Gerakan Awakening

Finally, we heard a real Gerakan voice surface from under the table, wanting the party considering to pull out from the Barisan, claiming that its top leader party, UMNO chief - are only interested in one particular community. On the same day, one of our most respect politician, the former state exco-member of Penang, Dr Toh Kin Woon, step into PKR Action Office at Gagasama Garden and declared support of Anwar Ibrahim for his effort towards political revolution in the country. Dr Toh is one of the most senior, experience and reputable Gerakan member in Penang. Dato Tan Lian Hoe, current Deputy Information Minister, also the Wanita Chief of Gerakan, announced today in the Perak Gerakan assembly, the party should consider of pulling out from the BN coalition in view of its continual policies of racial characters.

Gerakan all of the sudden awake and recall their original ideology since its founding in 1968, a non-racial and non-religious approach.

They are in dilemma again recently when they have an different standings with their component chief, UMNO in the issues of Bar Council Forum and Proposal to open UiTM quota to non-ethnic group.

Now, Start Campaign

So, now the candidates are in place.

PKR - DS Anwar Inbrahim

BN - Ariff Shah

Independant - Hanafi bin Hamat

PKR and BN kick off their by-election campaign officially. The candidates are accompanied by their party leaders and supporters. As reported, PKR has obviously more turnouts than BN. This is unusual in the history of BN as they normally able to gather a huge crowd.

We could smell the wave of "CHANGE" continue......

Even though there are issues uncompromising among the coalitions parties in Pakatan Rakyat. The parties finally come to understanding of be together to face the challenge of Barisan Nasional and more significantly, a political revolution of the country.

Despite of strengthening the relationship between the component parties, UMNO choose to ignore their members again. UMNO is like an unawakened giant, continue to use the racial issues in his by-election campaign. They did not realise that this campaign even is not popular among the Malays. Worse thing is this has made their strong & supportive component parties such as MCA, Gerakan & MIC into dilemma and embarrassing. They face a lot difficulties when facing with non-Malays voters in convincing them to support them.

Hey, boys, we are in the Olympic now!

The whole Malaysians are concentrating for the Olympic game tonight between our Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan from China, chasing for our 4th Olympic Medal or more importantly, our first Gold Medal in Olympic Games since 1956.

The Malaysia players had been worked so hard in the international tournament arena to fight for the name of Malaysia. In Olympic, Razif and Jailani Sidek earned our first medal (bronze) in 1992, while Cheah Coon Keat and Yap Kim Hock made a little bit better for the Silver Medal in 1996. Rashid Sidek also took the bronze during 1996 in Atlanta. Now, the whole Malaysians come together tonight and hope we can earn our first Gold Medal tonight, with our own effort.

In the meantime, our boys got so excited demonstrating everywhere in Malaysia, protesting the proposal to open 10% quota of UiTM for other ethnics. Hey, boys & girls, our country is in Olympic now. We could not tell the China, USA or Indonesia and said,:" Hey, brothers, your country population is so huge, that is unfair, could you give 5 points handicap so that we are competing in the fair platform level?" I could tell you for sure, everyone will look and laugh at you.

So, boys, if you wish to continue be the CHAMPION in Kampung Pisang vs Kampung Nenas, please go ahead and we really do not have time to go with you.

Instead, the university should be proud and confident when they are chosen to open the quota. This means that the university is up to the international standard and able to compete with others.

Hey, boys and girls, as an undergraduates, please look globalisation and be confident, as the country is depend on you all in the near future.

We really has no time for you as we have to go to mamak store now to support our player in Beijing with our friends Ahamd & Muthusamy.

A real Malaysia Boleh tonight.

The Battle Begins

The battle begins!

Nomination on 16 Aug and Poll on 26 August.

PKR : Anwar Ibrahim BN: Still Searching

Pakatan Rakyat : PKR, PAS, DAP

Barisan Nasional : UMNO, others negligible or not significant

Manifesto PR : Perubahan, Harapan Baru untuk Malaysia, hari ini bentuk kerajan, esok harga petrol turun

Menisfesto UMNO : Wan Azizah tiada bertanggunjawab, Ketuanan Melayu kena diperlihara, pembangunan, stabliliti, DSAI ada kes sodomy.

MCA & Gerakan : We do not know what can they tell and promise the people

Perubahan dan Harapan Baru

"Perubahan" and "Harapan Baru" are the promises given by the Pakatan Rakyat leaders - Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Guan Eng and Hussam Musa during the Ceramah at Seberang Jaya, 3 August. "Saya agen Melayu, saya agen Cina, saya agen India, saya agen Rakyat" "Anak melayu anak saya, anak cina anak saya, anak India, Iban, Kadazan, semua anak saya." "Nak bantu melayu kena tindas cina, nak tolong cina pukul melayu, ini politik lama" "Bahasa Melayu bahasa kebangsaan, tetapi bahasa Inggeris bahasa antarabangsa, bahasa cina bahasa ekonomi di rantau ini, lebih banyak bahasa dipelajari, lebih baik untuk kami" "Jika mahu angkat melayu, kita kena juga angkat orang cina, india, iban, kadazan yang lemah." Could we trust them? my question is, do we have other choice? This remind us Datuk Oon Jaafar. 50 years ago, he suggested the UMNO membership be openned to all people of Malaya, irrespective of their ethnicity. Unfortunately, the ideas of non-comunnal party was rejected at that time. Is it time this 50's years agos dream can come true this time? We do not know. Could DSAI made the dream come true for us? We do not know. The only thing we know is UMNO, MCA and even Gerakan are not going to do that. So, do we have other choice?

Unfortunately, this is not graph of petrol price

Graph sometimes could tell a lot of story.

If this graph plot the examination of your lovely son and daughter, I think you are now will be very worry and looking up and down for the solutions to make this marks going up. You may look for more tuition for your children, to restrict them playing computer games too often, etc......

If this graph represents the yearly performance of the CEO in the corporate, I think he had been sacked by the board of directors. Needless to say, the business may be already closed down with this graph.

The graph only popular if it represents the petrol price or the inflation rate.

Somehow, our big gun still feel very comfortable and said that the up and down of the popularity is very normal for a politician, even though we could not see any "up" along the graph track.

Good luck to him.

Welcome Home, War Ko (Abang Anwar)

Welcome home, War Ko!

Finally , DSAI choose to come back to his home ground. His wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah resigned as Permatang Pauh MP on 31 July, allowing his husband to contest in the by-election to be held within 60 days.

I think Anwar made a right and smart choice of choosing to come back home.

Firstly, he started his political journey here in 1982 until 1998, when he was kick out by ex-PM and finally jailed for sodomy charges.

Secondly, he did not sacrifice any of his counterparts' political future in his party, even though they all more than willing to give up the seat to him. In the very beginning, Dr Wan Azizah had declared clearly that her participation is mainly to act for her husband. She will return him the seat when time is ready.

Thirdly, Anwar has the biggest supports here from all people, and it is believe that they will continue to support and welcome him to come home.

BN may have much to say about the resignation and created by-election from this husband and wife from now on. Whatever is it, he had been restricted for a long 10 years barred from the participating in the election. Let's everyone has a wider heart to allow him to contest and let the People to decide whether to let him continue to play role in Malaysia politics arena.

Let's have a fair battle.
