No TAR College in Bintangor? Ask the Ting-Ding alliance

Ding Kuong Hing, MP for P208 Sarikei

Yes, again for the 2nd time, Sarikeian voters have been made jackass! The tycoon who had made a promise during the PRU13 has changed his mind not to fulfill his promise to donate and build TAR college in Bintangor. The same trick had been promised in 90s also during electoral season which resulted in "nil" fulfillment.

Frankly speaking, I knew from beginning that Ting - Ding alliance during the electoral campaign was just to lure the voters. For such a small town like Bintangor which is lacking in various types of education and supportive facilities, I personally do not believe that TAR college will be successful from business point of view. My statement is supported by another college named UCS in Sibu which has been around for quite awhile but has not really attracted many students to study there. Nowadays, most youngsters in Sarikei prefer to seek their tertiary educations and settle down elsewhere in Peninsular Malaysia or Singapore which provide them better opportunities and lucrative wages instead of living in limited hometown.

For an ordinary town like Sarikei which made up of mainly voters working in government services who are "obligated" to support to BN, there's still a thick feeling of taboo for most voters to cross a "X" for Pakatan.

Anyway, BN is good at manipulating their empty promises even when under scrutinized circumstance. The same goes to Ting-Ding fellowship. Now, instead of owing voters a public apology, they turn their back on DAP for the electoral related court mess. Read in the link below, as written by a pro-BN media.

I don't think Ding will resign because of tycoon Ting breaching his promise. Its just part of another BN's scam. So for the hopeful Sarikeians, will you bite the dust for the 3rd time because of another TAR college vision?

Have a nice day!

Labuan blacklisted by G20...why?

Malaysian economy has been in bad shape, ringgit has been weaken by Dollar, people are losing jobs and the latest is that our offshore banking institution of Labuan has been blacklisted. Why? Just click the following link:

G-20 leaders blacklist 4 tax havens

May be its a bad omen or the beginning of a new plague for Najis on this historical day as the new 6th PM of Malaysia. I'm just wondering how much congratulations will be poured on him besides the condolences coming from the grieving people who are doubtful about his future.

When cronies are better than loyalists

Our C4 expert cum next PM cum economic skunk has announced the latest economic stimulus package yesterday. Apparently, the RM60billion stimulant seems to get more negative reactions from the people. Out of the total budget, RM10billion will be allocated to Khazanah (probably to save the GLCs such as Proton).

And how much does Sabah and Sarawak get? Not even 10% has been allocated to them. Remember when Pak Lah came to Sabah and Sarawak to reassure the people in both states that “Sabah dan Sarawak tidak akan dipinggirkan”. From the stimulus package, now you can see it clearly that in crunching time like this, cronies are still regarded as precious and you, the loyal voters are nothing but the peasants of electoral candies. Still I think they will response by saying "Thank you BN, we appreciate your noble candies!".

After months of denial, finally Najib has spoken that the greatest recession is hitting every single Malaysian. Forget about all the rubbish given by his assistant, the mamak Yaakob, for me he’s just a liar. Imagine how far has our government led us in denial from the truth prior to Singapore, US, China, UK and Japan, who already announced their version of tackling economic situation much earlier than us.

As for Najib, his first task before becoming the official PM of Malaysia has now been humbled not by his power but by the force of economic tsunami. He can deny his involvement with the unrest soul of Altantuya (now Al “Hantu”Ya) but his real charisma to lead the country out of this economic recession will be the real challenge to prove his worth as the new PM. The question is no longer about “Saving Private Zambry” campaign but he’s own quality as the new PM. No leaders in the world are spared from this global economic slump, not even Barack Obama or Gordon Brown.

As for the people, we just have to hang on to any trees that we can grab so that our nose can gasp the remaining expanse of air out of the economic tsunami wave until it recedes.

3 Katak Perak + 1 Sandiwara Dog

The nightmare of people’s elected ones jumping ship is back all over again. We have seen a lot of this type of bloody culprits during Tun M’s era. Yesterday, the same thing happened again in Perak. Its indeed another gloomy day in Malaysian politics due to the manifestation of frogs and a dog.

Starring 2 PKR scandalous and DAP handicapped frogs.

Anyway, looking back to all the chronology and the sequels anticipated to follow, I can only speculate on two reasons why they want to execute this decent act. Remember, just speculation, not fact!

1. The 2 PKR frogs are already on the bottom line when they were accused of the embarrassing and greedy deals in return for sex. Well what can I say? If they stick to PR, I guess Najis and his band of law accusers will do whatever they can to make sure that conviction is heading their way. So, instead of putting them in conviction, the desperate Najis (with the shits that BN have now) might have offered them the "decree of forgiveness", assurance on their positions and some compensations for selling their virginity to BN.

2. As for the handicapped frog, I don’t think it’s simply due to Ngeh Nga Ngo ….whatever factor. Its her own H factor. Only she could tell. Since its still CNY, I’m taking the opportunity to say this, “salutation and happy CNY to you. Thank you for your surprising gifts, b***h!”.

Not forgetting the UMNO dog who put some Shakespeare act before re-proclaiming his loyalty back to his old master, Najis. Of cause, nothing is better than wearing the same old smelly dog collar.

So, there you have it, the uprise and downfall of Perak politics under PR in just 11 months. Not forgetting the Sultan who also plays an important role in this dramatic moment.

Now on, I'm totally against frog politicians regardless of BN or PR. Its a form of betrayal and dishonesty to the trust that the people built in them. Its like a man deceiving his wife to have an intimate affair with someone else. Regardless of whatever f***ing statements these frogs gave for jumping, I still believe that high chance are their minds are lured into either money or power or sex. The political change in Perak shows how strong the elements of sex, money and power could overwrite the democratic rights without the consent of the people. This is almost similar to what happened in Sabah when PBS was forced to giveway to BN (especially UMNO) when many were spellcasted to become frogs due to overwhelming rewards.

Well, Communists started their terrorism on Mat salleh in Sg Siput and chaotic moments nationwide before independence. May be this is why Perak is so unpredictable in time where people are living in calmness. Fact or coincident? You decide. May be its time to create a new Malay proverb that sounds like “Jangan disangka air yang tenang tiada species katak Perak”. Do remember me if this proverb is published in Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. I am the copyright owner, you fool!

If there is anyone who feels offended by this article, as a Malaysian “yang bersopan santun” (except for now), thousands of apologies from me. I’m just releasing my anger. By the way, can someone sponsor me for the anger management course? Anyone?

Merry Christmas everyone

Wishing everyone a blessed and happy merry christmas from The People's Power.

Recession is coming to town

As 2008 pulls down the curtain, we are going into 2009 with much greater cautions since recession has now spread over Asia after Europe and US and for sure it’s going to hit our shore soon. If you think Santa Claus is going to deliver the presents to your doorsteps this year, you might be wrong. Due to recession, his Santa Rinas and reindeers might be on strike now. The following song lyric was forwarded from a friend; an opposite version of the Santa Claus is coming to Town which we are familiar with.

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:

Recession is coming to town.
It's hitting you once,
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town

It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake,

HEY You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!

Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake,

OH You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

The different 2008

It’s been a while I didn’t blog since the last post 2 months ago. Time blinks so fast that it’s already end of 2008. In a few days we are going to welcome 2009.

Currently, juggling my time between work and personal stuffs has been really hard. Working at the new place with new portfolio has been more challenging ever. And the preparation for the training overseas has laden my brains with more things to settle in advance.

Back to local political scene, this time of the year is the best to recap what has happened for the past one year. We have seen the biggest political tsunami in history that swept across the Peninsular Malaysia which changes the political geography. We have seen how BN stronghold was demolished by the alternative alliance of PKR, DAP and PAS. Although all of them have different ideology, still they formed an alliance for the first time in Malaysian history to reduce the menacing power of BN.

We have seen after 308 how other BN componential parties start questioning UMNO on their rights, benefits and races related issues. We witnessed how a few tribal leaders seek for premature de-coronation from their top post, taking full responsibility of their parties’ huge loss in the election.

We have also seen in UMNO, how Pak Lah has been pursued to make way for his successor through rounds of UMNO negotiations. Then, some faces emerged to become race champions by making racist remarks on other races. We have seen some new faces making their debut, replacing the fallen villains in 308. The son of ex-PM rises will soon destined to replace the soon faded son-in-law of current PM. We have also witnessed Mat Tyson making a comeback to the ring after years of retreat away.

Not forgetting the MCA hardcore AV star, who was out earlier this year after his famous AV, making a strong comeback to stardom powered by viagra. He is such a lucky opportunist.

Anyway, we have also witnessed the biggest electoral comeback in the history located in Permatang Pauh in which DSAI easily won defeating the other candidate with huge victory. Now, He might have failed to achieve his dream of taking over the parliament but the uproar from the people for change has never died down.

Not forgetting, those who are caught by the guard dogs of BN and put inside the various jails and Kamunting for some decisions ridiculed by BN. Standing ovation to RPK for his enduring state of mind against the misjustice done on him.

Not forgetting fellow bloggers out there who add the sugar and salt to the political scene of the country. Malaysia definitely will be different next year, as 2008 pulls its curtain down.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
