“Blame it on the rain”. That was what Milli Vanilli said. And what happened to them? One dead and the other is struggling. In our political scenario, no one is dead and all the ‘rakyat’ are struggling. That’s our politics Milli Vanilli style! Where all the dancing and clowning around come from one person, Anwar!
Guan Eng blamed Tun Dr.M for this undoing. Trying desperately to turn things around, Tun Dr.M’s constitutional Amendment in 1993 was blamed for this entire ‘derhaka’ act. There’s nothing new.
Come one, that was 16 years ago. Why now? Why they didn’t anything back then? Or wait another 50 years to blame Tun Dr.M? The same act that they supported is the same act they blame for the circus act we see today.
So, what are they suggesting now? Should we go back to court and re-instate whatever power the Royal Houses had prior to 1993? Does PR have the balls to suggest that?
For the Rakyat’s sake, please stop this entire circus act and let’s get on with our lives. Stop the marching and venting out anger. Might as well concert this energy into finding solution to stop this economic crisis. The country gotta move on. Unfortunately we never move. We will always find reasons to instigate each other.
Last check, there were 80+ police reports against Karpal Singh. I don’t know what’s the point having so many reports against him. You point finger at them for being ‘derhaka’ and they returned the pleasure saying you started first.
It’s a ‘pleasure’ watching well learned and educated adults exchanging jabs and low blow. And mind you this free for all show have no parental guidance rating. Anyone can watch it and that including kids. What sort of image are they trying to show them? This is not leadership by example.
What we’ve got here is akin to law of the apes. Everyone ape each other. And soon we will see the younglings aping the old-ings. In the end we will turn into an Ape Nation.
Sometimes I think too much freedom of speech make people turn into ape. Try the zoo and you’ll hear the noisiest of them all are the apes. Despite being caged, they still have freedom of speech. Looking at this, I tend to agree with Darwin that “we’re one happy family!”
Maybe we should be like our neighbour, where everyone is mute. They concentrate at their work. Forget about their neighbour and strive for excellence. At the end of the day, results that matters.
What we’re having right now leads to nowhere. People lose confidence at both factions. If both parties listen to the ‘rakyat’ they’ll realize everyone is fed-up.
They’re fed-up with their elected leaders taking pot shot at each other when other pressing issues need their (leaders) tender loving care. When I give a thought about this, it’s part of Malaysia’s politics. If you don’t see this, it’s not our brand of politics.

Who wants to be a parliamentarian?
by InvisibleWriter001
Let’s have a reality show. Let’s have a show where the audiences will get to choose their parliamentarian via sms and internet voting. Let’s have Paula, Simon, Randy and the beautiful Kara as the judges.
I see this as competition as the best solution in getting new MPs. We will get better MPs, at least better than our regular not-so-funny circus clowns. What we currently have here are clowns who can’t communicate or articulate. What they’re capable of doing best is defecate on our head.
And these despicable acts have to end. And mind you, the feces stink to high heaven!
Let’s go back to this reality show. How are we going to conduct or organize this show? Do we need a beautiful or handsome host? I believe in equality. So, let’s have a transgender host. If we can’t find one here, we can always import from Thailand.
Once we have the host and the judges in place, we need to agree on the selection criteria. Who can we allow to participate in this reality show. Should we follow the American Idol path where only those below 30 can participate or follow the AF sell-out path where almost anyone can take part?
Ok, we are neither gonna follow American Idol nor AF. We’re gonna make our own rules. First and foremost the candidates must be able to sing. This is will come in handy whenever they were invited to contribute a song during charity concert.
Next criteria, they must be able to act. This is important whenever they need to relay or convey messages or speeches with negative connotation, with poker face. No emotions or whatsoever on their faces.
The following criteria is the ability to duck without warning. Over the last few months we’ve already seen 2 cases of flying shoes. And producers believe the trend will arrive on our shore very soon.
So, it’s important to have the ability to duck. No protective headgear will be provided or allowed in this show.
Next is the ability to tell lies in a saintly manner. Saints don’t lie and politicians lie to the bone. So how do you turn politicians into an angel. Easy, put an orphaned baby on their lap and call them ‘Srikandi Gaza’.
The ability to run is equally important as the rest. The candidates or contestants must be able to dash 100 meters in less than 9.5 seconds. This skill is useful to escape from problems, angry voters, Ah Long and also the 1st wife. Please remember, the ability to carry your leader’s balls is considered a plus point.
One must also be able to empathize and sympathize on cue. The ability to shed tears on cue is highly commendable. For this act alone, you’ll be awarded with Anugerah Pelakon Harapan from Festival Filem Malaysia.
What about criteria that are not needed? There are various reasons that will disqualify a contestant. First, is the look. Only the good looking ones are taken. The ugly ones will be taken to Pulau Jerejak.
Those with voices equivalent to an ants will also be rejected. We need someone with a vocal cord as powerful as someone who have just swallowed a microphone. The said person must be loud enough that he’ll be able to wake up a sleeping bear with a single call.
The contestants must also have the ability to move in slow motion. This talent will benefits them whenever they need to act in slowly and in difficult situation. It’ll come in handy whenever they need to give out land deeds.
Last but not least, the said person must be able to ‘kiss ass’ without feeling guilty. The contestants will be required to do this kissing act live on National TV.
Whoever the winner is has a huge burden to carry on their shoulder. This is a position where everyone would like to be in but don’t want to take the responsibility. Unfortunately it comes as a package. Take both or leave it.

WHEN THE LION ROARS, IT SOUNDED LIKE A PUSSY WHINING
by INVISIBLEWRITER001
Sometimes I wonder whether this guy is lonely. He accused of being alone in his fight against Hudud Law.
None of his compatriot in the party is up in arms with him. Not even Kit Siang or Guan Eng.
But then again, he said he has support from the grassroots.
This statement about support from the grassroots is it true or mere rhetoric?
If he has the support than the leaders who are not with him in his fights against Hudud Law should leave the party.
And if he’s truly alone in this fight, then I suggest he should take his ‘war’ somewhere else because party members are not with him.
Political party is about group effort. You can’t fight alone.
Support from everyone including party members and the rakyat is crucially important.
They must believe in what you’re doing.
If you’re a lone ranger fighting a lone war it meant no one is listening to you. And it’s bad enough
when you’re the President of the party.
And today he roared again, or should I say whined again. This time he blamed Anwar Ibrahim for the current situation in Perak.
If Anwar hasn’t been too enthusiastic with his party hopping idea all this would never have happened.
I guess it’s a bit too late to start blaming others. Yes, I agree all this is Anwar Ibrahim’s fault.
Like in football, the attacking team lost on the counter attack by its opponent.
The Lion of Jelutong was against party hopping since the beginning.
But being in the same ‘team’ puts him in cohorts with Anwar Ibrahim, a reluctant one.
I thought he is a man of principle. Someone like that should quit the party if he thinks the party no longer listens to him. Or maybe he’s a sulking old man, expecting someone to ‘pujuk’ him?
I think he’s a bit over reacting. He should’ve reacted and voiced out he concern more vocally earlier.
Whatever his concern was, at least he was honest in saying all this is Anwar’s undoing.
However, all this whining and letting steam go sounded worst than the man he once criticized, Tun Dr Mahathir.
Whatever it is, no point crying over spilled milk.
Just get down on the floor and lick it!

Politician Needed?
Anyone--doctors, carpenters, professional wrestlers--can enter politics.
Once they do, however, they're no longer operating as doctors, carpenters, or professional wrestlers.
They're politicians--which, as they say in football, is a skill position in itself.
Politicians are politicians
Let's face it: The people who want you to vote for them because they're not politicians are, in fact, politicians.
If you elect them, you'd better hope they're good politicians, not good carpenters, surgeons, or businessmen.
Call a surgeon if your leg needs amputating, but for political work, get a politician.
Not just any politician though.
There are discriminations to be made.
Criticize particular politicians? Good idea. They're not all competent or honest.
Is every single politician incompetent and dishonest? I doubt it, but if so, let's blast each and every one.
That's still different from lambasting politicians as a species.
If every single doctor were incompetent, we wouldn't say, "Let's do away with doctoring."
We'd say, "Let's see why doctors are no good and fix things so we have better ones."
Can we fix things so we have better politicians?
If politicians are like the weather, it's pointless to ask.
You can only grumble about nature, not change it.
If we cast off the fatalism, however, we can start to ask, for example, how campaigning has overtaken the actual work of politicians, how money has overtaken actual campaigning, how the complexity of our society has driven up the expense of gaining office, how such costs have affected what politicians do in office, how the media's growing reliance on entertainment as a central product has affected political coverage, how public tolerance of unhealthy campaign practices has exacerbated all of the above--and the list goes on.
It's all worth asking if we start with the premise that there is a job in society for which politicians are the right tool.
And if there is, then we can look for ways to improve that tool so it will do the job better.
Once they do, however, they're no longer operating as doctors, carpenters, or professional wrestlers.
They're politicians--which, as they say in football, is a skill position in itself.

Why Politics Suck
By Mumia Abu-Jamal
When I think of politics, I think of a politician -- an odd one, I'll admit -- and not even an American.
I think of Charles De Gaulle -- the tall, big-nosed French general who became the first president of France's Fifth Republic.
Why him? Well, in truth, he barely nudges out the great political scientist, Machiavelli; but both gave us deep insights into the world of politics.
De Gaulle though, gave what seems like the best definition of a politician when he said: "In order to become the master, the politician poses as a servant." (He also wrote in a letter, the great line: "Politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians").
In those two, brief lines, De Gaulle provides both the problem and the solution; the problems are the politicians; the solution -- not the politicians.
I think, for millions of folks, there's the very deep feeling, maybe even the knowledge, that politicians will say virtually anything to get elected, and, once in, proceed to betray those who voted for them.
I'm convinced that it is precisely that inner knowledge -- that gut knowledge -- that keeps millions -- perhaps 50+ million Americans -- from voting at all. They know better.
They know that politicians are the tools of the wealthy -- and that they spit on the poor and impoverished.
Remember those so-called 'debates?' (OK -- I use the term loosely). But wasn't it interesting that the poor, or working people, were never mentioned?
How their concerns didn't even merit a mere moment during a 2-hour debate?
That's because they are invisible to the rich guys who run, or are run in, the political system. It really doesn't matter if we discuss Republicans or Democrats. It's the same.
Do you know how many folks contribute to election campaigns?
Just 4%. 4%! Most political dough comes from corporate coffers. So, who do you think they serve? That's where the $4 billion bucks came from to pay for the U.S. presidential campaign in 2004.
So -- the political system sucks. But, guess what? It was designed to suck (at least for people like us).
The rich men who wrote the Constitution hated and feared the common people, whom they called 'the Mob'; and, not surprisingly, the common folks hated them back.
Politics sucks today because it is, for most folks, a burden -- and a lie.
It promises, every few years, to change things for the better, yet the only 'change' one gets, if from bad to worse. Thus, millions of people no longer play the game.
It sucks because people learn, even when they participate, that it's not a fair game.
Votes are 'lost'; votes are stolen; voters are intimidated, and the politicians are bought and sold like stocks on Wall Street.
It sucks because people feel trapped, and want to be free.

How About Najib's 4th Floor?
I feel rather weird about the control or power that is said to be possessed by the officers on the 4th Floor - the office that is said to be really close to the Prime Minister's workspace.
But, when we think again, there's no smoke without fire, and with all the happenings recently, there should be a truth behind all the sensational things people talked about.
Enough said, I believe everyone in Malaysia knew already who are the people of the 4th Floor, and how great they are planning and landscaping our Malaysia's politics.
Just like what Tun Dr. Mahathir had always harping and worrying on the above matter, our feelings are mutual!
Will it be the same when Datuk Seri Najib take over the prime minister's reign soon? The public knows that those who work directly for the PM of course, a one of a kind, an ivy league members.
Certainly because, they act as an advisor, a think tank for their boss. There's no way a 2nd grader in SPM, with P7 in maths can be THAT near to this group. To be a photocopy assisstant maybe...(that is somehow related to any of those officers :P)
But, history has proven that not all those creme de la creme at the PM's office are really what they are, especially when they have the personal agenda to roll everything into their pocket, as long as they have the opportunity to do so.
We just can't imagine what will happen to our beloved country if this thing remains on and on...
Actually, I've "worked my charm" into the Deputy PM's office,busybodying around, whether is there any similar virusses have spreading into DPM's office or not.
Of course, I have to be extra "charming" and discreet to know the answers, or else, I will be in deep trouble too.
Fortunately, so far, at the DPM's office, the scenario is different.
Most officers are the young ones, high-spirited lads,working and feeling secure as what they are right now..
I am crossing my fingers for those young lads to remain the same and stick to their honour coz, Che Det always said: Malay forgets easily...
So, I really hope for this phenomenon of the 4th floor will not repeating itself when Datuk Seri Najib took over as the Prime Minister.
If this is still happening, I've no doubt, those at the 4th Floor sooner or later, will not be at the GROUND FLOOR, but, at the BASEMENT...he...he...

Signs That Pak Lah Never Wants To Leave His Office...
1)Pak Lah has yet to visit ASEAN countries as what had been done by his predecessors before they leave the PM's office.
2)Pak Lah supposedly had already done the friendly and farewell visit to China, India,Britain and US.
3)His office has not informed or set any official date for Istana Negara, for Najib to sworn in as the new PM.
4)Pak Lah has not set any date for the final Cabinet Meeting.(This is essential to ensure that all ministers are not away visiting foreign countries, or have any event. So, they will be available to attend)
5)Pak Lah has not visited any Sultan in any state for paying homage and as a sign of saying thank you
6)At the Ministry of Defence, i has been informed that Pak Lah still hasn't confirmed any farewell date.
Generally, records in Putrajaya show that Pak Lah has not done anything that any retiring Prime Minister should do.For Fact #6, it's a custom for a Minister of Defence to undergone a farewell ceremony according to the military and civil tradition.
Also, before the abovesaid ceremony, it's a norm for the Minister of Defense to visit at least a Royal Air Force Base and a Royal Navy Base, usually in Lumut.After visiting all those places, then the official farewell ceremony will be held, at the Ministry of Defence.
When Najib was transferred to Ministry of Defence, he did not have the chance to visit all those bases because the transfer was so sudden. Still, Najib did grace the official farewell ceremony at the Ministry of Defence.
Record also shows that Pak Lah has not set or confirmed any dates for above significant agenda.
With only 2 months before the so called power transition after the UMNO General Assembly this March, the failure of Pak Lah and his associates to set any dates for any events above is a clear sign of his intention of NOT letting go his sought after seat.
Pak Lah surely will not have all the times on this earth to do all those things if he still did not budge an inch.
Pak Lah's (ill?) intention of not realizing his promise to Najib is seen as worrying, as once mentioned by the former prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed.
The clock is still ticking...
