Tears for this New Year

A New Year not to celebrate but mourn for we will face UMNO's brutality with blood and lost of lives and freedom.

55 years of UMNO rule and cronies grab is way too much for our future.

Are we prepared to defend ourselves against Najib's resolution of crushed bodies and lives lost. What about the waving of the keris and vow for Chinese blood?

Do not forget.

The Sultan of Selangor

Methinks the Sultan of Selangor does too much.......

• It is wrong to have as our ambassador someone whose morality is questionable.
  
  
• It is wrong to appoint a corrupt politician to be Chairman of Felda an authority where billions are held in trust for the benefit of Malays who depend on Felda for their future.
  
  
• It is wrong to allow any Minister another day in office if there is that possibility that he might be involved in the rape of a foreigner in this case an Indonesian maid. Yes we know he has not been found guilty of any crime but this is where our integrity as a nation rests. Until he is completely cleared of that suspicion he does not have our trust to stay in office.

What is worrying is that our Prime Minister does not share our concern the frisky ambassador, the corrupt politician and the likely rapist -should be held to the same standards that we would expect of any ordinary Malaysian.

It would seem that those in high public office are NOT subject to the same standards of propriety that we expect of ourselves and from our peers.

That our Prime Minister is guilty of condoning these wrongs speaks volume of his sense of decency.

Selangor Sultan Beholden to UMNO-BN Govt

And now like Perak, they are using a Sultan to do their dirty deeds for them.

Using the Sultan of Selangor to legalize the appointment of the State Secretary.

We all know that the Sultan Of Selangor is beholden to the Barisan Nasional government for his daily bread. He has been making a good deal of money from his many business dealings where, for the most part, the ! BN gover nment have chosen to quietly overlook indiscretions that he has committed.

And now they (UMNO-BN Govt) are calling in the markers they have been keeping on this Sultan of Selangor.

If the Sultan does go in to bat for the Barisan Nasional over this appointment of the State Secretary, then I think he will be opening himself up to a number of issues.

His personal life for one.

Let me get more to the point this Sultan, who is the head of Islam in his state - f**** around with girls in and around Kuala Lumpur.

You **** around with the appointment of the State Secretary, we f*** around with your f*** ing around.

We can start with that non-Malay girlfriend of yours that have served as your regular f*** for a good number of years.

You might think it all good fun and it really is until you realize that the Internet will tell what the newspaper will not!

So tread carefully and think what it is that you are doing.

Go on living your useless life paid for by the peoples money and LEAVE politics well alone.

Interfere with politics then you and your brother Sultans might see the end of your reign as the Maharajahs in India have seen the end of theirs sooner then you think

Puak PRO PERPADUANG Lintang Pukang Mempertahankan Perjumpaan Dalam Gelap 2

(Sambil mencium Kaabah, Tulang Besi telah berdoa supaya Allah SWT
Sesiapa yang mengikut komen2 YB Fatah bin Haron di dalam Facebook dua tiga hari ini akan melihat geng2 perpaduang kepanasan macam beruk kena belacan. Masing2 cuba membawa pelbagai cara untuk "menafikan" berlakunya perjumpaan tersebut. Antara percubaan mereka adalah mempersoalkan tarikh perjumpaan antara PResiden dan Timbalan Presiden PAS bersama Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden UMNO.

Mengikut mereka pada tarikh tersebut (23 October 2010) Tuan Guru Presiden berada di London.

Namun, dijawab oleh YB Fatah Iskandar:

Abdul Fatah Bin Haron
Guano sampai ada orang nak menafikan fakta saya sangggup berbohong pula ni. Kalau pun nak pertahan orang demo sayang jangan sampai peringkat berbohong dengan mengatakan pemimpin itu pergi London tarikh tersebut. Betul lah tarikh tersebut dia pergi London tapi dia naik kapal terbang malam, perjumpaan tersebut siang hari tarikh yang sama. Guana agaknya?kang ambo kubang kang berselerak habis kang. kang letang pukang

Bagi saya puak pro perpaduang dah jadi lintang pukang. Percubaan pertama mereka adalah seperti di atas. Yakni menggunakan "alibi" kononnya Presiden PAS berada di luar negeri. Tapi, sayangnya percubaan mereka yang kali ini gagal.

USTAZ NASARUDDIN MENIPU LAGI SEKALI BERKENAAN PERTEMUAN DALAM GELAP 2?

Seorang lagi ahli pro perpaduang bernama "MRK ALBANJARI menyatakan:



Mrk Albanjari
YB...siapa yg bincangkan tentang UG ni lagi?..... ana baru hubungi ust Nasa ...dia kata dia pun tak tahu menahu langsung tentang perkara ni..... Presiden juga kini dlm perjalanan balik dari UK...so siapa yg bertanggungjawab terhadap pertemuan ni.... YB kena perjelaskan perkara ni.... isu UG ni langsung tak releven dah sekarang...itu hakikatnya..... nak berpadu dgn umno sekarang amat mustahil...! ..
Namun seorang lagi blogger pro PERADUANG bernama "Penawar Rinduku" akhirnya MENGAKU pertemuan tersebut berlaku. Namun, beliau berkata:

Penawar Rinduku Abe Tah....pertamuan tu memang betul tapi jalan cerita yang bohong....jange buat perangai budok budok gok.....demo jah hok tua dok main FB laye ko budok2 sedor diri gok sikit....Galas tu lagu mano?

Adakah ini bermakna Ustaz Nasaruddin telah menipu lagi sekali? Pertemuan Dalam Gelap kali pertama dahulu pun beliau nafi, tetapi kemudiannya diakui oleh Pak Lah.

Sekarang ni nampaknya perkara yang sama berulang lagi?

BERTEMU UNTUK MENERANGKAN DASAR DAN POLISI PARTI?

Seterusnya Penawar Rinduku tambah:

Penawar Rinduku Abe Tah jange jadi jenis mudoh lupo...kita doh tulak UG namun dalam maso samo kita akan menemui semua pihak bagi menjelaskan dasar dan polisi kito....bo lah dok wirid putrajaya....putrajaya...putrajaya.....

Bertemu dengan Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden UMNO dalam gelap untuk menerangkan polisi dan dasar parti?

Untuk apa? Supaya Presiden UMNO menyokong dasar PAS? Supaya Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden UMNO mendokong dasar dan polisi PAS? Sejak bilakah dalam sejarah Malaysia Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden UMNO boleh memberi sokongan terbuka kepada dasar dan polisi PAS?

Bagi saya, ini adalah alasan paling dangkal digunakan untuk menjustifikasi pertemuan dalam gelap kedua. Saya rasa orang gila pun susah nak percaya cerita macam ni?

Yang menjadi isu sekarang ini adalah mengapa pertemuan dalam gelap seperti ini masih diteruskan sedangkan keputusan Muktamar jelas mahukan PAS mengukuhkan hubungan di dalam Pakatan Rakyat.

Pertemuan dalam gelap sebegini BAKAL melemahkan Pakatan Rakyat seterusnya melanggar keputusan Muktamar sebelum ini.

Is the Sultan of Selangor INTENTIONALLY Precipitating a Constitutional Crisis in SELANGOR?

Read here for more in Malaysian Insider


The controversial appointment of Datuk Mohd Khusrin Munawi as the Selangor state secretary may lead to a constitutional crisis IF the Selangor Sultan carries out a planned swearing-in ceremony for the post on January 6.

Constitutional experts argued today that the ceremony, scheduled for next Thursday, was unlawful as the state constitution dictates that the oath of office has to be done in front of the Selangor mentri besar, and NOT the Selangor Sultan.

The Selangor government has insisted it has the final say in deciding the state secretary, after the Selangor Sultan agreed with Putrajaya to appoint Mohd Khusrin as state secretary despite Khalid having his own list of names for the top civil service post in the countrys wealthiest state.

It is understood however that outgoing state secretary Datuk Ramli Mahmuds official oath of office was done in the presence of Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah back in March 2006, during the previous Barisan Nasional (BN) Selangor government.

Karpal Singh told The Malaysian Insider:The Sultan has to seek legal advice from the state legal adviser before proceeding with this ceremony. On a matter like this, the Sultan acts on executive advice, His Highness cannot do it on his own.

The concern is that if the ceremony is carried out, it can be declared null and void by a court of law. This is unconstitutional, as it is not within the provisions of the state constitution.

The state constitution does NOT allow for this.

It could lead into a constitutional crisis because it is not in line with the state constitution... but I hope this does not happen, that is why the Sultan must be extra careful before going through with this,

I am actually looking at the laws right now... I have! been as ked to help on behalf of the MB.

The act of the Sultan can be taken up in a court of law. The veteran lawyer revealed that he had been asked by Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to look into the legal aspects of the matter personally.

Article 52 (4) of the Selangor state constitution stipulates that the state secretary shall take and subscribe in the presence of the Mentri Besar the following oath of secrecy.

There is no mention that the state secretarys oath of office has to be done in the presence of the Sultan.

Constitutional expert Prof A. Aziz Bari claimed that the swearing-in ceremony of the state secretary in front of the Selangor Sultan was a new practice, saying that he was not aware that such a ceremony existed.

Aziz said,As far as I know this is the first time such a ceremony is being held, even though I feel that it is only an official function and such a ceremony is not needed.

There is NOTHING in the state constitution which supported the basis for the planned ceremony.

I dont think this logic can be used, it is like a state assembly Speaker not having the power to take action against state lawmakers, but the Parliament Speaker being able to do otherwise. The political secretary to the Selangor MB, Faekah Husin, confirmed today that the MBs office received invitation letters for the January 6 ceremony three days ago.

Khalid has himself indicated that he will not accept Mohd Khusrin as Selangors new state secretary.

During a solat hajat function last night at his residence in Shah Alam, the Selangor MB had stressed that he still had the option to not accept Mohd Khusrin by not agreeing to him taking the oath of secrecy.

PAS MP Khalid Samad told The Malaysian Insider:If Mohd Khusrin does not take the oath of secrecy in front of the MB, then he cannot perform his duties as state secretary fully.

He cannot attend state ex! co meeti ngs or be privy to state secrets.

Sure he will be state secretary in name but not by duty. MB is implying that this is the option Selangor has, to not allow the state secretary to angkat sumpah (take the oath)."
The Shah Alam MP was among those present during Khalids function last night, where the Selangor MB made his first public statement on the matter.

The Chief Secretary to the Government announced on Monday Mohd Khusrins promotion to replace Ramli, who leaves on December 31.

BN does not respect law ... UMNO is LAWLESS

Rule of law must prevail — P. Ramakrishnan

The Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan, has precipitated a constitutional crisis in Selangor by ignoring time-honoured norms and constitutional requirements in naming the Selangor State Secretary unilaterally.

In any appointment to a state, there must be consultation before a final decision is taken. This sensible approach has been completely sidelined. Mohd Sidek had chosen to ride roughshod over the Mentri Besar of Selangor, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim. In doing so, Malaysians are wondering whether he is acting strictly as a civil servant or as a political tool of the Barisan Nasional.

It is a matter of grave concern for Aliran when a functioning state constitution is not respected and its provisions not honoured. It has been pointed out by legal experts that according to Article 52(4) of the Selangor state constitution the state secretary “shall take and subscribe in the presence of the Mentri Besar the following oath of secrecy.” In this instance, the mentri besar’s central role cannot be ignored.

It has been announced that the newly-appointed Selangor State Secretary, Datuk Mohd Khusrin Munawi, will be taking his oath of office in the presence of His Highness, the Sultan of Selangor. This seems odd according to constitutional expert, Prof A. Aziz Bari, who contends that this is a “new practice” and that he was not aware that such a practice existed.

There is some talk that the MB may convene the state assembly to debate this issue. It may be pertinent to pursue this line of action in order for the state government to exert its authority which is derived from the people.

It would be wrong to set aside what is stated in the written constitution. We must submit ourselves to the rule of law at all times. This is how a democracy functions. Anything short of this will be anarchy.

It is imperative that the state secretary and the MB must enjoy a cordial working relationship for the benefit of the state. It is known that Mohd Khusrin and the Selangor state government have been at odds over certain issues. To appoint him as the state secretary in spite of these serious differences would suggest that some foul plot is afoot. Is the Chief Secretary to the Government trying to undermine the Selangor state government?
