Wah! so easy to make a comeback. I thought a few leaders decided to resist his comeback... well, just "cakap belakang saja berani". After 10 years he has been against the government and the allegations he made against the govt, UMNO & BN, now he is back. So easy!
In my humble opinion, it made "somebody" become "uneasy", as it seems it is also a sign of how easy it is to accept "somebody" from outside who is more powerful and influential to make a comeback into the party and take over the top post.
Furthermore, it shows in politics you can change anytime you like, forget about principles, survival matters most... voters? who cares...

Politic getting Hot
A colorful weekend, lately our politics are really getting exciting and hot, just like in the movies; conspiracies, allegations, murders, corrupted leader making a comeback, treason, quitter, party jumping, sacking etc...
But the most hot topic would be the sodomy allegation, and to top it off, it came out when BN is at its weakest - declining majority in recent election, vote of no confidence, lost a seat by court judgment, allegations of criminal involvement, the detention of state political leaders linked with murder, the parliament management ruling upsets journalists and subsequently the latter boycott, the bickering between a minister and the government backbenchers, - while the opposition is strengthening their position.
And looking back the same scenario about ten years ago, everything seems familiar and coincidentally, the situation was financial crisis. It happens in the midst of the rakyat was angry with the fast rising of costs, petrol jumped 78 sen, domino effect on oil price hike - transportation costs, costs of rice almost doubled, inflation is imminent.
So how to divert the people from all above issues... Lu fikirlah sendiri....

RM30bil for 9MP
Its been awhile since i last wrote here, sorry to my readers, i was a bit busy lately.
TheStar 27 June 2008: "RM30bil more - Pak Lah: Spending boost to rising cost of 9MP projects" My god Pak Lah you just cut on oil subsidy, now you spend on 9th Malaysian Plan. Who are in the Malaysian Plan, mostly contractors. And the rising cost of projects, the bulk of it is on building materials, e.g. steel and cement prices. And then who are these contractors? Supporters and sponsors?
Penang's RM1.6bil Monorail project was scrapped but the RM2bil double tracking rail project continues. Why and what is the criteria on the decision? Both are people-centric projects except that one is under government control and the other held by opposition. Can the government provide us with the feasibility studies done on both projects; the expected number of user, the traffic etc. I am sorry to say for Penang people you are not included in the "people-centric" category, even a better road link were being denied. Now only the Sabahans and Sarawakians are the first class "people-centric"; "ask what you want and you get it" (awywaygi); an additional of RM2bil for them.
The Senai-Desaru highways to proceed, how is the traffic? Linking the Senai airport to the Desaru Beach resort is "people-centric"? Well, Penangites, lu fikirlah sendiri...
Personal agenda, empty promises, taking advantages: so by being generous with government coffers means that he is delivering his promises? to who? sponsors & supporters? Why can't we work together, it is for the benefit of the people, the rakyat.
The govt should bear this in mind that "the rakyat vote for the opposition mainly due to fed up with all the bureaucracy, non-transparency, the arrogance & the ignorance of the govt to understand and to acknowledge the voice of the rakyat. He never hears us and I think never will... Of late he always has his own assumption on the rakyat, example, he claims to ease the civil servant burden the govt will introduce twice a month salary without consulting the people especially Cuepacs.
So, my friend lu fikirlah sendiri...

Parliament Motion
Several newspapers today concluded that if a no confidence vote was tabled in Parliament, BN would easily win it just like yesterday's support for the Consumers Affairs Ministries motion. I hope this is just the papers editors assumptions. I hope Pak Lah would not take the issue lightly.
Sometimes I wonder, loyalty for an Assemblymen/MPs, is it for the sake of the people who vote for them or is it to the party they are aligned to? Are they really voicing the rakyat concern or just follow the leader? Bear in mind that if they go against the government's motion, immediately they will be treated as a traitor. Remember, last time when Chief Backbencher supported a motion by the opposition, he was made to resign his post and apologized to the party! Previously I admired him for his strong principle and wills to go against the leader but now I am skeptical.
Back to my topic, if the no confidence motion was tabled yesterday, there would be a different result, especially from Sabah & Sarawak's MPs. Can they be bought by RM2 or RM3 billion of provision? Can somebody define "political bribery"? If Sabah and Sarawak was given huge sum of money because they won most of BN seats, what about Pahang or Johor?
I hope newspaper editor don't likened the result of yesterday's motion as a show of confidence, there could be some MPs just waiting for the opportunity... you never know what is their game after all they are all politician...

Promise, post, sabotage
Pak Lah oh Pak Lah, it seems that Pak Lah's credibilities are easily challenged compared to the time when Che Det was in power, then nobody dare, even to lift a finger. Both leader contrast in their styles and approach.
Pak Lah should take the hint, the voices are getting bolder and bolder.
It is the habit of typical politicians by making promises that later could not be fulfilled. It is impossible to please everybody. Especially the Ketua Bahagian and senior politician, aspiring to become assemblymen or MPs, given political post or Chairmanship of GLCs was passed over by younger candidates and some even by inexperienced Puteri.
Imagine a Senior Politician (SP) who had been a member for over 20 years; been building his/her political ambition, accumulated a large group of supporters and had spend thousands if not millions Ringgit to please the grassroots, was put aside, instead a younger chap but with strong connection to certain leaders without grassroot support was chosen. I am sure the SP would have promised his supporters some kind of compensation, either in post or in cash if he was chosen. Dissapointment can lead to "sabotage" and leaving the party taking the supporters along.
Three months after general election, no action plan against the election result was announced. And no action on the alleged "saboteurs".

Bola, Artis, PAS, Islam, Piket
Kenapa ni fasal penyanyi pun nak piket lagi, dah takde kerja ke? Tunjukkanlah kematangan, sekarang ni parti PAS dah pun menjadi sebahagian komponen kerajaan Negeri. Banyak lagi perkara yang patut kita tumpukan. Ini dah jadi macam suasana masa saya belajar dulu. Ramailah kekawan yang aktif dalam pertubuhan islam akan membuat piket tiap kali kalau ada konset di dalam kawasan kampus.
Kalau tak setuju Ella dan siapa sorang lagi... oh ya Mas Idayu kerana pakaian atau tarian bukankah elok kalau ada wakil atau sesiapa yang dapat approach mereka ini dan tazkirahkan mereka atau berikanlah idea bagaimana jadi penyanyi rock tapi masih bertudung, mungkin fesyen yang sesuai boleh diperkenalkan. Gunakanlah cara yang halus berdakwah.
Janganlah ingat jika kita berkuasa, semuanya mesti melalui piket, bantahan umum, memorandum, bukankah cara ini tidak matang. Janganlah terus menilai seseorang secara terburu-buru. Insya-Allah, jika di approach secara baik, terbuka hati mereka untuk menutup aurat dan akan menjadi muslimah yang sejati.
Kita pun tidak ketandusan artis yang aktif dalam dakwah Islam seperti Akhil Hayy, Kump Rabbani, Raihan dan lain-lainnya yang boleh membantu menghampiri orang seperti ini. Kita dah lihat juga ramai artis yang dah berubah kerana dakwah yang betul, contohnya seperti Noorkumalasari dan Ustaz Azmil Mustapha.
Kita ni sebagai manusia perlu ingat-mengingatkan, jika tidak kita akan lalai. Contohnya, kita belajar agama disekolah, itu mungkin 5, 6 atau 10 tahun atau bertahun-tahun yang lalu. Manusia akan lupa jika tiada yang mengingatkan.
Janganlah kita banyak tonjolkan sifat yang agresif dan negatif sebaliknya tunjukkanlah dakwah secara halus yang selama ini dilakukan oleh pendakwah agama lain. Kita sering mempertikai umat islam cenderung kepada dakyah agama lain tetapi kita tak pernah mengambil pengajaran dari setiap kejadian.
Jika konsert itu mengganggu atau melebihi batas waktu solat, maka memang perlu ada bantahan tetapi bukanlah dengan cara piket. Mengapa Konsert anugerah yang bermula dengan karpet Merah pada pukul 7.30 malam tak ada yang membantah? Soalnya bagaimana masa artis-artis yang dah disolekkan setebal seinci, rambut didandan dan baju dihias fesyen pelik-pelik ni mengambil wuduk dan memakai telekung mereka untuk solat maghrib? Artis lelaki pula, cuba kita tanya mereka dimana surau yang terdekat? Janganlah beri alasan "jamak" apa yang mengizinkan jamak dalam hal ini.
Lu fikirlah sendiri...!

Berita Politik di TV
Sejak akhir-akhir ini, berita TV3 nampaknya terlalu condong pada propaganda BN, memburuk-burukkan kerajaan negeri yang diperintah oleh PR. Skrip yang disediakan malah cara menyampai berita juga seolah-olah semua yang di lakukan oleh PR tak betul.
Semalam 16/6, menyiarkan liputan berita 100 hari kerajaan baru Kedah, penyampai berita bukan saja memperlekeh Menteri Besar sebagai tak layak kerana usianya bahkan cuba melaga-lagakan antara parti komponen PKR, mempertikai manifesto yang belum dilaksanakan...
Hari ini, negeri Perak, sama seperti ulasan negeri Kedah.
Tetapi selepas itu, nada bertukar lembut untuk ulasan 100 hari Kerajaan BN.
Jika menonton berita RTM sejak diambil alih oleh Menteri baru, liputannya lebih seimbang berbanding TV3, nampaknya sekarang ini "Lebih kuah dari sudu". Penyiar swasta lebih hebat membodek kerajaan pusat, mengapa?, untuk memastikan lesen penyiaran kekal. Lebih ketara bila tiada lagi pesaing swasta: Media Prima dah kontrol semua TV3, NTV7 & TV9. Manakala RTM dan Bernama milik Kerajaan.
Apakah ada udang di sebalik batu, masih ingatkah cadangan penswastaan RTM, apakah ini langkah untuk memastikan MP bakal pemegang saham RTM yang bakal diswastakan? Kenapa kita benarkan satu entiti sahaja menguasai media massa kita? Ingat lagi bila mereka hampir menguasai Utusan Malaysia. Sekarang ini mereka menguasai NST, BH, Harian Metro.
