Anwar Ibrahim : WSJ Reports Anwar Did Not Keep His Part of Deal

So what else is new?

"Behind Malaysian Poll Protest, a Peace Deal That Collapsed"

A Chinese Distort

The Malaysian Insider has a Sin Chew article, "Love Malaysia more"

Which brings me to a must read piece by Nile Bowie, "Is Malaysia Teetering on the Edge of an Islamist Knife?", courtesy of The Mole.

From Bowie's original essay, quote,

"It’s quite commonplace to find ethnic-Chinese Malaysians railing against their self-perceived status as “second-class citizens,” but these frustrations don’t live up to scrutiny, as the conditions Malaysia’s Chinese community are subjected to do not resemble that of a deprived community by any stretch of the imagination"

And the most quotable quote"How many, Malays do you see with Chinese drivers?”

What more do the Chinese want?

Adam Adli : Lucky Boy

Free Malaysia Today reported, "Adam charged with sedition, out on bail"

Adam's lawyer, N Surendran, when pleading and objecting to the rm5,000.00 for being excessive,

"The Sedition Act is also going to be repealed. We will file an application to strike out the case at the High Court as soon as possible"

The Malaysian Insider reported what Adam was alleged to have said, both in Bahasa Malaysia and translated to English, which led him to be charged for sedition,

"Ambil butiran saya, buat laporan polis, kerana hari ini, saya nak ajak semua yang ada di sini, kita harus susun dan kita akan turun ke jalan raya untuk rampas kembali kuasa kita! Boleh atau tidak?! Boleh atau tidak?! Boleh atau tidak?! Kita tak banyak masa lagi, semua siap sedia, beli kasut, beli tracksuit, beli seluar jeans, sedia kita akan turun ke jalan raya sebab akhirnya dalam dunia ketiga macam negara Malaysia, pilihan raya takkan tumbangkan kerajaan kita.

"Yang boleh tumbangkan kerajaan hanyalah kuasa rakyat. Sedara, ingat, ini sahaja peluang yang kita ada ..."

[Translation: “Take my details, lodge a police report, because today, I would like to invite all those here today to gather and take to the streets to seize back our power! Can we do that? Can we do that? Can we do that? We do not have much time left, get ready, buy shoes, buy tracksuits, buy jeans, get ready to take to the streets because in a third world country like Malaysia, elections cannot topple a government.

“Only the people’s power can topple a government. Remember, ladies and gentlemen, this is the only opportunity we have.”]

I have highlighted in bold what I believe to be most incriminating.

Yes, it is true according to Adam's lawyer the Sedition Act is being in the process of being repealed but...

But Adam Adli must consider himself very lucky that he was NOT charged under a more serious offence.

Under Offences Against the State, 121B of the Penal Code -

Whoever compasses, imagines, invents or intends the deposition or deprivation of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong from the sovereignty of Malaysia or the deprivation or deposition of the Ruler, his heirs or successors, or of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri from the rule of a State, or the overawing by means of criminal force or the show of criminal force the Government of Malaysia or of any State, shall be punished with imprisonment for life and shall also be liable to fine.

Also highlighted in bold is the relevant transgression and the more severe punishment.

Definition of "overawing" - verb (used with object), o·ver·awed, o·ver·aw·ing.
to restrain or subdue by inspiring awe; intimidate : He often uses that imperious scowl to overawe his subordinates.

and

Legal definitions of "criminal force" and the one I found most appropriate - (h) A incites a dog to spring upon Z, without Z' s consent. Here, if A intends to cause injury, fear or annoyance to Z, he uses criminal force to Z.

I can only advise Adam not to be too exuberant in pursuit of his beliefs to the point of breaking the law.

He is young and as I have said Gen Y are our future, so, he should not get carried away by deceitful rhetoric of the opposition especially the PKR and it's de facto leader.

In the end he may not have a future.

HELEN ANG : A MUST READ

DEAR READERS AND FELLOW BLOGGERS. PLEASE HELP DISSEMINATE THIS STORY.

The article link is here.

Beware The Chinaman

What is so offensive about the phrase - Chinese tsunami? Can anyone deny that the Chinese voted overwhelmingly for the opposition or against the Barisan Nasional?

Remember that chief analyst from Bank Islam who got into hot soup over his election "analysis" prior to GE 13?

This Chinaman is worse.

His name is John Pang.

In a New York Times article, which the Chinaman wrote, selected excerpts and my comments follow.

"In one of the most brazen examples of manufacturing ethnic identity for political gain, Mahathir Mohamad, the prime minister from 1981 to 2003, imported about 700,000 Muslim immigrants from the southern Philippines into the Malaysian state of Sabah."

This is but one of the reasons why the Chinese became a tsunami - believing lies.

For all his credentials, the like of the DAP types such as Tony Pua and Ong Kian Ming, this Chinaman spews a direct lie in the face of facts.

Courtesy of that take to the streets fellow, Haris Ibrahim,

"I can find no evidence that there was a conspiracy between the Government and the Barisan Nasional (BN) at the highest level as suggested by Mr. Maringking. Not an iota of evidence to show the existence of an agreement between the Prime Minister or any other Minister with the Sabah BN regarding the registration of disqualified persons or non-citizens in the electoral roll. The semblance of an agreement in the ‘Operation Gembeling’ or the ‘Mahathir’s Project’ where blue identity cards were sold to these people at RM300 a piece, evidently has no nexus to connect these to the fake identity cards sold. It is a mere gimmick to lend legitimacy to these operations" - High court judge, Muhammad Kamil Awang

The following shows the Chinaman's true colours.

"The Malaysian electoral system is heavily gerrymandered against the urban and Chinese vote."

Why the need to specifically mention the Chinese vote?

When the shoe fits, this is what the DAP fellow, Ong Kian Ming, has among his findings,

"However, several scholars have pointed to its possible occurrence in Malaysia since 1974. Ong’s examination of the 2003 re-delineation in Kedah (a sensitive State in the next general election) uncovers enough cases to point to almost systematic gerrymandering of parliamentary constituencies in Kedah, besides cases in other States. This has made it very difficult for several current PAS MPs to retain their seats in Kedah in the next election."

Before you go, "see I told you so, gerrymandering", the preceeding sentence before the above quote is -

"Establishing gerrymandering, or the manipulation of constituency boundaries for partisan advantage, is inherently difficult."

Without any evidence to back his claim, the Chinaman goes on that oft repeated and tiring lie,

"Over the past week, chartered flights that may have been ordered by Mr. Najib’s office have flown thousands of foreign laborers working in Malaysia’s Sabah and Sarawak provinces on the island of Borneo into key voting areas in mainland Malaysia."

The Chinaman cannot even lie for nuts.

1. BN gives the "thousands of foreign labourers" a Mykad.

2. BN then registers the "thousands of foreign labourers" in key voting areas in mainland Malaysia.

3. The "thousands of foreign labourers" are sent to Sabah and Sarawak to work.

4. The "thousands of foreign labourers" in Sabah and Sarawak are then flown back to mainland Malaysia to vote.

I won't waste my time explaining the election process to slap Borang 14 on the Chinaman's face.

Why did I say this Chinaman is worse than that Bank Islam chief analyst?

You see, John Pang is an adviser to the Minister of Education, Malaysia.

What the f**k!

And Chief Executive Officer of CIMB ASEAN Research Institute (CARI), "which was established in 2011 by CIMB Group as a regional public service in support of ASEAN’s programme of economic integration, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) " to boot.

What the f**k!

Surely everyone knows what the CIMB Group nexus is. Need I say? As the saying goes, although it might not be as appropriate - with these kind of friends, who need enemies?

Never mind, I always say.

The Chinaman ended his resume of lies with,

"If, against all odds, the opposition wins, this may go down as a revolution in which the incumbents were laughed out of power"

Mr John Pang, who has the last laugh now?

Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Go to Church

Church mass last Sunday, a week after the 13 GE polls which I must happily add the ruling BN was returned to govern, was NOT without mention of the previous week momentous event.

But it was a very, very, much watered down call to continue praying. For UBAH, though it was not said directly this time, I dare venture to say.

That contemptible fellow Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim, not content with the opposition's best showing at any general election, is taking matters into his own selfish hands putting cart before horse, with his band of unmerry men taking to the streets to usurp a democratically elected government.

Before proceeding please read, "Rallies? Demonstrations? Stop This Madness!" and
"Election petitions: The standard of proof — Art Harun". And for the impressionable younger generation voters, please take some time to visit the Election Commission portal for the 13th GE, especially the "Voters Guide" or "Pendidikan Pengundi".

Coming back to the subject at hand, if I and others like myself had thought the end of GE 13 would also be the end of politics in support of the opposition from the pulpit, out comes that idiot Bishop, Bishop Paul Tan with his histrionics and pseudo justifications.

Free Malaysia Today, "Bishop: Polls anything but free and fair"

As far as I am concerned, he does not deserve the honorific "Reverend", for I do not revere him. And to coin a familiar phrase, neither is he my father.

FMT reported,

"Bishop Paul Tan said this in reference to the report of the Institute of Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) and Centre for Public Policy Studies (CPPS).

“IDEAS and CPPS have done an interim report. In it, there is this conclusion: ‘GE13 was only partially free and not fair’. I find it difficult to believe that the report could conclude this…

“But when it concluded ‘only partially free’ for the three reasons given that are fraught with irregularities as reported in the said report, the people involved are not objective,” he said.

“From the multiple examples of irregularities arrived in the report, permit me to use a stronger phrase than that of IDEAS and CPPS: GE13 is anything but transparently ‘free and fair’,” he added."

However, "Tan, who heads the Malacca and Johor diocese, conceded that he could be wrong but stressed that he was morally obliged to speak out at this time because of the immorality practiced before and during GE13".

Well, that says it all.

When the Bishop concedes that he could be wrong why then is there a need for all the pontification?

Bishop Paul Tan coming out with his contempt for and could have been attributed to the fact that IDEAS and CPPS on the election report, had said,

"the conduct of the electoral process on nominations, campaigning, polling and results declaration were by the book and proper, with no really serious breaches of protocol that could be observed to skew the polls process"

The justification, quote,

"Tan said while he obeyed the Catholic Church’s teaching that clerics must not take sides in partisan politics, he noted that the church also taught that clerics must speak out against immoralities and against all that go against human rights"

All I can say is, Bishop Paul Tan go tell all the "Fathers" that have taken a partisan position in preaching support for the opposition from the pulpit, rather, to thank God there has been no cases in Malaysia of sexual and immoral assault of alter boys which is a worse abuse of human rights.

Of course, I am not saying or implying that Bishop Paul Tan is encouraging Catholics to take to the streets. Did I?

By the way, what Bishop Tan is telling Catholics, like me, who have voted for the BN - we are all immoral and condone human rights abuses.

The first stone has been cast.

President Barack Obama - No Ubah

US president Barack Obama has telephoned PM Datuk Seri Najib to congratulate our premier,

"President Barack Obama telephoned Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on Tuesday to congratulate the prime minister on his success in getting the mandate from the people to continue leading Malaysia.

In the surprise call, Obama expressed his understanding and acceptance of the process and results of the country's recently-concluded GE13.

In a statement issued here Tuesday, the Prime Minister's Office said that during the conversation, the US president was also briefed on the Government's efforts to ensure the clean and fair process of the elections.

It said that on his part, Obama had agreed to participate in the two-day Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Kuala Lumpur, beginning Oct 11.

"Malaysia and the United States will continue to strengthen bilateral relations through regional and international cooperation," said the statement.

The Star reported.

Let's go back in time a bit for some parallels.

In 2000, when the youngest of first time Malaysian voters were about 9 years old and too young to remember, many Malaysians like yours truly were glued to the TV watching the epic US elections results unfolding and many like me were rooting for the Republican presidential candidate, a certain George W Bush.

Malaysians then, were hoping the Democratic candidate, Al Gore, would get his comeuppance for his kurang ajar "reformasi" outburst at the APEC meeting hosted by Malaysia earlier in 1998.

A Time Magazine report,

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Who's afraid of a little blowback? Not Al Gore. "That is the American message and I am proud to deliver it here and anywhere I go," he told reporters after New Zealand, Singapore and China joined Malaysia in needling the veep for bringing politics to a summit that's supposed to be all business. "APEC is an economic forum," said New Zealand's Prime Minister Jenny Shipley, whose country will host next year's summit. "Clearly there are some pressing bilateral issues that countries want to raise here in Malaysia, but it should not be at the expense of APEC."

TIME Washington correspondent Jef McAllister says Gore's critics shouldn't forget that his salute to "reformasi" Monday was plenty grounded in economic policy. It was Anwar's chumminess with the IMF that got him in trouble, he says, and it's Mahathir's nose-thumbing capital controls, not his long-time thuggery, that have the U.S. so riled. And notice that Mahathir's Asian counterparts were careful to stick up for APEC -- not Mahathir. "He's isolated himself so much from the rest of the region," says McAllister, "that the U.S. really doesn't have much to worry about."

George Bush won the presidency in the Supreme Court and as it turned out Al Gore lost even though he carried the popular vote.

It also turned out George W Bush has been accused of genocide in the US war against Iraq two years later.

Fast track to the present, troublemaker Anwar Ibrahim and his cohorts intend to take the law into their own hands to circumvent results of GE 13, making a mockery of the democratic process when recourse exists to challenge an election result in a court of law under Article 38 of the Election Offences Act 1954.

It is clear that the US has recognised and endorsed that the democratic process in Malaysia as legitimate and there is no UBAH or change in the US-Malaysia relations as a result of GE 13.

Contrived protests aside, opposition supporters most especially from the massive fraud laden party polls party, Parti Keadilan Rakyat or ironically Justice Party, are wishing the courts will provide the UBAH they seek.

God forbid, should the election result be redressed by the election court, spare a thought and be careful for what you wish.

Just like in the 2000 US presidential election when the president was decided by the courts, remember what the winner turned out to be - a genocidal maniac. Moot perhaps, a maniac no less.
