<div style="text-align: justify;">
The New Straits Times, one of the mainstream newspaper in Malaysia, controls by the ruling party, Umno, reported in 2009 that Xenophon, an Australian senator being anti-Islam and supportive of the "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender" (LGBT) movements. Zahrain, an ex-opposition Member of Parliament (MP) for Bayan Baru constituency who betrayed the Opposition pack as well as the voters, was "quick" to comment. He made the following comments without verifying for the facts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zahrain said "Xenophon not only was very outspoken against Islam, but also defended the LGBT issue.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Should we let someone like Xenophon influence our culture and moral
values through politics? By confiding in Xenophon, is Anwar also
supporting the LGBT movement?” he asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I also challenge Pas’ ulama to question Anwar on why he sought
Xenophon as a confidant, as clearly Xenophon stands against Islamic
values.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the truth prevails and the New Straits Times has to apologies for fabricating the story by intentionally replaced the word "Scientology" with "Islam" in Xenophon's statement. This is slanderous. The New Straits Times has committed a crime and Zahrain is the accomplice.</div>

Previously it got the non-Malay votes by scaring them with the spectra of May 13 and made used of the leaders of the BN component parties to influence their respective ethnic groups.<br /><br />But in 2008, thanks mainly to the internet, many Malaysians realised that BN was essentially made up of a bunch of crooks and thieves who were siphoning off their money on a massive scale and sent a clear message through the ballot box. The many scandals (e.g. Altantuya, IPPs, NFC, Scorpenes) and the revelations by the AG indicate that in 2011 the BN thieves and their cronies could have stolen a whopping RM60 billion. Most Malaysian are disgusted and fed up with the BN thieves and these crooks can sense that they might lose the next elections and be brought to justice. Hence they are likely to use every dirty and crooked method they can think of to remain in power.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-40888832315804576302011-11-21T00:26:00.003+11:002011-11-21T00:36:34.670+11:00NFC ScandalIt is ridiculous! The National Feedlot Corporation CEO, Mohammad Salleh Ismail says the ‘renegade staff' were wrong in their allegations. Why blame the whistleblowers for NFC's problems? If NFC has nothing to hide, then there isn't anything thing to fear from the information given by the whistleblowers.<br />In order to protect the whistleblowers, the police should instead investigate the information revealed by the whistleblowers. And the identity of the whistleblowers must not be revealed as all costs.<br />Since it is the auditor-general (AG) mentioned NFC's mismanagement in the audit report. If Mohamad Salleh has any bone to pick, he should pick it with the AG and not his staff or any other person.<br />Knowing how things work in Malaysia, I guess the whistleblowers will be investigated instead and the culprit will get away while the innocent and small-fry get persecuted.<br /><br />Muhyiddin Yassin, we would like to see how intelligent are you to resolve this problem. So far, your comments on the NFC issues has reflected inferior quality in you as DPM.<br /><br />Save Malaysia!

I think that is the very basic prinple in journalism. We a readers knows best and will focus on the issue rather than the way the issue being brought up.<br /><br />For Ezam to wage a jihad against MK & MI, I wonder who is Ezam to do so? I find that the term "jihad" has been abused by our politicians to justify the wrong thing they do. What about launching jihad against those who are using a mosque to spew hatred and threats of violence?<br /><br />Strangely, at least not in my memory that believers from other religions ever threatened to burn down other people's premises. Why do we have muslim who behave like a ganster in a civilised country like Malaysia? Ezam who threatened to 'burn down' the two news portals are behaving no better than the hooligans in England who caused so much damage to the country's image.<br /><br />So far, the issue has yet to be concluded and Utusan is no angel in playing up this issue. When these people speak, their source information is always quoted as "based on a reliable source". They have not provided any credible evidence or allowed the people whom they accuse to defend themselves in an open court. Isn't this against Islam? .<br /><br />People who claim to be Muslims and want to speak on behalf of Muslims must first undertstand what Islam is all about. It takes only a small number of immoral muslims to damage the reputation of the majority. People like Ezam and Zulkifli are nothing more than a political prostitute, they are damaging the image of Islam and Muslims. They prostituted themselves to serve UMNO.<br /><br />Ezam is the one politicised the matter, and he is a senator. Please bear in mind that not only you can launch jihad, non-muslim or muslim with the right mind could also send you to hell and we don't tell you how, when and what we will do......sound familiar?<br /><br />P.s. After all the shouting outside the state mosque, I hope Ezam did not drink water until Maghrib. Don't break the fasting rules in the name of jihad. Your god is watching!.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-54875400075078701242011-07-21T15:20:00.005+10:002011-07-21T15:31:39.585+10:00Censorship On "The Economist" & UtusanKalau ikut standard tapisan atau suntingan Kementerian Dalam Negeri terhadap Majalah The Economist.

Who Cares?I’m not impressed with what Najib said about the Chinese representative in the government. To me, everything comes out from the stinky mouth of the Umnoputra are about racism. This is Umno core value.<br /><a href="http://charlie-soong.blogspot.com/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 347px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 207px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601635629134413794" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xoWtTIj1Gvs/Tb0B7Qu6f-I/AAAAAAAAAL0/VQEBjKlyWPA/s320/MCA.jpg" /></a>We live our lives as usual, with or without MCA minister. Only the MCA cronies want to fight for a minister post. It should not even be an issue if there is no Chinese representative in the cabinet. Rightfully, a person who is appointed as a minister should be colour blind when he carrying out his duties. He should not have give preferential treatment to any race group. Apparently, Malaysia has its own standard where everything is race based.<br /><br />Personally, I think it is OK not to have Chinese ministers in the cabinet, on the ground that the the cabinet post allocation is not base on merit. These less important minister portfolios were given to MCA just something symbolic under BN’s power sharing spirit. Hence, it makes no different who is there to serve the people. i.e. I mean, non-MCA chaps may do a better job<br /><br />As a rightful Malaysia citizen of Chinese descends, it is regrettable that the Chinese, known for being excellent in both business and finance related fields, were not appointed as ministers for the above ministry since 1974. For instance, after Tun Tan Siew Sin’s resignation in 1974, there was no non-malay ever appointed as Finance Minister (except for the Mamak who appointed himself. I insist that mamak is non-malay, no matter what they claim themselves to be). Same in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). After Dr. Lim Swee Aun in 1969, the minister posts were held only by the candidates from Umno.<br /><br />I’m puzzled, if people like Muhyiddin Yassin can be appointed a minister for MITI, I don’t see any reason why MCA’s men not qualified for the job. I believe this happened because of Umno’s racist core value rather than there was no competent candidate from MCA or other BN component parties that can take up the post.<br /><br />If Umno dares to ignore the Chinese appeals. Go ahead and fight only for the Malay votes which are also shared by PKR & PAS. See if Umno can continue to rule without the support of the chinese.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-83311832201656120562011-04-30T19:36:00.006+10:002011-04-30T19:45:24.628+10:00Utusan's frontpage news is a joke<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://charlie-soong.blogspot.com/"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6FTGjlRSbao/TbvZfhscbcI/AAAAAAAAALg/Miv5GMRDs2Y/s320/muka_hadapan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601309697209298370" border="0" /></a><br />Today's Utusan frontpage is about Eskay religious oath on the sex video clip. Why is this so important until it can occupy almost the full page? Is it true that they worry about someone who is immoral going to lead this country soon? The fact is, Anwar is not even half way to Putrajaya. Why is Umno so desperate?<br /><br />It is clear that Umno is trying to do thing at all costs just to bring down Anwar Ibrahim.<br /><br />It is worrying, the direction our country is heading toward.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-31263738894700376492011-04-30T19:32:00.002+10:002011-05-01T01:23:14.949+10:00Perkasa! just like Utusan. Like to talk without factsIn response to Perkasa’s protest at MCA’s Head Quarter and their Secretary-General’s claims that “Malays leaving country too due couldn’t get a job offer from the private sector”. It is again shows that Perkasa is good at twisting facts upside down (because in their mind, Malay is Tuan so they can say whatever they want, even if it is wrong). For the claim that Malay too is leaving Malaysia, I’m sure there are. But is Perkasa here to magnify the maybe 0.5% or 1% of Malay leaving the country? Is Perkasa’s findings is more prestige then the one published by World Bank. Maybe Syed Hassan can share with us the numbers, especially what are these overseas Malays are doing. Don’t just talk without facts.<br /><br />On the other hand, I hate to think this but is has become very clear that the Malay in this country has been greatly influenced by the mamaks. In Penang, we have the joker KIMMA head and now NGO Perkasa’s Secretary-General. Of course, don’t forget the father of the racist who led this country for 22 years.<br /><br />In fact, these mamaks have one thing in common, they keep reminding the Malays that they cannot compete with other races and they must depend on government’s hand-out. Be aware, the mamak is not leaving the country. They are here to stay.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-47022933654475630902011-01-05T00:58:00.004+11:002011-01-05T01:21:04.221+11:00The Ugly Barisan NationalBN has lost its mind. When people voted Pakatan Rakyat into power, BN not happy and trying to, at all costs take back the states. First in Perak and now in Selangor. Does BN really respect rakyat's choice of the government of the day?<br /><br />It is no brainer, even BN would not appoint a PR friendly candidate to replace the Chief Secretary, Mohd Sidek Hassan? I urge the BN and gang, including sultan's private secretary Mohamad Munir Bani to stop all these nonsense and do not manipulate Sultan's statements. <br /><br />If BN wants to win back the heart of Selangor's voters, do it the convincing ways instead of sabotaging the PR state government. <br /><br />Nevertheless, if the appointment of Mohammed Khusrin Munawi as Selangor's state secretary is Sultan's decision, because Tuanku think that Khusrin can work well with the current Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, by all mean go ahead to do it. Sultan cannot be wrong and we citizen must believe that Sultan must have considered this thoroughly and put Selangor interest first before everything else. <br /><br />Daulat Tuanku!

I learnt from Utusan Malaysia by putting a question mark behind the title in order to escape the responsibility. This is what Utusan good at.<br /><br />I read this news from Malaysia-Today.net. Well! I'm not sure if the policemen's behaviour consider "intimidating". In my opinion, Pamela Lim should have refrained from challenging the policemen. While I think Pamela has the rights to record the scene, she should have just asked for the summon to be issued to her quicker rather than arguing on other things. <br /><br />One thing we can't get an answer from the video clip is what happened before the video clip were taken (whether the policemen were rude or intimidating). But to me, the two policemen's behaviour were not unacceptable. Nevertheless, I do have some doubts as in in why the Policemen were so hesitating in issuing the summon? Also, why they wanted Pamela to follow them to "Balai Polis"? <br /><br />P.s. I'm worry for Pamela Lim as her personal details are exposed (IC number, address, car plate etc). <br /><br /><object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gU_JgSccHLE&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gU_JgSccHLE&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="550" height="390"></embed></object>Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-74063527204877796852010-09-21T00:25:00.005+10:002010-09-21T11:01:48.381+10:00Nazri's Malaysian First<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">“I’m Malaysian first and malay second, does any bigot have a problem”. The remark is short and sweet. it is nice to hear it from an Umno Minister. Anyway, I just want to enhance Nazri's statement. Non-bigot will not have a problem with Malaysia first. In other words, there are bigots around. The most prominent and shameless bigot is Muhyiddin Yasin, our non-performer Deputy PM. </span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">But if we see it from another perspective, is Nazri here to challenge Muhyiddin's? If this is the case, Nazri’s political life will end if Muhyiddin takes over the premiership from Najib in future.<br /><br />Lets go back to Nazri's remarks. Eventhough people sing & praise Nazri but I’m still skeptical with the things mentioned by any Umno leader even though it makes absolute sense. Don’t forget, Nazri was not like that before. Nazri was only made more sensible remarks after apa nama Mamak stepped down.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Khairy is also another Umno leader who may sometimes say something sensible. So, why does Nazri need to say these sensible things? Why should he offends the cowardly Awang Selamat gang and the apa nama ex-PM? One of the reasons for Nazri to do that is for his political survival. His view will earn him a place should PR takes over Putrajaya in the next GE. But, at least, Nazri is not wishy washy like the PM in the 1Malaysia concept.<br /><br />Nazri, I support when you sheild your boss from TDM’s attack. As I mentioned before, people see TDM as the one contributed to the Malaysia development was because he was at the right place and in the right time. If Tengku Razaleigh was the one who took over from Tun Hussein Onn, he could have done the same or even better. TDM also did a lot of harms to Malaysia during his time (please read the book called “The Maverick Malaysian” by Barry Wain). Our country was rich in resources. TDM could have made use of the country's resources properly when he was in charged, not as if Malaysia's money is his own piggy bank. So, do not only remember TDM for the Penang Bridge, Twin Towers and KLIA as there are more underexposed scandals behind the beautiful "success" stories.<br /><br />What I suggest is for Nazri to challence Muhyiddin for the Deputy President post in the next Umno party election. Should the Umno members decide drop him, then it is better for Nazri to quit Umno earlier.<br /><br /></span><br /></div>Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-25655770263139539672010-09-18T01:08:00.005+10:002010-09-18T01:44:21.077+10:00Mahathir permata yang bersinar? Apa Itu?Kolumnis, Mohd. Razlan Muhammad Rafii kata beliau terkejut apabila membaca satu artikel yang disiarkan di dalam ruangan Akhbar Cina yang diterjemahkan oleh Utusan Malaysia. Kenapa mudah terkejut? Cepatlah pergi jumpa doktor and makan ubat lah!<br /><br />Masyarakat bukan Melayu pun sudah biasa dengan Utusan Melaysia yang sentiasa mengapi-apikan isu yang kecil dan memainkan isu perkauman. Apakah akhbar tidak dibenarkan menyuarakan kesedihan dan rasa tidak puas hati pada apa nama.. Dr M. Apa gunanya seorang Perdana Menteri yang telah memimpin negara selama 22 tahun tetapi objektif NEP masih tidak dapat di capai? Saya pasti kalau tiada Dr M pun, pemimpin Umno yang lain seperti Tengku Razaleigh, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Musa Hitam pun dapat mencapai apa yang dibuat oleh apa nama Dr M. Saya rasa Mohd Razlan ini tidak tahu baca bahasa inggeris sehingga dia tidak tahu apa yang Dr M buat sepanjang 22 tahun ini. Pergilah cari perterjemah buku Barry Wain.<br /><br />Kenapa orang bukan melayu tidak boleh ada pandangan tersendiri? Tak boleh buat kritik ke? Berdosa ke nak kritik Dr M? Kenapa orang bukan melayu kena berterima kasih pada Dr M, seorang PM yang besifat perkauman.<br /><br />Saya pun, tidak bersyukur dan berterima kasih kepada Dr M. Apa yang kamu boleh buat terhadap saya? Hingga hari ini, hanya seorang PM sahaja yang saya bersyukur, ianya Tengku Abdul Rahman, PM Malaysia yang pertama.<br /><br />Saya tidak faham kenapa orang melayu asyik sangat mengelar orang lain "kurang Ajar". Saya amat kesal terhadap Mohd Razlan begitu biadap. Pandai angkat kaki saja!<br /><br />Kalau tiada Dr M, Malaysia hari ini akan lebih maju dan rakyat lebih bersatu padu lagi.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-10093502861581958692010-09-10T05:16:00.005+10:002010-09-10T05:25:00.051+10:00Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims in Malaysia<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__7hnPjWr7p4/TIkznmiHlvI/AAAAAAAAALI/aX7A0_7fMDA/s1600/Ketupat+3.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514995974143448818" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__7hnPjWr7p4/TIkznmiHlvI/AAAAAAAAALI/aX7A0_7fMDA/s320/Ketupat+3.png" /></a><br />From CharlieCharliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-62129477484908370402010-09-08T14:25:00.009+10:002010-09-10T05:16:12.192+10:00Umno Government Takes RM 5 Billion Tax Payers Money To Help The MalaysRead this news from Bernama, your heart will sink as deep as mine as a Malaysian. In the name of helping the bumi to own shares, the Umno government takes the tax payers' money as if it is their own piggy bank, a good RM5 billion. <br /><br />Again and again, the non-malays are just being bullied/take avantange of by the Umno government and sad to say that there is nothing we can do, absolutely nothing that we can do to stop them from destroying this country. Umno what a political pirate! <br /><br />Apa itu 1Malaysia? Siapa buat Malaysia Kaya dan Siapa buat Malaysia Miskin?<br /><br /><br />Below is the news from Bernama<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /><br />The government has set aside RM5 billion through Ekuiti Nasional Berhad (Ekuinas) established by the Finance Ministry as an initial allocation to help bumiputeras own selected shares.<br /><br />Deputy Finance Minister Senator Awang Adek Hussein said at the same time, the allocation is also aimed at ensuring bumiputera equity does not fall into the hands of others.<br /><br />"For example, if there are bumiputeras wanting to sell their shares because they are retiring from doing business, the government can consider assistance," he told reporters after a breaking of fast event at Kampung Sungai, Perupuk in Bachok last night.<br /><br />He also said apart from this, priority will be given to bumiputeras wanting to own shares in government-linked companies (GLCs).<br /><br />He explained that the move is not intended to grab shares owned by the other races as some are fearful of.<br /><br />Increase ownership <br /><br />Awang Adek said it is also in line with the directive of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak who wants to increase the ownership of shares among bumiputeras to ensure they do not lag behind in comparison to other races.<br /><br />On the gold dinar and the silver dirham sponsored by the Kelantan state government, he said the people will not gain any benefit but the company producing it will profit.<br /><br />He also indicated that the people of Kelantan should not be confused by the introduction as it did not differ from purchasing gold items in shops.<br /><br />"I believe for those with the means, it is better for them to purchase gold items, which at the least can be worn by family members apart from the cost of production being cheaper compared to the gold dinar," he said.<br /><br />- BernamaCharliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05354906894346600497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322881255111127575.post-24409802921189284492010-08-31T01:15:00.008+10:002010-09-10T05:27:32.717+10:00Sultan Selangor MurkaBukan sahaja Sultan akan murka dan dukacita.

I attended the forum but was quite disappointed because Datuk Seri Nizar was not personally present. The participants could only hear him through a pre-recorded video and towards the end, online audio Q&A. Below are my encounters. </div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Before entered into Tropical Inn, I noticed there were 3 policemen guarding outside the building but they were not arounf when I left the place at around 11pm. </div><a href="http://charlie-soong.blogspot.com/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472234963225312066" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__7hnPjWr7p4/S_FItLaEe0I/AAAAAAAAAKw/lIIiwUuJHcE/s320/P5150033.JPG" /> <div align="justify"></a>The forum hall was jam packed. When I first arrived there, I walked straight to the front row seats because it was quite "empty" and no signboard to inform the public that that row was not for the ordinary people. After I seated for about 5 min, 2 familiar faces walked towards where I seated and took their seat, they were Dato' Zaid Ibrahim and Mr Yeo Yang Poh, just beside me. Ha ha, I have never had such a 'close proximity' with a high profile politician (I mean Dato' Zaid). For Mr Yeo Yang Poh, I know who he is but I wasn't sure what was his involvements in politics. To me, he is a 'big' lawyer (for the fact that he is the ex-BAR council chairman) and an intellectual of course. All of them proceeded to sit on the the stage a while later.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">As usual, the forum did not start on time and a few glitches here and there which delayed the forum. No big problem though. Datuk Nizar's pre-recorded video, which was the first speech was quite lengthy, he explained in detail what happened in Perak. </div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Although there were four panelists, most of the time we heard Dato Ziad & Mr Yeo spoke. The gist of the speeches are, </div><br /><br /><div align="justify">"It is almost lawless in this country. BN can do whatever they want to achieve their purpose. They can ignore the constitution, influence the judges, influence the palace, influence SPR, influence the police, practice corruption and etc. All Malaysians who have concience should reject BN and send them a clear message through votes that corrupt practices are no longer be tolerated" </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Dato' Zaid look a bit tired and he explained that he was just flew back from Sibu. He needed to drive back to KL afterthe forum. In fact, he excused himself to leave at around 1030pm. Though, he answered a few questions during the Q&A. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Overall, the forum is of no "wow" element to me. What the panelists said were the same appeals that they made to the public though the online media.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><br />P.s. The organiser promised to post the edited video clip on Youtube. But I tried searching for the past 24 hours but to no avail.

The reasons quoted for leaving the party are quite similar and standard, they all claimed that they lost confidence in PKR party leadership. But Wee Choo Keong's timing of resignation was really bad, it is hard not to link to the upcoming Sibu by-election. Why now Mr Wee? What is the different if you tender a day after the By Election in Sibu? Why do you want to help BN now? Is BN a better choice for you now? So do you think BN is less corrupted now? Wee Choo Keong should not because of his own issue with PKR leader and then rock the PR boat. It is hard to believe that your resignation is not motivated by BN's money. </div><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">Wee Choo Keong cited the main reason for his resignation from PKR is because of the way PKR & PR government handles the scandal in Kuala Semesta Sdn Bhd (KSSB). Come on! you are serving Wangsa Maju parliamentary, not a Selangor state assembly. Those issues you quoted are all at state level. Hence, national issue should be your priority. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Of cause a corruption is a corruption, be it happen in the state or federal level. But it is unconvincing for you to leave PKR just because of KSSB. Please quote me more corruption cases in the PR government to convince me that BN is better. Let me put it very bluntly, if both PR and BN are equally corrupted and if I must choose one from the two, I will still vote for PR. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I have no faith in you too, Wee Choo Keong!
