Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein last night urged Malaysians to defend and not demonise the police force, now under increasing public pressure to reform after the two recent shootings of teenagers.......

“We need people who are given trust to be responsible for it but not be dictated by the politics of the day or the flavour of the month. These institutions are going to be here longer than the politicians,” said Hishammuddin, whose father Tun Hussein Onn was the country’s third prime minister. Full report here.
Do you still want such a leader having to fly to a far distant land to demonise the rakyat. The rakyat is matured enough, when to give credit and when to attack any wrong doing. This home minister had gone gaga and seems not to be able to function and talk in a proper and right manner. This is one of the sick culture breeding inside umno's circle of racist, arrogant and corrupt leaders.

How can the public trust and support the police force when they are trigger happy, death under detention, corruptions, refuse to take any action against umno/bn members when they broke the law but is quick to fire tear gas, chemical added water cannon against peaceful rallies and candle light vigils, simply arrest for shouting Najib..Altantuya, wearing black or orange T-shirt and just about anything that the public are against umno/bn...etc...

All these bias actions by the police force and this gaga home minister dares to preach to the public "We need people who are given trust to be responsible for it but not be dictated by the politics of the day or the flavour of the month."

This gaga home minister pretends to forget how he defended the most racist and seditious cow head protesters where not a single protester was arrested or detained by the police during the protest.

Voters of Sibu, Malaysia is now very sick, a very contagious sickness of corruptions, racist, power crazy, arrogant, dictatorial and on the way to become a police state. You can feel and see these sicknesses this week in Sibu. Money and goodies pouring in to bribe you for your votes and the police force will simply arrest anyone talking about Altantuya or say anything not to the liking of umno.

Voters of Sibu, you all need to send a clear signal to umno that we do not want a corrupt dictator or a police state to rule this country.

You cannot be wrong by voting PR/DAP but if you allow umno to remain in power there cannot be any bright future for Malaysia.

PR/DAP is not 100% perfect but is surely 100% better than umno. BN exist in name only, all the component parties including SUPP are just umno's puppets without any power.


VOTE PAKATAN RAKYAT / DAP

Today is nomination day for the Sibu P212 by election.

Nomination is closed and three candidates were accepted in the fight for the Parliamentary seat of Sibu P212.

The candidates:

Pakatan Rakyat/DAP - Wong Ho Leng

BN/SUPP - Robert Lau Hui Yew

Independent - Narawi Haron

By looking at the 2008 general election results, PR/DAP will be the underdog in this 11th by election and has a very steep hill to climb.

The seat has some 54,695 registered voters (an increase of 1016 new voters) with 36,389 Chinese (66.5 percent), 12,050 Ibans (22 percent), 5,740 Malays (10.5 percent) and 516 others (1 percent)

Without saying out loud, its in the heart of BN/Supp leaders that the win is theirs but by what majority. The best PR/DAP can do is to bring down the majority of 3235 which BN/Supp won in 2008.

BN/Supp is confident retaining majority of the Iban and Malay voters while the Chinese votes are split 55% for BN/Supp and 45% PR/DAP.

Voters turn out in the 2008 general election was 67% out of 53679 registered voters. The turnout this round may touch the 70% mark.

In order for PR/DAP to win, even by a slim majority, their target should be on the Ibans. Following the Peninsular Chinese voting patterns, PR/DAP may reverse the 2008 support to 55% for PR/DAP and 45% BN/Supp.

Confident BN/Supp will not sit on their laurel but will continue to bribe their way through for a bigger majority.

As I had written on my last posting 1 Desperate & 1 Confused Prime Minister Of 1Malaysia, umno has nothing more to offer Malaysians except by buying them over with money or by threat.

The Prime Minister calls are not worth even two cents. His 1Malaysia met with objection all round with his Deputy claiming to be a Malay First rather than a Malaysian First. His top aid (resigned or sacked) claiming that Indians are beggars and the Chinese are prostitutes while launching, oh my God, one of the Prime Minister 1Malaysia program.

Just two days ago Najib tells Umno leaders to mix with other races, and the response today by umno leaders in Penang State Assembly,

"warned that there would be a repeat of the May 13 riots". Azhar also accused Lim of being anti-Malay and anti-Islamic for his attacks against Umno and Prime Minister Najib Razak.

"This is an insult to the Malays, don't you think that there will be no Malay gangsters, or the Barisan Tiga silat group, who will come here and teach those who utter these words a lesson?" he threatened.


Najib must reign in all these blood thirsty umno leaders or no non malays will ever dare to mix with them.

May 13 is like a war cry to umno and they will not miss an opportunity to raise it, thinking that they can frighten the non malays into submission.

We will let the people judge. I had placed a poll at the top page, please vote.

What Is Your Opinion Of Umno's Constant Threat Of Another May 13?

1)I am afraid and will vote for Umno/bn

2)If they want it, we are ready for it

3)Their threat convince me more to vote Pakatan Rakyat

4)May 13 meant nothing to me

Searching for the details of the "Prime Minister oaths taking" comes to nought, thus my own summary of the Prime Minister primary duty is to serve the King, Country and Rakyat. He had taken the oath to perform his solemn duty as the Prime Minister in front of the King and beamed by live telecast throughout the country. Is it that hard to fulfill the oath taken?

It is not that hard for a Prime Minister to fulfill the oath taken if he is a man with integrity, honesty and sincerity. But when a Prime Minister starts to involve his own political party and at times family members into running his premiership, then it is a cause for concern.

When a Prime Minister feels insecure of his position, he becomes desperate and confused. His sense of direction is impeded with the fear that others within his circle are clamouring and stabbing him from behind to dislodge his premiership. The uprising of the rakyat in the 12th GE tsunami indicates the hatred and distrust of his party and with visible signs indicating the fall of his party comes the 13th GE.

In order to enhance and protect his position, the Prime Minister has to spend most of his time concentrating on political matters instead of performing his duty as the Prime Minister. He has to pacify his own members, Ministers and malay NGOs over his national policies which are not readily accepted, plotting to overthrow States under the opposition rules, attending by elections ceramahs, using all his available power to discredit the growing strength of the oppositions including using the western media to chide the opposition leader.

A desperate Prime Minister, alleged to be carrying baggages, needs desperate move, thus, engaging a foreign PR to uplift his image without any concern at all by spending RM 77 millions plus more to come of the public fund.

Creating a "1Malaysia" which the Prime Minister described as,

“to make Malaysia ….a greater nation: a nation where, it is hoped, every Malaysian perceives himself or herself as Malaysian first, and by race, religion, geographical region or socio-economic background second and where the principles of 1Malaysia are woven into the economic, political and social fabric of society”

but back down on his own policy to support his Deputy's objection, claiming that Malay is always first and everything else second. Does this not show how desperate and confused the Prime Minister is?

Getting the foreign PR to lobby for a meet with President Obama, which a minister acknowledged paying a whopping US$24,207,158 (RM76,820,653) but making a U-turn, (the norm by Malaysian leaders), a week later denying any money spent in securing the meet.

The Prime Minister got bold by claiming that he is equals to President Obama. If the claim by the Prime Minister is true, then, he must also be the most powerful leader on earth, other countries will lobby to meet him and Malaysia is now in the G8 league with veto power. How desperate and confused can a man be to claim what he is not. And to add to his desperation and confusion, his wife is now the "First Lady" side stepping the Agong's wife, the rightful "First Lady", if there is any such title in Malaysia.

Back home, the Prime Minister gets more desperate and confused. With questionable performances by the pdrm, macc, judiciary and his ministers contradicting his policies, the Prime Minister "1Malaysia Government Transformation Programme" (GTP) and NEM are now hanging in limbo.

What the Prime Minister is trying to do now in order to salvage his political future and his own party is by throwing money around using "the public fund". He talks about eliminating corruptions and entrusted upon the MACC to work on it but he takes a different route from his talk. He knows the MACC and EC will not dare to touch him when he offered brides to the voters at the Hulu Selangor by election. "If BN wins this by election, you can come to my office tomorrow to collect the check, if lost, no need to come".

The Prime Minister wanted to be fair, transparent and accountable to the public but he is not willing to abolish the OSA. He call for a free press but he is not willing to abolish the Printing Presses and Publications Act instead allowing his family members to interfere in the media.

The slogans, rhetoric speeches, walk about by the Prime Minister since taking over the premiership a year ago are signs of fear, desperation and confusion. The Prime Minister is now in a "taking a desperate confusing actions for fear of losing power" state of mind.

What prompted me to write this posting is the Prime Minister's latest desperate and confused statement as reported by Malaysiakini:

Najib tells Umno leaders to mix with other races

Barisan Nasional chairperson Najib Abdul Razak has ordered all BN leaders to attend activities organised by races other than their own in order to win support for the coalition....


The Prime Minister has yet to put his own house in order before asking his umno leaders to mix with other races. The Prime Minister is talking as if he does not know the reasons why the non malays are abandoning umno/bn in drove.

How can umno leaders mix with other races when they insisted on the following:

They are Malay first

They are the Ketuanan Melayu, others are pendatang, beggars and prostitutes

NEP is to protect Malay rights

In collusion with racist malay NGO

Questioning the non malays right to the economy, educations, non malays are ungrateful and making other unsavoury statements.


Can the Prime Minister enact a law forbidding all kind of racism and abide by his 1Malaysia policy of every Malaysians are Malaysian First. Revamp the NEP to protect those Malays who are genuinely poor and in need of help.

The Prime Minister has not taken any serious look into how some of his leaders are so wealthy or whether any of them are corrupted. This I can say will not take place unless the Prime Minister himself has nothing to hide.


Spending millions upon millions to coax the voters back to umno/bn folds can only work with some gullible fence sitters and on a short term basis only. This cannot be termed as successful.

Only when the hardcore opposition supporters return to umno/bn can it be considered a success. In order to achieve that, the Prime Minister must be brave enough to implement genuine policies that are fair to all Malaysians and a revamped NEP for all poor Malaysians. Separation of powers for the PDRM, MACC and Judiciary, with man of integrity and honestly helm the top positions.

At the present moment, the Prime Minister is still thinking that he can buy over the voters, using his party owned media and the racist malay NGO to spread lies and fear over race and religion including singing the same old tune of May 13. How long can these actions last?

Malaysia Government is worried that without implementing the GST it will be termed as a pariah country. Their reasoning is plane and simple, other countries have GST we must also follow suit or else we are pariah.

Malaysia maintained these draconian and anti-competitive media laws such as the Printing Presses and Publications Act, Communications and Multimedia Act, Official Secrets Act and Internal Security Act while many countries have discarded these draconian acts long time ago.

So, why is Malaysia not following the other countries that had got rid of all these draconian acts or Malaysia preferred to remain a pariah country?


On Press Freedom, Dr. Hsu put it in a better perspective on his blog which I reproduce below.
Press freedom is one of the most important requisites of a true democracy.

Without a free press, government tends to be suppressive and democracy is often hijacked to suit individual interest.

It is interesting to note that the more oil( petroleum) a country possesses, the worse is the record of press freedom.

Malaysia rank in The World’s Bottom 30% in Press Freedom

Malaysia is not only trapped in the middle-income group, but also in the world’s bottom 30% of countries in respect of press freedom.
