What do Mahathir’s Pribumi people think of ally DAP?

The Sarawak alliance led by Abang Johari Openg (pix below) is now buddying up to PAS. Johari is a Malay Muslim.

Will we witness a similar high-fiving between native Sarawak leaders and DAP anytime soon? Or would DAP be nudged even further to the fringe and isolated from the indigenous populations in both Malaya and Borneo?

Mahathir stretching his term like the world’s longest rubber band

BELOW: The Harapan manifesto says that the PM cannot hold an additional and separate ministerial portfolio, for example, Finance Ministry (or something else)

Three more years … of endless possibilities:

Tanjung Piai: DAP letak calon Melayu pada 2008 dan 2013

… manakala BN letak calon Cina (PRU12-14).

Kerusi parlimen Tanjung Piai dibentuk ketika persempadanan semula dijalankan di Johor pada 2003.

Tanjung Piai menjadi rebutan antara DAP dan MCA satu lawan satu dalam pilihanraya-pilihanraya umum tahun 2004, 2008 dan 2013 — lihat jadual keputusan di bawah.

New freedoms in Malaysia Baru, hooray

In Old Malaysia under Mahathirism 1.0, no freedom of speech

In New Malaysia under Mahathirism 2.0, right to free speech for all

Heard in the House: MPs, you’re chickens and “turkeys”

This is the best political video clip I’ve seen, ever!

Parti Pribumi sekarang lebih katak berbanding MP ori

Ahli parlimen Yamani Hafez Musa (YB Sipitang), iaitu anak kepada bekas ketua menteri Sabah Musa Aman, wakil terbaru masuk parti Pribumi. Yamani asal parti Umno.

What DAP’s Ramasamy and Zakir Naik have in common

Ramasamy s/o Palanisamy is the enduring poster boy who best illustrates his racist party’s concept of an unbreakable glass ceiling.

Ramasamy was made deputy chief minister Two (II) when DAP first headed the Penang state gomen in 2008.

Dari Sungai Kandis sampailah ke Tanjung Piai

Malaysia mengundang 10 pilihanraya kecil dalam tempoh 16 bulan.

Setakat ini sudah berlangsung lapan pilihanraya kecil manakala dua lagi bakal diadakan di Kimanis dan Tanjung Piai.

Umno menang tiga pilihanraya kecil berturut-turut di mana turnout (peratus pemilih yang keluar mengundi) adalah tinggi, yakni dalam lingkungan 69-79%.

Umno-PAS get 95% Malay support okay what

DIVERSITY, like ‘pluralism’, is a virtue-signaling word beloved of Harapan that they preach but don’t practice.

There is little diversity of political thought among Chinese voters because 95 percent of them support only one party — the DAP.

Where is there any plurality (having many options) when the Chinese electorate already obliterated MCA and other Chinese-based BN parties? How can the Hope people claim they love diversity when they had so fervently carried out the DAP command to annihilate MCA in the last election?

Hadi Awang: ”DAP mahukan kekayaan untuk orang Cina saja”

Wow. Cina DAP are really a big bugbear for PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang who warned today that the Chinese party wants to give over control of Sarawak and the state’s wealth to the Chinese.

Speaking at a get-together in a longhouse in Bintulu, Hadi recalled that after the BN’s fall in GE14, Harapan came to power and with the DAP holding the biggest chunk of this new power.

Unfortunately, the DAP wants wealth for Chinese only, he said in his speech, “untuk orang Cina saja, bukan untuk semua”.

Siap siaga: PAS-Umno tell DAP to bring it on

Ummah sudahpun berhimpun dan sedia melangkah ke arah satu citra yang baru …

Bulat air kerana pembetung, bulat manusia kerana muafakat

Tahniah PAS, Umno

 

Carik-carik bulu ayam, lama-lama bercantum juga

M for ‘My new job’ (Dapsters only need apply)

Has Lim Kit Siang finally found his vocation as ‘M for Mahathir’ barker?

A barker is “an animal or person that barks”, according to a definition of the word provided by Dictionary.com.

Bendera bulan purnama berkibar bersama Sang Saka

M for Malay, C for chihuahua

Umno and PAS are sending out their kompang and bunga manggar esok (Fri. Sept 13), and holding their akad nikah tulat (Sat. Sept 14).

It is not fake news.

Be careful what you wish for, Christian DAP

Oh really? I’m quite sure it will be the other way around.

The night 60,000 ‘ubah’ crowd cheered, clapped, whistled, roared

It was 6 March 2008.

It was 36 hours before the 12th general election.

It was also 11-and-a-half years ago when an estimated 60,000 Chinese gathered in the open field of Han Chiang High School, Penang for the mega rally dubbed ‘the Mother of All Ceramahs’.

The rare politician with sincerity

Firstly my abstract of an article titled ‘Israel’s Prince of Paradoxes’ from The Atlantic monthly magazine, followed by my reply to reader Conrad.

The Atlantic article is by Michael Oren, Israel ambassador in Washington DC (2009-2013) and from 2015 onwards, a member of Knesset and deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Office.

My regular blog reader HY made the comment below @ 10:42pm, Sept 6 responding to my post yesterday ‘Hadi Awang most honest politician in M’sia’.

HY wrote: “i think its a matter of right n wrong, what he said is wrong, nothing to do with honesty. hadi is infamous for his shariah compliance lies, he is essentially a liar, i dun agree he is any better than lks.”

I’d like to share my reply to HY, which is as follows:

Hadi Awang most honest politician in M’sia

At first glance, Hadi Awang’s “inilah hakikatnya” defence of Zakir Naik – insisting “hak persaudaraan Islam itu mengatasi warganegara dan merentasi sempadan negara dan bangsa” – appeared to be a sucker punch at non Malays.

But on second thought and after ruminating on the matter, I discern Hadi’s statement to be staggering in its sheer honesty.

Kit Siang: Me no Running Dog, me Sitting Bull

 

Yessss! Snap election is way to go

British prime minister Boris Johnson – who has been PM only 42 days – will be tabling a motion to trigger a general election, various media have begun to report in their breaking news. 

Israel and Austria also are holding their snap polls this month while Moldova’s will be conducted the day after tomorrow.

DESPERATE Chinese — quick note on ‘Diversity dead or alive’

The Malay unity message of PAS and Umno “scares the daylights out of the non-Malays”, wrote Joceline Tan in her Star column yesterday headlined ‘Eye on Malay show of force’.

DAP and its 95% Chinese polity are desperately sledgehammering their diversity-multiculturalism propaganda because – as Joceline says – they’re scared shit of the alternative unfolding before their eyes.

Diversity — dead or alive? (Part 2) Emigrate

For National Day, Sin Chew invited Dr Awang Azman, Dr Jeniri Amir and Dr Azizuddin Sani to contribute their thoughts on the Merdeka spirit and multiculturalism.

Their essays lauding ‘diversity’ were published in the Sin Chew English portal on Aug 31. All three academics had largely positive messages, good intentions and their heart in the right place. See my blog post compilation yesterday.

Sin Chew had also invited Prof. Dr Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi to pen his thoughts. Tajuddin, now a lecturer with UCSI (better known as SEGI) University’s School of Architecture and Built Environment, was previously attached to UiTM.

For Prof. Tajuddin, diversity is not working out so well in the country.

Diversity — dead or alive?

That Sin Chew is astute when it comes to clarifying the sentiments of our local Chinese community is unsurprising given this daily broadsheet is the largest circulation Chinese-language newspaper outside of Greater China.

As the go-to trusty signpost, Sin Chew is accurate in parleying the Chinese mindset but unfortunately when it relates to the Malay psyche, not so much.
