Pakatan’s Chances of Winning the 13th General Election

By Kenny Gan

The 13th general election will be the most watched and anxiously awaited event in the annals of Malaysian political history. Previous general elections have been tame affairs where the result was never in doubt; it was only a matter of how many seats the opposition could wrest away from BN. But the next election will be different as BN faces a real threat of losing power to a united opposition.

Who is the real Traitor

By Dr Tan Kee Kwong

Dear Najib,
Salam. I read with great interest today papers about your comments. In it you were quoted that those who talk bad about Felda & called it bankrupt are to be regarded as traitors to the Nation.

The sad truth is that after you took charge of Felda in 2005, you turned what was a very successful organisation into a financial nightmare. In fact you are the traitor who has stolen the poor peneroka's money.

In Malaysia, Tourists Are Lured by George Town’s Colorful Past

By ROBYN ECKHARDT

BEHIND the Goddess of Mercy Temple in George Town, the capital of the Malaysian state of Penang, a rebirth is under way. For as long as anyone can remember, the eastern end of Stewart Lane, which runs behind the temple, has been marred by the blackened shells of seven historic terrace houses. Several years ago a suspicious fire left the houses roofless. But inside, allusions to a grand past remained: skeletons of timber staircases, bits of terra-cotta tile, indigo patches of lime wash on walls rising 25 feet.

A Simple Analogy

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

Enter Muhyiddin, actor No. 3 in Umno's 'liar politics' 1Melayu, 1Bumi drama

Deputy Prime Minister Muhyddin Yassin's protective comments of Umno-owned newspaper Utusan and its proposed 1Melayu, 1Bumi is unlikely to set off the same fire that snaked through the nation when he declared he was Malay first and Malaysian second last year.

His political rivals warned that it was just a gimmick to satisfy the right-wing members in Umno, with Prime Minister Najib Razak and former premier Mahathir Mohamad already briefed and agreeable to the script. Both Najib and Mahathir had scolded Utusan for its suggestion last week, saying it could destroy racial unity.

The IGP must explain this! We must stop this nonsense brutality !!!

In a free and democratic country, the police should protect its people irrespective of race, economic standing and religion but in Malaysia they don't.  This incident is a clear example of how they operate.  It is clear cut Police brutality and intimidation.  Do you still trust them?

As you can see, even Elizabeth Wong herself was man handled and pushed.  Is that how you would treat an MP ?  Don't dream that Malaysia is a democratic country yet.  It is still living in the dark ages.  How can it be a developed country by whatever date as long as this kind of attitude still exist.  Remember, Adrian, the PA is not a dangerous hard core criminal or terrorist.

Adrian is now safely back home.  He is his parent’s only son.  I can only imagine his parent’s anguish when they first heard what happened to Adrian.  Maybe it was something like what Teoh Beng Hock’s family went through (and still going through).  Maybe also with Easter round the corner, it may stir our hearts to think of what people of passion go through.
.

The fight for justice is a long one especially in a corrupt country like Malaysia.  Perhaps, one day, with the sacrifices of the good and just people, Malaysia can become a developed country but not for now or even in the near future.  Corrupted leaders in Egypt, Syria, Libya had been ousted .... so BN has to go !!!

Malaysia really need reforms desperately !!

Love is more powerful than hate

If the opposition wins 35% of the votes, Barisan Nasional will win 90% of the seats. If the opposition wins 45% of the votes, Barisan Nasional will still rule with a two-thirds majority. If the opposition wins 50% of the votes, Barisan Nasional will still rule with a simple but large majority. If the opposition wins 55% of the votes, Barisan Nasional will still rule with a very slim majority. If the opposition wins 60% of the votes, then Barisan Nasional would probably lose the government. If the opposition wins 65% of the votes, then Barisan Nasional will for sure lose the government.

in the centre of the town.

Businessmen in Bintulu have been eying the opportunity of acquiring the vast area of the Central District occupied by the old airport.

This is public land, of course, and so its disposal comes under the control of the Chief Minster, because (outrageously) he is also the Planning and Resources Minister and Finance Minister and the man who dominates his home district of Bintulu.

Telling the truth................

A woman and her ten-year-old son were riding in a taxi on Seymour Street in Vancouver. It was raining and all the prostitutes were standing under the awnings.

"Mom," said the boy, "what are all those women doing?"

"They're waiting for their husbands to get off work," she replied.

The taxi driver turns around and says, "Geez lady, why don't you tell him the truth? They're hookers, boy! They have sex with men for money.."

The little boy's eyes get wide and he says, "Is that true, Mom?"

His mother, glaring hard at the driver, answers in the affirmative.

After a few minutes, the kid asks, "Mom, what happens to the babies those women have?"

"Most of them become taxi drivers," she said

A letter from customs officer

Source

Hi Pete,

I refer to your article in No Holds Barred entitled ‘About sex and bribery’ and think you got the facts about the Zakaria Chek case on the car smuggling syndicate somewhat wrong.

For you kind information, the Customs Department was not involved in this scam. In fact, much to our exasperation, we were impeded in our investigations.

I was personally involved in the investigation of the case as part of a special task force in 1991. We single-handedly cracked the case after obtaining information from a confidential informant. It was only after we started confiscating the cars -- most of which were Honda Accords -- that the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA; now MACC) approached us and said that they wanted to take-over the investigation.

We then decided that there would be a joint and parallel investigation together with the ACA and Bukit Aman.

The modus operandi, in a nutshell, was that cars from Singapore (presumably stolen but usually deregistered) would be driven by syndicate members into Johor Bharu through the Causeway. Yes, the cars came from Singapore but it went through as ‘day visits’ and then left on the roadside where police officers, who were colluding with the syndicate, would confiscate them and take them to the police impound warehouse.

After about a month, these cars would be forfeited and then ‘auctioned off’ by the police. The ‘auction’ was fixed so that a Mr Chen (a second-hand car dealer) would successfully bid for the cars. Once the cars were auctioned off, they were then reregistered with the Johor Bharu Road Transport Department and presented with legitimised logbooks.

Zakaria Chek was involved and so was the then Johor Bharu OCPD, Dato Rahim, who was charged along with a group of around eight police officers who operated from an office in Jalan Meldrum preparing the auction documents.

When we called in Mr Chen for investigation and questioning, he even boasted that he would make sure that we would all get transferred out and that we would feel the wrath of the police bearing against us. He was always seen with Zakaria Chek and Dato Rahim and even had a personal police staff stick that he carried around.

Our team even wanted to conduct a raid on the Johor Bahru central police station to secure evidence but was advised not to do so by HQ, as this would be the first time in history where a police station would be raided and this could cause irreparable reputational damage. However, we gathered such convincing evidence that Dato Rahim and a few other officers were convicted. Zakaria Chek escaped prosecution but was then stuffed in ‘cold storage’.

We seized more than 200 cars.

Although I cannot confirm whether this is the retaliation Mr Chen meant, a few months after the case was exposed, Customs officers were harassed at the Causeway by traffic police officers and summoned for even the most minor of traffic offences. Many officers ended up with dozens of traffic summonses. This, however, was resolved later through mediation.
