Of clueless PAS... in Sg Kandis

No... Yes... "We are not with them", "We want HARAPAN to lose Sg Kandis"

In short, PAS is headlessly clueless of what they wanted in Sg Kandis. PRU 14 has PAS spinning to nowhere...


Who is in charge of PAS now? Hadi Awang has been silent and his defeated Info Chief will be campaigning for UMNO in Sg Kandis. It must be frustrating for Nasrudin Hassan when PAS decided to sit out PRK Sg Kandis. So frustrating that he seems clueless to tell his party supporters who to vote for, comes 4th August 2018.



Nasrudin Hassan is caught with roundabout statements of :-

1. He will campaign against HARAPAN's candidate because the candidate must not be allowed to win;
2. He refused to say if PAS is asking the party's supporters to vote BN candidate;
3. He claimed that PAS stand is for HARAPAN candidate to lose Sg Kandis;

In Kota Bharu, PAS VP said something else :-

1. PAS is not going to campaign for BN in Sg Kandis;
2. How can PAS and BN be together as they are from different parties;

Now, now... is PAS info Chief implying something that it's VP doesn't know? PAS Deputy Presiden says it clear :-

1. PAS will allow its members to vote for anyone they prefer in Sg Kandis;
2. PAS Sec Gen says that PAS' non-contest in Sg Kandis does not mean it will work with UMNO/BN in Sg Kandis;
3. PAS should vote in the interest of Malays and Islam in Sg Kandis;

Maybe PAS has lost its stings when they go for broke in PRU 14 with many of their candidates losing deposits and pants during the historic 9th May election. Now, PAS is without funds and as such could not even put a decent candidate for a Malay majority area such as Sg Kandis.

I was in the area last night and things are not getting heated up for PRK. That said, PAS is still licking the bashing they had in Selangor and that said... it is wise for PAS supporters to stay home on 4th August and see how UMNO/BN fare.

Me? It's nice going Durian and mangosteen hunting...

Next stop.... PKR dismantling government from inside...

Of mighty MIC fortunetelling...

Some are so obsessed with Zakir Naik. Before it was Penang's Ramasamy and not to be outdone, MIC is taking up the cause...


Sg Kandis will be Harapan's litmus test. For now, Sg Kandis has dwarfed PAS kingmaker's role to a supporting role. PAS seems t be contented to play the role of carpet roller to UMNO's candidate.

PAS is caught wetting on its own. Its leaders are not sure whether to back UMNO or Harapan. Nasruddin Hassan says that Harapan must be defeated. PAS Info Chief said that by not contesting in Sg Kandis, the opposition votes will be rock solid behind UMNO to ensure UMNO's win. Is that true? How sure is Nasruddin that PAS voters will follow his que?

PAS Deputy Presiden, Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said that PAS will not help in UMNO's campaign.

PAS Deputy Presiden at odds with PAS Info chief? Or is this signs of PAS internal bickering for failing to be PRU 14's kingmaker?

If that is bad, MIC is claiming that the Indians will vote for UMNO in Sg Kandis. How sure is this? Even if 100% Indian votes for UMNO, can UMNO win Sg Kandis this time around?

Can UMNO wins by putting an outsider as their candidate? Can they win when they once threatened to run on UMNO's logo? Honestly, I feel PAS has a better chance in Sg Kandis compared to UMNO.

Whatever it is, good luck Lokman. Hope you will not lose your deposit come 4th August 2018...

Of non-political misinformation... deliberate or real

Take a rest from "Sila duduk dan jangan lari"..


Sometimes I wonder whether Malaysia is going the right path on fruits export market or are we still falling behind due to misinformation and our own stupidity.

On November 2017, Tajuddin Abd Rahman said "pengurusan industri kelapa akan digabungkan di bawah satu lembaga bersama-sama industri nanas dan buah-buahan". It means the coconut industry, pineapple and fruits will be combined under one new board.

Today, I googled and I still see Lembaga Nenas still there.... Does this means there are still various boards to manage different fruits?

In short, now I understand why there is no advance in our industry. Just look at this article. It reads "Sarawak set to become production hub for MD2 pineapple variety"

Reading the fine prints, I stumbled on the following information (or is it misinformation?) :-

1. 100,000 MD2 pineapple trees would be planted on a 4,000ha piece of land in the area;
2. MD2 Pilot Project located at Kampung Padang Pan in Bau would be launched on Jan 13 to meet China's market demand in the future;

It looks ok, right. Look closer...

100,000 pineapple to be planted on 10,000 acres? Is this logical? On simple calculation, it means 10 pineapple for every acre. Hey!!! How big is a pineapple plant? Only 10 plants (trees) in 1 acre? The Director of Lembaga Nenas, Anim Hosnan must be joking...

Interested in what Anim is saying, I google his blogpost....and came up with Nov 2017 posting regarding pineapple. When you read the posting, it reminds me of Lingam, the lawyer. Only this time, Anim the MPIB DG says it doesnt look like the pineapple but if it taste the same, then it must be the pineapple variety. Complicated, isn't it.

I have only 1 thing to say... how can we declare something as what it is not. More so when we intend to export to foreign market. What if the "experts" out there call the bluff? Who will be shamed???

I brought this up to my friend and laughingly he said "the blind teaching the blind on what you see..."

Looking back, last year it was Mousang King when Liow wanted to export big time to China, now Anim wants to export pineapple to China... only 10,000 mehh??? Must be the joke of the year....

Me? I shake in disbelief.... kalau tak tahu katalah tak tahu.... tapi nak kata tak tahu ni kenyataan DG MPIB... pening, pening.

Of PKR's potential blast in own face...

Of late, PKR is putting the rest of HARAPAN's partner on edge claiming that since PKR has the most number of MPs' within the coalition, they should be getting the majority of posts.

Well.... the bad news is, it might be a potential blast on PKR's face and worse, it may jeorpadise the new Mahathir-led government. Is that what PKR (read : Anwar Ibrahim wants?)



Let just say that this posting is pure academic. That way, it will not affect anything already in place. Hopefully, it remains academic if HARAPAN's Speaker choice is someone other than Johari Abdul.

When Johari's name is mentioned as possible HARAPAN's choice for Parliament speaker, his own party colleague came out to shoot the proposal down.

Surendran pointed out the following :-

1. Johari needs to vacate his Gurun state seat and this will trigger a by-election in Kedah;
2. HARAPAN's simple majority in Kedah will be compromise and this can leads to possible BN-PAS takeover of the state;

On surface, Surendran is quite right but on the other :-

1. Surendran is Johari party colleague, why can't he whisper his case to Wan Azizah instead of bleating out in the open?
2. Is Surendran trying to imply that since he is a lawyer by profession, he wants to be considered as a candidate to Parliament speaker?
3. There is an uneasy political turmoil in PKR with proxies fighting for the top posts. Is Surendran a proxy too and his statement is directed by someone higher up?

There are too many cooks now. Everybody wants to say their piece. Where were they when BN was in power? Look at G25 as an example. They were not in the forefront when HARAPAN takes on BN's juggernaut. Now that HARAPAN is in the driver seat, G25 is "telling" HARAPAN who should be what... Is G25 really eminent government officers who are neutral or are they part and parcel of the parcel that brings Malaysia to RM 1T debt bracket?

Back to Johari Abdul. It is not about him now but look at the macro picture. If PKR insist on Johari Abdul as Parliament speaker, PKR is actually putting Kedah at risk.

Is this PKR's move to say that "I am the big brother" of HARAPAN? Or is this Anwar Ibrahim's way of saying "I control what happens"?

I say, giver Tun M and his cabinet space to do what they do best. No interference from Surendran or others. What Surendran is doing is just like the Malay saying "Kalau saya tak dapat, semua orang tak dapat"

Remember ex-AG Apandi? Swiss AG now openly claimed that Apandi refused to extend cooperation when he headed AG's chambers. Where were G25 at that time? Silent!!! Not even one quack from the so called eminent ex-government top post bearers. I love to see their response now...

Is Apandi acting on Malaysia's best interest or the better interest of ex PM? Apandi should come out and explain if he truly believes that he is acting on government's behalf. Keeping silent is no longer an option, not when the Swii's AG clearly mentioned Apandi as the person who refused to extend cooperation.

What has Lokman Adam get to say on this? maybe another bout of cash donation to help Apandi to sue Swiss AG, perhaps?

Me? I prefer to look from afar...

Of Gentlemanly conduct... with or without

It is a dying breed. Yesterday, the youth of Malaysia teach the rest a thing or two about Gentlemen conduct...


Najib has been finally charged. Let the court decides whether he is innocent or guilty of the charges levelled on his person. That's for the lawyers to argue and present their case.

At the same time, it should not stop the rest to provide their comments based on their perception. For me, there is always this statement "Legally right but morally wrong". Even if Najib is proven legally right, what he did is morally wrong... That's my personal opinion. And that's why I am not a judge heh heh heh.

A day after the full cabinet is revealed, Syed Saddiq clocks in for work as Minister of Youth, a position previously held by KJ. What is interesting is the manner these 2 young guys acted. KJ is magnamous in handing over the job to Syed whilst Syed complimented KJ for the job well done.

Looking back, I guess this is the only Ministry that undergoes a "proper" handing over since PH took over Putrajaya in 9th May 2018. Shame on others (old guys) who failed to provide a proper handing over, and that includes ex PM Najib Razak.

This is what I am talking about. The youth of Malaysia has great potential and if this maturity persist, we have a great future ahead. This in part is matured politics.

On Najib, I am not going to comment on the charges and the perception. Whilst many were initially concerned if Najib will be in the famous Orange MACC lock-up suit, the opposite is true. MACC has been gracious towards the ex PM and accorded him the dignity of wearing a suit to court when he was charged earlier today.

Najib can claim of anything under the sun as what his daughter is pleading for the rakyat to think of her father just this once.
Did Nooryana ever think of the rakyat? I don't believe so, not when she lavishly spent her friends on several occassions at the expense of the rakyat. Did she ever know how the rakyat suffers and will be suffering to repay 1MDB debts and those that is still unaccounted?

Nooryana as a daughter is correct in asking for moral support but as z citizen of Malaysia, Nooryana must also go to the grounds and feel the pulse of the normal people who are trying to survive daily. Don't just stay lofty in Pavilion suites forgetting about the less fortunate amongst us.

How many of UMNO members came to Putrajaya last night in show of support towards Najib? My information says only around 50 turn up. What a far cry when Najib was in power. Where are those who screamed "IM4U"? Lost in transit?

This shows one thing. In UMNO, you are only beholdenly golden when you are in power and able to dish goodies. Without those, you will face the world alone.... and Najib is slowly learning this. 42 years of spoon feeding is over. Now Najib has to answer for his misdeeds.

Of UMNO's cracking up "All in the family" unity...

UMNO's Presidential election expose another serious flaw in the beleguered party. Once since as a party of "comrades", an ugly truth returns - UMNO do have sore losers.

If left unchecked, this can lead to more serious troubles ahead...

Remember Ku Li? Once a serious contender to UMNO leadership back in the 80's, his Presidential election lost to Tun M leads him to form the now definct Semangat 46.

Zoom to 2018 and Ku Li makes another bid for UMNO's President'spost, going against Zahid Hamidi, KJ and 2 others. He still lost. What else is new, you may say...

This time around, Ku Li thought he got the post wrapped and ready for him. He read it wrong and he came in third with a dismal 20 over divisions. Ku Li had wet draems of him leading UMNO to charge back at Tun M. He had over 200 UMNO youth delegates visiting him a couple of days ago and had division leaders swooning around him.

In the end, he came in third. No medals there. Does Ku Li accepts his defeat graciously? The answer is NO. Instead of declaring his open support for Zahid Hamidi, Ku Li sticks to UMNO's SOP of blaming others for their shortcomings. If Najib blaims negative perceptions for BN's 9th May loss, Ku Li put the blame on "money politics". So typically UMNO and what Ku Li incidentally do is opening up UMNO's long-open secret of vote buying.

What Ku Li fails to realise is that his statement maybe used to needle in UMNO and MACC can openly investigate UMNO and its leaders of money politics. Ku Li put a safety clause by saying that "rumours has it" but he is better off shutting his mouth than to blame on "hearsay".

I guess for Ku LI - If I didn't win UMNO Presidency then nobody should be either. Bad move there, Ku Li.

It is still OK if only Ku Li comes out as a sore loser. Now KJ, UMNO's golden son, reflects his trueself when he claims that UMNO warlords use threats to get the delegates voting their way. Isn't KJ one of the warlors himself. I mean, he was the immediate past leader of UMNO youth. Isn't that a position powerful enough to shake the earth and send shivers to the rest of UMNO leadership?

KJ claims that the warlords use threats. KJ should be more precise how the threats work. If the threats are related to political coffers and projects, there are now none since UMNO has lost their golden goose by the name of Putrajaya.

If KJ imply of money politics, then KJ is actually admitting to MACC that what MACC did to freeze bank accounts is the right thing to do.

Both KJ and Ku Li may be sighing relief as Zahid Hamidi is called to be MACC's guest tomorrow. I guess for Ku LI and KJ, whatever it is "yang menang jadi abu, yang kalah jadi arang"

Where is the supposedly UMNO's family spirit in party elections? If party elders and movers like Zahid, Ku Li and KJ could not embrace that spirit, how do you expect the 16,000 over delegates to embrace that spirit?

Hamid Albar quit UMNO, Bukit Gantang MP quits the party, Bagan Serai MP left UMNO, and the latest to openly quits the party is former Puteri chief.

In short, UMNO is now a flawed party. It is Najib who planted the flawed seed and Zahid Hamidi is harvesting on poor crop of UMNO leaders.

Me? Let's hear from Sabah UMNO....

Of rocky road ahead.... UMNO

UMNO is at critical crossroad. The recent UMNO Presidential election offers their members three choice :-

1. Stick to the deformed convention;
2. Trust the old guards; or
3. Gamble on uncertain changes.

17,000 UMNO delegates across the nation, minus Sarawak who has no UMNO division, opts to stick to deformed convention.

I say, good luck UMNO. UMNO choose the rocky road...

30th June is another cornerstone to the once mighty UMNO. After the rakyat show UMNO and BN the exit from Putrajaya, UMNO still dizzy from the fall from Putrajaya crown opts for convention. Not the normal convention but a deformed convention.

Najib is gone and facing mounting prospects of mismanaging Malaysia for the past 9 years. As days drag by, Najib seems more lost than ever and still could not accept the humilation of 9th May 2018.

UMNO, with Najibless leadership coupled with their own abyss of party election which may or may not be accepted by ROS goes for leadership election on 30th June 2018. UMNO choose Zahid Hamidi over Ku Li and KJ.



My first question is Why UMNO choose Zahid? There are so many issues against him and yet UMNO members choose him over the other 2 (well, actually there are four) other candidates.

Did UMNO members overlooked these following points? :-

1. Although Zahid is the highest ranking UMNO after Najib, he is actually an elevated to Deputy UMNO President after MY was purged from the party;
2. Out of 3 VP, Zahid seems to be the last man standing after SA was also purged 2 years earlier from the party and H2O opts to ride the sunset after GE14;
3. H2O who was actually the PM-designate (rumour?) decided to stand down when his cousin ie Najib was humiliated on 9th May 2018;
4. Zahid's roots was and still is the concern for many. If normal channels are applied, is he a Malaysian? I leave it at that and you guys figure out;
5. Zahid as Najib's second man carries Najib's "infamous" legacy. Is this what UMNO wants to potray itself to the rakyat?

UMNO is still in self denial mode. The Presidential election reflects that feeling. UMNO members are still stunned with 9th May 2018. Unfortunately UMNO is running out of options and time. Delaying the party election will further jeorpadise their already precarious registration with ROS. Now that "CHANGE" is the air, UMNO can't afford to be legally illegal hence whether they like it or not, UMNO is force to carry out the party election soonest possible.

Ku Li days are now officially over. His often aloft stand distance him from the members. This UMNO Presidential election sends him a clear signal that he is just another MP who has lost touch with the masses. Where Ku Li once has all the chances to lead the nation when the opposition calls him to lead, he choose to be in his comfort zone and now when UMNO members wanted to rally behind him, he fails to shine as a possible leader. Good bye, Ku Li.

KJ's 4th floor baggage is haunting him. His potrayal as a new voice of UMNO went unheeded. Obviously, KJ appeals to the young where he once lead but his approach is scorned by the elders of the party. KJ's political future is now in Zahid's hands. All his bearded approach fails to convince UMNO members that he has change.

What are the options left for UMNO? Where are the true leaders of UMNO who has been in the backburner for years? Those professionals whose ascesion to UMNO leadership curbed by the greedy warlords of UMNO. This Presidential election should be the signal for the warlors to retreat. Unfortunately, UMNO members is sending the wrong message.

The VP and MT posts will reflect the seriousness of UMNO to change. If the warlords and the old guards are still there, then UMNO has a tough rocky road ahead.

Maybe UMNO members are sending a signal to their leadership and that signal is for UMNO to "better close shop". UMNO has its chances and UMNO opts to remain arrogant by choosing the wrong team to head them.

With all the recent developments and revealation, maybe and just maybe, UMNO can take a long rest from Putrajaya, say at least up to GE 16.

PH needs a good sparring partner and UMNO fails... maybe UMNO needs 2021 to really elect capable leaders. The question is - will UMNO still be legally registered by then? Or will UMNO be dissolved by 2021?

Me? I call on all UMNO warlords to make way for others. Your time is over. Get UMNO true warriors in to carry out the original UMNO struggle, if they still remember what the struggle is all about...
