Will they ever learn?

The "point" here being the next GE ? 2010/2011 ?



The newly minted DPM was reported to have said this, in one of the local malay daily. I quote " Ya, kadang-kadang kita berasa terpedaya juga kerana zahirnya nampak macam ‘ok’, sambutan dengan tepukan gemuruh tetapi mungkin sudah ada tertanam dalam hati iaitu sesuatu tidak mudah hendak berubah, pokoknya masalah isu Perak terutamanya di kalangan masyarakat Cina yang mungkin telah dipengaruhi dengan sentimen simpati kepada Datuk Seri Ir.Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin, kononnya dia ‘dijatuhkan’, lepas itu kononnya dasar memberi pegangan tanah selama 99 tahun dilihat dasar yang menguntungkan.“Ini yang mungkin menyebabkan sukar BN mendapat sokongan walaupun kita fikir bila mereka hendak sekolah Cina dibantu, kita bantu, sepatutnya mereka membalas budi.“Pada waktu itu, kita pun tidak berharap sokongan kaum Cina akan meningkat 40 peratus dan sebagainya cuma kita berharap ada peningkatan sedikit tetapi apa yang berlaku ia mencatatkan penurunan, macam tidak ada penghargaan terhadap apa yang kita lakukan.”



Now, not only did he say that but he also added "Ini yang mungkin menyebabkan sukar BN mendapat sokongan walaupun kita fikir bila mereka hendak sekolah Cina dibantu, kita bantu, sepatutnya mereka membalas budi."
I dont think I need to add nor elaborate as to what the above means. Read and make up your own minds. What I must say is that, the newly minted DPM is still very much in the old school politician mold. I must also say that this sort of politicians must be made extinct! They are no longer relevant nor needed in the present day political landscape of Malaysia.
The very astute DPM had this to quip when asked to comment about his comments that appeared in the said daily. I quote " “If you don’t understand Bahasa Malaysia, we can send you to school,”
When will they ever learn ? Or maybe I should ask; are they even capable of learning?

Just how the hell do they look like?

May I look at your face mate ?

The strangest of phenomenon in that Altantuya trial is the fact that the Malaysian public never once saw, just how the 2 UTK elite squad members convicted for the crime actually looks like! Just how the hell do these people look like ? Why are their pictures not paraded in all the newspapers and tv after having been found guilty of this dastardly crime ?
Is it so, that we may never know who they were ? Why ah..... ?
Hmmmmm..................

Whats the motive?

Now why did you do it mate ?

Should you not know by now, the 2 UTK chaps have been found guilty of murdering the Mongolian woman known as Altantuya. Well that's all well and good. But I still don't get it ! Why would they want to kill her in the first place ? What is their motive ? How did they benefit by killing her ? Were they under instructions ? If so, under who's instructions ?
This is one trial that had the factor X written all over it from day one. X being the factor of the unknown! In fact this trial reminds of an episode from the "X files" . I loved watching the series in the early 90's. After watching each episode you had that gnawing feeling in your gut that the US government were hiding secrets from its citizenry! Didnt matter it was all make believe then.
But this is NO episode from the X files. These are real people and the events that took place were real. Someone actually died a very horrible death in this case. The very sad thing about this whole affair is that there are still many unresolved issues regarding this case. None more so than the obvious one :Just what is the motive now in this case ? Why was Altantuya murdered ?
I cant believe for one moment, that this 2 chaps from the UTK woke up one morning and decided to first shoot and then to use c4 on the dead body! Why ?
May the truth reign in the end! May the truth bring all that were responsible for this dastardly act face justice soon!
Just like in the X files, I have to end my post by stating " The truth is out there!"

Do we need those huge pictures ?

Sorrylah Mr PM! Tiada restu rakyat bagi mu kini!

I just don't get it. Now you must be wondering as to what has got my beef now ? Those big posters hung across the roads congratulating the new PM. That's my beef todaylah!
I was driving to court this morning when I saw this huge picture of PM Najib hung across the road. This was somewhere along Jalan Loke Yew near the Chinese school. Goodness gracious me! Now just why is this huge picture there ? As if we Malaysians don't already know that we have Najib as the 6th PM of Malaysia ? The funny thing is the congratulatory picture/poster did not name who put it up! Look the way I see it, unless you had been living on Mars, one being a Malaysian would definitely have had known that we have a new PM to helm the country!
The past few days since Najib became PM there have been many people/companies trying to outdo one another in placing full page advertisements in the newspapers congratulating Najib. There were many that were placed thanking our good old Pak Lah also! Hello...... so much money is it ?
Look, all you clowns who insist in "balls carrying"; may I suggest you do something else instead ? Why don't you use the money and donate it to some charity or needy school in the name of your heroes ? This way you can kill two birds with one stone. Its such a shame! The world is in recession and you clowns are wasting valuable resources on polishing some politician's ego ? Nothing to do is it ? So much money is it ?
Why doesn't our beloved PM ban all this "bodeking" ? Oh ya......... maybe he likes his ego being polished ?
Arghhhh.....................

Yes ! PR won the 2 bukits!

Yes! I believe I can fly........
Yes ! It happened at the 2 Bukits ! The Rakyat has clearly rejected the BN in the 2 by elections. To tell the truth I was a little concerned for the 2 Bukits. I was worried that the media blitz by the BN would have played a major role in the elections. Well you know what... the Rakyat is apparently very smart. They rejected the BN. That my friends, is a fact now. Never mind that the PR lost in Batang Ai, for that one was an uphill battle from the moment go.
But these losses of the BN in the 2 Bukits is something to be rejoiced by all right thinking people. The message is clear. The Rakyat is so BOSAN with the stupid antics by the BN. The time to be accountable and transparent is now beholden upon us.
I heard over the radio this morning that Muhyiddin Yasin the UMNO deputy President was saying that the BN will conduct a post mortem to ascertain why the BN had lost. I tell you what Sir...Tak Payah post mortem. The answer is plain and obvious for all to see. All the bullying and corruption done in the past has not gone down well with the Rakyat. That is why you people lost. The BN has grown so arrogant that it has lost all grounding with the Rakyat!
So to that former PM I have this to say....better go tend to your garden and play with your grand children in your old age. Tak payah menyibuk nak jadi advisorlah ! Buang masa. WE ARE SO SICK OF YOUR ANTICS BOTH PAST AND PRESENT! Should the PR be the government of Malaysia some day, they ought to prosecute you for your past deeds.
Now that the message has been delivered loud and clear to the BN government (not once but twice), the question arises as to whether the BN is going to change for a better Malaysia or is it going to be adamant of its past ways ? One thing is for sure, if the BN does not reform, come the next general elections the BN would be reduced to being the opposition rather than the government!
Cant wait for the day!

Power to the people!

Together we can make Malaysia great!

I wonder how the PR will fare in the 3 by elections being held today. I am hoping that the PR will win in all the 3 by elections. Me, I am no politician. In fact I am not affiliated to any political party. Though I am not a member of any political party, I am of the firm opinion that only by having a strong opposition will bring about the much needed "check and balance" that seems so wanting in Malaysia today. There is so much unbridled power presently in the hands of the BN government that there seems to an air of arrogance that is associated with the BN. Past incidences of excesses and abuses appear to be unforgettable and unforgivable even.
Did you see how the former PM is able to walk the streets in Bukit Gantang trying to coax the people there to vote for BN ? Makes me sick. This man was responsible for the rot and destruction of many of the organs of state. Just look at the Judiciary today !And now he wants to be an adviser to the present government under Najib ? Anyway, strangely enough, despite being soundly beaten at the polls on 8/3/08 the BN government seems yet to learn anything from this message by the people. I guess some are just so thick!
I agree with what the former law mininister Datuk Zaid had said; here is the chance for the people to state their choice. So what will it be people ?
I am praying that the winds of change will continue to blow today!
Power to the people!

Call me a sceptic !


Me still no percaya sama lu lah!
I had been away the whole of last week. I didn't have the chance to post my thoughts as to recent events up till now. Wow! In a space of just a week we Malaysians have had much to talk about didn't we ? First we had the Earth Hour, then we had a new PM, Formula 1 and now the by elections. We certainly have it good don't we ? Ha-ha!!
Anyway I am just not convinced with the new PM's new found "approach" to the Rakyat. Call me a sceptic but I just don't buy it lah! We have been hoodwinked as a nation so many times in the past that I have resigned myself to being a sceptic!
The new man says the ISA detainees were released because the government cares! Hello am I missing a point here ? And just why did you gomen fellas detain these people in the first place then ? Oh ya ..... I forgot, because you cared! I don't know about you chaps, I have the strangest feeling in my gut that nothing much is going to change here in Bolehland! Just the same old people doing the same old magic tricks getting us Rakyat all wanting to believe that change is really upon us.
Tell you what Mr New PM , this is my list for a better Malaysia....would you really be able to do something about it ?
1) The findings of the Royal Commission into the infamous Lingam tapes;
2) The "missing men" from the Altantuya matter and other related matters;
3) A truly independent MACC;
4) The independent police commission;
5) Abolish the ISA;
6) A free and independent Judiciary;
7) A free and independent media;
8) Freedom of assembly.
Tell you what Sir, just start with the list above. I will post you suggestions from time to time as warranted in the circumstances.
Cheers,
M V Nathan
