In fact, to be honest, I am actually quite delighted. I am enjoying seeing these people suffer what I have suffered. Okay, maybe it is not fair of me to think like this. But who cares about being fair? I mean, when someone does something to you, you consider it poetic justice when the same thing is done to him or her. Hence I don’t really care whether what is being done to them is fair or not. I am just so happy that they are now being subjected to what they subjected me to.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Suaram trio told to explain foreign funding

Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) is calling on PKR leader Tian Chua and Suara Rakyat Malaysia director Kua Kia Soong and co-founder R. Sivarasa to explain to Malaysians why Suaram is allegedly funded by foreign parties.

JMM president Azwanddin Hamzah yesterday urged the trio to hold a press conference to inform the rakyat why foreign influence had been used to interfere in the country's political agenda.

"We also want to know if Tian Chua, Sivarasa and Kua have paid taxes to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) from the funds received from currency speculator George Soros.

"It's very clear that Soros was the mastermind behind the plans of bringing down the country's economy," he said yesterday in a statement.

Azwanddin urged IRB chief executive officer Tan Sri Mohd Shukor Mahfar to investigate and ensure that the key Suaram figures were paying corporate income tax.

Suaram has been plagued with controversy with reports that it was not a non-governmental organisation but an entity registered as a company called Suara Inisiatif Sdn Bhd and the revelation of "highly suspicious" fund transactions between Suaram and Suara Inisiatif.

The Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry has been investigating whether an American non-governmental organisation that is allegedly funding Suaram is linked to Soros.

Emails have been reportedly found linking the money to Soros.

Perkasa: Suaram funders also behind LGBT programmes

Malay rights group Perkasa information chief Ruslan Kasim has claimed that the funders of Suaram were also responsible for supporting programmes for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual (LGBT) community.

This, he said in an Mingguan Malaysia report today, was on top of funding Suaram with the purpose of smearing Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in the Scorpene controversy and the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.

"They also fund programmes for apostasy, free sex like LGBT. These are all against Islam," he was quoted as saying.

Ruslan was referring to Suaram's overseas funding which the government has claimed that among others, came from organisations linked to currency speculator George Soros.

Ruslan also questioned whether Suaram had paid private investigator P Balasubramaniam to make a statutory declaration to smear the premier's name.

"We want to know who funded Suaram to pay the private investigator to make the statutory declaration," he was quoted as saying.

10 sebab Anwar tidak layak jadi PM

1. Sokong Israel

2. Bantuan asing (kini terbukti SUARAM)

3. Anwar pluralisme Islam

4. Buku Jingga manifesto akan rosakkan ekonomi negara

5. Tiada kabinet bayangan. Siapa Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan?

6. Sokong LGBT yang hukum haram

7. Pembohongan 916 satu politik yang amat besar

8. Mahu jatuhkan kerajaan guna demonstrasi jalanan ... Tahrir Square

9. Video China doll tulin dan Anwar tak jelaskan

10. Kes liwat tak selesai dan Mahkamah Tinggi lepaskan atas teknikal

******************************************

It looks like the ‘Gang Suaram’ is under serious attack. Tian Chua, R. Sivarasa, Dr. Kua Kia Soong, Dr. Yeoh Seng Guan, Elizabeth Wong, Cynthia Gabriel, Latheefa Koya, Yap Swee Seng, Premesh Chandran, Edmund Bon, S. Arutchelvam, and a couple of others, all have bullets with their names on them.

They are alleged to have received illegal funding from overseas sources. They are alleged to have received financial support from George Soros. They are alleged to be tools of the Americans. They are alleged to be supporters of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transexuals (LGBTs). They are alleged to be behind the move to get Muslims to leave Islam. They are alleged to be Communists. They are alleged to have bribed private investigator P. Balasubramanian into signing a false statutory declaration to defame and slander Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. There are questions as to whether these ‘Gang Suaram’ people may also be involved with the same people who are behind the recent ant-Islam movie. In fact, if the sun starts rising from the west instead of the east, these people would probably be blamed for that as well.

Are these allegations fair? Are these allegations founded? Is there any truth in these allegations?

I suppose that is not important. What is important would be: can these people prove their innocence? If these allegations were not true then they would have to offer evidence to prove that they are not true.

Maybe two years ago I would not be talking like this. Two years ago, I will have said that the accuser needs to prove the allegation. The accused needs not prove anything. Those who make the allegation need to prove it.

That would have been two years ago.

Since then, however, the rules have changed. The new rule is: once an allegation has been made against you then you need to prove that the allegation is not true. Until you can prove it is not true then we must consider it as true. You are guilty until you can prove your innocence.

I did not realise until about two years ago in 2010 that this is the new rule of the game. And I was subjected to this new rule. As much as I tried to protest and profess my innocence, whatever I said was not accepted. I am guilty until I could prove I am innocent.

I have actually got quite used to it by now. I suppose after two years you can sort of get used to anything. Hence I find it extremely difficult to sympathise with all these people.

In fact, to be honest, I am actually quite delighted. I am enjoying seeing these people suffer what I have suffered. Okay, maybe it is not fair of me to think like this. But who cares about being fair? I mean, when someone does something to you, you consider it poetic justice when the same thing is done to him or her. Hence I don’t really care whether what is being done to them is fair or not. I am just so happy that they are now being subjected to what they subjected me to.

The important thing, though, is not whether you or I care about what is being done to them or whether it is fair or not. I think most people who read Malaysia Today have already more or less made up their minds as to which party they are going to vote for. It is the fence sitters that matter more.

For example, most non-Malay voters in Selangor already know whether they are going to vote for Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat. A large majority has already made up their mind. Hence the Chinese, Indians and ‘lain-lain’ do not really matter.

The future of Selangor will depend on the Malay voters. Hence Umno and Barisan Nasional need to convince the Malay voters that all these allegations against the ‘Gang Suaram’ are true. And if the Malays are convinced then Pakatan Rakyat is going to lose a lot of Malay votes. And that would mean Barisan Nasional would be able to take back Selangor, the jewel in the crown.

To me this goes beyond Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat. It is about seeing those people who unfairly accuse me of something I did not do now suffer the same fate.

Is Pakatan Rakyat going to get hurt by this? Who the hell cares! All I care about is that the gang that went out of their way to whack me is now getting whacked and that they might lose Selangor because of it.

I suppose, as they say, revenge is best served cold. Hmm…I am enjoying this so much I’m at the point of getting an orgasm.
