Dilapurkan pada awalnya Pakatan Rakyat mempunyai masalah dengan nama tapi masalah ini telah diselesaikan Februari lalu apabila mereka menerima cadangan Pendaftar Pertubuhan (ROS) untuk menukar nama kepada Pakatan Rakyat Malaysia.  Itu adalah berita terakhir yang kita tahu mengenai perkembangan pendaftran Pakatan Rakyat kerana selepas itu tidak dimaklumkan apa jua perkembangan mengenainya sedangkan dicanangkan disana sini nama Pakatan Rakyat itu seolah-olahnya ia sudah menjadi pertubuhan yang sah.  Dua pilihanraya kecil terakhir dalam tahun 2010 ini melihatkan  ’komponen’ parti pembangkang ini bertanding atas nama dan lambang parti masing-masing.

Kita yakin Pakatan Rakyat tidak akan dirasmikan seperti mana yang dilaung kepada semua pencacai pembangkang.  Tujuan Pakatan Rakyat ditubuhkan ialah untuk menunjukkan (sebut menipu) kepada rakyat bahawa (sebut kononnya) pembangkang bersatu dan berkongsi satu matlamat melalui apa yang dipanggil Prinsip Asas Pakatan Rakyat.  Melainkan pemansuhan Akta Keselamatan Negeri serta beberapa perkara lain, Prinsip Asas Pakatan Rakyat ini sebenarnya mengekalkan hampir kesemua perkara dan fasal yang ada di dalam perlembagaan sekarang.

Ringkasnya, ia bermaksud, PAS tidak akan melaksanakan hudud dan DAP tidak akan melaksanakan konsep Malaysian Malaysia (ciptaan Lee Kuan Yew), tapi persoalannya benarkah begitu?

PAS sudah membuktikan penerimaannya kepada Prinsip Asas Pakatan Rakyat itu apabila Dewata Rayanya iaitu Nik Aziz Nik Mat mengumumkan disini bahawa PAS ‘tidak semestinya’ (sebut tidak akan) melaksanakan hudud jika Pakatan Rakyat memerintah kerajaan Malaysia.  Ini bersesuaian dengan PAS sebagai sebuah parti yang tidak bermaruah dan mengutamakan kuasa lebih dari yang lain termasuk agama dan prinsip perjuangannya sendiri.

Walaupun dengan pengguguran perlaksanaan hudud boleh menjejaskan undi PAS dari kalangan orang Islam/Melayu, PAS yakin kekurangan ini akan ditampung oleh sokongan daripada pengundi bukan Melayu.  Bagi PKR pula, ia tidak pernah menjadi masalah kerana PKR adalah satu-satunya parti yang kita tidak pasti dengan hala tujuannya melainkan untuk membela manusia bernama anwar ibrahim. 

Bertentangan pula dengan DAP yang masih  belum menggugurkan apa-apa  cadangan dalam konsep Malaysian Malaysianya seperti menghapuskan hak istimewa melayu, agama rasmi dan perkara-perkara ‘melayu’ lain dalam perlembagaan. 

Walaupun kononnya menerima secara prinsip Perkara Asas Pakatan Rakyat yang antaranya menerima hak keistimewaan melayu/bumiputera dan Islam sebagai agama rasmi, pemimpin DAP masih lagi berterusan mencabar hak keistimewaan ini seperti ditunjukkan Tony Phua dalam hal penghapusan diskaun rumah bumiputera, Karpal Singh mempersoalkan ‘tempoh laku’ hak keistimewaan melayu dan sebagainya.

Adalah menjadi satu masalah kepada DAP jika Pakatan Rakyat dirasmikan penubuhannya sebab ia menunjukkan penerimaan ‘rasmi’ DAP ke atas perkara di atas yang boleh menjejaskan peluangnya dalam pilihanraya akan datang.  Orang cina telah meletakkan harapan yang begitu tinggi kepada DAP bagi menguasai kerajaan seterusnya menukarkan negara ini menjadi Singapore ke dua, kalau perlu jadi republik, jadi republiklah.  Orang cina DAP tidak akan mempersoalkan Prinsip Asas Pakatan Rakyat yang diterima DAP ini kerana mereka tahu ia hanya ‘lakunan’ DAP bagi mengukuhkan kedudukannya di kalangan orang melayu, bagaimana pula coma atas pagar dan bangsa lain yang turut menyokong DAP?  Adakah mereka sedar dengan agenda penipu DAP ini?   

Dengan DAP mempunyai kuasa dominan bagi mengekalkan kerajaan pembangkang di Selangor (negeri terkaya di Malaysia) disebalik kecelaruan dalam politik dan kepimpinan PKR, rasmi atau tidak Pakatan Rakyat ini hanya akan ditentukan oleh DAP dan komponen lain dalam pembangkang hanya akan mengikut saja seperti orang bodoh. 

Oleh kerana mereka tiada intergriti dan hanya menjadi boneka kepada satu puak sahaja, kita menyeru kepada semua rakyat Malaysia menolak Pakatan Hantu demi kesinambungan dan kestabilan politik di tanah air tercinta ini.

Saya seronok baca berita-berita yang dikeluarkan terutama tentang apa yang berlaku di Selangor sejak dipegang pembangkang.

Seronok membaca pembongkaran tentang janji-janji manis pembangkang yang ‘cakap tak serupa bikin’ dan berjaya mengabui mata rakyat termasuklah saya untuk mengundi mereka dalam PRU12 dulu. Ternyata kini mereka semua pakar main wayang semata-mata. Bercakap dan berjanji memang mudah, nak mengotakannya lain perkara.

Kalau dapat membongkar pula cerita tentang rumah kuarters exco Selangor di Seksyen 7 yang dulunya jadi modal menghentam kerajaan BN. Saya masih ingatlah janji-janji mereka masih berkempen di padang permainan di Seksyen 7 Shah Alam untuk PRU12 dulu.

Masa itu Hassan Ali berteriak sambil menuding ke arah rumah-rumah eksklusif banglo berkembar itu yang terletak berhampiran padang tempat berkempen dan kata, “Bila kita menang SAHAJA di Selangor ni, kita akan jual rumah-rumah itu dan duitnya kita gunakan untuk manfaat orang Selangor. Atau, kalau tidak jual, kita jadikannya rumah kebajikan!” Kata-kata Hassan Ali itu disambut tepuk sorak gemuruh pada hadirin semua.

Saya nak tahu, apa sudah jadi pada rumah-rumah itu sekarang? Saya duduk di seksyen 7 dan selalu lalu di hadapan rumah-rumah itu dan saya tak nampak pun janji-janji itu dikotakan. Keadaannya masih sama macam ketika BN memerintah Selangor dulu.

Saya sebagai rakyat Selangor mahu tahu apa yang telah dibuat oleh kerajaan Khalid Ibrahim terhadap rumah-rumah itu. Jangan buat tak tahu dengan janji-janji masa nak memancing hati rakyat pada tahun 2008 dulu. Sekarang sudah hampir penghujung 2010.

Kebimbangan yang maksudkan adalah berhubung kemampuan Ismail membebaskan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) dan dirinya sendiri dari cengkaman dan penguasaan politik Umno BN.

“Mampukah Tan Sri Ismail Omar membebaskan diri dia dan PDRM dari kongkongan Umno BN?

“Kebimbangan saya, kerajaan Umno BN akan turut memperalat beliau walaupun saya percaya beliau seorang yang sangat punya prinsip dan integriti yang tinggi,”

“Nama sahaja Polis Diraja Malaysia yang sepatutnya di bawah Yang di-Pertuan Agong, tapi hakikatnya dikuasai politik Umno BN,” katanya.

“Sepatutnya, dengan jasa begitu besar melindungi politik Umno BN, Tan Sri Musa Hassan wajar dikekalkan sebagai ketua polis negara seumur hidup,” Pretikan dari HAPRAK DAILY..

BEAN IS BACK!!..Petikan di atas wak cedok dari Haparak Daily, anda baca dan nilaikan lah sendiri berapa rendah IQ yang dimiliki oleh ahli parlemen tersebut, Tahap bawah lutut atau paras buku lali?. Memang tak sia-sia apabila diberikan gelaran “Mr Bean PAS”. Setiap kali kenyataan yang terkeluar dari mulut beliau pasti kita akan ketawa bila mebacanya…KAH..KAH..KAH..KAH..

Belum lagi ketua polis negara yang baru dilantik secara rasmi, Mr Bean Pas ni dah mula risau tak tentu pasal. Kenapa? Takut-takut ketua polis negara yang baru ni jadi boneka UMNO kelak setelah memegang jawatan nanti. Apa yang PAS nak risaukan, kenapa PAS ada banyak buat salah atau langgar undang-undang ka? Biasanya manusia yang gelabah atau bimbang tak tentu pasal bila jumpa polis ni terdiri dari kalangan penyamun, perogol dan penjahat sahaja. Puak Pakatan macam tu ka!

Sempat juga dia menyindir Yang diPertuan Agong dengan mengatakan kuasa polis bukan di bawah Agong tapi sebaliknya dipegang oleh Umno BN. Macam ini punya orang pun ada.

Tan Sri Musa Hassan bukan seperti wali terompah Nik Ajis yang menjadi pujaan setiap ahli PAS, Kalau boleh ingin memegang jawatan sehingga ke liang lahad, dah tua nyayuk pun masih tak sedar diri. Apabila sudah lama berkhidmat dan sampai masanya untuk berundur, seeloknya beliau berundur. Itu lah cara yang lebih baik buat Musa Hassan, bagi peluang kepada orang lain pula untuk mencurahkan khidmat bakti kepada negara. Jasa anda tetap dikenang sampai bila-bila.

Kalau dulu bukan main takut lagi dengan Musa Hassan. Antara Insan yang paling takut sekali bila berdepan dengan Musa Hassan ini ialah Anuar Al Juburi (Mat Sabu yang kata). Mungkin lepas 13hb Sepetember ni Bang Nuar boleh la rasa lega-lega sikit setelah beberapa tahun dihantui oleh Musa Hassan berhubung kes liwat jantan sama jantan yang sedang dalam proses perbicaraan sekarang ini

Malas wak nak ulas panjang lebar statment yang keluar dari mulut si dungu @ Mr Bean PAS. Dari gaya dan lagak bercakap macam orang pandai, tapi inputnya hampeh!..

TELOR..ZERO..hanya jadi bahan ketawa je. Macam mana la Parlemen Pokok Sena boleh pilih orang yg sebegini untuk mewakili suara mereka. Kalau ada sepuluh orang yang sama perangai macam Mahfuz dekat Malaysia..Boleh lungkup dibuatnya. Hentam saja lah Mahfuz asal elaun tiap-tiap bulan masuk..Layanzzzz

Bekas Ketua Wanita PKR Pulau Pinang, Aminah Abdullah mendakwa, ‘kunci’ itulah yang menjadi senjata utama kepada Azmin untuk mendapatkan apa sahaja yang diingininya tanpa dapat dihalang oleh Presiden PKR, Datin Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Aminah bagaimanapun enggan mendedahkan apa yang dimaksudkan dengan rahsia utama itu kerana yakin ia merupakan sesuatu yang sedia diketahui oleh pihak-pihak berkenaan.

Kini katanya, menjadi kewajipan kepada mereka itu untuk menjelaskannya kepada rakyat.

“Bagi saya memang tidak menghairankan mengapa Anwar dan Wan Azizah tidak dapat memberi penjelasan apabila ditanya mengapa Azmin diberi layanan istimewa dan apa yang Azmin mahu dia akan dapat.

“Ini berlaku kerana Azmin pegang semua rahsia Anwar. Rahsia ini yang memberi kuasa besar pada Azmin ke atas Anwar dan Wan Azizah. Saya yakin satu hari nanti rahsia ini akan terbongkar jua,” katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Aminah mengulas gesaan bekas rakan baik Penasihat PKR tersebut, Datuk S. Nallakarupan yang mencabar Anwar memberikan penjelasan berhubung kedudukan terlalu istimewa yang dinikmati oleh Azmin selama ini.

Azmin selaku Naib Presiden PKR baru-baru ini dilantik sebagai Pengerusi Majlis Pimpinan PKR Selangor menggantikan Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim dan lantikan itu membuktikan kedudukan istimewa Azmin kepada Anwar.

Bagaimanapun sehingga kini cabaran oleh Nallakarupan itu langsung tidak dijawab oleh pasangan suami isteri tersebut.

Selain Nallakarupan, bekas Naib Presiden PKR, Datin Saidatul Badru Tun Said Keruak turut meminta pasangan itu menjelaskan perkara sama tetapi langsung tidak diendahkan oleh mereka berdua.

Tegas Saidatul Badru, Wan Azizah amat perlu membersihkan dirinya daripada terus digelar sebagai ‘presiden boneka’.

Sementara itu, Aminah berkata, beliau amat berharap agar Anwar, Wan Azizah dan Azmin menghayati matlamat dan hala tuju parti yang diasaskan oleh pejuang reformasi tulen sebelum ini tetapi secara tidak amanah telah dipesongkan oleh mereka.

Jelas beliau, itu antara sebab utama mengapa ramai ahli termasuk di kalangan pimpinan PKR bertindak keluar parti.

Katanya, ini kerana mereka ini yang mempunyai maruah dan prinsip perjuangan, tidak lagi sanggup diperkotak-katikkan oleh kepimpinan mempunyai agenda peribadi.

The teenagers were chased and cornered by members of the mosque, who held them for the police. They were charged with disrupting a religious service, a misdemeanor.

The above report appeared in the New York Times.

America it seems, despite the so many contradictions in its social life, is able to distinguish between what is right and wrong. Malaysia compares unfavourably in this department.

In fact this government appears hesitant when dealing with racism-inspired attacks against it. Instead it goes all out to appease the other side in an elaborate exercise that can only be considered as catharsis. The government leadership thinks by appeasing the other side, it’s cleansing itself from guilt.

Because anything the government does is judged on the basis of whether what they do is racist or not. The government has been accused of so many racist-based actions. Hence custodial deaths are seen as the work of some shadowy Malay extremists and scum; the death of an aide to a politician is judged as something done by an oppressive Malay organisation; and how the government handles abuses against the religion of Islam will be seen only in terms of whether its actions are race based. People forget that the most important criterion in judging transgressions, crimes and wrongs committed is whether they are right or wrong.

No moral pontificating, no winding analyses by political windbags and no noises from self-anointed “civil rights” spokesmen. If the rapper Namewee has committed a wrong such as can lead to racial upheavals, he should be punished on the basis of whether he has done right or wrong. The fact that he is Chinese is immaterial.

I can’t reconcile with this idea, that a Chinese is not capable of being a racist while the government, because it’s controlled by Malays, is forever to be condemned as racist.

If this government does anything to non-Malays, it can be considered racist. When two Malay teenagers were caught burning a church in Cheras, the government gave money, and the teenagers were sent to jail for years.

When some Chinese boys desecrated a surau in Negeri Sembilan, the parents of these boys asked for forgiveness and the matter was forgotten.

When the rapper who claims he is an embodiment of 1 Malaysia appeared in another YouTube flick “doin his f*****g thang” complete with vulgar words and lewd gesticulations, “rights” groups quickly came to his defence.

This brings the subject of racism out into the open. It appears only the Malay-led government and Malays in general are capable of racism while non-Malays, because they are in the minority, are absolved from that same charge.

It means also that only certain people can be official “victims” of racism, sexism, and similar offences. So when non-Malay leaders justify whatever actions done by these loonies, they justify this on the basis that non-Malays cannot be racists and Malays cannot be race victims.

No consciences are enlivened by these so-called leaders of conscience, by the Lim Kit Siangs, by the do-gooders of PKR, and so forth. These frauds assault our sensibilities, threaten, and pontificate, but they do not speak at all to our sense of right and wrong.

The porn actor has got it correct this time, if Namewee has done something wrong this time, he must face the music. He is just as capable of committing racism as the Malay boys sentenced to five years’ jail. — sakmongkol.blogspot.com

Many people supported him in the national anthem controversy three years ago as he had won sympathy by mentioning bureaucracy and corruption in the song.

Even though it was disrespectful to playfully indite the national anthem, the Cabinet still accepted his apology and did not take the case to court.

He had also tarnished the image and reputation of his alma mater Chung Hwa High School in Muar, in a vulgar video clip “Teacher Hew ABC Time” in 2008, which resulted in the school board of directors issuing him a legal letter.

This time, even MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, who had helped Namewee to settle the controversy three years ago, endorses actions to be taken by the government against him.

Namewee has done wrong in a few aspects.

First, he should not have launched a personal attack, which is unacceptable in a civil society. How would you feel if your mother and family are insulted with dirty words? Please do not do to others what you do not wish others to do to you.

Secondly, it is unwise for him to come forward during this crucial and sensitive period and stir up more trouble.

Thirdly, when everyone is fully condemning racist remarks and urging the government to punish the principal who allegedly made racist remarks against her non-Malay students, Namewee’s YouTube posting has complicated the matter, giving an opportunity to politicians to divert attention and clear the person who has done wrong.

There might be a rebellious period in the process of growing up but there is a limit to it. Perhaps, Namewee will only mature after experiencing some setbacks.

Namewee is a talented young man and he should apply his talents in more meaningful aspects, such as the charity song “You Still Have Me” he wrote to raise fund for the Taiwanese flood victims.

It is not necessarily to attract attention and enhance your reputation with vulgar language, indecent gestures and obscene facial expressions. One will only lower one’s own standard if his creations are full of such elements.

We also should not think that it is only a personal matter and that of his family as Namewee might represent a phenomenon.

I went through the messages posted on Namewee’s Facebook page and found that many young people tended to sympathise and support him. It is indeed their freedom of expression, but there is one thing worrying, namely many people are unable to distinguish between national management and mutual respect for all races.

Indeed, there are many problems in our national management, including unfair policies, corruption and the lack of execution capability. But these have nothing to do with races. We cannot hate anyone because of these problems. The key is to solve the management problems.

When parents are teaching their children at home, they should not instill hatred to avoid turning discontentment into an extreme mindset.

We must recognise and accept the reality. This is a multi-racial country. So what even if you win the war of words? Mutual communication, respect and trust are the correct path. — mysinchew.com

DAP disciplinary committee chairman Tan Kok Wai made the announcement in a statement today, explaining that the duo had been found guilty of breaching party discipline.

“Both Yap and Ong were found to have committed direct conflict of interest which is in breach of party discipline when the former issued a letter of support under the letterhead of the Pandamaran Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK) in favour of a business where both are partners,” he said in the statement.

Tan noted that Yap and Ong were both chairman and vice-chairman of the Pasar Pandamaran DAP branch respectively at the time of their alleged wrongdoing.

“They have 14 days from the date of the disciplinary action to appeal in writing against the decision to the party’s central executive committee,” he added.

Last month, the state government suspended Yap from his position as Pandamaran new village head for attempting to use the support letter to obtain a contract from the Klang Municipal Council for his company.

Both Yap and Ong were accused of having applied for a contract to maintain and clean river floodgates.

Yap had also admitted to issuing the support letter, but with the endorsement of Selangor state executive councillor Ronnie Liu, who has also come under fire for his involvement in the issue.

He was reported to have said that he had used the company to get the job for the Pandamaran JKKK to help pay the utility bills for village facilities.

The DAP had earlier let off Liu with a “severe reprimand” for failing to run his office professionally during the first letterhead scandal involving Klang councillor Tee Boon Hock.

Tee was accused of forging Liu’s signature to issue support letters to obtain contracts worth over RM1 million for 16 companies, one of which is co-owned by his son Chin Chin.

Tee has since been expelled from DAP and sacked as a councillor and Liu was found partially responsible for the actions of his former aide.

Since then, there has been mounting pressure from many DAP leaders calling for Liu’s resignation.

Dr Ling, the former transport minister in Dr Mahathir’s Cabinet, said today he was thankful to the former PM for his “generous” offer to testify in his PKFZ cheating trial.

The former MCA president said his ex-boss’s testimony was important because he chaired Cabinet meetings.

“I would like to say thank you very much to him because that is very generous of him because he was chairing the Cabinet meeting and I am being charged for cheating the whole Cabinet so all these witnesses are very important,” he told reporters at the Sessions Court here today.

Dr Mahathir has said that he will testify in the former transport minister’s trial if the court subpoenas him.

The former PM had also pointed out that Dr Ling is innocent until proven guilty.

Dr Ling said that if Dr Mahathir testifies that the Cabinet was cheated, then he would indeed be guilty.

“If they bear witness that they were cheated then I am guilty. If they bear witness that I cheated then there is a case for trial,” he added.

Dr Ling, 67, is charged with cheating the government by misleading the Cabinet helmed by Dr Mahathir on the land acquisition for the PKFZ project.

The PKFZ project was mooted during his term as transport minister and the cost of the project, initially estimated at less than RM2 billion, more than doubled to RM4.6 billion by 2007.

The total bill for the project is expected to swell to as much as RM12.5 billion due to interest costs from deferred payments, if the trans-shipment hub fails to perform.

He faces up to seven years in jail and a fine under the Penal Code, if found guilty.

The friendship between the two doctors dates back to the 1980s when Dr Ling helped hold the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) together as the MCA president while Dr Mahathir struggled to unite the splintered Umno. Both retired from Cabinet the same year — Dr Ling in May 2003, and Dr Mahathir five months later.

Dr Ling also dismissed speculation that he has been made a scapegoat for the scandal.

“When you are in the palace of justice, don’t talk about scapegoat,” he said.

Last year, The Malaysian Insider reported that Dr Ling had told the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) probing the scandal-ridden PKFZ that it was Dr Mahathir who oversaw the project’s land valuation.

In the verbatim of the PAC meeting procedures, the former MCA president pointed out that the costing and valuation of the land was determined by the Valuation and Property Services Department which was chaired by Dr Mahathir, who was the then finance minister.

“Our job in Ministry of Transport is to only state the fact that we want the land. Costings, valuations and all that, it is not the function of the Ministry of Transport. We do not have a valuation department.

“Costings and valuations is a question for the Treasury to deal with. They have the Valuation Department and everything is there, not in Ministry of Transport. I think [it was] Tun Dr Mahathir who chaired it, and he was the finance minister also. He saw it very clearly. That was the fact of the case,” Dr Ling said in the verbatim report.
