Umno/BN culture - You must be grateful for what we give you.

The quality of the umno leaders is really getting from bad to worse. The right hand really does not know what the left hand is doing. They have no qualms when they criticise the oppositions, but when it is the other way round,  they cry like babies. Take for the instance the case of the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Noh Omar. He said the opposition's action of linking him to the production of a video clip that insulted hudud law was evil, to destroy his credibility as a leader in Selangor.

He further added that the wild accusation was a conspiracy by the opposition to link him to sensitive issues and that "They (opposition) have no more issues, so they resort to making personal attacks against (Barisan Nasional) leaders, especially me in Selangor, to tarnish my credibility so that the people will lose trust in my leadership."

Aren't those exactly the kind of accusations and statements the umnos have been using against the Oppositions? 

Then we have the Minister who not only turned his back on a Chief Minister but also became a coward for not going on the submarine dive. The perception he has given to the public is that he doesn't even trust his own submarine to surface again. Hence he chickened out.

With one breath, he said "the various aids given out were merely to carry out the government's responsibility to assist the poor besides appreciating their contributions towards the government and to fulfill the promise, 'people first', pledged by the present administration."

In the next breath, he "expressed disappointment with the attitude of the opposition leaders who called on their supporters to accept whatever aid dished out by the government but did not teach them to be grateful for the assistance"

I suppose he can be excused for not realisng his contradictory statements due to his poor standard of the English language.

First he said the aid given out was the government's responsibility, and "we give out regardless of the (recipients') party, " Very true, as what is given out is from our hard earned money, and why should we be grateful for that?,  and why should we vote umno/bn into power again, especially after the exposure of tons of evidences of corruption (Toyol mansion), misuse of funds (Cowgate scandal), injustice (TBH), police brutality (Bersih 2 protest), and many, many more,  Truly, the bn/umno culture of forced gratitude is an issue which all Malaysians should be wary of.

Not only has umno taken the lead, MCA has also followed this trend. The Negri Sembilan MCA chief, Dr. Yeow Chai Thiam has also brought shame not only to the Chinese culture but also the medical profession. He chastised MP Teo Nie Ching for being late in showing  gratitude to the MCA for helping her critically ill mother. So it has now come down to this. If you receive anything from bn/umno, you better find ways and means to show your gratitude.

Warlord and Godfather

What is this bickering over the words "warlord" and "Godfather" between the DAP chief Karpal Singh and the Penang Deputy chief, Ramasamy? Oooops! did I say 'chief'. Far from being 'chiefs', they are behaving more like 'cheapskate' laughing stocks. The umnos and its BN counterparts must be laughing all the way to the toilets to rid themselves of their diarrhoea attacks. Sheeeesh! what kind of leaders are these people? and they want to take over Putrajaya. Karpal, where is your magnanimity as a leader? True "the party would not be around without the sacrifices of such leaders, and leaders of today won't be leaders without the veterans ." Do you understand the saying that the moment you say you are humble, you are no more humble? So it is the same with your statement. The moment you brag about your sacrifices, you are no longer a true leader. And how can you insult a Deputy CM by asking "who is this Ramasamy?"
And Ramasamy, where is your respect for your leaders, especially when they are your elders? Didn't you parents teach you to respect your elders? Your action so far has been due to your pride, and pride has been the cause of the downfall of many leaders. After trading all the insults, you want to extend a handshake in full view of the public.
Please lah don't be a hypocrite.
Incidentally, why are the words "warlord" and "Godfather" given such bad connotations? I thought "godfather' is an honorable person
  I was asked to be the Godfather to the son of a close friend. It is an honour and I feel proud of it, as the friend has put his trust and faith in me to keep an eye on his son.
As for 'warlord', there are good warlords and bad warlords, depending on what cause you are fighting for. So it really boils down to who is using the words and to whom  the words are directed at. And this depends on the relationship between the two parties. Obviously there is bad blood between Karpal and Ramasamy, hence they take offence at the words. And to bicker over such an issue reflects the quality of leaders that are going to take over Putrajaya. Any difference with the present lot?

The Nobodies are making noise.

Lately there have been a number of unknown 'worms' crawling out of the woodwork to make their presence felt. This happens to booth sides  of the political divide. The only possible reason for this is probably due to the fact that the various parties will be selecting their candidates for the coming General Election. So if you make some kind of a noise, eventhough it may be a stupid ones, you are drawing the attention of the leaders.Lets see the kinds of stupid issues they rake up. From the DAP in Penang, we have people like A. Krishnan. G.Asoghan. M. Yoganathan, D.Kandasamy, P. Thiagarajan and R. Rayer. And what issue did they stir? Godfather and Warlord! and warning that hell would break loose, if DCM Ramasamy did not apologise to Karpal Singh. Come on, unless you are all trojan horses, you dont deserve to be leaders of the party if you allow such trivial matters to disrupt the harmony of the party. The umno/bn goons are just waiting for such opportunities to claim that the party is in disarray.
Lets take the advice of the Selangor DAP. that "they should no longer wash our dirty linen in public" and should "save their energy for a bigger battle against the Barisan Nasional in the upcoming general election".
Then from the MCA, we have Chew Lian Keng who demanded Lim Guan Eng's resignation as Penang Chief Minister over an oveplayed Hudud issue. Who the hell does he think he is to ask LGE to letak jawatan? He must be sleeping not to realise the success and progress LGE has brought to Penang.
Next we have the Penang MCA secretary, Lau Chiek Tuan who slammed LGE's government for not giving priority to the building of affordable homes, but spend time on mega projects to ease traffic congestion. But isn't traffic jam a big problem in Penang?
Who are these "worms" who suddenly become so vocal, and over trivial and unimportant issues.
Please we want to know how we can stretch our ringgit, we want to know why the government is closing both eyes on corruption, why the police has double standards in applying the law, why the MCA, MIC and other component parties of BN are losing their voices over the wrong doings of the umnos. Come on, let us have a certain degree of quality and conscientiousness in our so-called leaders.

UMNO decides whether you break the law or not!

The SUN reported that the Health Ministrt Director, Datuk Hasan Abdul Rahman as saying that the suppliers of the KR1M which mislabelled their products would not be charged. So it has now come to this. Just like the Cow & Condo case, the law is once again put aside to protect those who know umno. No wonder everyone in umno is breaking the law with impunity, and they are getting bolder by the day.
So mislabelling a product is not a crime, although the Food Act 1983 and the Food Regulations 1985 clearly stipulate that both providing inaccurate information and mislabelling are offences punishable with fines and jail sentences. But what is that to umno, when past cases have shown that selective prosecution and persecution is a norm in the present umno government.
The rampant abuse of power is too evident to be ignored, and there doesn't seem to be any let up. In fact, if BN/Umno is returned to power, we are not only giving them absolute power , but we are also signing the death warrant of our beloved country.

Defend Sharizat at ALL COST - my, my this is Frightening!!!

"Umno Youth members must defend Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil at all costs from Pakatan Rakyat’s attacks over the National Feedlot Centre (NFC) scandal,"
"AT ALL COST" my my. No wonder they get away with murder, corruption and all sorts of crime. Dont tell me there isn't an iota of sanity or intergrity left in the whole of umno. All you people in umno; the lawers, the Phds, the lawyers, the doctors, the engineers , the datuks and Tan Sris and the ministers, are you all blind or what? Are we the only people outside umno, and the Opposition, that can see the crime being committed by Shahrizat? Blatant misuse of power, denial of the highest level and misuse  of funds- what else do you need to convict a person? OK if you are not convinced. Then let's ask the bank that gives out the loan. Can a loan for project A be used for project B? Let me know if there is such a bank.
And Shahrizat had the gall to demand the resignation of Wan Azizah. Hey woman, Kak Wan did not deny she had nothing to do with the husband. She stood by her husband thru 2 trumped-up sodomy charges. Sheeeesh! you are not worthy to lick the sandals of Kak Wan. I hope those who stood behind Shahrizat when she spewed her venom, can sleep well, and oh, hope you can also tell your children the umno meaning of "defend at all cost".

Another APCO to raise Najib's tattered image?

Free Malaysia Todayt (FMT) reported that a survey conducted by the IIUM concluded that the PM's popularity has been rising steadily since 2009 while those in the opposition camp are losing their charm. Is this a joke or what? or has umno employed another agency (after Apco) to do another image uplift before the 13GE? Is  FMT being used to hood-winked the public? I hope not or else FMT will be removed from my favourite bar. Anyway who are the 1500 respondents? Probably all from umno, mca and mic.
The mca claimed that the Malaysians overseas are out of touch with local news and are fed with distorted and false news by the online news portals. Hence they are not entitled to vote.
Prof Syed Arabi Idid of IIUM’s Communications Studies Department who led the survey, claimed that he has been conducting studies on the popularity of polticians since 1989 and that people are "finding Najib more acceptable as their new leader."
Where has this guy been? Talking about out-of-touch with local scenerio. No need to look for 1500 repondents. Hey Prof., just read the online news portal such as Malaysia Chronicles, Malaysia Insider or Malaysiakini and you will get first hand info. on the popular rating of the PM. and the Opposition politicians. Just check the number of derogatory remarks made against Najib and the praises heaped on LGE, Tok Guru and Datuk Nizar, just to name a few. What do you read then? The Star? NST? Utusan? And according to mca, these papers disseminate reliable news. Shheeeeeesh!! give a break!

Nincompoop Leaders

What's wrong with these nincompoop leaders of our country. Starting from the head, that is our PM, they seem to be void of any intelligence. The right hand doesn't seem to know what the left hand is doing, or putting it in the common quoted statement, "cakap tak serupa bikin".
Take the PM's recent statement at the APEC meeting in Hawaii. He declared that allowing the voices of dissent is a sign of matured democracy. But he forgot to mention what happened when voices of dissent were actually voiced. Water cannon and tear gas were used on these voices of dissent. Even candle-light vigil by seniors, mothers and children were harrassed and arrested. There must be a devil in him to be able to face an international audience to make a stand of matured democracy and moderation, and then make an about turn the moment he arrives in his own country to do just the opposite.
Next we have the DPM. Its an embarrassment to be seen with him, especially in international events. Much has been said about the cow head he is and the flip-flopping policies he practises. A typical example of not knowing what he said is his recent statement advising his departmental staff to have enough rest and to spend quality time with their families. But hold on, wait a minute. Didn't his ministry just launch a project requiring teachers to work nine hours per day? So where got time to rest and where got time to spend with families? See the quality of leader, no, the DPM we have.
Next we have J.Khairy and the Nor Omar guy trying to defend the purchase of a condo with loan specifically for the cow project. For the Nor guy, probably it is excusable, but for the Oxford-trained K.J., his resume may be questionable. Probably he had just spent a year or 2 at Oxford working as an assistant to one of the lecturers.
Finally we have the game of passing the buck. The MACC has now passed the buck to the police to investigate the purchase of a condo with the loan given to NFC. The police will investigate and then will pass the buck to the A.G. stating that its now up to the AG to decide to take action or not. And like the Saiful love affair with a member of  the prosecuting team, the AG will say no evidence or insufficient evidence to prosecute.
So to retain the present government, we the rakyat must be prepared to accept whatever that is dished out by the ruling party. If they say black is white and white is black, we just have to accept it. Hey man, as the saying goes 'the ball is at your feet now'
