Political Chaos in Perak - My Point of View



Who is ruling - Is there any difference?

Look at the mess the fight between the ruling government and the opposition has caused. In the name of democracy, talking about the benefits of the people, these are the mess they have created. The once peaceful Malaysia has turned to what I used to see in my younger days where Indonesian mahasiswa protest against their government. And, have a look back of how the country fall into its economic crisis in the year 1997, after waves of protests causing the government to center its attention in handling these protest rather than on the economy itself.

Today's ruling government is viewed as the opposition when they opposed the British rule back in the 1950s. Being too long in power, of course everyone will slack and as a result, the purpose of being the ruling party is forgotten. Everyone will surely slack after being in their comfort zone after a while. 

Here then comes the opposition, digging out all the faults of the ruling party and causing a great deal of it. Looking back in history, democratic government takes ages to grow into a developed nation. The Americans took more than a century to reach where it is now. Developed. Too much resources and people power is wasted in campaining, overthrowing government, coupe, whatever chaos a political turmoil may result. 

On the other hand, look at China. The People's Republic of China only took a mere half a century to reach where it is now, the third largest economy of the world! Isnt that much more efficient. You tend to think why people in China doesnt get discontented with their government? They do. But the way the Communist government deal with things has its good side of it. It shuts all the discontent and take the whole nation's benefit as a whole. What for waste resources in overthrowing a ruling government? Look back at how the Chinese government deal with the TianAnMen incident back in 1989. Its effective even up to today. People now just dont care who the hell rules the nation. They only want a peaceful, growing nation which can provide them with a reasonably decent livelihood and peace! So, for a Malaysian citizen like me who is sick of all these shameful shit of protesting here and there, wasting time and resources, I dont really give a damm on who is ruling! Just give me a prosperous nation, be it a nationalist or capitalist!

What damage the opposition has did - an ignition of peoples' anger
Out of so many who protest in the streets, I guess if you grab a handful of them, ask them why are they really protesting, in the name of what and what makes them join the crowd, I guess 40% of them wouldnt know why are there! THey just want to join the crowd. Some might have a mere little discontentment towards the ruling party, but being ignited and lead by these opposition leaders, they began to think that they are actually back by hundred of thousands, doing the nation a good act in protesting for the people! What the heck are all these?? You guys got nothing else better to do rather than shout in the street? 
Opposition always triumph if the timing is correct. Timing here refers to poverty, economic downturn and jobless rate. Look at why the Third Reich/Nazi Germany triumph back in the 1930s. Its because of the poverty, the hardship of people's life that cause the party to triumph and to gain so much support. The Treaty of Versailles actually set the stage for another world war. Germany in that time was in desperate search for a leader to get Germany out of the depression that Germany is experiencing as a result of that Treaty. And that leader is Adolf Hitler. Hitler is just the right man at the right time and place. Without social unrest, he wouldnt have succeed in what he is being labelled today as the dictator. 
Basically, social unrest only causes more social unrest. Its generically a cycle. A party nurtured up, rise to its peak and then downfall it comes.

A split nation cant stand
A nation with its people split cant stand by its own. Even our own Malaysian history shows us this with strong evidence and is taught in History throughout secondary education. The split among the people and leaders caused us to be colonised by the British, Portugese and Japanese for a few century. Arent you all sick and ashame of this colonisation? Think! Why does Thailand doesnt gets colonised throughout its monarchy rule even until today? Have you ever heard of Thais protesting against their own King? Never. Set aside the political unrest that is happening in Thai today. Its again a result of protesting in the name of Democracy!..A split nation will end up falling into the hands of stronger dominant powers. The legacy of British rule within our own nation reminds us of the days of us being colonised. Lest Not Forget those who fight for our independence by not fighting among our ownself. Protesting and not waging war is just a mere 'eye trick' or a more 'civilised' way of civil war. Eventually, violence will set in when peaceful manner fails to work with too much police intervention. Then, terrorist will take the chance to recruit its suicide bombers to act 'effectively' against the government by blowing up government buildings. Next, in the name of Global Security, dominant military power will come in and place military assets in the nation. Pakistan today is a good example of all these. The fight between the Islam and the Indians has caused the US to have drones flying in their airspace hunting down terrorist in the name of anti-terrorism. Do we want that in Malaysian soil someday?

Who will benefit ultimately
Stronger nations will ultimately benefit from this social unrest. Lots of precedence case to be referred to. From modern day Iraq, Pakistan to ancient day Malaysia, it shows that civil war and social unrest will only benefits foreigners, not the people who fight among their own. Although a physical colonisation is kinda impossible in this era where media and global critisism is strong, don forget we can be dominated by many terms. Economy and 'soft invasion', like military assets placed in your nation to have a constant check on your progress, like US in Japan. 

Who will suffer
We, the people will ultimately suffer the most. Those who trigger the social unrest is intelligent enough to 'cabut' once they smell that things are going not right. They can easily migrate to another nation once things get out of control as they have all the financial capability. We will be left to rot here in their mess they have created. We want this? Look at Iraq. People are split, between the Sunni and Shi'te, blowing up among themselves with foreign created weapons. Who benefits? Security forces and bomb makers and those who colonised and suck the oil out of their nation!

Wake up people!! Don turn Perak into a WarZone someday till the King need to declare a state of emergency with martial law. By that time, who rules wont a difference.

My new Laptop....

Exactly 2 weeks after placing my order for my new laptop, or 'toy', it finally arrived today. Was a great day today. Went uni just to collect my assignments for Materials Management and guess what, we've got a wonderful grade for the group assignment. Its 32/35...! Both me and Kevin just cant believe our eyes!.. Hoping for the same too for another group assignment tomorrow.


After that, I left to Carousel's Next Byte to collect my new 'toy'. After paying the remaining amount, I finally get a hold of it!.. Boy.. Switching from Windows to Mac really makes me kinda lost!! It took me quite a while to actually install skype and how to eject the cd from the cd rom..! Just cant believe how technology 'unsavvy' I've become just because of a switch of OS. 

Well, its a MacBook Pro 15" 2.4GHz, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 3MB L2 Cache and 250Gb HDD. 

Got it together with Office 2007 for Mac and a DVI-VGA converter. A sling bag was given as a gift to compensate the student price that they are to match. 

Its my most expensive and precious piece of equipment to date and all I wanna say is thank you mum and dad for this opportunity of studying here in Australia and also for this piece of high performance equipment!! Thank You!

I've got to figure out how am I gonna get a CS3 and also Photoshop elements for my Mac when I get back. Perhaps install Windows on it.

Behold, MacBook Pro 15"

No MEH??

DAP blow to Sarawak KTAR

KUCHING: Sarawak tycoon Tan Sri Ting Pek Khiing discontinued with plans to build the proposed Tunku Abdul Rahman College (KTAR) branch campus in Bintangor because the Opposition turned it into a political issue against him.

Ting said he felt upset when the DAP accused him of attempting to use the educational project to bribe the voters in last year’s election.

“When you want to donate something (by building the college) and people drag you to court ... how could this thing happen?’’ he asked, referring to the DAP’s bribery allegation against him in an election petition.

The petition was filed by defeated DAP candidate Dr Wong Hua Seh. Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Ding Kuong Hing defeated Dr Wong by a 51-vote majority in a five-cornered battle.

Dr Wong’s petition was rejected by both the High Court and Court of Appeal.

Ting had promised during the election campaign that he would donate land and pay for half of the project’s construction costs if Ding won the polls.

“I never had any intention to bribe the people. This is nonsense,’’ Ting said yesterday.

In last week’s state assembly session, the DAP criticised the SUPP for failing to keep its election promise after Ting announced that he would discontinue the project.

Ting said the SUPP had nothing to do with the proposed project, which was initiated by him, as the party did not have the means and resources to undertake such a big scheme.

He was disappointed that his good intention to implement the project as a personal contribution to his birthplace, Bintangor, had been turned into an issue and had drawn unfounded accusations.

Ting said he had spent some RM40mil to acquire and complete earthworks on the 120ha piece of land.

He said when he first announced his plan to build the campus in 1994, his sincerity and ability to implement it were questioned by certain people.

“They did not support the project as they said it could not be done. people,” he added.

No meh? Isnt that a 'sweet' used to sweettalk the people to vote BN?? If that Ding won, he'll build. Else He wont. NOW? No build eventhough he won.

Como Jetty

Its a beautiful Sunday after past 2 days of stormy weather. Skies are clear today and there is no rain too. The first half of the day was spent sleeping in bed till around 1pm. What a waste for not appreciating this Sunday of good weather. 


Its the start of the last week for Uni tomorrow. Means its study week after this coming week. I've drawn up my revision schedule and I'll keep to it. Having started with revision earlier on, I'd much time to juggle around, which makes me feels good and unpressured. Still needa catch up with revisions although not pressured to catch up with time.

Having completed almost a set of pass year for Analytical Marketing this evening, I've decided to go for a photo taking at Como Jetty. Its accessible if you park your car at Preston St and walk across Kwinana Freeway via the overhead bridge.

Mid-Way to finalising all assignments

Its 2 more weeks before Uni officially ends its lecturing session. Its another week for me before all assignments are due. I've practically finished off everything, waiting for the submission date next Thursday and Friday. Being so ahead in time, I took some time off this weekend, selecting pics that I've taken and also went to King's Park yesterday evening and have a glimpse of sunset from atop the DNA tower. 


Its really unbelievable how fast time passes. Again, its another semester coming to an end. What more to say, most of my friends who entered local uni has already completed their studies and are either indulging a taste of working life or having a nice holidays now. Me? I've still got another year to go practically. 

Well, I know I'm behind time. Well behind.. Working hard to chase up and for that, its 5 units for me next semester. That's overloading and I'm hoping I can cope. With that, I can speed up my studies to get it done after summer semester next year. 

As for GRTCA that have been going on back in Kuching, my congratulations to all for archieving 2.9. I know its a bit low but as long as everyone is happy and is not 'overloaded' then I guess that's fine. Lots of things need to be implemented I know. We are really behind compared to others. Hang on....I'll be back soon!!

Battlefield Ipoh




A House in tatters
ANALYSIS
By JOCELINE TAN


It was one wild political circus at the Perak legislative meeting and the ensuing fiasco suggested that the acrimony between the two sides has reached a point of no return.

THE calm outside the Perak Legislative Assembly was a surreal contrast to the heightened political temperature inside the House.

The police had gone about in such a no-nonsense way to bar people from gathering in the area that one could have lain down in the middle of the road and not be run over by traffic.

Inside the grand building, pandemonium was the order of the day and no one, not even the fact that there were supposedly two Spea-kers in the House, could bring order to the proceedings.

It was one wild political circus from the word go.

In fact, what happened bordered on anarchy and it is difficult to visualise things returning to normal anytime soon.

The acrimony between the Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat reached a point of no return yesterday.

“I don’t even want to speculate what will happen from here because people are no longer using their heads. It is all emotion that I am seeing, the law is being put aside,” said a source close to the palace.

The Barisan Nasional managed to push through its agenda yesterday, that is, to convene a new Legislative Assembly session, replace the Speaker and appoint three new House committees.

But it was not without costs and the embarrassing melee that ensued is something which Perak will not be able to live down for a long while.

Pakatan was bent on rejecting the fact that the Barisan holds the majority in the assembly and control of the government.

Barisan, on the other hand, was determined to cement its control of the House by installing a new Speaker even to the extent of forcibly removing V. Sivakumar from the chair.

“I thought things like this only happened in other countries,” said one former assemblyman from Perak.

One side is focused on forcing a snap state election, the other sees nothing wrong in carrying on till the general election.

Both sides are supremely convinced they command the moral high ground and no one is budging.

The Yang Berhormats demonstrated some astonishing behaviour that was more akin to lawbreakers than lawmakers. There was a lot of shouting, shoving, climbing atop tables, ringgit notes torn up and even a few punches thrown.

One assemblyman, caught in one of the scrapes, lost two buttons from his outfit, exposing his hairy tummy.

This will probably be the last time Malaysians would dare make fun of Taiwanese legislators.

And as some cynics claimed, there was “no sitting yesterday because the assemblymen were standing up” most of the time, trying to shout down each other and pressing on with their side of the agenda regardless of others.

For months, the joke had been about Perak having two Mentris Besar and two governments.

Yesterday, it really did seem as though there were two of each and, for several hours, there were even two Speakers.

The media had a field day although some of them did not know whether to laugh or cry at what was happening before their eyes.

The arithmetic does not favour Pakatan. The numbers are with Barisan but a government should not have to function surrounded by hundreds of security personnel.

The police could be put to better use given all those headlines of tragic snatch thefts in the last few days. They should not be monopolised to safeguard the very people who are elected to serve the people.

The Raja Muda got to deliver his royal address only at about 3.30pm, after Sivakumar had been physically taken out of the House and the new Speaker had taken his place.

The heir to the Perak throne looked regal and composed even after waiting since morning to make his royal address. He made no references at all to what had happened but he must surely be as troubled as everyone else.

His half-hour speech was the only time when there was decorum in the House because the angry exchanges between the two sides re-erupted after he left.

The ill-will between the rival camps was palpable and the House adjourned shortly after on a sour and uneasy note.

“There was no happy ending today,” said an aide to the Mentri Besar.

It was a day of records for Perak but not the sort of records to be proud of.

Yesterday saw not only the Speaker being replaced. Even the Speaker’s ornamental chair had to be replaced because it was damaged during the scuffle.

The damaged chair seemed like a metaphor for the Perak Legislative Assembly.

The reputation of the House has suffered a terrible blow after what happened. But, unlike a damaged chair, it cannot be repaired overnight.

This is a sickening situation that is happening in Malaysia. For months there has been a debate on this state with 2 MBs and now it finally broke out as an 'uncivilised' scuffle in the House. We are really proud to be MALAYSIAN!.. MALAYSIA BOLEH! This sort of happenings is never expected to happen in Malaysia I guess? Totally we are in match with Taiwanese legislators except that we havent have any MPs who start throwing chairs and see blood in the House! What is this??!! We call this a democratic sitting? 

Actually the whole House should be dismissed and call for a fresh election. Now a very simple question. If the government representative is being elected by the people, why on earth that we need a whole army of police to keep off the people whom have elected their representative 500m from the House??Or is it a conspirated election? Use your common sense. Will you slap your own face? NO!This act of demonstrating against their own elected representative is equivalent to people slapping their own face! Is this true? Or is these BN reps a 'non-elected' ones?

1 Malaysia vs One Black Malaysia....Creatice enough!

Enough of this shit! You guys ruining the nation!. Who the fuck be government you think people really cares?We just want peace and governement party that will function. No Talk only! NATO ar? No Action, Talk Only. 

Peace be with Malaysia....

Human Miseries Around the world...

Fighting among the Taleban and the Pakistani government has displaced thousands, if not hundreds of thousands at the area of SWAT where fierce fighting with anticipated casualties, be it civilian or military. 



On the other hand, in Sri Lanka, hundred of thousands have start fleeing the war zone after government forces start to put further pressure on the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Many innocent lives have afraid to be lost in cross fires and also during the harsh escape condition.

People in Malaysia are well informed about those dogs in Pulau Ketam. What about fightings among humans that causes the loss of human lives around the globe currently?

Oh yea...we are kinda bothered with how those civilians treat dogs and dump them at Pulau Ketam. Why not open your eyes and see how these people are suffereing, losing their families at Sri Lanka and also Pakistan??!! Dogs vs Humans!

Yea, I'm a war enthusiats. How much discipline is involved to move such a huge troop around and coordinate fighting? Have you imagined that? Evil or what we meant by terrorising. How to define that? Who is wrong and right? You think the U.S and the Australian and UK troops fighting in Afghan and Iraq is considered to be correct? If those local people has the power to control media coverage, these so called US troops will be deemed to be 'terrorising' them as welL! So What??! Military force will not solve any problem. Its been proven since the Vietnam war, subsequently Bosnia, Gulf War and now, Iraq and Afghan. There are all failure.....Failure to return peace to the world. But we still fight. Its the only way to survive in this world. So as dogs on the island. Only the strong ones will triumph....and remain. Its the same with life. 要拼才会赢!
