Pak Lah still getting stick...

I know... I know... Pak Lah has resigned and we should leave him alone. But who can resist if he still wants to be in the limelight. I am talking about his appointment as MAS advisor. Read Husin Lempoyang's comments and Mesin Taip Buruk's. Even Tun Dr. Mahathir mocks his appointment... read here. Supposly ex-PM will be the advisor of Petronas... but since Tun Dr. Mahathir is still alive and breathing and still the advisor, Najib has to put Pak Lah somewhere... kat MAS pun jadi lah... hehehe... wondering what advice Pak Lah can give to MAS... if you read Mesin Taip Buruk 's writing... I don't think Pak Lah can give any... except maybe advice to make the seats more comfy so people can zzzzzzzzzz better ;)

I say leave Pak Lah alone... he has enough stick already what... ni ada chance nak dapat tiket free gi Australia pun ada orang nak kacau... hehehe.

Hands off IJN...

Are the people in the government deaf? Are they so desperate... so full of greed that they are now behaving like the devil's incarnate and might I say behaving just like the Zionist attacking Gaza right now. Get your dirty hands of IJN. It is built for the people... not meant to be a commercial institute but a centre of research, a premier academic institute as said so here. Even the grand daddy of privatisation disagrees.

It seems that the EPU is very insistent in the privatisation while MOF oppose it (read here). Tsk... tsk... EPU is under the PM Department which will only pinpoint to Pak Lah. Enough is enough... this PM is truly destroying the foundations of this country. Is this one of your unfinished work you must do before you step down? The RM400 million is truly mouth watering... 7 keturunan tak habis makan eh?

Stop justifying this privatisation by saying that this will benefit the people... that the welfare of the people will be taken care of. Do they think we are dumb? To commercialize IJN means that it will become a company and becomes a business. And business is all about making money... where is the welfare in that? Stop the lies.. stop this crap. Leave IJN alone... and leave now Pak Lah.

The Mumblings of a grumpy old Prime Minister...

It has been a long time since I updated my blog... have a reason for it. If you see my profile... I am now at Manchester, UK. I just got my internet set-up in my new home... and I can tell you its a bloody hassle. Customer service around here is as slow as snail... if you think TM is slow... most of the British utilities companies are much more worse.

Got internet and immediately read all the blog postings of my favourite bloggers. Tun Dr. Mahathir has pen his thoughts on the upcoming UMNO Elections. Thought it was a decent enough article... nothing to be angry about... but... tsk... tsk... tsk...

KOTA KINABALU: The gloves came off yesterday. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's patience finally wore off and he lambasted his predecessor, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Abdullah said Dr Mahathir was acting as if it was he (Dr Mahathir) who should determine who played what role in the party.

"Who is he ? He has left Umno but he still issues orders to members of Umno. The party does not need to take orders from anyone who is no longer a member of the party," said Abdullah who was here to attend the Hari Malaysia and closing of the Merdeka month celebrations.

"He is trying to create a rift and (incite) anger and hatred. What is wrong with people who work with me? He is trying to teach people to hate one another.

The Umno president said this in referring to a posting on Dr Mahathir's blog, calling on Umno to rid itself of all those who supported Abdullah, referring to them as "toadies".

Abdullah also criticised International Trade and Industry Minister Muhyiddin for not respecting the decision that had been made by the party's supreme council for the Umno elections to be held in March, by calling for an earlier date.

"Is he so impatient to become the deputy prime minister? That is, if he gets the support. What is the meaning of all this? I am not happy with this.

"When I decided not to contest, I did so to prevent a split among members. (Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri) Najib and I have agreed on this. I have explained to him why I need (more) time. He agreed and so did the supreme council.

"Is he trying to stop me from making reforms?" Abdullah asked, saying he did not discount the possibility that the criticisms and call for the elections to be held in December were aimed at getting him out earlier from his position as prime minister.

"I will be ready to go when my work is done. No supreme council member disagreed (with his decision) and suddenly this comes up."

Umno members, he said, would not be fooled by people who tried to create anger and hatred. - nst

Tsk... tsk... tsk... What more do you want Pak Lah? What reforms do you want to do in this couple of months? For God sake... you had 5 years to do it... but I guess you are too bzzzzzz ;) Tun are only advice Najib to not follow your footsteps... which means chuck out your lousy, kiss ass advisors and cronies.

And what is this 'Bapa Demokrasi' Koh Tsu Koon suggesting? Please la... you don't deserve any 'Bapa' gelaran whether its 'Bapa Pembohong Tegar', 'Bapa Flip Flop' more so 'Bapa Demokrasi'. Its better if history remembers you as the only Malaysia PM which has no 'Bapa' gelaran so that when my sons and my grandsons ask me why, I can just say he did nothing for the country so people just want to forget the period of flip-flop decisions and unfulfilled promises.

Step down now Pak Lah... and stop grumbling and blaming others for your incompetence.

Pak Lah takes Defence, Najib takes Finance...

This was taken from Malaysia Today...

(The Malaysian Insider) In a minor Cabinet reshuffle today, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi named his deputy Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak as finance minister.

Abdullah, who was the finance minister, will take over Najib's defence ministry portfolio. He said he may step down sooner than 2010.

The swap was announced after today's Cabinet meeting.

Najib has also been made deputy chairman of Khazanah Nasional.

Today's announcement comes amid widespread speculation over a transition plan hammered out between the country's top two leaders for Najib to take over power in 2010.

Said Abdullah today:' "The transition is flexible. It is up to me. It will be no later than 2010 but it may be sooner."

Abdullah added that he would also offer himself as a candidate to be Umno president while Najib would stand as deputy president at this year's Umno elections.

Najib, who was also at the press conference, said: "I would like to thank the prime minister for his confidence.

"Giving me this post shows he is magnanimous, it shows his sincerity in picking me as his successor."

Sources said Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz is also expected to be named de facto law minister to replace Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, who quit this week over the Internal Security Act (ISA) arrests of DAP leader Teresa Kok and two others.

What's the matter Pak Lah... afraid of a coup d’état..?

Another blogger arrested...

My favorite blogger Sheih a.k.a Kickdefella has been arrested under Sedation Act. For more news click Nuraina's blog and Rocky Bru's. They are not using the ISA... hemmm... smart move.

No news what the charges are but I think Sheih was arrest because of his upside down flag campaign. Pak Lah called him evil guy for leading the campaign. Wonder what he thinks of this...

PM in distress

Its high time for Pak Lah to step down... Undur Lah...

If you still have some dignity left... resign please Pak Lah aka PM in distress. I don't know what is playing inside the thick skull of yours. I don't know how you manage to carry on meeting the public with the thick face of yours. Two of your lieutenants (well not exactly lieutenants... but you get my drift) have spoken... directly or indirectly... resign gracefully now or face being remove. Your plan of handing over power in 2010 is not feasible and undemocratic. Hell... you think that the UMNO presidency is like a harta pusaka?... can be handed over to your favorite person? MT only endorse your proposal but it is up to the grassroots to decide who should lead. Please take note below:

“Article 9(3) of the party Constitution says that the party president, deputy president and all supreme council members have to be decided by the members,”

Najib is being a gentlemen by asking indirectly for you to step down now. Najib wants UMNO delegates to decide. Can't you read between the lines..? Or are you still bzzzzz..? Thought you have a lot of work to do ;) 

Muhyidin is also a gentlemen... albeit a bit more direct by merely asking you to revise the transition plan. Tak paham-paham lagi ke?

Be a gentlemen and step down gracefully. Your statement of transition plan was a done deal does not hold water. Like I said... read Article 9(3) of the party Constitution. Do you think UMNO is owned by you? I like to quote:

The people do not want us to spend all our time politicking as then there will be no solution to their problems - Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi

Stay true to your words... stop politicking and step down now... else there will be no solution to the nations problem.

I make you a deal... step down now and I will stop doing this...
Deal..?

Crappy day for RPK and others...

Meant to post this early but me being extra busy vacating my house means I don't have access to internet. Its a crappy day for RPK yesterday. He was detained under ISA section 73 at 13:10. Read here and here for more details. Two days ago they lift the ban on Malaysia Today... then they arrest him. See Pak Lah is doing his famous flip... flop... flup.... ban and then un-ban. Now he doesn't know how to handle things... he uses the ISA... the draconian act... arresting people with out trial. This is the Islam Had...hari that he is promoting.

Now the crackdown widens... MP Teresa Kok and Sin Chew Daily journalist Tan Hoon Cheng were also arrested under the Act. Read here and here on their arrest. Will this be another OPS Lalang? Only time will tell. But it seems now that Pak Lah has no balls and have to resort to ISA. Why use the ISA when you have other appropriate laws that you can use? People... this is the true Pak Lah... a plank-of-wood leader who don't know a thing about leading Malaysia. He and his minions should be thrown out of this Government. He is truly a PM in distress.Anwar... as much as I hate to say this... go on with your 916 thingy... if you can muster it... hell go for it. As long as Pak Lah is out... I'm happy...

UMNO people... do your duty... let Ku Li be UMNO President... What more signs do you guys want? Tun Dr. Mahathir has pledge support. Dulu dok cium tangan dia macam tak ingat punya... sekarang dengar le cakap dia. You want to wait for 2010? Muhyiddin also thinks its too long... too late. Don't believe Pak Lah's statement that he got plenty things to do... hell... Najib can handle what he wants to do now. Try and read from Husin Lempoyang. You get the idea why Pak Lah wants to stay longer.

The Government blocks Malaysia Today...

Pak Lah government made another boo-boo. They are blocking my favorite website... Malaysia Today despite Malaysia's promise to the world that the Government of this country will not censor the Internet. Just like Rocky posting... we are telling foreign investors to go and fly kite elsewhere... read Google, Go Away! Read also below:

Government to target blogosphere next

Malaysian Insider (26/8/08) Next up: a crackdown on bloggers. This possibility looms large after the government reached a sober assessment that it could all end in tears for the Barisan Nasional at the next general election if tough action is not taken to counter allegations on the Net and hold owners of blogs accountable.

This conclusion was reached during a meeting last week involving several Cabinet ministers and senior government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Government officials noted that some 400,000 new voters are registered each year. Assuming that the next polls are in five years, there would be two million new voters the next time the BN seeks a fresh mandate. A large chunk of these two million voters are likely to obtain their news and information from websites and blogs, and not from the mainstream media.

Several ministers noted that if the government followed its current policy of allowing allegations by bloggers to go unchallenged, this would create the perception that the information being posted is accurate.

"There is a growing consensus in government that those who run websites and blogs should be held accountable and this means that laws should be used to take action against those who defame and spread disinformation.

"If not, we are going to have a situation where everyone will be free to make all sorts of allegations with no downside at all. There is a fear that the trust level with BN would be very low if nothing is done, '' said a senior government official familiar with details of the meeting.

The prevailing mood in the government against the alternative media is one of frustration. After decades of being able to control newspapers and television stations through a raft of legislation, government officials and politicians are finding that their tools are useless in setting boundaries for new media.

At last week's meeting, an official of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) explained that the authorities have not come down hard on websites and bloggers because Section 3 of the Communications and Multimedia Act prohibits any form of censorship.

But government officials corrected him and said that the guarantee that the Internet would not be censored did not preclude legal action from being taken against bloggers for defamation and sedition.

They pointed out that the Singapore government had hauled several bloggers to court for a series of offences and suggested that the Malaysian government should follow suit. In the aftermath of Election 2008, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said that the government paid a heavy price by allowing accusations and reports on the Internet to go unchallenged.

He said that the BN underestimated the power of the Internet and committed a serious misjudgment by relying on the mainstream media in the run-up to the general election. His comments resulted in the Information Ministry reaching out to some prominent bloggers and giving them some air-time on television but by and large the relationship between the alternative media and the government has remained testy.

In recent months, Raja Petra Kamaruddin, the country's best-known political blogger, has had a running battle with Najib and his wife, implicating both of them in the October 2006 murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shariibuu. The DPM has also been on the receiving end of other damaging allegations.

His supporters in Umno have been pushing for a more hardnosed approach in dealing with bloggers and operators of news portals, arguing that the softer touch by the Abdullah administration has resulted in daily attacks on ministers and BN politicians.

Critics of the government said that instead of focusing on bloggers and the alternative media, they should strive for more accountability and transparency, and remove the shackles on the mainstream media.

But I can still read Malaysia today :P and they are fighting back... read Yeh, yeh, kita menang! When will the Government learn that in this day and age you can't censor the internet. This really shows how dumb Pak Lah is. Tun Dr. Mahathir didn't censor the internet during his tenure even though Malaysia Today bashed him like hell.

The PM is totally gone bonkers. He is really in distress. This poor bugger doesn't realize that people are feed up with him. Permatang Pauh by-election shows the reality... Anwar won big time... bigger majority... UMNO's vote were down from previous... even UMNO people vote for Anwar. It is high time for UMNO guys to kick this fella out now. What the people want is CHANGE... and people don't care if Anwar is a sodomite or a big liar because he promises change... and he shows he can deliver change. So people of UMNO... show that you guys can also change... kick Pak Lah out now! Read Tun Dr. Mahathir's posting Permatang Pauh. Kick Pak Lah now or UMNO will be the opposition come next election... baru padan muka seko-seko.

You guys can still link to Malaysia Today through my 'Blogs I click' :D

Evil blogger..?

Yesterday was my birthday. Been busy for the past couple of weeks... hence no time to update my blog. But I managed to read a couple of postings from other blogs and the news...

Our PM has gone bonkers... really. Instead of concentrating on the nation's well being and its economy, this guy is hooting around calling bloggers evil... just because of flying the Jalur Gemilang upside down. You can read his stupid comment here. Hey... I'm myself don't like the Jalur Gemilang upside down... it looks ugly... and I love me flag. But that does not warrant being called evil. I agree with Rocky on is posting... rapist, murderers... they are evil... not people who turn their flag's upside down. Flag upside down = distress... you moron. Examples as below:

In distress

In distress

Errr... seriously... its upside down... still the same? Tak distress kot.

You must know the reason why these people turn their beloved country's flag upside down... not resorting to calling people evil and abuse your power to ask the police to go and make an arrest. Go and read Tun Dr. Mahathir posts Merdeka. I totally agree with him.

Don't waste your time on petty things. Don't waste police time on this. While on the topic of wasting time... Pak Lah... resign terus la... letih la suruh banyak kali... wasting our time. Well... I'm still posting this upside down.

PM in distress

Funny email circulating...

Heard about this email... read it in Perisik Rakyat posting in The Candidate. So... I cut and paste it here... wonder if Pak Lah ever thinked of facing Anwar face to face...

PM: Okay people, you all know we have to face Anwar in Permatang Pauh and that is not exactly kacang puteh, so we must get the best candidate or we will be eaten alive.

Najib: Actually there is only one candidate here who can fight him there and he hails from a nearby constituency.

PM: Who, who? Call him now.

Najib: Its you Pak Lah. Only you can win there. I suggest you resign your seat and take on Anwar in PP. As for KB, it is a safe seat.

PM: Wow, what a good idea. When he trashed me real good, I will be without a seat in government and an easy target in our own elections in December. Very clever ha you. Why not you go there?

Najib: Cannot la. I am not from the North and the people are blaming me for that sodomy case so they won't take too kindly to me. I still believe you are the best candidate la.

PM: I know you la Najib. Okay, I could do it but when I resign, Khairy will act as the PM. You agree?

Najib: Er, er, it was just an idea la, and I can see that it is a bad one. Forget it la.

Samy: Er, Pak Lah. I also can. I have no seat now so I am free.

PM: Samy why don't you stop joking? We are serious you know.

Samy: I am serious la. Why you think I Indian, I cannot win in Permatang Pauh ka?

Najib: Hey Samy you can't even beat a Muslim fundamentalist if you were to contest in Mumbai la.

Annuar: Like this la. Lets accept facts, we know we are going to lose. Last I heard, punters are willing to kuyu BN about 5000 votes, its a lost cause la. Why not we say we are fed-up with them playing a fool with the elections and boycott the by elections.

PM: You mean run away?

Annuar: If we lose with a smaller majority, Anwar will still get in but if we lose with a bigger majority, malu and mampoih la.

Samy: Why must lose with bigger majority?

Annuar: In March no sodomy case also we lost by nearly 14K votes, now got sodomy charges and everyone don't believe it, so what happen?

Muhyidin: I think we put Ezam la. If anybody is going to get slaughtered let it be him.

Nazri: Why not the last candidate, Uz Firdaus?

PM: I heard he is afraid that if he loses, his chances for Ketua Bahagian would be lost.

Samy: I know, I know. We put that Sepol fellow. In our posters we put a picture of his arsehole. Surely can get sympathy one.

Kayveas: Hey Samy, you go play outside with the Puteri UMNO la, kacau only. Talk like retarded boy only. Chit.

Samy: Hey Kayveas, what you say? I cannot tahan you already la, come la if you are brave.

PM: Shut up you two. Go to the corner there and turn towards the wall. Go now.

Nazri: What did Tan Sri Rashid say?

PM: Not enough time to bring the Nepalese, Tibetans and Eskimos here. We have run out of ICs to issue.

Samy: Hey Najib, what about your wife? Nowadays everybody is afraid of her what. Put her la. Surely very explosive affair one.

Najib: Shut up la you. What my wife did to you that you want to talk about her like that? You want me to call her here ka?

Samy: Haiyo, no la. Joking only la. I want to die in one piece.

PM: We still do not have a candidate.

Najib: No matter who the candidate is we will still lose so why bother with a strong one? Lets just put in someone insignificant and let him be slaughtered.

PM: Yes I agree. Aaaa, Samy! Samy! Are you really interested in Permatang Pauh?

PM in distress

Penarik Beca arrested...

One of my favourite blogger, Penarik Beca was arrested last night at his home. The arrest was done under the Sedition Act. Read more from Kickdefella in Penarik Beca in Police Custody.
Today is not a good day. I am coughing like a dog... got up late because lack of sleep (because of the cough)... got into massive traffic jam because of the bloody roadblocks the police have errect... just because they are charging Anwar for the sodomy case. Why roadblocks..? It's anybody's guess... but for me its shows police stupidity (the police superiors)... no offence to the lower ranking ones... korang pun sure menyampah buat roadblock ni... tengok muka pun tau.

And then this arrest news... under Sedition Act... really makes my blood boil. Don't know what is seditious in Bakaq's writings... his last writing was about Rafidah's proposal of power transfer to her deputy Sharizat... he commented that it does not goes well with the Wanita UMNO's grassroot... does not look democratic at all. Nothing seditious at all.

I guess he got arrested because of his second last posting. You all can read the last two postings 'Sentuhan kecundang' here and 'Hukuman ke atas kaki rasuah' here.

No cheers for today... the country is really going down the drain... all because of this guy... he is really under distress. That is why I am displaying this...

Upside down...

One of me favourite blogger Kickdefella has started this campaign as a mark of protest. If anyone have a reason to disagree with the manner the country is heading, then you have a cause to join him and raise the Malaysian flag 'Jalur Gemilang' upside down. The upside down flag is accepted as official signal of distress. By displaying it properly, it is not meant to be or it is not recognised as any type of disrespect.
Read his entry on why he is doing this here.

Looks like the campaign is getting its momentum as many are now joining him as shown here and here.

Me... I support what Kickdefella is doing 100%... but I like Topengperak_Xinwugi's idea more. I like my country flag the way it is (although it resembles the US)... looks horrible if it is upside down. So I will follow the blog Perisik Rakyat. It is the PM that I am angry with so it is the PM's picture that I will post upside down. No qualms to anybody that wants to raise their flags upside down... but to the ones who does not have the heart to but are frustrated with the way the nation is handled... how about doing this for a change ;) . I'm joining Perisik Rakyat's campaign...
Tak hormat pemimpin? Piiirahh... ini pemimpin tak hormat rakyat.

Apologists... apa tu? Oh... Ass Kissers...

Read Tun Dr. Mahathir's new posting The Apologists. Really... I didn't know what Tun meant by apologist until the end of the posting.

Ass kissers... awat tak khabaq awai-awai. Well Tun... you were surrounded by these people when you were the UMNO President. Now Pak Lah is surrounded by these kind of people. But the ones surrounding Pak Lah is different from yours. They like kissing asses and they have no balls... serious... the keris waving rhetoric acts as a diversion so that nobody notice that they are a bunch of wussies... with yet again... no balls. As an extra cover... they do this... the classic ass kisser secret hand shake...Tak ingat brader ni... siap amik bau. Amacam... ada bau kari ke kurma..?

Inside UMNO Supreme Council and the Cabinet, Tun never gets the overall support as strong as Pak Lah's. Well Tun... you didn't do this last time while you are PM...Ass kissers with no balls are afraid of this stance... 'The Death Finger'. I heard if you get the 'finger'... no post and no job... how to eat? Master this 'finger'... and you get full support... from ass-kissers-with-no-balls ;) .

3 million hits in two months... going strong Tun... going strong. Not bad for an ex-dictator-blogger ;) . You... dictator..? Sorry Tun... you are not qualified.

Can we trust Pak Lah?

Taken from The Star.

"PM: No more petrol price increase this year."

Most of the blogs I read ask this question...

"Can we believe Pak Lah's word?"

In Malay...

"Boleh caya ke cakap Pak Lah ni?"

I didn't raise this question... she raised it, he asked, he questioned, he speculated, he wondered...

Do I need to comment? I'll leave you with this pantun.

Siakap senohong,
Gelama ikan duri,
Selalu cakap bohong,
Lama-lama orang dah tak percaya lagi...

And on other note... just want to post this receipt as a reminder for me... last time a 38 liter fuel fill up cost me around RM73 (banyak tuu)... now...
RM103!!! (lagi banyak tuu) :o
