Spain won, but Malaysia stays the same


Finally, we have the new champion of Europe, from the land of Don Quixote. No doubt that Spain deserves the victory due to their superb control of the field and the Matadors that kept the bullish Germans at bay all the time. They had broken the curse of losing, winning their first international cup after 44 years.

While many Malaysians are still amazed and overjoyed by this outstanding performance, our own soccer team is no way to the top. Many years have past since the days of the formidable Mokhtar Dahari, Soo Chin Aun, Hassan Sani, Santokh Singh or Spiderman Arumugam. Those were days according to my dad when we held the status as one of the best in Asia. Currently, based on FIFA ranking, our national soccer team is ranked 169 in the world. While in Asia, we are standing at No. 32 behind our SEA neighbors Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and Myanmar.

Lately, Malaysians are exposed to foreign soccer thanks to ASTRO and ever since then many have been hardcore and fanatic worshipers of foreign teams and clubs such as MU, dress up like their icons and crazy hunting for teams' collectibles. Some to the extent of buying MCs to recover back their sleep after watching exciting match in the early hours of the day. But when it comes to our own national side or pro league, many feel that its not worthy to support and watch those lousy football. See the crowds' attendance at the venue for pro league, its such a disappointment. Don’t blame it on ASTRO for putting live EPL matches every weekends, we should blame the people responsible for the destiny of the soccer in this country.

When the national side lost, the same people will use back the same excuse all over again. With millions of ringgits spent on developing talents at local, are we really putting the right potential players in the development program? With some prominent VIPs, politicians and royal family running the association, no doubt the budget might have drained down to the wrong parties while selections might have been done under biased circumstances leaving the real potential players out of the scope. Even when it comes to small games like the SEA games, the participation from our lowly soccer team is questionable. Are we sacrificing other potential winners for the sake of soccer team?

Malaysia is not lacking in every sense by looking at the soccer facilities that it has. We are experience and proud enough to have organized many 5 stars tournaments. But to get real kicking job done in the right way on the real field is always the number one enemy of our soccer team. Getting the right people to manage, choose and involve the right players to play for the country is something that must be seriously considered. Anyway, for the time being we still have someone to cheer such as Titus James who makes the nation proud, carving his career in France.

Hopefully one day we can see the Malaysian team wins the Asia Cup, at least.

Statutory Declaration on Al"Hantu"ya's murder

A few days ago, RPK had posted the contents of his statutory declaration against his list of suspects in murder of Al"Hantu"ya with her soul now uRIP (unrest in peace). This is a high profile and complicated case, which allegedly involve a few prominent VVIPs, policemen and explosive expert. Somehow, the male ape also seems to be indirectly alleged by RPK. Wow…our youngest candidate for future PM.

At the end of last century, the last most sensational conspiracy theory in the country was the dethroned of DSAI as DPM and allegations on him sodomizing some bastards and involvement in corruptions. Reality or just virtual, ask Dr. M and his band of brothers including the current top two fellas of the country. So, the conspiring culture continues in this decade involving a mysterious murder of a foreign woman, who was murdered in a gruesome way. Allegation was made against DPM’s aide, another Abdul Razak except with a Baginda. From an aide down to murder suspect is such a harsh reality to accept for this scapegoat, now fighting between his life and death in court.

Lets look at the statutory declaration and crack conspiracy based on our belief assuming that the contents are for real.

STATUTORY DECLARATION

I, RAJA PETRA BIN RAJA KAMARUDIN (IC No: 500927-71-5257), a Malaysian citizen of legal age residing at No. 5, Jalan BRP 5/5, BuKit Rahman Putra, 47000 Sungai Buloh, Selangor Darul Ehsan, do solemnly and sincerely affirm and say as follows:-1. I have been reliably informed that between about 10 p.m. on 19th October 2006 and early hours of the following day, the night Altantuya Shaariibuu was murdered, three (3) other people were also present at the scene of the crime;(a) Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, wife of the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak

Of cause in the media, she denied it. Assuming that the husband was behind all these, of cause the wife have no choice but to order someone to erase all the proofs of his deed. As an ambitious Second Lady who has been aiming at the First Lady job for so long, she got no other options but to clear her husband’s affair by all means. Is their real marriage now still noble and the trust between them as strong as before? Ok…we can’t justify this in public nor through media, but may be their servants or closest cliques can answer this speculation, right?

(b) Acting Colonel Aziz Buyong (then Lt. Col.) a C4 expert

Only military personnel in charge of C4 have access to it and only high rank officer influenced by someone powerful can authorize to allow its utilization from supply depot. Remember, detonation of C4 in this case is a form of power abuse neither for war nor military exercise but to blow up someone unarmed.

(c) Acting Colonel Aziz’s wife, Norhayati (one of Rosmah’s ADC)

Like it or not, been an aide to Second Lady, she got no choice but to get involved. On top of that, she doesn’t have to worry about the consequences. For now, she's safe under the protection of the second most powerful couple of Malaysia. Being a good wife to the beloved husband, her presence was very important to cheer her husband and to witness for herself the first ever foreign civilian detonated using C4. The first Malaysian Guiness Record for a documented explosive detonation on an unarmed civilian.

2. My informer states that Acting Colonel Aziz Buyong was the person who placed the C4 on various parts of Altantuya’s body while being witnessed by Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and Norhayati.

Military personnel learn and master this in their military school. Technically, sap sak sui (easy) for a high ranked Colonel with his undisputed expertise.

3. I make this Statutory Declaration because I have been reliably informed about the involvement of these three people who have thus far not been implicated in the murder nor called as witnesses by the prosecution in the on going trial at the Shah Alam High Court. I also make this Statutory Declaration because I am aware that it is a crime not to reveal evidence that may help the police in its investigation of the crime.

Reveal or not reveal, you and me know who are the real people controlling the court. Someone can fake reality while adversely the conspired lie can be made a truth by some high profile fellas. Is there any more justice when it comes to prominent VVIPs like these?
4. I have further been reliably informed that Prime Minister, Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has received a written report from the Military Intelligence confirming what I have revealed above and that the report was subsequently handed over to his son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin, for safe-keeping.

Pak Lah said he didn’t have the report. Male Ape also denied it. Even if they did receive it, they would definitely denied it. Currently, Naj is so important to sustain Pak Lah's stability at top and he got no choice but to close one eye and allow non-ethical stuffs in this matter, contradict to whatever Islam Hadhari rubbish that he started. Another issue here is why Male Ape comes into the picture and not the Internal Security Affair Minister, the Alba man? Why he is more reliable to read and keep the report, since he’s not even a minister besides the normal MP title that he got after winning the controversial electoral result in Rembau. So where’s the credibility of an Internal Security Affair Minister? Funny right!

5. I have also been reliably informed that one of the Rulers has been briefed about this matter and His Highness is fully aware of what I have revealed above.

6. I have knowledge of who has informed me of this matter plus I have knowledge of the Ruler who has been briefed and is aware of the matter but I have agreed that I shall not reveal this information other than mention that the Prime Minister and his son-in-law have been handed a written report confirming what I have revealed.

The reality is, Your Highness might have learnt the impact of this case to the political stability of the country that He doesn’t want to elaborate further after considering all the pros and cons on the alleged VVIPs.
7. The purpose of this Statutory Declaration is to urge all these parties who have been duly informed and have knowledge of this matter to come forward to reveal the truth so that the police are able to conduct a proper and thorough investigation into the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu.

It takes full guts to tell the truth knowing that the information might be intercept by Intelligent Personnel to the extent of threatening life.

And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act, 1960.
SUBSCRIBED and SOLEMNLY DECLARED )
by the abovenamed RAJA PETRA BIN RAJA KAMARUDIN)
at Makhamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur )
this 18th day of June 2008 )

May God reveal the truth and justice for Altantuya’s soul, her family members and the people.

What a Monkey Business

Image was originally created by Kenny Sia

If human beings are pictured like our closest relative, the primates, running a motion to support proposal on certain crisis similar to the one announced yesterday in Parliament, the following might be the outcome of what’s going to be reported in the ape’s news, BH (Not Berita Harian but Beruk Harian).

APES’ TRIBAL COUNCIL, 24 June: The tribal council has finally approved the motion to support the increase of the exchange rate for the barter trade due to rising cost of planting bananas in the Ape’s Kingdom with 129 supporting votes against 78 opposing votes from BR (Banana Rebels) side.

The 129 apes supporting the motion are from BN (Banana Nation) side consist of various species including the endangered species of orang utans representing BN from Sabah and Sarawak. These orang utans didn’t resist the motion even though they are the one badly hit by this change simply because they always feel inferior against the tribal lord, AB (Apek Bigfoot).

While attention was focused on the monkey business issue, there are 2 orang utans, which were absent from the council meeting due to bobby trap threats from unknown resource, in this latest deathly speculation after they and their tribe plan to leave BN. Its tribal leader, the macaque with Elvis sideburn has earlier been questioned by BPR (Beruk Pencegah Rasuah) for receiving extra large bananas quite a while ago.

With this motion now pass for implementation; almost all the apes in the kingdom will be affected. With more forests chopped down for planting bananas, apes are finding it hard to find sources to exchange with bananas, their main source of food, which is monopolized by BN. It has been promised a while ago that due to the increase in barter trade rate exchange, BN will give back 625 bananas per ape’s calendar year back to the apes for those which inhabit at altitude of 2000m and below. While monkeys living in habitat of 250m and below will get the modest 150 bananas per ape’s calendar year.

It doesn't make any different with the freebies. Apes with bigger families are complaining about the hike, which will jeopardize their food consumption due to high productivity rate. Some already consider neutering to reduce productivity. For bigger species such as certain types of orang utans, they will have to re-adjust their lifestyle by reducing their energetic bodies.

As for the BN representatives, this motion doesn’t affects them at all since they own most of the banana plantations with the biggest plot belongs to AB’s empire.-Beruk Harian

This news got its inspiration from:
129 voted for, 78 against governments motion on price hikes
No primates was injured, killed or slaughtered in the process.

Flash News: DAP conditional support

Just read this in Parliament:DAP's conditions for supporting price hike motion.

Clever move by DAP in the oil price hike game. Support the motion on price hike but with condition that allowance of RM6000 per year should be given to citizens. Let see what’s the next step in the game.

A Dam Future For Sarawak

Read this in Malaysia Kini: Sarawak’s 12 new dams alarm environmentalists.

So, after exploiting our oil and gas from our offshore, now BN government wants to exploit our forests to build dams to generate electricity. The title sounds alarming to environmentalists but for Sarawakians, it’s a nightmare that we would like to avoid due to its disastrous impact. With the small size of Malaysia and its smaller population compare to India or China, the people think that it’s obviously ridiculous to speed up energy production to generate 7000MW in such a short time, which is also a waste to people’s money. And why should we let the government to exploit our beautiful land again? Does the future of electricity source in all states of Malaysia comes from Sarawak? And does it worth the effort by becoming an electricity exporter after cutting down the trees and flood the land? If this become reality, once again Sarawak will become the korban victim of another gigantic monstrous development of the nation.

For sure more forests will be flooded. But before the forestlands are totally submerged, the forests surface, rich in timber trees will have to be extradited by the logging tycoons and their troops appointed by the government and the profits will then go to their personal pockets. Clearing of trees will cause disturbance to the ecosystem of the forests including the habitat of most faunas and in worst-case lead to extinction. We will also lost a few thousand hectares of forests and this will jeopardize the purpose of our forests as the environment natural lungs. Losing forests is equivalent to the acute damage suffered by a hardcore smoker due to the shrinkage of the lungs.

What for the government wants to spend millions of ringgits to promote various bio-tech scientific research in our blessed rich forests, which house various type of flora species but at the same time they have already planned to destroy the hidden treasures of these forests to fulfill their demolition agenda. Even before we could find potential medicine and antidotes to cure various diseases or other scientific findings that benefits mankind, the existing forests might already be death conquered by the dams.

Imagine 12 mega dams located at various locations in Sarawak. Constructions of it might be perfect under supervision from expects but nothing is greater than the Hand of God. With more frequent earthquakes occurring in our neighboring countries, there is no guarantee that we will always be spared by the side effects of these earthquakes. Even stronger and frequent tremors can easily fatigue the dam structures and imagine the massive flood that might happen on our motherland. As the world is critically ill, there are so many unpredictable consequences that might happen due to the potential risks initiated by the constructions of these dams.

Of cause, the natives and aboriginal groups will be hit directly, losing their NCR lands, a heritage past down from their ancestors. Their origins, identities, cultures, histories and incomes, which are defined by their inherited lands will be threaten, lining up for possible wipe off. Moving them to new settlements is like forcing them to start a new lifestyle and assimilate them into the government’s agenda. Its against the ethics of human rights.

Look at the native settlement from Kg. Asap. They were forced to move from their original homes to give way to Bakun project. Their forced sacrifice doesn’t worth the compensation given to them by the government. They were ruled out by complicated proceedings thrown in by the government through its biased judiciary system, which doesn’t benefit the native groups.

The Sarawakians are against this type of dangerous constructions, which bring so much negative implications on the nature, safety, lifestyle and the future of the people. We harshly condemn these dam projects in our homelands.

Exploitation by AirAsia on Sibu route during CNY

Many people who travel during CNY using AirAsia between KL and Sibu might have realized this but still many have no choice but to pay a hefty price for the air tickets. Next year’s CNY is at the end of January and most people will travel in between that duration. For this study, I have picked 22 Jan. 2009 and 31 Jan. 2009 as the traveling time. Lets check out a few samples of AirAsia itineraries on the air ticket charges inclusive of airport taxes. All itineraries are created on the same day.

Lets start with KL – Sibu (Total RM802)

KL – Bintulu, which is nearest town from Sibu (Total RM627)

KL – Bandar Seri Begawan (Brunei), which is the nearest international destination from Sibu (Total RM 435)

KL – Tawau, which is located far to the east of Sabah (Total RM 527)

For other international route:
KL – Hong Kong (Total RM830 only!!!)

KL – Bali (Total RM760 only!!!)


In summary:
KL – Sibu: RM802

Other local routes:
KL – Bintulu: RM627
KL – Tawau: RM527

International routes:
KL – Bandar Seri Begawan: RM435
KL – Hong Kong: RM830
KL – Bali: RM760

This makes KL – Sibu route the most expensive domestic route during CNY. This town is not even a tourist spot, commercial nor exotic place, which is still unknown to many Malaysians and foreigners.

Comparing the distance between KL and Sibu, its much more nearer compare to Tawau. Even the closest town from Sibu, Bintulu is cheaper. So, aircraft fuel expense shouldn’t be an issue here.

How about Bandar Seri Begawan, Hong Kong and Bali? These are international routes, further in distance, different airport taxes and fuel surcharges and yet cheaper compare to the KL – Sibu route.

Why? Can Mr. Tony answer my modest question? Is it because Sibu has a bugger (ex-Uban leg kisser) who has successfully made his way into Forbes’ list or due to numbers of logging tycoons? But this doesn’t indicates that Sibu people are all rich or born rich. It’s unfair for us to pay extra for flying on this domestic route compare to the others flying other destinations. Can you imagine how much burden does a big family needs to bear just for the air tickets?

By the time people want to buy at the end of the year, the pricing for this route might have shoot up exceeding RM1000. Its unfair to people who can’t decide their traveling period now pending their bosses approval on leaves and other factors that restrict them to make their purchase earlier. So, is AirAsia trying to mistreat and exploit the passengers in this part of Sarawak at this festive time for the sake of Tony’s pocket?

The Uproar from The Minnow

"So, they lost confidence in me. Ok..let me see...better do my digging first"



SAPP, a small component party of BN from Sabah, had broken the ice as the first component party to show their no-confidence vote to Pak Lah. Yes, and it took an act of courage to stand up, as the tiny ally of BN speak against their big boss for his failure to bring changes that benefit the people of Sabah.

And what happen to all the other parties such as GERAKAN, PPP, MCA or MIC. Where are your balls? Still hiding the head in denial inside the ground like a silly ostrich? Most Sabahans are now sick of all the goodies brought by BN. Recently, Pak Lah made a few promises to bring improvements but those are not the real concerns of Sabahans. Do you give your kid a lollipop if he asks for an ice cream? That’s a simple message Pak Lah, why you still don’t understand? In politics only the strongest survive and by comparing you to the animal kingdom, you are similar to a wounded lion struggling to regain its territory back from the stronger lion.

So Pak Lah, your lack of charismatic aura has failed the people’s trust in your leadership whereas your former sifu Dr. M still has some advises to convince and influence the people, although he normally plays the controversial and unpopular roles in the current field. This is the major different between you and Dr. M.

So is it going to be a deal or no deal for Pak Lah to accept resignation from the people’s demands in near future. We’ll see.

Avoid Illegitimate Child with Condom

This article is written while my lovely wife and myself are still facing a hard reality of an end. 3 days ago, the doctor diagnosed that the fetus inside my wife’s womb is doing positively fine with normal heartbeat at this stage of time and we experience the joy clearly through the ultrasound device. 3 days later after the last visit, my wife complaint of pain and some bleeding and we went to see the doctor again. This time around, the doctor carried out the same procedure and we saw the same healthy fetus again but without the drum-beating signals from the heart. This means that she’s now facing a miscarriage. It’s hard to believe that the good news can only endure for short while.

But looking at the act of throwing away innocent babies by irresponsible couples in the news makes me feel so furious against their moronic act. Even animals make better mothers than these silent rippers. We know that it’s a shameful act to have babies before marriage in most religions, but when it already happens, the destiny of the little ones shouldn’t have ended like faeces in the dustbins, rivers or toilets raided by ants, mosquitoes or stray dogs or cats.

Speaking of guilty, don’t they feel restless when their newborn healthy little cute one is left somewhere unsecured or they themselves have to do the killing before throwing he/she away? This is so cruel. Nowadays, this act is so common now among teenagers even up to college or university students, an age where they can’t even support themselves before others. The occurrence of thrown infants cases might be higher than the one reported in national statistics.

With more and more pre-marriage sexual acts profoundly increase among this group of people, the government shouldn’t denied this but to educate the public on various measures to reduce thrown baby cases. Early education at grass roots is much better than putting allegations on the doers when things have happened. Promoting or educating condom usage in schools, mainstream TV channels or newspapers should no longer be a religious taboo because it is proven vital to reduce anak luar nikah.

So next time, when the guy is erected while the other one excitedly aroused, under an erotic mood, it shouldn’t be a question of shame rushing to the nearest 7 Eleven to buy a box of condoms. Looking at the bright side of its effectiveness to counteract bastard acts, buying and understanding proper usage of condom should be accepted commonly by everyone. Remember early prevention is still better than the feels of guilt and humiliation later.

FUEL REBATES: THE POST-CHAOTIC JAM

Picture courtesy of NST



After government announced the starting date of the rebates collection, you can see how desperate people are, rushing to the nearest post office to collect their rebates. This is the post chaotic traffic jams at some post offices after the previous one at all petrol stations nationwide.

Why people are so nervous about the rebates? Because they are scared that Pak Lah and his ministers will change their minds again by canceling the rebates. Unsynchronized facts told by Pak Lah and his ministers to the media have proven their unreliable credibility in the public’s eyes. A barking dog can tell more reliable truth of incoming stranger compare to all the speculations made by these BN cronies.

Another reason is because this fuel hike does not spare most of us. It unexpectedly burdens the people and with most of their salary almost depleted at the middle of month, not surprising to see so many people cum refugees hunger for this reinforcement.

Many Malaysians have become more alert and sensitive to numbers especially those with $$$. Rebates such as this is hardly resistible. Not surprising if they are some who started charting the milestone of their next salary date on their calendars at home. More and more people are sensitive to hear words such as GOES UP. Ever since government announce something that GOES UP, you will see many disappointed Malaysians come and united as one regardless of their religions, races or backgrounds to show their despair against Dollah on the streets. While GOES UP is sensitive to people, we are grateful that the rain still COME DOWN on our soil and we remain DOWN in contact to the earth from gravitational pull.

With inflation goes up, we would expect more people to live a chicken life synonym to kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang. Rebates or no rebates, without successful attempt to stop the government-Petronas scam, we would expect a tougher life ahead.

Dollah cutting candy intake, no difference to Rakyat

Taking a candy out from pocket and give it to 1000 hungry kids? This is what the people felt after Dollah made his latest announcement to cut10% of the ministers and their deputies’ entertainment allowances.

For PM, ministers and their deputies, entertainment allowances are just another bonus for them since they could hardly use them due to their daily hectic schedules to attend functions or entertainment events organized by their cronies, GLCs or NGOs. Sometimes you made traveling attempts more convenient by attending overseas functions as part of your “holiday package”, sponsored with people’s money and somehow not alone in business class but accompanied by your wife or family members. It’s a very smart way of you to hide all this hidden truth from the people.

Come on, worthless cut is still effortless to reduce the burden of the people’s life. If Dollah wants to understand how the people feel, better read the following “7 measures of highly effective leader” proposed by the people:

Point 1: Slash all unnecessary allowances from your personal entitlements since you have been traveling in official cars, using sponsored fuel, living in large official residences served by maids and professionals, traveling on official jets and sponsored trips, etc. Take economic class and no more business class. In fact, business class is for professionals and businessmen, not for ministers and their deputies who are indeed appointed by the people to run the government.
Point 2: Due to food crisis which also directly link to fuel hike, don’t expect the people to cut down on food consumptions at higher price whereas your ministries still allow the old fashion banquet burning lots of people’s money and ending with whole loads of food wastage, which normally end up in the trash bin.

Point 3: Do your own shopping to understand the people’s pocket. Assuming that you shop using RM100, see how much you can buy now for a round of shopping? Hopefully, you will understand the impact brought by the fuel hike on a family with husband earning RM1000 while the wife is not working.

Point 4: Understand the people’s feelings by taking the public transports during rush hours using public bus, LRT, commuter or monorail services without reinforcement from bodyguards. To avoid the exposure of your identity to the public, the people suggest you to disguise in someone else by wearing a mask and dress up like normal people etc.

Point 5: For holidays, you don’t have to travel overseas spending people’s money. Set an example by spending holidays locally with your family. Perhaps, each minister and deputy should share their personal holiday experience in their traveling blogs at these destinations in a way to promote Cuti-Cuti Malaysia among the people. Besides lower cost and less traveling time, this is also good for the local tourism industry to cut down its dependency on foreign tourists.

Point 6: Due to the fuel hike, you can expect an increase among certain groups of government servants and the people “tasty for drinks” either recorded or hidden. This is not surprising since the cost of living has gone up. You can expect more people to do anything to survive on tighter stomach. Better buck up BPR to prepare for this or else the country’s ranking in corruptions will move to another history.

Point 7: If the people want to demonstrate on the street against fuel hike, just allow the police to give them permits. They will not do any harm nor cause any riots. It’s the best place for them to release their despair emotions. This is still better than expressing their disappointments at workplaces, which will reduce productivity at work and some more doesn’t contribute to the economic growth of the country.

On point 7, lets show our anguish by joining the massive rally on fuel price hike!!!!

"Untuk pinggang kita yang makin lansing kelaparan gara-gara minyak naik, mari kita demo kat KL!!!"

Dollah is coming to Sarawak after Sabah

Ok, after disguising himself as the Santa Claus in Sabah, now Dollah is going to come to Sarawak to present his gifts to the people of Sarawak.

How much do the Sarawakians can expect from Uncle Santa. He and his cronies caused many people stranded in longhouses after Gawai for the depleted diesel supply at fuel pumps. Due to the delay, some people miss their flights to fly back to their respective towns and cities wasting hundreds of ringgit per individual. By right his special visit supposes to be giving a state apology to the Sarawak folks for causing all the travel inconvenience rather than special gifts, which might not be even be good news after all.

His announcement last week didn’t really reach the Sarawakians in rural area. It proves that the telecommunication system in the state has not been urbanized well for people living on upper stream. Luckily this is just flash news on fuel rise. If its a message to warn people of natural disaster? Many would have die due to the failure to receive the message in time.

Many Sarawakians have no choice but to depend solely on river to travel due to non-proper road system. Imagine some people are risking their life against the possibilities of capsized boats or serving as a meal to the large native crocs of Sarawak. After a few generations, not much evidence to prove that transportation is getting better.

Seriously look into this, Dollah. Don’t put your focus only on saving your ass on political issues. The fact now is that Sarawakians are living like 3rd class citizens compare to most of the states in Peninsular Malaysia. So if you want to present a gift, be sure that it benefits the people. Don’t be surprise if BN lost in the next election.

Another edition of Sabah Politics

Very good reasoning indeed on the following article.

Umno at the crossroads - windfall in Sabah

The Sarawakians' plea to Pak Lah's announcement

Dear Pak Lah and those who are concern,

For Sabahans and Sarawakians, the announcement of the new price hike is like a celebration, which turns into a tragedy. While we are still talking fondly about the recent Hari Kaamatan and Ari Gawai celebration, the announcement sounds more like a curse to end the happy and joyous celebration.

In the Land of the Hornbill, we are blessed to have so many types of natural resources. We have coal, bauxite, rainforest and most prominently oil and gas supply that has contributed to country’s prosperity over the years.

Before Sarawak joined Malaysia, the oil and gas production was in the hand of the Mat Salleh. After we got in as part of Malaysia, the scenario has changed. Slowly, Petronas took over the rights in the ownership of crude oil and gas in Sarawak from the state government. Since Petronas is owned as GLC by the Federal government, this means that they have the rights to control our oil and gas. In return, we get only small percentage of loyalty that is distributed to State government.

All these years, Petronas profits have been channeled to build tallest towers, world-class airport, LRT networks, and highways and to fund GLCs such PROTON and the Angkasawan program. When we pay our visits to Semenanjung Malaysia, we are amazed by all the modern infrastructure. Yet, back home in Sarawak, we feel like living as Jakun in our own land.

It makes Sarawakians feel so disgust because

1. We have no rights to determine the future of our own oil and gas resource in our own land. We are not been represented well in decision makings.

2. We have to pay more for every litre spent on car tank and cooking gas compare to the people from Semenanjung Malaysia.

3. The Federal government has many excuses to say that the drop in subsidy is to build better infrastructure. It seems like after so many hikes, the Sarawakians’ hope of feeling a smoother and less bumpy ride on better and wider roads is still far from reach in many places.

So, with oil and gas price on the rise and its importance to meet global demands, the time is right for the federal government to rethink back the significant importance of Sarawak's presence as part of Malaysia. We Sarawakians, demand more loyalties, profits and better treats for the contribution from the oil and gas resource to Malaysia. We would like Pak Lah to reconsider his decision on the fuel price hike in favor of the people especially the Sarawakians.


Sincerely yours,
The Sarawakian people

Not granted PSD scholarship still a Blessing

This is indeed another sad chapter of the country’s history. Again the government has denied recognition for the smart, brilliant and hard working students by increasing the chance for them to be honored PSD scholarships, just because they are non-natives (Chinese, Indian, others not considered natives).

After 50 years of independence, BN especially UMNO still play the role of Malay supremacy to deny the non-natives. So what for the Chinese and Indian people have to sacrifice their votes for the supremacy of a Kris Party who will always play their own version of apartheid policy? Even if Chinese and Indians are important to BN’s victory, they are still treated like the 2nd class citizens. The people don’t see any sign that UMNO would want to allow more numbers of this scholarship with so-called non-native people. Even some natives among orang asli, Sabah and Sarawak are been treated unequally, when it comes to education. Some of these non-native ancestors had reside in this land much earlier than some of the ancestors of the Mamak and Sino Malays serving in UMNO.

Stir a bit on their so-called special rights is like sparking a kiamat movie in making for these narrow-minded politicians and their supporters. No matter how disgraceful W. Ka Siong felt over the PSD scholarship quota, it is unlikely that MCA and other non-native parties will be able to change the situation in the presence of the kris party. But hey, failure not to be offered a PSD scholarship is actually a blessing in disguise, a hidden reality that should be rejoiced.

Come on non-native smart people, why should you wait for the PSD scholarship if you are outstanding and brilliant. Should the government fail to fulfill your hope, that doesn’t signal the end of your future? Other countries also offer similar scholarship to promising foreign students, with much better deals. Chan Sek Keong, the Chief Justice of Singapore is a good example of Malaysian born Singaporean, who excels to the highest post as CJ, as one of the lawyers that secured the republic’s claim on Pedra Branca, which originally suppose to be ours. So, next time when you feel like a scapegoat in your own land, think about the gold outside the fence and the blessings that you can offer to the other side of the world.

Think again, if you are smart, do you think it's worthwhile to serve a government lead by BN and controlled by froggy morons, should they request you to serve the bond period. Come on, forget about it. What a waste to spend your youth, expertise and professional service under a government, which put racial cards as 1st priority when it comes to promotions and various type of restrictions. You as the brilliant breed can do much more better elsewhere than sitting inside the government cells. Right now, you should feel relieve and thankful for the chance of been denied a PSD scholarship.

Politicians are like soccer players

First, prominent candidate for Penang CM Lee Kah Choon leaving Gerakan, then Dr. M, Sanusi and his son Mokhzani leaving UMNO followed by Ezam joining UMNO. After that, Nijhar leaving MIC and Tan Kee Kwong leaving Gerakan. Politicians are like buy-in and sell-off soccer players. If BN political parties are visualized as soccer clubs, the soccer magazine might want to write the description for each struggling club in the following manner. Lets call the league where the clubs are playing as EPL (Electoral Polling League).

1. The UMNO FC aka Red “Kris” Devils
This is the most adoring club among the Malays who seem to be die-hard “makan bola, tidur bola fans of Red Devils. In many games, the referees’ decisions seem to be in favor of Red Devils when it comes to games involving this club against their nemesis. There are some players from BR FC who had been banned for a few years in ISA captivity for been seditious to Red Devils. All the while, the club has been proud proclaiming themselves above the others as the best among the best. This is the only club with Nikee dagger logo printed on the players’ shoes, a sign of their supremacy over other clubs. In the last season, the manager’s decision, Dollah Ferguson to replace some senior players with the new players had created a lot of dispute. Their over confident attitude over BR FC had jeopardized them for another perfect league. As a result, the club lost 4 major games in Kelantan, Kedah, Selangor, Perak and KL. With players such as his beloved talented striker, KJ Rooney in the fray, they are currently a lot of backstabbing by other senior players such as Ku Li Ronaldo.

Due to continuous dispute over the top management, the honorary patronage owner, Dr. M Chalton has resigned from the club followed by Mokh-Nisterooy and Sanusi Beck. To strengthen the misfire in the strikers, Dollah had bought an ex-BR FC player named Ezam to fortify the midfield for the coming season.

2. MCA FC aka The “Yellow Star” Blues
This club is the backbone of the Chinese supporters. Its deteriorating performance in the league was mainly contributed by the scandalous, power struggle in management and failure to execute the Red Devils factor. Owned by a controversial and powerful figure, OKT Abramovich. This man is so powerful that he masterminds the club’s achievements quite well, even to the extent of its players. The club is full of scandal. It lost a caliber manager, CS Lek Mourinho, due to his erected act with a woman just before the EPL season begin. The club’s decision to follow Red Devils’ strategy was seem to be the wrong idea, which cause the team to mangle at the end of the season. Still flip-flopped with internal dispute over the snooping job within the club. Many supporters are leaving, losing their faith in the club, which they had supported since 1940s.

3. The MI FC aka The “Sam” Reds
This club used to be the favorite among the Indians. The club owned by Uncle Sam, got nothing much to show off after it fails to protect some of its fans from been put in captivity for raising match issues against the Red Devils. A few senior board members such as Nijhar Rush, has left the club after serving for so many years.

4. Gerakan FC aka The “KK” Gunners
The KK stands for kiasu and kiasi because many of the club’s managerial team and players are mainly island minded people from Penang. This club always stays in the shadow of Red Devils. After humiliating defeats in almost all of the EPL matches including the embarrassing home defeat in Penang, some of its key players like Thierry K Kwong and KC Vierra have resigned and set to join BR FC for another record transfer.
