Don't be swayed by Perkasa The Uncivilized Sakai

Public must not allow themselves to be spooked by Perkasa

Instead of engaging with writers in a rational fashion through reasoned arguments, Perkasa as well as the pro-Umno ‘ultra’ bloggers have seen fit to fan crude racial and religious sentiments. Their knee-jerk resort to incitement and instigation is sheer laziness and does them no credit. On the other hand, it only reveals the shallowness of their intellect and poverty of mindset on the important public issues facing our country.

By Dr. Lim Teck Ghee, Director, Centre for Policy Initiatives

On Aug 10, Perkasa made a police report against CPI columnist Ms Helen Ang, calling for her to be investigated under the Sedition Act or ISA.

They alleged: “Helen juga dengan angkuhnya memburuk-burukkan Yang Di-Pertuan Agung Tuanku Mizan dengan mempertikaikan kuasa baginda” [Helen also arrogantly denigrated the Agong by questioning his authority].

If anyone would care to peruse her article – which was published on Aug 4 in the CPI website – he would find that there is no mention or faintest allusion to the Agong or the rulers. How Perkasa came to its baffling conclusion on this purported instance of ‘arrogance’ directed at the Malaysian head of state is a mystery.

Perkasa Youth chief Arman Azha Abu Hanifah who made the report exercised another stretch of the imagination by claiming the content of the article was “clearly written with bad intentions” and “capable of creating tensions” and “a threat to national security”. Arman has also made a similar police report on the article in his capacity as an Umno Youth divisional office bearer.

Utusan Malaysia and other Malay papers carried Arman’s wild allegations against Ms Ang under such headlines as ‘Perkasa minta polis siasat Helen Ang pertikai hak Melayu, Islam’ and ‘Perkasa lapor portal pertikai Islam’ among others. Evidently, Perkasa and their backers in the Umno-controlled media see everywhere threats to Islam and challenges to Malay rights.

This is not the first time that columnists writing for the CPI and other internet websites on issues of public concern such as religion, the Malay special position, the New Economic Policy, education, etc. have been harassed by the right wingers and those elements of our society inclined to fascism. It will be far from the last time.

Instead of engaging with writers in a rational fashion through reasoned arguments, Perkasa as well as the pro-Umno ‘ultra’ bloggers have seen fit to fan crude racial and religious sentiments. Their knee-jerk resort to incitement and instigation is sheer laziness and does them no credit. On the other hand, it only reveals the shallowness of their intellect and poverty of mindset on the important public issues facing our country.

Furthermore, the action to initiate the police reports is aimed at intimidating Ms Ang and other writers from exercising their right to freedom of expression in the national interest. The preference of Perkasa and their ilk is obviously to use the instruments of the state to censor differing views on contentious national issues.

The CPI would like to reiterate that the centre fully stands by the rights of its columnists and contributors to write critically and without fear on areas of key concern.

We call on the authorities to curb the extremist factions of our society who want to silence our independent intelligentsia. We also call on the public not to be spooked by these efforts to induce a ‘chill factor’ which will ultimately affect our public space and suppress our personal liberties.

Senior Citizen’s Outrage: Open Letter To Sharizat

By Orang Lama Malaysian

Open letter to Sharizat


Many senior citizens are outraged by your uncalled for comments about the RM100 given to them by the Penang state government in appreciation of their contributions to the development of Penang.

Your comments indicate how uncultured you are, totally unbefitting of a cabinet minister. You said you are ashamed and offered your sympathies to Penang’s senior citizens because they are worth — according to your absurd calculation — less than RM10 a month in the eyes of the state government.

Can I ask you how much a senior citizen was worth when the BN ruled Penang? Absolutely nothing, Yes Nothing at all.

You went on to say that you thank God that there is a federal government and a Barisan Nasional government to take care of the people’s welfare without which the poor in Penang will be starving. Yes, the BN government looked after the people of Penang so well that on 8 March 2008, they kicked the BN of Penang!

As a senior citizen, let me tell you this. It is not the money that matters. It is the thought, the appreciation and the caring attitude of the state government that senior citizens value most.

Did you say that the BN government looks after the people’s welfare? Let us examine the BN’s track record. The NEP has been in existence for almost 40 years and during this period about 1 trillion ringgit was allocated supposedly to help Malays through ASN, ASB and numerous other government programmes involving many government agencies.

Umnoputras hijacked the NEP and by masquerading as champions of the Malays siphoned off a sizeable amount of the funds to enrich themselves, their families and their cronies. These Umnoputras live in palatial houses and live opulent lifestyles. Look at the posh cars they and their cronies drive and the designer clothes they wear while the poor Malays continue to languish in poverty, even after 52 years of Umno’s total dominance in Malaysian politics. How much have these Umnoputras, their families and cronies invested in high-end properties overseas? How much of the loot is stashed away in overseas banks?

A Morgan Stanley analyst estimated that between 1984 and 2003, RM360 billion was siphoned off by Umnoputras and their cronies. The Auditor-General’s Report bears ample testimony to the plunder of the nation’s wealth.

After more than 52 years of Merdeka, many kampungs do not have basic amenities like piped water and electricity while Umnoputras are wallowing in wealth and luxury. No wonder the income differential in the Malay community is the highest among all ethnic groups in Asia.

You were defeated in the last elections and came into the cabinet through the backdoor. We are ashamed of you No wonder Rafidah poured scorn on you. As minister of Women, Family and Community Development, you did little to genuinely empower Malaysian women, especially Muslim women whose problems — marriage, divorce, custody of children, alimony, property rights etc, etc have remained unresolved. Your failures in this regard are well documented by women NGOs and Sisters in Islam.

You had the audacity to offer your sympathies to the senior citizens of Penang. Let me tell you this:
Shut your face, honey. Guan Eng is making money (for Penang, of course), unlike you and the rest of Umno gang.

My advice to you is this:

Don’t open your mouth to make a bloody fool of yourself. Do us a favour; disappear from the political scene.

Stop monkeying around.

Kelantan govt denies dinar will be second currency

KOTA BARU: The Kelantan government today denied that its gold dinar and silver dirham will be made a second currency in the state.

State Economic Planning, Finance and Welfare Committee chairman Husam Musa said the syariah currency instead was seen as an alternative for use in the barter trade system.

"Several news report about the dinar being Kelantan's second currency are not accurate and have caused confusion. I do not see why this issue has to be blown up following Kelantan introducing the use of the dinar, as it has been around since the beginning of Islam," he told reporters here.

Yesterday, when launching the syariah currency, Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat had said the state would strive to expand the use of the gold dinar and silver dirham in all transactions, including paying civil servants' remuneration.

However, he said there were still many technicalities that had to be addressed by the state government over the use of the currency.

Deputy Finance Minister Dr Awang Adek Hussin in commenting on the move was reported to have said that under the law, currency matters came under the purview of the federal government and Bank Negara Malaysia.

He added that the Finance Ministry and Bank Negara would be studying the action that could be taken regarding the matter.

Letter & Opinion From Joe Public

Najib caught bribing with his pant down

RM350 'duit raya' for Felda settlers

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 101,391 Felda settlers will receive RM350 each in special payment in conjunction with the coming Aidilfitri, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak announced today.

A total of 11,244 other settlers within the Felda settlements, who carried out replanting but not through Felda, will received RM150 each.

Najib said in a statement that the payment, involving a total of RM37.14 million, would be made before Aidilfitri.

"I hope that the 'duit raya' payment will help ease the burden of settlers in their preparation for Aidilfitri.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to urge settlers who are no longer with Felda to return to the agency and help develop the settlements," he said.

PAS: Muhyiddin needs to keep the Malays confused

KUALA LUMPUR: PAS leaders are unperturbed by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s sneaky and deliberate manipulation of their statements.
Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad said that Muhyiddin savours the role of instigator and will manipulate, from time to time, statements made by him and other Pakatan Rakyat leaders.
According to Khalid, Muhyiddin needs to keep the Malays in a constant state of confusion which will then enable Umno-BN to retain its place in the 13th general election.
Khalid was referring to Muhyiddin recently pitting PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang against him on the issue of discounts and subsidies on housing and commercial properties.
“Before this he (Muhyiddin) pitted PAS president against Tony Pua (DAP's PJ Utara MP). Now he’s doing the same with me and Hadi.
“But the fact is there is no discord. Hadi and I have the same views. We both want to help the Malays, the poor Malays not the rich Malays and bumiputeras,” he said.
He said Muhyiddin had his own agenda in playing up the bumiputera 7 to 10 percent discount on luxury and commercial properties worth RM500,000 to RM2 million.
“He loves it if more Malays are poor because this way the rich can continue receiving more subsidies.
"They keep instigating issues to keep the Malays in a constant state of confusion and upheaval,” Khalid said.

Protecting the rich

The majority of the grassroots Umno leaders living in low cost houses don’t see that the rich Malays are benefitting from the 7 percent discount on properties worth RM500,000, he said.
“Only the rich can afford to buy a RM500,000 house. The poor can’t. This is what the section of Umno leaders living in PPRT (low cost) housing cannot see.
“They just support the instigators not realising that others are enjoying the subsidy and not them,” Khalid was quoted as saying in Harakahdaily.
He also questioned the rationale behind Muhyiddin’s defense of the discount and subsidies policy.
“How do we eradicate poverty among Malays if Muhyiddin continues to defend the subsidy and discounts only for the benefit of the rich?” he asked.
He that if Muhyiddin was indeed the people’s champion, he should then campaign for a bigger discount and subsidy on low and medium cost properties.
Earlier this week Muhyiddin had challenged Khalid to support Abdul Hadi’s stand on the bumiputera discount on the basis of the Malay struggle.
The challenge came to pass after Khalid took the 'middle road' by merging Abdul Hadi’s suggestion with Pua’s for maximum benefit to the low and middle income Malay community.

Answer from UMNO: NO!

Taib's billions: Will MACC boss walk the talk?

Of course not or Mahathir will be in Sg. Buluh this afternoon.

KUCHING: Will the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) finally act against Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud now that documented evidence is available over his vulgar amassment of wealth?

Or will its chief Abu Kassim Mohamed step down?
That’s the question being asked in Sarawak's social and political circles.

It appears that all eyes are on Abu Kassim who bragged not too long ago that he will “step down” if “no investigation is carried out on any report, even against a Cabinet minister”.

Thus far, a flurry of reports have already been lodged with the MACC, both in Sarawak and the Peninsula, against Taib based on a series of investigative articles by online portal Sarawak Report about Taib and his family’s multi-billion ringgit property empire in Canada, England, the US and Australia.

The latest report showcased a copy of a private agreement dating back to 1987-1988 relating to shares in Sakti International, a company that owns a building in San Francisco.

The document has Taib’s name clearly emblazoned as equity holder.

The Taib family-owned company is part of an extensive network of companies cutting across international borders. The network includes Sakto, a major Ottawa (Canada) property company, and Wallysons which owns the Abraham Lincoln Building in Seattle (US).

To quote the report: “The damning discovery lays bare a system of private deals, which enabled the chief minister to conceal his true ownership of the properties… Under the system, while Taib’s relatives are publicly registered as the official shareholders and directors of the companies owning the properties, a separate, private agreement ensures that the shares are actually held in trust for him.”

Sham investigation
Padungan assemblyman Dominque Ng download copies of the evidence onto his blog for public viewing and left a posting that read: “Surely the weight of evidence is now such that the MACC will be unable to ignore the deluge of demands requiring thorough investigation into Sarawak’s white-haired Raja?”

But the question remains: will the MACC walk its talk?

No one believes it will, and even if it does they think it will be yet another sham investigation.

According to Sarawak PKR chairman Baru Bian, the people have lost faith in MACC and are of the view that not much will get done.

“Sarawakians are fed up with the fraudulent ways of Taib. They have lost faith in the MACC...

“In Sarawak, Taib’s wealth is common knowledge. Sarawakians have known this for sometime... we just did not know the vastness of his empire abroad and the extent of his wealth. But now there is solid proof…” he said, referrring to documents made available on the Sarawak Report website.

Declaring that Sarawak’s money must be returned to the people, Bian said there was a strong web of deceit and corruption associated with Taib’s wealth.

He also questioned how such wealth could have been amassed on a gross monthly salary of less than RM50,000.

“If MACC does a genuine and thorough investigation of the source of Taib’s wealth, it is bound to find links to corruption involving millions of ringgit in public money.

“This money belongs to Sarawak and must be returned to the people,” he said.

Lawyers Sandiwara

Bon was right to bite, say lawyers

from National Express Malaysia by barred

By S Rutra - Free Malaysia Today

KUALA LUMPUR: Several lawyers have voiced their support for Bar Council member Edmund Bon, who criticised the council for being toothless and not standing up for the rights of the people.
Directing his comments at current council president Ragunath Kesavan, lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad said: “The ear of a leader must ring with the voices of the people and the moment he stops listening to those voices, then he is no longer fit to be a leader.”
He pointed out that council members had a duty and that duty did not differ from the duty of every lawyer in Malaysia, which was to act without fear or favour.

He said that council members were not elected so that they could get titles or accolades or rub shoulders with judges and leaders of the government.

“They were elected because members of the Malaysian Bar want them to be their voice and conscience. The real issues are those raised by Bon (in his interview with FMT),” he added.

Amer told FMT that Bon was not the only one who had heard murmurs of dissatisfaction among Bar members.

He said lawyers and the public were turning to alternative avenues to air their problems because they felt that the council would not be able to effectively raise the issue with the powers that be.

"As a result of this, websites such as 'Loyar Burok' and e-groups such as 'Lawyerstalk' and 'Transformed Bar' have become outlets for lawyers and the public to voice their dissatisfaction on the judiciary or government when such issues should have been taken up by the council," he added.

'CJ and AG have no regard for us'

Agreeing with Amer, senior lawyer T Gunaseelan said the Bar Council's office-bearers were ineffective and no longer served the interests of Bar members.

"It is obvious that the chief justice and attorney-general have no regard for the views of the Malaysian Bar. Important legislations are passed without any concern about the views of the Bar.

"Even measures taken with regard to court procedure are just bulldozed through. We never seem to learn from past experience," he told FMT.

He noted that it was compulsory for all lawyers to be a member of the Bar under the Legal Profession Act but if this was optional, many would opt out.

Lawyer N Surendran criticised the council for not doing enough to stand up against the authorities, and this was apparent in its views (or lack thereof) over the absence of action on the allegations of corruption against Chief Justice Zaki Azmi, which was exposed by lawyer Karpal Singh.

"The council is also not critical enough of the chief justice's arbitrary decision on the administration of justice in this country," he said.

Surendran also lambasted the council for failing to express its views on the courts' tendency of making decisions in favour of the government.

Another critic, N Thirmoorty believes that Bon had hit the nail on the head with his criticisms.

"I strongly believe the council is not delievering what is expected of them and they been selective in their action,” he told FMT.

“Those critical of the council are sidelined and their views are not taken into consideration when making a stand on major issues," he said.

The Bar Council is the leadership body of the 13,000-strong Malaysian Bar.

Poverty has no barriers and Unity too

August 13, 2010

Suara Keramat Pak Sako

Poverty knows no Race, Unity knows no Religion

by Pak Sako (August 12, 2010) @http://paksako.blogspot.com

In an article for the Centre for Policy Initiatives, I highlighted the conflict between PASs religious ideology and conditioning and the pluralist vision of a unified Malaysian society that they, as part of Pakatan Rakyat, should be committed to.

The fact is that the mode of Islamic politics in Malaysia thwarts all effort towards encouraging the religious pluralism that Malaysia is about.

Despite its PAS For All slogan, this Islamic Party has still not addressed this basic matter. The omission is curiously glaring. As it is with the currently dominant religious bureaucracy and elite, so with the PAS bandwagon of leaders and followers, Nik Aziz and all. We continue to be led along a path of social conditioning that perpetuates religious chauvinism.

There is a lack the willingness or courage to energetically espouse an Islam that is concordant with the times and settings, with a highly multicultural, multi-religious environment, where it is conceded that there are multiple paths to a common spirituality and this diversity is celebrated. It is not as if Islam has no tradition of religious pluralism (see here, for example).

Be forewarned that the rigidly doctrinal approach to Islam will turn to bite us back in the future if left to be. Religious supremacy could well replace racial supremacy. This is a pitfall that the former Indonesian president and respected ulama Gus Dur sought to steer his country away from (read here). In Malaysia, the constabulary welcomes extremists who lodge police reports against journalists who speak of a painful reality. The Muslim community keeps silent. Safer to ref! use to r eason, discuss or debate. Indifference. Better safe than sorry.

Insofar as racial supremacy is concerned, PASs MP Khalid Samad should be commended for taking a consistent lead in battering that which is ethically indefensible.

He defends a proposal to relinquish the giving of discounts to wealthy Malays for home purchases as a move to improve competitiveness and investor confidence. Khalid questioned how this would help the poor and maintained that PAS and its allies in the opposition bloc shared the view that discounts for high-end properties do not help the poor Malays, being beyond their budget; and only served to enrich wealthy Malays.

According to DAPs Tunku Abdul Aziz, such discounts are an abuse of the New Economic Policy (NEP). He issues a reminder that nothing in the Federal Constitution accords discounts for rich Malays to purchase multi-million dollar houses.And yet for the proposer, MP Tony Pua, a bullet in the mail.

Objectors fail to see that the amount of these discounts, if instead appropriated for a special fund for the poor, could have a more beneficial societal effect than otherwise. The very rich are likely to hoard away excess sums of money or purchase inessential wants as their essential needs have been satisfied. For the poor, aid such as affordable housing could mean a world of a difference, one between a contented stomach and desperation.

Khalid Samad also notes that poverty in the country knows no race. Indeed so. Poverty afflicts all, even though the racial proportions may vary by place and in the absolute. Some may have wondered if a Chinese ever goes hungry in Malaysia. But read in The Star, for example, of the widowed Malaysian Chinese mother who does without to feed her four children an oats beverage at breakfast, often their only meal for the entire day. The urgency and pain felt by the afflicted, whether a destitute Malay, Indian, Chinese or Orang Asli is no different it is equally acute and degrading.

In the! face of such race-blind poverty, a government, civil bureaucracy or NGO that chooses to prioritise poverty relief by race can only be described as heartless and racist. To proffer an excuse that there isnt enough money to go around would be despicable. Here a country that rakes in an amount of taxes that allows its government to be so prodigal as to allocate a dozen billion ringgit a year (close to 2% of national income or 6% of the 2010 government budget) for the Prime Ministers department alone, a department that is one of the least aligned with the public purpose.

Considering just the haemorrhagic wastages and leakages that occur in public finance and resource management it is clear that there is more than enough for all. And yet perversely the rich are fed at the public trough from which the poor are sorrily kept out.

Note: This piece appeared in the Centre for Policy Initatives website and in Malaysiakini.

See What Barisan Nasional Gotta Say?

Another despicable act!

Dr. Hsu's forum by Dr Hsu

A hidden video camera was reportedly found in the office of the Selangor MB. So far, we still do not know who did this.. But whoever did this must have hoped that he could get some incriminating evidence against the MB to bring him down.

He must have hoped to get the MB in a situation like the DVD sex-scandal actor. Or maybe evidence that this MB might have say something that could be used against him.

This act is despicable.

So far, most people in PJ that I have talked to have said that this MB has performed creditably, and this is indeed creditable, since this is only his 2nd year in office.

The perpetrators may be from his opponents outside his party but do not discount the fact the those Inside his party may have done this. In fact, the most dangerous person is often the one closest to you in politics.

If this thing happens in the States, it would have resulted in a big investigation. Watergate resulted in the resignation of a president.

Whatever it is or whoever has done this, this act is like hitting below the belt.. I am sad that Malaysian politics has sunken to such low level…

No Need Lah. Just Jail Mahathir, Then People Will Starting Believing ...

No stones must be left unturned to find the truth

from Dr. Hsu's forum by Dr Hsu

I cannot understand why a suicide note was found in TBH’s bag, purportedly apologising to his boss for disclosing important information.

I thought all belongings of his were kept by the department the moment he was called in. His handphone was with the department and was not returned to him , so did the department keep his beg too? In that case, how could he write something and put inside the beg if the beg was in the custody of the department?

There are just too many questions. The presence of this letter would not clear the doubts that the public is having, especially as to why only now it has been tendered. There is no excuse that IO cannot read Chinese; there are plenty of officers within the force who can read.

So in light of the so-called new evidence, I would like to reiterate my earlier calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry to be set up. As I have said in many posts about TBH, no stones must be left unturned…

The Long Deferred Path to Reform

by Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad. Member of the Pakatan’s Secretariat.

Amidst the myriad unending political upheavals, some obviously more bizarre than others, the nation (read rakyat) shall now be implored to hold on a little longer and walk the extra mile.

But why should they? Why should they bear anymore of the ‘political nonsense’ of the politicians? Yes politicians of both divides – the BN and the Pakatan.

Call yourselves whatever, the bottom-line is, you are politicians, all the same, whatever that word means and as perceived by the rakyat or the citizenry. So say the (silent) majority of the rakyat.

They are now clamoring for their lives to be reinstated back. Yes back to business as usual. Despondency and dismay invariably fill the air. The ‘collateral damage’ sustained have been enormous. It’s indeed too suffocating and at times rightly so, nauseating. Arguably, an overall perception of an overdose of politics has been around for a while.

Well, admittedly so. After the watershed General Election (GE) of 8 March, 2008, there was never a dull moment in Malaysia. Malaysia assumes the most exciting political spot on the entire earth, at times relegating even war-zone of Gaza and Israel into oblivion.

But why? Why has there been an intense politicisation as never before witnessed after the 12 GE? Seriously, could you please bring this nation back to our ‘usual’ pre-12 GE scenario? Many have begged for this and some claim that the number is growing by the day.

If you are ready to hear, this writer would provide his take on this RM1 billion question.

First, is the bad news. The answer is No. We can’t get back to business as usual. The path back has been erased, almost deleted forever. Really? Well, almost. But wait a moment. Don’t despair as yet.

Second, is the good news. We ‘may’ have found a new path. That path we wanted to take a long time ago, but we somehow lost it along the way for whatever reasons. The long deferred path.

Being on it again may not immediately provide us the comfort of familiarity. On the contrary, the path seems onerous. But over 2 years on it, you somehow feel that you are getting somewhere nearer to where you once liked and wanted to be.

Even more comforting is the fact that you are moving away from the stink and stench of the rut of the former path.

If you are still wondering over what this writer is philosophizing or ranting, he could try to make it simpler. The writer is attempting to provide a narration of the state of the nation half-way our political journey in the 12^th parliamentary session.

Bluntly put but still resorting to metaphors, he truly believes that the nation as a whole is undergoing the pangs of a ‘delivery’. But this is no usual birth.

It is the birth, long awaited for decades. Known only to the Almighty, the arrival has unfortunately been unduly deferred. Many have stood and have fallen for its cause.

Like all deliveries, the pains are as excruciating to even fatal point. But this time it is about the worst of it. The pangs and sufferings shall be even more unbearable as it is about to deliver a ‘very special baby’.

But again as in any delivery, should the nation and the rakyat bear it all, the arrival of the long-awaited ‘baby’ would instantaneously take all the agonies away.

If the ‘delivery’ is to be likened to the next 13-GE, the special baby to be delivered could very well be likened to the ‘New Malaysia’ that we all dreamt to have. Yes, whatever the outcome in the New Politics.

Hence, the reasons the writer has been emphatically saying that the rakyat must not be over-enraged and frustrated by the inconveniences before the ‘delivery’.

The rakyat has just to withstand it for a little longer as to be welcomed to the refreshing world of a New Malaysia.

Now that the rakyat is hopefully making sense of the political scenarios of the Post-12 GE, they are hopefully duty-bound to be willing partners in that political development trajectory. Better still, they should be responsible stakeholders-cum-players, to see that the delivery shall not experience a ‘still-birth’ and the baby a ‘stillborn’.

Mid-way through the 12 parliamentary-session, what the nation experiences is not entirely an impasse or a crisis, which is how it is used to be described as. What the nation and the rakyat are undergoing is a transformational process, a metamorphosis of sort, in embracing the ‘New Politics’ of a 2-party system with its attending features and characteristics.

The emerging New Politics is at times met with stiff resistance from the power-that-be and upholders of the old political order, resulting in skirmishes and occasionally into an outright war, the like of power-grab in Perak.

The unending political turbulence manifests itself in the various forms of conflicts and dissensions of contesting parties championing their respective partisan ends, political beliefs and conviction.

Besides, the upheavals are punctuated by the media expose involving high-profile political figures consequent to the endemic corruption, unbridled abuse of power and malignant cronyism in the system. Examples abound the like of PKFZ, the mother of all scandals, etc. Failing GLCs equally triggered the sinking feeling of despair.

This writer is himself engaged in exposing one currently of a procurement shortchanging the rakyat to the tune of RM500millions. Rightly so, the rakyat is further humiliated and nauseated.

The continuous attempts at subverting democratically mandated state governments of the Pakatan, represent another political aberration of the old Political Order. Heightening intimidation to instill fear is another brute tactic of the old order that is now actively recycled. However, these are inherent in the nature of political contestation that involves a zero-sum game, ie where there is only one winner and worse still, the winner takes all.

This is notwithstanding the heinous crime of trump-up charges of the political leader of the Opposition bench, the like of Sodomy 2.0 now showing, the CIA-American connection etc and mysterious deaths in custody, iconised by the most tragic death of Teoh Beng Hock in the custody of the MACC.

All the above constitute the despair and despondency sustained by the silent rakyat on the back of a lackluster performance in the economy and a rising cost of living.

Be that as it may, what the New Politics has put in place, however, is an effective and pervasive institution of check and balance, ie the 2-party system and hopefully the reawakening of critical institutions of the state plus a much more informed citizenry.

Besides, it is now demanding that contesting parties must be savvy enough to understand the new realities and aspiration of the voters and rakyat at large.

A now-better-informed rakyat and electorate demand that political parties must be seen responsive to their changing demands and higher needs. Otherwise they could very well be assigned to the dustbin of history.

It involves contesting parties unlearning and relearning new ideas and embracing new approaches as to win the hearts and minds of a new constituency of voters – the ‘silent’ majority that has slowly yet surely transforming into an enlarging middle-ground voters. A thousand thanks to the New Media!

The New Politics similarly demands inclusive and rakyat-friendly policy that celebrates dissent and differences, yet upholds good-governance, transparency and accountability as best practice.

Any party or coalition that fails to pay at least a lip-service to these ideals shall be doomed to fail from the outset. At times these new ideas and approaches are diametrically opposed to and at variance with their own professed party’s conviction.

Viewed from this perspective, the pending 13-GE shall present a window of opportunity for all contending parties on both the divides, to reengineer their respective party’s coalition’s commitments and policy prescriptions. Najib is surely conscious of this but he is apparently alone. Others are either in denial mode or simply inattentive to the changing realities of the New Politics.

The New Politics is neither about supporting Pakatan nor about rejecting the BN per se. It is entirely about sustaining the cardinal principle of democracy ie the dynamics of managing dissent and of instituting both formal and informal mechanisms of the check and balance in a 2-party system.

Lest you think that the writer is so passionate and bullish about Pakatan taking over the Federal Government, you’re again mistaken. Whatever the outcome of the next 13-GE is not as important as preparing that the contestation be truly on a level-playing field and fair.

It shall be the newly founded role and function of the New Politics, to ensure that a free and fair election is in place and that a commitment to fair-play by the Election Commission shall ensure that the better coalition or the better candidate, as perceived by the rakyat, be mandated. The election must not subvert the choice of the people.

The real stakeholders of the New Politics ie the rakyat and voters, shall ensure that the ‘delivery’ doesn’t suffer any ‘bridge presentation’ as to connote gross irregularities and frauds, hence ending in a stillbirth again ie the deferred arrival of the New Malaysia.

Pakatan Rakyat is ready to take on the Umno/BN anytime, despite the nemesis superior electoral ‘fire-power’. The odds staked against us are garguantum. But we believe we are in consonant with the many aspirations and goals of the New Politics.

Much as we are hopeful of a regime change at the Federal level, winning is not the be-all and end-all objective of this contestation. There will be always another contest should we fail this time round.

But delivering a Free and Fair Election is! Delivering a functional democracy is! Delivering a vibrant economy is!

Needless to say, the rakyat must first be in grasp with what is happening around here as to be its firm believers, its ardent protagonists and relentless advocates of the genuine Reform.

DAP reps banned from issuing support letters for businesses

from Malaysia Chronicle by admin@ malaysiachronicle

SELANGOR (Malaysiakini) - The DAP disciplinary committee has warned that it would henceforth take action against any party member elected to public office who issue support letters for business purposes.

“The DAP does not condone the practice of issuing support letters for business or commercial purpose as it could be easily abused and misconstrued,” said committee chairperson Tan Kok Wai.

However, the party would not bar elected representatives from issuing support letters for welfare assistance, appeals for reduction of summonses/compounds, application for hawker licenses, education loans and scholarships.

“This is perfectly acceptable as it is in the public interest,” he said.

Tan also urged all Pakatan Rakyat states to disregard business support letters in order to ensure that all commercial dealings are aboveboard and to avoid any negative public perception of malpractice or favouratism.

He said that this has already been practiced by the DAP-led Penang government.

“As a matter of best practice, this directive should apply across the board to all Pakatan elected and non-elected representatives,” he said.

Tan said that this was in line with Pakatan's position of upholding the principle of good governance in the state administration.

DAP has been embroiled in a controversy after it was alleged that its member Tee Boon Hock had misused state government stationary to issue support letters for 20 companies who were vying for RM1 million in government contracts.

Tee has since been sacked from DAP and lost his position as Klang municipal councillor.

Khalid - 'Whatever I do, I know I'll be better than Khir Toyo'......

It has been a rocky two-and-a-half years for Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim, and the glass remains half-full for this pragmatic politician.

"I spent the first six months understanding the administration... and (now) we are trying to correct the activities of the past, some of which are beyond rationality. We stumbled on quite a lot of things... I think hundreds," he said.

But despite all the problems the former corporate high-flyer has inherited, he is thankful that at least it means he does not have big shoes to fill.

"What excites me is that it gives me an opportunity to do better, because I can see that going by the old record, I can certainly do better.

"I can tell you now that there were some dumb MBs previously. I don't come from that group of people," the 63-year-old Khalid said.

High on the irrationality scale

Among the list of issues to untangle is the water tariff, which Khalid feels ranks high on the irrationality scale.

"This is (an agreement) prepared by somebody (else) and the state was asked to sign... an intelligent man - of course I'm not saying Umno does not have them, but there might be less of them around - would ask, 'how much would it cost after so many years'?

"It would cost more than petrol, so we say jokingly, it's better to drink petrol than water!" he said of the agreement signed by the previous BN government allowing concessionaire Syabas to increase water tariffs by certain percentages over the years.

Despite these setbacks, Khalid said his government "is better (than the BN government) by any imagination", even after less than three years in office. Likewise, he was less than kind about his predecessor Dr Khir Toyo, saying that the Umno man did "not deserve to be an MB" and "won't even reach sen! ior mana ger level" at Guthrie, where Khalid was once CEO.

"He does seem to me to reflect the Malay proverb, sambil menyelam minum air (opportunistic). From an investment banker's point of view, he cannot sign a guarantee because his word may not be his bond," he said.

The MB's dim view of Khir extends to the "exposes" that the latter claimed to have made on sand-mining in a bid to discredit the Selangor administration.

"I cannot imagine why they are saying this. (Khir's government) was doing it illegally so they should keep quiet at least! Not saying that we're digging bigger holes than they were.

"But once these people get addicted to certain things, and we withdraw them, then the withdrawal syndrome kicks in, and they act irrationally," he said, shrugging, as if to show how little he thought of the past administration.

Second wife allegations

Personal attacks from pro-Umno bloggers who claimed Khalid appointed his "second wife" as the coordinator of MB Incorporated have left even less of a dent on the self-professed reformist. Going on the record about it for the first time, he said the individual in question is his personal assistant who had been working for him for over three decades now, since his days in Permodalan Nasional Bhd.

"When the previous assistant retired, I offered the job to her because I had worked with her for over 30 years and it is better to have someone I know, to avoid leaks and all that," Khalid said.

Brushing off the allegations, he added that his wife too has known his 50-plus years old assistant, who is married and has two adult children, for over three decades. While BN politicians and cyber-troopers appeared to have failed to get on his nerves, the same cannot be said about Giant, and the 19 other cats his family cares for.

"My daughter is a! cat sur geon (so) we have a lot of cats, but I have a weakness, I have a sinus (problem). I pat them but they can't crawl on me. I'll throw them away.

"Sometimes they'll come next to me and sleep, so I say, 'Okay, you can sleep here for 10 minutes'," he said, trying unsuccessfully to show his distaste.

"There is one cat that only eats ikan bilis, and ikan bilis is very expensive. This is competing with my nasi lemak! Very manja!" said the reluctant cat lover of the tabby that received a special treat when Khalid visited Sabah recently. Giant and his posse may have made their way into the MB's heart, but for now, the shine behind the his often fingerprint-stained glasses belongs to the state of Selangor.

"I'm lucky to be an MB. I want to be a very good MB, I don't want people to say (that I made) a stupid decision. I take pride in my work," Khalid said.- Aidila Razak & Jimadie Shah Othman

Bugs in the office

I am writing this piece at Changi Airport while waiting for my mid day flight. Finally I can home early as the office assignment finish earlier than expected. For the first time this year, I can Buka Puasa at home. Finding a certified Halal food in Singapore that is palatable is really a chore. I am dependent on Sakura Thai Food past 2 weeks. Getting really sick of Tom yam. Over the last few days I was exposed to all sorts of bugs.

Then I read a report on the alternative media where it was reported that the Selangor MB also found a bug in his office. Apparently it is some kind of a web cam device where people can have a view of his office from a remote location. From the picture of Khalid holding the device and the device itself, it appears that it is not a small device. It is about the size of an adult person. It has a screen as well as a voice recorder. Interesting to find such a big and primitive looking bug in the office.

From what has been reported, Khalid has lodge a police report over the matter and I guess the police has started their case. In view of security concerns, the MB now wants a stricter security system around his office. That is a fair route of action which is an expected action.

However, I hope the MB does not fall in the trap of the oldest trick in the book. Maybe whoever plated the huge bug did it with the intention of it to be found. Once found, a proper security sweeping can be done and while the place is being swept, micro size bugs can be placed easily all over the place. This will allow greater access of bugg! ing to b e done. It is a common and probably the oldest trick in the book. How many people realized that if you swat a bug and leave it there, smaller bugs in the form of house fly and other micro bugs comes in.

I wonder who is responsible for security of the State Secretary building and who did the bug sweeping and cleaning three months ago. The Selangor government must appreciate that they enemies within them. They also have pagar makan padi kind of people. Hopefully the state has the right kind of people advising them on such matters. By the way, how many people know that the best place to bug someone place is in his car. There you can put in tracking and listening device easily during service.

My advice to the MB, dont be fooled by the big bugs. Watch out the one small ones which is probably being put in place right in front of his eyes. We live in dangerous times and must take extra precautions.

To Dato Abu Kassim: Dare to Investigate Taib Mahmud

August 13, 2010

Dato Abu Kassim: Walk The Talk and Investigate Taib Mahmuds Ill Gotten Wealth

By FMT Staff (www.freemalaysiatoday.com)

Will the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) finally act against Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud now that documented evidence is available over his vulgar amassment of wealth?

Or will its chief Abu Kassim Mohamed step down? Thats the question being asked in Sarawaks social and political circles.

It appears that all eyes are on Abu Kassim who bragged not too long ago that he will step down if no investigation is carried out on any report, even against a Cabinet minister.

Thus far, a flurry of reports have already been lodged with the MACC, both in Sarawak and the Peninsula, against Taib based on a series of investigative articles by online portal Sarawak Report about Taib and his familys multi-billion ringgit property empire in Canada, England, the US and Australia.

The latest report showcased a copy of a private agreement dating back to 1987-1988 relating to shares in Sakti International, a company that owns a building in San Francisco. The document has Taibs name clearly emblazoned as equity holder.

The Taib family-owned company is part of an extensive network of companies cutting across international borders. The network includes Sakto, a major Ottawa (Canada) property company, and Wallysons which owns the Abraham Lincoln Building in Seattle (US).

To quote the report: The damning discovery lays bare a system of private deals, which enabled the chief minister to conceal his true ownership of the properties Under the system, while Taibs relatives are publicly registered as the official shareholders and directors of the companies owning the properties, a separate, private agreem! ent ensu res that the shares are actually held in trust for him.

Sham Investigation

Padungan assemblyman Dominque Ng download copies of the evidence onto his blog for public viewing and left a posting that read: Surely the weight of evidence is now such that the MACC will be unable to ignore the deluge of demands requiring thorough investigation into Sarawaks white-haired Raja?

But the question remains: will the MACC walk its talk? No one believes it will, and even if it does they think it will be yet another sham investigation.

According to Sarawak PKR chairman Baru Bian, the people have lost faith in MACC and are of the view that not much will get done. Sarawakians are fed up with the fraudulent ways of Taib. They have lost faith in the MACCIn Sarawak, Taibs wealth is common knowledge. Sarawakians have known this for sometime we just did not know the vastness of his empire abroad and the extent of his wealth. But now there is solid proof he said, referrring to documents made available on the Sarawak Report website.

Declaring that Sarawaks money must be returned to the people, Bian said there was a strong web of deceit and corruption associated with Taibs wealth. He also questioned how such wealth could have been amassed on a gross monthly salary of less than RM50,000.

If MACC does a genuine and thorough investigation of the source of Taibs wealth, it is bound to find links to corruption involving millions of ringgit in public money. This money belongs to Sarawak and must be returned to the people, he said.

On Being No 1: Uneasy is the head that wears the crown, says

On Being No 1: Uneasy is the head that wears the crown, says Shakespeare

by Terence Netto*

The Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia@Parliament House

COMMENT Most Deputy Premiers and Vice-Presidents would want to succeed to the No 1 post most, save Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman, Ghafar Baba and Dick Cheney.

Ismail, Ghafar and Dick were content being No 2. That was why their No 1s were happy to have them as second-in-command: they could sleep unperturbed that no conspiracies were being hatched to oust them.

Prime Minister Abdul Razak Hussein was reported to have mused forlornly, Now whom can I trust? when Ismail died rather suddenly in August 1973. Razak immediately positioned a relative, Hussein Onn, at No 2, for more insulation perhaps, against the vaulting ambitions of Ghazali Shafie and the rising popularity of Harun Idris.

Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassins affirmation of loyalty to his No 1, Najib Razak, is only the latest edition of the tribulations the No 2 position is heir to.

Najibs using an underling, Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz, to acknowledge his deputys competency in the acting prime ministerial role he assayed while Najib was on leave, is a game of smoke and mirrors, the preferred device of the cagey when dealing with slippery situations.

To be sure, the deputys role is anomalous: its demand that one be simultaneously loyal and capable of succeeding to the No 1 job requires an equipoise that is very difficult to bring off. Hence the perennial existential angst that comes with being No 2.

Its difficulties notwithstanding, its a necessary role. Imagine the scramble that would break out if No1 suddenly expires without a designated No 2 in place. Oxymoronic as its requisites can be, th! e deputy s is a critical role, and not just in democracies. In one-party states too, it is crucial.

Witness the way President Fidel Castro positioned brother Raul to succeed before going off for specialist medical treatment for a life-threatening problem. Now when it appears he is fit and restored, he is easing back into the Cuban public frame no sibling rivalry there to worry about.

The fact of the matter is that ever since March 15, 44 BC, when 67 senators of the Roman Republic murdered Julius Caesar, the question of who is in the No 2 position has acquired a weighty importance in political history.

From the time of that murder, except in situations when polity-founding leaders such as a Mao, Nehru, Ho Chi Minh, Tito or Mandela were at the helm, the dispositions of the No 2 are a matter of major concern to the No 1, the most recent depiction of this reality was seen in South African President Thabo Mbekis discomfort vis-a-vis Jacob Zuma.

Smart Solution

When Shakespeare observed that uneasy is the head that wears the crown, the comment was taken as not just confined to worry over complex matters of governance of the realm; whats roiling in the second tier was assumed as part of what can disturb the equanimity of the Numero Uno.

The Americans contrived a smart solution: they opted in the 1940s for term limits to the No 1 job, thereby making covetousness on the part of the No 2 pointless.

Otherwise the acerbic assessment of John Nance Garner, one of Franklin Roosevelts vice-presidents in his four-term presidential reign, about the worth of the No 2 position would have acquired cocktail party immortality: Not worth a pitcher of warm piss.

Since then the US vice-presidency has progressively shed its nondescript qualities. Recent holder Cheney and incumbent Joe Biden have had functions with more cachet than the merely ceremonial.

Without term limits on the No 1 position, the frustration of cooling ones! heels in the No 2 role would be destructively gnawing. No doubt Britains Gordon Brown will have plenty to say about this in his memoirs.

But not all long occupations of the No 2 position have been destructive to the incumbent. Anwar Sadat was a seemingly insignificant No 2 to the charismatic Jamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt from 1954 to 1970, only to emerge after his predecessors death to become a pivotal figure in peace-making in the Middle East.

What was his secret? A bit of somnambulism no doubt; it helps to pare the No 1s anxieties. But more importantly, it would have been the ability to keep every fiber of stifled intuition intact, for reconstituting and unleashing once you have reached the top of the greasy pole. In short, the art of keeping a dead person walking a conjurors art.

TERENCE NETTO has been a journalist for close on four decades. He likes the occupation because it puts him in contact with the eminent without being under the necessity to admire them.

The lies and fall of ethnic politics

By Pak Bui

In the week following the police crackdown in Selangor and Penang, featuring arrests of 30 people for holding candles to mark the 50th anniversary of the hated Internal Security Act, leaders of junior BN coalition partners failed to stand up for civil rights.

Instead, Chua Soi Lek, president of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) and George Chan, leader of the Sarawak United Peoples Party (SUPP), chose to speak up on typically parochial issues. Both these veteran politicians cemented their standing as having been left behind the times, reduced to rehashing old and careworn tactics, and bereft of new ideas.

Chua, hoping to burnish his reputation for being a plain-speaking iconoclast, decided to play to the lowest common denominator in the gallery, by making bigoted comments about Muslims. He obviously hoped this would play well among the more introspective and ignorant segment of the Chinese voting bloc.

Chua used a broad brush to tar Muslim-majority nations as primitive and undemocratic. He seemed to think this might earn him increased Chinese support, in the same way as Perkasas racist chants have won (limited) encouragement from the xenophobic section of the Malay electorate.

After Chua was admonished by Umno, the DAP and PKR, he then insisted he was merely quoting from a book, and refused to face up to the flak he drew. This was not a clever excuse: if he had, for instance, been reading aloud from Hitlers bookMein Kampf, he could hardly have protested he was simply quoting someone elses opinion.

As a public figure and an experienced politician speaking at a Kedah MCA conference attended by the press, he would have been perfectl! y aware that his views would have been fully represented by his words, even if he had been quoting from Syed Akbar Alis book.

By trying to shift the blame to Syed Akbar Ali, Chua was merely dancing to Umnos tune, and making pointless excuses. His ignorant statements about Muslim-majority nations being less democratic and poor, because of an emphasis on religion, were ugly and crude. Ong Kian Ming wrote an enjoyable essay, poking fun at Chuas hapless lack of logic.

Some have suggested Chua was trying to retaliate against Umnos prosecution of Ling Liong Sik, one of his mentors. They say this would explain why he criticised Umnos efforts to be holier-than-PAS, at least in superficial issues, like whipping women who fornicate or drink beer, or forbidding the use of the word Allah by non-Muslims.

But any idea of Chua confronting Umno seems woefully far-fetched. After Chuas MCA central committee member Loh Seng Kok angered the deputy PM Muhyiddin Yassin by questioning the ban on the use of the word Allah, Muhyiddin promptly issued a ban on talking about the ban. The MCA then backtracked on Lohs call, in a sheepish attempt to placate Number Two.

It is far more likely that Chua is simply trying to re-position the MCA as a Chinese-interest party, to reclaim a few Chinese votes from the DAP, just as Umno has lurched to the right, following the BNs stinging losses in 2008 and subsequent by-elections.

Old and tired tactics

George Chan, president of the SUPP, finds his party in a similar position to Chuas.

Just as the MCA has slipped easily into a subservient role to Umno, the SUPP has become a footstool to PBB, the dominant party in the BN coalition. Just as Chua is desperate to regain the slew of seats lost to the DAP and other Pakatan Rakyat parties, Chan also needs to re-brand the SUPP.

Unfortunately, he is in an even worse position than Chua. The SUPP is sliding into irrelevance even faster than the MCA, as shown by the PBBs scorn.

Chan has reverted ! to the o ld tactics of political patronage, by insisting that only appeals for refunds of overcharged land lease premiums made through the SUPP would be considered. Those who do not apply through us, it means they do not need the application, he was quoted as saying by the new Sarawak Tribune. He proclaimed that we Sarawakians must have trust and confidence in his party.

This amusing leap in logic surpasses even Chua Soi Leks twaddle about Muslim countries. The SUPP failed to stop CM Taib Mahmuds government from imposing crippling land lease premiums, and was punished at the polls for its slavishness to Taib.

Taibs claw-like grip on the land lease premiums was only relaxed when SUPP was locked in a tight battle with the DAP in the Bandar Sibu by-election. Even this concession was wrung out of Taib by Najib, because the national BN was terrified of losing yet another by-election.

Yet after duly losing the by-election, the SUPP is now pretending that land lease discounts were thanks to its efforts, and insists the refund of the premium can only be made through itself.

This farce is analogous to a used-car salesman selling Sarawakians overpriced clunkers, then refusing to provide a refund unless we go back to his showroom, kowtow and praise his company. But perhaps the comparison is unfair to used-car salesmen.

The only way forward

Both Chua and Chan recognise the need to restore faith in the MCA and SUPP, both proud parties once, and now reduced to mosquito parties. But they are plunging headlong up the wrong path.

Where they need to listen to the electorate and bring up new policy ideas, they are shooting their mouths off. Where they must speak up for justice, they remain spookily silent. Where they ought to encourage prosecution of corrupt leaders, such as those involved in the RM12.5 billion (and counting) ! Port Kla ng Free Zone scandal, or the asset-stripping of Sarawaks forests, land and rivers, they remain fiercely protective of their moneyed leaders and cronies.

Chan and Chua, both medical doctors, are unable to put their fingers on the weakening pulse, to identify their partys ailment. So they are prescribing, instead, the wrong quack remedy: more of the same old ethnic polemic and patronage poison.

Sarawakian and Malaysian voters have changed, but these two veteran politicians have not. They are obstinate in their old ways. They remain in denial that they have only two relatively honourable choices left open to them: join the Pakatan Rakyat, or better still, disband their parties and retire from politics.
