Alies Anor Abdul, the Brutus in Najib’s camp


Wednesday, 19 June 2013

Hence winning the general election has never been a worry for Umno or the Prime Ministers since the time of Merdeka. It is the internal Umno party elections that give the Umno Presidents cum Prime Ministers sleepless nights. And Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (and now Najib) all felt this heat. (Tun Razak Hussein died ‘early’ before the heat could build up).

The right against the middle


Tuesday, 18 June 2013

Hence we are going to see a battle to decide not only the new Umno leadership but the direction Umno is to take over these next four or five years leading to the 14th General Election. Those who feel that Umno needs to appeal to the middle ground will back Najib. Those who feel that Najib has ‘sold out’ to the non-Malays will oppose him.

It’s not about you


Tuesday, 18 June 2013

And all, I repeat, ALL, these people pay ‘protection money’ to the police. So is this not Chinese bribing Malays? Hence if Chinese do not respect Malays for taking bribes do we respect the Chinese for bribing Malays? Again, just like the ex-Mufti regarding the issue of criticising the monarchs, the ex-IGP did not explain this part.

Pakatan Rakyat Boleh Jatuhkan Najib Menerusi Tengku Razaleigh


Wednesday, 19 June 2013

Merah Tinta MSO

Sama ada memang benar berlaku penyelewengan dan ketidak-adilan (melampau) dalam pilihan raya KE-13 lalu, hakikatnya parti UBN masih berkuasa dan Najib Razak masih menjadi perdana menteri. Dalam permainan politik yang berpaksikan kepada 4C (teori saya) sebagai rukunnya, penegakkan kebenaran dengan segala macam fakta 'akli' atau bayangan tidak merubahkan keadaan.

 

Bila berbalah tentang dasar parti, jangan serang peribadi individu


Wednesday, 19 June 2013

Saya dituduh kecewa kerana tidak menjadi calon dalam PRU 13 yang lepas dan ini merupakan komen yang sangat peribadi. Jika pun saya dijadikan calon ia tetap tidak melambangkan ‘multiracialism’ seperti yang dilaungkannya itu kerana ia akan hanya menambah bilangan Melayu di dalam senarai itu hanya menjadi dua orang sahaja dari seorang yang ada sekarang.

Ku Li-Anwar, ideal pair to lead Malaysia


Wednesday, 19 June 2013

FMT LETTER: From Natesan Visnu, via e-mail

The current talk of Tengku Razaleigh (Ku Li) for Prime Minister has created sensation among Malaysians. The possibility of Pakatan Rakyat forming the new government with 25 MPs from BN dissatisfied with Najib’s leadership crossing over and requesting Ku Li to lead the pact for Putrajaya has reignited the interest in Malaysian politics after the General Election No. 13 disappointment. Ku Li as Prime Minister?

The government should remind itself that no one is above the law. Those who have wronged this society must be brought to justice. 

The overwhelming majority of complaints to date on matters of serious concern, such as deaths in custody, have pertained to the police. This is a fact that cannot be ignored, just as we cannot blind ourselves to the fact that the EAIC simply does not enjoy the confidence of the majority of Malaysians, many of whom had not even heard of the commission until the current debate started.

The reason cops shouldn’t abuse suspects

We expect the police to be like the Lotus plant which lives, stands upright and displays its beauty even in filthy ponds – we each have to excel at what we do. Yet, the police have to deal with bad folks more frequently than the rest of us. Period. It’s not easy to remain different from the bad folks. And therein lies the challenge: bad folks taunt us; bad folks mock us; bad folks hurt us.

Redefining the Malay Agenda


Tuesday, 18 June 2013

Zaid Ibrahim

Some of my friends have been somewhat critical of my tweets and blog posts lately, simply because I have been commenting on UMNO and even praising Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The less sophisticated have interpreted this as my way of trying to get back into the UMNO fold. But the truth is it’s UMNO season and whatever happens in the party will affect all of us, whether we like it or not. Given that, I write with the hope that some of what I say can, in some small way, influence the delegates and the party chiefs.

 

‘Dr M concealing Umno’s divide’


Tuesday, 18 June 2013

Monday, 17 June 2013

Therefore, for all intents and purposes, it was Dr Mahathir who appointed Najib as the Deputy Prime Minister and not Pak Lah who did so. Pak Lah did not ‘confirm’ Dr Mahathir’s announcement until the following day. Pak Lah really had no choice in the matter after Dr Mahathir had publicly ‘thanked’ him for ‘agreeing’ to appoint Najib as the Deputy Prime Minister.
