In brief: Diversions

The only thing that matters is that thing under your pants

-me-

1. In Malaysia’s political arena, most unthinkable thing is possible, wild perceptions are truth and many rumors are fact.

2. I don’t really like to use the word tsunami or cyclone to describe how Malaysia’s politic is misbehaving at the moment since these stated natural disasters had claimed countless number of lives, shattered many innocent hearts and destroyed numerous shelters in its’ pathways. Whichever way you see it, it spells DISASTER and that is the least possible outcome that I want Malaysia to be struck with.

3. Another bombshell had been dropped, this time it struck right on top of Pakatan’s camp site. Thus, BN is the automatic suspect.

Exam Week

Hi,

I’m in the middle of exam now, so will be back writing as soon as this weekend maybe.

Wish me Luck!

Siapa sebenarnya di belakang SAPP?

Kecoh hari ini, semua akhbar termasuk blogger otai rockybru memperkenalkan lagi sekali siapakah gerangan Yong Teck Lee (YTL) kepada umum. Sejarah kareer politik YTL sungguh menarik, beliau pernah menjawat jawatan Ketua Menteri Sabah, dan yang paling penting beliau pernah lompat parti. Mungkin kriteria beliau yang akhir itu menyebabkan beliau calon terbaik untuk dimanipulasikan oleh Anwar Ibrahim.

SAPP telah mengadakan sidang akhbar menyatakan mereka sudah hilang keyakinan terhadap kepimpinan Abdullah Badawi sebagai Perdana Menteri. Ada empat alasan menyokong serta menerangkan kenapa mereka hilang keyakinan. Melalui pengamatan saya sikap PM yang tidak konsisten telah menyebabkan SAPP merasa ragu-ragu akan kebolehan dan kepimpinan Abdullah. Itu apa yang diberitahu kepada umum.

Kolum Ringkas: Demokrasi

Malaysia mengamalkan sistem demokrasi sejak mula-mula mendapat kemerdekaan. Prinsip demokrasi inilah yang telah meletakkan Malaysia dimana ia berada sekarang. Namun, kesan daripada tsunami politik 080308, gegaran-gegaran susulan masih Malaysia rasai. Ada yang cuba menubuhkan kerajaan melalui pintu belakang, dan ada pula yang cuba memberi pukulan kepada pemerintahan sekarang melalui pintu hadapan.

1. Parti PKR yang diterajui oleh ketua de facto nya Anwar Ibrahim semakin giat untuk men’jolok’ keharmonian Barisan Nasional. Terbaru adalah dakwaan ahli parlimen MCA akan melompat ke dalam genggaman PR dalam ucapan beliau di Pulau Pinang dan telahpun dinafikan oleh pimpinan MCA (baca di sini)

2. Demokrasi ala Anwar Ibrahim ini jelas menimbulkan tanda tanya, adakah kerajaan harapan baru Malaysia akan ditubuhkan secara menggunakan pintu belakang dan tidak menghormati semangat dan prinsip demokrasi yang telah sekian lama dipraktikkan.

True UMNO spirit from an old man in UMNO

The Edge: How old were you during Merdeka?

Tengku Razaleigh: Slightly less than 20 years old. I was doing my first degree in economics in London. I was in London representing the students.

Was there an opportunity to meet the leaders when they came there?

Yes… I met Tunku Abdul Rahman often, Tun Razak, Tun Sardon Jubir, who was a close family friend. As president of the students’ union, I used to host talks and got student leaders to meet and ask questions. Our leaders also sought to meet and interact with us. It was most rewarding.

And what was the feeling then, and what did Merdeka mean to you?

Well a lot… we were students then, excited that we would be free of the colonial yoke. I was active on the international platform as at that time there were a lot of countries still not free from British and French colonial powers. We participated in demonstrations, forums and student activities. We were leaning towards Labour, which was ruling the UK then.

It was very exciting. In my case, I felt excited that now we had a chance to develop the country. Malaysians from all walks of life would be able to develop and participate in the country’s development. This opened up new opportunities. For instance, we lagged behind in the field of education. We did not have many people to administer the country and we were fully aware that we were short of manpower.

The only way to upgrade ourselves was through education.
