Remember the four frogs that fooled all

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 4 — Whatever the outcome of the political imbroglio in Perak, Malaysians should remember the names of Datuk Nasharudin Hashim, Mohd Osman Jailu, Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Hee Yit Foong forever.

They represent the worst species of politicians — self-serving; greedy; unprincipled; cowardly and dishonest.

How else would you describe politicians who go begging for votes wrapped in the colours of their political party, who rattle off reasons why Umno, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and DAP deserve to win, only to repudiate everything they told the voters less than 12 months later?

They are as despicable as Barclays Premier League footballers who kiss the badge of their club before adoring thousands only to demand a transfer 24 hours later for a bigger pay packet.

According to Nasharudin, he took the decision to switch from Umno to PKR after serious consideration of the country’s political situation and in the interest of his supporters and voters in Bota. Sure he did.

The fact that he had been forced to give up his parliamentary seat and the chairmanship of Felcra to Datuk Tajudin Rahman did not factor at all in his thinking to switch camps.

Why he did a pirouette today is anybody’s guess?

But rest assured it was not because he had a higher calling.

At a press conference in Putrajaya today, he rambled on: ”The situation in the state is critical. I have to make sacrifices.’’ Sure he did.

Then there is the case of Mohd Osman and Jamaluddin. Hard to believe that two individuals as slippery as these two managed to persuade the voters of Changkat Jering and Behrang that they were worthy of support in March.

That’s what happens when the political wave comes in, it brings in deadwood, sludge and flotsam.

The fact is that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and PKR were challenged to field a decent crop of candidates in Election 2008. So they left the bar low. The result: a motley crew of elected representatives.

For months Mohd Osman and Jamaluddin have been planning and scheming to leave PKR, no doubt prodded by Umno/BN officials who were seeking to narrow the three-seat majority which Pakatan Rakyat enjoyed in the state assembly.

Those who believe in conspiracy theories say that the duo are hoping that by going independent and backing the BN, the corruption charges against them will disappear.

No one knows their motivation except that they put their interest above everybody else’s. Worse yet, they behaved like fugitives, hiding from their families, friends and constituents like common criminals and then offering insulting excuses.

Jamaluddin said that he was incommunicado because he was having back problems and was seeking treatment in Pahang. He also said that loyal to PKR. A day later, he resigned from PKR.

Should anyone trust a lawmaker like him? Should any voter trust him or Hee the next time they stump for votes?

In life, we usually treat the unprincipled and dishonest people shabbily. Why should politicians be given a free pass?

Who Is Clean From Money Politics In UMNO?

When the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) takes the swift action to insvetigate money politics in UMNO. There are some UMNO members feel very strong (or they scared...) about the investigation, they protested MACC's intervention in UMNO's party internal matters. I don't understand these people's mindset when they protest the investigation. Their act is a joke and make Malaysian "malu" only.

Is UMNO above the law such that corruptions practice happpened within UMNO can not be investigated by MACC? I don't understand why UMNO people are still so arrogant. They thought that law is in their hand and they can do whatever they want , include dropping the "corruption" charges againts the 2 Perak PR assemblymen.

The next question will be how many corrupted leaders in UMNO? Is the protest mooted by those dirty leaders? And the million dollar question are how many of them and who are they.

2009 Year of Frog For Malaysia?

Politically, the year of ox has started with a bang when the Bota assemblyman Datuk Nasarudin Hashim declared his decision to join PKR last Sunday. Subsequently, BN also said that there are some defectors from PR that interested to cross over. What's more, one of the Perak PR lawmaker also announced that there will be defection in Negeri Sembilan which will cause the fall of BN in the state.

As mentioned in my previous article (PR Takes Over Putra Jaya On 16 Sep?) , I'm not in favour of PR's plan to take over BN to rule this country, especially through defection of MPs. I'm against the act of these irresponsible assemblyman defecting the party which they belongs to during the 308 GE. This way of defection is unacceptable and is againts the will of the people who voted for him during last the GE.

The defections mean more than just switching camp. Please be responsible and think twice before hoppping. If the assemblyman think that what they do is for the benefit of the people, he should then resign and get a fresh mandate from the people, let the people decide.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Wishing all Malaysian A Happy Year of Ox!

How To Stop Israel From Killing The Palestinians?

It is interesting to see how the people in this region reacted to the Israel invasion and killing of innocence Palestinians. As usual, muslim countries will react more strongly compared to non muslim country. In Malaysia, we have demonstrations too and as usual, the target will be US Embassy. However, after much shouting and screaming, the crowd dispersed and get back to work. I wonder how effective is the demonstration at the US Embassy?Just to vent anger? (But this round no monkey show).

Besides, we also have an irrelevant ex-leader, Dr. M wanted Malaysian to boycott US products, starts with Coca-Cola, Mc Donald and Colgate. By accident, I'm already one supporter because I don't drink soft drink or eat fast food because these two things are almost zero in nutrition and I only use Darlie tooth paste...But what are we trying to achieve by boycotting US products? To make sure their business collapse and add to the employment percentage? Why make Coke, Mc Donald & Colgate the scape goat? Do we have proof that they channel funds to support Israel? They are innocence too. If Dr M is so determine to boycott, then make sure you don't use any Microsoft programmes & Intel processor in publishing your blog.

As usual, the U.S. president will not spare the condemn. What disturb me was when I read about a father in Kota Bahru, brought his to a demonstration and taught his son to throw shoes at George W Bush picture. George W Bush may not feel the pain but that father may have to bear the responsibility later when his son grew up. His son may think that it is alright to throw shoes to vent anger. I pity the kid and wonder what on earth the father would want to teach his son to throw shoes.

If what the Kelantan father did was serious, the next one is consider crazy but luckily it was not happen in Malaysia. In Indonesia, the Islamist warriors are actually considering going to Gaza to "help" the Palestinians to fight Israel. A 28 year old lady by name of Dhuharniyeti said that she was prepared to fight Israel troops with bamboo sticks and arrows...I'm speechless when I read this. Israel has been there for long time despite being surrounded by the muslim nations and they are still standing tall. When Iraq's Scud missiles were unable to finish off Israel, can the bamboo sticks and arrow do the magic? When living in peace, people tend to forget about how to treasure life and want to go to the battle ground with bamboo sticks...

The only way to resolve this is for all parties to go back to the negotiation table in order to avoid more casualty. Israel should be penalised for invading and killing, they should be taught a lesson for disobeying the call by UN to cease fire. Hamas is no angel, they are equally inhumane for using civilian especially kids as human shield, it is even more despicable than Israel.

Dr. M, Can You Please Shut Up!

Dear Dr M,

It is very sickenning. You just can't stop talking, everything is not right. and nothing is constructive. Do you think you are still in in charge? You as the former, I repeat "FORMER" premier disappointed with the selection of Wan Ahmad Farid as the Barisan Nasional candidate in the Kuala Terengganu by-election simply because you think that Wan Ahmad is the proxy for Abdullah. Isn't it common in politics? I honestly don't think that Adbullah will appoint someone else proxy? You intention is clear, you want BN to lose in the by-election so that Abdullah's proxy in the Umno Youth chief election will also lost his credential.

I think you should keep your mouth shut. If you really like to fight, just fight like a man in the proxy war during the Umno Election.
Please remember that you are nothing more than an ordinary citizen now. Remember to pay your income tax for the sources of income gained from your kedai roti and your chedet advertisement.

Israel Invades Gaza Strip In Palestine

I must admit that I don't know much about the history of conflicts between Israel & Palestine. Eventhough there are a lot of resources in the internet about this topic but every time I started to read, I will soon be losing focus and losing interest to continue simply because the history between them is just is too complicated.

OK! That's not my point. What I want to say is I'am confused and puzzled why did they fight again. It is sad to see that people's life just taken away like that. Why it seems to be that the fight is inevitable?

Without fail, in every war break out, the world will mostly, overwhelmingly condemn Israel. The voices are especilally strong from the muslim world as usual. Is Israel really that devil until they every now and then try to provoke the muslim Arab neighbours? Why no one condemn Hamas' provoking act of firing rockets to Israel territory? Is that permissable? Don't get me wrong, I'm a peace lover and strongly against the retaliation act of Israel. No one can tolerate the act of invading and killing the innocence in Gaza strip. Israel must stop this immediately.

Whatever happen in the past... is past. The world face enough problems nowadays. I hope that peace in Middle East will be restored soon. But at the same time, we shall not discount Hamas responsibility in this incident. Hamas should not use the rockets and start to negotiate instead of provoking. The moral of the story is "Don't disturb the bee hive!". Hamas should protect the life of Palestine people. It is not worth to fire a few rockets over and revceive a big fight back from the Jews. It is proven that the Jews will fight back at any cost(include sacrifying the life of innocence Palestanians), when they feel their life is threatened.

Rally To Defend Malay rights?

As reported in Malaysiakini.com 29 Dec 2008, a group of protesters in Penang called on Malay rulers to revoke the citizenship of Malaysians who dispute Malay special rights and demanded safeguards to their special position as enshrined in the constitution. To me, this is nothing but a sandiwara, absolutely a show staged by the irresponsible parties rather than by those really want to protect Malay rights hero.

This group of Malay NGO, led by Md Radzi Daud also not being straight to the point. They disguised under various beautiful names such as “call on Malaysians to defend Islam as the nation’s official religion”. Isn't it nonsense and “langsung tidak masuk akal”?. Come on, get real! Non-Malay recognise and respect islam as the official religion for Malaysia as per article 153 but is there any reason for us non-malay to defend that? Who will defend Islam other than Muslim themselves? If you think non Muslim should defend Islam, please then defend the pig farm for me.

This group is also no different from the other Malay extremist in the past, they basically trying to position Malay as victim under the current political climate. They said “Malays have kept quiet so far to maintain peace and harmony, but don't disturb the bees hive or you can be destroyed". I feel that the Malay extremist have recycled this remarks over and over again without thinking about it carefully. Malay keeps quiet? Excuse me, were you deaf or you pretend not to hear what Ahmad Ismail said during the Permatang Pauh by election? Whenever Malay or UMNO face problem, the non Malay will conveniently be blamed, will be victimised especially by UMNO. So will you still insist that the Malay keep quiet?

In the rally, this group also called for granting of immunity to the Malay royalty. Melayu mudah lupa, if you guys are really serious about this, grill Dr M first, and revoke his citizenship if you guys walk the talk because he was the one who removed the immunity. In addition, the UMNO members and assemblymen, especially those in Perlis & Terengganu also “menghina the sultan and raja during the tussle of the appointment of Menteri Besar. Strip off their citizenship please!

My appeal to the Malay, don’t be ignorance, you are being made used by UMNO, they have been given more than 3 decades to help the Malays but they did otherwise. If you still think that you don't have your fair share of the country's wealth, that is not because of other races, it is because of UMNO's policies.

Lastly, spare your kids. Don't involve them in this type of rally because they are too young to understand. Kids are innocent and they don't born to hate anybody unless the adult taught them to. We are all Malaysian, we don’t wish to train our kids to hate or fight other races. So don't pass on this baggage to them, to hate the non-malay.

Multi-Language Road Sign & Mohd Ali Rustam

Mohd Ali Rustam, the current UMNO's VP and Melaka Chief Minister said in Ipoh on Wednesday that the road signs in the country need only Bahasa Malaysia, I'm OK with this only if the same standard enforce throughout the country.

Ali also lambasted the DAP government in Penang of putting up the multi-language road signs in the tourist attractions a trick for their political gain. I strongly disagree with this. Ali Rustam seems to be not aware that the Jawi has been widely used in other places road signs. Can I then say UMNO do this for their political gain also?

I still remember clearly quite some times ago, some states ignored "rakyat"s complaint and proceeded to put up road signs with Jawi, until such that some angry people sprayed paint to cover the Jawi as a way to show their dissatisfaction(though I don't agree with the way they demonstrated their dissatisfaction). Did the government ever care about rakyat's feeling? I wonder if Ali Rustam knows what happened around the nation.

The road sign thing is not a big issue. I feel that Ali Rustam is here to heat up the issue again for his own political gain. It is worrying to see people of Ali Rustam's quality to assume top post in UMNO. I would like to urge Ali to stay in Melaka for the sake of the country. You may not be ready to go up to national level.

If Ali wants to resolve the road sign issue, I think Ali should strive towards eliminating Jawi on the road sign before even comment on "road signs need only Bahasa Malaysia". He should also question the wisdom of the town council who think that Jawi is necessary on the road signs. Not to forget also, slap those who ask me to leave this country if I "tak suka". Bahasa is for all of us, Jawi is not.
