Khir Toyo, Temple Issue DQ you?

This is what Dato' Ahmad Husni Hanazlah said of Khir Toyo as reported in the NST of today 30th June 2008.
If you are a leader, you are supposed to be the leader for all. Not just for the Malays or the Chinese or the Indians or the Ibans.
Was it really Khir Toyo who demolished the temple concerned? Was it not done by Orders of the Court. When I was Senior Assistant Registrar of the High Court in the 80s, I did carry out Orders to demolish too. Orders made by the Court upon Writ of Possession. Can Khir Toyo stop the Court Order? I don't think so.
If Khir Toyo was really in a position to postpone the demolition and if he did not do so, then he should be blamed. Execution of Court Orders can be postponed. Justice must always be tempered with mercy. If the temple need to be used for prayers in a few days time, why can't it be postponed?
Will there be Hindraf if not for the demolition of the temple?
If so, sorry Khir Toyo, I agree with Ahmad Husni.... I will also DQ you!


"Temple issue disqualifies you, Khir told

TANJUNG RAMBUTAN: Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo's involvement in the demolition of a Hindu temple in Selangor while he was menteri besar is coming back to haunt him.
Tambun Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah said the party supreme council member should not join the race for the Umno Youth chief post in December because of the incident. Ahmad Husni, who is MP for Tambun and deputy finance minister, cited the temple demolition last October as the main reason for asking Dr Mohd Khir to drop out of the race."The Hindu community was very hurt (with the demolition). How can you demolish a temple? What if a mosque was demolished? What do you think will happen? "Political leaders should not do this type of thing. I do not give face to this type of political leader (referring to Dr Mohd Khir). He has done wrong and, therefore, must withdraw (from the race)," he said after launching a mobile service unit for his constituency here yesterday.
Ahmad Husni said Dr Mohd Khir should not have offered himself for the post as he had failed to guard the interests of the Indian community in Selangor while he was menteri besar, adding that the people of Selangor voted for the opposition because of his actions.He said politicians should keep in mind that they had a higher benchmark to satisfy, especially if they held high public office. "Their actions will be judged because of the position they hold. This (being morally accountable) must be the number one consideration. Therefore, he (Dr Mohd Khir) should withdraw from the race."

Prerogative of Mercy. Beg Your Pardon...

Ada terpandang video oleh Zaid Ibrahim tentang Pardon. Dia kata itu Prerogative of Mercy oleh Agong dan Raja2. High Prerogative of Mercy....or something like that lah. Itu betul. Tapi kalau nak kata process itu tidak ada procedure tak betul lah. Perlembagaan kita dan Akta Penjara telah tetapkan procedure nya. Agong & Raja2 juga perlu bertindak ikut Perlembagaan dan Undang2. Maka itu lah sebabnya digelar Raja Berperlembagaan. Dalam Perlembagaan ditetapkan mesti diadakan Pardons Board yang dipengerusikan oleh Tuanku sendiri. Antara lain Pardons Board itu akan bermesyuarat, pertimbangkan Petisyen yang dikemukakan, dapatkan nasihat dan pandangan ahli Pardons Board itu dan minta nasihat dan pandangan dari Peguam Negara. Bukan macam cerita filem purba. Bukan macam cerita Sultan Melaka ampunkan Hang Tuah untuk tujuan suruh bertikam dengan Hang Jebat. Bukan sebab Sultan Melaka menyesal tersalah hukum Hang Tuah. Bukan ampunkan Hang Tuah sebab Hang Jebat handal sangat dan hanya Hang Tuah sah

Setiausaha Politik selama 18 tahun (2000-2018)

Apabila YB Dato' Adnan Yaakob dilantik sebagai Menteri Besar Pahang, beliau telefon saya bertanya samada saya hendak tak datang ke Kuantan bekerja dengan dia. "Sam, Long ingat elok awak berubah angin. Mari datang Kuantan kerja dengan Long". Begitu lah kata-kata beliau. Kebetulan tahun 1999 itu saya kurang betul menumpukan perhatian kepada kerja-kerja sebagai lawyer. Anak saya baru meninggal pada 20hb August 1998. Dato' Adnan dilantik sebagai MB pada 25hb Mei 1999. "Come lah work with me. We see how I can place you in the MB's Office" Begitu lah Long Nan beritahu saya. "Boleh lah Long. Setahun dua boleh kot. I like myself more as lawyer, Long...." "OK...mari lah setahun dua" Itu jawab Dato' Adnan. "Tapi Long tak boleh lah bagi awak gaji besar Sam...." Sambung Dato' Adnan. "Kita tengok lah mana yang sesuai". Tambah beliau. Pada mulanya sejak bulan Mei 1999 itu saya hanya berulang alik KL-Kuantan. Tujuan
