Oh dear, I guess you can’t please everyone.
“BN Partyman” sent in this comment, which contains a none-too-subtle threat.
Dear Anil,
Your biased live coverage of the PP buy-election was disgusting to say the least. It seemed like the Barisan Nasional was non-existent in PP. The fact that more than 15,000 people voted for Arif Shah is testimony to BN’s popularity. If it were not for the rough house tactics of the PKR goons, more legitimate voters would have made it to the polling stations. You and your ilk ought to be detained under the ISA and the keys thrown away.
You are partisan, unfair, biased, and a false witness to the events in PP. Like the 31,000 odd who voted for Anwar, you are ungrateful for the development and progress wrought by the BN. Honestly ask yourself: Would you even own a laptop or even know how to use the Internet if not for the education that the BN gave you? Just like the other bloggers and commentators on the blogsites, you bite the hand that feeds you. You are despicable and so is Raja Petra and the likes of him.
When the BN government finally wipes out the Opposition from the face of this Earth, we’ll be coming after you and all of your ilk for the lies and ridiculous untrue propaganda that you spread to the innocent rakyat. Unfortunately it seems now that a large minority of the rakyat are stupid enough to pay attention to the lies of the Opposition. The BN will educate them very soon and I assure you it will be a painful lesson indeed.
BN Sakthi!!!
Perhaps this should be seen in the context of the following excerpt from a 14 August news report from Al Jazeera:
‘Irresponsible media’
“In the name of freedom, these websites allow the broadcast of slander, lies and swearing, the use of harsh, degrading language and racial slurs without regard for the reader or those concerned” Najib Abdul Razak, Malaysian deputy prime minister
On Tuesday Malaysia’s de facto law minister, Mohd Nazri Aziz, warned that it was “time to act” against what the government considers to be irresponsible or inflamatory blogging.Speaking in Malaysia’s parliament he said preventive detention laws could be used against bloggers who raise issues the government considers as being sensitive to Malaysia’s multi-ethnic, multi-religious population.His comments were echoed by Najib Abdul Razak, the Malaysian deputy prime minister, who told a gathering of the Malaysian Press Institute on Tuesday evening that the government was deeply troubled by the growth of what he called “irresponsible” alternative media.He said bloggers needed to exercise moderation in postings which discuss race and religion or risk official action.Webmasters and web journalists, he said, are not exempted from Malaysian laws.“In the name of freedom, these websites allow the broadcast of slander, lies and swearing, the use of harsh, degrading language and racial slurs without regard for the reader or those concerned,” the New Straits Times quoted him as saying.“Even though the government has been tolerant of anti-government positions and criticisms on the Internet, we are very concerned about statements that insult religion and reek of racism,” he added.The warning comes amid increasingly frank discussions on the internet of such hot-topic issues as Malaysia’s status as an Islamic state, allegedly unjust policies and political corruption.
Hi BN Sakthi,
Wish you didn’t cover under a pseudonym so that I could have addressed you better. All your euphoric egos (feeding shamelessly like a leech under the BN legs) is now as flat as a chappati. Must be real painful now; not knowing when the next free meal is coming! Yeah.
Talking about wiping out the Pakatan, please get your BN cohorts together first & see that BN does not disintegrate itself.

>”You are partisan, unfair, biased, and a false witness to the events in PP. Like the 31,000 odd who voted for Anwar, you are ungrateful for the development and progress wrought by the BN”
Wow. 31 000 people voting for opposition are all “ungrateful”?
Please be informed, foolish BN fanatic, that BN was ELECTED and PAID to do the job of “wrougting” development and progress. When the people you hired to do the job is not doing it properly any more, do you keep them or fire them?
Gratefulness is allocated for people who do a certain job for us, without being paid to do so. Hence, I would be right to say that I am GRATEFUL to ANIL for keeping us updated on the PP elections. Unlike RTM which is PAID to do such a job, but failed to do!
>”Honestly ask yourself: Would you even own a laptop or even know how to use the Internet if not for the education that the BN gave you? Just like the other bloggers and commentators on the blogsites, you bite the hand that feeds you.”
Honestly. We would properly own a faster internet connection if NOT for BN. Our children and students in Universities would have owned a better, more enlightened brain and mind if NOT for BN.
From the way this insulting fool is writing, it seems like he thinks BN is an Egyptian Pharoah, selected by the Gods themselves, to “feed”, “educate” and “clothe” us! Instead of simply being a political party, and for now, the nation’s government, whose very JOB is to do all three and much, MUCH more.
A government is FOR the PEOPLE. Not the other way around!

BN Sakthi,
You have the cheek to say that BN provided education for us to buy laptops? We have struggled through school that made everything harder in subjects in Bahasa Malysia. But we achieved superb results anyway. Then we had to lose applications to local Universities because they selected Bumiputras first, based on race, not merit. …
Then we buy property and 30% must be reserved for Bumi’s. And they get a 5% discount.
So back to your statement of how, without the BN, we’d never have the education to buy a laptop and use it, you are sorely mistaken. Anil got his laptop through his hard work, intelligence and perseverence, even though the odds were against him from the day he was born. Anil and people like him paid for your laptop. Not BN. You should thank him, not persecute him.

If a vocal senior UNMO party member (how many silent ones in his shadow) has loss confidence in its leadership so where do we non UMNO members stand, so Be eNd partyman, please make your stand!
By the way, do you Be eNd partyman have the opportunity to read the real history of Malaya and not the UMNO cooked up history version? Who were the people in the early days when the British were here that help to propup the country’s economy? So when the British left, the money that was left in the central bank and given to who? This money was left for the new born country to have its working capital. So who were the main contributors to wealth but who benefits the most?
So Be eNd partyman, look before you leap or more appropriately, shift in the gear in your brain before your braind can work or think lah. Otherwise, it will be like a motorcar engine, when you shift in the gear, the car can move. If you don’t it will make very loud noise only lah!
Please be more civilise and avoid giving threats like samseng,ok?
Anil and friend congrats for a job well done.

It’s funny that BN Sakhti is deaf, blind and dumb to the partisan, one-sided coverage of the by-elections by the mainstream media. Why is he criticizing Anil when he should be flailing the MSM especially Utusan and TV3?
But bloggers should beware that action may be coming to restrict blogsphere. The BN govt., having lost control of the flow of info has no choice as they will lose the next G.E. with the MSM now incapable of shaping public opinion.
This should be resisted at all cost. Bloggers should network and discuss contingency plans. Maybe going underground to blog? Anonymous bloggers are fine as blogs are judged by their content and not their personalities.

Therefore the present UMNO leaders may rightly be considered to be modern day Robin Hoods. So, again, how can the Malays possibly complain about the largesse being dished out to them without fear or favour?”
Modern day Robin Hoods!?? Hahaha… Friend, Robin Hood robs from the rich and gives to the poor. Your UMNO leaders…?
Are you stupid?

BN Sakthi, you should be greatful the people give BN the opportunity to govern for the last 51 years! For your degenerated infantile self, remember BN do NOT possess this country, the people do. May I ask who paid and continue to pay to finance BN’s grandiose and goofs? You? BN? Just how many of you in BN actually pay your tax and assessment? So we are suppose to be grateful for stupidly allowing BN parasites to become fat and rich from what is rightly that of the people. Where did BN get its money to fatten up themselves and their cronies? The people! So don’t go telling us how much we owe BN…if at all, it should be the reverse. It should be how much BN owe us the rakyat for the 51 years of access to country’s coffer. Shame on you for not even knowing the difference between the country and the government.

Anil, allow me to reply to this BN dog….
BN sakti …konon…..
1. Bias coverage, maybe… but why is it OK for your MSM, RTM, TV3 to be biased in favor of your corrupted masters????
2. Rought tactics by PKR goons? a few maybe I believe due to constant ….. sodomeee, arrest, DNA etc etc.. but I would believe they (could be) all your (people) infiltrating the opposition and wearing pkr uniform to give them a bad name…
For example, how come the the man caught in the photo strangling a journalist is never found or Idied? …
3. 15,000 vote for your Arif with a fake PHD? …
4. Most of us bloggers never got anything from your BN and UMNO.
My education is from my own hard work… saiful a failure can still get scholarship.
Until today, i am still paying for my study loan for my uni studies, even though i am a full blood bumiputra. …
I got 8 A’s in SPM, what did your saiful get?
I dont OWE anything to (the) govt, not a cent, but people like you are sucking my taxes everyday…
5. Wipe out opposition? ha ha ha ha… even your NAJIB been trying to please the opposition saying, proof of democracy alive, but you??
… you represent the dictators…

I am utterly disgusted by the action taken by MCMC to instruct all ISPs to block Malaysia Today !!!!!!
This is a blatant act of breaking the law. The mutltimedia act prohibits such digusting acts of curbing freedom of information and speech.
We must all rise to protest such cowardly acts. And cowardly it is for this is like a small boy throwing tantrums because someone took away his candy.
And I strongly believe in truth will always prevail. If there is no substance to any rumour, then one should not fear anything. Why the bloggers are posting all such so-called anti-government messages is that they are true. And because they are true, the government cannot find any means to refute them.
P/s thanks shamadz for the link.
