Kata Najib dan Muhyiddin di dalam perhimpunan agung Umno kini sedang berjalan, orang-orang Melayu kini sedang diancam elemen-elemen luar yang boleh memudaratkan hak-hak keistimewaan mereka. Tambah para pemimpin Umno itu lagi, orang-orang Yahudi kini juga sedang dalam proses untuk menguasai negara ini dengan kerjasama ketua pembangkang Anwar Ibrahim. Betulkah orang-orang Melayu kini sedang terancam dengan pelbagai karenah-karenah seperti yang didakwa oleh para pemimpin Umno baru-baru ini? Sampailah ke tahap Peristiwa 13 Mei juga boleh berulang. Ini nampaknya sudah melebihi batas kebenaran kerana kesemua bentuk percakapan yang dilemparkan di dalam perhimpunan agung Umno itu telah melepasi had yang logik. Memang tidak logik dibuatnya. Sebenarnya, Umnolah yang telah merasa diri mereka terancam, akibat daripada pengaruh parti-parti pembangkang yang dikatakan semakin popular di kalangan rakyat. Umno merasa dirinya terancam kerana takut akan kehilangan kuasa pada pilihanraya umum yang ...

Timbalan presiden Umno Muhyiddin Yassin telah memberikan satu amaran yang keras kepada rakyat di dalam perhimpunan agung Umno yang sedang diadakan, bahawa negara ini akan menjadi porak peranda sekiranya parti-parti pembangkang menang di dalam pilihanraya umum yang akan datang. Siapa yang memberikan amaran itu, maka dialah yang akan porak perandakan negara ini dan dialah yang akan betul-betul memastikan agar negara ini akan menjadi porak peranda dengan huru hara dan pembunuhan akan berlaku. Itulah peringatan terakhir Muhyiddin kepada rakyat jelata sebelum pilihanraya umum ke-13 yang akan menjelang tidak lama lagi. Adakah parti-parti pembangkang bergitu berdaya untuk memporak perandakan negara ini? Selepas pilihanraya umum pada tahun 1969, di mana parti-parti pembangkang telah mencapai siri-siri kemenangan yang begitu memberangsangkan, Umno telah merancang peristiwa 13 Mei dengan rusuhan kaum yang mengakibatkan pembunuhan beramai-ramai, parlimen digantung peranannya, ahli-ahli par...

This is indeed very, very surprise move made by the former inspector-general of police Tan Sri Musa Hassan. According to him, during his tenure as IGP, ministers frequently interfere with police investigations and arrests, a practice that continues even up to today. On of those ministers who has been always been interfering in many police investigation and arrests was none other than the home minister and Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein but Musa did not name the other ministers who are also involve. The present IGP Tan Sri Ismail Omar is considered as a yes-man. Among kinds of interference in police works include, direct orders or instructions usually came from officials from the home ministry, the minister's private secretary and political secretary, ministers of other portfolios. Apart from that, in many occasions, police officers below the IGP received instructions directly from the above, thus bypassing the IGP himself. In this case, we would urge Musa to reve...

Here you are, as expected, Umno leaders are bound to warn the Malay community again on the possible repeat of the May 13, 1969 incident (racial riots instigated by Umno leaders after the 1969 general elections). Wanita Umno chief and disgraced former women affairs minister Shahrizat Jalil had raised the spectre of May 13 incident in her opening speech at the Wanita Umno general assembly today warning the over 1,000 wanita delegates of a possible repeat of the racial riots if Umno is weak. So, what is the actual message that this Wanita Umno chief is trying to push into? If Umno is weak, then the Malays would run amok killing everyone again? Is she trying to create attention so that top party leaders would notice her again after she was forced to resigned from her ministerial post following the NFC scandal? Such statement is gravely irresponsible and selfish as she is trying to make a political comeback by using racial tensions to make forward her political ambitions. She is ...

Di dalam perjumpaan pra-perhimpunan agung Umno yang diadakan pada Ahad yang lalu, presiden Umno dan perdana menteri Najib Razak telah berikrar bahawa Umno dan BN sememangnya telah bersedia untuk berubah bagi memantapkan lagi jentera pentadbiran kerajaan dan sambil itu, Najib juga menyeru rakyat agar terus memberikan mandat kepada BN pada pilihanraya umum yang akan datang supaya Umno dapat terus menerajui arus "perubahan" tersebut. Masalah utama di sini adalah, bolehkah Umno ataupun BN berubah, setelah memerintah negara ini lebih daripada 55 tahun lamanya dengan semua kaedah dan cara pemerintahan yang agak kuno dan ketinggalan zaman? Dengan adanya kebanyakan pemimpin lama yang masih menduduki takhta dengan begitu lama masih berkuasa dengan mereka-mereka daripada kalangan golongan elit pemerintah yang masih mengamalkan rasuah, penyelewengan, salahguna kuasa dan penggelapan wang yang berterusan, adakah Najib dapat merubah keadaan tersebut dengan secepat mungkin bagi members...

The mass plundering in Sarawak is getting worst. First they took the lands to built the dams, then they took the lands for logging, now even native customary rights (NCR) lands are being taken away from the rightful and traditional owners. Just what are the Dayak political leaders in Sarawak doing nowadays? Well, most of those in the state Barisan Nasional (BN) are either sleeping on their jobs or they just close one eye to whatever is happening outside there. First, Sarawak National Party (SNAP), Dayak-based party was the symbol of Dayak unity in Sarawak until the party was broke up into various factions, and then emerge Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) when the later also finally went into de-registration following intense factional tussle within the party for leadership. After PBDS' demise, the leaders of this defunct party went on to form Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) and Sarawak People's Democratic Party (SPDP) with both claiming to be the sole and legitimate represe...

During a candlelight vigil last night by a group of environmentally concerned citizens at the Kuantan Port in protest of the mass shipments of the rare earth ore which had arrived at the port recently, a group of mat rempits staged a some sort of violent protest against these concerned citizens using the motorcycles that they were riding to threatened the environmentalist. Looks like Lynas Corporation had got another kind of support, apart from Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN), even these bunch of motorcycle gangsters are now collectively Lynas' strongest supporters. In this case, Lynas should welcome and thank all these mat rempits for helping them to get rid of the people's concerns. It is simply very clear that these mat rempits did not just went to the Kuantan Port there only to disrupt and threaten the peaceful candlelight vigil without gaining anything in return. These bunch of rough guys and bullies could not just go there and leave empty handed. They must have be...

A superbike adventure by a group with police connections yesterday at the North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) has ended with one death, a 53-year old rider.  The other five riders who are riding closely were also injured quite bad. What happened? Well, according to a superbiker, he claimed that they were riding on the fast lane when suddenly a car from the middle lane got to the left side and guess what? All six of them were deliberately hit. One of the injured biker is a traffic police officer carrying the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP). We would not know if what has been alleged by one of the injured biker was true or otherwise, as everyone knows it happened just to fast and unexpected. Furthermore, as seen in some of the newspaper reports, they are all mostly focusing on the "sadness" or "sorrow" sight of these superbikers. Nothing has been reported on what had really transpired from that car driver who had eventually went over to the fa...

The former Umno president Dr Mahathir Mohamad had recently made a statement that the opposition parties in the Pakatan Rakyat coalition are each eyeing to become a prime minister for this country. Dr Mahathir made that statement in response to a resolution adopted at the recent PAS general assembly calling for its party president Abdul Hadi Awang to be made prime minister should Pakatan were to capture Putrajaya come next general elections. Apart from that, an article penned down by Veera Pandiyan in the Star newspaper today had also questioned Pakatan over who would be the next prime minister as there are now two candidates-in-waiting for the said position in the opposition coalition. So, Dr Mahathir and Veera Pandiyan, what is the big fuss of having two prime ministers-in-waiting right now? Has these two guys totally forgotten that Malaysia is a democratic nation? You can have even three or five prime ministers-in-waiting if you want, because this country holds its general ele...

The National Higher Education Fund Corporation or Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN) is now suffering from a large number of non-performing loans (NPL) with billions of Ringgit of uncollected education loans. What happened to PTPTN? Why is PTPTN being managed so badly to an extend that the funds loaned to these borrowing students are being left uncollected? Now, even the majority of these so-called borrowers has by now gone missing, untraceable or just vanished like that. Can the management team of PTPTN explain all these problems in detail? Whatever the CEO of PTPN Agos Cholan is trying to explain, "doing it in a nice way" is totally unacceptable and unbecoming for a person from the management level. This word of his is totally a lame excuse aimed to cover up the various weaknesses within the organization. With the bad debts currently at its edge, the CEO should actually take responsibility and resign from his post immediately in order to pave wa...

The DAP and its ally Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) are now both at odds over who should contest the Jalapang state seat in Perak come next general elections. The seat is currently held by Hee Yit Foong, presently claim herself to be an independent state assemblyman but clearly seen friendly to BN in the state legislative assembly. Hee had previously contested and won the state seat under the DAP ticket but resigned from the party a year later. Her resignation had also prompted the fall of the Pakatan Rakyat-led Perak state government in February 2009. DAP has in actual fact already established a very strong foundation in the opposition coalition Pakatan since 2008, and with this, we are in the opinion that DAP should give PSM an opportunity to take on the seat in the next general elections. We know that in the last general elections, PSM members too have been campaigning hard for DAP. So, why not pave one seat to PSM in order for them to prove their worth. Furthermore, the Per...

Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai Nurul Izzah Anwar telah menyatakan bahawa memang tidak ada paksaan di dalam keagamaan dan beliau berkata demikian bukannya daripada pandangan beliau sendiri. Nurul Izzah menyatakan perkara tersebut berdasarkan rujukan beliau dengan Surah Al-Baqarah 2:256 di dalam Al-Quran. Kenyataan yang satu lagi adalah Nurul Izzah membuat kenyataan tersebut di dalam satu seminar anjuran sebuah institut kajian umum dan bukannya di dalam satu ceramah anjuran parti politik. Jadi, siapakah sebenarnya yang telah mempolitikkan agama ataupun mencampuradukkan agama dengan politik di sini? Dari manakah tindak balas itu datang? Semua pihak tahu, sebaik sahaja Nurul Izzah menyatakan perkara tersebut, tindak balas yang pertama datangnya daripada Umno, iaitu sebuah parti politik yang sedang memerintah negara ini dan menguasai sebuah gabungan parti-parti campuran yang digelar Barisan Nasional (BN). Jadi, sejak daripada hari Nurul Izzah membuat kenyataan tersebut, Umnolah yang t...

Pada mulanya parti-parti kompoen BN, iaitu MIC and Gerakan masing-masing asyik menuduh kerajaan negeri Selangor sekarang yang telah meluluskan projek pembinaan kondominium yang hampir dengan kuil Hindu Batu Caves. Akan tetapi, perbuatan MIC dan Gerakan itu untuk menggugat kestablilan kerajaan negeri semamangnya tidak berjaya apabila presiden Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) Datuk Zainal Abidin A'ala mendedahkan bahawa keputusan dan kelulusan tersebut telahpun dibuat pada tahun 2007, iaitu sewaktu pemerintahan BN di Selangor dan teryata kedua-dua MIC dan Gerakan terlibat sama di dalam proses kelulusan tersebut sewaktu wakil kedua-dua parti tersebut menduduki MPS sebagai ahli-ahli majlis. Dan semalam pada hari Deepavali, pengerusi BN Najib Razak bersama-sama dengan bekas presiden MIC Samy Vellu, presiden MIC G.Palanivel, pengerusi Gerakan Selangor Kohilan Phillay dan para pemimpin BN yang lain telah berarak dan berkumpul di Batu Caves dengan terus menafikan penglibatan wakil-...

Most recently, the Felda Global Ventures Berhad (FGV) a subsidiary of the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) under the chairmanship of a convicted money politics culprit has dropped below the issuing price for the first time ever. Then, the prime minister who is also the Umno president Najib Razak announced strings  of benefits and cash rewards to the entire nation's Felda settlers worth billions of Ringgit in order to ease these settlers' dissatisfaction over the losses suffered by both FGV and Felda over these years. And while FGV and Felda has been suffering from such massive losses locally, they are now dreaming of wanting to do "big" investments in war torn regions, like Mindanao (The Philippines), Myanmar and Liberia, and some countries with unstable political and economic situations like Papua New Guinea, Cambodia and Cameroon. In this case, we would like to know what had actually happened to our money (in our retirement funds), when the Emplo...

Wahai Umno dan kesemua NGO-NGO yang diperhamba olehnya, janganlah berlagak-lagak seperti Tuhan. Siapakah kamu-kamu semua untuk memberikan satu ketetapan ataupun sejenis "fatwa" untuk mensabitkan seorang itu bersalah oleh kerana beliau hanya memberikan kenyataan itu berpandukan apa yang tertera di dalam ajaran Al-Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:56). Para pemimpin Umno dan hamba-hamba NGO di bawahnya tidak berhak untuk mengarah ataupun menentukan mana-mana pihak yang bersalah dan dihukum. Kalaulah seseorang itu benar-benar bersalah, sudah lama orang tersebut telah menerima akibatnya. Tetapi kenapa sehingga kini, orang tersebut masih selamat berada di bumi ini? Janganlah digunakan nama Tuhan untuk cuba menjatuhkan "hukuman" itu mengikut undang-undang "Umno". Itu lagi berdosa, kerana mempergunakan nama Tuhan untuk tujuan-tujuan keji lagi jahat! Apakah dari kalangan para pemimpin Umno tersebut tidak punyai sebarang kesalahan selama lebih 50 tahun memerintah ne...

We were gravely surprise and shock to see that there were about 15 policemen being dispatched to the editorial office of Malaysiakini.com recently to investigate an article published in the online news portal written by a contributor named Steve Oh in support of Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar's statement on the "no compulsion in religion" made in a seminar. What? Why did the home affairs ministry need as many as 15 policemen (most of them of officer's rank) to investigate just a piece of article contributed by a commentator? We want to ask the superior of these 15 policemen, if he is overly politically motivated in mobilising such a big team to probe the article. A blatant wastage of public fund and taxpayers' money. We are certainly confident that most of us would remember the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) mentioned that the police force has been really short of manpower in pursuing their crime fighting effort which had resulted to the crime rate i...

MIC wanted to hold a grand Deepavali celebration at the Batu Caves temple. What else are they trying to prove? If they wanted to conquer the Hindu temple up there politically, we would advise them to forget about their attempt as the Indian community has already given up hope on MIC as an avenue to seek help. But if MIC is there to seek a public apology from the Indian community following their involvement in the approval of the condominium project next to the temple, they ought to do it with full sincere. But if MIC were to use the Deepavali event at the temple to politicise something or to again deny their part in the project which was approved in 2007, they will face the facts that they would be severely punished by the people and God for keep on lying to the people or covering up the wrongs that they had committed. MIC must remember that religion and politics do not mix. If the party insist in putting politics on top of religion, or using the religion to advance their politi...

In the recent news report it was mentioned that PKR vice president and member of parliament for Lembah Pantai, Nurul Izzah Anwar had said that there should be no compulsion in religion even for the Malays. Then, the very next day, an Umno-owned newspaper, Utusan Melayu quickly twisted her statement by saying that Nurul has called on the Malays to leave their religion. Did Nurul really said that? Has she ever mention in public calling on the Malays to leave their religion? What basis does Utusan has to allege or assume that her statements represents what has been claimed "Malays should leave their religion"? So, who actually terrorised the entire situation here? Yes, it was the Umno leaders, their own newspapers and their heavily funded NGOs who are doing all those nasty work around in order to provoke hatred and violence. Actually, what has Nurul mentioned was based on the fact that she had indeed referred to the Al-Quran's Surah Al-Baqarah verse 2:256 which cle...

How shameful are all these BN leaders, Selangor Gerakan chairman Datuk A.Kohilan Pillay, former MIC president Datuk S.Samy Vellu, the three former MIC municipal councillors, S.Rajakupal, G.Jayakumaran, M.Rajandran and P.Kamalanathan. These BN leaders, fearing being exposed by the Selangor state government, made their first move on 26 October last month in leading a demonstration in front of the Batu Caves temple to protest against the proposed construction of a 29 storey condominiums there, accusing the Selangor state government of giving the approval to the developer to commence the luxurious project next to the cave temple. When the Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) and the state government tried to justify that it was the previous BN state government who had given the nod for the project, these BN leaders decided to shout even louder by saying that the Pakatan administration is trying to cover-up something. Finally, the MPS and state government has decided to declassify all...

Kenapa kita katakan bahawa politik yang dipelopori oleh Barisan Nasional (BN) sekarang adalah politik jenis jahiliah? Sebab utamanya adalah kerana BN, khususnya Umno menggunakan cara berpolitik yang ketinggalan zaman, seolah-olah di zaman purba kala. Politik dalam BN yang ditentukan oleh Umno itu selalunya berpandukan kepada politik perkauman, kebencian, dendaman, pembohongan, melemparkan fitnah dan tohmahan, memburuk-burukkan pihak pembangkang, menindas mereka yang tidak menyetujui BN, mengancam keselamatan orang ramai, menggunakan kekerasan untuk mencapai tujuan politik, mengheret Raja-raja Melayu ke dalam kancah politik, mempergunakan Raja-raja Melayu untuk menutup kelemahan mereka, tidak berperikemanusiaan, tidak menghormati hak asasi kemanusiaan, tidak menghormati hak dan kebebesan bersuara, mengamalkan rasuah dan menyalahgunakan kuasa serta mengamalkan dasar pecah dan perintah. Itulah politik BN yang dikatakan ketinggalan zaman. BN tidak berani mengetengahkan polisi mereka...

Pada 4hb Februari 2009 yang lalu, ahli-ahli dewan undangan negeri (ADUN) Perak daripada Umno telah mengadakan "persidangan dewan undangan negeri" mereka di bangunan Umno Perak dan mengumumkan tiga orang ADUN Pakatan Rakyat telah berpaling tadah dan menyertai BN dan Umno, lantas daripada itu, Umno Perak secara spontan melancarkan pemberontakan nekad di dalam usaha mereka untuk menggulingkan kerajaan negeri Pakatan yang diterajui oleh Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin. Siri pemberontakan dan rampasan kuasa yang didalangi oleh Umno Perak itu sebenarnya dirancang oleh Najib Razak dan pengerusi Umno Perak pada waktu itu, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi telah berjaya menggulingkan kerajaan negeri pimpinan Datuk Nizar, dengan adanya sokongan daripada pihak polis, cawangan khas polis dan kor risik tentera. Apa daya kerajaan negeri pimpinan Datuk Nizar pada masa itu, terpaksa berundur daripada kedudukannya setelah diasak dan diancam oleh pihak berkuasa kerajaan persekutuan, wal...

What a mess! What a god dam mess BN has created in Selangor! First, the most powerful warlord in Port Klang at that time; then, they had a super trillionaire former menteri besar (certainly we are talking about that Umno dentist), after that BN took the water supply away from the people of Selangor, billions in Ringgit of the state coffer went missing, and now, the condominium project to be commenced aside the historical Batu Caves Hindu temple. These are the real mess that BN has created for Selangor and now the PKR-led Pakatan Rakyat state government would have to pick up the pieces and face with various public anger, while those who are ignorant would then simply blame the present state government for all these hassles. Well, it has been clearly proven that it was the then Selangor BN state government who had given the approval to a developer in 2007 to build the twenty-over storey condominium next to the Batu Caves Hindu temple. The two BN Indian sitting municipal councill...
