Lesson for M’sians from Boris Johnson crisis

Boris Johnson highlights that he led Conservatives to their party’s biggest electoral win since Margaret Thatcher.

Picking the right side

Republican incumbent vice president Mike Pence and Democrat VP nominee Kamala Harris just concluded their debate a few hours ago.

The Republicans in the USA are conservative and the Democrats are liberal.

The GOP is the right-wing party while the Democratic Party is socialist far left.

Idea of one largest single party (DAP) calling the shots

Dapsters have been arguing that the DAP political side should rule Sabah because Shafie Apdal leads the state’s biggest single party.

In the Sabah 2020 election, Shafie’s party Warisan won 23 seats. With its partners’ – DAP (6), PKR (2), Upko (1) – contribution of nine seats, Warisan-Plus has a total of 32 seats.

MCA sudah boleh gulung tikar

Chinese support for DAP remains rock solid.

No amount of postmortem by MCA can help the party resuscitate a lifeless corpse. The angry Chinese mood against BN is implacable.

MCA should allow the Chinese to deservingly get the government they voted for. Because elections have consequences.

More Chinese cabinet ministers under BN than during Harapan interregnum

Compare the cabinet line-up under two rival administrations — the first one recently when Chinese voters gave their 95 percent support to Harapan, with the second one previously when the Chinese extended less than 50 percent electoral support to BN.

Under Mahathir as prime minister 2.0, there were five Chinese ministers and eight Chinese deputy ministers. Under Abdullah Badawi in 2004, there were six Chinese ministers and twelve Chinese deputy ministers — see full list below.

A tale of two kitties

I really have to apologize to my cats for using them as an analogy for Pakatan and Barisan. The poor darlings are being politically maligned through the comparison.

The photo below is of my pair of cats from the same litter. They’re twins and I find it hard to tell them apart. So I had to colour code them, giving the male a flourescent green collar. His sister wears a flourescent pink collar.

Good news

Some Speedmart 99 outlets are opening until 11pm, yay.

Speedmart is my favourite place to shop for basic necessities.

The joke is on Haris Ibrahim

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall accept Mahathir and Muhyiddin to lead the Dapsters

Last night at an opposition function in Padang Rengas, Muhyiddin Yassin proposed, “Maybe we can name the new coalition between Pakatan Harapan and Bersatu as Barisan Rakyat – Barisan Rakyat to fight against Barisan Nasional”.

Prime Minister resigns after UK Brexits

Final tally: Close to 52 percent of Brits voting in the referendum said ‘Leave’.

David Cameron has immediately announced his resignation. He had been campaigning for the UK to remain in the European Union.

Lesson for Malaysia: A Prime Minister must be attuned to the wishes of the majority — hint, hint. (Read: Listen to your grassroots!)

Malay silent majority elect to be disconcertingly quiet

FMT today yesterday (as it’s three minutes past midnight) carried an identical Bernama news item on an abused Terengganu girl in both English and bahasa Melayu.

The story appeared in English first and followed by its BM version.

Najib’s photo at the UN

Perkasa, are you for or against Bersih 4.0? ~ Come on, speak up

In my previous post, I asked the following question – Is Bersih 4.0 safe?

The Circle – a group 30 retired chiefs of armed forces – yesterday expressed their disquiet and grave concern about the security situation in our country.

Perkasa has also got retired high-ranking military men in the leadership of the organization. Thus, will these Perkasa leaders and members who had served in the army before please publicly state their stand on Bersih 4.0?

Some two-and-a-half weeks before Bersih 2.0 (9 July 2011), Hannah Yeoh in her June 20th tweet took a dig at Perkasa.

1strategy to help save Najib

Najib’s 1Malaysia is as muddled as Tun Dol’s Islam Hadhari.

Really dunno why he’s still diligently, dutifully but more rather religiously wearing the 1Malaysia pin daily. Even until today. What a masochist!

Perkasa committing khalwat and Ibrahim Ali born again

Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali said his organization “had fallen in love” with the Christians for Peace and Harmony Malaysia group.

Scrap 1Malaysia already! It reminds angry M’sians of 1MDB

Dear PM’s people
(I mean the locals, not the omputih consultants with vested interests),

The slogan “1Malaysia” is poison now. Nothing positive will come out of it anymore.

When you trot out 1Malaysia, it automatically reminds the rakyat of 1MDB.

Zaid Ibrahim: “This Govt … espouses RACIAL HATRED as part of its philosophy”

Zaid Ibrahim has made two serious charges against the government. Writing in his website Zaidgeist, the former de facto Law Minister said, “This Government is not only corrupt but espouses racial hatred as part of its philosophy”.

He also expressed his concern that the Chinese community is increasingly becoming the target of racism.

Boat brides: Girls sailing to M’sia to get married

A loan shark-debt collector, Loo Chon Wen, 33, was charged yesterday with killing his nine-year-old son Evan and burying the boy under a new layer of cement in the kitchen (pix below).

Is Najib referring to the Muslims or the Christians?

Malays cannot reach any Chinese audience – Utusan only has one percent Chinese readers.

The Christians however are influencing and shaping the Malay mind – a quarter (25 percent) of The J-Star readers are Malay – see http://adqrate.com pie charts below.

Najib: “‘Pendatang’ should never be used to refer to a M’sian”

Since Najib Razak appears to consider ‘pendatang’ about as offensive as the ‘Nigger’-word, how about replacing it with ‘penjelma’ instead?

Is Najib going to be taken advantage of by the evangelistas?

Isma is not invited to the evangelista Peace & Harmony banquet tonight at the Majestic Hotel ballroom. And I know why.

Is Najib getting new evangelical Christian consultants?

Is Najib Razak going to be patron of the Christians for Peace and Harmony Malaysia like how he’s patron to Saifuddin Abdullah’s Moderates group?

Harbinger of Malay tsunami in GE14

You can assume the following trend – which I’m going demonstrate – as one lesson that the BN will be taught in GE14.

1. The silent majority are sorely deprived of a platform for our voice. More than 600 out of some one thousand people are saying, ‘No’, the Rohingya should not be allowed to stay in Malaysia.

That’s what the majority (60 percent) of my poll respondents feel.

Tun-PM battle royale will hand Putrajaya over to DAP

With a mere two percent Malay vote swing coupled with five percent Chinese vote swing, Pakatan will snatch 22 Parliament seats from the BN. This will put Pakatan and BN at a dead heat with each side holding 111 seats. See results, http://undi.info/2013p/parlid|-2|2|-5|5|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0

Add another two percent Christian vote swing and BN will be kicked out of Putrajaya.

Jemuan-jemuan: If not Jho, then who?

Jho says it ain’t so: Malaysian tycoon denies role in 1MDB ‘heist of the century’ article on Low Taek Jho features in Euromoney‘s April edition of the magazine.

The Euromoney interview was held in Jho’s stylish office in Hong Kong and where reporter Eric Ellis was served his coffee “in exquisite porcelain”. The sophisticated HQ for Jho’s business empire offers “a panorama of the city’s harbour and the promise of China beyond”.

Part 2: Najib’s Q & A only giving more ammo to Tun

In The J-Star front page caption box today, Si Gunting Dalam Lipatan quoted Najib Razak as saying:

“1MDB’s assets are larger than its liabilities. So in very simplistic terms, if 1MDB were to be wound down tomorrow, the company would still have some assets and and money left even after paying off its debts.”

Such a clueless and callous statement from the PM!

Najib’s Q&A only giving more ammo to Tun

Last night in his TV3 interview, Najib Razak said that he remains “respectful” of Tun Dr Mahathir. Nonetheless, respecting Tun is still not providing the grand olde man with the answers that he is demanding.

Tun: I asked simple questions but instead of answering Najib wants people to support him

Tun Mahathir: “Supporters of Najib must also support Jho Low who managed 1MDB money who is a friend of Najib like Daim is my friend.”

Jho Low, like Wong Chun Wai, is a Penang boy.

Tun vs Najib – the gloves are off

Last year, there was his outburst against blogger “bangang”. Today, Najib hit out at “jemuan” in the Umno body politic.

He blames “jemuan-jemuan” for causing disharmony in Umno, according to a Bernama report.

Accusing them of pitting Umno people against each other, the party president said it is due to the incitement by these jemuan-jemuan that “so much of our shortcomings are amplified”.

One clueless moment … captured on film

See how MCA president Liow Tiong Lai clasps his hand.

Below are examples of Najib’s favourite evangelista advisor Wong Chun Wai as well as Lim Guan Eng and Jackie Chan doing the same.

The Economist: Ex-premier “itching for Mr Najib to step down”

The Economist, an influential international business magazine in its latest report ‘Gathering steam‘ said, “Problems at a state investment fund are bad news for Malaysia’s prime minister” referring to 1MDB.

The London-based magazine also said:

“Mr Najib is probably more worried about criticism from within his own party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). The fund has long attracted sniping from factions loyal to Mahathir Mohamad, a meddling former prime minister who is itching for Mr Najib to step down.”

Important agenda for Umno divisions meeting this Sunday @mpkotabelud

Isn’t it wonderful when the passage of time – a mere two years down the road – proves you to have been absolutely correct?

~ ~ I told you so ~~

On 17 May 2013, I had blogged that Najib Razak’s exclamation of “Chinese tsunami” was factually correct and it was indeed true that Chinese voters had ditched the BN wholesale in the election which was held a week-plus earlier (May 5).

And I provided the data to support my finding.

Well, guess what?

In terms of Chinese sentiment – i.e. how the Chinese feel about the country and the government, the Merdeka Center public opinion survey results for the first quarter of 2015 are now a perfect match with the 2013 election mood.

Tick, tock, tick, tock … Najib’s days are numbered

There’s now the Jho Low controversy swirling feverishly around Najib Razak and triggered by no less than a lengthy report published in one of the world’s most famous newspapers – The New York Times.

Then there is also the Sarawak Report special investigation exposé which was reputedly put together with yet another newspaper of international renown – London’s Sunday Times.

All this makes you ponder just what kind of people – the Jho Low type, I reckon – it is that our PM is surrounded by.

Najib unfit to preach moderation when ‘housewife’ Rosmah is EXTREME in her upkeep

The “moderation” plank pitched by our Prime Minister is a cruel joke.

His wife Rosmelda must have thousands of dresses. Please do a Google image search. In each photo she’s wearing a different expensive dress.

How many handbags does she need?

In my posting yesterday, I asked what do Rosmah and Dodgy Podgy have in common besides their mutual love for branded handbags?

Answer: Their height and weight.

Rosmah, Hannah and their double chins

60 Zunar T-shirts for the cost of Rosmah’s designer hairdo

I have a copy of Zunar’s earlier book Cartoon-O-Phobia featuring Rosmah Mansor on the cover as well as the T-shirt.

For the price of Rosmah’s hairstyling – which is reportedly RM1,200 per pop – I can buy 60 more Zunar T-shirts (RM20 each).

Now everybody can golf

Anwar verdict splitting Malaysia in two

Irma, a reader of this blog, commented @ 2015/02/10 at 8:23 pm,

“If you read the trending tweets, about 80 per cent supporting Anwar and kutuk-ing govt seem to be non-Malays. Very seditious and racist comments, too. Also contempt of court. Let’s see if authorities act against them.”

This happens not only in Twitterverse but elsewhere too – in the social media (Facebook) and in blogosphere.

Lagi molek kalau bawa MCA pergi sekali

Berundur lah secara terhormat.

Pada pagi 9 Mac 2008, iaitu keesokan hari selepas berlangsungnya pilihanraya umum ke-12, Dr Mahathir pun ada cakap begitu, yakni membayangkan bahawa elok jika sang perdana menteri – ketika itu Abdullah Ahmad Badawi – meletak sahaja jawatan.
