Never Ending Story

Good evening fellow Perakians, and yes its a day after the Sultans 80th Birthday and Daulat Tuanku from your humble servant.

As I woke up yesterday morning and when I selected channel 502 Astro, I was greeted with the morning news and walaah.....BERNAMA had a quick clip on PERAK and her 34 years of prosperous development and that had me thinking!!!! Where did these people get all these outdated information and seemingly misinformed or through sheer ignorance and probably because Bernama's chairman was being bestowed an official Datuk Seri title on that faithful day.....and congratulations are in order...but u look really stupid by allowing such info to run...no wonder the government lost in the recent election.

All these so called people of stature and supposedly learned personalities, still fails to recognize such irresponsible broad cast of misinformation either in the true light or just blatantly trying to please.

I've virtually lived in Perak all my life even though I was educated, lived and worked abroad for some years but to lay claim that the state has progressed such rapidly seems to be overdoing it i.e. industries, schools, hospitals and places of tourism etc.......isn't that the basic amenities that the government is suppose to provide to all her citizen...or am I still living in Africa........

What Selangor has done in terms of development in Kota Damansara belt is called development if the so called chairman of Bernama does not know what rapid development really means as this small piece of land was fully developed in the short span of 10 years and to compare that with Perak, I am ashamed.

Well I guess if Malaysia is to ever move forward, such mentality should be removed or replaced with personalities of the 21st Century but hey, Malaysia is only 50 years old and can we expect more to say the least...........

The King and Regent has called for closure and move forward for the sake of the rakyat and fulfill all promises made during the election, is a call of responsible monarchy but will the reality of politics ever tow the line......not likely.

UMNO is still ion shambles, MCA at the verge of ruin, Gerakan in silence and MIC virtually missing in action and to top if off....ACA wanted to prosecute someone over RM9.00 bribe and thats the joke of the century......Don't these clowns know, how much time, manpower and resources costs and to have successfully prosecuted this case means nothing as more bigger fishes are still swimming out there, of which they have managed to do nothing......So it goes to show that the PM really has got clowns around him in many guises and I do feel sad for him and all Malaysians.

I use to be ashamed of being a Perakian for lack of development in the past 30 years but now, I am embarrassed to be a Malaysian for the types of behavioral disorder being displayed by all our so called leaders and agencies in government.

So one told me this morning that UMNO is still into power struggle and that goes for all at the federal level inclusive of state level pending the December general assembly and please note in my previous blog, that this was a predictable outcome.

Perak is already reeling from the pains of the 12th General Election with Pakatan Rakyat asking and appealing for funds for development either pledge earlier or recent allocation and my god is this going to get rough and we the rakyat will suffer indefinitely.

Land scam from the previous government is slowly but surely surfacing and that will be another blow to BN and will the rakyat ever trust them again as the mechanism for reconciliation or rescue is still not in place for lack of leadership.

At this stage, I can only lament and plead insanity for tomorrow is not a better day, as days of reckoning and misery is coming and the backlash will effect our lives forever................................

Inilah nasib negeriku PERAK dan negaraku Malaysia.

CHECKMATE - INITIATIVES & PERSERVERANCE

Good morning and welcome to a new dawn for the new Pakatan Rakyat state government of Perak. We get daily ranting and complaints from the new kid on the block for development funds from the federal government etc..bla.bla.bla.......and can't these people get it in their thick skulls that even though there was a promised from PAKLAH (he does not even know his immediate political future would be like), do they honestly think that the funds would just come rushing in???????????????? We are all grown ups and not many people in this world would take defeat gracefully mah!

Well what else is in store for PERAK and as I have predicted, we will be back in the stone age in terms of development (can't get any worse than the performance of BN)for the next 5 years or possibly there could be a snap election in the very near future if my gut feeling is right??????????????????????????????

Will Pakatan Rakyat have the balls to take the bull by the horns and prove their independence of federal funding by raising funds from the rakyat and shame the federal government at it and again prove to the rakyat that they are bankable and we can trust them with our lives??? U think its possible?

Can they raise funds internally via rally, programs, donations,foreign sympathizers etc to make sure the rakyat knows and entrench their political position further for the next election or is this another double edge sword, remains to be seen.

One fact is for sure, DAP has always been perceived the guard dog for the rest of the community for check and balance in the government and now wallah, they are governing and what a cultural shock and they are stil gropping in the dark.

In whatever light and angle we choose to view this senario from, the reality of the matter is that the rakyat of PERAK will definately be at the receiving end of the shit stick and may GOD bless our souls.

THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK

As the country approches its political armageddon via public display of the internal bickerings in UMNO, I cannot help but poke pun at the jokers of this political circus and this is even before Parliment is in session.

Firstly the issue of the pig farm in Selangor, of which was preapproved before the 12th General election and now the previous BN leaders claims that the approval was done by the present Pakatan Government. The previous leaders have gone on a lawatan sambil belajar tour in Germany prior to the election to find the latest techology and methods(WHILE NEGOTIATING TO MAKE SOME PROFIT VIA LEVY - AND THEY ARE MUSLIMS) to farm pigs and still have the audacity to stage a protest at the MB's office to protest for the implementation.This was confirmed by one MCA leader who came to clarify the matter and again proof the standard and quality of our politicians in Malaysia.

The question now is, how incompetent or stupid are our former leaders and the party they represent?I am sad to say the least,the repercussion of political unstability resulting from such actions.Will human beings ever learn????

In Perak the former assembly man (exco - agriculture)of Kampar has asked the former MB to resign for being directionless after the election(AS IF THERE WAS ANY DIRECTION BEFORE THE ELECTON) and its ironical coming from a guy dropped from contesting and the land scandal in Tambun/Ampang being awarded to his family linked company eventhough the land is being used for pomelo cultivation.

Eventhough I support his assertion, he of all people should just shut up lest being branded, "sour grapes", OR WORST. I personally feel that all these jokers should go for therapy or counselling as all of them are still disillusioned and of unsound mind.

Nothing much needs to be said about Tajol Rosli as he has been a lost cause from the beginning and the powers in Putrajaya is just as blind and I rest my case.

As all the analyst, consultants, soothsayers, professors etc coming out of the woodwork with their opinion etc, nothing much is being done in Perak to address all the shortcomings and if Selangor and Penang could be used as an example, all these jokers will be prosecuted in the court of law initiated by Pakatan Rakyat for gross negligence and corruption.

What are they doing (are they funding the rejuvenation prog themselves - verdict - definately not)to regain the lost war, the hearts and minds of the rakyat etc.

As our beloved PM puts it, point taken, point noted but the F..., nothing has been done to date.

If we read the comment of Raja Kamarudding Petra in malaysia today, im sure, the comments and views are even more radical.

Another joker performing his umrah (i.e. Khir Toyo) has written in his blog asking the PM to step down for the good of the nation and one might ask, as to why such jokers exist, hiding behind the phase, " for the love of the party im asking for it".

Doesnt he know that he too was the cause Selangor was lost i.e. demolishing the temples, passing out the broom, approving to pig farm, Data Mat Zak Deros etc a scores more scandals.

It pains me to see my beloved country disintergrating days by day, and the reformist might add that its revolution cum rejuvenation and could someone please refer to the history books and terms in wikipedia to have some sane direction of what history has to teach us and are we aware of the dangers that belies such drastic action or inaction.

AFTER SHOCK

Its been 36 days after the 12th Malayasian General Election and may I add that the average Perakian life style is definately changing (for the better or worse) in response to the europhia of the win by the opposition now aptly named PAKATAN RAKYAT.

With another audacious claim by the ADUN of Buntong claiming that he was offered RM80million to switch parties again has rock the hollow space in his skull(nothing felt by the general public as the claim seems over exaggerated) which seems to be really empty and by trying to upstage the claim of ADUN Tronoh by another RM15 million.

When will these so called elected representatives(win by fluke), ever learn that cheap publicity will get them no where, and this would reflect on their character as responsible and trustworthy ADUN (a term which is sparringly true).

Which stupid individual or political party would be in a position to offer so much money for the services of these two incompetent indian politician, i wonder and for the ACA to open a file and commence investigation on the matter again reflect the standards and operating procedures of the so called agency. Possibility with whats happened in the country they are trying to do something, "wayang kulit", portraying the false sense of doing their work.

Malaysia with her 50 years of independence goes again to show the world that cultural evolution has yet to come full circle hence the adage," 1st class infrastructures but 3rd class mentality".

Latest twist or directive from the Perak Government is to cancel or revoke all land approvals by the former exco's council which land titles have yet to be issued, is another blow to members of Barisan Nasional and their cronies.

This is another nail into the coffin of the local economy as the other measures as mentioned in my earlier blog, lends credence to my view that indeed the local economy is going to the dogs admist the world economy still reeling from the recent financial scandals.

The only consolation for me is that I've just reunited with my long lost class mate(class of 1982) and the relaunch of my career (hopefully to the stars and beyond).

As UMNO is still mud sliginging and with Mike Tyson coming to defend Pak Lah and Mukhriz his father, please tell me, what else is new?

The so called idiots which we called as leaders are still at each others throat and to what end, only God will know and with whats gonna happen in Kg Melayu tomorrow to celebrate the eligibility of Anuar Ibrahim to stand for election after so many years of being in the shadow will again cast a dark shadow on the stability and integrity of my beloved country or is there gonna be one after the dust settles down.

The so called MT of Umno going round the country to explain to the grass roots with stop over in PERAK tomorrow and possibly what good would that do, one might ask and again the answer is only God knows.

The year 2008 is dead and buried and 2009 does not look that good and if ure one of the believers of Fung Shui, ure all screwed again by the soothsayers
...hahahahha....and the moral of the story is, " Faith and destiny is in our hands", and maybe we should all start looking for greener pasteurs in another country just in case the country is doomed to oblivion as most politician would have you believe otherwise for their own selfish gains.

MARRIAGE OF INCONVINIENCE - DAP/PAS

As each day passes, I am of the opinion that the tri-party collaboration between Pakatan Rakyat is beginning to show discomfort and discontentment.

Pas via its youth movement has publicly declared that it wishes to be the moral backbone of the alliance to propogate their Muslim state agenda and as usual Karpal Sing of DAP said, "over my dead body" (maybe due to old age, he will die soon) as this was never the issue as provided in the constitution.

Again, this nagging episode has since time in memorial, plagued the parties involved and till this day, the same topic is being hotly debated and we may want to question the motives of such an alliance, i.e. sleeping with the enemy.

It goes to show that all human beings (in this case the opposition) is willing to sacrifice their ideologies for the greater good (to form the next Malaysian government at all cost and to sell your soul to the devil to serve your objective) and with Anuar Ibrahim at the helm (and GOD only knows what he is scheming).

Irrespective of what Hadi Awang said that Pas will amend its ways for the greater good, are Malaysians so gullible to believe what was being said about moderation???

History of all nations and empires has shown that leaders of their time has always renegaded on their promises (the moon and the stars) and in this instance, Malaysia is living proof, be it from Barisan Nasional or the recently formed Pakatan Rakyat.

The calm before the storm is more evident in Pakatan Rakyat as the rag tag team is trying their level best to build on their recent success and the biggest question now is, "Are we in danger???".

To recap history, DAP has always been the opposition in Malaysia since time in memorial with Lim Kit Siang being the leader in Parliment and the best showing of DAP was having 22 seats in Parliment and now the rest is history.

With PKR being the new kid on the blok controlling more seats than DAP or PAS, are we to believe that DAP will be able to fend off PAS and PKR to assure the Chinese Malaysian public that all's well and we should not worry?????

As far as I am concerned is that DAP only want Penang and do not care about the rest of Malaysia and we might need to question their motives now more so than before.

As most Malaysian would know, DAP existence is partly due to the public requirement of having an oppossition in parliment but now the equation has changed and DAP no longer seems relevant.

Most of us just couldn't care less about DAP, MP's or Adun's not doing their elected job as their sole purpose was just to be the oppossition and that's that.

With the changing political senario, the question posed is about relevance and is DAP still relevant and can they deliver as promised and in this instance I beg to differ and maybe we should start to be more critical.

Since winning Perak with a slim majority, I find that some ADUN's are not that well educated and with their win, I still do not feel their presence or their walk about to thank the voting public.

I only see Penang and Selangor trying to be relevant and again poor PERAK is still lagging in most aspects and I am not surprised.

Where are the service centres for the public??????Most of their current ones are uneventful akin to a ghost town.

I only see LIM KIT SIANG on television daily tagging along with his son during all the publicity stints etc and I am curious since the former opposition leader was voted into office in IPOH. What the F.... is he doing in Penang all the time.
Where is his service centre which was not relevant then, but very relevant now since the formation of PAKATAN RAKYAT??????

He needs to justify and reassure the people which voted him in and please spare us the rethoric of the yester years about PAS and PKR.

With the publicity stint of ADUN Tronoh and ADUN Buntong yesterday about attempts to buy them over, please do not make a fool of yourselves since we have a former TNB wireman and so called budding entrepreneur as elected representatives.

Who on earth is stupid enough to offer the YB's RM65 million and a state councillor seat bewilders me and coming from a Malaysian Indian, I am not surprised akin to Samy Vellu rallying for the release of the Hindraf leaders and this is what we get when we want "CHANGE", to the political landscape and like my companion use to day, "desperate times requires desperate measures", and we voted in a bunch of jokers to serve us in the state for the sake of change.

Possibly this is an attempt to cover the previous wrongs of the ADUN Buntong for threathening to jump ship in the name of MAKKAL SAKTI, what a load of CRAP but still I find such incompetent display of leadership which speaks loud and clear of the quality of the present state government and exco's.

Thirty days has passed and we have sixty days more to go before we can evaluate the present government as per request of the new MB and I do hope for his sake, he would not give me another load of CRAP as per his charges.

THE POWER OF PERCEPTION - A PERAK PERSPECTIVE

Before I went to bed on Wednesday night, Bernama News Flash said: Pakatan Rakyat state government announced lot titles for all gazetted new villages and kampung lots in the state and everyone is entitled to it. Next morning there was euphoria on the streets and market and kampung's all around about the prospect that there is indeed justice amongst thieves. What the BN lead government could not do in 50 years, was accomplished by a band of loosely knitted Exco's in 3 days after the swearing in ceremony which was on Monday - Believe it or Not????????

Well as the ancient Chinese adage goes, those former suckers just got their eye brows shaved and its truly an embarrassment to say the least in terms of publicity or gimmick as if you read between the lines, the new MB did not promised the sun and moon but he will try to accommodate at best provided in the state law. But for the layman, thats an irrevocable promise which might backfire if things are not resolved in the next 4 years for Pakatan Rakyat but hey, this is politics and the perception is crucial to say the least in reference to the former state leaders.

It was also made known to me that the former government has indeed approved 50,000 plus titles during their tenor and I shot back, "What you know and a few people know is not good publicity as the masses does not know, u stupid F...", and the local Pejabat Penerangan and its staff are just negligent but what can most of us do when we use to have a former MB who fails and stumbles.

The recent DAP crisis in Buntong has made me realised, how unstable the present state government is and that their foundation is built on thin ice and any adverse movement would result in total collapse and I am sure all Perakians do not realise the danger the state economy is by voting them in intentionally or otherwise.

Objectively these are the facts on having 2 seat majority:-

1. State funds can only last 3 months without federal support and funding
2. Tourism budget has been frozen
3. JKKK in crisis
4. 9th Malaysian Plan on hold
5. We do not have enough generating industries to depend on or to replenish the state coffers
6. All Federal funding will be delayed or just not forth coming
7. Past M.O.U signed by FDI especially for Manjung, Taiping and Belum will falter as the state does not provide confidence.

and much much more to say the least.

The present state government is too worried about their simple majority in the state legislature that they will not be focused enough to develop the state as they will have to look over their shoulders every second to avoid the Buntong crisis from repeating and they cannot pass a bill in the state legislature on anti hopping as this would require 2/3 majority.

To have a Malaysian of Indian orgin to be in the exco or speaker or senior exco or whatever position is suppose to resolve the problems besetting the Indian community for the past 50 years is it?????

How stupid and naive are all you jokers, what BN or MIC can't do for you, you expect Pakatan Rakyat to deliver is it??? Please wake up or hopefully I am proven wrong then I can rest my case!! Please have some common sense, money and development do not grow on trees and does not happen over night you know, please wake up!!!! and stop claiming that MAKKAL SAKTI won the election for PERAK.

Tell the wakil rakyat to donate their monthly salary for the betterment of the community (if they do not get federal funding) and serve them well, them maybe I will join Pakatan Rakyat and serve the rakyat for life and please wake up to reality and this will not happen in the next decade and as if a better Indian representation will solve the problem.

We have two exco members who are cousins and at the same time members of parliment and with parliment sitting soon, can they contribute to the state affairs is Questionable???

SO PERAKIANS, PLEASE WAKE UP AND WISE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has not dawned on to the man on the street the severe and dire political circumstances of the present political landscape which will be felt in the next 90 days as the new MB wanted to gauge his days in office. We will be really F.... by then and reality sets in and grouses will be loud and clear again.

The man on the street is already suffering and all the contractors, suppliers and consultants are not being paid to date and Federal payment will be delayed plus all the class F contractors are dying and do you honestly think that Pakatan Rakyat will be voted in again in 4 years time,?????I DOUBT IT !!!!!

If today they command a bit more majority, I am sure everyone will give them one term to prove their worth and mettle but that is not to be as some of their so called wakil rakyat are not that well educated or able to provide input to spur the economy as most of us want it to be. As it never dawned onto them of winning in the first place and a good many lawyers in their teams can only mess up the system and most of us knows that lawyers are only good at arguing for the sake of arguing (for financial gain) and not technocrat or economist.

Instability - Politics & Economics

As it rained hailstones 2 nights ago in Ipoh, which most of us would deem as a force of nature and the ever changing environment and to many of us , "the silent majority", is deemed as a bad omen if you believe in the occult and the mystics or is this merely superstition.

The ever changing political horizon to date has not abated with UMNO in disarray, MCA silent, Gerakan senior member resigning, MIC trying for cheap publicity and PPP totally nuked. Much can be said or expected from the new Pakatan Rakyat with Lim Guan Eng preparing himself for jail, DAP in Perak in shambles from the tantrums of Buntong, Selangor government drawing flak from their policies and Ronnie Liu suggesting withdrawing the earlier promise of cancellation of summons by MB and the Kedah government does not want to conrtribute to tourism as promised by the former government and the list goes on and on and the political circus is for the world to watch and pass judgement on our Malaysian incompetence in handling ourselves.

As the storm is brewing in the East coast of Sabah and Sarawak with Jeffery Kitingan claiming that Sabah based political parties are about to jump ship and join the new pakatan, thus publicly claiming mutiny on the federation of Malaysia and Paklah rumoured to have bought 90 suit cases of who knows what (plse use yr imagination) to appease the Gods of Intimidation for fear of annilihation, could some one please enlighten the general hard working public about the future of the country and the political reform of direction she is taking.

With Tun Mahathir and Mukhriz openly challenging the present leadership and UMNO seems to be under siege for the next 6 months pending the General Assembly and power brokers are having a field day while agents and sub agents plot for a bigger chunk of the economic pie, literally speaking, the country has gone or destined for armageddon (worst case senario) or to a definate symptoms of cracking up (worse than MRR2). The year 2008 is gone and kaput since March 8th and the dawn of 2009 is around the corner but does anyone realise the kind of shit we are in with all this power grabbing rampage??? And for Khir Toyo to publicly declare that he has done nothing wrong for the past few years tantamounts to sacrilege or please get him a good defense lawyer. Smart people would normally shut up and only the stupid with do the opposite.

In a democracy, doesnt any politician know that "iron fist", reigns supreme but disguised in goodies and handouts - tow the line and reap the ill gotten profit or die standing if you fight me?
Does this country have such a leader or is he still in hibernation or in disguise or is PAKLAH the man for the job or better Tun Mahathir making a come back to redeem us all and maybe Dato Seri Anuar is the messiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To date, the ever faithful young son in law being rightly or wrongly accused must be given some slack as no doubt very well educated and smart but still lacks the PR aspect to his character and history has shown that ruthlessness (smiling tiger syndrome) is the order of the day admist civil societies and if you cannot take the heat get out of the kitchen or is you cannot be a "real bastard", please do not get involved with politics.

Young man with ego and aspirations and ambition must also come with a sound and articulate mind to rule the ruse of the day and the more friends (plus enemies in disguise) u make or buy will entrench your position.

Maybe all our potential politicans could go to MPH and buy the book by Lee Kuan Yew and learn a thing or two since most of us hate his guts but hey, was LKY wrong???

To rule with an iron fist and crush all rebellion should be the order of the day and get back to the business of running the country successfully instead of every other alternate day some stupid person with throw a monkey's wrench into the system.

This reminds me of the 2008 US Presidential Election i.e. the 3 am phone call.

Has anyone in Putrajaya everthought of making peace with the old man and his balding son, what does it cost to make peace and would it be worth it? Make peace at all cost as the devil or the savior is waiting outside the door in the form of Pakatan Rakyat. This would at least cool down the hot spots and at the same time talk about the succession plan and make an announcement to appease the grass roots and for Gods sake do something. Preserve and perservere your lineage KJ as Paklah has no son to take over his legacy, if there is one after December or sooner should Tengku gets his wish for the EGM.

We are just ordinary folks trying to make an honest daily living and it bleeds my heart to see such childish display of affection, supposedly good for the country and in the name of reform. Think of the country, her citizen, her economy, international scrutiny etc.

And for Gods sake, please announce an action plan for the whole country except Penang and Kelantan (as the destruction is total) and get the former wakil rakyat, umno youth, mb's to start mobilizing reforming measure and initiatives and please do not sit on your fat ass akine to menunggu durian luruh or worst waiting for the cows to come home.

Of course at the end of the day, who is gonna fund all this re-engineering moves and all politicians will lament - "Tak ada duit le", when they can affored Rm3k suits, rolex, posh cars, drivers, 2nd n 3rd wives, and dine elegantly but when it comes to real patriotism - "MANA ADA SAUDARA, BAIK JAGA DIRI SENDIRI ATTITUDE".

Again I am resigned to my fate and the rest of Malaysians for tomorrow is definately not a better day for what's left is only HOPE.

"The Silent Majority", does not care who governs Malaysia (the devil for all we care) but must be done in the right and proper manner and what is happening is totally disgusting.

Inilah nasib negaraku Malaysia yang disayangi.
