Chua Soi Lekannounced his resignation as the deputy president together with seven of his supporters in the central committee, in a move that will pave the way for fresh party polls.
Earlier, vice president Liow Tiong Lai led a team of 12 other CC members who resigned last December in a bid to push for fresh party polls.
With the new total of 21 resignations, or two-thirds of the central committee, it will now be enough under the MCA Constitution to trigger new elections which must be held within a month.
All hail the porn star, he is indeed a master tactician, after taking a free ride on MCA president Ong Tee Keat’s back.
The entire scenario merely proves that, in politics, regardless of the dire situation you’re in, patience is virtue and this is exactly one of the main character which Liow must learn to master if he intends to move up the rank within the party for many years to come, provided that he is not being power greedy and MCA remains one of the vital partner in the BN coalition.
In conclusion: CSL quits. OTK screwed. MCA kaput.
Nevertheless, doesn’t matter if this is for the party or their own self-interest, as far as I’m concerned, it’s definitely not in the interest of all anak bangsa Malaysia who happened to be borned as a Chinese in this country, who have stopped supporting the party since ages ago, besides feeling really ashamed by this ugly episode.
Bagan Serai member of parliament Mohsin Fadzli Samsuri has today announced his decision to quit PKR to become an Independent MP, as reported by Malaysiakini.
He decided to leave the party over his disagreement on the party’s stand on the ‘Allah’ issue.
“In the name of Allah, I would like to announce my resignation from PKR,” said Mohsin.
Here it goes, another piece of rubbish throwing itself into the dustbin over petty matter, or should I say, an excuse for more prosperity on another side?
Despite the current exodus of some disgruntled MPs from PKR and bleak future painted by mainstream media, the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) marches on.
First of all, the spring cleaning didn’t take place before the Chinese New Year as I urged the low quality MPs to quit by themselves without much fanfare for the media to speculate.
However, despite continuous plea from the public, they were so determined to carry on until right after the Chap Goh Meh last Sunday, from there on, that’s when the rubbish starting to throw themselves into the bin.
The controversial former Penang deputy CM Mohd Fairus Khairuddin, who is not performing and being labeled as a “sleepyhead” by his fellow colleague in the state executive council Abdul Malik Kassim, led the pack to quit PKR to join Umno and being welcomed by the Umno president Najib Tun Razak.
Later, the Nibong Tebal MP Tan Tee Beng announced that he was quitting PKR to be an independent frog like Bayan Baru MP Zahrain Hashim because PR had not addressed his complaints and turned a blind eye when he was criticised by DAP leaders, especially Penang deputy chief minister II P Ramasamy and Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi.
While we’re awaiting for the next one to jump ship, however I wouldn’t be surprised if those infamous MPs from PKR to quit soon and the moment all of these self-serving and underperformed MP quit for good, that would be the day for all of us to celebrate a new milestone achieved, projecting a more cohesive PR front to embrace the new challenge in the mission to capture Putrajaya next.
Secondly, I would like to applause the DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang for pledging his undivided support for Anwar Ibrahim to remain as Parliamentary Opposition Leader and Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) choice for prime minister even if the number of PKR representatives falls below that of the DAP.
“I think there is no change in Pakatan and the PKR despite the present developments. [...] I will not even talk about that,” said Kit Siang.
In another statement, all 51 MPs and 5 senators from DAP and PAS declared “wholehearted” support for Anwar as opposition leader and prime minister-designate for PR.
I’m absolutely heartened by this friendly gesture within the PR, a strong evidence to show that the PR remain intact and it’s at challenging times like this, a strong coalition will continue to evolve in becoming a prominent and well-respected force to mount challenge against BN in the next GE.
I would be watching very closely as the Umno president Najib Tun Razak for the very first time said he would leave it to party members to decide if action should be taken against the party veteranTengku Razaleigh Hamzah for continuing his campaign against the federal government over Kelantan’s oil royalties claim, as reported by The Malaysian Insider.
Ku Li, being a veteran who has been with the party for decades, if his short stint with Semangat 46 wasn’t counted before he returned to Umno recently seen reconciled with his old nemesis Tun Mahathir, has been the conscience of Umno since then, refusing to leave the party and vowed to fight from within to reform Umno, only if he has his ways.
However, I believe the prince, hailed from the Kelantan royal family, is not perturbed. He has since been speaking against many policies and even appeared in a function organised by the PAS-led Kelantan state government to explain to state’s oil royalties claim, declaring that the federal government must pay Kelantan the oil money owed to the state, claiming that even though all of the oil found in Malaysia was located more than three nautical miles offshore, Petronas had nevertheless been making oil payments to various states, or to be exact, BN-controlled states, such as Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak.
It was only yesterday when Ku Li slammed Najib administration for acting like a “Godfather” in refusing to pay oil royalties to the state, causing discontent within Umno with Umno deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin even questioning his loyalty to Umno over the matter.
With this, I’m here, on behalf of many Malaysians out there, would like to clamor Umno to expel Ku Li from Umno, just like how it was done towards the former minister in the PM department Zaid Ibrahim by showing him the exit, which will certainly help to facilitate a smooth transition for Ku Li to join PR without the risk of being seen as betraying his own party.
I’m truly impressed with the Information, Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim.
Being a proven internet idiot who understands nuts about internet and worse thing, being made the minister to be in charge of that segment, if I’m the PM Najib Tun Razak, I would be going crazy all the time for being cornered due to his own negligence to appoint Rais as the minister in charge of “information and communication”.
Today, Rais did it once again, living up to this reputation as a walking fool, about to be placed in the National Museum as one of the historical item when he openly supports a call that Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim should relinquish the Opposition leader’s post as he is facing a sodomy trial.
“From the rule of law and basic rights considerations, whether one is a member of parliament, a cabinet minister and a civil servant, one should resign. [...]
“A suggestion that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should do likewise not only fulfil the legal consideration but also the principles behind his struggle as he had been advocating social justice and a civil society.”
Oh really?
He must be over-impressed with his own-self to make himself believe that he is influential enough and an astronomical figure to call for the resignation of Anwar as the Opposition Leader.
Honestly, who the h*** he thinks he is? :)
Instead of continuing to put himself to shame, he should instead embrace the new media and learn a bit or two from his former boss way back during the era of Semangat 46 Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang, when both of them engaged in a lively debate via the micro-blogging site Twitter on various issues, from the Kelantan’s oil royalties claim to the “Allah” controversy.
I would like to wish all Anak Bangsa Malaysia who happened to be a Chinese a fruitful and prosperous year 2010!
Let’s put more effort into nation building, strive our best to forge an enhanced inter-racial relationship amidst the fragile bonding and focus on our mission to reclaim our stake in a prosperous and a Malaysia for all dream.
BTW, if you haven’t watched Woohoo, the first ever locally produced CNY film, you should bring your loved one to do so with you. I honestly think that it’s a nicely done film, with the message the movie tries to convey, which is about appreciating your loved one, truly fascinated me with the scarce resource being made available to the production team, as well as the various obstacles the team faced throughout the making of the movie.
Hats off to these bunch of passionate film-makers!
Again, by the way, if I’m not mistaken, the movie will be de-listed from the cinema on the 4th day of CNY (i.e. 17th February), so, be quick, be there or be square!
Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai, wooooooooohooooooooooooooo, huattttttt ahhh!!!
A few days ago, the Penang Malay Chamber of Commerce (DPMPP) president Rizal Faris Mohideenexpressed his regret and disappointment that his national leadership met up with Penang CM Lim Guan Eng yesterday night for a dialogue on the ongoing flare-up between the DPMPP and Lim’s administration.
He called Lim a liar, dictator, political reject and hypocrite among other names, vowed to fight Lim to the end for discriminating against Malays.
“The demonstration last Friday was just a small step and we will mobilise other NGOs at the national level to end his tyranny and violence against Malays in Penang. We won’t let them come into our homes and molest our wives and children and we will fight back. If we do not nip this parasite in the bud, he will worsen.” [...]
“We do not want another Kampung Rawa incident in Penang and I fear for my Chinese and Indian friends if that were to happen. Two years after taking over and despite repeated calls from us, he has turned a deaf ear to the plight of Malays in the state.” [...]
His statement irked me completely, as it contains seditious remark which is trying to stir racial hatred among the communities.
As a community leader, he should be more responsible when expressing his opinions and views, justifying the allegation with facts and proofs instead of putting the racial harmony on the line, which is totally uncalled for especially when Chinese New Year is just around the corner.
By now, Lim’s political secretary Ng Wei Aik held a press conference to demand Rizal withdraw the remarks within three days or face police reports citing him for sedition, as reported by Malaysiakini.
“He is fanning racist sentiments. He is trying to instigate another (Kampung Rawa) incident. We will not compromise,” he said.
If PM Najib Tun Razak is so serious about his 1Malaysia campaign by trying to woo more Chinese and Indian voters into the BN fold, he should urged the Home Ministry to take action against the culprit, by charging him under the Seditious Act to show that he means business and not allowing certain minority group to jeopardize the racial harmony.
It’s time to prove to the people that there is indeed only a single set of law which is applicable to everyone in this country, let’s not continue to deprive our right by gaining some cheap political mileage on the expense of the social harmony in this country.
Let’s live up to the expectation of people first, justice delayed is justice denied.
Rumors are rife that the PKR Gang of 4 are about to make major announcement to defect, as reported by Malaysiakini.
The Gang of 4 believed to be headed by the Bayan Baru MP Zahrin Mohd Hashim and the rest of the gang consist of Nibong Tebal MP Tan Tee Beng, Kulim-Bandar Baru MP Zulkifli Noordin and more recently, Wangsa Maju MP Wee Choo Keong.
As of now, all of them denied earlier they would leave the party and remains loyal to the cause and principle of PKR, with the most scathing remark came from Zahrin and Choo Keong, who threatened to sue Penang state government chief-of-staff Jeff Ooi for his misinterpreted remark that Choo Keong was among those who’re about to quit PKR soon.
The thing is, many of us are really sick of it, hence my advice to these infamous gang, please defect immediately, if not as soon as possible. Procrastinate no more and save us the hassle, as what the people really need is MPs who are dedicated to serve the constituents, not useless MPs who are busy politicking, fighting for more power and crying like babies in the public.
Come on guys, be a decisive frog like Hee Yit Foong, not a coward doing backstabbing.
Three constitutional questions were posed for the Federal Court’s decision:
1) A proper interpretation of Article 16(6) of the Perak constitution under which a menteri besar can advise the sultan to dissolve the assembly – what if there is no motion of no confidence against the MB and he refuses to resign?
2) Can the sultan determine if a menteri besar commands the confidence of the majority of the House without a vote in the assembly?
3) Does the state constitution allow the sultan to sack a menteri besar, or is the position is deemed vacant if he chooses not to resign?
In a 5-0 ruling, the Federal Court rules unanimously to dismiss ousted MB Nizar Jamaluddin’s appeal and declares Zambry Abdul Kadir is the legitimate MB.
The five-man panel of judges comprised Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Alauddin Mohd Sheriff, Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Arifin Zakaria and Justices Datuk Zulkefli Ahmad Makinuddin, Datuk Mohd Ghazali Mohd Yusoff, and Datuk Abdull Hamid Embong also ruled that a vote at the state assembly was not necessary to determine whether Nizar still enjoyed the support of the majority of the state lawmakers.
