Menuju garisan penamat...

Garisan penamat 5hb Mei...Ada sesuatu yang membuatkan pemimpin dan pendokong BN gelabah kali ini. Walaupun media digunakan sebagai gerak gempur minda rakyat untuk mengundi BN kali ini, ramai dari kalangan "berada" telah membuat persiapan awal untuk "berhijrah" sementara ke negara-negara jiran.

Didalam rangka perjalanan minggu lepas, seorang pengusaha/pelabur negara jiran menceritakan betapa beliau mendapat begitu banyak panggilan dartai "rakan-rakan" perniagaan Malaysia yang akan membuat "kujungan" ke negara beliau mulai 5 hingga 7 hb Mei 2013. Adakah ini petanda awal tentang kemungkinan BN akan "tempang" selepas PRU 13?

Anihnya, mereka-mereka ini memilih untuk tidak berehat di Singapaura atas alasan "exchange rate" yang tinggi, tetapi memilih negara ASEAN ini kerana kos sara hidup yang lebih rendah.

Apa-apapun sebabnya, itu tidak penting. Yang penting ialah pecutan terakhir beberapa hari ini untuk menuju ke garisan penamat. KTM komuter kini makin ligat memutarkan IM4U berserta dengan akujanji BN seandainya menawan kembali Selangor. Jelas sekali Pengurus Besar KTMB begitu bertungkulumus memainkan perang saraf untuk memenangkan hati rakyat mengundi BN.

TV? Itu sudah semestinya. Saban hari tidak ada satu berita positif tentang pihak PR. Yang ada hanyalah pamparan "derita" rakyat dibawah PR. Anehnya, dalam masa yang sama, ceramah BN masih gagal untuk mengumpul pendengar. Yang ada hanyalah pendengar "professional" yang dibayar untuk meramaikan majlis.

Angin perubahan begitu ketara sekali dimana rata-rata rakyat inginkan suasana baru. Bak kata teman ASEAN saya, BN sudah terlalu lama dimeja solek dan jika dilihat dicermin, sudah nampak kekotoran-kekotoran yang perlu dibersihkan. Dan untuk membersihkannya, BN perlu di "masukkan" kedalam baldi, direndam dan dicuci. Untuk itu, BN perlu dikalahkan dan mempelajari cara untuk menjadi pembangkan setelah sekian lama mengaut kekayaan negara dan dalam masa yang sama berpura-pura membantu rakyat.

Hari minggu yang lalu, seorang perayu undi BN telah meminta saya mengundi BN atas alasan kesinambungan BR1M. Saya menjawab, mungkin kalau PR menanag BR1M akan ditambah berganda. Beliau mengatakan kalau BN kalah, rakyat akan menderita dan saya berkata "Hanya rakyat berdarahkan BN yang menderita kerana hilang punca pencarian mudah".

Masih ingat pada arwah Datuk Z, Klang? Semasa beliau menjadi ADUN, seorang rakan yang menjadi kontraktor angkut sampah menjadi kayaraya. Malangnya apabila BN tumbang di Selangor, rakan tersebut turut jatuh sehingga tinggal sehelai sepinggang. Kenapa? Beliau yang terlalu mabuk dengan "rezeki" tirisan Datuk Z tidak berjimat cermat dan akhirnya menderita akibat kealpaan beliau. Moral of the story? BN perlu kalah untuk membina semula sifat jatidiri kontraktor yang menjadi parasit kepada BN selama ini.

Seorang kontraktor kelas A memberitahu bagaimana diera BN Selangor, satu projek yang bernilai RM 15J telah dimanipulasikan menjadi RM 30J. Andainya RM 15J sudah cukup untuk menyempurnakan kerja tersebut, dimanakan balance RM 15J lagi, kalau tidak disaku-saku kroni2 BN yang berpejabat dibangunan UMNO dan sebagainya? Adakah ini berlaku semasa PR? Beliau dengan berterusterang berkata perkara ini tidak berlaku semasa PR menerajui BN.

Garisan penamat hanya tinggal kira-kira 6 hari lagi. Najib nampaknya makin berpeluh dan sudah mula merapu. Mahathir sudah mula turun padang tetapi Abdullah Badawi tidak pula kedengaran. Adakah "elegant silence" Abdullah menceritakan semua? Bahwa BN sudah nazak dan mula membuat percaturan penipuan untuk menang dan tidak lagi bersandarkan pada helah dan tipudaya politik?

Saya merasakan hari Jumaat ini akan menjadi hari penentuan dimana BN akan cuba memberi pukulan maut untuk mengekalkan kuasa. Dalam masa yang sama PR juga mungkin sudah membuat percaturan sendiri untuk membalan pukulan maut BN.

Walau apapun, sudah nampak keretakan BN dan ini akan memberi peluang untuk PR memerintah Malaysia. Inilah masa yang terbaik untuk PR dan andainya PR gagal, maka peluang yang sama mungkin berulang 30 tahun lagi

Of fighting against poltical machineries...

I don't know Kamilia Ibrahim but I stand by her side in fighting party injustice. I am not a soothsayer but I pray Kamilia will jolt UMNO to reality (with a little help from PR)...Don't worry. I have not abandoned my belief of Barisan Rakyat. See... I am coining both political entities together just like those days in Petaling Jaya. I carved out Barisan from BN and Rakyat from PR... to openly declare that my foremost allegiance is for the rakyat and not an individual nor a rotten party.

However, April 20th aftershock is still there. I mean talking about those indies who, rightly or wrongly, believe they can put up a good fight against the well-oiled machineries of either BN or PR. How these indies bathed in their limelight and all of a sudden, here comes the quiet eeriness... and these indies are basically left alone to fight an uphill battle to even introduce themselves to potential voters.

Forget about Ibrahim Ali. He might be an indie by name but he has the full support of BN machinery in Pasir Mas. Don't believe? Just look at how slow UMNO disciplinary committee when dealing with the likes of Che Johan Che Pa, just because MM is behind Ibrahim.

As I am writing this, I believed the Disciplinary committee is mulling on the actions to be taken against Che Johan and his seconders. I say, it will be no more than a slight slap on the wrist and Najb will announce the need for BN to support Ibrahim Ali as he is PERKASA chief.

I am not writing about Shariff Omar either as he is lost in the battle for Penang. Afterall, he has his days before so let him be, barking at the wrong tree at the wrong time.

I am referring to Kamilia Ibrahim, the lone ranger who stand up against the injustice within BN. She has given her side of the story and see how UMNO wanita members shunning her now and treated her worse than a leper! Where are all the wanita UMNO who supported her in her days as 2nd in command? All running like headless chicken and parroting what Shahrizat is saying.

I say to these wanitas - no guts. Why don't you gals stand up to the injustice and demand your rights as UMNO movers and shakers?

Kepimpinan UMNO telah memancung pucuk kepimpinan Wanita UMNO/BN dan wanita masih berdiam diri? Dimana semangat juang mu, wahai wanita UMNO? Apakah kamu sudah menjadi pacal-pacal yang hina, bagaikan hidup dibawah ehsan Najib? Apakah wanita UMNO sanggup menggadai maruah kerana berketuakan lallang?

Wanita UMNO yang terkenal dengan sifat perjuangannya, yang sanggup bergolok bergadai demi parti satu ketika dulu bertukar menjadi tikus? Alangkah sedihnya Wanita UMNO bila diperlakukan demikian.

Dimanakah sifat setiakawan Wanita UMNO? Teman perjuanganmu rebah dan di injak2 oleh kepimpinan yang tidak berjiwa rakyat, kamu masih berdiam diri? Kamu sanggup melihat ketua kamu dianaiyai, ditikam dari belakang dan kamu hanya diam seribu bahasa?

Ayuh, Wanita UMNO Kuala Kangsar, ayuh Wanita UMNO Perak, ayuh Wanita UMNO semenanjung, ayuh Wanita UMNO Sabah. Bangkitlah, perjuangkan hak kamu, berdirilah disisi Kamilia membina barisan mencabar pucuk kepimpinan dayus, yang berselindung dibalik kenyataan palsu.

Kerahkan tenaga dan kudratmu, berkerja bersama Kamilia,hantarkan satu mesej kepada Najib - TANPA WANITA UMNO, BN PASTI TUMBANG!!! Pengkhianatan terhadap perjuangan suci Wanita UMNO tidak boleh didiamkan. Bangkitlah!!

Apakah kamu bersedia melihat Kamilia bersama anak2nya saja menyusur jalan mencari undi? Itu yang kamu tahu? Itu yang kamu mahu? Kalau itulah kehendak Wanita UMNO, maka bersedialah untuk diimjak2 lagi.

Tahukah kamu, wahai Wanita UMNO bahwa UNO paling kurang mengenegahkan kepimpinan Wamita dalam PRU 13? Haya kurang dari 10 % calun adalah wanita berbanding dengan purata kepimpinan wanita di negara lain 30 % adalah pembuat dasar! Tidak malukah kamu, wahai Wanita UMNO sehingga dibiarkah sebegitu. Dimana maruahmu, Wanita UMNO? Apakah maruahmu hanya laungan bisu di PWTC? Apakah perjuanganmu hanya laku didalam bilik hawa dingin PWTC? Apakah diri mu hanya sebagai tontonan rakus kepimpinan UMNO?

I have doe my part. How I wish Wanita UMNO will stand up for tehir rights as how PR stands to voice teh peoples' aspirations. Together, PR and Wanita UMNO can send a message to Najib that enough is enough. No more playing around.

1 week left to polling day and I hope Kamilia stands up against the oppresor. Unfortunately, I am not voting in KK or not my vote will be for Kamilia, the lady Braveheart of Malaysia. Stand up and be counted, wanita UMNO or forever stay in the dumps in dungeons like slaves of the past.

Of assessment...and judgement

Just because Muhyiddein is former DPM, that does not means he is a good grader.This time around before I go any further, have you read SWK's posting on "Janji Capati"? I strongly suggest you read it before Pirates goes missing ...again.

When campaigning, sometimes these politicians failed to realise that when they accussed the other side of one thing, they are guilty of 2 things. Look at Muhyiddein, as an example. Being an Education Minister, Muhyiddein marked "E-" to Pakatan state government. Now before I commented on his assessment, do you guys think Muhyiddein is an "A+" minister? I doubt it and I, for one, will not grade Muhyiddein as an "A+" minister although some pirates out there may judge him so.

If Muhyiddein gives an "E-" to Pakatan state government, then how does he rates Sarawak, Sabah, Perak? Sarawak failed miserably with its authoutorian Ketua Menteri dictating everything including approving vast areas of land to his family members. Just look at his son's (Bekir Taib) divorce claim! Almost RM 400M and still counting. Is Muhyiddein blind to simple arithmetic? How can a Ketua Menteri's son ammassed properties in excess of RM 400M when his father is a serving Ketua Menteri? Unless, there is something behind it. Worse still, Najib is too scared to take any action on Taib Mahmud and Muhyiddein as Najib's deputy is equally quiet on the matter. Is this how a "teacher" acts and rating others?


Sabah? Almost the same story like Sarawak with millions siphoned out from the state and country. Musa Aman's money trail leads right to Swiss bank and worth Billions. What did Muhyiddein do? Nothing? What is his rating of Sabah? Being a BN-led state, Muhyiddein will surely give high marks to Sabah. Or is Muhyiddein rewarding those who swindles money out of Malaysians? Is that his criteria for good points and excellent markings?


Perak? Zambry categorically mentioned that his political opponents as immoral for describing Zambry as "Haram jadah" which roughly translate into "son of bitch". Wait a minute. What about Najib calling FELDA settles who refuse to sign the FGVH as "haram jadah". Is Zambry saying that Najib is "multiple" times more immoral than his political opponenets? I mean Najib named the settlers "haram jadah" and that is more than 1 settler whilst Zambry political opponents say the same word to Zamry only. Does that mean Najib is muliple more times more immoral? What say Muhyiddein this time?

Remember the time when Muhyiddein say he is Malay first? Muhyiddein even say that "Melayu itu UMNO, UMNO itu Melayu". If that is the case, then what about Mahathir? Is he Melayu? Is he UMNO? Teacher Muhyiddein should answer this question.

The point is simple, BN is making errors by errors because they failed to give correct assessment to their political opponents this time around. Before, BN just bully and bulldoze their way through but now they are clueless on what to be done. Just observe how BN's big brother acts in dealing with 61 of their members who goes indies in GE13. UMNO expelled them. Yet, at the same time, UMNO is clueless on how to deal with Che Johan Che Pa, UMNO's candidate for Pasir Mas. 

Johan Che Pa did not submit his papers and until now UMNO has not taken any action. Why? Because UMNO needs Ibrahim Ali who is PERKASA president and non-UMNO indie contesting in Pasir Mas. Now, what has Muhyiddein got to say about this? Masybe Muhyiddein should give a big "F" to UMNO disciplinary board for not taking any action against Johan Che Pa.

Now, let's go a step further. What will happen if one or some of these expelled-UMNO indies won their seats and it happen that these seats are equally important to form BN government after GE 13? Will UMNO still expelled them or will UMNO reverse its own decision? UMNO is too fast in making judgement. More so, this is GE13, where anything can happen and maybe we will wake up to anew government comes 6th May 2013.

My 65 year old ex-boss will be taking his flight out of Malaysia before 5th May and he will stay out until GE13 dust settles. His reasoning? I am too old to care who wins the election. Is that correct? As Malaysians who feels strongly for our future, this is the best opportunity to change for the better. I hope others won't leave Malaysia before they cast their votes.


I have rescheduled my work plan so that I can cast my vote, have you done so too?

Of decapitated BN...

Yes, I was at one of the nomination centre involving BN, PR, Hindraf as well as independent. It was a tame affair compared to Shah Alam, Kuala Kangsar and Pasir Mas.
2013 scores many first for BN. Amongst them is the recently concluded GE 13 nomination day. Forget about the rest, these 3 parliamentary seats may determine our future, post GE 13.

Who would have thought that Kamilia Ibrahim, 2nd in chief to Wanita BN, will do the unthinkable. Yes, she offers herself as indie candidate for the Parliamentary seat of Kuala Kangsar, vacated by her mentor Rafidah Aziz.


I openly salute Kamilia's stand and principle eventhough she comes from UMNO. Others may say that she is a "frustrated" leader who failed, Shahrizat may say a few words scorning her but Kamilia make her stand known. And her stand goes up to 1MPM6 Najib. By the way, who is Shahrizat to "tell" Kamilia what to do when she herself failed to make the correct decision when implicated with the infamous cowgate.

Kamilia Ibrahim is the epitome of Wanita UMNO who are known to work tireless for their party. In fact, Wanita UMNO is the one who will deliver all those crucial votes to shoo in their candidates, time and time again in elections after elections since 1957. 

When Najib failed to give them due recognition, Kamilia raised above the rest to voiced out her opinion and make her stand. She knows that her chances are slim but more important she gets her message across - Don't mess with Wanita UMNO!

Najib and Zambry Kadir can come out with thousands of lame excuses including Kamilia "rejecting" the state candidature. The point is, is that all 1MpM6 Najib sees in Wanita UMNO? Only good enough for state leadership? You are not talking about any plain Jane here, you are talking about Wanita BN 2nd in command. Actually she is Wanita BN leader since Shahrizat should be automatically disqualified for her cowgate scandal. Is this what BN views their Wanita wing? If that is what it is, then Najib does not follow his own "akujanji" of "Rakyat diutamakan". Instead, Najib is clanging to "Bini diutamakan"

Shah Alam? I shuddered at the thoughts of BN pitting Zulkifle Noordin there. A known PERKASA 2nd in command, his views often invites criticism from non-Malays. His lecture belittling other religions' gods and later uttering degratory words against non-Malays put him on the other side, something that Malaysians do not believe in. Alas! BN believes in him and put him to stand in Shah Alam.

Maybe BN is banking on the Malay votes of Shah Alam but at the same time, BN is juggling Zulkifli Noording for the rest of the country. Where is S/o Samy Vellu who threatened to campaign for non-BN politicians if this happen? Where is the Indian champion party of MIC? Answer - no balls. They are mices looking for shelters to hide. If this is the way the Indian champions work, it is better off for the Indians to give their confidence to PR. At least, they are brave enough to boot off  Zul Noordin, not once but twice!. The first when PAS booted him off the party and now PKR booted him as well.

From Shah Alam, let's visit the best of them all, Pasir Mas. When you think it is safe to come out when BN did not name Ibrahim Ali as their candidate for Pasir Mas, BN engineered another incident, this time when their candidate Che Johan Che Pa did not submit his papers. Instead he allowed a straight one to one fight between Ibrahim Ali, Indie against PAS.

How this happen? Is Najib sucking up to MM? Or is UMNO Kelantan swindled by UMNO HQ? Is thios another point made by Najib, proving that he is a "no balls" chief who succumbed to MM wishes and fancies?


I will not dwell more on this but sufficient enough to say that the three events will change the political landscape. It will not be surprising if Wanita UMNO may "play slow" in their campaign as a tacit support to Kamilia Ibrahim. At the same time, non-UMNO BN components can also "go slow" in their vote canvassing efforts.

1 way or another, I have practically make up my mind. Not for me but for Malaysia's future generations. Have you make your minds up?

Yang dikendung dan yang dikejar... bayangan kehancuran BN

Najib dalam dilema, begitu juga pengundi apabila Najib mula membuat kesilapan...Sesuatu tidak kena dengan BN. Dalam keresahan mempersiapkan diri untuk mempertahankan mahkota Putrajaya, BN telah mula mengambil langkah-langkah sumbang yang tidak sepatutnya tidak ujud dalam senitari silat BN. Apakah umur BN terlalu semput? Atau nakhoda BN sudah merasa firasat sedih?

Selang sehari setelah BN menguar-uarkan senarai "winnable candidates", BN Penang telah menunjukkan kegelisahan apabila beberapa tokoh tempatan dengan terbuka mempersoalkan kebijaksanaa dan kriteria yang digunakan Najib dalam menentukan calun. Silap haribulan, akan berlaku beberapa siri pertembungan pelbagai penjuru akibat keresahan tersebut.

Bagaimana dengan Kedah? Tidak kurang hebatnya. Begitu juga dengan Perlis dimana sudah ada riak-riak kekalahan akan bertamu di BN.




Kejayaan Najib tidak mencalunkan Timbalan Ketua Wanita UMNO, Kamilia Ibrahim juga mula menampak kesan apabila Kamilia dengan terbuka mempersoalkan kebijaksanaan Najib dalam mengenepikan kaum hawa dari aris politik perdana. Barang diingat, dari zaman 57 lagi, kaum wanita UMNOlah merupakan gerak kerja paling effisyen dalam UMNO dalam menentukan kemenangan calun-calun BN! Malah, mereka juga sanggup bergolok bergadai untuk mempertahankan UMNO yang mereka sayangi. Inilah habuan dari Najib. 


Andainya Shahrizat tidaka diangkat menjadi calun, itu boleh diterima oleh barisan pucuk pimpinan Wanita UMNO tetapi apabila Timbalan Ketua juga tidak diberi tempat, ini menunjukkan kedangkalan Najib dalam berpolitik.


Bukan itu saja, Najib juga seakan-akan melangsaikan hutang dengan Chua Soi Lek apabila Najib tidak menamakan Ong Tee Keat sebagai calun BN di Pandan. Sebagaimana Shahrizat, pengundi masih dapat menerima keputusan Chua Soi Lek tidak dicalunkan atas perangai peribadi balieu tetapi dengan mengorbankan "almost sure-winner" Ong Tee Keat dari Pandan, Najib telah membuka ruang lebih besar untuk BN menjadi pembangkang selepas 5hb Mei ini.

Kemeriahan Najib untuk mengenegahkan Zul Noordin di Shah Alam adalah satu lagi rentak sumbang Najib dalam memilih yang terbaik untuk rakyat. Dalam masa yang sama, Najib sanggup ke Brickfield untuk meminang Hindraf, satu organisasi bukan BN.

Apa mesej Najib? Senang, Najib sudah tidak memperdulikan apa yang dikendungnya. Najib sudah alpha dengan mereka yang mendokong beliau sepanjang beliau berpolitik. Sebaliknya, Najib lebih cenderung untuk bertunang dengan Zul Noordin yang menghina agama lain serta menggunakan perkataan tidak sepatutnya terhadap kaum India dan pada masa yang sama Najib mula melamar Hindraf atas congakkan bahwa organisasi ini bo;leh membantu beliau di "marginal seats".


Masaalahnya, apakah Najib berpendapat bahwa rajuk Wanita UMNO tidak perlu dipujuk? Atau Najib tidak kisah andainya Pulau Pinang di tadbir oleh PR sepenggal lagi? Najib tidak ambil pot andainya Perlis beralih rasa pada PR kerana Perlis hanya menawarkan 3 kerusi parlimen?

Najib lupa bahwa gelombang keresahan di Pahang dan Terengganu mungkin akan menegelamkan BN. Begitu juga dengan Negeri Sembilan yang kini diasak oleh PR. Mempergunakan sentimen ras di Pasir Gudang tidak akan berkesan kerana BN juga menggunakan Zul Noordin untuk berdepan Khalid Samad. 

Apapun, Najib sudah hilang pertimbangan kerana tidak pandai menilai yang mana intan yang mana kaca... Pusingan pertama untuk PR.

Hingga bertemu lagi...selamat malam M'sia...dimana jua berada... Read More

Of special offers..to the pits

Mirror, mirror on the wall... who can make BN falls?

Now that BN candidate list is out, most unanswered questions are answered in bits and pieces.

This is it. Do or Die for BN and yet they opts for the latter. Poor BN, pauper in the end.

Of all the talents available in Selangor, BN aka UMNO choose Zul Noordin to stand in Shah Alam. You guys know who is Zul Noordin? He is PERKASA VP. Whilst Perkasa used to threatens Gerakan's Teng in Penang, Zul Noordin needed to eat humble pie when he had to apologise to the Indian community when he hurt the feelings of Indian community.

Well, this reflects UMNO's poor judgement in filtering "winnable" candidates. More, is there no one in UMNO qualified to face off Khalid Samad in Shah Alam, so much so that UMNO has to rope in Zul Noording who was an independent MP of Bandar Kulim Baru to be their candidate? If that is so, why not UMNO "loaned" out Shah Alam seat to MCA/Gerakan/MIC/PPP as what they did when they wrested Wangsa Maju and Gelang Patah from MCA?

Up north, BN has its own share of problems when Perlis MB is not in the list. Instead, Shahidan Kassim will be contesting Arau Parliament seat. Little birds are telling me that "Perlis dah gayat". Maybe 1MPM6 Najib is relying on 2 year old news when Shahidan claimed that he is a winnable candidate, back in December 2011. 

When Perlis ruler had put down his feet to reject Shahidan, BN (UMNO) feels it appropriate to field Shahidan. So, who is biadab? UMNO (BN) or PR? Can UMNO still prides itself as being the rulers' champions when they themselves fielded someone who has been on Perlis ruler reject list? Or is UMNO that pauper to the extent that they have to dig into their reject list trash to come out with a supposedly "winnable candidate".

Closer, UMNO again fielded Isa Samad and Ali Rustam in parliamentary seats. Isa and Ali Rustam? Aren't these two "gentlemen" guilty of misconduct before? Isa was found guilty of money politics and suspended for 3 years back in 2004. Even Mahathir once said in 2009 that putting up Isa as candidate will picture that UMNO is not serious in fighting corruption. Najib did just that and as UMNO President, 1MPM6 Najib is declaring to the world that he is not serious in fighting corruption. So what does all Najib's 1slogans stands for if he accepts that Isa is BN candidate? Or, is Port Dickson ghost still haunting Najib to this day? And the only "successful pawang" to ward off Port Dickson ghost is Isa Samad?

Ali Rustam? Is he no better than Isa Samad? Ali was found guilty by UMNO disciplinary board and barred from contesting UMNO's Deputy chief in 2009.  As they say it, it might be a different scenario now if and only if Ali was allowed to contest the deputy post. He might send Muhyiddin to early retirement. Yet, Ali Rustam is chosen from the rest to stand in Parlaimentary seat and may be awarded a ministerial post if he wins. Is this the type of leaders that Malaysia wants to lead the nation after 5th May 2013?

Funny still for BN list, whilst Zul Noordin is put on a pedestal to take the fight in Shah Alam, Kayveas, PPP President and one of BN component parties is only named as Pasir Berdemar state seat candidate. What a let down for Kayveas when a non-BN member by the name of Zul Noordin is fared better is the eyes of 1MPM6 Najib compared to Kayveas. Beggars can't be choosers and I believe Kayveas is all too happy to eat the crumbs off 1MPM6 Najib's hands.

What about other BN friendly parties like IPF, KIMMA and the rest? No leftovers for them? Whislt I refrain from further speculation, what about others who are trying hard to join BN in the pits? Names like Ibrahim Ali, Reduan Tee, Gobalakrishnan are missing. Has 1MPM6 Najib tired of playing with them? Or is it Najib pupper masters oversight?

The names above are all the potential names that will accelerate BN's fall to the pits. Yes, that is my thoughts. BN has all the machineries and all the make-overs to powder them to form. Yet, behind the makeover, these are the people who Malaysia should send to retirement homes on 5th May 2013.

I have done my part, have you done yours?

Of battle ready... and early casualties

Are you ready to do battle? Are you ready to change? Are you ready to vote? I am...Yes, I was wrong when making choices. PRU 13 will be another choice, either Change or forever playing submissive to those that we voted in.

At first glace, everything seems the same. Utusan and TV3 remains the same, providing all the one-sided news to the extent that it is better to ignore them. Of late, the same sickness is creeping into Astro. Unfortunately. Astro forgets that the consumers pay for their service and as such I am deliberating whether to terminate the service or follow their antics in GE 13 runup. Fortunately, Astro has many channels and I opted to go channel hunting over listening (or viewing) the countless 1ads.

BN, in anticipating fiercer GE 13 competition, chose to "retire" almost 30% of their MPs' including Rais Yatim, Ng Yen Yen, Mohamed Nor Yaakob. Not only that, BN is pushing Ghani Othman to face Lim Kit Siang in Gelang Patah reminiscent of Lim Kit Siang-Lim Chong Eu battle royale which ultimately leads to Chong Eu's retirement from politics.

This time around, BN is pitting Ghani against Lim Kit Siang, banking on popular beliefs that the Malays will not desert Ghani whilst MCA deliver Chinese votes to Ghani to put Lim Kit Siang and PR at bay. Will it works? Realistically, it might not work as Ghani has stepped on too many feet including the orang asal in his quest to build Iskandar. If 85% of the Chinese voters are die-hard PR voters, Lim Kit Siang may send Ghani into "retirement" to the delight of his detractors. Even if Lim Kit Siang lose, so what? Losing is norm to this DAP stalwart but this time around, it will be another state ketua menteri @ Menteri Besar waiting to be scalped.

How desperate in BN aka UMNO? I will say pretty pretty scared of losing power. How scared? 1MPM6 is willing to bent backwards to accomodate Ong Tee Keat in Pandan, despite MCA's recommendations not to include Ong Tee Keat in the candidate list. As a result, it is a major slap in the face for Chua Soil Lek, leading him to indicate that he is not a candidate in GE 13. Shame, shame on you Chua Soil Lek for surrendering before even entering the circle!

1MPM6 Najib is even accomodating to Mahathir's wishlist and naming Ibrahim Ali as the BN-sponsored candidate for Pasir Mas. 1MPM6 Najib maybe indebted to Mahathir but naming Ibrahim Ali as BN sponsored candidate in Pasir Mas, Kelantan is like putting a death nail to BN's coffin as far as taking over Kelantan. Reason? Kelantanese has still not forgiven Ibrahim Ali for abandoning Tok Guru Nik Aziz when he chose to switch camp and becoming BN-friendly after all the help and support he received from PAS especially after Tok Guru's intervention.

1MPM6 Najib may not admit it but he is really facing defeat. The only way for him to overcome the sure-thing defeat is by adapting Mahathir's ruthless tactics and to use all the tricks in Mahathir's bag to secure BN wins. Najib is not known as a fighter and he is not known as a survivor either. The way Najib is making moves are actually mirrors that of Mahathir. In short, Najib is still the lallang swaying to Mahathir's music.

Tomorrow will be better when the full BN list is known. So far, Shahrizat and few UMNO second echelon leaders fails to make the cut. I am more interested to know the fate of 3 kataks from Perak, Zul Noordin, Gobala and Zahrain. If BN accomodates to these kataks, then it can be confirmed that BN is really, really desperate.

Another development should be from Sabah, Sarawak. Let's see who is in BN's 30% drop list. Will they be really dropped or will they be actually switched from parliament to state seats and vice versa. Afterall, BN is known for making up numbers when in actuality, it is still the same.

Despite BN's troubles, PR is not raking up advantages too. PSM's foolhardiness of planning to go for 11 seats is akin to "marahkan nyamuk, kelambu dibakar". PSM should be street wise and understand as well as accept that their common enemy is BN, not PR allies. This is the time for sacrifice and if PSM is not willing to sacrife for the rakyat's good, then PSM better think of a better acronym to "Parti Sosialis Malaysia".

PKR's lukewarm solution to Chegu bard is wanting. How can PKR's top brass place Bard in Penang when his base in Negeri Sembilan? I have said before that PKR NS spells trouble, I will repeat - PKR NS is trouble. And Anwar Ibrahim is blinded to believe everything said and done by his NS sidekick.

A friend from Sg Petani, an UMNO member confessed that it is better for the country to be managed by PR as BN is too rotten for fast relief. Let PR manage the next 2 terms and if they falls into BN sickness of corruption, cronyism, then Malaysia will vote them out as how we are voting BN out in GE 13.

The question is - Are you with me?

Of looking around...

Yes, I was wrong in predicting the date when Najib opted to dissolve the parliament. No excuse there although I sensed Najib being forced to a corner where he has no place to hide or run anymore.

The dissolution proved another vital point. BN can and will do it if forced to that corner. In broad daylight, 1MPM6 Najib fumbled on the date of dissolving parliament and none of his machais including his chief Machai Muhyiddin Yassin realised the fumble. More importantly, the fumble "went" missing during TV3's Buletin Perdana. What was proven is that BN can and will do it if needed. If they can "conveniently" erased Najib's mistake, then likewise, they can "surfaced" BN opponents's frolicking and paint dirty pictures of Anwar, Nik Aziz, Hadi, Lim Kit Siang or others.

Someone may ask, was Najib trembling in fear? The answer is YES. Najib's trembling of losing power is detected as high as 25th floor of 1 corporate building. As word has it, there are now actions taken to shore up 1MPM6 Najib's falling pieces.

You see the picture above? That was taken last weekend in one of the east coast state. Nomination may be days away and election day is yet to be determined, but party workers have been busy putting up banners and posters to voice out their support. Green or Blue, it is a sight to behold.

This time around, who shall it be? I received word this morning that serious efforts are taken to project a better BN image. Papagomo style is out dated and huge commissions are being offered to manage BN's image. The price is not cheap. How expensive? For me to know and for you to find out.

Whilst BN is facing the imagebuilding problem, PR has its share of problem. Like the Muslims of Peperangan Uhud, these guys smells blood and everyone is scrambling to a vintage point, including the President of one PR party. Problem? IN the process, these leaders trampled their own dedicated party workers and this might result in an implosion where the real losers will only be PR.

What is it? This writer will not divulge more, enough to warn PR leaders to be wary on who they are working with. Remember the frogs of Perak? The same may happen in Negeri Sembilan... and other parliamentary seats if PR leaders do not nip the problem at the bud.

That said and with EC announcing the nomination day and election day on 10th April 2013, this writer needs to reschedule all the overseas trip. More will be coming in the coming days... Read More
