Dominique Ng and Chong Chieng Jien slapped with 12 months' suspension-An Act of retaliation By BN Over P212-Sibu By-Election Defeat

Kuching
Tuesday, 18th May 2010

Dominique Ng (PKR-Padungan) and Chong Chieng Jien (DAP-Kota Sentosa) were today slapped with 12 months' suspension from the state assembly, effective immediately, for contempt.

Barisan Nasional Assemblymen have been using the (Privileges and Powers) Ordinance 2007 since it approval by DUN in 2007. The main purposes ofbthe ordinance is to curb opposition's assemblymen from criticizing the BN government.  

I wrote about this last year.

The ruling means that this will be the two opposition assemblymen's last appearance at the current assembly as its term will officially end on July 24, 2011.

The Sarawak state assembly sits twice a year, with the first session starting in May and the second, in November, usually for state budget tabling.

YB Dominique Ng (PKR-Padungan)

Ng was the first to be suspended by State Assembly Speaker Datuk Seri Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar after 53 assemblymen voted in favour of the suspension, seven against and one abstained.

He was suspended for his "kangaroo court" remark in May sitting last year during the debate on the motion to adopt the findings and recommendations of the Committee of Privileges regarding Wong Ho Leng (DAP-Bukit Assek).

Ng had said: "This is a kangaroo court. Let's count the kangaroos. Come hop, hop, hop."

Speaking to reporters soon after his suspension, Ng said he was disappointed with the ruling as it meant that he would not be able to voice out the problems of his constituency for a year and would have to wait for the new term of the new state government to begin.

YB Chong Chieng Jien (DAP-Kota Sentosa)

Later, Chong, who is Sarawak DAP secretary, received similar punishment after 54 assemblymen voted in favour of his suspension and six against.

Chong was found to be in contempt of the august house in May last year for disputing and challenging the decision of the house regarding the Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) engaging Chinese experts to study the flood mitigation project for Kuching city.

The second charge aginst him was for imputing improper motives towards Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister's Department Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman for allegedly indirectly causing a Gambier street hawker to commit suicide.

BN Defeated By DAP In P212-Sibu By-Election

Sibu
Sunday, 16th May 2010

Congratulations to DAP

Despite being promised with projects worth millions of ringgit but the voters in Sibu humiliated BN by voting them out.

The result of the election was announced by Wong See Meng at 10.58PM.

The Official Result

1) Wong Ho Leng (DAP) - 18,845

2) Robert Lau Hui Yew(BN-SUPP) - 18,447

3) Narawi Haron (Ind.) - 232.

Spoiled Votes : 395

The result of this by-election signalled two things. First, the support by Chinese against DAP in Sarawak is increasing but no change in  bumiputeras as they  still supporting BN. Secondly, SUPP is losing its Chinese support-thus next state election they risk of losing all their  seats to DAP.

As for me the result indicates clearly that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) plan  to wrest Sarawak from BN in next state election is brighter. What PR need to do now is to concentrate on  the dayaks and Malay majority areas. Issues that effect them most  such as the NCR problem can be used to fish for their votes.

Let's work from now to prepare for the state election which will be held by next year! And to all the dayaks, let's learn from our Chinese friends by VOTING BN OUT!

Who is the First Lady of Malaysia

Kuching
Saturday, 8th May 2010



Hot News : Rosmah mansor Commted Treason!

Invitation Clearly addressed Rosmah Mansor as First Lady.. MENDERHAKA!

I am confused now with who is the right person to be called the first lady of Malaysia.

First lady mean someone who married the no 1 man in a country. In Malaysia, the number 1 man is supposed to be the Yang Di pertuan Agong, therefore  the first lady of Malaysia should be given to the Agong's wife.

But according to Malaysian Today report, Rosmah mansor has been addressed herself as the first lady of Malaysia. The latest ocassion where she has been addressed as the first lady was during her visit to USA recently accompanying her PM husband.

The invitation card dedicated for her was clearly written that Rosmah Mansor was a first lady of Malysia. 

Should Ghani Patail recommended for Rosmah Mansor prosecution for TREASON?

But this is Malaysia...............

P212-SIBU By-Election A Show Case Between Sarawak DAP Chief and SUPP Sibu Assistant Treasurer

SIBU
Wednesday, 28th April 2010

In year 2008 General election Democratic Action Party (DAP) candidate was defeated by Sarawak United People Party (SUPP) with more than 3000 majority. In the election Richard Wong of DAP gannered 15903 votes compared to Datuk Robert Lau with 19138 total votes.

In the coming by-election Richard Wong of DAP is going to take on Robert Lau Junior as he is called by SUPP. Robert Lau junior real name is Robert Lau Hu Yiew. He is a second cousin to the late datuk Robert Lau.

Compare to year 2008 election, the coming by-election look much easier for Richard Wong. In the 2008 electionhe  fought Rober Lau who was very popular among the Sibuans. But in this coming election he is going to fight the novice politician who is not well known by the people of Sibu particularly among the Hawkers. So that the reason, since the demised of Datuk Robert Lau,Lau Junior accompanying by Datu Wong Soon Koh, has been visiting Sibu market almost everyday. His visits to the market were covered by his family newspaper the Borneo Post.

For Pakatan Rakyat, Sibu by-election is a vital ground for them to test their presence in Sarawak especially when the state election is approaching. The last time that they compete in the election in Sarawak was in April 2010, when their candidate ex-YB Jawah Gerang from PKR was defeated by Mussen Lamoh from Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS).

To the voters in Sibu, please select your representative wisely. Remember that if you vote for SUPP candidate you may consider endosing Sibu to be controlled by Lau's clan.
I only have this for all of you, the voters in sarawak "Abandon SUPP and jump into our boat" by throw your VOTE FOR PAKATAN!

BN WIN IN HULU SELANGOR IN SMALLER MAJORITY COMPARED TO MAHYUDDIN PREDICTION

KUALA KUBU BAHARU
Sunday, 25th April 2010

"BE-END" PROUD MOMENT - WHO IS THE REAL CANDIDATE, IS IT KAMALANATHAN OR ROSMAH?

Barisan Nasional’s (BN) P Kamalanathan has won a hard-fought Hulu Selangor by-election in what will be seen as a boost for Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s administration, but Pakatan Rakyat (PR) is expected to take heart from the close margin.

BN won today’s poll by just 1725 votes, recouping spoilt votes which contributed to its defeat in Election 2008, but failing to convincingly bury a strong PR.

Earlier today, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had set a target of winning by up to 6,000 votes as observers had noted that BN needed to win big after pulling out all the stops during the campaign to justify Najib’s personal involvement and its pork-barrelled spending.

The ruling coalition had thrown everything and the kitchen sink at the campaign in an attempt to to put it on track to recovery after a string of by-election defeats since Election 2008.

BN had lost in all by-elections in the peninsular since 2008, except for its stronghold of Bagan Pinang in Negri Sembilan, which it retained in a by-election last October.

In today’s vote, Kamalanathan obtained 24,997 votes while Zaid received 23,272.

The results suggest BN and PR are still neck and neck in the battle for support from Malaysians, particularly in the peninsular.

PKR blames poor turnout on BN intimidation and hanky-panky

PKR has expressed disappointment in the poor voter turnout for the crucial polls today and blames it on Barisan Nasional’s (BN) steady intimidation on voters and hanky-panky in the electoral roll.

Besides the “illegal” change of voting stations for 13,488 voters in the large constituency, PKR said they have also received more than 50 complaints from voters who claim their names were suddenly removed from the electoral roll.

“We are still tallying the number of complaints we have received but it is safe to say that there are more than 50 of them,” PKR election director Fuziah Salleh told The Malaysian Insider.

She added that the practice of intimidation by rowdy BN supporters and dubious campaign methods employed by the BN faction had also caused a large portion of the electorate to shy away from today’s crucial polling.

“We cannot say for certain why this is happening... We are still wondering why ourselves. However, we believe that this was largely due to the politics of intimidation used by them,” she said.

As at the close of today’s polls, a total of 48,935 voters out of the total 64,500 voters or 75.8 per cent have cast their ballots.

While today’s voting process concluded successfully without overly violent clashes, the small voter turnout despite the importance of the heavily-publicised by-election comes as a surprise.

PKR views the election as crucial for it badly needs to patch up its tattered image as a solid opposition party in view of the spate of damaging defections that rocked the party of late.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the meantime has already labelled the by-election, the country’s tenth since Election 2008, as a referendum to his administration which has been embarking on a more liberalised stance.

The BN has pitched first-time candidate P. Kamalanathan against political heavyweight from PKR Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, who was formerly Umno’s Cabinet minister of law.

“According to our figures, the voter turnout in the Felda areas were a little less than 70 per cent. The Chinese that came out to vote were only about 75 per cent and for the Indian voters, the turnout in the estates were lower than those in the towns. For the Malays, only about 70 per cent turned out,” said Fuziah.

She pointed out that the PKR was suspicious of the method that the by-election was run, adding that in Serendah, the returning officers in three schools had refused to sign the Form 14 of the counting agents.

“By failing to sign, it means they can do anything they want with the forms and we cannot do anything to claim it was a fraud,” she said.

She added however that the PKR’s orders to all its counting agents was never to leave their posts until the forms were signed.

“We told them to lock themselves in the stations and never leave until the forms are signed. This is a matter of life and death,” she cautioned.

Meanwhile, early indication show that PKR may just have a chance to clinch the polls.

An observer told The Malaysian Insider that the poor voter turnout was largely due to the intimidating campaign style used by the BN to buy over support to their side.

“Maybe they are afraid to vote against the BN so they decided to take the goodies and stay away from the polls,” said the observer.

Former candidate V. S. Chandran told The Malaysian Insider that the BN would likely lose in areas like the Kerling polling district, Rasa and Kuala Kubu Bharu town.

“The sentiment in those areas are strong against the BN... people are unhappy with what happened before with our previous candidate,” he noted, in reference to MIC deputy president Datuk G. Palanivel, who was the MP for Hulu Selangor for four terms since 1990.

Welcoming Speech by Saudara Cubbold John Lusoi

At the beginning, saudara Cubbold was in dilemma  whether to continue with the meeting or otherwise as Ibi and Jimmy Donald did not turn up. But after given the greenlight by Datuk Seri Daniel Tajem to continue, he proceed with the meeting with much endeavour.....

After more than 2 years of the formation of the Protem Committee of PKR Cabang P202 Sri Aman, today it Protem Committee Chairman Saudara Cubbold John Lusoi conveyed the Meeting to form and selecting the Committee Members for PKR Cabang P202 Sri Aman.

The meeting was held in the semi-completed Balai Ringin SADIA office. Despite without electricity and enough chairs for about 100 members that attended the meeting, but it was held successfully.

In his opening remark , saudara Cubbold John reminded all the PKR Cabang P202 Sri Aman to support the party. In thanking Datuk Seri Daniel Tajem ak Miri, the PKR Advisor in sarawak for his attendance, Saudara Cubbold John said that his presence in the meeting will boost the morale and working Spirit of the PKR members particularly the new elected committee members.Before invited Datuk Seri Daniel Tajem to deliver his speech, Saudara Cubbold John proposed that the veteran politician represent the party in the coming election, in the state or  the parliamentary election.

PKR Must Set A Realistic Goal to Replace The BN Government and Not Pehin Taib Mahmud Only...Datuk Seri Daniel Tajem to PKR Members..

Datuk Seri Daniel Tajem in his speech rejected the offer made by Suadara Cubbold John. In turning down the offer he cited his poor health, age factor and too many commitment as the reasons. In his speech, he remind all the PKR members to be focused and to set a more realistic objective, cited an example such as to change the BN government instead of Taib Mahmud, because he said changing Taib Mahmud alone will not be able to change the current condition especially the NCR issue that affected the native of Sarawak. In his long informative and persuasive speech to the party members that present, he also informed the members Pn Ibie, ex-YB Jimmy Donald and Serit Tukok had held the another meeting last week. Since the meeting was held without informing the protem committee Chairman Saudara John Cubbold, the meeting was considered not valid. And upon asked by Saudara Cobbold John, Datuk Seri Daniel Tajem advised him to proceed with the meeting and select the new Committee members.

Following are the elected Members of PKR P202 Sri Aman branch (Cabang)

Wong Soon Koh Cries For Sibu Hawkers Association Member Votes

Sibu
Friday, 24th April 2010

Wong Soon Koh Seen Wipes Away his tears begging for the votes from Sibu Hawker Association Members!

While most of us making love with our wives and shedding  our se..n into our wives va..na,  but Wong Soon Koh one of Sarawak United People Party senior member shed his tears, begging to the Sibu hawkers association members to throw thier votes to it candidate for the in-coming by-election for P212.

As had been announced by Election Commission (EC) Sibu by-election will be held on 15th may 2010.

SUPP had announced that it will rely on Junior Robert Lau (late Robert Lau's cousin) to defend P212 from PR. Junir Robert lau is a noviced in politic and he will almost probably will be challenged by sarawak DAP's chief, who is more senior and well known compared to Robert lau Junior.

But Why Did SUPP Choose to Campaign in The Market

Based on newspaper reports, SUPP is intensifying their campaign among the hawkers. Many people believed that SUPP effort to relocate the hawkers from the traditional market location in Sibu to the proper Sibu market had recieved the heavy objection from the hawkers which could number more than 3000 in Sibu. This number if translated to votes can cost SUPP the P212 seat.

But how SUPP could win the heart of these hawkers is very much depending on how well SUPP and Robert Lau junior interact with these hawkers.

As for DAP with current crisis affecting SUPP, they have better opportunity to win Sibu by-election. What DAP and Pakatan Rakyat need to do now is to continue and to intensify their campaign by now and not on last minute..

Let's pray to god sop that PR could win this coming by-election, and to the Chinese voters in Sibu lets teach SUPP a lesson in Sibu.......

P212-Sibu By Election : SUPP Wants to Repeat Batang Ai Victory By Frequent Visits to Marketplace

SIBU, SARAWAK
THURSDAY, 22ND APRIL 2010

The Market Politician?

SUPP is desperate to win the coming by-election in Sibu, this is what I see in the biggest Chinese party in Sarawak. The party which has been humiliated during the year 2008 General Election is hoping to win the by by-election.

Following the deatH of datuk Robert Lau, Election Commission (EC) had made an announcemment that the by-election for Sibu will be held on 15th May 2010.

In the 2008 general election, late Robert Lau retained the largely urban seat with a 3,549-vote majority, beating Sarawak DAP chairman Wong Ho Leng and PKR’s Lim Chin Chuang in a three cornered fight.

Dr Wong Soon Koh as qouted in Borneo Post said that SUPP will win the by-election just like wht the other BN component party did in Batang Ai by-election held last April 2009. But what Wong Soon Koh forgot to consider the differents between the two by-elections in term of Geographically and socially.

In Sibu which is an urban area where the development is not a concern, most of the voters are educated and rich, and the most importantly majority of the voters are Chinese. Where as for Batang Ai, the most important factors why Barisan Nasional won the election was of it voters background and mentality. In contrast with Sibu, majority of the voters in Lubok Antu were Iban, whose are still in the "chawat mentality" and whose access to development were still very far behind thus easily manipulated by the BN. It was proven by the election result where the BN candidate despite his novice in politic but still managed to defeat Jawah Gerang with bigger majority.

For Pakatan Rakyat (PR), Sibu by-election is very crucial as a morale booster or a test ground prior to Sarawak state election which is due by July next year.PR in Sibu election will be represented by DAP candidate as agreed by the leaders of component parties in PR.

SUPP has lobbied for Sibu branch assistant treasurer Robert Lau Hui Yew, 45(Late Robert Lau's cousin) as the Barisan Nasional candidate for the by-election.Since then the party has started the campaign by visiting the hawker market in Sibu. So far, he has made two visits to the Sibu market and both had been given a wide coverage by Borneo Post, the local English newspaper.Obviously based on the newspaper report, SUPP will do whatever it takes to retain Sibu seat.

But in contrast, until today DAP has still not making any official announcement on their candidacy eventhough it has been speculated that it will be represented by Wong Ching Yong ,Or a new faces such as Lau Hui Ung, Yap Hai Loi and Oscar Ling or by Wong Ho Leng himself. Of these names, almost probably Wong himself will represents DAP. He is a well-known among the Chinese community, not only in Sibu, but all over Sarawak.

P212 Sibu

According to EC, the electoral roll to be used in Sibu by-election has a total of 54,695 voters, including 2,537 postal voters.And Of the registered voters, 5,740 comprise Malays (10.5 %), 36,389 Chinese (66.7 %), 54 Indians (0.1%), 218 Bumi Sabah (4%), 12, 050 Bumi Sarawak (22.1%), orang asli 23 (0.04%) and 71 others (0.13%).

Who Will Win the By-Election?

Who will be the choice of voters? Can SUPP ensure that the seat remain in its grip as it faces internal problems and dissatisfaction of the Chinese community towards this oldest party? SUPP which was established in 1959 is seen as facing endless internal crisis, and has failed to resolve issues involving the Chinese community, including economy and education. One must remember that in Sibu Town area, some 60 percent of its voters are Chinese, while the remaining are Melanau 20 percent, Iban 18 percent, Orang Ulu 1.1 percent and others 0.9 percent.

If seen from various angles, the by-election is not as easy as the 2008 election for SUPP. SUPP needs to work harder and come up with appropriate and effective campaign strategies to ensure the seat is not lost and jeopardising the party’s image and reputation when BN needs nothing else but victory at this time. If SUPP is defeated in this area, it will more or less give a picture of what will happen in the 10th State election later.

Race is not a big factor that will determine the outcome of  this by-election as both parties (PR and BN) will be represented by the Chinese majority party. Being PR supporter/member  myself, I predicted that Chinese voters will choose DAP to SUPP because the later has been given the opportunities to represent them but the party had failed to protect their interest and many felt that the party has been following the fingers of Taib Mahmud or Melanau.

Perak BN Made Pakatan Detrector a Datuk

Ipoh, Perak
Monday, 19th April 2010

Datuk Hee?

Ohhh...Latuk!

I am amazed and truly amaze when I read in Malaysian Insider that Hee Yit Foong one of the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) Assemblymen (The Perak 3 Stoogees)that responsibled for the fall of PR government was awarded the Darjah Datuk Paduka Mahkota Perak (DPMP) in conjunction with the Sultan’s 82nd birthday on 19th April 2010.

Upon reading the article by Clara Chooi,proactively I started to think how easy it was to get the datukship. Some of the Malaysian citizen even have to gamble their lives for years but never been confered with datukship. But this "Datuk Hee" just took one step to get the datuk...I am amazed...or was it a bribed or a gift by Zambri to Hee for making him a Menteri Besar....

This morning I would like to share what Martin Jalih has to say about Datu Hee made a "datuk by Perak government :

Datuk Hee? So ‘Hee-larious’! — Martin Jalleh

It was an historic occasion for Hee Yit Foong. She was bestowed the honorary title “Datuk” by his Highness the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, on the occasion of his 82nd birthday.

Hee must have been “hee-elated”. It was the high point of her life after having gone through the depths of great public humiliation and to contend with the hate heaped on her especially by Perakians.

Indeed, she has been hounded and abuses have been hurled on her when she did the hop-step-and-jump political dance. She hopped out of her party, stepped on the people’s will and jumped into the waiting arms of the BN as an “independent”.

During a State Assembly meeting, several DAP lawmakers gave her hell, threw RM1 notes at her and told her to resign as they said she had no honour left for selling her soul and State away!

Some in her Jelapang constituency hung an effigy of her and burnt it in a mock Chinese funeral rite! Others wanted to get their hands on her whose defection from DAP triggered BN’s takeover of Perak.

Hee was hoping that the people would be hoodwinked by her hee-haw over how she was supposedly shunned, smeared, sidelined and “squeezed out of the DAP step-by-step” by its party leaders.

She denied that she had left the party because she was hankering after a state exco seat and huffing and puffing and making a hue and cry over not being given a new Camry!

The DAP called her excuses pure humbug. They had not only groomed her to such great heights in politics but made her the first non-Malay, female and physically-disabled deputy speaker in the country’s history.

In February, Zambry harped about Hee’s “service record” and asked Perakians to give her “a chance to serve” as an assemblywoman. The rakyat of course saw no reason to give heed to the bogus MB!

Alas, the people are humoured by the State’s high recognition of Hee through the Sultan. What did she do to deserve being conferred such a title? What is the hidden reason for the crowning of this overnight “heeroine” of Zambry’s “State Government”?

Zambry’s hype about Hee’s “service record” does not really hold. Soon after she had hopped over to be independent of the people’s will and vote, she went into hiding in order to save her own hide.

Based on current happening in Perak, many more pakatan rakyat detrectors will get the "datuk" title but this time will be from the federal government...Bukittunggal

Till today she has holed herself up. Her constituents in Jelapang confirm she is in hibernation. The DAP has formed the Jelapang Service Team (JST) to handle the needs of her constituents.

Further, how has Hee performed in the State Assembly? Has she contributed significantly to the debates (considering her halting Bahasa Malaysia) and to policy making? The answer is very obvious.

Two highlights of Hee’s contribution do stand out.

First, when she became “hee-sterical” and insisted that she had the power as deputy speaker to chair the Perak state assembly to get Ganesan (illegally) elected as the new speaker in the chaotic sitting.

The other instance was when she flashed a pepper spray at a PR assembly member in the House. She denied doing it but her histrionics in the State Assembly were captured on YouTube!

Surely the public cannot be blamed for its strong hunch that Hee’s datukship has very much to do with her role in helping the BN hijack the Perak State Government.

Hee Yit Foong will remain haunted for the rest of her life for having committed the “hee-nious” crime of betraying the trust of those who voted for the party that she once represented.

As Hee makes hay while the sun shines, it is very clear that she will be history when the next general election comes!

For now the rakyat of Perak has to bear up with the new Datuk’s “hee-pocrisy”!
