Hartal call by Pakatan in Perak? Hmm, just like the old commie days in S'pore

Riots in Singapore...hartal?
This was just what the communist controlled trade unions in Singapore did to stabilise the island state before it attained independence.

Calling for hartal (stop  work, protests, demo and even riots) had always been the trademark of communist agitation...and today this threat rears its ugly head, courtesy of Pakatan in Perak.

Read on:

"As Pakatan Rakyat gears up for its final battle for Perak in court tomorrow, calls from the public for the dissolution of the state assembly have resurfaced once again.

The Perak People's Action Committee, an NGO clearly aligned to Pakatan today handed over a memorandum to the Perak BN government urging for a return to 'democracy' to the people through state elections or face negative repercussions.

They gave BN until Aug 8 to seek dissolution of the assembly or a statewide hartal would be held.

"During this day, the people of Perak will not engage in any outside activity. We will not go to work, our children would not go to school and we will show BN that the majority of Perak folk want justice returned to them," said committee coordinator R. Mohanarani."

Where people power ends and institutional power begins (on behalf of the people)

Democracies that are entrenchedly rooted to the Rule of Law, are Nations of Laws, not of Men.

It is the Assembly and not the who people determine who becomes MB by giving/withholding support.

So, by going back to the people against the wishes of the majority ADUN, who were, invariably elected by the people during an officially convened election, naturally transgresses the right and role of the Assembly, who were mandated to represent the people.

There has to be a demarcation of sorts as to where the people play their part and where it ends when they surrender their mandate into the hands of their duly elected representatives. The people have a chance to elect their constituency representative every five years, or earlier if the good Sultan agrees.

And this is clearly entrenched within the Constitution, which says it is the Royal Prerogative. Henceforth, To force the Sultan to agree is to deny him his constitutional discretion.

I believe We must accept supremacy of laws over groups of people to be safely anchored as a nation based on laws.

And let us not forget there is an orderly way for the people to legislate law. Disorderliness is equal to anarchy, and anarchy begets lawlessness and misery.

Agenda licik seorang moderate

 

Anwar Ibrahim seorang 'moderat,' tetapi menjadi seorang moderate amat berbahaya.

Lebih mudah berurusan dengan seseorang yang ghairah melaungkan mesej-mesej radikal, tetapi tidak mempunyai sebarang keupayaan politik atau intelek untuk menterjemahkan segala radikalisme itu menjadi dasar. Juga mudah untuk memburuk dan menjatuhkan seorang yang radikal daripada menahan penularan pengaruh intelek yang dipunyai seorang moderat.

Dengan latar belakang radikal dan persona moderat masakini, dan pada umur menjangkau 60an, Anwar dengan segala muslihatnya mewakili satu kemampuan hebat untuk membawa Malaysia ke arah apa yang ditafsirkannya sebagai kebebasan sosial, ekonomi dan kemerdekaan. Apakah CIA inginkan seorang ahli politik sebegitu untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia?

Konspirasinya ialah supaya Anwar ditunggang terlebih dahulu bagi memastikan yang lain-lainnya akan turut serta.

Menyorot hasil di dua bukit...

ha

Jangkaan awal pengundi Cina akan berpaling kepada BN tidak berlaku.

Apa yang terjadi pengundi Cina di Bukit Gantang sebaliknya membelakangkan BN. Hanya 10 peratus pengundi Cina mengundi calon BN sementara baki 90 peratus lagi mengundi Nizar dan Pakatan.

Apa yang perhatikan parti-parti komponen BN, iaitu MCA dan Gerakan perlu mengkaji dengan mendalam apa yang berlaku. Jika Bukit Gantang dapat digunakan sebagai pengukur, pengundi Cina telah hampir sebulat suara menolak mereka!

Dalam pada itu statistik yang sama menunjukkan bahawa pengundi Melayu yang memilih BN sebenarnya telah bertambah...oleh itu, kita sama-sama tengok siapa yang menolak siapa di sini...

To the Chinese Media: hello, be more responsible...

The mainstream Chinese press should be more responsible ...avoid playing devil's advocate over certain issues.

What was said by Datuk Hishamuddin was totally taken out of context.

What he said was in relation to education reforms and the re-aligning of history as a subject – about rukun negara, position of Malay rulers as the pillars of the nation, which should be instilled in our children if they are to keep their identities and be aware of their roots. UMNO fought for all that!

Hishamuddin NEVER denied the contribution of MCA, MIC or the other races!

History is a fact that he cant change...

This is what Datuk Hishamuddin Tun Hussein wanted to say.

Before anyone tries to preempt a follow up reeport in tomorrows news...fall back on this little piece, sans colours and sensation...for heaven's sake...

Apa di sebalik anugerah Ambiga daripada Hilary Clinton?

Dipetik dari Lenggong Valley

Yang nyata, jika tiada perpaduan Melayu, tidak akan wujud perpaduan nasional walaupun kaum India dan kaum Cina bersatu.

Mereka merangkumi 40% daripada keseluruhan jumlah penduduk negara ini.

Kita tidak mungkin dapat menilai sesuatu yang baik sehinggalah kita kehilangannya...tetapi apa gunanya?

Hanya bangsa Melayu yang kuat dan bersatu akan dapat memastikan negara Malaysia yang stabil, dan seterusnya mewujudkan kesejahteraan untuk semua. Inilah satu-satunya hakikat yang nyata dan benar dalam politik Malaysia....tanpa ini segala keamanan dan kehidupan berharmoni yang dikecapi (walaupun ada yang menafikannya) akan menjadi sia-sia.

Apakah orang Melaayu dan UMNO menyedari hakikat ini? Kini tidak mahu lihat apa yang berlaku di Iraq dan di Fiji terjadi di Malaysia.

Dalam pada itu kita juga tidak boleh mengambil ringan segala usaha 'counter productive' oleh anasir-anasir asing untuk "melatih" dan "menghasut" beberapa kumpulan dalam masyarakat Malaysia supaya kononnya menerapkan demokrasi 'sebenar,' iaitu demokrasi yang berteraskan ideologi pasca-penjajahan Barat.

Dan kita juga berasa takjub kenapa dengan tiba-tiba bekas Presiden Bar Council diberi pengiktirafan oleh Hilary Clinton yang baru tiga bulan memegang jawatan Setiausaha Negera Amerika?

Apakah Elizabeth Wong atau Teresa Kok akan menyusul sebagai penerima anugerah lain oleh Amerika atau negara sekutunya di atas persepsi "keberanian" dalam usaha mereka untuk membebaskan kita?

 

Eli’s Coming...

From Lenggong Valley

ELI's COMING...that's a 60s song by Three Dog Night.

The lyrics go something like, "...walk but you'll never get away...no, you'll never get away from the burning a-heartache..."

News has it that Elizabeth Wong is on her way back and that the Selangor Speaker gave her permission to not attend the assembly, while Khalid said he had the discretion to extend her leave!

What gives? Its a waste of tax payer's money and a treachery to her oath of office as state assemblyman...

Just look at the state of affairs in Bukit Lanjan...dangerous potholes on the roads, trees overgrown with rotted branches precariously awaiting to seek out a victim, inadequate pedestrian lanes, clogged drains, mosquitos and dengue statistics climbing fast...and on top of all these, the representative elected by the people to address the woes is away nursing her battered and bruised heart caused by an antagonised paramour?
