I don’t care who started what; what happened in Perak is a travesty, an insult to democracy. Let us not loose sight of that!

So when a PKR crossover to BN , parliment should be dissolved , because it is not what the people want and its a dirty tactic

but when a BN crossover to PKR , he will be hailed as a hero despite that he left BN because he coudlt get the post he wanted anyway

this proves that PKR and their supporter is practicing double standard and being hypocrite

look who started the game of crossover first? you all were supporting it back then remember 16th september? ring any bells?

The gods in KL and Klang cried too yesterday when the deluge came down at about the same time that it occurred in Ipoh. This is a reflection of our empathy with the people of Perak. I was full of indignation at the events that unfolded in the single darkest day in Malaysian history. Let the 871,736 Perakians who voted in PRU12, go to the polls again and determine the kind of government that they desire – a very fair fight indeed. HRH Sultan of Perak is a man of wisdom, and people become wise and enlightened from observations made.… Read more »

Look, to add more logical analysis to the debate about party hopping, let us be clear about three things: 1. If party hopping followed by snap elections is justified as an unjust means to a fair end, then there will be no end to party hopping, what more when vast amounts of money is offered under the table. (Anwar, pls take note, you are at an economic disadvantage in this respect). 2. Now that both BN (sin by commission) and PKR (sin by temptation) have created this political mess, it is the honourable thing for both Anwar/PKR leaders and Najib… Read more »

dear Anil I do not think Anil. It is a dawn of a NEW ERA like Obama. But we do not have a man like Obama here yet. As I mentioned earlier, it is foregone conclusion that the BN is at its last days. Do not worry. For the Atrocities they committed against Malaysians in general and Malaysian Indians in particular, they will must reap the benefit. Malaysian Indians have no leadership. Samy is very happy looking after hif conglomerate of Corporations. Who else is there. Samy has quarrelled with almost all his deputies who were supposed to take over.… Read more »

Hmmm…all this very bad-bad politicking πŸ™‚ instead of productively working, is not looking very good for the poor, hard-working Perakite-people now is it? Hmm…and after they have taken their valuable time out to go and vote for these politicking,party-hopping frogs, what do these worthless frogs do? Be very naughty πŸ™ and also greedy and try to sell-out and hang high and dry the poor Perakites, like what that backstabbing bad Judas did to his Master …. But hang on a minute….hmm, didn’t that same Judas then also go and hang himself with some rope and then πŸ˜€ swing dead from… Read more »

Thanks Anil, from those of us who cannot be there physically but are there in spirit with you.

Thanks, Anil, for being the blogger on the spot for those of us who couldn’t be physically there to show our support for the legitimate MB of Perak, Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin who has proven to be a competent, progressive, open-hearted & well loved personality. It’s been a long time since Perak – or any state – has seen such a good man head the government.

Damn that pink-lipped son of … . This only adds to his vast accumulation of negative karma. More power to the spirit of Altantuya!

Democratic or not, constitutional or not, it is the fault of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) for being a weak government in the first place. The two assemblymen for Changkat Jering and Behrang were tainted from the beginning. PR gleefully accepted the hopping Bota guy but when the tables are turned, it cried foul.
The Sultan is the head of the state and if he does not consent, then he does not consent, period. Nizar blundered and now he and his bunch should accept defeat.

Cadangan; kalau usaha meminta DYMM Sultan Perak gagal, syorkan semua warga perak tukar alamat pada IC kepada negeri lain, biar tiada lagi orang perak dalam record.

All Mighty and most merciful Father, We humbly beseech Thee, of thy great goodness to restrain this predicadment with which we have had to contend. Grant us His Provisions, Wisdoms, Guidances & Blessings for battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.

Would like to share with you guys what I found from SPR’s website. On 8 March 2008, during the 12th General Elections, 871,736 Perakians went to the polls together with fellow citizens across Malaysia to choose a representative to represent them in both parliament and the state assembly. 5,644 Perakians chose not to vote and did not return the ballot after registering at the polling stations. 20,421 votes were rejected as spoilt (whether intentionally or unintentionally we will never know). 1,635 chose to cast their votes for independent candidates. Now come the important part. Of these 871,736 Perakians who went… Read more »
