DENY

First rule of the thumb, deny. Just deny you got anything to do with the Molotov cocktail.

Celaka punya Teresa, blaming the bloggers for the Molotov cocktails found at her parent’s house. She should blame herself, she should just shut up.

Come on lah, a part from laughing at your complain on your dog food phobia, bloggers have been focusing on other bigger issue, bigger problem, don’t you ever think you are national hero just because you were detained under the ISA.

I wander who were the people that voted her, can’t you see she is just another witch, one of which if you throw her a broom, she will fly.

And you know what, I agree with many, she might as well eat the dog food.

SHOULD I WRITE A LETTER TO DAP TOO?

Got this from an email. Worth reading while we are in Hari Raya mood.

An Open Letter to all DAP Leaders and Members:

Friday, 29 August 2008 17:20

The majority of the Malays support UMNO; and UMNO has plundered and mismanaged the wealth of this country with impunity. Therefore, to change the fate of our nation is to change the mentality of the Malays. This is the ONLY solution!

Without doubt, DAP has struggled and fought fearlessly and tirelessly over the past 4 decades aspiring to build a democratic and progressive Malaysia regardless of race and religion. However, I can only conclude that over the past 4 decades, DAP has completely failed to fight against the UMNO hegemony in the country.

DAP had never prepared itself to be the alternative of BN until 08 March 2008. And we have to acknowledge that DAP had been dragged and manipulated by UMNO to become or at least seen to become a Chinese-Chauvinist political party. The fact is that without PAS or Anwar Ibrahim, DAP will NEVER be able to engage the Malay electorate. The leadership of DAP has long been luxuriating in being recognized as the 'Chinese Hero' or 'Non-Muslims' Rights Defender'.

Since DAP's inception in 1966, the Party has failed to recognize the basic and simple fact that it is the Malays who decide the sort of leaders they want and they have voted UMNO in for 12 consecutive General Elections.

UMNO had always been perceived as the sole defender of Malay supremacy with their special rights and privileges, even if it is at the expense of other ethnic groups. It doesn't require complex political analysis to understand that the MAJORITY of Malays had always been staunch supporters of UMNO. If they refuse to change their voting preference, the status quo is going to remain. The more we challenge it, the stronger UMNO will be. Thus, for DAP to directly clash with UMNO will further enhance its image as a Chinese-based party and provide UMNO with an opportunity to have more Malay sympathizers.

An example is, if they increase the number of scholarships for non-bumis, UMNO can easily tell the Kampong Malays that they have succumbed to the pressure of MCA, Gerakan and MIC. The Malays will immediately give their strong endorsement to UMNO to defend their rights. DAP, as one of the strongest opposition parties in Malaysia, is still failing to comprehend the racial game played by UMNO.

Instead of directly engaging the Malay electorate, DAP chooses to play the ZERO SUM GAME with MCA and Gerakan. These 3 Chinese-based political parties lack the basic political wisdom to survive independently in our multi-racial country where Malays/Muslims are the majority. At least we know UMNO can easily survive by means of communalism and form the government with smaller political parties.

No matter how hard DAP argues or debates with MCA or Gerakan, it won't change the fixed mindset or mentality of the Malay electorate. Neither will MCA or Gerakan be forced to change the mindset of the Malays by DAP!

Remember the iron fact that the majority of the Malays support UMNO; and UMNO has plundered and mismanaged the wealth of this country with impunity. Therefore, to change the fate of our nation is to change the mentality of the Malays. This is the ONLY solution!
As our most respected Regent of Perak, Dr. Nazrin Shah put it, 'The Malay mindset is a crucial factor in our nation's stability'. Dr. Nazrin further elaborated that, 'racial prejudice can be erased if the Malay mindset is stable and comfortable towards forging harmony. It is a pre-condition to our nation's stability'.

May I ask Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Karpal Singh, or even the writer Liew Chin Tong, how much has DAP done over the past 40 years to change the mindset of the Malays? How much has DAP done to win the trust of the Malays? How many times has DAP challenged UMNO in open debate on the academic performance of Malay students?

Instead of getting closer and winning the hearts and trust of the Malay electorate, DAP has chosen to fight with MCA and Gerakan to play the role of Chinese Hero.

Worse still, after struggling for more than 40 years in Malaysia's political history, DAP still doesn't have the slightest inkling of what 'political courtship' is all about. Even the MOST STUPID salesman knows how to be courteous to customers and win their trust.
DAP chooses to shun Malay electorate and frighten them by:

a) Refusing to wear songkok,
b) Raising the issue of Social Contract,
c) Immediate abolition of positive discrimination policies

It's made me wonder whether DAP is paid by UMNO to strengthen their grass root supporters! If I were a DAP leader, I would ostentatiously wear the Songkok to pro-actively court and seek Malay support for DAP. I would put aside the issue of the Social Contract and would clearly and carefully pinpoint the weaknesses of the NEP to the Malay masses before revising it.

If the Umnoputras liken the fate of the Malays in Penang to the Malays in Singapore, how is YAB Mr. Lim Guan Eng going to answer this question or 'accusation'? What YAB Mr. Lim Guan Eng will do is to imitate his predecessor Dr. Koh by keeping his mouth shut and be speechless.

Silence means consent!

DAP should pro-actively and sincerely urge the Malay masses to look beyond the tiny island of Singapore and focus on the plight of Malays in Batam, Bintang, Karimun and even the slum areas in Jakarta. Ask them to compare whether Singapore Malays are better off or Batam Malays are better off.

I can help organize special tours for all the Malays/bumiputras in Malaysia to visit all the Indonesian islands surrounding Singapore to see for themselves how the Malays there are living in abject poverty and sordid conditions. Many young girls in Batam, Bintang and Karimun have to prostitute themselves to feed their family. They are also deprived of the opportunity to receive basic education and training. And we know many of them have to leave their families to become maids in Singapore and Malaysia.

We should challenge UMNO – NOT to protect the Malays in Singapore, but the Malays in Batam, Bintang and Karimun! We are not defending Singapore, but we have to speak the truth to the Malay masses. Enlighten them and so they won't be blinded and misguided by UMNO. Shame on our Education Minister who expressed the need to travel to the UK to save 'our' so-called prodigy Sufiah. He should go to Batam Island to join the UN's efforts to curb child prostitution!

For DAP's information, Singapore Malays have progressed very well. Over the last 15 years, they have improved significantly in their academic performance. Singapore Malays have the highest percentage of home ownership as compared to the Malays in Malaysia and Indonesia! DAP does not have to defend PAP, but I would encourage YAB Mr. Lim to invite Dr. Mahathir for a telecast debate on the plight of Malays in Singapore.

Dr. Mahathir always reminds the Malays in our country to look at the Malays in Singapore, how 'miserable' they are without firm control in politics. For Mahathir's information, the Singapore Parliament Speaker is a Malay and the Finance Minister an Indian Muslim like Mahathir. And so far, I have not heard of Singapore Malays being maids in Malaysia or Indonesia, and neither have I heard of a large number of young Malay girls in Singapore prostituting themselves to feed their family.

As Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, DAP leaders should openly and publicly support the teachings of the Quran in our country. I voted for PAS on 8th March to close down casinos, horse-racing, 4D and TOTO. Non-Muslims have long been paying a second tax to the UMNO government by 'gambling-off' their whole family savings and children's education to win the trust and respect of Malays and Muslims.

DAP should advocate the closure of casinos, 4D, TOTO, and horse-racing as all these vice activities operators are UMNO agents. They take gambling money from non-Muslims and pay it to their UMNO Master. To cut off this source of revenue for UMNO, DAP should explain to the non-Muslim community how this gambling system works in Malaysia – and teach UMNO a lesson as we must expose UMNO's hypocrisy!

Unfortunately, DAP leaders don't appear to have the intelligence, wit, courage and political will to have the paradigm shift and think out of the box politically. As mentioned earlier, DAP is just a political party helplessly manipulated by UMNO. By just simply advocating the banning of gambling, DAP could win the respect and trust of Malays and Muslims plus save many non-Muslims from bankruptcy and family problems. But most importantly, it cuts off a large chunk of revenue from UMNO. ONE stone killing 3 birds.

Instead of shouting and arguing with ridiculous Umnoputras in Parliament, I urge DAP to instruct each of their members to befriend at least 10 Malays to explain to them the challenge of this ever-changing globalized economy and how we have to work together regardless of race and religion for a better Malaysia. When the Malay mindsets change, Malaysia will change; and vice-versa.

DAP, hear me and hear me well. You may be sincere, but you are sincerely wrong in Malaysian politics. Go and study what made UMNO strong. Do your political analysis. Also, DAP, you must remember that PAS is your true friend, even though they talked with UMNO. They are righteous and godly people that won't succumb to the temptation of money. That is not the case with Keadilan. Except Anwar and a few top leaders, many Keadilan people are still carrying the UMNO-DNA, as we have witnessed with the running dog Ezam and Nalla betraying the party.

DAP, you should acknowledge the fact that the special rights and position of Malays/bumiputras are enshrined in our constitution. You have to respect it. You must have a complete and comprehensive Malay agenda to compete with UMNO. For example, the Penang state government can provide free but compulsory tuition for Penang Malay students at schools. DAP must cultivate and nurture the Malays in Penang to excel in academics and be able to compete on equal footing with others. Penang Malays must be the locomotive change of mindset to the rest of the Malays in our country. If DAP fails to change the Malay mindset in Penang, DAP will never be qualified to be addressed as a 'National' party.

Lastly, DAP, you still have a long way to go and you really have to learn again who's given UMNO power. Go to their power base, seize their power and cut off their power supply! For a progressive and better Malaysia, wearing the songkok is a trivial matter.

If necessary, let Anwar's new cabinet be full of capable Malays like Dr. Syed Husin Ali, Dr. Azly Rahman, Dr. Bakri Musa, Tuanku Abdul Aziz, etc. to prove to the Malay masses that we, Chinese, are not power hungry; we don't choose to 'pegang' so as to destroy their livelihood as UMNO has claimed. We can prove to them that even though there is only 1 Chinese Minister in the Cabinet, it is still okay to us if the highly capable and honest Malay leaders can lead our country to greater heights and serve the rakyat wholeheartedly regardless of race, language and religion!

Please learn, understand and even master the UMNO's Art of War in Politics.

'Know your enemies and know yourself, hundred battles hundred victories' – 'Sun Tzu's Art of War'.

FOR A BETTER MALAYSIA
Hidup Malaysia...

SABBATICAL LEAVE

Someone left a comment in my blog asking me whether I read Malaysia Today. Of course I do..long time ago. How do I find it? It is too long lengthy, it bores me on most occassions.

In the beginning I thought RPK was good, providing information I crave for, he was entertaining especially when he gets abusive, calling names to the many UMNO leaders such as Mat Taib.

Then came his speculation on who is going to contest at which and which constituency in the last election. He posted so and so contesting at such and such Parliamentary, to verify I call so and so aide to confirm, I end up getting a mouthful from him "...apa dia tau...dia tu bodoh...". True enough later so and so did not contest at the constituency as claimed in Malaysia Today.

Since then, I did not take Malaysia Today information as true and accurate information, since then I pressume all his allegation "macam cakap orang fasikh", since then I feel sorry to those who were defame by him. Since then I believe anyone name in his blog will sign the Detention Order if the Minister have second thought about it.

Now he is on holiday he ask for at Kamunting. He deserve the long sabattical leave. By the way, after a few Martini's, Kamunting will look like this. Have fun and enjoy.

DOG FOOD FOR THE BITCH?

Teresa, I think you complain too much? Stop bitching about the food they fed you while under detention. Don't tell me the detention food similar to dog food. We all know how dog food look like, yes it look like cat food.

No one at Bukit Aman have a clue what you like to eat, you may not like Nasi Goreng Kampung or Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin, you would rather see them feed you with Char Kuey Teow, Penang Style. Next time ask for the menu, yes like hospital food nowadays provide menu, ask for roast chicken, its nice.

You also complained about being fed with dua ikan kembong. What do you expect? Do you know ikan kembong is not cheap?

Having said that, your option is to follow the step of your good friends such as RPK or those from Hindraf, go for "mogok lapar", then the detention food will be a none issue.

Meanwhile, enjoy your freedom, go around and be a bitch, call for press conference, call the minister, sue everyone you hate left and right. Forget the poor and the needy, you are so important to the Nation. We must listen to you.

You should have taken the dog tray home, it is useful if you put to good use.

DONT GET TOO SERIOUS WITH ORANG GILA

Almost everyone I met who has interest in politics will ask me whether Anwar will take over.

A senior lawyer I met said, “What will Anwar do? He just go to Pak Lah and said, give it to me? I laugh of course, between the lines if I put myself in Pak Lah shoe I will take my “kerusi” and throw it to Anwar. And if I am charge for assault, my defence will be provocation. As we can see almost everyday Anwar was seen to be provoking Pak Lah.

3 days gone by, not much from Anwar a part from his repetition that he is going to take over as if we are deaf.

Anyway, today I have my field day, as I browse through the Pasar Ramadhan, a friend call from the Middle East, concern over the current situation. “Is it true...,” he asked, “is it true Anwar is having a press conference now on his intention to meet Agong”. “I said no, but I receive a lot of sms including the chance to watch Anwar swearing in front of Agong at anwargilakuasa.com and the best one with a message like this, “Anwar angkat sumpah depan gambar Agong”.

JUST MEET THE DEADLINE, WILL YOU?

No take over. Today 17th September, 2008, yet there is no sign of it. Only press conference from Anwar telling BN do’s and don’t.

Do you really think half of the MPs from Sabah will cross over just because you ask for it? Poor…poor Anwar, someone must have promised him to take the lead by bringing the 31 MPs to his knees but didn’t keep his words.

Give lah the names, don’t we the rakyat deserve to know? Pandai you, kononnya you fear their safety, they could be detained under ISA. All 31 of them or even 40? I don’t think there is any name.

Dato Seri, when you give the deadline, just meet the deadline, don’t give us all those bull of political stability and your attempt of smooth transition And why is this new October deadline. You nak buat kecoh ke? Knowing your track record, you might buat kecoh, from Parliament to the street.

So, who got cheated, Anwar or rakyat who supported him? It seems “pungkok Anwar kena main”.

Politic is beautiful, don't you think?

BYE BYE, WE WILL NOT MISS YOU

Zaid resign as Minister in charge of the Law? Pak Lah refused to accept his resignation? I think he should resign, if he has so much love for the Law, he should resign, politic and law doesn’t go together especially ISA.

If he stays in the the cabinet he will be none other than “Duri Dalam Daging”.

Until today no one really knows why he was put in the cabinet. He was suspended for money politic, he was not nominated to contest in the last election and I was also told recently he lost his contest as Division Chief to Dato Fatmi in Kota Baru. Who is Dato Fatmi? He is Najib former political secretary.

Ya lah, time to go Zaid. You are not that good and likeable even at your division. The only body that care, is the Bar Council. You can join them back.

PUASA AND TAK TAHAN

The freed Sin Chew Jit Poh reporter was arrested apparently not under the ISA, that is good. The option probably, is to ban Sin Chew Jit Poh or suspend its publication license.

Teresa Kok arrested under ISA for causing racial tension over an issue of loud “Azan”. If I am not mistaken she denied making such statements or supporting the petition several weeks ago. I don’t think Teresa Kok is that stupid to ask Kinrara mosque to lower the sound of "Azan" from the speakers? The Head of Masjid Kinrara confirms Teresa never set foot at the mosque in handing over the petition. Why was she really arrested? We will find out in the next few days.

RPK, arrested under ISA, expected and he deserve to be detained.

Before I forget bila nak tahan Dato Ahmad?

Usually when there is a report, mesti tahan, if not charge lah, tunggu apa lagi?

BELIEVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY

RPK detained under ISA? “Good, about time, government is slow in detaining him”, said many I know.

I have no sympathy, I hate everything about him, especially when he put it in such away that he got the royalties behind him for whatever said and done in his blog.

Frankly, he is a disgrace to the Royal Family, “Buang saja lah nama “Raja” tu. Memalukan”!!!

In 60 days you will hear several lawyers going to court filing habeas corpus, in several days the usual so called candle light vigil in his honour.

Next, he will try to do the “mogok lapar”, so be it, he deserve to die in pain, don’t you think.?

I will never, ever defend anyone who through his “pen which is mightier than sword” destroy the peace and harmony of this Country which my father and my mother cherish so much, peace and harmony which I will defend all my life.

Remember, no one should compromise on national security.

BLAME WHO?

We are good at blocking the roads, 3 days later we open it.

We open the Smart Tunnel, then we close, then we open it again..

We blocked the Parliament gallery from the press, at noon we open it.

We preemptively block Malaysia Today, now give directions to open it.

What are you people up there thinking of all the time ? Is your job to embarrass and to sabotage the present Government.

Presumably, you are those people who want to make Pak Lah’s Government look incompetence.

I think our decision makers and those who advice Pak Lah and those who make decisions without second thought with no proper consultation should resign and not Pak Lah.

SPECULATION

Will Anwar take over by 16.09.2008?

No. Reason being, No jump, leap, cross over and whatever way you want to call it. Only fools will jump over to Pakatan.

Tun Mahathir rejoin UMNO, why? To support Ku Li for UMNO President post?
No, reason being, Tun is supporting Mukhriz for UMNO Youth Chief post, that’s right, to get rid of KJ.

Will the racist comment of Dato Ahmad cause dissatisfaction that warrant racial riot?
No, reason being, who is this Dato Ahmad, why must we listen to his old facts, and who is he to teach everyone history. With the exception of politicians, journalists, the rakyat are mature enough to take his bull #*%*. For all we know Dato Ahmad fore father from Hindia, is it true?

Time to speculate.

LOMPAT SI KATAK LOMPAT

16th September, 2008 is not far from the date line of Anwar’s dream to take over the Government. He repeated from time to time there are many BN MPs going to “lompat” party. If I am not mistaken, according to him as many as 30 MPs.

“Lompat Party” is not something new, it has occurred several times, mostly from the Opposition, MP’s from PAS, PBS, DAP had cross over to BN for many years. BN should not worry when their MPs decided to jump to Pakatan. After all Pakatan seems promising. If Pak Lah, as Anwar said “bagi gula-gula” to the rakyat in the last Budget, Anwar also gives gula-gula, guli-guli, balloons, ole ole and many more. As long as it is not peanuts, the potential cross over is imminent.

My advice to those potential traitors, “Look before you leap”.

AL FATIHAH - IN MEMORY TAN SRI A SAMAD ISMAIL

memoirs: published by UKM

Today, 5.58pm, Thursday, 4th September, 2008, the Nation lost a Great Man, Tan Sri A Samad Ismail.

Tan Sri Abdul Samad Ismail, born in Singapore on 24 April 1925, a journalist, political activist, and creative writer, known for promoting Malay nationalism. He was a founding member of the Gerakan Angkatan Muda (Geram) and of the PAP (People's Action Party).

He was Chairman of the Malaysian Press Institute and was also a founding member of the National Association of Writers (PENA). For his accomplishments in the literary and journalistic field, he was awarded the title, Pejuang Sastera by the Government in 1976.

From Javanese parentage, Samad Ismail was born and educated in Singapore. He completed his Senior Cambridge in 1940, just before World War II began, and launched into journalism almost immediately, starting as a cub reporter in the newly established Malay daily, Utusan Melayu.

During the Japanese Occupation, he did editorial work for the Japanese-sponsored, Berita Malai with Abdul Rahim Kajai and Ishak Haji Muhammad (Pak Sak) for RM10 per month. The returning British thus had him jailed in 1946 but only briefly. After the war, he returned to the Utusan Melayu as the assistant editor. His anticolonial stance led to a second arrest in 1951.

Upon his release in 1953, he returned to his job at the Utusan Melayu and became a founding member of the People's Action Party along with Lee Kuan Yew. However, disagreements with both Lee Kuan Yew and with the Utusan Melayu saw him leaving for Kuala Lumpur in 1959.

In Kuala Lumpur he head the Berita Harian and later the New Straits Times where he remained a strong advocate of the Malay language and culture, and continued to explore the complex dimensions of race and politics in Malaysia. He expressed some of these thoughts through his Malay novels which he began writing in the early 1960s. In 1976, he was again arrested under the Malaysian Internal Security Act and was not released until 1981. Upon his release, he returned to the New Straits Times.

My deepest condolences to Nuraina Samad and her family.

May Allah Forgive Him and Bless His Soul.

Al Fatihah.

KERANA MULUT

And… I told you so in my last posting ( refer to 1.9.2008 posting) and everyone is agreeable with me.

Strangely the person who is responsible in making that shameful remark has yet to surface to offer his apology and take whatever punishment like a man.

Why must UMNO apologise on his behalf when UMNO think it is his personal statements. Let him come forward and offer his own apology in front of the many races he called “Immigrant”.

I have a suggestion, bring that person this Friday at Tugu Negara, ask him stand with the National Flag, sing “Negaraku”, then ask him to recite “Kami Rakyat Malaysia…..”, and “Bersumpah” at the end of it that he will never repeat it again witness by among others Dato Nichol David and Dato Lee Chong Wei.

Let me tell you, it will work as a form of “Kesedaran” punishment. After that we surrender him to UMNO Felda branch for his next punishment, let them throw chairs at him.

The old folks were right when they said “Kerana Mulut, Badan Binasa”.

SELAMAT BERPUASA

image: manama, Bahrain

I plan to rest at Ramadhan, no UMNO bashing, I promise myself, but UMNO is a party worth bashing, the more UMNO gets the bashing, the more stupid they would be.

Bukit Bendera UMNO Chief Dato Ahmad who made that stupid remark about Chinese community should not get away freely. Pak Lah, Pak Najib must take immediate step in suspending his membership and take the necessary measures in punishing him. Don’t lah go around defending him and tell people he didn’t mean it. People are hurt by his careless remarks whether intended or not.

UMNO is becoming very unpopular among the New Malays, not the Melayu Baru type screamed and shouted about by Mat Taib, Muhyiddin, Najib and “tidak lupa” Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim who was among them 10 years ago. Some even said if you want to see a political party full with “Penyamun Tarbus” look at UMNO, it is full of them. This is the sort of people who is leading UMNO at Division level. Believe me, their forefathers are migrants too.
