Pat Lah listen to the rakyat rather than trusting in TNS and Gallup International polls....

Pat Lah said the country's election has always been democratic and fair and the government has never denied the rights to vote to those who are eligable to do so.He said this was proven by the global survey, Voice of the People, conducted by TNS and Gallup International which found that Malaysians are the most confident in Asia of their country's free and fair elections, and outrank most of the region in their faith in democracy.Read here and here.

With a sample size of 1,250 Malaysians, 74 per cent felt that elections in this country were legitimate and 69 per cent believed that government was by the will of the people.The sample was selected from urban areas in the peninsula and respondents were interviewed face-to-face.“This belief in the transparency of elections is in contrast to the sentiment expressed by more than half of respondents across the region who do not consider their country’s election process to be so impartial,” TNS and Gallup said in a statement.

Can we rely on these polls when opinion are mustered up thru interviews conducted face to face with respondents only from the urban areas of the peninsula?. While a vast majority of our voters comes mainly from rural and semi urban areas,does this really reflect the actual feelings on the ground?

Probably the respondents that they interviewed were businessmen,corporate players,civil servants and UMNO/MCA/MIC diehards,then you can rest be assured the answer will be positive.Or they might had even interviewed a number of the "pendatang haram" be it Indon or Bangla the answer will also be a positive one.

The polls only indicate that among the countries in Asia,our democracy is slightly better off than the others,. However,the polls do not tell us whether our elections are conducted evenly or fair and square. When gomen only, are allowed to access the electronic and print media; a campaigning period set for only 9 days and when open canvassing for votes are not allowed; tell me, is this what Pat Lah call democratic and fair?

Its true that the gomen has never denied the rights to vote to those who are eligible to do so. But how and where these eligible voters gonna cast their votes is another story. The latest admission by the EC secretary,that EC officers for registration of voters were found to have transferred voters without their consent is another proof that something is amiss with our election system.

Apart from that,the electoral rolls are marred by instances where unregistered voters has their names put on electoral rolls;10 years old becoming registered voter and persons who had passed away 20-30 years still take leave from their grave to come out to vote in every general election.

If Pat Lah thinks that our polls is fair and democratic, its high time for him to allow in independent observers for the coming general election. If he refuses then there is something fishy about the whole affair and that proves Pat Lah ,you 'cakap tak serupa bikin', and got conned by the pollster's poll.

Ketua Hakim Negara.......

DYMM Yang diPertuan Agong,Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, has consented to the appointment Court of Appeal president Abdul Hamid Mohamad as the new Chief Justice.The Penang born Abdul Hamid,65, was made acting CJ when Ahmad Fairuz retired on Nov 1, shrouded with controversy linked to the Lingam tape.The gomen,until today is still silent about the Royal Commission of Inquiry.


On another note,the job of Court of Appeal President went to the former UMNO legal advisor Zaki Tun Azmi. Zaki’s Tun Azmi ascension to the Federal Court too is shrouded with mystery and became the first person to be appointed straight to the Federal Court, bypassing the convention of first serving in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. He has yet to proof himself to be a capable judge,but by the sheer genius of patronage politics and brand of power he is parachuted to the current position with no question asked.

His lightning-fast promotion to the judiciary's No 2 post is unprecedented and confirms the notion that the judiciary isnt independent as it seems to be. Zaki served as Umno’s legal adviser and disciplinary committee chairperson. He was also the party’s selection committee secretary and deputy chairperson of the disciplinary board appeal panel.He stepped down from these posts in 2005 following his controversial divorce episode. He described his appointment to the judiciary as a national service,though the public would rather perceived it more as an UMNO service to the gomen.

I am still wondering whether this UMNO patron has resign from the party or is he still carrying his membership card in his wallet ?

Anyway,best of luck.......

cheers.

Rashid is trying to bullshit......

Rashid: Those who lose in the polls should stop blaming the commission and instead look within themselves to see what went wrong.

I am really pissed off with this Abdul Rashid,the EC Chairman guy who keeps on bragging that the EC is clean and should not be blame for any mishaps with our electoral system. Like Samy Velu,he has been too long at the helm of EC and thats a cogent evidence that he going senile. All these years the opposition has been accepting their failure to win; its only the gomen that shun defeat for they have this mistaken notion that they will always win,but,for how long?.

Probably you forgot what you said earlier this year,that the EC be given power to ensure that justice and freedom be accessible to all parties contesting in both the electronic and print media. You also want the more than half a decade old election laws and regulations be reviewed. Did Pat Lah heeded to your pleas. The answer is NO, its you who must kowtow him.

If the opposition lose fairly,its fine but this seldom happens here. It is the responsibility for the EC to see that the Election Act be complied both by the gomen and opposition. However,this never happen,the gomen flouts every election rules knowned.The gomen uses goverment vehicles,properties and agencies to help them in campaign purposes,exploit the media to their(gomen) advantage right under Rashid and his EC members nose. What have you done to rectify these wrongdoings,Rashid? None, instead you just turn around gibbering "stop blaming the commission". What a crap...!!

Rashid: Our system is transparent.There has never been fraud in the EC. I have been in the EC for 25 years and I even tried to see if there was any candidate who lost because he or she was a victim of fraud.

What transparent you are talking about? The latest admission by the EC secretary,that assistant officers for registration of voters were found to have transferred voters without their consent has again largely justified opposition claims of massive deceitful practice by the EC. You must be sleeping then,I supposed.

When they requested for a free and transparent election,you came out with this transparent ballot boxes. Dont tell me that after 25 years at the EC you only manage to come out with this idea? Rashid, 25 years is too long for you to be there,while election frauds and chouse occurred in every general election, instead of you looking into it,you choose to close one eye, just like some of our famous penyamun MPs and ADUNs.

Rahshid: Lately,there has been allegation that the EC is linked to political parties. Thats a wild allegation.

Its not a wild allegation,but,its the whole truth and nothing but the truth.Being a commission,the EC must be seen independent. However the commission members are usually made up of senior loyal 'kaki tangan kerajaan'. If you are not the loyal ones you will be given a 'penyapu' like what Khir Toyo did to non-performing civil servants or will be packed home for good. So as commission members they and the gomen will play a little game called,"I scratch Your back and You scratch Mine". Remember, who pays their 'gaji' obviously not...Abdul Hadi Awang or Lim Kit Siang..no..no..its Pat Lah's gomen, correct,correct,correct....

Rashid: I had never been asked by any party including the Prime Minister,to do anything to help the party.

The Prime Minister dont asked you for help,but he send in his goons to tell you what to do. No wonder,for being a loyal servant, your tenure is going to be extended for another year,so as to ensure that Pat Lah's election agenda can be accomplish. To call you a 'barua' gomen is a bit too harsh,but thats really who you are.....

Acara LIMA tapi tiga terkorban......

Tiga anggota tentera, termasuk dua wanita, yang menjalani latihan payung terjun untuk pertunjukan Pameran Antarabangsa Maritim dan Udara Langkawi (LIMA 2007) mati lemas manakala 11 lagi cedera apabila penerjunan mereka tersasar ke dalam laut berhampiran pantai Kuala Muda pagi tadi.Ketua Daerah Polis Langkawi Supt Mohamed Ali Jamalludin berkata anggota Pasukan 10 Briged Para dari Kem Terendak, Melaka yang terbunuh itu ialah Siti Hajar Yaakob, 24, dan Nurul Wahida Yusof, 20, serta seorang anggota lelaki Raymond Duncan, 25.Salah seorang daripada 11 anggota yang cedera, Suraya Ali, 23, dilaporkan kritikal dan dimasukkan ke Unit Rawatan Rapi - Bernama

Kepada anggota-anggota tentera yang terkorban salam takziah dari saya......

Apa yang saya kurang faham kenapa pasukan payung terjun yang telah lama menjalani latihan dan mempunyai pengalaman yang luas dalam penerjunan,tiba-tiba mengambil keputusan untuk terjun,walau pun mereka sedar bahawa keadaan cuaca yang tidak mengizinkan? Nampaknya kemalangan yang menimpa para anggota tentera kita berterusan akibat kelalaian pihak atasan membuat keputusan yang baik dan tepat. Menjamin keselamatan para anggota kita seharusnya diberi priority daripada membeli kapal selam dan jet perjuang....



Sementara itu di Kuala Terengganu Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi melahirkan rasa bangga apabila Kejohanan Kapal Layar Piala Monsun kini menjadi penanda aras kepada siri kejohanan lumba kapal layar yang lain di peringkat dunia. Sambil menyifatkan kejayaan kejohanan itu semakin terserlah selepas tiga tahun temasya itu diadakan, Perdana Menteri berkata kejohanan itu telah membawa banyak manfaat kepada pembangunan terutamanya di Terengganu."Tentu sekali kita akan teruskan Piala Monsun pada tahun depan dan beberapa tahun akan datang dan jadi lebih maju lagi pada masa depan.-Bernama

Monsoon Cup tidak lama lagi akan menjadi budaya di kalangan orang-orang Terengganu.Sejauh manakah Monsoon Cup membawa faedah kepada rakyat Terengganu? Siapa yang meraih keuntungan hasil daripada acara ini? dan juga beberapa orang peserta Malaysia yang terlibat dengan Monsoon Cup? Pernahkah gomen membuat survey untuk menunjukkan ramai mana pengunjung tempatan yang datang untuk menyaksikan acara ini? Sememangnya,gomen tidak berani,kerana sambutan dingin daripada rakyat tempatan.

Kalau Monsoon Cup ini setakat nak bawa glamour saja kepada negara,aku rasa Pat Lah sudah tersilap. Monsoon Cup ini telah diadakan beberapa kali tetapi masih belum kita nampak laporan odit akaunnya. Kononnya,gomen kata acara ini adalah acara gomen dan menggunakan wang rakyat jadi rakyat ingin tahu juga cara mana wang rakyat dibelanjakan.

Ada pula yang berkata Monsoon Cup ini tajaan gomen dengan menggunakan wang royalti Petronas. Wang royalti Petronas ini pun wang rakyat bukan hak Petronas,hak UMNO atau hak gomen. Jadi perlu adakan akauntabiliti. Jangan jadi macam penyamun-penyamun di Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara(IKBN) yang sanggup membayar RM 224.94 untuk satu set screw drivers yang hanya berharga RM32.80 sen di pasar raya. Kalau buat pertandingan lumba bot nelayan,atau pun regatta diRaja adalah lebih berfaedah,belanja tak banyak,nelayan happy dan rakyat enjoy.

Apakah kita perlu membazirkan wang rakyat untuk mengayakan segelintir penyamun UMNO serta lintah darat yang nak tunjuk kepada seluruh dunia bahawa mereka boleh adakan pertandingan perahu layar bertaraf dunia,sedangkan ribuan rakyat miskin di Terengganu dan negara yang masih hidup dalam kedaifan,meraba-raba untuk mencari sesuap nasi.....

“Wall Newspapers” satu lagi propaganda murahan gomen…....

Zainuddin Maidin said that ,the Information Department will begin putting up newspaper clippings at public places in the country beginning next year in a move to bring about a more informed society. These "wall newspapers" are aimed at encouraging the people to read and learn of the latest developments in the country and abroad, according to a Bernama report. According to people approached by Bernama the wall newspapers idea is most welcome,saying it would help them keep track of domestic and world news.

Wall newspaper ini bukanlah sesuatu yang baru. Semasa pemerintahan Moa Tse Tung di negeri China dulu wall newspaper inilah yang menjadi tempat di mana rakyatnya mendapatkan berita-berita tentang apa yang berlaku ketika itu. Malah media-media barat mengutip berita daripada wall newspaper ini untuk dijadikan bahan berita mereka.

Helloooo....kita sudah ada suratkhabar percuma dalam perpustakaan,dewan JKKK,gerai serta warong makanan dan juga di kedai-kedai kopi di seluruh negara,tapi ramai mana antara mereka yang betul-betul ambil berat untuk membaca dengan penuh teliti?

Adakah masyarakat kita,masyarakat membaca? Kalau membaca pun apa yang mereka baca? Akhbar-akhbar tempatan adalah alat propaganda gomen. Jadi berita-berita yang disiarkan adalah tentang kebaikkan gomen dan keburukkan pembangkang semata-mata. Berita-berita sensasi seperti rasuah, salahguna kuasa jangan mimpi akan disiarkan. Malah cerita istana abang Zak dan si penyamun yang suruh tutup mata sebelah pun hanya dipaparkan di mukasurat dalaman saja. Berita-berita yang banyak dipaparkan adalah kisah artis-artis yang kawin cerai dengan datuk ini dan datuk itu,hiburan Jom heboh,Akademi Fantasia dan konsert-konsert di sana sini sememangnya mendapat tempat utama dalam akhbar-akhbar tempatan.


Oleh itu,macam mana daya pemikiran rakyat hendak berkembang bila berita yang dibaca mereka hanya pasal artis dan hiburan,jasa-jasa gomen yang basi di sana sini,seolah-olah gomen tidak pernah buat apa-apa kesalahan.Tindakan Zainuddin Maidin untuk mengadakan “wall newspaper” adalah tindakan seorang politikus 'desperate' yang hendak meyakinkan bosnya setelah performance yang bodoh ditunjukkan semasa temuramah dengan Al-Jazeerah tempoh hari.

Bagi aku,usaha Zainuddin Maidin adalah semata-mata untuk mempertingkatkan propaganda gomen,kerana pilihanraya dah dekat serta melariskan akhbar yang kini menghadapi kemerosotan pembaca. Bila orang tidak mahu beli surat khabar maka dipaksanya orang membaca akhbar yang dipelekat di atas dinding. Bukankah ini kerja orang bodoh?

Aku dah lama tidak melanggan akhbar tempatan,kalau dapat secara percuma pun aku guna untuk lap cermin dan tayar motor aku saja…..

cheers.

This Nazri fellow never learns.....

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nazri Abdul Aziz today said he stands by the two million Indian Malaysians who did not participate in the Nov 25 rally organized by the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf).- Malaysiakini

How does he know that the two million Indian Malaysians are really behind him? Let me suggest that Nazri test his popularity by contesting in a Parliament or State seat where there are a large percentage of Malaysian Indian voters and see whether the Malaysian Indian population really supports him.

Nazri: "There are ways to discuss these issues. Street demonstration is not the way," he said, adding that grouses and complaints must be forwarded in a peaceful manner.” We don't want to show that the government will pay attention (to the public's grouses) only after there are demonstrations and riots,” he explained.

Grouses and complaints were forwarded to the gomen not once, not twice or thrice but on numerous occasions but the gomen acted like a piece of dead wood or 'tongkoi kayu', refused to listen or look at their grievances. So what alternative do they have? Worst still, when they demand to talk to the big gomen bosses, instead the big bosses, send an arrogant stupid 'budak pejabat' like you who is also deaf and dumb...mau bincang apa lagi..ah?

Nazri : "In Thailand and Vietnam, there's no elected government. Even if there is, the elections are disputed," he said, adding that the Malaysian government, on the other hand, was given the mandate by the people to rule the country.

Yes they had elections in Thailand and Vietnam, but the difference is that the campaigning period isn’t 8 to 9 days like ours. They allow open campaigning, while ours are restricted to within the compound of a house or hall. They don’t make use of the government machinery to go campaigning, while our gomen ministers use their official cars, government vehicles to move up and down the campaign trail. Their mass media are fair in reporting, compared to ours that only voices government propaganda. Like ours,their elected government are often marred by strings of grafts and corruptions. What kind of mandate is he talking about,when you buy votes openly; using 'hantus' to vote for them; messing up the electoral rolls so that genuine voters are denied of their voting rights and gerrymandering electoral boundaries to their advantage.

Instead of condeming the rallies,the gomen should have been more concerned about their grudges. The gomen could have avoided the use of their power play to curtail the mass rallies,thru direct negotiations with the various parties involved. The police could have allowed a certain number of participants to handover their memorandum peacefully without any hitch and things will be over in a few hours. But,this never happen because Pat Lah thought that he has being 'cabar' and this gave the police,FRU the licence to act ‘macam orang amok’,setting up roadblocks here and there,causing havoc and traffic pandemonium. Had they acted with caution all these hullaballoo and traffic chaos could be avoided.

They got brains but on their bottom,and, the usage of weapons is the only way they know how to silence the rakyat's peaceful resentment.......

cheers.

Dah untung dari kutipan tol,mau pampasan lagi.....

Tol bagi 4 buah lebuhraya - Lebuh Raya Utara-Selatan,Prolintas
(Ampang-Hulu Klang),Sprint dan Jambatan Pulau Pinang, tidak akan
dinaikkan buat masa ini,sedangkan tol bagi 5 lebuhraya lain tolnya dinaikkan antara 7% hingga 50% seperti yang termaktub dalam perjanjian konsensasi itu.

Menurut Samy Vel,gomen terpaksa belanja sebanyak RM242 juta sebagai bayaran pampasan ganti rugi kepada pihak konsensasi yang mengendalikan kutipan tol di lebuhraya-lebuhraya tersebut.

Adai Samy Vel...itu hari U ada cakap bahawa kutipan tol yang diperolehi oleh syarikat konsesi daripada pengguna lebuhraya adalah sebanyak RM 23.7 juta.Pada tahun 2006 U punya gomen ada bayar pampasan ganti rugi sebanyak RM38.5 juta. Ini bererti pihak konsesnsi telah meraihkan sebanyak RM62.2 juta daripada gomen dan pengguna lebuhraya. Bukankah ini satu bentuk 'highway robbery'? Apa pasai U mau bayar sama itu penyamun lagi?,mungkin,U ada dapat sikit dari belakang...

Adai Samy Vel....Pengendali kutipan tol jambatan Pulau Pinang,Penang Bridge Sdn. Bhd. (PPSB),mengumumkan bahawa perolehan daripada kutipan tol jambatan Pulau Pinang adalah sebanyak RM146 juta dan gomen pula telah bayar pampasan sebanyak RM 22 juta,kerana tidak benar mereka menaikkan tol. Ini bererti PPSB telah meraih keuntungan sebanyak RM188 juta. Awat PPSB dok rugi lagikah atau penyamun-penyamunnya masih tak cukup duit untuk nak makan?

Adai Samy Vel...RM 242 juta itu kacang putih saja,U punya bos Pat Lah dulu ada kasi RM600 juta untuk diberikan kepada 191 bahagian UMNO semasa persidangan UMNO tahun lalu dan RM600 juta lagi dijanjikan sebelum pilihanraya ini.Apa mau susah pasal wang....?

Samy Vel juga berkata bahawa cadangan untuk menaikkan tol kepada 6 buah lebuhraya lain adalah berdasarkan kepada lebuhraya-lebuhraya tersebut sangat kurang digunakan pemandu. Bila ditanya adalah keputusan tidak menaikkan tol ini disebabkan pilihanraya,Samy Vel menjawab,"If it is because of the election, then toll should be free of charge."

Tapi,lepas pilihanraya tol semua lebuhraya akan naik........

cheers.

Twist and turn of the Lingam video clip issue,while Pat Lah ‘masih dok tidoq’……

Pat Lah is back from the land of Cleopatra where he celebrated his 68 birthday, and was glad with a survey that showed Malaysians were happy with the administration of the present gomen but warned the rakyat that he will use ISA when it is appropriate in order to crack down illegal rallies and demonstrations.

However,Pat Lah also cannot deny the fact that there are numerous problems and issues that his gomen is facing now that need serious attention. Malaysians are still waiting for Pat Lah to wake up and announce the panel members of the promised Royal Commission Inquiry to investigate the Lingam video clip issue.

With the new disclosure by his brother,VK Lingam is hopping mad. VK Lingam stressed that the ACA had thoroughly investigated all the documents in his house and law firm as well as questioning his staff and family members in 1998."It was a full search,he said. They even checked my legal files and bank accounts. They interviewed my wife, maid and bodyguard as well as other individuals named in the reports."To my knowledge, the ACA had cleared me," he said.

Sure enough,ACA did a thorough search,but what were they looking for? Were they looking for the right documents or just dropped in for a cup of coffee and played sudoku? Furthermore, ACA did not pursue any action in 1998 because Mahathir was around. Mahathir granted VK.Lingam with all the exemptions that he needed including immunity from prosecution. While,the holiday trip with then Chief Justice Eusoffe Chin and Vincent Tan with their spouses in New Zealand,was another proof of how VK.Lingam was capable to manipulate the judiciary and had certain judges in his pocket so as to create a selective prosecution environment.I wonder how many judgement were delivered in favour of him and how many fell victims to his greed of money and power .

As I had said before,with the right doctor he can cook up some medical reports, and,with the right judge on his payroll,he can get his brother declared insane anytime he wants. Nothing holds in the court if you are insane. That’s how VK.Lingam wants the public to perceive who really his brother was. “It is for the police to investigate if it's false... I don’t want to waste time on a psychiatric patient,” VK Lingam said vauntingly.

As for the findings of the toothless panel of inquiry,media reports indicated all three panelist supported the formation of a Royal Commission.But, according to some insiders only two panelist suggested the formation of Royal Commission,while Haider wanted the case to be close. Probably Haidar feared that the Royal Commission will expose more skeletons in the cupboard and he could likely be one of them.

The longer we wait for the Royal Commission of Inquiry to be set up more shits will be spilled out and as the plots thickens the video’s authentcity becomes more chiselled………
