#10. The only corruption that MACC knows how to catch is those not going to them or BN politicians...
#9. The P.D.R.M. or better known as Polis DiRaja UMNO, they are the licensed mafia of the Government...
#8. Judicial sytem that proves "Justice is fair and blind" but only if you have lots of it to buy the verdict in your favour...
#7. The existance of the Internal Security Act (ISA)...
#6. Worst, putting facist Datuk Syed Hamid Albar at the helm of the Home Ministry which has the authority to exercise the ISA...
#5. How will Malaysia be 1 when there are double standards...
#4. Too many 'keris' weilding political racist leaders running the country. The logo they chose symbolises exactly what they are, CROOKED!!!...
#3. How can it work when Malaysia keep celebrating the wrong National Day, 31st August instead of 16th September...
#2. Well frankly, all the nation's leaders are nothing but idiotic MORONS!!!...
And the #1 reason why 1Malaysia will not work.....
Malaysians are just too intelligent now to believe such a lame crap!!!

And the stupidity continues.....
Evident that when a disease has spread to the bone it is hard to cure. The disease mentioned here is stupidity and the bone refers to UMNO.
Right after UMNO's general election, an Islam based rehab plan was urged to be implemented to fight against corruption and money politics in the party. No wonder UMNO is slowly but surely dying. This goons just can't get it through their thick skulls can they. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the religion. The problem lies with the leaders that they have entrusted to lead the party. What good is religion when the person has no integrity and principles.
The new UMNO lineup only suggests that the corruption and money politics will only get worst. Very bad news for the little people in UMNO and the 'Rakyat' but much welcomed and good news for the Opposition. To improve, UMNO should stop blaming religion for their shortcomings and start realising that it is themselves that needs to take the blame and responsibilities for its failures.

Idiotic statements that make Malaysian politics and UMNO moronic
As the UMNO party general election is in progress, many have taken this opportunity to say some words all for the purpose of making oneself known by stealing some lime light. Sadly these attention grabbers only come up with nothing but moronic statements that further enhance their idiocy.
The hottest topic and most used propaganda in this edition of UMNO's general election was about the 'enshrined in the Constitution' Malay rights issue and the position of Islam. A Perlis delegate Jafri Othman, one of the many, called for the UMNO Supreme Council to revoke the suspension of Bukit Bendera UMNO Chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail. Jafri said that Ahmad was merely defending Malay rights and shouldn't be punished severely. Err...how does name calling other races as 'immigrant' helps defend the Malay rights??? Ahmad has already been punished lightly as no ISA action was taken against him for such serious seditious remarks.
Penang delegate Mohd Zaidi Mohd Said said Malay rights should be safeguarded at any cost and a Negri Sembilan delegate concurred with this statement saying that those who question the Malay supremacy should be put under ISA arrest. All goes to show that ISA is the Malaysian Government and UMNO Gestapo. Proves also that there is double standard in Malaysia, an UMNO incite racial tension but suspension that ensued is asked to be revoked whereas if a none Malay even questions the 'Ketuanan Melayu' they face the draconian Internal Security Act.
Mohd Zaidi also added that other races when hurting the feelings of the Malays can get away with it. He was refering to the 'UMNO celaka' from Karpal Singh and 'UMNO gila kuasa' statements by Lim Kit Siang. Of course they got away with it la you moron. Karpal and Lim clearly meant UMNO as in the political party and not the Malay race. The audacity Mohd Zaidi must have to assume that UMNO is the Malay race. The assumption of such a thought and the inability for him to differentiate between the two is an embarrassment not only to him but his teachers as obviously he was not taught well.
Kelantan delegate Mohd Afendi Yusof then condemned those who insulted and challenged the royal monarchy. He even said that others do not understand that Islam teaches Malays to respect royalty. Ironically UMNO was the very first to challenge the royal monarchy when they pushed the bill through Parliament to revoke the Sultan's immunity. This fellow is a super duper idiot who enjoys slapping himself in the face and has just embarrass Islam with his pea brained statement.
One thing that is even clearer in UMNO than the corruption and money politics in the party is idiocy beyond stupidity. To get ahead in the party you just got to talk lots of loud bullshit trash. Knowing or understanding the facts and meaning is not even secondary, it's not needed at all. Oh ya, ambushing a wheelchair bound senior citizen with 20 to 30 supporters will etch your name in the party's folklore legend. Add in abusive and threatening words together with some pushing will gain you cult hero status. To achieve the state of nirvana and enlightenment in UMNO, one must go through the gruelling ritual of waving and 'keris' kissing with the shout of 'running blood of immigrants through it'. Idiots, nothing but childish morons. I do wonder still how the hell do we let these bunch of goons lead our country.
UMNO idiots even claim that DAP is very slick and use Malays for their own agenda and is embarrassed to see Malays falling for their tricks. Actually DAP is not very slick but only needs to employ child's play tactics as UMNO is just too dumb to counter it. The embarrassment is not other Malays seeing the light and join other political parties to fight against UMNO but that UMNO is using their very own Malay race to gain political mileage and to extravagantly feed their own stomachs.
Most ironic of all is in the midst of all this moronic statements being issued, the UMNO leaders have been chiding the opposition about not passing a new amended Human Rights Bill through Parliament. Here they are trash talking the Opposition but contradictingly they are defending the 'Malay Supremacy'. So what equal human rights is there in the 'Ketuanan Melayu'???
Credit should be given to UMNO though for since the day of its inception, they have always been consistent. Consistently lying, cheating, conniving, scheming, oppressing and marginalising for their own benefits. Looking at the lineup set to lead UMNO after their election, their consistency is set to continue. Sadly it is not good news for the 'Rakyat' as we are the ones that have to pay and suffer the brunt of their stupidity.

When you get the corrupted to guard against corruption, the MACC is what you get.
In his attempt to leave his legacy as not to be the lamest Prime Minister ever to lead Malaysia, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi brain stormed the idea of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission. Set to be his greatest and defining achievement in his rather short term as the premier of Malaysia, MACC as all his other efforts has blown up right in his face.
Once thought as a positive and bold move by Badawi as he pushed hard for the bill for the establishment of the MACC through Parliament and finally getting the green light to proceed, many Malaysians welcomed the the commission as maybe, just maybe, the rampant corruption and power abuse might be kept in check. Till date the MACC instead of looking like a genius brain child of the PM looks like nothing but a lump of UMNO excreted poo.
Some pity should be shown to him after all he can't be blamed for being born some what short of a few marbles in the space between his ears. The thing that he is guilty of is his inability to learn from his past mistakes. The people that he have kept close to him and entrust to assist him in leading the country has all come back and bit him in the arse. His DPM, the snake Najib and the chief commissioner of MACC, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan are all spineless crooks. Poors Badawi though as honestly there are no loyals among his ranks.
The MACC has proven that there will be no chance for a democratic and transparent government in Malaysia as long as BN and UMNO remains in power. The MACC's final outcome on their investigations into irregularities in UMNO has found the party to be clean, pure and pristine party only goes to show that MACC themselves should be investigated.
Prove of MACC is as corrupted is the very next day after they release the public statement of UMNO being free of any money politics and power abuse is an aide of a top minister in UMNO was caught with RM50,000 in his car. Of course it'll be hard for them to prove that the money will be used for buying votes as the UMNO general election nears. All the same, it'll be interesting to see what the MACC concludes what the money is for after their investigations. Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be good reading for a laugh.....

'The Star' gets the tender to polish Najis
It seems like throughout the coming tenure of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, 'The Star' newspaper has been awarded the task of polishing and keeping the new PM's credibility in good light. This can be seen already in the publishing of an article about Najib adopting a 'people first' leadership style. It raises question what perks are the editor and newspaper getting in return for their hypocritical ass sucking up to the new Commander and Chief of Malaysia and his administration.
As we all know that the Malaysian freedom of the press in reporting the truth is worth as much as a sleeveless shirt is to an Eskimo, most if not all newspaper here in controlled by the 'Gestapo' inspired Government. History has shown that CEOs and editors of major newspaper in the country are cronies of the Prime Minister at the time. These principle lacking editors will then filter and spin the truth to polish and shine the Government. Anymore of such polishing our incoming bald dumb ass PM's head will glow in the dark!!! Those who oppose, well, not so lucky they are as they will find themselves at the end where the warm dog shit oozes out as they are misquoted, scrutinised, condemned and criticised. Nowadays the RM1 or so spent on buying the papers is not worth it as the only truth you can read is in the orbituary, comic and sports pages.
In the recent article about Najib, it was reported that he met up with editors to explain his coming Government policies and in return he gets insights of what Malaysians want and expects. Najib was said to be keenly interested in understanding the Rakyat so he will be a better leader and to improve UMNO and BN to form a strong, for the best of the people oriented Government. What a load of crock!!! What majority of the Rakyat want is equality among all the races, less corruption, abolishment of the 'Ketuanan Melayu' ideology and the Internal Security Act just to name a few. It doesn't take rocket science to know what WE WANT.
There is no need to meet up with editors because they are filled with more shit than a septic tank. If the brainless bald headed twit wants to know and understand more about the Rakyat then he sould decend from his self proclaimed above all pedestial and come down to our daily oppressed and marginalised, humble level. Down here is where he can see better for himself the hardship that we have to go through everyday. This is the best and only way if Najib or any country's leader for that matter that is genuinely interested in the welfare of its people to get an untainted view of what is going on. Looking down from up there his vision will only be clouded and his vision blurred by his corrupt and crooked cronies.
Come and join us Mr. Razak and get a taste of us commoners daily life's struggles and you'll be enlightened. Don't know what the goons in your close proximity have been telling you sir, but rest assure mingling with the Rakyat won't infect you with leprosy. Instead you'll leave with the true meaning and spirit of being a Malaysian, then and only then will you be a great leader.

It’s ok if the Government but if it’s the Opposition then it is not
One of the most telling factors that you know you might have chosen to be on the wrong side is that your opposite counter part gets whatever he or she wants.
That is what the 15 Pakatan Rakyat leaders must have been thinking when their party approved the purchase of RM130,000.00 Toyota Camrys each for their official use. This deal would cost the party about RM2million and has come under scrutiny from Barisan Nasional. Being the opportunist that BN are, Pakatan Rakyat has been accused of minding their own welfare more than that of the people. Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo was quick to the draw and seize this issue to criticize the opposition coalition.
It is quite audacious actually for Toyo to criticize such purchases as when he was the Menteri Besar of Selangor, he approved a purchase of 1 unit Mercedes S350L worth almost RM1million for his personal use with the funds from Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Berhad. The Selangor state government had to bear that extravagant purchase and in the end the ones really paying for their luxuries is us, the tax paying Malaysians.

Malaysia gifts Palestine US1million while millions of Malaysians get high taxes
Big fan of war, violence and hostilities I am not and it saddens me to read about the hardship that the Palestinians are going through. It is unfortunate that their country is engulfed in such atrocious inhumane conditions now. Everyday lives are lost, women, children, babies and infants are not spared from this perils as Israel continues its assault on the country.
What at first seemed to be a return of compliment at the Palestine, Israel has now upped a gear and it is more of an invasion now as ground troops and tanks have been deployed. Till date about 500 Palestinians and 4 Israelis have been killed and with seemingly no end to the hostilities in sight, death tolls will sure continue to rise. A lesson to be learned that this is what happens when you supply a bunch of idiots with weapons.
All over the world people have been condemning the military action of the Israelis. I too is in agreement with the views of the majority that the Isreali attacks have been brutal, inhumane and should cease immediately. War never should be an option in any kind of situation or crisis. Lives will be lost, properties damaged and the only one that stands to gain in all this chaos is the arm dealers. Victory though might award the country’s leader immortality in history but being politicians that they are, they wouldn’t mind it even though they have blood on their hands.
Having said this though it is ironic that none has condemn the Palestine government for their stupidity since it was them that drew first blood in this recent out break of hostilities. The Palestinians were the ones that let fly 2 rockets into Israel and killed 4 Isreali civilians. Though it does not justify the brutal counter fire from Israel but it was the Palestine government themselves courting with disaster. I mean you can’t possibly be that dumb as to shoot rockets into people’s backyard and not expect any serious repercussions. The fate that have befallen their country and the lives of their many innocent civilians are pretty much all of their own doing. Honestly think about it, if we were Israel, won’t we be doing the same???
Our country Malaysia has also jumped on the bandwagon at criticizing and condemning Israel. Everyday so far you can read of our ministers and politicians, both government and opposition, having a go at Israel. Needless to say we all know why the sudden relentless condemnation of Israel, because election is in the air. Sad that they are merely using other people’s misfortune to gain popularity as the Kuala Terengganu by-election nears. There is also another 2 probable reasons.
First of the other 2 reasons for Malaysia being so vocal is that the fact Malaysia just hates America and the American have always supported Israel in the past. Second probable reason could be that Palestine is a Muslim country. If memory serves me right, Malaysian government has never given a cent to any other non-Muslim country as relief aid for war.
This point can be validated by the fact that our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has approved a US1million help package to Palestine despite there are millions of Malaysians still living in poverty especially in states of Sabah and Sarawak. These communities have been living without the bare necessities for generations and our Government is instead giving more than RM3million to other country. Just to make themselves look good the Malaysian Government has once again neglected the needs of the many Malaysians.
Another point to mention of our Government’s continuous neglect is that currently a few states in Malaysia is going through bad flooding and won’t that RM3.8million be much of an aid and relief to the victims. Residents of an old folks home in Kulim has even publicly criticized the government for not sending them any help. It was understood that all these senior aged Malaysians had to evacuate themselves. Don’t these Malaysians deserve aid and assistance first before our Government tries to save the world??? Weren’t they the Government elected and they themselves have sworn to safe guard the well being of every Malaysian??? Seeing the ant across the river but failing to see the elephant standing in front of their eyes is the classic short comings of the retarded mentality that our Government is suffering from.
Apart from that, with our country facing economic slowdown and the prospect of hundreds of thousand Malaysians in risks of losing their jobs in the near future, one does wonder if the RM3.8million was money well spent. I am pretty sure Malaysian taxpayers are not fond of the fact that as trying times are near, our resources have been nonchalantly given away by our Government. It would be a real bitch if at the end the Government comes back saying it lacks funds and starts increasing or creating new taxes and increasing fuel prices. Knowing our flip flopping Government, that is what they are capable of doing. In the end, as usual the Rakyat is the ones that falls victim to the idiocy of the morons administering the country.
Being Malaysian, I am sure we are all used to the fact that not being a part of the crony chain of the Government goons, we will just have to continue to fend for ourselves as we have always done all this while. Help from our Government is the last thing we have all come to learn to expect. The Government whether the present or the new isn’t going to change despite all the promises and what not. It has been more than 5 decades of the same old same old so what is going to make this 2008 global economic slowdown change anything in Malaysia, or who will make the change, Najib? UMNO? Anwar? PAS? Pakatan Rakyat??? By the look of things so far, sadly to say but…..susah la!!!

UMNO Communism
A Malay-language edition of a Catholic paper has been banned by the Government for their use of the word "Allah".
Herald newspaper editor Father Lawrence Andrew was surprised when he failed to have the paper's license to print their Malay edition renewed last Tuesday. Another petty move by our Government in restricting medias not controlled by them.
Operation UMNO Communism is well and truly on its way.....

RTM to air more about Israeli evils - what about Palestine's war crimes???
Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek said that Radio Televisyen Malaysia or RTM will be airing more footage of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people. This was said to allow Malaysians to view for themselves the atrocities committed by Israelis on the Palestinians, the killings of innocent people and the loss of property due to bombings.
The continous condemnation from our government at Israel only goes to show how racist our nation's leader are. From day one they have been criticising the Israelis but what about the Palestinians' atrocities. They have failed to mention any about it. This Israel-Palestine conflict is now an all out full blooded war and atrocities of killing, murder, rape, terrorism, bombings and even massacres are synonymous. What is there for the 2 countries to complain about when knowing that is what war brings but still elected to engage in hostile confrontations. What right does our country or any other have in determining who is right or wrong. It takes two to wage a war and parties invovle are to blame regardless of who spitted first.
Our country's national media should make this and any other war an example to our future generations that war is not the last option, it should not even be an option at all. Instead the Government's one sided airing of Israeli misdeeds only suggest to the young minds that we should take sides, in this case the Palestine as they are majority Muslims. This will only create prejudice of Muslims in our country towards others. Clever but dangerous racial ploy by our Government in trying to win back support of the Muslims for UMNO.
Even our ex-Prime Minister has jump on the bandwagon of condemning the Israelis. That is why wars never seem to have a peaceful solution to end it because these individuals taking advantage of the situation to gain some political mileage. Malaysia should maintain its neutrality if it really has intentions of peace and work with other countries in finding a peaceful agreeable solution for both Israel and Palestine instead of hypocritically criticising America for doing nothing and indirectly encouraging Israel. What have the Malaysian Government contributed apart from talking crap.....well, the answer is absolutely nothing!!!
In recent attacks on Palestine, Israeli military aircraft have bombed several targets in Gaza killing more than 300 people, mostly defenseless civilians which includes women and children. Till date more than 600 Palestinians have been injured in the attacks. Lives have been lost, families broken and damages to the country's already poor infrastructure resulting to loses in the millions. Yes, this is the heavy-handed ways of the Israelis on the Palestinians. Yes, they deserve hell's condemnation but Palestine too have their share of war crime atrocities.
Palestinians war tactics against Israelis has always been that of terrorism plus guerilla styled warfare. They have been using churches and hospitals as a fighting position, using ambulances to transport explosives, using whellchair bound man as cover, carried out suicide bombings, Palestinian soldiers dressed in Israeli uniforms, murdering young Israeli girls, using vehicles of the media to ferry suicide bombers, executed captives that were not even involved in hostilities and even using their own Palestinian flesh and blood including women and children as cover when engaging in battle.
Yes, these are the shocking war crimes of Palestinians are guilty of that our Government conveniently omitted from telling us. The Government's promotion of Palestine has seen about 1,000 of our students from Universiti Malaya’s Academy of Islamic Studies and the Sultan Ismail Petra International Islamic College (Kias) demonstrating at Dataran Kias as a protest against the Israeli aggression. The students were seen with banners bearing the words "We Condemn the Israeli Attacks on Palestine", "We Muslim Students Protest the Jewish Brutality" and "Boycott Israeli Goods". They also burnt an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and the Jewish flag. Do these students actually know that they are supporting murderers too???
Using the current war between Israel and Palestine is a cheap and dispicable tactic that the UMNO masterminded Government is harbouring on for political reasons only. If anything that RTM wants to air it should be atrocities of both countries and the negatives of hostile offensive engagement. Armed confrontation should never be the solution even if the opposite party drew first blood. War has shown over the years that it doesn't solve anything.
Condolences and sympathy goes out to all those that have lost their loved ones and to those who have survived so far, your safety and well being is in all our prayers. The new year is here and hope and prayers are axtended to all Israelis and Palestinians that there maybe an end soon to their conflict. May this year be the beginning of many more years to come of peace for them and for all human kind.

No entry into Sarawak
After spending much of our state's funds in promoting tourism to Sarawak and what does the government do, they deny people entry into the state.
Pakatan Keadilan Rakyat or PKR Member of Parliament for Padang Serai N. Gobalakrishnan was denied entry into Sarawak by immigration officers under orders from the government at the Kuching International Airport.
Gobalakrishnan quoted :
"The moment I reached the airport, immigration officers told me that I am not allowed to enter due to instructions from the state government".
"The immigration officer gave me a notice which reads ‘Tuan bukan rakyat Sarawak, tidak berhak untuk masuk ke Sarawak tanpa permit atau pas Akta Imigresen 1959-1963′ (You are not a citizen of Sarawak and are not eligible to enter Sarawak without a permit or immigration pass)."
The PKR Member of Parliament left on the next available flight out of Kuching.
What an embarrassing and conceited move by our government to stop the opposition machinery into entering the state. Deplorable is what it is. That's how despicable the UMNO-BN Government are. Recent news about DAP's new rural branches getting tremendous support have definately sent shivers through the Government. As seen recently of SUPP's statement that they never neglected the Iban communities and now deny access of an opposition party leader into the state. Clearly an act of cowardness from UMNO, BN and Taib's administration.

Game over for Pakatan Rakyat???
PAS with their constant bickering of implementing Hudud and Qisas law if Pakatan Rakyat ever takes over as the Federal Government has probably sealed the fate of the opposition. The momentum that the opposition has worked so hard to build up and now the idiotic wisemen of PAS has practically nailed the coffin shut.
These moronic leaders of PAS when they went for their religion required circumcision must have also circumcised their brains too. PAS till today has been the weakest and most dangerous link in the Pakatan Rakyat machinery and it is a wonder why does the Pakatan Rakyat still keep them in the coalition. PAS are clearly no team players and is like an over heavy garbage that is just sinking the Pakatan Rakyat coalition ship.
They should know that their Hudud and Qisas law will never be a winning and accepted manifesto simply because Malaysia is a multi-racial country. Their primitive laws are not even preferred by their own Muslims of this country. The PAS leaders should have just kept their foul smelling crap hole mouth shut and just ride the wave. Being master tacticians that all politicians are, PAS should have known better to keep such controversial issues to themselves first till the day Pakatan Rakyat really takes over the Malaysian government. What good is it making such a big fuss about it now only to ruin your chance of getting elected into office.
That is what that doesn't make any sense at all. Politicians are a cunning and conniving bunch. Their tactics, strategy, ploy or call it whatever you like is always well planned and carefully thought out. Very seldom they would slip up and make a mistake like this to only jam their party's machinery.
Was it a boo boo by PAS issuing the statement or was it actually puposely done???
History has it that PAS and UMNO were once partners in crime before they had a fall out and went their separate ways, or did they now...??? It seems rather ironic that PAS would be dumb enough to issue such a statement which automatically swings the momentum away from Pakatan Rakyat. Their said fall out might have just been an Emmy winning performance. This might all have been a high level hush hush deal between PAS and UMNO. PAS might actually be a spin off party of UMNO to do its espionage work and to sabotage opposition parties and coalitons.
Hmmm.....now that's a food for thought isn't it. How else do you explain the wisemen, master tacticians of PAS frequently coming out with statements and issues that only seems to put the Pakatan Rakyat in hot soup. Whether or not this maybe true, it would still be in the best interest of the Pakatan Rakyat if they are really serious about toppling BN to form the next government, is to just chop off the bad leg that is just slowing them down, and that is PAS.

Yoga 'haram' in Sarawak
I'm so saddened to read in the papers that Muslims in Sarawak has been banned from practicing yoga. It's so sad, just so so sad that a healthy and relaxing practice of breathing and stretching exercises can be miscontrued by the idiotic National Fatwa Council.
Even more heart breaking is the fact that our state has agreed with their views. Seems like Sarawak now has become a wimp state pleasing and adhering to every whine and cries. Feels like with each passing year Sarawak has lost its identity and 'ngelaban' spirit. We have become the 'Government say shit standing up then we shit standing up la' people. Since when did we become so weak and dependable on the Government that has been taking our natural resources from our land and giving us chump change in return.
Apa dah jadi wahai anak-anak Sarawak???
Under the Taib administration almost 30 years, the state and federal government has been chopping down our trees, stealing our land and sucking our oil dry. The ones that benefitted from all this years of looting, not the people of Sarawak that's for sure.
Self denial and closing our eyes from seeing this reality isn't going to make things better and make the problems disappear. It is high time we took destiny into our owns hands.....
STOP VOTING FOR TAIB, BN, UMNO AND THEIR CRONIES!!!

Abusive Polis Di Raja UMNO vs. cycling Human Rights Group - JERIT (Part 1)
The Malaysian police once again showed how abusive they can be with their power. This time arresting members and supporters of the human rights group JERIT. Even YB Dr Jeyakumar, the MP for Sungai Siput was not spared.
JERIT was organising the 'Cycle for Change' campaign when they were disrupted by the police and brutally manhandled. A female JERIT coordinator was even said to have been punched in the face and her breasts grabbed.
If there is any need to scuffle with these peaceful human rights activist on bicycles, I'm sure the police could refrain themselves from using accessive force especially on the women to avoid such issue arrising of being accused of molesting. Of course this molesting could have been accidental as there is always two side to a coin but the police have no one to blame for their continued ignorance in always putting themselves in such a spot of bother.
Let see what the police have to say for themselves on this issue in the next coming few days shall we. Stay tuned for Part 2, till then, STRIKE 1 to Polis Di Raja UMNO.....BOO!!!

Getting sacked from UMNO probably the best thing to have ever happened to Datuk Zaid
Former de-facto Law Minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has been sacked from UMNO with immediate effect s announced by Prime Minister and UMNO president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Reasons for the sacking, Datuk Zaid attended one too many events that were organised by the opposition.
According to the lame Prime Minister, Datuk Zaid attending these opposition's events is against UMNO ethics and drastic action needs to be taken. The Prime Minister also said that UMNO does not practice double standards and will act tough against those who breach the party's code of ethics. Datuk Zaid will not be allowed to appeal the decision as the sacking was agreed and approved by the UMNO Supreme Council.
Think without doubt that the sacking is a blessing in disguise and probably the best thing to happen to Datuk Zaid. A man of such righteousness and vision as him should not waste his time in UMNO. All his efforts would only be filtered and suppressed by UMNO. Datuk Zaid's intentions to bring about change would have more effect and his message will reach further now that he is out of UMNO.
Thanks to Datuk Seri Abdullah and UMNO for yet again releasing another thorn from their party that I'm very sure will come back and prick them in the arse. Hmm.....maybe this is also a clever move by the outging Prime Minister to have all those influential individuals out of UMNO so they can make life a living hell for Najib as means of getting back after his successor forcibly forced him out of power.

Cheers for the Sultans again!!!
With the economic slowdown heading towards Malaysia and the political mess that we are going through, the ones with the sensible rational mind seems to be the Sultans. With the lack of political leadership from the country's leaders it seems that the Sultans are bridging that vacuum void.
Latest muscle flexing by the Sultans was the announcement by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah that there will be no "Datukshit" being conferred by the state this year. He also said that there will be no additional state functions and the state must be prudent in spending as not to waste the Rakyat's money.
The idiots and morons that are running the present government should take some leadership lessons and examples from the Sultans. Think in the fifty plus years of independence, never has there been a government so weak and lame as the present one. In this last five years can be seen that the usually untouchable big three component party of UMNO, MCA and MIC that makes up the Barisan Nasional coalition showing signs of dissatisfaction among each other and the lack of unity suggest that maybe a break up of the coalition is at hand in the near future. History in the making is what we could be witnessing soon, the demise of the BN coalition and the racist UMNO.
Must say it's been along time coming. Fifty odd years of the same old crap is just a little too long. Malaysia needs a change. The change though we do not know if it is for the better or for the worst but nonetheless a change is most welcomed. It is time that UMNO realise that the Rakyat are no more ignorant to the dangerous racial card that they keep pulling out of the bag. The Rakyat now are too intelligent and wants a more fair and transparent government with equal opportunity to all regardless of race, creed or religion. Over the years Malaysians have learn to live in racial harmony and have the outmost respect for each other. UMNO today is in trouble because they fail to realise this.
Evidently, can be seen as the Selangor Sultan has openly criticised the politicians using racial issues to gain political mileage for their own or party's benefits. The Sultan is right that the politicians should give the racial thing a rest and focus on more important matters, the economy. With the global recession and the risk of it hitting land fall in Malaysia soon, all the politicians are busy bickering about "Ketuanan Melayu" and privileges only. Don't they realise that when Malaysia goes into economic turmoil, what use is the privileges going to do??? If due to the economic crunch and civil unrest occures, what use is the "Ketuanan Melayu" then???
Hopefully the Sultans of Malaysia will continue to make noise and keep the politicians in line. With the Royals coming out from political obscurity and back into prominence, maybe that is just what Malaysia needs.

UMNO bitches in mud fight for number 1
Party election is coming for UMNO and election won't feel like an election without the normal back stabbings. Wanita UMNO are no exception to this common practice. As they say, politicians are ust greedy spineless opportunists.
Main event in the Wanita polls would be the bitch fight for the women wing Pesident post between now President, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, and her current deputy, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
It was almost a no contest for the post as it was earlier agreed that Tan Sri Rafidah would return to her present post unchallenged only to hand over power to Datuk Seri Shahrizat come June 2009. All was going well until recently Shahrizat made an about turn and decided not to wait and announced she will contest for the post in the coming party election. Goes to show when devils made deals with each other, surely one will end up with a fork in the back.
Rafidah in her counter move of Shahrizat's turn around has announced that the recently agreed power transition plan is now 'null and void'. She said that if she were to win in the coming polls, she would see out her 3 year term.
One wonders if the bold move by Shahrizat is the right option or she should have just patiently wait for the power transition in June 2009. Shahrizat's 73 nomination votes to Rafidah's 117 shows that Shahrizat might have a tough time beating her well seasoned campaigner.
The build up to the Wanita UMNO show seems pretty exciting and don't think it will disappoint and the sure to ensue bitch slapping and hair pulling will surely entertain. What promises will be a great battle of the heavy weights (and literary so too...hehe!!!) of Wanita UMNO and front seat reservation is much advised. Who will win this no rules anything goes caged match, the defending or the challenging???
Round 1 would fair to be said was won by Shahrizat for her fork in the back stab of Rafidah.

Joke of the day.....
Dr. Rais Yatim, UMNO Supreme Council member and also Foreign Minister, called Gerakan Wanita Chief Datuk Tan Lian Hoe, 'celupar' (B.M. for loud-mouth).
The name calling was prompted because of Tan's statement in a speech made more than a month ago at Wanita Gerakan's national delegates conference on Oct 10. Tan was to have said that historically the Malays were also immigrants in this country and thus equaling the Malays to other races.
Yes Tan, you should know better than to issue such statements. The Malays are the 'master' of Malaysia and all the other races are their 'slaves'. In Malaysia historic realities cannot be challenged and historic realities of the Malays were once immigrants too cannot be mentioned. That part of Malaysian history is no more.
Ok la, Rais, have it your way. "Ya tuan, ada apa lagi yang boleh dan tak boleh cakap atau buat?"
There is also this issue about the 'keris' kissing thing that is not satisfactory to Master Rais, who is unhappy that UMNO goons are not allowed to kiss it anymore. Hell, you're our masters so you can make love to it if it pleases you for all we care!!!

Strong Dayak winds in Sarawak sending shivers up Taib's arse!!!
Ngemah state representative, Gabriel Adit along with former PRS Balleh division publicity chief Beginda Minda and 12,000 Sarawakians have applied to join Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's Parti Keadilan Rakyat or PKR.
Their application forms were submitted to the PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim at a huge dinner gathering in Sibu which saw more than 4,000 people in attendance. During his speech at the function, Adit, a four term assemblyperson, told the crowd that the main reason for joining PKR was due to the "political castration" of the Dayak under the BN state government.
"Enough is enough of BN. Now change is coming to Sarawak." he said, adding that there are many BN members waiting to join PKR.
The Dayak community of Sarawak are disgruntled with the BN government's management (maybe mismanagement is more of a right word) of native customary rights land.
This land rights issue has been going on for quite some time now. Groans and moans from the Dayaks of being short changed or forced out from their land by the government is an everyday norm here in Sarawak. Some more intelligent once will make it known publicly and some not so fortunate ones doesn't even know that they've been had till it's too late to do anything about it.
Now with PKR and people like Adit fighting for them, we do hope that the Dayaks will finally get what they deserve being one of the true natives of this land of the Hornbills.
Former PRS Balleh division publicity chief Beginda Minda joining up with PKR will add even more strength and dimension to the party here in Sarawak. This feistly fella resembles the spicy pepper that Sarawak is famous for. He was forced to leave the state BN component party following his bold call for the Chief Minister and his 2 deputies to step down.
Over the years under the same Chief Minister and BN administration, we Sarawakians are not spared from the marginalisation, poverty, oppression and discriminations as faced by our counterparts in other states. It is a plague that is killing Malaysia slowly and must be rid of as soon as possible. Failure to adhere to these dictator ministers then consequences such as lost of job, tenders and projects, you will have to bear. Now with the 12,000 new PKR members with a promise of more to come the government will not think that they can always have their way and get away with things like they have grown use to over the past 20 years or so.
News of such turn out in support of PKR must have ruined Chief Minister and long time UMNO suck up, Taib Mahmud's weekend. Honestly, don't think majority of Sarawakians will pity Taib at all. This white haired demon and his family has been sucking Sarawak and its people dry all these years and it is time for him to go.
It is time for the people of Sarawak to unite and fight for our rights as Sarawakians. It is time to fight to ensure that the 'Burung Kenyalang' will forever fly free from the racist and oppressive UMNO and BN.
Their application forms were submitted to the PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim at a huge dinner gathering in Sibu which saw more than 4,000 people in attendance.

Umno delegate says he received parcel with ballot papers
IPOH: A delegate to the Gopeng Umno division meeting on Oct 26, said on Thursday that he had received an express delivery parcel containing 78 ballot papers for several posts in the divisional election.
Hang Tuah Din who is also Kampung Rapat Jaya Umno branch deputy head, said he received the parcel four days after the meeting from a sender named Ikhwah Islamiah of Sungai Siput.
"There were 78 genuine ballot papers believed to have been issued or added during the meeting," he told reporters here.
Five of the ballot papers were for the post of deputy chief, three for vice chief and 70 for delegates to the party general assembly in Kuala Lumpur.
Hang Tuah said that in the parcel, there was a note which said the sender was aware of an abuse that happened in the meeting.
He said that two days after the meeting, there were 85 ballot papers in excess for the post of committee members and this cast suspicion that an abuse had happened for all posts contested.
On Friday, 20 Gopeng Umno divisional delegates staged a protest against the outcome of the meeting, claiming that cheating had occurred during the tallying process.
Taman Lapangan Permai Umno branch head Ahmad Ishak also submitted a memorandum of protest to Perak Umno liaison body executive secretary Datuk Hasbullah Othman.
In the meeting, Hamzah Mohd Kasim was elected divisional chief after obtaining 186 votes. His challengers Mustaffa Kamal Mohd Nawi and Rustam Affandy Abdul Aziz received 102 and 77 votes respectively. -Bernama

Crusader of ‘Bangsa Malaysia’ vs UMNO cult believers of ‘Ketuanan Melayu’
Much spit and spatter has been going on about the concept of ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ or ‘Malay Supremacy’. There will never be an end to this as the concept does have racial elements in them no matter how you choose to read it. A more considerate approach or amendment to it might cool things down but if UMNO persist to use it as their party’s propaganda then all hell will break lose again.
The issue now with the concept is said to be just a diversion gimmick of the UMNO led Government to cover up more pressing matters that our nation is facing and some say that it is UMNO’s deceited tactic by playing the racial card to win back the wavering support of the Malays. Which is true??? I believe both are. Both are a conveniently win win situations for UMNO. Smart tactic of ‘killing two birds with one stone’.
It is actually a very well thougt out plan with immaculate execution and timing. Cheers to the brains of UMNO, their Supreme Council members, for concocting such a clever and full proof plan. Guess you goons are not that stupid after all but still moronically racist goons nonetheless.
So what is this ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ or ‘Malay Supremacy’ concept???
The definition is a belief that Malay people are the Tuan (Masters) of Malaysia. The Malaysian Chinese and Indian-Malaysians who form a significant minority in Malaysia are considered beholden to the Malay for granting them citizenship in return for special privileges as set out in Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia. This quid pro quo arrangement is usually referred to as the Malaysian Social Contract. Although the idea itself predates Malaysian independence, the phrase ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ did not come into vogue until the early 2000s.
Article 153 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia grants the Yang di-Pertuan Agong or King of Malaysia, responsibility for safe guarding the special position of the Malay and other indigenous peoples of Malaysia collectively referred to as Bumiputera and the legitimate interest of all other communities. The article specifies how the King may protect the interest of these groups by establishing quotas for entry into the civil service, public scholarship and public education.
The Reid commission suggested that these provisions would be temporary in nature and be revisited in 15 years, and that a report should be presented to the appropriate legislature (currently the Parliament of Malaysia) and that the “legislature should then determine either to retain of to reduce any quota or to discontinue it entirely”.
What ensued was the introduction of the national Economic Policy or NEP aimed to reduce the economic gap among the various races. After Article 153 reared its validity of 15 years, the May 13 race riots occurred and so the article was never reviewed and the NEP which was suppose to end was extended till 1991, twenty years after its implementation. When the NEP was finally revised it was considered a failure and was replaced with NDP or National Development Policy but with a very heavy stench of the old NEP elements.
According to constitutional scholar Shad Saleem Faruqi, the Malaysian Constitution has been amended 42 times over the 48 years since independence as of 2005. However, as several amendments were made each time, he estimates the true number of individual amendment is around 650!!! He stated that “there is no doubt” that “the spirit of the original document has been diluted”.
This sentiment has been echoed by other legal scholars who argued that important parts of the original Constitution, such as jus soli (right of birth) citizenship, a limitation on the variation of the number of electors in constituencies, and parliamentary control of emergency powers have been so modified or altered by amendments that “the present Federal Constitution bears only superficial resemblance to its original model”. It has been estimated that between 1957 and 2003, “almost thirty articles have been added and repealed” as a consequence of the frequent amendments.
This revelation does raise the question that the amendments made were done with self benefiting intentions to certain quarters. As previous general election, UMNO has always won majority hence the rights to make such amendments but of course for such amendments to take effect needs the approval of Parliament. Since UMNO have majority seats in the Parliament then laws, amendments and policies benefiting to them can easily be passed without any opposition. Datuk Zaid Ibrahim’s recent speech seems to strengthen these suspicions.
Former de facto Law Minister and senator Datuk Zaid Ibrahim pointed out that the Government should practice a more transparent form of democracy to accommodate the rights of all Malaysian and that the ‘restructured’ Social Contract marked the advent of ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ concept and its failure is the cause of the country’s current state of affairs. He also added that the non-Malay BN component parties were perceived by UMNO to be weak and in no position to exert influence. Brandied about by UMNO ideologues, the Social Contract took a different, more radical tone. Affirmative action and special status became a matter of privilege by reference to race rather than of need and questioning of this new status quo was not to be tolerated. Since the Malays were effectively represented in the Government, there was no way the interest of the Malays could be taken away other than through their own weakness or folly.
Datuk Zaid’s bold statements did not sit well with UMNO ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ sympathizer. First out of the blocks to condemn Datuk Zaid was Perlis UMNO liason chief Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim saying that Datuk Zaid should repent, start behaving like a Malay and stop questioning the Malay Supremacy concept if not then he (Datuk Zaid) should no longer be a Malay and leave the ’Rumpun Melayu’ (Malay grouping). Didn’t know you can be kick out of your birth race??? If so then Datuk Zaid I’m sure is more than welcomed to be a Chinese or Indian. I’m sure both races with accept him with wide open arms.
Stop questioning the ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ concept even if you know that it had challenge your principles, had negative elements and racist traits???
No, Mr Shahidan. That is not the true Malay way of thinking and behaving. That is the racist ‘UMNO Ultras’ beliefs. These racist ‘UMNO Ultras’ are the ones that should repent!!!
Classic example of these racist “UMNO Ultras’ is Education Minister and out going Youth Chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein. This fellow is yhe perfect brain washed clone as he has no intelligence to think for himself what’s right or wrong, no mouth to speak his own thoughts but the thoughts of his party and superiors.
Criticising Datuk Zaid by saying it is ethically wrong to question the ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ concept since he (Datuk Zaid) is still a member of UMNO. If being a party member and not being able to question your party for its short comings then you must have joined a communist party now didn’t you. Hmmm…..maybe that is just what UMNO is, a modern day Malay communist party.
Funny though was the audacity of Hishammuddin criticizing about ethics. A political party may it be UMNO, MCA, MIC, DAP or Keadilan was formed to ensure national betterment and advancement for the collective good of the Rakyat. That is a true democratic political party’s agenda. When a certain party marginalizes, discriminates, oppresses, manipulates and abuses its power for benefits of its selected members, is this ethically right??? Or when a party leader knows this and chooses to be silent and not do anything about it and worst, hypocrite themselves in to supporting the party cause no matter what, is that ethically correct??? Maybe that is the code of ethics you adhere to when you join UMNO.
No political or race issue can ever be complete without Home Minister and UMNO Supreme Council member Datuk Syed Hamid Albar running his crap hole of a mouth. This ugly bold bully of UMNO always have something to say and with him running in the UMNO party election this December needless to say he is hard at work gaining brownie points for his campaign. If he gets elected and keeps his Home Ministry post which I’m pretty sure he will, then we will have to endure more idiotic crap from this moron.
His half brained criticism is name calling Datuk Zaid as a traitor to his own race. Syed also said that there should be no attempt to deny or tarnish the history of the struggle by the Malays and that Datuk Zaid in practicing his freedom of speech should realize that he should not go to the extend of hurting the feelings of the Malays and that historical realities must not be questioned to prevent potential issues from cropping up. As promised, his idiotic remark was in saying that if Zaid said that the concept of ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ had failed then Datuk Zaid would not have been what he is today and that Zaid was fortunate to be born a Malay.
Datuk Zaid’s fight to liberate the Malays from the crippling ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ concept thinking and dependency is not being a traitor but a savior to his race. Historical realities are not being questioned by Datuk Zaid but he is only trying to advance the Malay intellect that they can and have the abilities to succeed on their own even without privileges. Datuk Zaid came from a poor family and no aid from Government was given to him to achieve his aspirations of being a lawyer. It was through his own merit and hard work that he succeeded in being what he is today. Instead it is the ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ and his dissatisfaction with it that he is no more a minister and a senator today. He did not fail to serve the people through the Government but it was the Government and UMNO that failed him.
The odds are definitely stacked against Datuk Zaid and a break through in reviewing the Malay Supremacy concept might not be something of a reality now but who knows in future. Datuk Zaid Ibrahim’s brave stand in calling the Malays to think and succeed outside the ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ is definitely a step towards the ‘Bangsa Malaysia’ concept. For now he may only have caused a ripple but as we know tsunami tidal waves are made of exactly that.
The Obama of Malaysia – Datuk Zaid Ibrahim!!!
