People have Rights but they are not always Right

From the recent Kampung Buah Pala and Chinese Temple issues.

People now know more about their rights and dare to fight for their rights to the higher authorities. This is a good and healthy development in the process of democracy.

In the same time, as Pro-People based government, all these fights of rights should be allowed and welcomed. Peoples should be allowed to demonstrate or expression their views, their stands and their proposals to solve certain issues faced by the People.

The government should be open minded, transparent and responsible to investigate to find the best & fair solution to solve the issues.

However, the people must understand that the solutions may not satisfy completely what they fight for as the decision authorities may consider other aspects that may not been taken care by this group of people.

More importantly, the responsible government should not against the rules by abusing their power of governance. The government is not allowed to overrule certain regulations that provide guidance in the public administration and stability of the society. If abuse of power happen, what is the different between this government and earlier government.

Not all solutions that would satisfy all parties. The People should not threaten with their votes to the government to fulfill their wishes, if these wishes are irrational or against the law.

The government instead should not abuse their power over the rules just to satisfy the people that will vote them.

The People have Rights but they are not always Right.

That is why we use our right to select a smart, responsible & transparent government to help the people to do the right things.

We will also no hesitate to change the government if they have no longer able to protect the interest of the People.

Is this what 1Malaysia means?

Now, the 1Malaysia also come with song.

Our 1Malaysia PM pleased the Chinese community in the dinner with them that the government would introduce purely merit-based public scholarships by next year, and also indicated his administration’s intent to completely do away with race-based quotas in more sectors.

However, in the other occasion, his deputy, DPM Muyiddin said UMNO will fight to the last drop of blood to protect Malay rights, the status of the Malay Rulers, Bahasa Melayu and Islam as these matters are enshrined in the Constitution.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said they would also fight to defend the rights of other races to ensure no one community would be oppressed.

This is a typical statement used by UMNO leaders all the while since long long time. But who is challenging or ever challenge their rights? This is just the imaginary enemy tactic used to strengthen their support, and in the mean time, comfort the other races.

And is this what the 1Malaysia means? sorry, we are still confused.

Chaos if change of government?

Chua Soi Lek said the federal government will be chaos or disorder if Pakatan Rakyat rules after next election.

What do you think?

Certainly, but it is not the Pakatan government that get chaos. Reversely, the BN going-out government is the one who would become chaos and disorder first.

Even before the next election, many of the BN followers from very bottom level to high level will start getting panic. Like what happen in Taiwan when the opposition took over, they will have to prepare a lot of shredder machines standby to eradicate all sensitive documents if need to.

They might have to engage all movers ready to move out everything overnight if they lose in the next election like what happen in Penang and Selangor.

The worst part is that many of them will be jobless immediately. There will be no government or government-link agencies or institutions that could slot them in like what they always do for the past 50 years.

Thinking of that, the consequences are serious......not to the People, but to BN benefit-followers.

Chua's thinking is that the Pakatan coalition parties will be fighting as there are discrepancies in power sharing when they win the election, showing that chua is happy with the current power distribution system in BN, which UMNO will make all the callings.

Chua also should be reminded that all threatens of chaos and disorder are not effective anymore to the People as the People are mature enough to accept the changes of government.

Probably, BN is not ready yet.

Do Not Underestimate BN?

Muyiddin warns Pakatan, do not underestimate BN.

“We know our position, we know our strength and, of course, we know our weaknesses. We are still the majority government so they might have their own ideas but it is okay,” he said.

I agreed with him, Pakatan must realise that BN not only knew their strength and weaknesses now, but more importantly, they are still the current government that control all the government agencies and institutions that they will fully utilise if the situation does not favour to them.

Look at what happen at Perak. Not only look, but Pakatan must learnt and beware the same things may happen again when BN lose the battle.

Pakatan need to aware that the current PM is Najib and not Pak Lah.

Furthermore, Pakatan gives an impression that they have more internal problems to solve and is still not convincing to act as in-waiting government. Pakatan need to work harder to show their competency and what are the changes they could bring Malaysia for a better future.

It is good the 3 major component parties to express all their differences and principles such as unity government issue now and let all these issues be debated and compromised to a common understandings before the next general election.

Many people still believe that things could only change better by replacement the current government. But Pakatan need to do their part.

Singing to Raise Fund

Chinese language education in Malaysia is a long sorrow history of "bloods & tears".

In conjunction of "Father's Day", we should take this opportunity to thank all our elderly generations of their consistent contributions, scarification and supports for the past 50 years in Chinese language learning.

Unfortunately, this gratitude does not include the BN government. The government never intend to recognise or support these school in terms of financial or resources. The only 'contribution' of BN government is they did not force to close the Chinese/Tamil school throughout their governance.

For the past 50 years, the Chinese community had no choice but to sell-support all needs of these schools. They organised charity dinners, fund-raising activities, donations, etc to continue the learning of Chinese language.

Sometimes, they invite star singers or VIPs like ADUNs, MPs, Chairman of so and so, etc to "contribute" their voice during the dinner to raise the charity fund.

In fact, we feel very sad and confuse of why we have to do all these silly fund raising things. If the government could recognise this learning right and agreed that all these learning would eventually contribute to the country buildings, they should have support all needs systematically like what they give to other national schools.

Some of you may feel happy when PM's wife intend to contribute her "first voice" in the charity dinner to raise fund for the primary school in KL.

But many of us feel more sad and insulted.

When MM Lee Meets Nik Aziz

When MM Lee meets Nik Aziz.

This may also means secular state believer meets Islamic state believer. You may expect a lot of collides and disagreements between the two believers and they may go two extreme directions and would never meet again.

However, you may unexpected that there are also many similarities among the two such as social security, anti-corruption, human rights, city cleanliness, fairness, etc that could bring both of them meet again.

The meeting between secular and Islamic state is just in time. What needs to do are just a sincere talks, compromise, tolerances, understandings between the coalition parties. More and more people are mature enough and ready to accept alternative.

When MM Lee Meets (unofficial) First Lady

I was just touched down from a 3-days trip in a small city in Philippines.

There are a few famous ladies appeared in recent political history of Philippines. Among them, you may have forgotten Corazon Aquino, the first President of Philippines and also in Asia, after overturned the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. You may also forgotten the name of current President, Arroyo.

However, you would not forget this most influential lady among them, Imelda Marcos, the First Lady of 10th President of Philippines, Ferdinand Marco, who ruled Philippines for 20 years from 1986 to 1986, until he was overturned by People Power Revolution in 1986 due to his dictatorship causing Philippines a huge national debt, corruption problem and people poverty.

The First Lady, Imelda Marcos, who famous with her shoe collection, also well known with her extravagant lifestyle in speding public money to support her lifestyle. She also involved in a lot of mega but meaningless projects. she had also played an influential part in his husband's political career.

During my visit to Philippines, one of the world's most respectable politician, MM Lee Kuan Yew visited Malaysia with his young ministers to interact with Malaysia's politicians and his old friends.

Surprisingly, instead of paying visit to one of his "old" friend, Tun Dr M, MM Lee had a special tea session with Rosmah, who has no official government positions.

MM Lee said he called on Rosmah because he had been told that she and her husband worked as a team and it was necessary for him to understand both members of the team.

UMNO-PAS Unity Government?

To unite PAS and UMNO is like to unite MU and Liverpool into one team. Do you think it works?

Certainly difficult. Both fans see each other as their life's target to beat. They have a loyalty supporters. They are fighting in the common battle fields. They are fighting to recruit the common group of supporters.

If they want to unite, they could carry out the first experiment by not contesting in the coming Manek Urai by-election. Do you think both supporters allow?

Satu Lagi Project Kerajaan BN ...........Runtuh

Of course, we can joke as no one is injured or dead in the incident. But imagine if the stadium was full of the People.

As reported, A huge chunk of the roof at the RM280 million Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium, Trengganu collapsed on 2 June 2009, just over a year after its completion. Except for damages to a car and four motorcycles parked outside the stadium, there were no casualties in the 9.30am incident at the venue of the 12th Malaysia Games.

What injured are just another burnt of RM280 million and lost of sport facilities by the People. Anyway, that is not a big issue as the government could allocate another RM280 million and again, another mega project by kerajaan BN.

The funny part is the problem was known before this happened last year as commented by MB. However, the defects are delayed unsolved and the stadium still open for public. Everybody just wait for the tragedy to happen or hope that the tragedy will not happen.

But the tragedy is "unfortunately" happened.

Then, the standard responses from all parties as previous incidents, upset, angry, setting up committee to investigate, shirk responsibilities, promise would not happen again, blame this blame that, not aware this not aware that until the People also forget about this, they also comfortably follow to forget.

In fact, the construction of one projects involved too many people from the deal maker, the offered authorities, the acceptance contractors, the men behind the scenes, the technicals, the non technicals, the main builders, the consultants, the specialists, the supervisions, the sub-contractors, the sub-sub-contractors, the sub-sub-sub contractors, the sub-sub-sub-sub contractors and so on.

So, who are the Godzilla?

Rakyat kesian kepada mu, YB MB

Kami merujuk kepada blog kamu yang penuh dengan rasa kecewa kerana tidak disambut baik oleh Rakyat Perak.

Kami kesian kepada mu.YB MB.

Kami tidak tahu kamu adalah "terlantik paksa" oleh pihak atasan atau "merebut mati-matian" untuk mendapatkan jawatan sebagai MB Perak separuh selepas BN berjaya mendapatkan 3 katak-katak politik.

Bagaimanapun, kamu mesti faham kamu akan menjadi MB yang mendapat sokongan kurang daripada 50% rakyat Perak.

Kami kesian kepada mu, YB MB.

Kamu rasa sedih kerana terdapat Rakyat yang tidak meyambut kamu dengan penuh kehormatan seperti MB-MB dahulu dan terpaksa menyamar tidak akan menyalahkan Rakyat tetapi mereka yang membenam benih kebencian.

Tetapi YB jangan lupa Rakyat dulu juga menyambut MB-MB BN dengan penuh kehormatan walaupun mereka mungkin penyokong parti lain.

Sekali lagi, YB yang berpelajaran tinggi sampai phD mesti faham mengapa ada Rakyat yang merasa lebih kecewa daripada YB MB.

Kami kesian kepada mu, YB MB.

Kamu mesti mendapati bukan sahaja Rakyat Perak yang manjauhi YB, tetapi juga rakan seperjuangan mu seperti PM 1-Malaysia, rakan-rakan seperjuangan sama parti dan komponen-komponen parti lain yang biarkan kamu seorang menghadapi rakyak-rakyat Perak yang rasa sangsi terhadap sah tak sah sebagai MB.

Kami kesian kepada mu, YB MB.

Tetapi yang buat YB kecewa sekali bukanlah rakyat Perak tetepi rakan-rakan seperjuangan yang tak mahu tolong tetapi mengharapkan jawatan-jawatan. Kamu terpaksa memberi jawatan kepada ahli-ahli komponen seperti MCA. Kamu juga terpaksa memberi jawatan kepada mereka yang tiada YB seperti Gerakan dan MIC.

Yang teruk sekali, kamu mungkin juga terpaksa mengosongkan jawatan-jawatan kepada 3 katak-katak politik yang paling dibenci oleh Rakyat Perak.

Kami kesian kepada mu, YB MB.

Rakyat kesian kepada mu kerana sampai sekarang kamu masih ingat Rakyat bodoh dan mudah diperdayai. Rakyat hanya ingin beri tahu YB -bukan sahaja BN bijak, Rakyat sekarang juga bijak-bijak belaka.
