Nice article, except for the random attack on young people at the end. Is that cultural here, blaming the dog when you break wind? Malaysia’s problems didn’t spring up with your teenage son’s acne. It’s the result of decades of the kind of indolence that would impress any perpetually exhausted adolescent.
Sell Out Crowd or Sold Out Patriotism at the Stadium?
At least RM900,000 of tax payer money spent needlessly.
Just for propaganda purposes: to give the impression to the gullible that there is widespread support for the BN side just before the Perak State Assembly meeting held recently.
All I know is..half the crowds are school kiddos with flags with instruction. They were paid RM10.00 each. My nephew was stop by his parent to attend. He claimed all his school mates were eager to attend with the perks of RM10.00.
How much goodies have they have been offered or are they going there for the delcious food hahaha and the most probable is that UMNO & BN have to call upon their members to make up the crowd. What is 40,000 when it cannot even be compared to Andy Lau & the 4 kings, Beyonce etc etc…..hahaha… Zero KPI 1 Malaysia
We seemed to be 1 as far as greed is concerned. It is well-known amongst the rakyat that rent-a-crowd had been BN/umno’s modus operandi for years now.
The fact that najib has a bigger crowd appetite shouldn’t surprise anyone. His almost desperate attempt at building positive image of himself and umno is a sign of things to come. Much is seen and heard and very little will be done as far as good governance is concern. The rakyat will continue to pay for the incompetence of BN/umno until it hurts and then hopefully the rakyat will wake-up.
The last days of all rulers are fill with all this event to boast themself. The people around will give false hope to the ruler as events are made to make money to the cronies who are in deniale mood and who are dangerest …
For me, sure attend, (if) got free gifts….take lar free gift, drink free water. Government already tax you already…this is time for you to take something back. (If) makan free…who don’t want?
(Someone) didn’t get the name ‘Snake Oil Gambir Salesman’ for nothing. That’s what he’s best at – (allegedly) renting a crowd at tax-payers’ expense!
I just puzzled why many people oppose 1Malaysia concept. Perhaps they want 1Taliban that possibly introduced by PAS, so that these PR supporters will like it (because it is introduced by PR component party)
Gerakan K, How many country named Malaysia in this planet earth??? only 1 Malaysia. so what so special about the slogan???? Most important is the actions and sincerity of the BN govt in association with this slogan??? We see none. Go ask the Perakians and they will tell you go fly a big 1Malaysia Kite.
Nobody oppose 1Malaysia but we do want to be deceived by Najib on this idiotic slogan. Its just that some idiot like Gerakan K are so ignorant that they do not realise that UMNO & Najib (may) go to the extend of having Hudud law and 1 Taliban by trying to entice PAS into their fold for unity talk. Repeat again for this dumb fellow GK… “`Najib said we are in Unity talk with PAS for religious and not political purpose.““ GK, KTK, LKY and Gerakan (appear) willing to sell their soul for an Islamic State. Lim Keng Yaik said we are an Islamic Country but a different one. How different, its still an Islamic state. They dare not retort back to tell Najib, Mahathir or Abdullah, we are a SECULAR COUNTRY which is a fact as based on the Constitution. And they shivers and kept quiet when 15,000 bibles were confiscated. …..Thats GK 1Malaysia……
DAP, LKS, LGE dare to tell their coalition partner PAS, no to Islamic state and hudud law. Karpal Singh said over my dead body. PKR do not agreed.
CAN YOU DO THAT GERAKAN K !!!!!. before you open your … mouth.
No one opposes unity of all Malaysians.However when it comes to 1Malaysia,please get it in your head that it is only an empty slogan trumpeted by someone who for some reason will not visit Mongolia.
Gerakan K
Good idea!Lets have “1Gerakan Ko” (Ko as in knocked out). Sure get alot of support
Why waste your time with Gerakan K, let us proceed with our agenda towards working for non racial politics and to really be proud to be associated with Malaysia, our proud nation.
Let us together celebrate with a dawn of a new era, PR had agreed and had taken steps to register as a formal coalition. That is good news to the ears. Yes, and Gerakan K can continue with his idiotic and stupid mind set.
Gerakan K, guess you are a Penangnite? Why choose Gerakan K? Literally translated in Hokkien, it means Gerakan Chicken. Arggh your name suggests it, Chicken Gerakan?
1Malaysia PM Najib is the guardian of vernacular schools in Malaysia. My vote goes to BN.
By abolishing the teaching of English, Zero KPI PM Najib has taken Malaysia education a step backward. Vernacular language is still being taught even though English is being used for Math & Science. He is trying to appease the fanatics of UMNO at all cost
Wow.. this guy must live in La La land …. go and check how much allocation for vernacular school.. all the vernacular school depends of parents and other party donation not from ur 1malaysia. every year those vernacular school struggling for $$$ to survive while the sek keb got all the tax payer money
We will not argue with thick mind sets… While we welcome you to join the (movement) for a better Malaysia, we will not waste our time trying to change your mind set.
Have a nice time, Gerakan, K = chicken!
Hey, noticed how Gerakan K shifted goalpost? When he couldn’t defend Najib & and his empty 1Malaysia, Gerakan K conveniently brought up vernacular schools. Tsk! Tsk!
I noticed one distinctive trend in our buddy Gerakan K. He’s only good in attacking LGE and the Penang Govt. But he can’t defend anything or anyone in BN for what it is worth. Go on, folks, try him out with Koh Tsu Koon and see him fluster. Gerakan K couldn’t explain why KTK did a poor job with Penang while he was CM. He couldn’t defend why Najib isn’t practising what the 1Malaysia slogan says.
But when it comes to condemning LGE, he’s the fastest one off the block — aided by Anil. Just watch Anil post something that carries a negative slant on LGE’s administration, Gerakan K will be the first to comment and condemn. What a loser!
What is so surprising about the Rakyat getting screwed ultimately under Najib? It is already the consensus but not explicitly spoken that 1Malaysia is … You Malaysia with Najib’s middle finger. Even Zaid Ibrahim implied it publicly in Penang Sembang-Sembang event this week.
When LKS first suggested similar theme of 1-Rakyat , the idea was term stupid by BN/UMNOs.
Suddenly out of nowhere, 1-M’sia got strong blind support from BN supporters & rakyat very well known it is mere SHOW.
Damn!! I didnt get a special bumi discount on purchase of my new house ..why?
Because its 2Malaysia………
hahaha… thats a good one….
We make critics for the betterment of Penang and Malaysia a whole.
G K. Are u in this contry? U don’t seem to know exactly what is going on around you. From your comments i guess you are a typical BN Clown.Really blind u r.
G K . What is uppermost in most of our minds is not to be deceived with false/misleading 1 malaysia concept, knowing PM, and also based on his predesessors of such statements when they became PMs.
ENOUGH of all these.
Gerakan K, Just wake up. Are you still in your slumbers after receiving so many wake up calls in this blog itself?
The 1Malaysia rhetoric, is slowly but surely losing its appeal with Malaysians at large. It had been two hundred days, and two hundred days is a long time, what with TBH, PKFZ, Double Rail Link to Ipoh, aided by two disasters associated with 1Malaysia in a week in Ipoh, etc. etc. Act of God in reminding the Rakyat to wake up and not to be again cheated by people who spew lies and speak half truths?
All these that are surfacing seem to give the PR coalition, a new lease of life, after Bagan Pinang. And the ground is shifting again towards the PR. Rhetorics can only take you so far, action speaks louder than words. And what happened with the ex Mufti of Perlis, had created a sense of anger amongst the Muslims populace and Malaysians at large. What happened at Brickfields, where high handedness by the PDRM officers make Malaysians boiled. And the thuggish behaviours of the police in Ipoh, where they dragged and roughed up PR politicians cannot be accepted by any standards. The PR prays for more such actions by the people in power today, such actions will only sow more seeds of discontent amongst Malaysians and those who sow the seeds of discontent will reap the fruits of discontent! And this will show in the ballot boxes, come the next GE. While, it looks like fortune seems to be favouring the BN after Bagan Pinang, the spade of happenings lately, that had not failed to create headlines even in the MSM, had neutralised whatever gains or at worst put the BN at a more disadvantageous position in the eyes of ordinary Malaysians come the next GE. Remember, what the effects of the Keris wielding act had on the voters? Apparently, just after one win, they are getting absolutely arrogant again, and can these people be trusted or change? The answer is a foregone conclusion.
If only our East Malaysians brothers and sisters wake up, the whole exercise to rid of the BN will happen sooner than expected.
Together we can make a difference!
Gerakan K
Are u sure that 1Malaysia is pro vernaculat school? Najib said it is not the right time. The right time would be the next day he won the 2nd election with landslide, then he would do things his way?
BTW, what the hell is 1 Malaysia anyway?
What does 1Malaysia mean? It means one Najib for all.
BN had destruy malaysia in this 50 years…do we think we need bn now…please wake up our beloved brothers n sisters….
What does one Malaysia mean ? If we are really one, then how come the PM who claims that we are one has (deprived) the people of Perak… just in the favour of BN ???? dO YOU THINK YOU CAN BELIEVE THIS GUY….

Hei Stupid King Cobra,
SQUATTERS have no rights under Malaysian law. The KPB (residents) are going to be given houses worth hundreds of thousands. Come to Johor and see what the wonderful UMNO … would give you, In southern Johor Malay squatters weer kicked out of their home and compensated with RM30,000.00 low cost homes. Imagine what they would do to your skin without LGE around or are you … too stupid to understand that the KPB developer is an UMNO linked company.
You clowns voted for BN in Bagan Pinang and the same BN (negligence) drowned three Indian kids in Perak. … in the midst of covering up the mess until PR exposed the illegal nature of the bridge and how the kids were not supervised by their teachers during the bridge crossing. Without PR in Perak those three dead kids would just be three dead (kids) in the eyes of UMNO. Now, I want you KPB instigators to go to UMNO and ask them to force Numestro to give the remaining KPB folks who did not accept the terrace house offer for the same deal or a better deal. Go ahead and grovel in front of UMNO for scraps again. Typical stupid…, after 50 years of being ‘sodomised’ by UMNO still wants more of the same.
Hi! King Cobra, I do not wish to be mean or rude in my reply to you.
I agree absolutely with Vinnan, squatters has got no rights! This applies not only to Malays, Chinese or Indians but to all Malaysians regardless of race. Please be logical and think hard, no one would believe their ears when they heard that squatters are compensated with a house worth RM450,000. Be honest and be impartial, do you think, if you are sobre, that the BN Government will have a second look at you, in the event they are still in power in Penang? They will not care a damn for you, you may continue hissing in the wild.
The fact is that the UMNO linked company cannot do anything as LGE had used his power vested on him to stop any developments on the State Land until and unless compensation, and in this case, a double storey house is build to compensate the villagers. Be rational and be fair to your own kind, please spare them the pain of bringing up painful memories again. Everyone in KBP is happy with the compensation, except for a few with vested interests. While we pained in the fact that such a well protected site had not gone unnoticed under the UMNO/BN people who only wanted the site to make monies for themselves, but at least the PR stood for you without shirking its duties, i.e to fight for the Rakyat.
The villagers are happy, the politicians that stirred trouble had gone back, without caring a damn about the fate of the KBP folks after stirring up controversies, which they are good and second to none, the BN side that is.
Government stirring hate and discord amongst the races? Is it? From BN, I guess you are referring to? LGE is a Chinese, Datuk Mansor is a Malay and Prof. Ramasamy is an Indian, they worked hand in glove to resolve the issues of KBP and that the villagers of KBP are taken care of, still, you mean to say, there are racial problems? When and where did it happen? This is news to us. All the rakyat are in Penang are happy and work hard to assist each other, regardless of race. I guess you must have overplayed or exaggerated the issues! There never was the issue of racial hate which you mentioned, King Cobra!!!!! Please do not sow hatred amongst the races of Penang and Malysia. You sound very bitter, King Cobra, let the matter rest, the BN are happy that their UMNO led company got to develop their land, with the help of Gerakan. The villagers are very well compensated except that Penangnites had lost a part of their wonderful history of this place called Kampung Buah Pala. It is a loss to Penangnites and not to you outsider, King Cobra! Guess you must be from the MIC.
Let the issue rest King Cobra.
