Of Loke's misteps.... and Tok Mat's action plan

Is winning and becoming Transport Minister is too big for Anthony Loke?

Missteps and courting unnecessary controversies is unsettling PH leaders. This should be arrested soon unless PH is aiming for a 1-term government...


The latest controversy courted by Anthony Loke needs scrutiny. Remember his aide started Anthony's trouble when he alledgedly accused RTM of sabotaging his boss when RTM dis not broadcast the inister's activity during the recent Chinese New Year do...

The aide's complaints forced Information Minister, Gobind Singh Deo, to instruct RTM for report and finally the Minister cleared RTM of any wrongdoings.

It all comes to Standard Operating Procedure and hopefully the aide will not rush into accusing others of sabotaging his boss in the future.

Wait!! Even before the dust settled, Anthony Loke courted another controversy, this time in China when his wife was in the official meeting.

The questions arise :-

1. Why was she in the official meeting? On what capacity?
2. Why did Anthony Loke upload it in his facebook? Wanted to show off that his wife is in the official meeting?;
3. Did Anthony Loke understand working protocol?
4. Anthony Loke claimed that the Chinese Minister invited the wife to sit in the meeting;
5. As a seasoned politician, Anthony Loke should graciously turn down the invitation and let the wife sit out of the meeting;
6. Is Anthony Loke's wife bounded by sworn secrecy for Official secret? She is not so why Anthony Loke puts unnecessary added pressure to his own?
7. Anthony should learn from his seniors and predecessors and Tun M is a good example. Did Tun M brings Tun Hasmah to sit in official government meeting?

That said, Anthony Loke should not be juggling himself out. A wrong is a wrong and maybe it is time for Anthony Loke to find a new and more able aide.

Enough on the foolish actions of Anthony Loke....

With Rantau By-election coming in soon, UMNO is trying to capitalise on their shaky relationship with PAS. Tok Mat, who got EC to declare Rantau state seat vacant, is expected to be re-contest there.

Tok Mat said :-

1. He would rather be vanquished in Rantau than to step down;
2. He vowed to defend Rantau state seat;

In anticipation of Rantau by-election, Tok Mat declared that UMNO and PAS will meet in the near future to map out their way forward. Both parties intend to :-

1. Discuss details on their co-operation between the two parties;
2. Tok Mat (Acting UMNO President) and Tuan Ibrahim (PAS Deputy President) will lead their respective parties;

Well, well, well... where is Hadi Awang? Isn't he and Takiyuddin express their support for Tun M as PM? Weren't they too the one who pledge that they will not co-operate with UMNO? Or is it all shadow play? Or is there any possibility of Tuan Ibrahim taking control of PAS and sidelining Hadi Awang?

The next couple of days will be interesting. How will Anthony Loke wriggle out from his over-obsession of facebook? Will Anthony apologise? make a U-turn? Who will be the fall guy?

On Tok Mat, is UMNO showing MCA & MIC the door whilst opening another door for PAS? Is UMNO going ultra Malay with PAS in tow? Or is UMNO signalling that they will be "purely" Malay party with no connection to MCA?

Me? Why court trouble if trouble don't disturbs you... unless you are Papagomo...

Wan Muhammad Azri @Papagomo was today slapped with two charges in connection with assault on Minister of Youth & Sports during the recent Semenyih by-election nomination day. The court lowered the set bail at RM 8,000 from the original RM 30,000.

My take? Why must Papagomo "tunjuk Hero" to Syed Saddiq? If really wants to be a Hero, find a more worthy and apolitical cause.... Ada berani?

By the way,... MACC is closing in on PAS. Things doesn't look good for PAS when STAR reported MACC seized luxury cars and freezes bank accounts of several top PAS leaders. This may put a huge dent to UMNO-PAS co-operation in Semenyih. Is that why Hadi Awang is still a no show in Semenyih?

Will PAS maintain their UMNO-friendly face now that their backs are on the wall? You guys decide... Maybe what Tok Mat wish may not come true when 5th March comes about...

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