Kamalanathan won</a> with a majority nearly ten times larger than the late PKR MP of Hulu Selangor won in the 2008 General Election.<br /><br />But then, a close analysis of the number of votes (compared to the 2008 GE) shows that PKR garnered an additional 200 votes while BN gathered an additional 2000 votes. It does seem that the winning majority came from these additional voters since the last GE, all things being the same.<br /><br />While SiPM (M) has indicated that no matter who won, the Hulu Selangor constituents won big in an election where both BN and PKR put up candidates of caliber, the campaigning was still marred by overzealousness of the Dirty Tricks Dept from both parties.<br /><br />BN played on the fact that Zaid Ibrahim used to <a href="http://www.mmail.com.my/content/33766-my-drinking-days-are-over-says-zaid-ibrahim">consume alcohol</a> and owned race horses, while PKR chose to cast doubt on <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/60874-olympia-confirms-kamalanathans-degree">P. Kamalanathan's degree</a> from Edith Cowan University. Both were factual, Zaid did use to partake of the amber fluid and the MIC man did get his degree from Edith Cowan, through a 3+0 twinning programme with Olympia College.<br /><br />It is this reliance on dirty tricks which indicates the lack of maturity of political campaigning in Malaysia, be it a by-election or a general election. A more productive campaign would be to question the candidates on the issues of the day, rather than their personal traits.<br /><br />Instead, what we saw was the usual denigration of attributes which really meant nothing about the man itself, perpetrated by both PKR and BN in equal measure. SiPM (M) thinks this needs to stop, as we gear ourselves for the next by-election in Sibu, Sarawak. Let that be about real issues, issues an MP is supposed to be handling as he's elected to the federal Parliament.<br /><br />Let us learn from these lessons, as we move on to the 11th by-election since GE12 in Sibu. It's a different ballgame over there, with the Sarawakians taking their state-hood much more seriously than any one in the peninsular can claim to. It would be an election where, hopefully, the issues rule and where once again both DAP and BN put up candidates of caliber for the electorate to pick from.<br /><br />And once again, SiPM (M) says, it's tricky.<br /><br /><center><object width="400" height="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D86SR_Zm9U&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D86SR_Zm9U&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="320"></embed></object></center>Mydeen Aboo Backerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05747332144099364677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27917791.post-12605106994173241032010-04-16T12:12:00.004+08:002010-04-16T12:52:46.666+08:00The wayang ends, let's cool itAnd the wayang kulit has finally played out.<br /><br />Both PKR and MIC have announced their candidates for the by-election in P94, Hulu Selangor. Batting for PKR would be former cabinet minister and ex-UMNO Kota Bahru MP, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim while stepping up to the crease for MIC is P. Kamalanathan, the new face of MIC and party information chief.<br /><br />While Zaid's candidacy was announced without much fanfare, the hoo haa over the MIC candidate <a href="http://themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/60057-barisan-names-kamalanathan-after-battle-of-wills-">played out in the press</a> at large. On one side you have MIC supremo Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu insisting that it was his deputy, G. Palanivel or bust while the UMNO branches in the constituency wanted Mugilan, the deputy youth chief. Clearly it was bust for the MIC president when he was forced to back down and suggest Kamalanathan instead.<br /><br />And what a slap in the face it must be too, to have their candidate selection so openly influenced by UMNO. Can Samy still say that he's the strongman of the Indian community ?<br /><br />However one silently rising notion would be that Samy actually planned this blow up in public, if nothing but to show that Palanivel wasn't wanted nor accepted by BN/UMNO. Why though would he undermine his deputy like this, especially since he promises to turn the party over to him ?<br /><br />Perhaps this is the first shot of a battle to get his son, Vel Paari, a spot in the upper echelons of the party hierarchy and continue the dynasty. A page out of the old playbook of his longtime friend, Tun Mahathir Mohamad, who is doing the same for Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir.<br /><br />Still, the UMNO-MIC show aside, even within PR there are indications that Zaid's selection was not done with unanimous agreement. Some say Zaid's liberal policies and outlook mean the folk from PAS may not push their election machinery in H.S. enough for him, while others are saying Azmin Ali is threatened by Anwar's selection of Zaid as his possible successor. Azmin wants that spot, you see.<br /><br />No matter how they got selected though, SiPM (M) <a href="http://sipm.blogspot.com/2010/04/sibu-hunts-head.html">had called</a> for a good candidate selection, in order for the voters to choose from quality choices for Hulu Selangor. On that count, both Zaid and Kamalanathan fit the bill. Both are liberal men, with some good ideas, both represent the new wave sweeping their respective parties, and both are fit to be in Parliament if elected.<br /><br />And oh, while we are at it, another fly by night ADUN from PKR <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/129320">quit his party</a>. Ho hum, no big news this and lost it was in the bigger Hulu Selangor miasma.<br /><br />It is a brand new story, folks, played out in the old wayang kulit style. As Malaysians, let us all watch and enjoy it.<br /><br /><center><object width="400" height="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OIhtEhMNVno&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OIhtEhMNVno&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="320"></embed></object></center>Mydeen Aboo Backerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05747332144099364677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27917791.post-58970885631545163982010-04-09T12:48:00.006+08:002010-04-13T16:16:19.961+08:00Sibu hunts a headAnd before the 10th is even open for nominations, we get news of <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/59281">another</a> looming by-election.<br /><br />This time it is in Sibu, Sarawak. And a politically significant one it is too, since the Sarawak state elections are soon due, and both Pakatan and Barisan have been talking up their chances of taking the state.<br /><br />For Pakatan, it is important that they make some inroads into east Malaysia, for they would need that should they harbour any hopes of forming a federal government. For BN, its a barometer of how they have managed to shore down their strength since the losses of March 2008.<br /><br />Central to all of this would be were <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Taib_Mahmud">Taib Mahmud</a> throws his weight, which for now is firmly behind BN. Nevertheless even the PM knows that he still needs to take into account Taib's considerations (read: interests) in the matter before seeing it as a done deal.<br /><br />The Sibu by-election will thus serve as an indicator of how state elections will go. One would expect the DAP to play a significant role here, given their long time presence in both the seat and the state. However, the hawks in PKR may insist to have this done their way, which to be sure will test the loose coalition's cohesion. One wonders if we will have a repeat of 2008, when a PKR candidate stood against his coalition partner from the DAP, against the late Robert Lau from SUPP.<br /><br />In any case, one would think that Sibu will have a bigger import than <a href="http://sipm.blogspot.com/2010/04/blue-pill-or-red-pill-or-wait-for.html">Hulu Selangor</a>, with the bigwigs from both PR and BN making their presence felt.<br /><br />The federal seats from Sarawak are important, if PR ever hopes to win a Parliamentary majority. While BN's dominance in Sabah and Sarawak saved their rear ends in 2008, they cannot hope for this to always be the case, especially since Ku Li is still stirring up the distribution of oil profits.<br /><br />It is a well known fact that the profits from oil found in Sarawakian territories is largely used to fund projects in the peninsular. However, if one were to be in Kuching, the development and economic growth is something which would surprise you.<br /><br />So, would the oil issue play a major role in this by-election ? Will Ku Li be a thorn in BN's side in the run up ? Will DAP's Fuzhou coterie in Sibu be able to pull off a win when they've failed in the past ?<br /><br />Siber Party of Malaysia (M) will soon meet to see if we should throw our hat into the fray. After all, we do have a <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/04250760981704197822">competent Fuzhou</a> in our ranks, even if he is mostly silent and on a pork eating frenzy. SiPM (M) believes that even if the Chinese make up 60% of Sibu, the Melanau and Iban people are significant enough to play a role. Time for them to speak up and to be heard, and SiPM (M) will gladly do that if provided adequate amounts of tuak and langkau.<br /><br />Sarawak is not all about oil and logging. The other natural and cultural treasures it has should also be made known, and we at SiPM (M) will promise to bring more tuak and langkau into the peninsular, thus assisting the Sarawakian economy, should we be elected.<br /><br />For as we said, either way, we still need good candidates bearing fresh eggs, even if headhunters they may be.<br /><br /><center><object height="320" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/44SZ_9_modg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/44SZ_9_modg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="320" width="400"></embed></object></center>Mydeen Aboo Backerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05747332144099364677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27917791.post-35453951122794564512010-04-13T13:52:00.005+08:002010-04-13T16:14:39.746+08:00When the tail wags the dogWe at SiPM (M) actually wonder who runs the country, 1Malaysia or 50Malaysia.<br /><br />While the <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/128995">PM is away</a> on a <strike>PR bought ego</strike> Washington DC trip, his deputy decides to take things in hand and makes remarks invalidating not <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/59693-umno-mic-divided-over-dpms-local-candidate-remark">one</a>, but <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/129001">two</a> of his boss' plans for uniting Malaysia and his fractured coalition.<br /><br />It makes us at SiPM (M) wonder if this is a carefully crafted play to keep us continually guessing their strategies, or if its just open dissent as the power play between Najib and Muhyidin is played out in the open.<br /><br />Not only has the DPM single-handedly <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/59716-inter-faith-panels-talks-postponedindefinitely">killed any chance</a> of the interfaith panel being formed, he has also been showing all Malaysians that he is more than willing to let Ibrahim Ali and Perkasa dictate the government's actions and policies. Surprising that a single independent MP is able to wag the DPM. Perhaps it should just be made official, by making him the DPM. Or PM.<br /><br />While the voice of a <a href="http://thestar.com.my/columnists/story.asp?file=/2010/4/11/columnists/joceline/5997819&sec=joceline">liberal Malay agenda</a> is gaining some momentum, Malaysians have long grown tired of racial and religious rhetoric and politicking. The business of running the country seems to be taking a second seat to one-upmanship in state assemblies and Parliament.<br /><br />It does seem that Perkasa has the ability to overshadow even BN's arduous decision over <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/59693-umno-mic-divided-over-dpms-local-candidate-remark">who to select</a> as a candidate in Hulu Selangor. Even here, the discord between the MIC President's personally selected successor and the choice of the local UMNO branches needs the PM's tiebreaker. This does not bode well for the MIC's role within the BN coalition.<br /><br />Conversely, PR seems to have more or less <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/129006">agreed on a heavyweight</a>. Whether he will be able to placate the voters, remains to be seen but his coalition has at least shown some cohesion among its component parties.<br /><br />The further this goes, the more the schism is going to widen, and the more alienated Malaysians are going to get. As my colleague <a href="http://sipm.blogspot.com/2010/04/small-fry.html">points out</a>, thank you Mr DPM for pushing more votes SiPM (M) way. We stand for a Malaysia for its rakyat, and for what makes <b>all</b> of us tick. We stand for a Malaysia as it once was, not what it seems to be turning to.<br /><br />We stand for a Malaysia where justice has a fair shake at being done, instead of <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/128928">insulting experts</a> who try to shed light. We stand for what the ordinary Malaysian needs.<br /><br />Give SiPM (M) your vote, and sound the clarion that Malaysians are tired of shenanigans from all parties.<br /><br />You know its what needs to be done, we don't talk shit.<br /><br /><center><object height="240" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SAznBe6iAhU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SAznBe6iAhU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="240" width="400"></embed></object></center>Mydeen Aboo Backerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05747332144099364677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27917791.post-76541058395897321372010-04-13T10:46:00.003+08:002010-04-13T10:53:51.841+08:00Small FryMr DPM.

We all know our place in Malaysia now. Thanks to you.<br /><br />The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) understands that you have to do what you have done. We will do the same. But we won't waste time on a small fry like you.<br /><br />We have bigger fish to catch. To fry, so to speak.<br /><br />At the very least, we thank you for your comment which will send votes our way. Vote SiPM (M), where there are no small fries.

And we say democracy is dead in Malaysia.<br /><br />Two years and two prime ministers. Two years and two fronts to choose from. Two years, and too much rhetoric from both sides and one prime minister. (The other one fell a sleep often and didnt say much).<br /><br />The economy has not yet recovered fully, and <a href="http://www.asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2308&Itemid=199">emigration of our talent</a> is becoming a problem, even as nothing is done to retain the ones we still have.<br /><br />Racial rhetoric is allowed to flourish as short daggers are openly kissed, the symbolism as clear as it was before when a former youth chief did the same. But then, this is <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/opinion/breaking-views/57731-dr-m-and-perkasa-the-antithesis-of-1-malaysia-the-malaysian-insider">outsourced activism</a> to amphibian bodies.<br /><br />They hop and croak, in unison without independent thought. Or independent balance in Parliament. They hop when rewards hoped for do not materialize. And <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/56558-chaos-as-zahrain-blasts-anwar-pkr-in-parliament-">smear</a> former allies and colleagues. Are these the ones whom we've entrusted our national policy and federal lawmaking to ?<br /><br />The other side is not much better either. <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/58144-uproar-in-perak-assembly">Preferring theatrics</a> to actual governance and providing the check and balance needed, they lose the sympathy once abundant for the injustice done to them.<br /><br />One man seems to be <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/opinion/breaking-views/57204-the-leap-we-need-to-make--tengku-razaleigh-hamzah">saying the right things</a>, but for now he is keeping his cards close to his chest and awaits action against him. Or for an <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8495000.stm">opportunity</a> to present itself.<br /><br />What then of the choice for the voters in Hulu Selangor ? Who do they throw their ballot for ? How much time will they be able to consider ? No one knows, for even as both the <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/128299">BN</a> and <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/128291">PR</a> are undecided about who they want to field, internal pressures in both parties reek of communal and personal interest agendas. The best candidate for the constituency may just be a pipe dream.<br /><br />There is a need for a strong candidate. One who holds his weight with refreshing ideas to rejuvenate a country tired of politicking and crisscrossing barbs which serve no purpose. A candidate with strength and wisdom, to know when silence is needed and when the voice of his people must be heard. One who can rise above it all.<br /><br />Siber Party of Malaysia (M) hopes for a choice all voters across the nation can be proud of.<br /><br />The real slim shady.<br /><br /><br /><center><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OnWLw2-xRDg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OnWLw2-xRDg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></center>Mydeen Aboo Backerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05747332144099364677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27917791.post-71654451711366453352010-04-04T08:34:00.002+08:002010-04-04T08:42:29.498+08:00The Hulu Selangor CampaignA year after a new prime minister, what else is new?<br /><br />Najib Razak might have announced a lot of initiatives and measures but none have taken bite. We don't have to remind anyone of the alphabets that he has strung along or the fact that he is stringing us along too.<br /><br />A measure of what he is lies in the Hulu Selangor campaign.<br /><br />Although the Siber Party of Malaysia (M) is not contesting the seat, we would like to put our points across to the good people of the federal ward.<br /><br />Are you still falling for the basket of goodies that come before a hotly-contested by-election that appears key to the prestige and popularity of two self-centered coalitions?<br /><br />Pakatan Rakyat needs to win this one. Well, PKR needs to keep the seat after losing four MPs. As for Barisan Nasional, an additional seat is always welcome as it builds up towards a two-thirds majority in Parliament.<br /><br />Of course, SiPM (M) will decide whether to vote along or against either coalitions. To paraphrase WC Fields - "I never vote for anyone. I always vote against."<br /><br />But you good folks of Hulu Selangor decide. Just like the rest of Malaysia will have to decide whether Barisan or Pakatan is worthy of their vote. For us, its simple, only the SiPM (M) gets the vote.<br /><br />We are as real as can be. And heck, we rap too.<br /><br /><object height="330" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XyafhcMr8hI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XyafhcMr8hI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="330" width="400"></embed></object>Mat Merahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16967895392234158056noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27917791.post-44610925770327542382010-03-27T20:11:00.002+08:002010-03-27T20:35:19.066+08:00Shout Loud and ProudWe shall not bore you with what was said by both <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/57703-befriend-perkasa-to-win-polls-says-ibrahim">Ibrahim Ali</a> and <a href="http://themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/57729-dr-m-public-debate-will-destabilise-malaysia">Dr Mahathir Mohamad</a> today. <div><br /></div><div>Suffice to say that Prime Minister <a href="http://www.1malaysia.com.my/">Najib Razak</a> and his boy blunder <a href="http://www.rembau.net/">Khairy Jamaluddin</a> got the short end of the stick.

Sometimes.<br /><br />All because the Young Turks of today want to stick with the current Pakatan Rakyat pact while the Old Turks of today want to remain independent and chart their own destiny to realise their Islamic State.<br /><br />Which they think is possible with Umno. <br /><br />That has left the others hopping. Hopping mad to be precise.<br /><br />All this is senseless distraction from the main matter at hand. The economy.<br /><br />The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) is of the opinion that unity governments notwithstanding, <a href="http://everything2.com/title/Now%2520is%2520the%2520time%2520for%2520all%2520good%2520men%2520to%2520come%2520to%2520the%2520aid%2520of%2520their%2520country">now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country!</a><br /><br />Not along the lines of race, religion but to reason.<br /><br />The venerable <a href="http://www.chedet.cc">Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad</a> today commented about the unity government proposal, saying it would only bring good if both sides were sincere about doing it in the interest of the nation.<br /><br />"But it's sometimes difficult for politicians to be sincere. I'm also a politician, you know," he said, smiling, Bernama reported.<br /><br />Sincerity. That's the word. Are PAS and Umno doing it sincerely for the country or to perpetuate their power and move a secular Malaysia towards an Islamic state, which is just another platform to keep power.<br /><br />We have to ask the hard questions. For we have no faith in these men who proclaim their faith openly and wear their hearts on their sleeves but still have a trick up their sleeve.<br /><br />So rock the vote for the Siber Party of Malaysia (M).

I am sure it confuses a lot of you folks as well. <br /><br />Today he spoke of having the <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/27517-najib-speaks-of-three-pillars-for-national-unity">3 concept pillars of unity</a>: acceptance, principle of nationhood and concept of social justice.<br /><br />Sweet dreams indeed. <br /><br />However, on the ground, things are not so sweet.<br /><br />The boys in blue had invoked the Printing Presses and Publication Act <a href="http://malaysiakini.com/news/104982">to raid the DAP HQ yesterday</a> and it has created an impression that our proud but underpaid PDRMers are neglecting their crime busting duties. Hence why there have been so many snatch thefts.<br /><br />But I digress.<br /><br />The point is this: Malaysia is at a deadlock and both Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional are unable to provide suitable solutions for our nation.<br /><br />Therefore, support SiPM! For the <a href="http://sipm.blogspot.com/2008/03/unlosing-plots.html">power of 4G</a>:<br />1. Parti<br />2. Hisap<br />3. Main<br />4.

We have to agree with him.<br /><br />In the following days, much will be argued about what happened in Perak. Much to be said, expressed and maybe a few candles lit in the inky blackness of the night.<br /><br />Of course, the police, who have proven effective to police fashion sense, will not have any of this. No black, no candles, no gathering. And they shall be in full force to ensure these rules are adhered to.<br /><br />Forget about crimes like snatch thefts, murders, robberies and such. Those are harder to track but not as subversive to the state as wearing black, gathering somewhere and holding a candle.<br /><br />That is a crime.<br /><br />And one more thing, you cannot sit too long on the speaker's chair. That's like squatting around. Punishable with being dragged and dumped in a room. This is 1Malaysia, where life is explosive and everything explodes.<br /><br />The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) had never thought politics was a wrestling match and is now minded by the saying about politics in this time of swine flu, "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it!"<br /><br />Damn right! Boom. Boom. Pow.

Both are the ones gagging for a fight which gives them reason to exist in this New Malaysia.<br /><br />So how about it? The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) is more than happy to step out of the fight and allow these two fine specimens of Malaysian polity fight it out for posterity though we rather they work things out for our prosperity.<br /><br />After all, it seems that Barisan Nasional is hesitant and want to work on fixing the economy. Heck, even the DAP wants to move on and get Penang's economy moving forward.<br /><br />Its only these two who are spoiling for a fight, for a siege mentality to keep them relevant and keep them in public eye.<br /><br />Come on.

Whatsup with that 'tude, dude!<br /><br />That's, like, totally losing it already!<br /><br />'Nuff said!

Have we offended you? We are no longer serious? You tell us.<br /><br />The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) does not only promise to change but has changed. From now on, we don't accept any more new members or readers.<br /><br />So begone.<br /><br />Two, the putative prime minister Najib Abdul Razak has just formed a 'lean and mean' cabinet that is just two short of the former list of ministers but two more than the old cohort of deputy ministers.<br /><br />So take out two here, add two there and voila! you have a <a href="http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2009/04/09/najib-cabinet-not-lean-may-be-mean-announcement-overshadowed-by-ghost-of-altantuya/">'lean and mean'</a> cabinet. Must be all that science and mathematics in English that has us confused.<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2009/04/11/an-untalented-team-lacking-integrity/">Many</a> have spoken about this new Najib Administration and the power-behind-the-throne, so to speak. They speak not of a Cabinet but of an excess baggage room of those who might, let's just say, not have any personality, integrity and some kind of gritty.<br /><br />The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) knows it can do better. With the five of us in Parliament, we can form a better, leaner and meaner Cabinet than the<a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/22999-pm-says-cabinet-list-must-satisfy-people"> tail end of R.A.H.M.A.N.</a> can ever do.<br /><br />We have sliced and diced the ministries to five. The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) knows it just takes five to make One Malaysia, One This , One That and One-something-or-other.<br /><br />The most important ministry deals with money, industry and all things finance. We have named this MILF - Ministry of Money, Inefficiency, Looting and Frauds.<br /><br />The second deals with education, information, religion, welfare and the pursuit of all things Malaysian. We call it after our hero's theory, MC2 - Ministry of Mind Control and Charlatans <br /><br />The third deals with trade, policies, sports and everything in between. Its called CUP - Ministry of Cronyism and Unfair Policies.<br /><br />The fourth ministry is for health, environment and the future of our country, the youth. Its named HEY - Health, Environment and Youth.<br /><br />The fifth ministry is by far the most crucial and is headed by the prime minister, whom we have yet to nominate but most likely is the champion of champions, the caliph of caliphs, the maharani of SiPM (M), YB Minah Black. We call it the the Ministry of Prime Ministerial Services or PMS for short.<br /><br />There you have it. Five people, five ministries, one country, one vision.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_LVxb2JyNUs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_LVxb2JyNUs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="330"></embed></object>Mat Merahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16967895392234158056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27917791.post-32390722574188398812009-04-15T18:51:00.002+08:002009-04-15T19:22:00.267+08:00Cunning Linguistics<a href="http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2009/04/15/“1malaysia”-means-“arise-malaysians”-or-“arise-malays”-“arise-chinese”-“arise-indians”arise-kadazans”/">Arise, Malaysians</a>.<br /><br />Clean your ears, wash your eyes, go back to school and learn Bahasa Melayu.<br /><br />Follow us on the path to One Malaysia of many versions.<br /><br />Where the deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin can <a href="http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2009&dt=0415&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Politik&pg=po_01.htm&arc=hive">say something in one language</a> for it to come out, apparently different, in other languages, but what is said is <a href="http://www.ongteekeat.net/gogo_en/content/view/266/53/">fine as Malaysia is a democracy</a>.<br /><br />Glad we <a href="http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2009&dt=0415&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Rencana&pg=re_01.htm&arc=hive">got that out of the way</a> and no longer<a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com.my/index.php/opinion/breaking-views/23344-jangan-mudah-melenting--zulkiflee-bakar"> excited </a>about it.<br /><br />Funny how these BN politicians think, that we would vote for them, follow them even, to reciprocate for the lucre they dish out in every election campaign.<br /><br />Not even for <a href="http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsindex.php?id=396226">instant noodles</a>.<br /><br />We the Siber Party of Malaysia (M) have not made many promises <a href="http://sipm.blogspot.com/2008/03/sipm-manifesto-power-of-4g.html">save a few</a>. None have come true of course. Yet, it is not something we will give willy-nilly just to take back a seat or two.<br /><br />Because we know the people want more than instant gratification (no?). They want l<a href="http://www.marxists.org/history/etol/newspape/ni/vol06/no07/editors.htm">iberty, equality and fraternity</a>... and let's not forget some <a href="http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P1-82528759.html">profanity</a>.<br /><br />However, we have to stop politicians from cunning linguistics, the same kind found in <a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Animal_Farm">Animal Farm</a> that turned f<i>our legs good, two legs bad</i> into f<i>our legs good, two legs better</i>!<br /><br />Because even in that parody of communism, Orwell could tell that one day, <strong>all animals are equal</strong> can have the addendum, <strong>but some animals are more equal than others</strong>.<br /><br />And that, lads and ladettes, is One Malaysia.

Altantuya. Race. King.</p><p>These are the four issues that cannot be raised within the confines of all political ceramahs for the three by-elections this April 7. Since the Siber Party of Malaysia (M) is not contesting any of the seats, we guess the ban does not apply to us.</p><p>So we can happily discuss them right here, right now. Of course you can too, outside ceramahs in Bukit Gantang, Bukit Selambau and Batang Ai. When the speakers make the sign, the listening crowd can shout Faith. Altantuya. Race. King or FARK for short.</p><p>You heard it right the first time. Nothing in the law that stops you from using any word that you want to express yourself. And while at it, go ahead and use the word 'Allah' but not together, lah!</p><p>The thing is, the authorities are not too smart. Neither is the ruling government. What would possess them to ban such words or topics? Putting the lid to such issues will only make people talk more about it. </p><p>Nothing better than something illicit.</p><p>No offence meant but there is no offence in speaking about any of these topics. It is not seditious but if you think that its not kosher, or halal, just shorten it and use the abbreviation to make our point that Malaysians have a right to discuss what others don't want them to discuss.</p><p>Can a Mongolian who is dead not be an issue in any elections even if she has never been there? Are instant noodle projects still the rage in election campaigns? Do the police think people are stupid?</p><p>The latest action has just resurrected the ghost of Altantuya Shaariibuu just as the country changes prime ministers. Lost political baggages have now been found in the conveyor belt of scandals and stories.</p><p>Yes, banning the dead just brings them back alive. Saying it isn't so is as good as saying it is so.</p><p>So let's say it once and for all. Say her name loud and proud. Or just say FARK!

They culled Ali Rustam to ensure purity of the bloodstocks in the rarefied atmosphere at the 39th floor of Menara Dato' Onn.<br /><br />It all happened days after they found a <a ut="" href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/100477">charm</a> underneath outgoing president Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's desk. That was the thing that kept corruption and all the dirt under the carpet. The cleaning dudes couldn't get at it.<br /><br />Heck, even the cops can't read it as its sooooo tiny its virtually indecipherable. So, they are leaving it to the Chemistry Department to figure out the Arabic doodles. Mind you, since Malaysia began teaching Science and Mathematics in English, its only the scientific-types who can read any language or symbols.<br /><br />Or destroy it trying.<br /><br />But not destroying is the order of the day over in UMNO. They just stopped good ol' Ali from the number two post but think he is good enough to remain Malacca Chief Minister. What you say, double standards of justice?<br /><br />What do you expect from an incoming prime minister-cum-finance-minister-dash-UMNO chief who has doubled levies on foreign workers so that we can use local workers in our factories, restaurants and toilets and therefore double the rates too.<br /><br />More money made, more tax gained. That's a stimulus package for you right there. Thank you, Mr Prime Minister for following the prosper-thy-neighbour policy of the former Number One - Dr Mahathir Mohamad.<br /><br />But it just seems that our neighbours are prospering while we perspire.<br /><br />OK, out of point here, apologies Mr Speaker. We don't want to be out of Parliament for a year, no sirree no! Move along now, no one got killed here!<br /><br />Except Ali's career. Here's where UMNO took a leaf from MIC whose el presidente is fighting off the Obama-like-figure of a 68-year-old man seeking to restore his political career and revive the party.<br /><br />Years ago, MIC took it upon itself to create a glass ceiling that only allowed Tamils to move up the party ladder, subject to approval from he-who-must-be-obeyed-at-all-costs-from-sungei-siput.<br /><br />So a Malayalee called K. Pathmanaban didn't make it up past the vice-presidency in 1991. Cut to UMNO of 2009 and we see the same thing, a Malay Ali cannot make it past the vice-presidency too.<br /><br />See the eerie similarity. Not only that, UMNO, like MIC, has followed the MCA in only having a select list to make it to the top, a certain<i> cai tan</i>, so to speak, of leaders qualified and verified for greater success.<br /><br />If you are not part of the blueblood, forget it.<br /><br />Don't even try as they will trip you and cut you down to size. Some like Ali, get to keep what they gained but others, like Anwar Ibrahim, lost everything political and spent some time as a government guest.<br /><br />See, didn't we tell you the old Alliance parties share the same tactics? How utterly predictable they are.<br /><br />Next week, they will kiss and make up and pledge a brighter future for all. Just like they do every year and every election. Its the same tactic that we all fall for.<br /><br />That's a good reason to join the Siber Party of Malaysia (M). We don't have any tactics and we have not been in power for 50 years. <br /><br />And we don't promise anything except a good time, even if it kills us. Or our careers.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f4VUQWQsK5A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/f4VUQWQsK5A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="330"></embed></object>Mat Merahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16967895392234158056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27917791.post-54363322519945538662009-03-11T16:09:00.003+08:002009-03-11T16:50:43.521+08:00What in God's name...The way the law sees it, this post cannot be read in every Malaysian state save Penang, Sabah, Sarawak and the Federal Territories as there is no fatwa or edict there yet on banning the use of the word <strong><i>Allah (tm)</i></strong> in non-Muslim publications.<br /><br />But this is the Internet and available at all territories bar fixes in a proxy server. Therein lies our dilemma as lawmakers who do not want to break the law, be it a religious law or edict however irrational it is.<br /><br />So how? How can any government legislate how and what we call our supreme maker, for those who believe that life is not an accident but a design from a much more intelligent sentient being or a collective pantheon of beings or gods who is/are amused by our shennanigans.<br /><br />Let's not even go there and debate the very nature of the supreme maker, the creator, the destroyer and what-have-you.<br /><br />What we want to get to is the name of the Heavenly Father, the Lord, the One, the Supreme Being in the national language Bahasa Malaysia. Is it just Tuhan, which can actually be re-arranged to spell Hantu, or can everyone use <i><strong>Allah (tm)</strong></i>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/20107-tunku-aziz-urges-qallahq-rethink">DAP's Tunku Aziz</a> said the government should not legislate pending a court case in the matter. Can any follower of any religion say you cannot call the name of their lord in vain? Is it a matter of your god against my god no matter how irrational that is for monotheistic religions?<br /><br />Can any race control the words of another race? Can they stop others from saying or printing anything they want in the name of their faith? Is it lawful? Does God care? Do we?<br /><br />Is God laughing at us?
