Important news you won't get from the main stream media!

1. Poll: 88% disagree with the Sultan

A survey conducted by Malaysiakini saw an overwhelming majority of readers disagreeing with Sultan Azlan Shah's decision in the transfer of power in the silver state.
A total of 34,617 out of 39,411 readers, or 87.8 percent said they were against the sultan's decision in the four-day survey which ended yesterday.

2. Vacant exco posts to lure Pakatan reps

BN is keeping four executive council (exco) posts vacant as bait to lure state assemblypersons from the Pakatan Rakyat to defect.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng mention that...

The previous government, whether BN or PR, had 11 Exco members including the menteri besar. Why only six (exco members) now...?"

Obviously it is use as a political reward to strengthen the position of the illegal BN (government) in Perak

How can six people handle all the tasks, especially when the world was facing an economic crisis??

3. Nearly 20,000 copies of Suara Keadilan seized
Suara Keadilan has become a 'hot target' for the Home Ministry because of its content on the political turmoil in Perak.

According to party information chief Tian Chua, the ministry has seized nearly 20,000 copies of the Feb 4-11 edition that had the frontpage headline: 'Perak cabar SPR ke mahkamah' (Perak challenges EC to court). At a press conference in the Suara Keadilan office in Brickfields today, he described the latest seizure of Suara Keadilan as the highest since the March 8 general election last year. He also foresees "trouble" for the newsletter's printing permit which will have to be renewed in April.

"PKR condemns the confiscation. People have a right to information and compare news against media organisations that are controlled by Barisan Nasional. "Maybe the news which we are publishing is making the ruling party uncomfortable.

Assistant marketing manager Marina Awanti Nordin said the seizure of Suara Keadilan last week occurred in at least 10 locations including Baling, Batu Pahat, Ampang and Kuching.

It is also learnt that the Home Ministry has issued warning letters to newspaper distributors in those areas not to sell Suara Keadilan.

PAS' bi-weekly newsletter Harakah has also faced the same fate and many copies were also seized in a few states after highlighting the political situation in Perak.

Distributors were warned not to sell the Harakah. Yesterday, the ministry confirmed that it had launched an operation to seize copies of Suara Keadilan and Harakah being sold to the public.

4.Why was no action taken when UMNO was disloyal to the Sultan?

What did Umno Youth do when Mahathir went on a road show to campaign for the removal of the royalty’s immunity? Wasn't he insulting the sultans?

Why didn't Umno Youth threaten to strip Pak Lah of his Datuk-ship or citizenship when he opposed the appointment of Ahmad Said as Trengganu's MB?

Why didn't Umno Youth claim that Pak Lah committed treason when he did not agree with the Raja of Perlis choice of MB? If Umno Youth want to take up a cause, they should first clean their own house first!

5. RPK's sedition trial: The investigating officer of the murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu case admitted that deputy prime Minster Najib Abdul Razak was not investigated even though he was an important witness.

This revelations of assistant director of the Interpol National Centre Bureau Gan Tack Guan did not come at the Altantuya murder trial. Instead he was a witness at the sedition trial of Raja Petra Kamarudin.

Gan was the one who lodged a police report on Raja Petra after reading the article on April 30. He is also the chief investigating officer in the murder trial of Altantuya. In his testimony, he agreed that Najib's name was mentioned in the said article and admitted that the deputy prime minister was an "important witness".

However Gan said that he had not investigated Najib despite him being an important witness.
"Najib was not interrogated because the police had dismissed his involvement in the case," said Gan.

WHY?! WHY!?!? WHY?!?!?

DO YOUR PART AS A RESPONSIBLE MALAYSIAN AND SEND THIS OUT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!

NEWS LIKE THIS WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY IN THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA!

What TV1,2 &3 will never show you!!

Zambry getting booed and jeered by "his" Perak people!!!

We knew that Zambry Abd Kadir was UMNO's choice since last July! Find out why!

I saw an article that was written about Umno's Zambry Abd Kadir, 47, who is Pangkor state assemblyperson. Apparently they had predicted that this guy was UMNO's choice (and not BN's choice) for Perak MB since last July!!The article is in BM so I translate and highlight certain points for those who are too lazy to go to the site to read lah!

1. Badawi supported Dr Zambri Abdul Kadir because he was one of the first person to nominate Khairy Jamaluddin to be Deputy Head of the UMNO Youth wing a few years ago and Khairy owe a lot to him.

2. BN will tell you that this guy had won his seat by a thumping majority of over 5000 votes.

However what they won't tell you is that that seat had about 10,000 "postal votes"!!!

This means without those postal votes this guy would have lost!!!!

3. According to PKR's Youth Head Dr Zambery was involved it over 18 bribery case.

For more accruate and indept information please go check it out yourself at the website!

Would we expect anything better from a BN candidate?!?!?

Future prediction on what will happen in Perak!

I am going to stick my head out and predict the future of the Perak Govt!

But before that I need to give 6 background facts to set up the scenario!

1. Two of the Keadilan's MP that jump over to BN's dirty money arms are Jamaluddin Mat Radzi (Behrang) and Osman Jailu (Changkat Jering).

BOTH OF THEM ARE CURRENTLY BEING CHARGE IN COURT FOR CORRUPTION!

Does anyone want to guess what their Feb 10 court case judgement will be?!?!?

2. Najib is probably the most unethical and hypocritical PM we will ever have!

The DPM earlier criticise PKR (saying it is immoral and we should respect the wishes of the Perak people) for attempting to ge MP's to crossover but when they them buy MP's over he says “What happened is God’s will and we are very grateful."!

WORST he then says (like a 5 year old boy!) that "We did not start this."

IF SOMEONE TRIES TO KILL YOU DOES THAT JUSTIFY YOU KILLING HIM?!?....

(or in this case, blowing her up!?!?)... Opps! We all know Najib answer right!?!

3. Do you notice that people in Malaysia go missing first before resurfacing and supporting BN?!?

Why all the mystery?!? Only evil is done in secret! Are these people threaten?! Blackmail?!? Bribe!?!? Anyway everybody knows what type of govt we have!!

4. Take a look at the following pictures! Does Hee look happy?!?! A face like that makes me wonder if there is a gun behind her back?!?

Can't even stand to look at the DPM when shaking his hands ah?!?... I don't blame you!

The only place I found where Hee smiled in the picture is in (surprise! surprise!!) The bias BN Star newspaper!!

5. BN still does not have a majority the official position is now 28 seats to both PKR and BN (plus another 3 independent!)
WHAT THE *&!@ is DOES "FRIENDLY INDEPENDENT "MEANS ANYWAY?!?
This is how Najib explained "Friendly Independent".... "(The three independents) would support BN in the state assembly. In the case where there is a need to vote on any issue in the state assembly, they would support us. Whatever we decide on they will support us and they will defend the BN state government."
HOW THE *!&@!*F@ is that "INDEPENDENT"?!?!?!
I take back what I said earlier....Syed Hamid is NOT the Biggest idiot in BN!


6. If the Sultan allows BN to take over the Perak govt... this would mean that the Perak govt will be run by 27 UMNO goons and 1 MCA slave! ...oh and probably 3 "unindependent"!!
This is a state that has almost half non-Malays!!! How is that representing the people?!?

SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW?!?!

1. Najib would not want a by-election if he can avoid it. He cannot afford another lost as the upcoming PM!

2. If the courts charge and convict the 2 "independent" MPs, a by election may happen as well and this will give PKR a chance to grab the majority! BN will not want that situation and thus !

3. Najib will know that he cannot maintain a Perak govt with such a very lopsided composition of MPs. Thus he will need time to bribe/threaten/blackmail more non-Malay MPs to come over to justify his mandate!

4. Thus most probably something will come up and delay the Feb 10 corruption case against the 2 independent! (This will buy Najib some time to find more frogs!) or the charges will not stick or at the most, even if they may be convicted but the conviction will not be strong enough to force them to vacate their seats!

5. We don't know if the Sultan has vested interest in either side but it is probably a safe bet that the Sultan will probably prefer not to rule on this situation if he can avoid it. Thus he might be in favour to delay his judgement till Feb 10 too see what happens!

HOWEVER I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT...

The Perak Sultan was formerly the lord president of the Supreme Court and wrote a book Constitutional Monarchy, Rule of Law and Good Governance in 2004.

In the book he wrote....

"Under normal circumstances, it is taken for granted that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong would not withhold his consent to a request for dissolution of parliament. His role is purely formal."
He also added that no sultan or agung had withheld consent to dissolve legislative body, except in Kelantan in 1977."

Unlike the Election Commission, lets just hope and pray that the Sultan will not go against his own writing!

'Najib promised RM50mil for defections'

I post this new up on my blog from Malaysiakini because the star newspaper is too busy reporting on people in Nilai needing a license to own a cat!!

Kuek Ser Kuang Keng Feb 2, 09 1:40pm
PKR Ipoh Barat division head Fauzi Muda has leveled the damning claim that Umno deputy president Najib Abdul Razak had tried last year to induce him to secure the crossover of two

Fauzi said he had been offered a total of RM50 million for his services and to pay off those he managed to convince, but that he had remained non-committal.While conceding that he has no concrete evidence to back his allegation, he nonetheless dared Najib (left) - also the deputy premier and deputy head of ruling coalition Barisan Nasional - to deny the claim. Reading from a three-page statutory declaration at a press conference in Ipoh this morning, Fauzi said a friend Suleiman Mansor, an ordinary member of Umno, had invited him to Kuala Lumpur on a business matter on March 11, 2008.

This was three days after the momentous general election that dumped BN out of the Perak government, and brought a Pakatan coalition into power, albeit with a slim majority of five seats.However, Suleiman took Fauzi to meet three men, “including former deputy defence minister Zainal Abidin Zin at the Jalan Duta toll plaza”.

“Thereafter, I was taken to Najib (Abdul) Razak’s residence in Putrajaya, where he tried to persuade me to lobby for the crossover of two PR assemblymen to BN,” said Fauzi.“I was promised RM50 million in return for my services and told that I would be allowed to allocate (part of) the money (to the asseemblypersons) as I wished.”Fauzi, however, did not name any representatives in the document or during the press conference. He would not distribute copies of the statutory declaration either.“Najib assured me that if I succeeded, the appointment of the menteri besar for Perak would be delayed.

However, I left his residence without making any promises as I feared for my safety.”He further claimed that Suleiman approached him once more last year, after PKR assemblypersons Jamaluddin Mat Radzi (Behrang) and Osman Jailu (Changkat Jering) were charged with corrupt practice.“I was told that if I succeeded in lobbying for their crossover, the charges would be dropped. But this time, the reward for their defection dropped to RM5 million per person. Again, I refused the offer.”‘Willing to meet Najib’Fauzi told the media that he intends to lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission today.

Commenting on the now-anticipated crossover by Jamaluddin and Osman, he expressed his suspicion that Umno has succeeded in pulling them out of Pakatan. When pressed as to why he had not lodged a report earlier, he said that rumours of BN attempting to manoeuvre the defections of Pakatan elected representatives had been rife since the general election.“I did not believe this would happen until the disappearance of Jamaluddin and Osman (since last week),” he said.

He noted, though, that he had previously brought up the matter with Pakatan leaders including Anwar Ibrahim.Fauzi, in challenging Najib to refute the allegations, said he is prepared to meet face-to-face with the latter over this.“As to why (BN) had chosen me to lobby for the defections, perhaps they thought I had close relations with them and that I am easily hooked…but they are wrong. I have my principles,” he said.“I also hope that what I have done today will benefit the state as well as the nation.

They will now know the evil political practices that our PM-in-waiting is capable of.”During the press conference, held at the PKR Perak headquarters, state party head Osman Abdul Rahman refused to comment on the brouhaha surrounding Jamaluddin and Osman or the legality of their resignation letters.

He would only say that both of them are still incommunicado.This morning, Perak assembly speaker V Sivakumar officially informed the state election commission chief of the vacancy of the two state seats.

Sivakumar had announced on Sunday that the seats became vacant after Jamaluddin and Osman tendered their resignation with immediate effect.Jamaluddin has, however, challenged the resignation letter, insisting that he has not stepped down and that he remains a state assemblyperson.

The Childish Politician!

Koh Tsu Koon came up with probably the most childish statement to date this year!!

The star reported that....
Gerakan president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon pointed the finger at the Pakatan Rakyat leadership, saying the “King of Frogs” started the whole affair.

“All this hopping started with Pakatan Rakyat back in April and we (Barisan Nasional) did not start it,” Dr Koh told reporters before attending the Chinese New Year Cultural and Heritage Celebration here Sunday.

“It was slightly over a month after the March 8 general election when they started to talk about getting people from Barisan to hop over.

“I think they started this whole process, which just went on and on. After that, I suppose some Barisan parties ended up saying ‘why not?’.


What this ExPenang CM is saying is .....just because they didn't start it, makes it alright for them to accept MP's that hop!

Doesn't matter that BN were condemning party hoppers just after the last march 8 election saying that it was unethical and immoral to hop!

I can't believe we had such a childish, lack of character, integrity and dignity person for chief minister of Penang for so many years!!

I am so glad he is out for good!!!

The MOST EXPENSIVE By-Election in Malaysia's history!

I took this section out of an article from RPK!
Very interesting reading!!

In the March 2008 general election, the opposition needed only 300,000 more votes to form the federal government. Therefore, if the postal votes had gone to the opposition, Barisan Nasional would have been out of power. To ensure that the postal votes remained with Barisan Nasional you succumbed to the threats and agreed to compromise on the IPCMC.
In that sense, Pak Lah, you are indirectly responsible for the continuing problem of police brutality. What the police are doing is your fault. This is a classic case of the tail wagging the dog and not the dog wagging the tail. Maybe you would like to reconsider your decision on the IPCMC and demonstrate to the nation that you, and not the police, are running this country.
While on the subject of the police, let it be known that the police managed to reduce Pakatan Rakyat's majority in the recent Kuala Terengganu by-election from more than 7,000 votes to a mere 2,631. And I have this on video if you would like to see the evidence. You know that the opposition's majority in the Kuala Terengganu by-election was much higher than 2,631. And I am sure this is troubling you to no end. And I am equally sure you know that this is because the people do not want Najib Tun Razak to take over as Prime Minister in March. As much as you may try to deny this you know I am spot on.

At 3.00pm on Polling Day, the police set up ten roadblocks and no one in town could get out nor those outside town could get in. Kuala Terengganu was totally cordoned off and the traffic jams were so massive that the town was reduced to a gridlock. I was arguing with the police at three different locations and, as I said, I have this on video. At one roadblock, when the police told me that this was 'arahan dari atas', I responded by saying that 'kalau orang atas bodoh dan kita ikut arahan tersebut maka kita juga bodoh'. You should have seen the police stare at me. They looked like they wanted to kill me.

By 4.00pm, voting almost ground to a halt and the 74% voter turnout troubled me. 74% was too low, and since the SPR had announced earlier that morning that the voter turnout was going to be 80%, I was worried that this would mean another 6% or so were going to be 'phantom voters'. True enough, an hour later, when polling ended, the voter turnout jumped to 81%. It was later 'adjusted' to 79%. This means 5% to 7% additional votes came in, although no one was voting any longer. This represents about 5,000 votes or thereabouts.

Say what you like, the opposition not only won the Kuala Terengganu by-election, but it won with a larger majority. And this was in spite of Najib and his wife campaigning fulltime in Terengganu and the RM500 million that was committed to the by-election effort. No doubt RM400 million was spent indirectly when Najib launched the special investment fund. Nevertheless, this RM400 million was still for purposes of the by-election and no one can deny this.

Mind you, the RM500 million is just my conservative estimate. It could be more. But it still makes the Kuala Terengganu by-election the most expensive by-election in Malaysian history and yet Barisan Nasional lost, whether it was by 2,631 votes or 7,631 votes. The police air-conditioned tents alone came to RM10 million. The food, at about RM50 to RM60 per day per person over three weeks, came to another RM10 million. Then there was the outstation allowance and so on. I estimate the cost of stationing 8,000 police personnel in Kuala Terengganu over three weeks at about RM25 million to RM30 million. And it could actually be more considering the normal 'leakages' in government expenditure.
Then there are the many free dinners and the RM300 to RM1,000 'Ang Pows' for the 80,000 or so voters. Even the press people received RM300 Ang Pows each, though none were offered to the Bloggers, for whatever reason I do not know.

Are you happy, Pak Lah, that Najib spent about RM500 million in the most expensive by-election in Malaysian history and Barisan Nasional still lost? How does this reflect on the confidence the people have in Najib? Do you know that the 'battle-cry' in the Kuala Terengganu by-election was the song 'Najib Altantuya Mongolia' sung to the tune 'When the Saints Come Marching in'? Young Malays from the kampong who you would least expect to know this 'Christian' song were singing this song. Yes, say what you like, the Kuala Terengganu by-election was not a by-election. It was a vote of no confidence against Najib. And it was the Malays who voted against Najib -- and young Malays at that, Malays from the kampong. Did not Musa Hitam and Ghafar Baba, both one-time Deputy Prime Ministers, say that Umno's strength is in the rural areas and that Umno needs to gain the support of the kampong Malays to stay in power? Well, the kampong Malays have spoken on 17 January 2009 in the Kuala Terengganu by-election. I am just not sure whether you heard them; that's all. If you did not then I am telling you now. The young Malays from the kampong have said no to Najib. Do you still want to ignore this message and doom Umno to the political graveyard?

There is much more I need to tell you but allow me to end my open letter here, for the meantime. I now need to go attend the PKR Chinese New Year open house in Klang and go hassle Anwar Ibrahim on this Anti-ISA thing that I want the five Pakatan Rakyat states to commit themselves to.

Till we talk again, take care, as there are many surrounding you with daggers drawn -- which makes Julius Caesar's predicament a picnic by comparison. Is it not ironical that in your present situation you can trust your enemies more than your friends? Anyway, once again,

Yours truly,
Raja Petra Al Haj Bin Raja Kamarudin
