Custody Trial

                  

Ehh…Berpantun pulak!

24/4/08:  Anwar Ibrahim berpantun di dalam satu perjumpaan di Sabah malam kelmarin:

Semalam di Sabah

Bikin penguasa gelabah

Ada konco melatah

Konon kita merasuah!

Balas Sdr Andy:

Memang pahit buah peria

Makanan orang pergi menjala

Jikalau mengaku taat setia

Bersamalah kita pertahan negara!

Do you believe Anwar? Part II

Indeed, it is the talk of the town…had lunch at Lucky Garden food courts, over heard the apek, lawyers, office-attired and even the ah bengs talk about him.  Told by a friend that Wan Azizah mentioned in yesterday’s Chinese papers, she wants to become the first woman as PM.  So wife vs husband?

Let us continue to look into what have been highlighted by Anwar recently to stir the emotions of Malaysians generally.  I realised that one of his strategy is to champion on national issues such as to abolish ISA, to curb corruption, to subsidise more on petrol etc…He has yet to attack on any of the BN leaders directly except claiming that Dr.M is an old and sick man.  Anwar had been around the government many years back holding positions of DPM, Minister of Finance, Education, Youth.  Inevitably he has the advantage to analyse the manner of the internal system which is familiar to him.  Why wouldn’t he fights for the reforms or changes pertaining to those national issues then?  Isn’t he was also one of the player?  Come on…these issues have been there for a long time.  If he champions for a true Malaysian society, he should propose to dissolve the PKR, DAP and PAS, and merge into a single-entity party (as suggested by Mah S K) ie forming Pakatan Rakyat as a Malaysian party, then I dare to say he is on the right track.  Due to historical and multi-racial reasons, we in Malaysia have so many political parties that foster unhealthy practices.  Why can’t we become like US (Democrat and Republican) or Britain (Labour and Liberal) that fight for the people irregardless of race?  Did Anwar ever mention about abolishing the NEP?  No! (but David said he did!)  At least the wife did suggested the ideas of replacing Malays’ privilege as the Rakyat’s privilege.

Also when he talks about ‘comfortable majority’, I’ll take it around 35 seats in hand, is that possible?  Don’t tell me all the 30s from Sabah & Sarawak is acceptable.  No doubt he is an orator who speaks to the tune of the general interest of the rakyat.  Let us not forget, was he really innocent of the sodomy charge?  Where would the DPP get the exhibits proving DNA of his sperm then.  Was he clean physically, morally and politically?  neh…

It is time for a leader in Malaysia to really champion for equality and unity.  As far as I’m concern Anwar has yet to reach that spirit or conviction to bring us into a truely developed nation.  A person like him after so many years in politics and imprisonment should have gone to lead a normal life (esp $ is not an issue), what is he actually fighting for?  One obvious answer:  Power.  There is nothing wrong with this provided he is sincere and compassionate to develop a fair, harmonious and successful country.   Think about it…

Do you believe Anwar? Part I

Ok folks enough of Kah Choon, we’ve been fools to read in the papers all kind of stories as it seems that he has premeditated his intention.  Now PKR and DAP are wooing him.  Datuk Chang Ko Youn, Gerakan’s vice-president confessed that the reason Lee took up the posts was because he failed to get what he wanted from the party but declined to reveal what was it that he wanted.  Why is he keeping a secret since he knew it earlier what Lee has in mind?  Come on so long as you leaders out there keep pretending or putting an act, they or the party can never excel.  Cut the crap of behaving like a ‘professional politician’!  Back to the basic as it has always been said – be sincere!  Whatever Lee’s agenda is, I wish him all the best!

Let us look into the Anwar’s plan, something that everybody is talking about it now.  Is he for real?  Can he be trusted?  As discussed previously he has keep everyone in suspense and playing a guessing game.  The crux of the matter is WHEN is he taking over the govt?  He claims: ”God willing…if not next month, then June or July or Merdeka or Malaysia Day.  I think we should not go beyond that” (this will change the bookie’s odds!).  So the meaning of within ‘3 years’ as mentioned yesterday was correctly defined by me.

In today’s Star he claims that he would be a better PM than Pak Lah and Tun Mahathir.  He is also not in a hurry to take over the government yet although he already has the numbers.  “We want a comfortable majority” as said.  Hmm what is he up to?  Cunning enough to stir up the issue through the medias, gatherings, blogs and websites.  How is he anticipating what the rakyat thinks and the BN leaders feel?

Some of the highlights of his remarks: 

“It is not very difficult to be a better government, to control corruption, to be more just, to improve the quality of education, public health, to stop the squandering of billions of dollars on your family members and cronies. That is quite easy,” he said

“The more challenging task is to change the course” of the country, he said, listing economic competitiveness, promoting a market economy, social justice and training of manpower as the main tasks.

“We are not here to improve. We are here to change for the better,”

“Either way, it is good for us,” he said. If Abdullah is ousted, “it will break UMNO. If Abdullah continues, it is also good for us because he is weak.”

Can anyone tell me is it possible to search for people like Musa Hitam or Tengku Rithaudeen today?

Laughter is the best medicine

Thomas Cup, EURO ‘08 or Olympics?

It is 2.10 am, managed to complete that tedious and thick injunction affidavit finally.  So thought of dropping some lines here while waiting for the live telecast of Barcelona vs Manchester Utd. (Latest:  Final score 0:0, luckily dosed off after 10 minutes of play.  MU awarded a penalty at the 2nd min but Ronaldo failed to execute it, nonetheless a fair result)

Ok, real men out there, jot this down into your diary, pda or organiser:  Thomas Cup at Jakarta on 16.5.08 >  EURO 2008 at Switz/Austria on 7.6.08  >  Beijing Olympics on 8.8.08.

Among the above, I am convinced that nothing is like the World Cup (football).  With games like air gun shooting, equestrian skills, cycling and fencing, what is the separation line between sport and hobby?  Who should get the medal on the podium for equestrian – the horse or the rider?  And with seemingly endless competitions in track & field, swimming and gymnastics, even in an Olympic year, what purpose does Olympic serve?

The World Cup, on the other hand, is a display of athleticism, strategy, and drama that people worldwide, rich and poor, can watch.  It is a sport virtually anyone can play at any time, anywhere.  People of all colours at every corner talk aboout it during the season.  Punters, bookies, bettors are also the happy ones.  So isn’t that World Cup is the ONE event that lifts up the spirit?  What about badminton?
