Of planes, plans and ...plain

End of 2014 is all about planes. Not the remote-controlled planes but private and commercial planes, regional and worldwide.

Enough has been said about 1MPM's golf diplomacy. Right or wrong..it is up to readers to judge and the most critical judgement will be during GE14. When Najib returned to visit those affected by the recent floods, his plane is missing... and later traced to be in USA and later trace travelling the globe before touching down in Subang. This writer has no problems as long as the plane is back. Who are the passengers of the flight? I don't care...

However, it is best for the PMO to come up with a creditable and plausible explaination on the plane's route and why the route is take. KL-Honolulu-LA-Indianapolis-LA-NY-London-Dubai-Bangkok-KL is a long journey. Granted that the plane may go for scheduled maintenance in Indianapolis but why the many hopping cities? Running in a just serviced plane?

Hoping that 1MPM will be more prudent in 2015 in using the plane. Afterall, our RM is shrinking and even with the fuel price down, we are still paying the same for our food and other necessities. By the way, that RM stands for Ringgit Malaysia and not any other RM...

Another plane also make its way into our lives at 2014 end. This time it is not just a plane viz a viz QZ8501 but the company operating the ill-fated plane ie AirAsia per say. The burning question is - how do AA operate a route without license? Will AA comes in defense claiming that it is an "on-trial" route?

Not only that, Air Asia needs some soul searching as to why few glitches happen in the course of the past week when QZ 8501 is the headlines of the world? Overshoots runway, irregularity and the such within a week of QZ 8501 is too much to stomach. Something may be wrong somewhere... and it may be costly for Air Asia to resolve all the issues.. read somewhere that even India may be reviewing AirAsia operations there...

Humans plan and sometimes it may backfire. Is that what happens to Paul Phua? Who is Paul Phua? It seems that he is under house arrest in USA for gambling-erelated offence. A letter was said to be issued to FBI seeking Paul's release as he is identified as "assisting Malaysia in projects affecting the country's national security". True of false? maybe Ripley can provide a better answer....

Now that the water has receded, a question arise - Is 1MPM6 strong enough to handle the floods?



After much criticism from netizens, 1MPM6 flew home "leaving his family" behind to visit states worst affected by the floods. Barely a week after, PMO tweeted "1MPM6 down with E Coli infection". Unbelievable, isn't it? When...

1. Those affected by the floods brave the muddy water daily for almost 7 days;
2. Those affected by the floods eat "nasi kawah" for days;
3. Those affected by the floods has no proper sanitation for several days;
4. Those unsung heroes who brave the water to send aid to the victims;

How many of almost 250,000 evacuees hit by E Coli infection? Any record or statistics? How many of these volunteers down by E Coli infection? Or is it due to 1MPM6's viral video on "flood acting"?

Maybe and just maybe...when 1MPM6 is down with infection, we will see...

1. The rest of 1MPM6 family by his side reprimanding him for "main banjir"?;
2. 1MPM6 injecting more funds to help those affected by the floods?;
3. MIC responding positively to ROS?;
4. Who actually instructed that the Minister's letter withdrawn from USA courts?;
5. 1MPM6 throwing the towel and concentrating on his "golf diplomacy" (Will Obama invited him if he is an ex-PM?)

So many scenarios...and definitely I am gaining my touch...

Flood, and Malaysian flood typically is an annual event. By normal convention, it occurs annually around December. Thus it is very discouraging to know that our great leaders puts thier priority above the nation's needs.

Of course, it will not be complete if this post does not highlight Najib's "Rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diuatamakan" is now proven as mere rhetorics. When the nation is facing one of the biggest and worst floods in years, he opted to spend his holidays in Hawaii in the company of Obama.

First, it is not wrong to play golf with Obama but the timing is off cue. Najib conveniently put the nation at the back of his mind and how can he claim that his thoughts is with the rakyat when playing golf? Come on! Any golfer will claim that the state of mind is most important when playing golf. You cannot shut off your minds from the pains and sufferings of the people just to go for golf diplomacy.

In fact, Obama will respect Najib more if Najib opted to pass the golf over his nation. He did not do that and after heavy criticm from the rakyat, Najib "reluctantly" return home. Too late...

Anwar Ibrahim fare no better. Anwar may claim that he is not the Pm and he is not in position to direct the agencies. But he forgets...as the opposition leader, his words carry weight. He did not utilise that...and he lost out a golden opportunity to prove that he is the Rakyat's man...

Worse for Anwar, it triggers a new question...

The vacation photograph sees him riding a mountain bike. Now, I am not going to talk about flood but a different approach. Is it not Anwar who we see walks ever so slowly up the stairs to deliver speeches. Is it not this same Anwar who some Doctors claim has bad back and could not perform on bed?

If this is the same Anwar, then explain to me how can he ride the rough terrain of mountain biking? Or is this a mirage of sorts?

2015 is here... and I am back... Rustic to a point but will be we3ll greased and oiled soon :)

Of thorn from within...

HRH Sultan Selangor has spoken. His Majesty basically spoke his mind on MB Selangor saga and how PKR (read Anwar Ibrahim) did not heed his request for a few candidates to MB's post.

Before the dust settled, Anwar's trojan horse in PAS make his claims...

Say what you want, I don't care. I read Pakatan's continual governance in Selangor till now is mainly contributed by PAS's support to Khalid Ibrahim's governance. With minimal EXCO members, Khalid managed to float Pakatan's rule in Selangor eventhough he himself has been ousted from PKR. The four EXCOS from PAS has make up the minimal requirement to keep Selangor government afloat without the need for snap election.

I will say again that if and only if snap election was held last month, Selangor will definitely be BN,s for the taking. No joke...

Regardless of what happened, new MB Azmin decided on a 3-3-4 (PAS-DAP-PKR) lineup with a possible PAS elective as deputy Speaker. Why possibility and not confirmity? Reason is clear. The deputy post is an elected post and PKR-DAP combination with Anwar's blessings can torpodoe Azmin's intentions. Simple as that.

Saari Sungib, state rep from PAS has been increasingly vocal. He is firing in the open towards the more 'conservative" ulamas. It is his rights to do so but do you really thinks that he did that out of his own free will? I see Anwar's hidden agenda here. It may be small but this is the beginning...

I propose Saari Sugaib and PASMA to set their own political party. If you could not follow your leafder, then it is better for you to get out of the jemaah and set your own. Bring along your supporters, I don't care but stop becoming a thorn from within. If Saari Sugib who jumped the gun feels better to be in PKR, by all means declare so.

After all, those who jump started will be disqualified in sports meet, so Saari and the likes can do so on their own...

Of "past experience syndrome"...

Hj Hadi and Lim Guan Eng might be forgiven. Anwar Ibrahim? No reason to claim ignorance. Not from someone who used to be DPM and the one who thinks that he is the rightful heir as PM. If he mismanaged the Selangor MB fiasco, then what do you expect if he runs Malaysia?

As usual, Anwar is now trying to work himself out of his own mess. This time around, he blames past experience for his and PKR's 'defiance" towards HRH Sultan Selangor. Better still, he claims that he is following the constitution. For a man of his stature, Anwar misteps big time.

Whatever happens to selangor now is immaterial. Now, if ever PR wins GE 14, Anwar will again be the man who will spoil the party. As a man with his experience, he should know better than to offend HRH. He has all the resources and opportunity to meet HRH to explain his next step. He did not do that. Instead, he use the public to win support.

Now, everything falls flat to his face. But Anwar being Anwar is writhing his way out. I am not looking into Selangor scenario anymore. I am looking post GE 14 when (and if) PR wins. Will Anwar nominates just his name as PM? If that happens, do you think HRH Agung will accept? I am sure what happens in Selangor will be tabled in the next rulers conference albeit unofficially. Out of the nine rulers, who will support Anwar's actions?

Anwar has lost direction. In his blind quest to hold power, he has offended HRH. At the same time, he is now opening the opportunity for his wife's political nemesis to be the next Selangor MB. Worse, he is paving the way for a possible snap state election. Worst still, PR may lose Selangor is a snap election is held. Mark my word on that.

It is time for Anwar to re-evaluate his usefulness to PR's cause. It is not just his cause to be the PM but more important of the rakyat's aspiration for a better Malaysia. Just because some of us work hard to ensure PR's good performance in GE 13, it does not mean the same will be applicable in the future. This is no longer about Anwar. This is about our future.

Think... can we rely on Anwar if everytime he hits a brickwall, he blames on others. Now he is talking about past experience and practise. Next he will claim he follows constitution. Never is he brave enough to say, "I am sorry. It is my mistake"

Of chicken head...

Honestly, I like to shout "I told you so.." but these politicians conveniently did not understand what royal decree means...

When it comes to politicians, they just loves twisting facts and figures to their own advantage. I have previously hinted on Selangor but de-facto leader is too arrogant to read between the lines. Now, the issue has exploded in his face and the next best thing thing he can do is to sought a plastic surgeon to alter his face... That may be possible but to change his bloated ego???

What seems to be a simple change has become complicated because of Anwar's insistence that his wife and only his wife should be nominated as Selangor MB. Of course, Anwar threw bits and pieces to justify why WA is the candidate for Selangor MB. Of course, I have raised out some points on this in my previous posting.

Anwar being Anwar is still bullish about WA being Selangor MB. Unfortunately, he conveniently forgets that Selangor is Malaysia's "gold mine" and HRH is no push over. When HRH requested for a few names to be submitted, PKR arrogantly declares it's WA and that's final. Anwar forgets that this is Selangor and not Penang. Selangor is rich with culture and HRH/royalty house is entwined with their subjects. Anwar is from Penang where there is no royalty, thus Anwar fails to realise and understand the deep ingrained of love between Selangor subjects to their rulers.

To please his political master, academician and so-called law expert Aziz stressed that HRH has no room for personal choice. Wow, he is dead wrong. HRH has his say and maybe you guys think it is over, but is not over for HRH. HRH has a final say... normally HRH says aloft of political arena but when it concerns the well being of his state, HRH will put his foot down and send Anwar crashing over. Aziz, with all his academic prowess better keep his mouth shut if he did not know this. Not all are written in our legislation and even written, not all are interpreted as what it was intended to be...

What does this leads to? Simple, if Anwar is going on a head-on colission course with the palace, then I will say it is sayonara for PKR. By going head-on, Anwar will fall into a dangerous trap. BN will accuse Anwar and PKR of being party set on abolishing the monarchy. If this happens, then PKR is a goner... and it is not PKR President who sinks PKR but de facto leader is the one who pulls the plug off PKR.

DAP? I did not blame DAP for not understanding the culture of having monarchy. That cannot be said of PKR. PAS has been trying to please all parties and in doing so, PAS has been accused of abadoning PR. To me, PAS has done the right thing. PAS keeps the options open and let HRH made the decision. PAS has submitted their list to HRH and that list includes WA. It is HRH prerogative to choose who he thinks best to do the job. Personally, WA is just not my choice.

Let's stop there. I am just back from a journey and needs to recover. The next time, it will be more hard hitting and direct...Oh yes, who's the chicken head? Anwar of course....

Of rejecting, turn down and honoured...

Still slow but warming up guys...

Politicians... If they can twist and turn, they will do that. In fact, they have no conscious even if it means swallowing your own spit.

Look at Rafizi now. His latest statement contradicts what we have been taughyt up to do. Is it not an honour to serve the king? When Rafizi says that all PKR reps will decline a nomination, is it not jump[imng the gun? How sure are you that when you are nominated, you will be selected? Geezz...

Let's go back a little... better still go back to the 70's when we are brought up memorising every words in RUKUN NEGARA. In fact, old timers will still remember that RUKUN NEGARA is printed at the back of most exercise book.

Saying that, is it not part of Rukun Negara for us to be loyal to the king? What does loyalty means? Is it not, as I say, an honour to serve the King? What more if one is chosen to serve the King as well as the state...

I see PKR is diverging from the basic tenets of Rukun Negara. All because of the greed of 1 person. No, No... not Wan Azizah. That person is Anwar. He thinks he is a great orator... and thus by singing a few Hindi songs...he thinks he can hoodwinked others to place him as de-factor MB of selangor. I say - NO, stop that clowning.

Running Selangor is not like playing PS. You don't play with 30 % of Malaysia's wealth. Just because Anwar is a politician, that does not give him the license to use Selangor as his trump card in his battle against Tun M or Najib.

This is not about winning. For Anwar, Menang jadi Arang is better than kalah jadi abu. The truth is - both will lose. And the biggest loser will be Selangor. Rafizi has his days but he is now blinded by his compassion to see Anwar as de-facto MB of selangor. Anwar's reasoning of Wan Azizah as MB is weak. Just because Wan Azizah used to be opossition leader then she shud be MB Selangor, then what stop Anwar from saying that since he is the opposition leader, then he should be PM, even when he is behind bars?

Of foolhardy PKR...

I rarely used that word before. However, the way PKR is acting...that's the best I can say of their leaders especially the one who thinks "he is of PM value"

Being silent doesn't means that I am far from the scene. It is just that I need a break with all the workload I am having as well as the travelling and the near misses in the past months.

Let's go straight to Selangor. What is wrong with PKR? First, they claim that Khalid is the best choice and now they wanted him to be replaced with "Kajang move". backtrack a bit. "Kajang move" is mooted to enable Anwar to contest. However, his ambition was cut short by the lingering court case and Azizah stands in for Kajang. Now PKR is puffing for Azizah to be Selangor MB.

I am not going into details here... just some serious observation for consideration :-

1. Is Azizah local selangor? The answer is NO. Then, does that mean PKR has no other better choice than Azizah as potential MB replacement?;
2. Azizah as MB but who will be the real MB? Azizah or Anwar? If Azizah is just a stand-in, should Selangor with 30 % nation richness be run by puppets?;
3. Azizah used to be MP and she "made" way for Anwar. Will she do the same with kajang?;
4. HRH has said that he needs more than 2 candidates for HRH consideration. Why is PKR so adamant only on Azizah? Is PKR sounding off and thinks that they are bigger than the royal instiution? Has PKR forgotten how Idris Jusoh of Terengganu lose his MBship?;

I have more to write but let me grease off the rust in me...
