Perhaps Re-Elections of the Disputed Contituencies are the Best Solution
Heard and loud that Pakatan Rakyat, PR is to file at least 35 election petitions to challenge the just concluded 13th GE results and BN even more, at least 50 petitions.
PR leaders and the majority of the 51% of the voters who have voted PR have accused BN with the collaboration of the EC of 'dirty work' and has stolen away the final results of the GE. The PR are engaging in rallies all over the country to drum their case. The latest planned rally would be a mammoth and major one to be held in June 16 in the Federal Capital KL.
The government which is accused as illegal by the other side retaliated by arresting and has charged several dominant leaders of the opposition for organising the rallies or participating in forums that run down the disputed government.
The government which is accused as illegal by the other side retaliated by arresting and has charged several dominant leaders of the opposition for organising the rallies or participating in forums that run down the disputed government.
BN on the other hand and for the first time has vowed to file more than 50 election petitions. Prior to the 13th GE, we have gone through twelve elections and I could not remember once that BN has filed a petition to challenge the results of each of the election. Astonishing, for the first time it has planned to file such a big number of petitions.
This means both sides of the divided are not satisfied with the results, perhaps they are referring to the conduct of the election by the EC. When both sides are not satisfied and complaining, surely they must be some substantive truth to their accusations.
I think the best way to settle the situation for once and for all is to let all the petitions to go through and to let reelections to run at the respective constituencies. Hopefully this will satisfy everybody and to stop the accusation of stolen GE results. The reelection will also enable the affected voters in the respective constituencies another chance to show their genuine preference of the party they want to lead them in their area and to occupy the coveted Putrajaya.
Hopefully election judges who are assigned to hear all these petitions to decisively put a final verdict that reelection is the only solution to the present predicament.

At Last A 'Banana' Chinese Has Spoken Out
Glad that Datuk Mary Yap, the new Deputy Education Minister has spoken out.
What's the different when one who is Chinese educated and got a credit in Bahasa Cina paper at SPM level and based mainly on that, beside others criteria, is promoted to be the headmaster of a Chinese school (kononnya bersemangat Cina dan akan menjaga 'kesucian' sekolah Cina). However this person send all his children to a Sekolah Kebangsaan.
Now, compare to a 'banana' Chinese who is not eligible to be promoted to such a school just because he or she a 'banana' Chinese, so seen to be less Chinese (kononnya Cina murtad yang akan menajiskan sekolah Cina). However the 'banana' Chinese send all his/her children to Chinese schools. So, what Chinese spirit the Chinese bigots are talking about? Within the same kind the Chinese bigots apply differentiation. Perhaps these solely Chinese speaking bigots have inferior complex, because I just do not believe they have the superiority compare to 'banana' Chinese where the 'banana' Chinese can speak well in several languages and mixed well internationally, beside surely these 'banana' Chinese can speak and understand Chinese, at least their own Chinese dialects.

Mary Yap: Tak jadi masalah tak pandai bahasa Cina
Timbalan Menteri Pelajaran dan Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Mary Yap Kain Ching berkata tidak menjadi masalah baginya untuk menangani isu pendidikan Cina walaupun beliau tidak fasih berbahasa Cina.
Menurutnya, walaupun tidak pandai membaca dan bertutur dalam bahasa tersebut, beliau kini dibantu seorang pegawai yang akan memberitahu apa yang dilaporkan dalam akhbar bahasa Cina.
"Itu bukan isu. Saya pandai berbahasa Melayu dan Inggeris. Saya boleh baca dan bercakap dalam dua bahasa ini.
"Saya juga ada pegawai untuk bantu saya yang akan beri nasihat dan bacakan surat khabar Cina dan beritahu apa yang dilaporkan.
"Ada ramai pemimpin di dunia yang tak fasih berbahasa Inggeris tapi disebabkan ada pasukan yang kuat, mereka boleh bimbing negara dengan begitu berkesan," katanya.
MP Tawau itu berpendapat, beliau tidak mewakili kaum Cina tetapi wakil kepada rakyat Malaysia. "Saya telah bekerja di bawah kementerian pelajaran hampir 36 tahun dan telah berjumpa dengan pelbagai kaum, guru, pengetua dan sebagainya.
"Saya tak lihat diri sebagai mewakili orang Cina tetapi sebagai orang Malaysia. Inilah unjuran daripada 1Malaysia. Tapi bila cakap mengenai pendidikan Cina, ia merupakan sebahagian daripada tugas saya untuk menyelesaikannya," katanya lagi.

Apa Lu Mau Lagi...?
....seorang yang mempunyai mentaliti pendatang atau disebut dalam bahasa Inggeris sebagai ‘migrant mentality’ kerana sikapnya yang tamak dan haloba yang keterlaluan. Hendak memerintah mesti berdekad-dekad lamanya. Hendak mendapat laba sampai tidak tentu sempadannya. Kalau berkuasa hendak lama-lama, wang ringgit hendak berkoyan-koyan dan kalau boleh semuanya hendak ditinggalkan kepada keturunannya semua harta dan kuasa yang setinggi gunung. Itu semua adalah sikap orang yang mempunyai mentaliti ‘migrant’ tadi.
Budaya dan sikap itu telah tertanam begitu dalam pemikiran dan kepercayaan pimpinan hari ini dan ia tidak dapat diatasi lagi. Ia hanya boleh diatasi dengan memulakan negara baru dengan kumpulan pimpinan yang baru keseluruhan dalam parti itu.
Kalaulah benar begitu, kenapa orang mempunyai migrant mentality ini mempersoalkan kumpulan migrant lain, apa lu mau lagi. Pada hal apa yang dia sendiri mahu lagi itu lebih melampau (worst) dari kumpulan migrant yang gigih berusaha dengan keringat sendiri tetapi dijadikan sebagai convinent target atau punching bag untuk menutup niat sejahat-jahatnya sendiri.

Beza Cinta Tanah Air & Cinta Penguasa
Tiada pihak yang boleh memaksa orang lain mencintai parti politik yang
berkuasa dalam watannya atas nama semangat patriotisme. Tiada siapa pula
yang boleh ditakrifkan sebagai tidak patriotik hanya kerana dia tidak
menyokong kerajaan tertentu yang berkuasa atas negeri atau negaranya.
Kuasa politik boleh datang dan pergi. Boleh bertukar ganti.
Orang Kelantan yang tidak suka PAS bukan
bererti tidak sayang Kelantan. Orang Penang yang tidak suka DAP bukan
bererti tidak sayang Pulau Pinang. Orang Selangor yang tidak suka PKR
bukan bererti tidak sayang Selangor. Orang Malaysia yang tidak suka BN
bukan bererti tidak cintakan negara.
Mungkin yang rakyat tidak suka itu ialah penyelewengan kuasa dan
penyalahgunaan harta rakyat oleh mereka yang memegang tampuk-tampuk
tersebut. Namun, sayang negeri dan negara tetap kekal.
Jadi
mereka jangan cuba menafikan kecintaan seseorang kepada tanahair; negeri
ataupun negara mereka hanya kerana tidak mendapat sokongan politik yang
idamkan.

Not a Bit Changed ... Arrogance As Ever...!!
The first thing that Home Minister Zahid Hamidi did on taking office was to tell Malaysians who are not happy with Malaysia’s political system to leave Malaysia and go live in another country.
If Zahid were a British Cabinet Minister, by now he would have been asked to resign. In the UK you are forced to resign for an even lesser offense than that. And he would have had to resign, no two ways about it.
Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak should, at the very least, demand that Zahid publicly apologise to Malaysians. Forcing him to resign is the correct thing to do but at the very least he must be made to apologise.
Is Najib prepared to demonstrate to Malaysians that he is really serious about his transformation program by doing this?
The ball is now in Najib’s court. I would suggest Najib walk the talk and do something about this rather than pretend that this never happened.
And what was it that Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said? Ah, yes, Malaysia is a country with a first world infrastructure but a third world mentality. How true!

Carbon Dioxide on the Rise...!! But Politicians Here Still Fighting to Maintain Their Power and Wealth
The Keeling Curve,
a daily record of atmospheric carbon dioxide, has been running
continuously since March 1958, when a carbon dioxide monitor was
installed at Mauna Loa in Hawaii. On the first day, the observatory
measured a carbon dioxide concentration of 313 parts per million (ppm).
The number means there were 313 molecules of carbon dioxide in the air
per every million air molecules.
Now, the Keeling Curve has reached 400 ppm for the first time in human
history, with a new measure of 400.03 ppm. The data are preliminary,
pending quality control checks, according to the National Oceaninc and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The rollover from 399 won't make an appreciable difference in climate
by itself, but the continuing rise in greenhouse gas concentration is
already doing so, climate scientists say.
A concentration of 400 ppm is a new high-water mark, of course, and
more than anything else, has symbolic significance,
Upward creep
Each year, the Keeling Curve shows an increase in carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere which peaks in May. The number then drops, reaching a
minimum in October. This maximum-minimum pattern, repeated seasonally,
reveals how trees withdraw carbon dioxide from the air in summer to grow
and then release it through dead, decaying leaves and wood in the
winter.
But humans release carbon dioxide into the air, too, by burning fossil fuels.
This activity has caused the Keeling Curve to creep ever upward since
1958: The lows get a little higher each year, as do the highs. It is a reminder of just how uncontrolled this dangerous experiment
we're playing with the planet really is..
What 400 ppm means
In the 1,000 years before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th
century, atmospheric carbon dioxide held steady at around 270 to 280
parts per million.
Scientists believe that the most recent period with a 400 ppm level of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was the Pliocene, between five million
and three million years ago, according to the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, which keeps track of the Keeling Curve.
It was a different world. Global average temperatures were between 5.4
and 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit (3 to 4 degrees Celsius) higher than today,
and sea level was as much as 131 feet (40 meters) higher in some places.
Even the least-affected regions saw sea-level rises 16 feet (5 meters) higher than today's.
A major difference, though, is the speed at which carbon dioxide is
rising today. Typically, the Keeling Curve shows increases of 2 to 2.5
ppm a year, Mann said. In the 1950s and 1960s, carbon dioxide increased
by less than 1 ppm each year, according to Scripps Institution of
Oceanography.
We're on course for more than 450 ppm in a matter of decades if we don't get our fossil fuel emissions under control quite soon.

Dear Mr. PM, Let the Competent and Professional Non-Politician Chinese to be in Your Cabinet
Dear Mr. PM,
Most Chinese do not mind if there is no Chinese representative in your cabinet. Most Chinese view that even with Chinese representation but they just act like lackeys, it does not mean anything to them. Most Chinese can accept Malay leadership who are competence, professional and act fairly to all citizen. The Chinese politicians in the cabinets thus far did not perform up to the satisfaction in the eyes of the Chinese community but more for their own selfish gains, consolidating for party position and reputation.
MCA, Gerakan and SUPP have been abandoned and thrown out in the recently just concluded 13th GE. The leaders of MCA have declared they would not take up any post in your new government due to their poor performance in the GE.
If Mr. PM insists of some representation from the Chinese community as what been opined by a few of your party leaders, then how about and why not select some non-politician Chinese who are competent and professional in their field. Since these non-politicians Chinese are not bounded to party position and interest, hopefully they can give their full commitment to their cabinet duty to help you to spur the development of the people and the country as what they are doing in their corporate duty.

Cina Malaysia - Undi Yang Itu Dikata Bodoh, Undi Yang Ini Dikata Tak Mengenang Budi...Apa Lu Mau Lagi..!
Saya teringat dalam satu artikel oleh Raja Petra Kamaruddin yang ditulis di dalam blognya Malaysia Today yang mana beliau menemplak orang Cina Malaysia yang mengatakan orang Melayu tidak bersama melakukan UBAH. Menurut beliau orang Melayu sudah pun melakukan UBAH seawal PRU10 1999 apabila orang Melayu telah bangun menolak BN pada ketika itu, iaitu kesan dari pemecatan Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim dari jawatan Timbalan PM dan dikenakan hukuman penjara. Tetapi BN telah diselamatkan oleh orang Cina apabila mereka telah beramai-ramai keluar mengundi BN dalam PRU10, 1999 sehingga mendapat kemenangan 2/3 kerusi dalam Parlimen Malaysia. Kerana itu juga ramai pemimpin kanan pembangkang seperti Karpal Singh dan Lim Kit Siang telah ditewaskan oleh calon-calon muka baru BN.
Menurut Raja Petra, sekiranya orang Cina pada ketika itu bersama-sama dengan orang Melayu melakukan UBAH dan tidak mengundi BN sebaliknya mengundi parti-parti pembangkang nescaya kerajaan BN pada ketika itu sepatutnya sudah tumbang. Tetapi oleh kerana ketakutan dan kebodohan orang Cina, BN terselamat dan dapat terus memerintah dengan angkuh dan bermaharajalela. Sebaliknya orang Cina telah dimaki sebagai komunis, disuruh balik Tongsan, digertak dengan retorik sehingga dihunuskan senjata dan lain-lain apabila mereka cuba hendak menuntut sesuatu perkara dari kerajaan BN. Maka seperti kata Raja Petra, padan muka orang Cina kerana telah mengundi BN.

Kini dalam PRU13, 2013, orang Cina sekali lagi dipersalahkan apabila mereka bersama dengan rakyat Malaysia yang lain melakukan UBAH menolak BN sehingga digelarkan Tsunami Cina dan dimaki sebagai tidak mengenang budi dan berbagai makian lain yang tidak munasabah... Setiap kali dalam PRU apabila orang Cina mengundi BN, mereka dikata takut dan bodoh. Bila tidak memihak kepada BN mereka akan ditakutkan dengan tanggal Mei 13 dan ditemplak dengan persoalan... Apa Cina Mahu Lagi..!
Oh... Chinese Malaysian... till when you'll be the punching beg of these power crazy, corrupted and greedy politicians...who themselves have problems? What MCA, Gerakan and SUPP have done about this... and don't they know this is one of the main reasons these lackeys were abandoned and thrown out...!

Awal-awal lagi saya sudah komen dalam Free Malaysia Today dan ramai juga sependapat demikian termasuk Timbalan Presiden PKR, iaitu Semenyih perlu diletakkan seorang calon Melayu, tetapi calon penumbuk tangan itu degil dan angkuh dengan kekuatannya, tak mahu bertolak ansur dan menerima realiti suasana di Semenyih....
Kalau dijumlah undi kedua-dua orang itu, bukahkah sudah memang lebih kurang 1,000 undi...
Berjuang demi untuk rakyat konon.... sakit hati dan fed up dengan orang macam ini...
Sekarang apa dapat...abuk pun tarak.... kalau dulu dia mengalah atau bertolak ansur... mungkin dia boleh dilantik sebagai Ahli Majlis atau mana-mana tugas dalam kerajaan Selangor yang lebih kuat sekarang..

And in this election it seems that as it has become harder to buy up
their own supporters for the party, they have started to pay poor
immigrant cheer leaders to wear their T-shirts and wave their flags.
Meanwhile, the real ?? troopers are concentrating on getting their money out of town.
The level of graft of by the ruling elite, which is currently pouring its money out of KL and into foreign safe havens has been causing even the banking community to feel sickened at the sight.
And if that means shipping in tens of thousands of foreign illegal voters and putting tens of thousands more into ?? T-shirts all to con an election from his own people, then it seems he is prepared to try and carry it off.

Azlan Mohd Lazim now claims his son was sodomised
PETALING
JAYA: In a 360 degree turn, sodomy victim Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s father
admitted that his son was in fact sodomised by Opposition Leader and
PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Contrary to his earlier claim, he now said that the sodomy charge was not a political conspiracy as alleged by Anwar.
In March, Azlan, 60, dismissed Saiful’s sodomy allegation as a fabrication and joined PKR. At the press conference, he also announced his resignation from PKR.
Meanwhile, PKR’s Sungai Petani parliamentary seat aspirant, Johari
Abdul claimed that Azlan had called him numerous times in the past two
weeks, saying that he was under intense pressure. “I reminded Azlan that it was he who contacted me to rebut Saiful’s
claims. I also told him that if you can’t handle the heat, then good
luck to you,” he said.

You have been ridiculed left right front and behind,
You have been humiliated all this while just for nothing but their insecurity,
You have been questioned of your rights as a member of the people of this land,
You have been differentiated by your colour, your language and the God you are praying to,
In short your dignity and pride been questioned and robbed,
But some of you still let yourself to be humiliated and ridiculed,
Where's your dignity and pride...
Perhaps this people just for money can sell of their dignity and pride...
But the whole community be looked upon as such by the act of these few stupid fellows..
When this going to end....
Perhaps this time is the best opportunity to make the change,
Will you do that for the dignity and pride of your children, community andnation...

The Iron Lady Has Gone - R.I.P
Margaret Thatcher Dead: Former British Prime Minister Was 87
A member of Britain's Conservative party, Thatcher served as prime
minister from 1979 to 1990, and retired from public life in 1992. She
became a Conservative MP in 1959, served as an education secretary, and
became the leader of her party in 1975.
A political icon of the 1980s, Thatcher worked closely with President Ronald Reagan's
administration, led the UK during its war with Argentina over the
Falkland Islands in 1982, and helped privatized many state-owned
industries during her reign. Named one of the 100 Most Important People
of the 20th Century by TIME magazine, she was memorably portrayed by Meryl Streep, who won another Academy Award, in 2011's Iron Lady.
Reacting to the news, Buckingham Palace tells Us: "The Queen was sad to hear the news of the Baroness Thatcher. Her Majesty will be sending a private message of sympathy to the family." Her husband of 52 years, businessman Sir Denis Thatcher, passed away in 2003.
