Pak Lah, please lah, enough lah!

During the campaign period in the 2004 General Election, Barisan Nasional spearheaded by the newly appointed Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi crushed oppositions with a landslide victory with a 92% seats in the Parliament.
His infamous slogan are like "Work with me, not for me" and "It’s time for you Chinese community to have a Justice Bao".
I was so impressed and I thought, I have no other way but to concur with him, hence I decided to give this Pak Lah a chance and voted him in Kepala Batas parliamentary seat. Yes, you’re absolutely right, I was born and grew up in the same hometown as Pak Lah and I’m here to confess my sin that I voted him in 2004!
Probably that was my first time and being a naive teenager, I was harboring mountain high hopes towards the new administration with new bloods and so bloody convinced (I swear!) that he is going to be the one to bring this country to a greater height, surpassing every achievement accomplished by his predecessor Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and rectifies the many wrongs in the previous administration.
Unfortunately, as we’re drawing closer to the year 2008, which is more than 4 years after the unprecedented feat, it’s already bad enough that we’re not moving forward, we’re indeed experiencing retrogressive progress!
Talk about corruption, talk about cronyism, talk about transparency in governance, talk about judicial independence, talk about human rights, talk about global competitiveness, talk about inflation, talk about public safety and I mean, you can really talk until the cows come home and you’re still talking about what he should have done but unfortunately, that’s not the ideal case that you’d have expected from him after plethora of promises made.
Bad? Just when you think it’s bad enough that he (the PM) is not going to be that bold in this coming GE, he caught me with surprise (not sur about you) when openly asking for support and promises not to disappoint anyone who support him, seemingly oblivious and unfazed by his lousy administration.
I’d say this latest confession by Pak Lah is a historical moment and is absolutely an unforgettable one, hence would love to give him maximum fanfare as well as to ensure that no one is going to miss the great article with the header "PM: I won’t disappoint the people" as published by The Star on 18 December 2007 (Tuesday).

My conclusion? The greater responsibility he is going to have, the more disappointed you’re going to be.
Don’t say that I’m not giving you my final caveat.

Tooooooooooooooooo late, he had already disappointed many many people.
AAB has lost any credibility he may have once had, he is beyond his depth, and is talking absolute rubbish.
The racial tensions have been manufactures by the government, especially UNMO.
UMNO & BN to have lost all credibility, they never had very much to start with, but even that has vanished.
The voters will send BN a very strong message in the next GE, wait and see.

The question is, how are we going to counter all his lies? The umno comtrol medias and tv are at his disposal to spread these lies.
How many people have access to the internet and how many of these people get to know about these online alternate news. The volume is so small that umno is not too worried about it.
What we need to start now is person to person approach. We need to counter all his lies to as many people as we can and these people to others.
Looks like Malaysian are going to be conned again this coming GE.
May GOD help us.

We are so deeply disappointed that such words from Pak Lah no longer means anything. It’s incumbent on him and the government he leads to bikin serupa cakap. We don’t need more empty promises. He had so many years of opportunity to show us how he would carry out his election promises but…everyone knows the history already lah!

I was about to write something witty, but Pak Blah’s just not worth the effort. Liar and hypocrite.
Let’s just throw him and BN out at the coming election. Spread the word.

[…] 3 days ago Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi asking for another 5 years with more responsibilities is a joke, what about when the Indian minister S Samy Vellu vows to […]
