Of PAS completing circle...

Time and changes. Before 9th May 2018, who would have thought that MCA will stand in a by-election using its own logo. On top of that, who would have guessed UMNO will go all out supporting PAS in Selangor?

Thanks to Najib, these become reality when BN lost Putrajaya resulting the almost disintegration of BN from the mighty 14 to the brave(?) 3...

PAS? PAS being PAS, especially under the leadership of Hadi is fast becoming a "has-been"...

In Seri Setia, Lokman Adam revealed his dream.
Lokman's dream is primarily to create further confusion to the already confused PAS members and supporters.

BN has rightly say that they will give way to PAS in Seri setia by-election and "in the spirit of opposition", BN will give their undying support to PAS. Hence Lokman's Red & green coloured shirt. What Lokman fails to understand is how do PAS tell its fervent supporters in the states of Kelantan and Terengganu?

Whilst UMNO is clearly hyping their support to PAS, the feelings is not reciprocated by PAS top members. Why? Simply for the simple reason how and what will PAS sells to its supporters in rural Terengganu and Kelantan. Can PAS declare they are lovey dovey with UMNO in Selangor and yet they are at UMNO's jugular in Terengganu and Kelantan? How do you explain the love-hate relation to the simple-minded rural Malays?

If Lokman decides to go on national tour with his PAS-UMNO shirt, it will be another disaster to PAS. What else can they explain to their supporters. PAS strength lies in the rural areas where PAS claims that they are fighting for Islam. In urban areas, PAS doctrine fails because PAS leaders has been caught again and again not talking straight. They are misleading the people and hoodwinking them with religious issue.

When it comes to repelling GST, PAS MPs' are lost at words. One of its MP equate the word "sesat" (lost) to neraka (hell). You can be lost in finding your way but that does not mean you will be in hell. This type of PAS MP argument actually reveal their level of thinking and mentality.

Come September, all eyes will see PH's performance in Seri Setia and Balakong. Can they win with 66.6% and 77.5% respectively? Or will PAS give a good fight with UMNO as their cornerman?

Me? PAS is completing the circle, making a fool out of their own selves...

Of Ras' "better under-use than temporary share-use"...

What have we turn into? Of late, we are becoming selfish, self-centered, uncaring and "I want it all" attitude... and all boils down to toilet use tsk tsk tsk

First and foremost, I abhor discussing about LGBT as there will always be a conflict within. Whilst there might be a need to respect their off-lifestyle, it should be within the limits of one's belief and religious conviction.

LGBT is a choice and not designed as such. Many chose this off-lifestyle based on their experience. Lesbian, gay and bisexual are habitual in nature and because of that, should the majority of society succumb to their demands and recognise their "special" desire?

Transgender is a more complicated issue which needs further knowledge. On surface, transgender are those who were caught in between, spiritually and physically. Their case calls for specialist to determine their actual gender and these specialist needs to come from various fields including physical science and spiritual beliefs.

That said, those in the LGB group should stay to their physical form ie a lesbian can enter and use a female toilet regardless whether they are wearing pants or not. Hey... there are countless women out there in pants, so I see it as a non-issue.

The same goes to gay. They can be physically masculine but prefer same sex activities. These group can freely use the gents cubicles as they will not create uneasiness amongst their own men flock.

Bisexual? What's the issue? They are basically men and women who likes to expand their sexual experience to include both sides of the world. Outwardly, they are physically what they are ie man as man and woman as woman. In this case, they can use their own gender toilets for their needs.

Transgender?? Ahh... these are the special case. But... how many are they really in Malaysia? I bet not many are transgender. What you see are pseudo-transgender, those who opts for cross-dressing because of their experience and preference, not contributed by their "entrapment".

When I say they are not many, it means their community is a small one.

Now, let's visit the OKU. Ras Adiba Razi shouted "No, handicap toilets are for OKU". How many times did you see handicap toilets occupy in your numerous trips to the rest rooms? My experience, I can count with my fingers...

What does that leave us? It means our handicap toilets are under-use. That's why some handicap toilets is jointly use as store rooms. It is just under use.

Now, if handicap toilets are already proven under use, why hue and cry if Fuziah suggested the handicapped toilets to be temporarily joint use with the transgender? That way, the toilet management will see the need for handicapped toilets to be properly maintained and use.



There is no need to purposely build another "LGBT" toilets for them. Case close. For long term measure, the government, NGOs, religious councils and special groups should sit down and come up with a better solution to LGBT issue.

To Ras, don't be selfish as if the handicap toilets are 100% full all the time with long queues... it never was that much in use, anyway. To the LGB of LGBT group, use the toilets as what your physical body calls you... for the T in LGBT, you are welcome to temporarily use the handicap toilets to answer the call of nature, not for some off-style activities.

Me? I will stick to my non-LGBT stand... simple, isnt it?

Of Selangor's 3 by-elections... 1 down, 2 to go...

Purposely let Sg Kandis by-elections over before I penned down this piece. My thoughts on Selangor's 3 by-elections... here we go...


N27, N32 and N49... Three by elections in Selangor.

Let's go N49 (Sg Kandis) first
PRU 14 PRK
PH 55.6% 60%
BN 26.7% 40%
PAS 17.5% sit out
PRM 0.2% sit out

% of voters coming to vote : 49 % (lowest in history?)

My read on Sg Kandis are :-

1. Despite PAS leaders' open support for BN's Lokman, PAS supporters did not come out in full force to vote BN in;
2. In PRU 14, one of the factors for PH wins is the high turnup (more than 80 %). In PRK, even with a low turnout of 49 % PH still wins and increase its share of votes to 60 %, up by 5%;
3. Najib should not be campaigning for BN in PRK. His reputation is tainted and it is better for him to stay away;
4. BN's candidate (Lokman) is using race, religion as his core slogan and this backfires in semi-urban Sg Kandis;
5. BN's choice of UMNO supreme council member and non-local is rejected by voters. It send a message to UMNO - Game over;
6. There is no "Santa Claus in Sg Kandis promising million dollar projects, a far cry from BN's tactics in previous by-election. A brilliant strategy by PH;
7. Without the grease, BN machinery limps towards the finishing line. "Money is King" is no more;
8. The voters did not see any urgency to come out and vote as Selangor state legislative as superior majority to PH. Even with that, the voters did not vote BN as sign of rejection to the party;

Next stop is N27 (Balakong)

PRU14
PH 77.5%
PAS 11.6%
BN 10.9%

EC has set 18th Aug as nomination date and 8th Sept as polling day for Balakong by-election. Despite talks of Yunna Tan as DAP candidate, Lim GE stated that DAP has not make any decision until they ha their meeting.

MCA's desire to use its own logo during the by-election took a back seat when UMNO said the decision will be made collectively by BN.

Where is the "opposition" co-operation now? If PAS can make way for BN in Sg Kandis, why cant BN give way to PAS in Balakong. PAS fared better than BN in Balakong and this time, let it be a straight fight between PAS and PH in Balakong. Or is PAS shying away from Balakong? Where is the fiery rhetoric of PAS putting up its candidates where there are Muslims in the area?

Final stop, N32 (seri Setia)

PRU 14
PH 66.6%
BN 22.5%
PAS 10.4%

UMNO indicated that they will allow PAS to go mano to mano with PH in Seri Setia. If that is the case, then it is clear as daylight of the "alliance" between UMNO-PAS.



If this is true, then UMNO and PAS should not hide behind vague statements.

Maybe, it is for the better if N27 and N32 by-elections is carried out on the same day. If they can run PRU 14 in one day, why not 2 by-elections?

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
