If the police report by Halimi Kamaruzaman can be investigated carefully and fully, the truth will prevail. No one can create the truth! See the full text of the police report here..

Ti Lian Ker wrote in defence of DS Najib over my earlier posting. Typical of a axed political aspirant wanting and craving for lost political post, the defeated Ti Lian Ker wrote to the extend that if DS Najib were to read his post, DS Najib might be tempted to offer him a post come March 2009. Surely the Senatorship held by the Pahang MCA will be vacated by the present holder in due course and Ti's saliva is all over waiting to prey on it. Come March 2009 when DS Najib become the PM, Ti Lian Ker with his posting POOR NAJIB....now he's a whipping boy! printed in gold will be walking the corridors of Putrajaya . He will tell DS Najib to repay what he had done.He will promote himself as the most eligible candidate for Kuantan Parliament seat and it will be his for the taking?. No one else is as good! Promoting oneself and " bodek " culture is part and parcel of political have been? One might ask what will happen to recycled products? From paper to tissue p...

I am now back in Kuantan after 2 weeks in KT. I was planning to catch up with lost sleep but I just simply can't! I have to take this out of my chest. Umno/BN lost in KT because of Najib ! I will say that to him if I happen to see him the next time. I don't blame Wan Farid for the defeat. Najib has to take the blame. He knew fully well that Wan Farid is not at all popular in KT. Wan Farid was Pak Lah's choice and not the choice of the people or voters in KT. I had written about Wan Farid being sombong earlier. Yes he is sombong! He does not know how to adapt to the lifestyles of KT. He is not a typical KT boy! He will not eat or have a cup of coffee in the warong. Even if he do, he will not belanja the person on the next table. That is not a politician way. I was surprise to pay just 30 sen for a cup of tea in KT. Any politician should be able to belanja the whole warung for that matter! It's not 3 ringgit, it is just 30 sen! I had complained and questioned why Wan Fari...

Earlier I had promised to write on the alleged claim by Seruan Gemilang Makmur Sdn. Bhd (SGM) against the State of Pahang for the sum of RM37 million. There were also statements in the MSM, blogs and other media that the claim had amounted to RM60 million. Allegations were also made that the MB of Pahang will be sent to jail for failing to pay SGM and all sorts of other allegations, rumours and smear campaign against the MB. Some had even alleged that the MB had not taken any steps to solved the problem and worst still, they was also allegation that Pahang will be bankrupt as a result of the claim by SGM. Pahang had filed by a Writ and Statement of Claim dated the 22 nd of December, 2008 against SGM. That Writ & Statement of Claim is yet to be extracted from the Kuantan High Court. I have a full copy of the Writ & Statement of Claim and since it is not extracted from Court it cannot be produced in full here. It is also not served on the Defendant SGM yet. Nevertheless the gist...

I received this email from a person by the name of Mohd Peter which I think is worth sharing. It was addressed to Friends of Matthias Chang of which I must admit I am one of them...I reproduce the email in full below :- Dear friends of Matthias, I am disturbed by Matthias' Malaysian proposal for a flotilla of 100 ships from Muslim nations escorted by a war ship. What is needed instead is LaRouche's solution for the almost completed Israel-Syria peace deal to be finalised on the afternoon that President Obama is sworn into office. Matthias's proposal, an angry response to the barbaric Israeli invasion, will only add to the chaos and expand the war, Muslim against Muslim, as yet another divide and conquer 'British Empire' operation. Muslims must use their heads not their emotions and not fall into the British war trap which appears to have been carefully and skilfully prepared over the last 12 months with full Bush/Cheney complicity. The British Foreign Office are pas...

Rungutan masyarakat dan pengundi Cina yang telah saya temui di Kuala Terengganu antara lainnya adalah seperti berikut:- Masalah Geran Hakmilik Kekal bagi Kampung Baru Cina Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat di Perak telah umumkan pemberian geran hakmilik kekal secara berperingkat kepada penduduk Cina Kampung Baru SEDANGKAN Kerajaan BN pula tidak berniat untuk memberi geran hakmilik kekal kepada rakyat. Jawapan:- Pemberian ataupun niat untuk berbuat demikian oleh kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat di Perak adalah bertentangan dengan dasar yang telah dikeluarkan olah Majlis Tanah Negara yang mana semua kerajaan negeri adalah menjadi ahli. Perkara ini jelas tidak dapat dilaksanakan dan Perak hanya bermain politik. Masalah Pendidikan Cina Sekolah Persendirian Cina masih memerlukan bantuan dari masyarakat Cina sendiri TETAPI kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat pula memberi peruntukan dan tanah kerajaan kepada Sekolah Persendirian Cina. Peruntukan Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina perlu diberi secara sistematik dan teranc...

Yes......finally I managed to upload the video. Watch the video in my earlier posting Penyokong Pas Cium Tangan MB Pahang

Saya ingin menyeru supaya semua kempen BN/UMNO di PRK Kuala Terengganu di hentikan esok Jumaat 9hb Januari 2009. Berhenti untuk satu hari! Sebaliknya semua jentera serta keseluruhan ahli BN/UMNO dan umat Islam yang sekarang ini berada di Terengganu mengadakan perhimpunan besar-besaran serta solat hajat selepas sembahyang Jumaat esok. Solat hajat untuk mendapat rahmat Allah dan berdoa supaya serangan tidak berperikemanusaian Isreal terhadap Gaza dihentikan segera! Selepas solat hajat dan solat Jumaat, ahli UMNO serta semua umat Islam yang berada di Kuala Terengganu mengadakan perhimpunan raksaksa untuk melahirkan bantahan kita terhadap serangan yang sungguh zalim Israel terhadap penduduk Gaza yang tidak berdosa. Kepada semua ahli UMNO serta orang Melayu yang mendapat nikmat kekayaan serta kemewahan melalui kemajuan ekonomi yang dibawa oleh pemerintahan BN selama ini, MESTI menghulurkan bantuan kewangan untuk membekalkan cetakan surah Yassin yang boleh dijual untuk dijadikan kutipan derm...

Peristiwa ini berlaku semasa dalam perjalanan ke pusat penamaan calon PRK KT pada 6hb Jan 2009 jam lebih kurang pukul 8.30 pagi. Kami dari Hotel Grand Con Kuala Terengganu menaiki kereta yang dipandu oleh MB Pahang. Saya duduk dibelakang MB dan rakamkan video ini. Yang lain dalam kereta itu adalah Dato' Ishak Mohd, Dato' Wan Rosdy dan Dato' Sharkar. Semasa melalui jalan yang dipenuhi penyokong Pas, MB buka tingkap dan bermesra dengan penyokong-penyokong Pas dan salah seorang dari mereka bersalam dan cium tangan MB. Saksikanlah rakaman video di bawah. (Saya telah mencuba untuk upload video tetapi tidak berjaya. Mungkin broadband di KT ini slow, mungkin juga file video itu besar sangat 99.1MB. Saya akan cuba lagi sampai berjaya...InsyaAllah) Siapa kata penyokong Pas tak hormat pemimpin UMNO/BN? Siapa kata MB Pahang tidak disenangi rakyat? Update at 9.46 am 8th Jan. 2009 I tried uploading the video the whole of last night but without success. The connection is too slow and bre...

Kali pertama sejak 1999 iaitu sejak saya jadi Setpol, penamaan calon berjaya dalam suasana penuh mesra. Lihat sahaja gambar-gambar yang saya lampirkan dibawah. Khemah untuk penyokong BN & PR tiada pemisah dan kelihatan pemimpin-pemimpin kedua-dua pihak berbual mesra. Suasana diluar dewan pun sangat aman dan tiada banyak sorak menyorak seperti kelazimannya. Adakah ini kematangan politik Malaysia? Atau adakah perkembangan baru yang amat sihat. Teresa Kok berbual mesra dengan Syed Hamid dan Hisham di dalam khemah BN. Teresa Kok berbual dengan Chua Soi Lek dan seorang lagi pemimpin DAP didalam khemah BN. Shahrizat bercium pipi dengan seorang pemimpin wanita Pas di khemah PR. Shahrizat berbual serta beramah mesra dengan pemimpin wanita Pas di khemah PR. Kelihatan juga DS Shahidan Kassim dan YAB DS Isa Sabu MB Perlis berbual mesra dengan YAB Azizan MB Kedah dan DS Mahdzir Khalid dalam khemah PR (Tidak sempat diambil gambar). YAB Nizar MB Perak duduk dan berbual mesra dengan pemimpin-pem...

I am now in KT. The only complaint heard so far - Wan Farid sombong. Salam tak tengok mata. No eye contact. Pas can't find fault in him save for what Che Det had said about the proxy matter. But that again it's not from Pas! Pas can't use that as their campaign material. I guess why the former PM said that is to pre-empt Pas! When Tun M said that, the voters of KT already knew about his relationship with Pak Lah and I don't think it matters anymore. Pak Lah will retire in March and Tun M is already retired. What's wrong with being a proxy to Pak Lah? In fact all the present BN MPs are Pak Lah's proxies. They became calon during the last GE because Pak Lah chose them! That be the case Wahid Endut can also be said as the proxy to Hadi Awang as Hadi was the one who chose Wahid over all the other Pas aspirants! Thank you Tun M for giving BN the "weapon" against Pas. Salam tak tengok muka? When you shake hands with hundreds or thousands of people you actual...

THIS SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR... Lawyer gets 5-cent IRS bill, 4-cent refund Detroit defense attorney remains confused over two notices DETROIT - James Howarth is a little confused by two letters he has received from the Internal Revenue Service. The Detroit defense lawyer received one letter in November that said he owed the IRS money — five cents. He was warned that he should pay "to avoid additional penalty and/or interest," the Detroit Free Press reported Saturday. Howarth said he then received a second letter telling him the government owes him money — four cents. He was told he would have to request the refund since it's less than $1. "When I owe them a nickel, I must pay them. It's not optional," he said. "But when they owe me, I have to ask for it." Howarth said he's not sure if there is a connection between the two notices, or if the refund represents a recalculation of the original bill. The perplexed lawyer said he called an IRS 800 telep...

Seruan Gemilang Sdn Bhd, a logging company had sued the Government of Pahang for the sum of RM37 million. The case was last heard in the Kuantan High Court on the 31st day of December 2008 and was postponed to the 20th day of March 2009. It have received so much publicity especially among the Opposition members. Not many people know the actual status of the Court case and it was made out that the Government of Pahang will have to pay the company a total sum of RM60 million. In a few days I will be writing on the case and will reveal the actual issues raised and the present status of the claim. The Goverment of Pahang had also instituted a new claim against the Company and the writ is yet to be extracted from the Court.  I will be writing on matters of public knowledge and will base my writing on documents duly made public i.e documents duly filed in Court. I will also be mindful of the thin line of the principle of sub judice. It may take sometime...
