The 2nd autopsy of TBH

The exhumation of Teoh Beng Hock’s body for a second autopsy, ordered by the inquest into his recent death, has been completed-malaysia insiders.
The exhumation was a difficult but brave decision for TBH's family. Now the whole nation wish that this second autopsy could clear completely all doubts and controversial testimony from the experts.
This time we have forensic experts from 3 countries, Dr shahidan Md Noor from Malaysia, Dr Peter Venezis from UK and Dr Pornthip from Thailand.
We hope that the experts could carry out their works purely based on their professionalism and technical judgement regardless of other factors such as political agenda, races, religion, etc.
We hope that 3 of them could have a same and correct testimony and the testimony could contribute to a good assistance to find out the real reasons of the fallen of this young man.

Whose Teh Tarik is Sweeter?

More and more people said PR will not win over the federal government next election. The poll even said BN will return its more than two-third majority if the general election was held tomorrow.
So, what do you think?
As I said earlier, the new PM know how to play politics and he is not sitting there waiting the party to be taken over the 50 years dynasty in Malaysia.
The campaign and the branding tactics to make Najib as popular PM work for the last few months and bring back some supports from the ground.
However, as the advertisement in the television, it is exciting but the excitement could not last long. PM or the UMNO has to show the real reformation within the party, within the BN and within the government agencies.
Is he able to reform the evil warlords in the party, unreliable coalitions and rotten bureaucracy? And more importantly, he himself too involved in so many un-answered question marks?
We might blame PR for unable to keep the momentum and unable or slow to materialise some of the promises they made during the last elections. However, generally, they are comparatively a better choice to replace BN and they are still on the right tracks to a better Malaysia.
Probably, we put too much hopes at PR to make wonders in all sectors within the short period that unable to deliver by BN for the last 50 years. Most people tends to blame PR more when they made simple mistakes but people normally has higher tolerance when BN made blunders.
However, the results of the survey is a good alarm clock to PR. Pakatan shall take this opportunities to settle the internal differences and emphasis their similarity to show us that they are a capable alternative government that people could believe in.
Politic is about the matter of majority people. PR might have talked a lot on "high level politics" like corruption, policies, democracy, etc., but as a ruling government in several states, the PR government shall also show that they are capable to take care of people's daily life problems and their rice bowl.

Who cares about Communist?

The government said the 80 years old poor communist Chin Peng is our "imagine enemy".
However, when Hu Jintao, the 67 years old rich China Communist passed by Malaysia on his way to Singapore, the whole nation from top leaders to the people were so excited and line up under the hot sun to welcome him.
We gave him mega projects and he only promised us wishing that the Chinese from China will invest in Malaysia. Some even dreamed that he will give us Panda.
Enemy? Who cares? Enemy if he is poor and Friend if he is rich.
Communist? Who cares? The question is only is he a poor or rich communist?

Are we going to waste the Oppoturnity again?

Hadi again reiterated PAS remains in Pakatan.
But PAS has to really show that they are truly in Pakatan without any hesitation in their action.
The recent incidents such as beer sales, protesting of several concerts, unnecessary quarrels had made the PR supporters confused and disappointed.
These had made Tok Guru Nik Aziz mad and urged to have EGM to remove all those controversy's leaders.
While most of the PR lawmakers still dream that they will again retain their seats in next GE with the same tsunami sentimental, then these dreamers will waste the opportunity to make the 2-party system come true.
The recent post "Is the opposition wasting a historic opportunity?" from Tunku Abdul Aziz best warning to those dreamers to wake up and carry out their job properly.
And "民联如何逐步断送胜望?” (How PR gradually ruins its victory?) posted from Wong asking if PR could take over federal government if Najib resolve Parliament tomorrow. He doubted only the "die hard" PR supporters could believe it.
Najib government had strategically won back reasonably big shares of "center region" votes recently and stabilised East Malaysia politics.
He has an advantages as federal government that could use all resources and institutions and did not mind to copy some of the "good policies" that "only going to but not yet" implemented by Pakatan Rakyat. These made the "center region" voters start to hesitate where they should cast their votes.
I am sure the PR leaders know this more than us. It is a good move to apply as an official coalition but they have to act very fast in all levels to show the People that they are capable to rule as the government.

Single Stream School - The UMNO Final Destination

If you still focus on the MCA "scandal". Yes, it is a scandal. The crisis had turn to scandal. Bankrupt of dignity, trust, integrity, etc had made the people lost of respect for the party, the party that used to be the most popular among Chinese in Malaysia for the last 50 years.
You might still hope that the "Great Unity Plan" could quickly settle the party crisis and subsequently back to protect the Chinese community, then you will find all these hopes will be remained as a hope as we do for the past 50 years.
Of all the boring MCA news, the suggestion of single stream school was brought again by current UMNO leader DPM, supported by future UMNO leader, Mukhriz and the previous UMNO leader, ex-ex-PM.
What is this means? This is just showing that the dreams of UMNO leaders in the education were/are/will never change. They may give reason about unity, harmony, etc. but the intention is very clear.
They may promised to relocate or build some new vernacular schools, or given some subsidies, etc., etc. but the final destination will never change.
Even the PM promised the vernacular schools will remain unless the public demand it to be abolished. But, who is the public? The 2/3 MPs, more than 50% of population, or the survey from the Internet?
The suggestions to abolish and promises of not to abolish vernacular school are just a repetitive games. it happen every now and then for the past many years. They will do it again and again until one day you give up the rights.
Unity and harmony not only due to vernacular school, but the fairness and integrity. If the government fair to all, the poor, the incapable, the weak instead of purely based on races or religions, then all in the community will live harmony and unity.
