Hero’s welcome: Speaker Sivakumar is mobbed by ordinary Perakians – Photos by Kinta Kid
The Perak Speaker acknowledges the crowd
Keeping alive the flame of democracy, justice and freedom (Click to expand photo)
Kinta Kid reports from the first anniversary commemoration of the Pakatan in Perak last night:
The commemoration took place at the Tow Boo Keong Hall, a venue that actually has two halls separated by a temple in the centre. One of the halls was fitted with projectors for live viewing of the action from the main hall. The crowd was estimated at over 5,000 with the majority of them Chinese.
All the top guns were there such as ‘MB yang sah’ Nizar and Lim Kit Siang. But the hero of the night undoubtedly was the honourable Speaker V Sivakumar, the man who gave the country its Pokok Demokrasi after an emergency sitting of the Perak State Assembly was held beneath a raintree on 3 March 2008. Clearly appreciative of this person, the crowd in the hall rose and burst into applause as he arrived.
Throughout the night, the speeches carried the same theme: calls for a fresh election, Najib being the one behind the defections and why he should not be the next PM. The sentiment felt throughout the night was that the rakyat – at least those who were present – still want Pakatan in office. You could see it on their faces when they responded to the speeches whether made by the DAP, Keadilan or Pas speakers.
Lim Guan Eng was to arrive at around 11.00pm but I had left by then.

Well done, PR and the Mr. Speaker.
All Perakians must unite together and flush N and his hooligans gang members…
Yes, the people do not forget easily, yes the people are more demanding, yes, the people want justice.
To N and gangs, Kuli and Zaid have said the words, the people will get back what has been taken by you and your gangs…

Very stylishly done Mr Speaker of Perak, and so inspiringly too, so with respect, I think it’s time for a well-deserved BRAVO!
And my hat’s off to you in recognition of your learned and professional, and IMO correct, application of the wide constitutional powers vested in that classy hat which only a legitimate Speaker of a lawfully elected Legislative Assembly of the People has the privilege of donning and the right of flexing.
And the Democracy Trees are a GREAT idea and sure to be PR vote-winners, so could we please have more of such types of uplifting and smart good team acts please.
And IMO, you, Mr Sivakumar, and MB Nizar make one helluva team!

Guys,
Don’t comment based on hatred, but on fairness. We must base our ideals on truths. It’s nothing to do with her going about in a Merc, in fact, you see Mercs quite a lot anyways. There could be many reasons, she could have well worked really hard to own one, or could be owned by someone else in her family, etc. Lets not jump to conclusions
Nevertheless, I do not agree with politicians jumping parties while keeping their post as representatives of the people. There should be practices against such thing, rules of the game to regulate such actions. There is no reason why one can’t change to another party if he/she doesn’t believe in the ideals being championed by the party anymore, that is fair. But if one has the intention to switch their allegience, the honourable thing to do would be to step down as a representative of the people he/she represent as the people may not share his/her views. He/she can stand for re-election for the new party if he/she wishes, and get revoted in if the people are with him/her.
I am not a perakian (although I was borned there), but I think the people of the respective areas should call upon their representatives who have switched parties to do the honourable thing, to step down first and stand for election for the new party if they so wish.
We shouldn’t be absorbed with endless mind games, its just a waste of time, our hard earned income that goes to tax, and our mental health.
Sivakumar, you have my respect but remember to uphold integrity and be fair to all.

Whats happening in Perak & Malaysia is a wake up call to all Malaysians.For the sake of our Children and future generations, how we UNITE as Malaysians to shape what type of society we leave them will determine the type of Government & Society they will inherit.
For too long people have kept quiet -just imagine if ALTANTUYA case did not come to light…..the Crooks stealng the Country’s wealth under or nose and getting away with murder as well !
It stinks to high heaven to think Razak Baginda is now in London living in a multi million home … Justice Malaysia style !
Remember & do not forget the following:
UTHAYA (now in ISA ) & WAYTHAMOORTHY( now in exile in London ) both brothers being separated from their loved ones esp.their children, being punished for highlighting the plights of Indians being tortured & murdered under police custody -while the guilty cops all are still walking free !
KUGAN -tortured & terribly killed under police custody
(Other) Indians died in similar way in police custody
Balasubramaniam- Private Investigator now missing after his Statutory declaration concerning NAJIB TUN RAZAK DPM & ALTANTUYA
RAJA PETRA who revealed the true Altantuya story
PERAK CRISIS-where bribes are (allegedlly) used to lure pakatan rakyat ADUNS/MPs
and all the discrimination policy of Umno etc etc
Good to see the Chinese coming forward to support CHANGE !
Hidup Reformasi ! Ketuanan Rakyat !
Hidup Keadilan-Pas-Dap untuk ERA BARU untuk Semua !

Dear Supporters & Sympathisers
As many of you are aware , Malaysia is going through rapid changes in it’s political landscape since the March 08 Elections .. We , the Overseas Malaysians have been watching these events with great interest and enlightened that the new generation Malaysians have reached a level in matured Politics whereby the very basis of healthy debate has been restored to our Parlimentary system arising from the 82 opposition Lawmakers in the current Malaysian Parliament
With this in mind and to provide an insight into the latest political developments in Malaysia , Yang Amat Berhormat , Encik Tony Pua , the Pakatan MP for PJ Utara , is happy to meet fellow overseas Malaysians in a Question and Answer session at the above venue . The event will be held at the conference room between 3.30pm to 5.30pm .. As we need to organise the catering and light refreshments , confirmation of attendance must be finalised by the 11th March 2009 .. .
We sincerely hope that it will be a pleasant afternoon for all and we look forward to a good turnout …
Thank You
Warm Regards

Anil,
Thank you for the update.
YB Sivakumar, YB Dato’ Seri Ahmad Nizar & All the Defenders of Truth, Justice, Equality, Human Rights & Freedom for All Anak Bangsa Malaysia….
You have all done everything that is “Humanly” possible, but “Do Not” give up the fight & struggle….
God Almighty “Hears & Feels” the Call, the Pain & the Despair of the downtrodden rayaat.
Remember “What goes round, will come round to these Desperate UMNO…” – Past, Present & Future.
The “Opressors” will “FAIL” & God Almighty will ensure “Justice” will be done.
Do keep up your “Prayers” to God Almighty in your own way& faith for “Sanity, Human Rights, Justice, Freedom, Equality & Peace to “Prevail” over “EVIL”
Devine Intervention works Wonders.
John Quincy Adams:
“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”
….AND MIRACLES APPEAR !
May God bless, guide & protect this great nation, its remaining assets & its Anak Bangsa Malaysia forthwith.
Makkal Sakhti.

Hi every body!!
Many things happen lately that challenges the credibility of each individuals. Say and do anything u want, but all that matters is how you are remembered!!
To the BN camp, u have acted most ruthles, corrupt, total disregard to democrasi, total disrespect to the people and all that can equall to evil, …., idiot , stupid, bodoh, and so on…
To PKR camp, bravery, courtesy, abiding law, determination, righteous, unity, charity, transparency and the list goes on..
YB siva kumar, YB nizar and other, be assured that even ur grandchildren will be so proud that they are born to your blood.
They will be respected and and enjoy the family name.
How ever for the frogs family and the bully from pangkor and his gang. even ur children cant face their friends at school… Your greed has put ur family in such an embarassing situation. So how much do you actually love ur family??
Money cant buy every thing la… we are malaysian still very much living by the heart and believe ur bad action does not end at ur grave but carries on thru ur generation.
So, how would you like to be remembered???

All Pakatan ADUN for PERAk , Firstly I salute for the courage and committment. As a Hindu Vedic Astrologer I have predicted that whatever you have done to the rakyat will be bless in double soon. Perak will become a respectable state under the governance of pakatan. That will happen after Jupiter transit to Aquarius in Dec 2009.
Bravo MB Nizar and YB Siva. Keep up the true spirit.
