I believe the opposition do not have the money to do so. If they have the money, they will never go around asking and pleading for donation. The opposition is dirt poor. I have seen it with my eyes. They have nothing!! Their operation room is so pathetic you would want to cry when you see it. So, that leave us with only one party, none other but the mighty rich Barisan Nasional??!!! What are they afraid of?

First, EC announced that instead of counting the parliamentary and state ballot papers separately, this time it will be done simultaneously. Means what? The opposition parties which are lacking of manpower will be at the losing end, for now they need 2 counting agents instead of 1. For Barisan Nasional, with their deep pocket they can get any sohai to do the counting job for them. It is already very tough for the opposition to get volunteers to be their polling and counting agents, with this new ruling, EC purposely put the opposition in a difficult position! (Nevermind if you do not understand this, I do not expect dumbass to understand this either, yes.. you waggawagga if you read this!!)

I do not understand how some quarters would like to buy the ink, well if yes then what they can do with it? Apply on themselves so they cannot go in and vote? That is so dumb!! He really thinks we Malaysians are that stupid?!! This is power abuse!! Cilaka this Abdul Rashid! I hope this son of a bitch rots in hell for doing this!! What a crying shame. I am utterly disgusted. Our election process is a f**king joke!!
