Jusuf expose, Anwar’s message to Najib


Tuesday, 21 May 2013

"During a meeting here (Jakarta) in April, Anwar had asked me to convey a message to Najib that he should allow a peaceful transition of rule. It was Anwar himself who came to me to talk about commitment. Hence, he should also fulfil his commitment. Commitment is not only the responsibility of one party."

(The Kuala Lumpur Post) - Former Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kalla has told Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to concede the fact that he had lost in the 13th General election and “move on” for the sake of Malaysia’s political and economic stability.

Unlike the parties graciously accepting the results in the Philippines, the coin toss if used here could invite disastrous consequences.

By Syed Nadzri Syed Harun, FMT

Tan Sri Wong Foon Meng (UPDATED with Chinese Translation)


Sunday, 19 May 2013

Can you see that long before the 2008/2013 Tsunami, the Malays and Chinese of Kuala Terengganu already set aside their racial/political differences and supported the candidate rather than the race or party? The Chinese supported and worked/campaigned for an Islamist from PAS while the Malays supported and worked/campaigned for a ‘kafir’ from MCA.

Shaping the mind of the Malay


Saturday, 18 May 2013

You can see the Malay swing in 1946. Then they swung back and took another swing in 1959. Then they swung back and took another swing in 1969. Then they swung back and took another swing in 1990. Then there was another swing in 1999 after swinging back in 1995 (and then swung back in 2004). In 2008, we saw another swing and a slight swing back this time around in 2013. Will the Malay ‘pattern’ prove true and will we see yet a bigger and maybe a ‘terminal swing’ (for Barisan Nasional, that is) in the 2018 general election?

UBAH - What? Why?

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ9kwKjQTWnSrMdlFRMOxo29buy6G52tOH0l3Drzd7zucDuuQEJ 

Who are the leaders in BN? They are ordinary human beings that were made leaders by the same citizens that are shouting for Ubah now. We elected them, then put them up on altars and bribed them, corrupted their minds with all kinds of gifts, we made them multimillionaires, and we gave them luxury vehicles, money for luxury bungalows, all paid holidays, jewellery and many many more. After doing all these crappy things we want to change the government. What assurances that when PR comes to power we will not repeat the same thing?

Malaysia: An Irreconcilable Divide?


Tuesday, 21 May 2013

Of all the kernels of facts about the elections, we know that along with rural voters, a higher proportion of females also leaned heavily towards BN. 

Thus far, relatively large rallies - in the tens of thousands - not only in PR strongholds such as in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, but also in BN controlled states such as Johor and Negeri Sembilan - suggest that the opposition remains focused and agitated about making sure the issue of electoral fraud does not become a mere footnote.

The content of these reports are politicised, speculative, reliant on half-truths and clearly not definitive. Grand allegations, especially made at politically opportune moments, need to be supported by concrete sources with definitive evidence.

Evidently, even the focus on small cases has patently failed. Bribery can commonly be seen in the streets of Kuala Lumpur, the country’s capital, as when drivers pay off policemen when pulled over for allegedly speeding or running a red light.

Victorious DAP, Defeated MCA


Monday, 20 May 2013

At first Chua sneered at Lim Keat Siang’s announcement to contest in Gelang Patah and said that Lim was ‘dreaming’. It would later turn out that Lim’s ‘dream’ had come true. We all witnessed how energetic and enthusiastic Lim could be even he is already in his seventies. He fought with such zeal over the past month, he travelled north and south for thousands of miles and he kept his morale high to the last minute. It was not by luck that DAP emerged a winner, for Lim had been giving out ceramah not only in his constituency but all over Malaysia.
