Malaysia : Of wild dreams, nightmares and ...

What you doing tonight? Dream on...

Barely a couple of months ago, Najib says he can sleep peacefully with his wife, sharing the same bed and the same dreams. 1MPM6 at that time got a resounding aye from Perlis and Sarawak. That was ..aahhh a couple of months ago. Then, it happens... the questions, the sacking of DPM, AG, as well as the "1 day transfer" of senior MACC officers afterwhich the dreams becomes nightmare for the couple.

August 2015 will be forever etched in part of Malaysia's history when BERSIH 4.0 witnessed Tun M's whirlwind first day visit capped with a press conference on the second day. Did you remember Najib's face during Merdeka 2015 parade?

I thought I was the only one observing his forlorn figure until Jakarta post proved me wrong. A day (or two) later, Paul Yong stand in for Najib in an international anti corruption conference. Regardless of what Paul said, it is a lame excuse for Najib's no show.

Reeling from the recent setback, Najib says never in his wildest dreams that he expects his former mentor cum boss is against him. Well, Najib, you are wrong and you cannot blame Tun M for taking his stand. If only Najib can recall his actions of not turning to Tun M as his advisor. Najib also failed to declare the now infamous "where does the money come from", sack his deputy for questioning the "money trail". I guess the dreams just ended and the nightmares will take over from now on.

Whilst Najib is still dazed with Tun M's absence from Merdeka celebration, Tun M is in Jordan until 9th September 2015, coinciding with UMNO supreme council meeting. Is Tun M meeting the mysterious Arab donor? Or is he there to clear Najib's on the "donor" issue?

Enough of suspense there. Little birds are chirping that Nuhyiddin, Mukhriz, Shafie Afdal and few others' UMNO membership will be suspended until further notice. If this is true, then apparently Najib's strategists are running out of ideas and BN will be shown the exit soon. Maybe at the time of writing, some legal eagles are poring through UMNO constitution to find the right clause for the 9th September action.

When little birds chirped, it is continuous. A planned counter rally is expected on 16th September 2015. Although it is themed as "I love PM" rally, the choice of venue is unintelligent. And the organisers have not lodged their intention with the police yet, as of this writing. Just because they are UMNO die-hards who masked as "Himpunan rakyat", does that give them a blanket cover to do whatever they want in whatever place they want? I wrote yesterday and I say it again - if they want, I dare them to do in Penang at Gurney drive or esplanade. But then again, these "spotlight seeking members" will not have the fun to "sweep" the dusty lanes of Jalan Bukit Bintang.

Behind all this charade is another instant MLM (multi level marketing) where the normal guy will be paid a token amount whilst those higher up the hierachy will get more. Not only that, I heard it will be "full cover" for the participants.

Things are moving at a faster pace now with Swiss government freezing millions of USD amid investigation of 1MDB. If that is not enough, today court order for Najib and others to file defense over suit of overspending during GE 13.

Things are not getting easy for Najib. Even LDP, a BN component party gives up hope on BN power sharing formula for Sabah. LDP is not alone, MCA veterans are getting restless. Najib can forget about beautiful dreams in the days to come.

Why bother to finds ways "menegak benang basah"? Is it not better to compromise and find solace elsewhere and let Zahid, Muhyiddein, TR to fight out to be the next "Malaysia number 1 servant"? Then Najib can be Tun M-Abdullah Badawi matchmaker.

Me? I am getting old with all this unnecessary "man-made" issues. It is better for me to find my soiled pillow and bid yo

Malaysia : Of parting ways, words and ...

"Setelah layar telah dikembangkan, apabila sauh telah dilabuhkan, pantang ketua kapal dan anak-anak kapal menoleh ke belakang,” -
Najib Tun Razak (Amanat Merdeka 2015)


Things change... Some have to part ways because of different political stands.. as it happen to once "a party within a party" then turned to Gerakan Harapan Baru then now take over the dormant "Workers party" and renamed it Parti Amanah Negara (PAN).

My thoughts? Before I take a step further, PAN has to review Workers party regulations and aims. A lot needs to be change so as to tailor the party constitution in meeting GHB's aspirations. First and foremost, I would like to see if PAN is open to all or open to a segment of society. If it is open to all, on what principles are they working on? If it is just for civil rights, then what is the difference between PAN and PKR? If it is on similar course with PAS, then why does it abandon the scripture guidance?

Yes, GHB is made of professionals who are Anwar die-hards, the ones who will fight tooth and nail in seeing Anwar being the next PM of Malaysia, by hook or by crook. The same group who is willing to discuss with BN lawmakers to table vote of no-confidence against Najib, as long as there is a side agreement that Anwar will be let off from Sg Buloh. Me? Rightly or wrongly, Anwar has been convicted in Civil court of law and as such the same court will make judgement to reverse the verdict. In short, let the laws takes its course. Simple as that.

GHB has been blessed with "ready-made" parliamentarians who abandoned PAS. I am not going to go into the "baiah" discussion as it is best for the relevant parties to discuss the "baiah". However, I feel just right for those GHB-turned PAN members to resign from their parliamentarian positions and let by-elections to take place. Afterall, if they are really sincere, they should make the sacrifice to let go of the parliamentarian status and let other equally deserving GHB members to take their place. One fine example is GHB President himself, Mat Sabu. His adviser can also be considered to take over the "vacancy".

Let the people judge whether they accept GHB-PAN or BN or PAS. PKR and DAP can stay out and reserve all their resources, financial and logistic support to help GHB-PAN. Afterall, DAP has declared that PAS is out of opposition pact equation. This solution is better than GHB-PAN getting langsi unnecessarily.

BERSIH 4.0 is over but do you know that on 30th August, PM Najib was in Kuala Terengganu officiating an event?. Don't know? Well... what caught my attention is part of Najib's speech which categorically labelled rally participants as "sekor-sekor" (se ekor se-ekor). That word is normally reserved for animals and if it still stands, does that means someone on that particular day and time categorise rally participants as ...? Is this how a well-mannered, well brought-up, well-titled person should be uttering? It is not wrong, just does not seems right. The same when uttering "bangang", "bangsat"...



Then again, something must be terribly wrong with Malaysian upbringing, or is it just another typical "Ayah kencing berdiri, anak kencing berlari" syndrome?. I mean, if Najib can utter those words (which is unacceptable to my standards), then nothing extraordinary if Nurulhidayah utter the words "bodoh". Afterall, she being the number 2's daughter must follow the examples set by her father's boss. Am I right? If a soldier, by profession, can say (or write or labelled) others as "bodoh", then we as civilians can say words 10 times worse that what she utters. Can we?

At the crescendo of BERSIH rally, another UMNO hopeful pledged to up the ante, promising 1 million gathering in front of Low Yatt building. What a joke is this fellow hatching? Knowing Low Yatt building and its surroundings, there is no way you can put 1 million people within the confined space. Not only that, what has Low Yatt building got to do with BERSIH? Unless, this particular Datuk has a hidden motive. If he does, then I hope PDRM will nick his plans now. If he wanted to "repay" BERSIH for "taking over" Dataran Mereka, then they can reciprocate by taking over "Gurney Drive" or "Dataran Shah Alam", if they have balls.

The past weeks have not been kind to the rich. It is said that they are "less rich" by RM 16B. If they are "less rich", then what about the poor? How poorer are we?

One of the reasons for government's inaction towards BERSIH rally is the international event on anti-corruption. Those in the know and those reading the news know that Najib is skipping the event. Sadly, the last person to know is another "collective cabinet decision" member by the name of Paul Low. Reason given is poorly scripted "possible hostile reception". Aiya...if the boss is all ready with his Bugis silat and warrior stance, what is a motley anti-corruption delegates can do? Yet, the Bugis "hero" choose to stay away. What's so scary answering simple "yes" or "no" questions. If he can't stand to answer the questions in Malaysia, then how can we expect him to field the same questions overseas?

Parting ways, words... one about a group of men whose "ego" is getting too big for their heads whilst words don't come easy for someone with "Nothing2hide". Me, I have my own parting style...

Of three ladies...

Don't be too serious. Yet, there are so many choices available...

"Rumah siap, pahat berbunyi"... That is what happening now, post-BERSIH 4.0.
First stop - yellow phobia. A day after BERSIH 4.0 ends, a young lady was apprehended for alledgedly floating down 7 balloons during Najib's visit to Pavilion. The charge? Intentional insult. What's so insulting about the words justice, press freedom? None of the balloons contains any four letter words that might insult anybody. The messages were just a lady's inspiration for a better Malaysia. Is that wrong? Is it illegal? Heck.. the balloons did not hurt anybody and even if it did, what physical harm can 7 balloons do?

Did you hear about another young lady who is also a lieuftenant and happens to be a daughter of an up and coming politician branding BERSIH rally goers as "bodoh". Well... she claims to be exercising her right to "freedom of speech". And just because she is a daughter of a politician who is on the "other side" of the fence, does that make it right to brand others as "bodoh"? Fortunately, she is not trained to be a Sukhov pilot. I dread what could happen if she is one.

Another lady who is on the "other side" of the fence but chose to sue UMNO's President for the missing RM's got the boot. Is that how the President "earns" respect from the party?

Three ladies... if you have to choose one, what is your choice? Will you pick the first for her ideals of a fair and just society? Or will you go for the second one who has no problem calling others "bodoh" because they did not synch with her father's party President? Maybe you choose the third who dares to sue her party President for the "missing" funds. I know you guys are torn between the three. Me? I think P Ramlee's "Madu Tiga" is fine...

Of Yellow hangover...

BERSIH is over. My initial thoughts...

It has been a long time since I last post anything. It is not because of lack of issues but I see that it is pointless to get myself riled up for something the masses will not understand.

Although my colleagues make an all-out effort to attend BERSIH 4.0, I choose not to attend the yellow movement. The issues and the points are still there. eck, even Tun M chose to see the rally first hand. Me? I choose to opt out. The reasons will be hopefully listed below.

It is my choice and my style to write from the heart. And this is no exception.

Why I chose to sit out? First, the marathon-style rally is not our style. Not when we are a multi-racial, multi ethnic, multi-religion society. BERSIH 4.0 intention is noble from their point of view but do they consider.. the long rally and overnight rally opens the possibility of our young to be involved in social problems? Yes.. the organisers may say it is up to them but it is the responsibility of BERSIH 4.0 to ensure that these young generation especially the girls are well taken care.

Hate PAS and say what you want. I back their position to stay away from BERSIH 4.0. If you guys do not understand why, sit back and reflect with an open mind why PAS choose that path. I choose to salute PAS for their stand and on the same breath abhors GHB for their stand.

GHB was fine. They feel that because they backed Anwar as the possible future PM, they will go all out to stick to their beliefs. I will not put pictures here but when Mad Sabu allowed himself to be photographed together with his fan(s) in a questionable post, it reflects their stand and lack of stature. Think.. if Hadi or the late Tuan Guru is around, will they allow themselves to be in the same predicament as Mad Sabu?

That is not all... I see the police has been generous in allowing the rally to go on for the marathon. What I see on Sunday is utter disrespect to the authorities. Is it not paintings on the tarred road of Dataran Merdeka when the organisers know fully well that the stretch will be used for National day parade?

Next, Tun M make a brief appearance in Pasar Seni. Did you guys read what Tian Hua said? Did you guys listen to what Mat Sabu said? Blatant disrespect to Tun M.

Should I say more? Surely, I will... One thing for sure...I am back!!

Of "jahil"...

I am sorry if it is going to hurt but sometimes you need to put things in the right perspective and not let your knees (lutut) to do the thinking...



"Did you reach 1MPM6's interview last night?"
"No, I don't"
"Why?"
"Asian got talents is better :)"

I admitted that I did not see 1MPM6's interview last night and depending on who you are rooting for, I think I made a good decision. There is nothing new is his answer and being pre-recorded, the interview is not "off the cuff" type which is more to my liking.

Having said that, I did however read some blogs where they "posted" live comments from viewers in one of the popular private station. Overall, many of the commentators give thumbs down of the interview. I doubt if that is the real comments as surely the private station has a "built-in" censorship to avoid unnecessary or expletive comments.

However, there is one newsposting in the Sun that caught my eye and I feel obligated to use it as the core to this posting. The Sun's "I'm answerable only to the rakyat, says Najib" deserves second and serious look. A nice and catchy caption but has serious implication.

Let's go to the points raised in that article. 1MPM6 says :-

1. I was elected by my party and by the people to lead the country. As such, I am answerable only to the rakyat – not to any individual

Sure or not? Najib was elected by his party (UMNO) but the people did not elect him to lead the country. It is UMNO and BN who choose Najib to be the leader. In that sense, 1MPM6 statement is partially right...

2. And if at the next general election, the people want change, they will let us know through the ballot box

Even if the people want change now (based on census taken by independent pollsters, will he resigned? The answer is NO. If that is the case, then if the next election, even if the people do not want him to lead the country, nothing much can be done if UMNO and BN still choose him to be PM.

3. "I have sworn on oath three times in a mosque in Permatang Pauh that I did not know Altantuya and I had no direct or indirect involvement with her,"

Anwar also swore that he did not do it but the courts find him guilty. Are we to take that swearing supercedes evidence presented in courts? Is this a precedent?

4. "It is important to remember that 1MDB's assets are greater than its liabilities. So, in very simple terms, if 1MDB were to be wound down tomorrow, the company would still have some assets and money left even after paying off all its debts."

Is this falaccy? When a company winds down, normally the usual terms of "jualan murah", "jualan runtuh" and "jualan penghabisan" will come into play. That said, do you think a winding down company can command good price for their assets? Normally, they will dispose the assets at a much discounted price.

Those 4 is sufficient for me to say that 1MPM6 is talking in riddles.

Why do I comment on this report? We are answerable to whatever we do and our answer shall be judge ultimately by our Creator. There, you can't hide behind anyone else nor can we talk in riddles.

When a statement is made without cushioning that ultimately the Creator will judge our actions and words, is that not "jahil" on our part? Jahil because we did not put the Creator in His proper place and jahil because we think that we are judged by the rakyat.

maybe our politicians need to go to classes refreshing what jahil is all about and how to avoid living in a jahil world...

Of "Serba salah"...

No...no...it's not that new song. This is from R. Azmi's 40's song...

Sorry... for the glitch :( :(




Some claim it is blowing hot and cold between Tun M and 1MPM6. Whatever it is, I see it as a point of no return... Someone or something got to give...sooner or later.

Like 1MPM6, I too choose "elegance silence" for the past week, step back and see where the country is heading. What I see is not a pleasant scanario.

The Chinese strongly believe in bad omen. It is not good to mix joyous occasion with death. Unfortunately, nobody tells this to 1MPM6 when he opted to pay his last respects to Lee Kuan Yew when he is in the midst of celebrating his daughter's wedding.

A few days ago, 1MPM6 lost two of his trusted lieutenants in the fatal helicopter crash in Kajang. And shortly before that, another of his trusted lieutenant were called to meet his Maker.

Three within a space of 4 days. This should be a time for 1MPM6 to do some soul searching. I called it "Muhasabah"...

Last week has been a rough ride for Anwar too. He lost his father almost on the same day Jamaluddin Jarjis lost his.

1MPM6 lost three of his trusted lieutenants, Anwar lost his father...could it be a subtle way from Him? I mean, whilst everybody is taking sides for or against Kelantan's wish to implement Hudud, both 1MPM6 and Anwar has set their elegant silence regarding the issue. Are they for or against? Since both are leaders of their respective packs, they should made their stance known. They did not...

Is it because they are undecided ie "serba salah"? To second Hudud means losing portion of their supporters but going against is definite no-no as Muslims. And that brings us to the "muhasabah" issue.

Whilst 1MPM6 celebrate his daughter's wedding, he lost three of his closest confidante. Jamaluddin Jarjis, for good or for worse, is his closest confidante. They were together in the same UMNO division before Jamaluddin Jarjis "moves" to Rompin. By that move, both of them avoid "meeting" each other for the Division Head post. For that, 1MPM6 is forever linked to Jamaluddin until death do them apart.

Facing mounting issues such as the Altantunya "mystery", GST, 1MDB, 1MPM6 needs to look within himself and ask - Did I do something wrong? Am I on the right path as Malaysian leader? Am I in the driver seat or am I letting Malaysia runs on auto pilot?

The same goes for Anwar. Losing someone close is a reminder that we too, one day, will be meeting our Maker. So Anwar should ask himself - Am I as clean as I should be? Am I innocent of all charges? Did I do something heiniously mischievous? Am I "Malaysia first, family second" guy? Am I free from nepotism which I accused other of committing?

Both 1MPM6 and Anwar should also ask themselves - What they have against Hadi's intention to table private bill on Hudud? What is their main intention - to grab power or to submit to His laws?

Some may ask why I am taking such a stance where Hudud is concerned. My friend yesterday asked me the same question. My reply " I am a Muslim and as a Muslim, I am His servant and will follow His laws and abstain from things that comes with His wrath. I make it clear that as human I have my weakness and for that reason, I am always seeking His forgiveness and compassion. The same for all who profess "Allah is the One God and Mohamad pbuh is His messenger".

It is not my intention to give a sermon but...Do you guys know that Hudud was implemented in Medina on the 2nd year of Mohamad's Hijrah from Mekah? Do you know that for the next 9 years when Hudud was implemented in Medinah, only 1 person was found and sentenced guilty under Hudud? Do you realise that during Abu Bakar's time as caliphate, only 2 cases were trialled under Hudud? The message here is simple. If Hudud is implemented in Kelantan, the Hudud laws is not as draconian as some painted it to be.

If some argue that Hudud is irrelevant and is not applicable in our country, do you know that when Hudud was implemented in Medinah, only 30 % of the population are Muslims? That means, it is applicable even in a non-Muslim majority society. Why? God know best what is good for His creation...

Back to 1MPM6...1MPM6 can choose to zip his lips if others raised the question..but this time Tun M is asking the same question as we have been asking for the past many years. 1MPM6 can't afford to keeo his mouth shut as that will brings many implications. Tun M has valid reasons and questions. All 1MPM6 needs to do is to own up to Malaysians.

To me, I see an easy way out for 1MPM6. Put Tun M as candidate for Permatang Pauh. If Tun M wins, itis a boost for BN and a morale demon for PKR. If Tun M lost, it is Tun M's political death. Whichever way, 1MPM6 wins. Wait...it is not over. If Tun M wins Permatang Pauh, then maybe 1MPM6 can open the door to PM's office for Tun M to return to the hot seat.

1MPM6 is not a political analyst. He will disdain this idea and will find a sacrificial goat for Permatang Pauh. Why? 1MPM6 is in such a dire state of "serba salah" that everything he touch is rotten... my feeling? "The end is near..."

Of "Menuju puncak"...

Bogged with medical issues, I am back...



The past week has been quite tumultous to some and exceptionally busy for others.

PKR has (again) shoot it's own feet when #kita lawan failed to attract large turnout for their so planned "wedding gatecrashing". This is a good sign to all and sundry. It shows that not all can be "blindfolded" to do your bidding. By now, let's hope PKR realise that it is no longer easy to pull the bulls by it's nose.

Maybe Najib make many mistakes before and still doing mistakes now. That does not give anybody a carte blanche card to oppose everything connected to Najib. 28th March was her daughter's wedding. It is a private family affair and by that, I believe Najib should be given enough space to celebrate her daughter's wedding. Period.

DAP played it right when the party did not support #kita lawan's plans to gatecrashed the wedding. As a party, DAP has make a clear statement on the issue and it is up to their party members to act on their individuality, as long as they keep DAP out of the game. The same should go to PAS as not many of their members turn up in their party HQ to start the march to KLCC. Sadly, however, there are still a few "Bijak tak boleh diikut, bodoh tak boleh diajar" "party leaders" who stick their neck out to partake in the march andin the process got caught prior to the march and some were hauled up after the march.

DAP/PKR may feel easy to haunt PAS to discard Hj Hadi. All because of his intention to bill a private bill on Hudud. PKR may think they have enough clout in PAS to oust Hadi but do they really? Raja Petra's view on this is pleasant indeed...

Between the three opposition parties, who is the weakest link? PKR potrays Hadi as the weak link..but I say PKR is the weakest link. Why? They never grow up...

Remember Anwar's family filing for his pardon from YDP Agung? News has it that the appeal has been rejected by the pardon board. This decision was confirmed today by the high courts. Just in case the first news is doubtful, the STAR carries the news too.

Anwar's lawyer was present in the high courts when the said court confirmed decision made by the pardons board. That said, what else Anwar's family want? Mind you that we have been tolerant for so long but sometimes, crybabies need to be stopped! If the High Court agree that the convicted person has been informed of the Royal board decision, then what is there to argue anymore? Just because Anwar failed to tell his family of the decision, then it is wrong?

The perception needs changing is Anwar is not all angelic. His family wanted to paint Anwar as "never guilty". Who can be sure of that? Is his family trying to sell the idea of Anwar's maksumness? For those who do not know, Maksum means free from sin. It might be acceptable to sell the story of one's good deeds but to potray oneself as above comitting sins? It is sometimes good thing for his family to relax and stay back, reflecting what Anwar did and self-evaluate oneself.


Like it or not, Anwar and his family should accept their fate and move on from there. Putting one appeal after another to the pardon boards and using the courts to prolong his case is not a good idea. Permatang Pauh needs better. Rafizi may be right in declaring the Permatang Pauh is not vacant (yet). Let's wait for Speaker Pandikar's decision. If he so declare that Permatang Pauh is vacant, then PKR must be ready to fight on. If that happens, PKR must take the worst case scenario of PAS not sending their full force in the by-election.

Latest Speaker Pandikar has claimed Permatang Pauh seat vacant. EC has been informed and will meet soon to decide by-election date.

Mat Sabu may be there. So will Khalid Samad and Dr Dzul as well as Hatta..the rest? It depends on how PKR leadership approaches Hudud's private bill. This is a by-election that I will not miss. Simply because if it happens, the candidates will be mostly scrutinise on his/her stand on Hudud. If Kak Wan or her daughter stands in and openly rebut Hudud..I will say PKR will lose the election. And it is an equally good time to see DAP's stand on Hudud if the by-election is on...

The Rock says "Bring it on....if only you know what's cooking!!!"
