Good news, for once.

And the brave and righteous fight back.

V Sivakumar, to most, seems to be a man bent desperation. You can say he is trying to break
the democratic process by barring the new BN MB. I shall resprect you stance of taking the middle ground. I have one problem with your argument though... the notion that recent events in Perak were all fruits of democracy is frankly laughable and highly misleading. The BN spin machine has tried tried to paint a picture of Truth prevailing for the sakes of the noble BN party. Wishfull thinking my dear sirs, even a fool could figure the glaring lie behind your PR smiles.

I shall make my stance in this very plain; Sivakumar has gone to the point where he shall not stand for this very obvious contempt the House... the total disrespect of democracy itself; all this by means of money politics and selfish ambitions at the expense of the Rakyat. BN may argue that it's rights as 'legally elected' officials has been demeaned. But it does takes any criminal to try to paint himself as the victim. BN was never the victim. It just so happens that the crook has found himself an oppsotion, what better way for a coward to defend himself by using the time honored 'oppressed do-gooder' ticket!



News of Elizabeth Wong's plight is making it's rounds as the most talked about topics, even here in Sarawak. Instead of giving BN the needed ammo to discredit Pakatan, it has ellicited a surge of sympathy from the public; as well as opening up to them the true nature of BN's running dog tactics of sleaze and corruption. We have seen now how individuals like Khir Toyo try to profess viritue and morality, only to have it back-fire to their faces, even earning ire from their colleagues from the ranks. Such politricks could only carry the proud and conceited far. But in the day, these same people would have to find a dammed good excuse to explain to multitudes who are right now reaching the end of their wanning patience.

Don't mess with us, mr. politician. For we have the right of the to VOTE YOU OUT!

It's Not Gonna Work, Bro.

How could you sleep saying all this things,
To say that we should "face the facts"
To let the powers rob us blind,
Making mockery to Law and common sense?

Do we have the right to question question?
To ensure that our vote is not in vain,
be it the left or of the right.
The fact is the MP is supposed to do their job!

So do you'd think we stand by the coup of the eventual defeated,
their ploys to buy the seats of this fair land,
Quantity over the obvious lack of quality,
How much the mark of their dirty politics
will be the shoes that will slam them out!

For they do not have armies to answer to,
But the whole lot of us unwashed,
the Rakyat of the Common Malaysian,
You have brought us down for the very last time,
Hear us! For we will have our redemption!

Perak (Part 2)

Arrogance that would anyone's blood boil.

I can think of any other words to say this; What the fucking deal? The rakyat goes out to the street
to voice their dissent. Text-book brute police force is what they get in return. BN has a shitload of bad pressed heaped on them. For Najib and co. to respond in this manner is not gonna get any sympathy, even from the devil himself!

You'd think for all the talk BN is making of trying to rehabilitate their image will actually come to fruition. Yeah right... such lip-service will only do them in as their actions clearly clash with their supposed ploys to reconcile with us frustrated members of the rakyat. Talk about shooting youself in the foot with you contradicting choice of morals.

As for the four assembymen who chose to seal Perak to it's fate; you'd think you've raked in the moolah as token for your dupilicity and conceit. But are you so shallow to underestimate the rakyat's collective intelligence? A criminal who claims repentance and goes out to do his misdeed again can never be trusted again. In fact he shall be seen with even more suspision, even if he is so brazen enough to claim repentance once again. Call me judgemental, but this is basic human behavior. Those who seriously would want to vote for you again would be either a ignorant or just plain retarded; for no one in their right minds will support pathological liars like you all.

Your treachery may have gotten you the much kick-back for your personal indulgences. But bear in mind, I say it as a matter of plain fact, that you have only served to drive the nails to the coffins of your lofty political goals. No one likes criminals like you, so why should they even remotely entertain the idea of casting the ballot for you?

For let it be known that we. the Malaysian people are not in the mood of bullshit. We are only interested in you, Mr. MP, to serve us; to represent us and our families in our best intrest. To fight not for the privilaged sectors of society but those who do not have your luck of even knowing the basic needs and privilages. YOU are supposed to bridge the divide, not to serve to widen them in the best intrest of the corrupt and greedy. Apparently you need a heart and brain to do your job; not to be mindless drones for the elite to serve their perverse ideals of what they blatantly call the Malaysian Dream.

Sad news.

A basic run-down of the crisis so far.

Here's Psalm 37 from the Bible:

1 Don't worry about the wicked. Don't envy those who do wrong.

2 For like grass, they soon fade away. Like springtime flowers, they soon wither.

3 Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires.

5 Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.

6 He will make your innocence as clear as the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

7 Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

8 Stop your anger! Turn from your rage! Do not envy others-- it only leads to harm.

9 For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the LORD will possess the land.

10 In a little while, the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.

11 Those who are gentle and lowly will possess the land; they will live in prosperous security.

12 The wicked plot against the godly; they snarl at them in defiance.

13 But the Lord just laughs, for he sees their day of judgment coming.

14 The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the oppressed, to slaughter those who do right.

15 But they will be stabbed through the heart with their own swords, and their bows will be broken.

16 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and possess much.

17 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the LORD takes care of the godly.

18 Day by day the LORD takes care of the innocent, and they will receive a reward that lasts forever.

19 They will survive through hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough.

20 But the wicked will perish. The LORD's enemies are like flowers in a field-- they will disappear like smoke.

21 The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers.

22 Those blessed by the LORD will inherit the land, but those cursed by him will die.

23 The steps of the godly are directed by the LORD. He delights in every detail of their lives.

24 Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.

25 Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly forsaken, nor seen their children begging for bread.

26 The godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing.

27 Turn from evil and do good, and you will live in the land forever.

28 For the LORD loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will perish.

29 The godly will inherit the land and will live there forever.

30 The godly offer good counsel; they know what is right from wrong.

31 They fill their hearts with God's law, so they will never slip from his path.

32 Those who are evil spy on the godly, waiting for an excuse to kill them.

33 But the LORD will not let the wicked succeed or let the godly be condemned when they are brought before the judge.

34 Don't be impatient for the LORD to act! Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you, giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed.

35 I myself have seen it happen-- proud and evil people thriving like mighty trees.

36 But when I looked again, they were gone! Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

37 Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future lies before those who love peace.

38 But the wicked will be destroyed; they have no future.

39 The LORD saves the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble.

40 The LORD helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him.

And justice for all? yes... for ALL.

The articles that has inspired this thread. Here and Here.

Its no secret of our police's standard practice of excessive force. I know there are some of you would be saying that Kugan got what he deserved; that a criminal like him bears no hope of redemption and therefore needs to be eliminated by all means from being a festering cancer in society.

Pardon my french, o rightious one, but I don't see you doing better in your daily life as mere erring humans.

It takes one so conceited in his track record to judge and condemn, so much so he is too dammed blind in acknowledging his own black marks. Attitudes like this bears no difference to the Pharisees in the bible, who in addition to crucifying Christ, were party to the corruption and debauchery of social & political hypocrisy. It negates basic compassion to those, who despite whatever crime or weaknesses, have the basic urge to make something for themselves in the pecking order. This in fact explains why they do the things they do, all this to escape the social order imposed on them by the powers that be. Something that makes no diffrence between those who go legit or dable in crime.

A high flying CEO and petty thief have in common in their pursuit of wealth and happiness. They may even be in agreement to whatever dubiousness in their practices. Which brings into question who is really rightious; everyone is capable to be culpable of any deviant practice. Everyone also have their moments of moral clarity; acts of selfless sacrifice and kindness. To be jaded and make blanket clasifications on which class is the most perverse is callous and immature. If God were to seriously judge humanity for every iota of corruption, it would be really safe to say the boundries of Hell itself would exceed even eternity itself.

Which brings me to the rights of anyone in polide custody. It is the job the police to do their job to protect. How much more a common criminal that needs to plead his case; to be proven guilty or innocent. Is it right for them to have a vigillante shoot-first-ask-questions-later atttitude, terrorising the detainee before they could even present his story to the courts. Again you would say criminals like Kugan don't deserve a chance. But imagine if you were in his shoes; locked up in your skivies and even innocent from whatever charges leveled at you. Would you say its 'justice' if those same cops terrorise you in ways never imagined your easy comfortable universe? Would you say you even deserve a chance?

Let be known that in general, be in local war enforcement and every major war, that violence and terror only serves prolong a viscous resentment that would subsequently explode at the expense of innocent bystanders. In this case, it would only fuel a sense of distrust to the police force, whom I'm very sure has some who are sincerely dedicated in their fight against the every deathly spectre of social chaos. Like it or not, the rakyat in the end depends on a police force to look after them and their children. To manifest their authority in brainless macho violence only serves to plant the black seeds of hatred. If the defenceless could not trust their protector, who else can they trust?

On Power and The Dangers of Subdivisions

The next piece of the domino shelf falls... its now or never, man!

Let admit this. It is so dammed easy to be swayed by the mainline media. The desperation of the status quo has made it go on the offensive to actually play up small misunderstandings between component parties within PR. Its really funny that BN itself is suffering from its own internal bickering. Yet nothing has been said. It's like a mortally weakened animal attempting to reassuming its dignity by roaring at the enemy. Face it, the amount of damage done by them in years past could not be redeemed by costly PR campaigns at the expence of the rakyat's tax money.

A bit of anecdote:

I was helping cover the SEDC relaunching of the Riverside Majestic and Grand Margerita just weeks ago. It was to be attended by Old White Hairs and his cronies, naturally Riverside went on the extreme in the perperation details. Nothing was left to chance, almost it was to befit someone of royal pedigree. I was really astounded at the attention to detail and prescision; it would have been great that this could have been utilized in the public service works here in this state. For someone important like White Hairs he could have used such influence to command efficientcy of the bueracracy for the rakyat. But itstead it all goes into tactless functions that frankly is made more to kiss ass and nothing more.

Call me naive or being snide. But I really feel political influence in general is just more about comanding the audience at some two-bit corporate function which in most case is more about filling the pockets of the politicians and the corporate sector. Perhaps it needs to be reminded that polticians and corprate entities are SUBJECT TO THE PEOPLE. We vote for the politicians. We make money for the corporations. We have so much so , consciously and unconsciously, went out on the limb to support them by providing the capital for their growth and also their personal luxuries of their CEO's. In fact, we are the real share-holders, making much of their logo. Yet in most cases their lackdaisal attitudes to even the basic human rights of their workers is really common place, giving the the definition of corporations and politicians as a collective of cold hearted individiuals cappable of even the basic human emotions.

March 8th perhaps was a wake-up call to all them. Perhaps they are really daft to the truth that the rakyat has had it up to here with the contradictions and lies funneled forth by the news media (which FYI, has their stock bought by the mainline BN parties). Just this month Kuala Terengannu is now under the Opposition; another death knell to BN. If the Barisan Nasional are keen to reinvent itself, the task that needs to be taken is the complete re-evaluation of the people and the policies. That itself calls for a major make-over; no amount of the verbal professing of reform and that could mirror the realites of total reform.

Bear in mind its not for the sake of electorial figure, rather it for the rakyat themselves. It needs to be noted while most of you would state that there is nothing wrong , underlying racial tesions and festering economic/social decay is the cold fact. You might say it is not your problem and get on with your gentrified lives of privelage but such selfishness would ultimately be the bullet that will hit you in the back. It is funny that in the ideal process of collectivism that every strata of society depends on each other to run the scene. I'd say say once the rot sets in one strata the whole nations will die together in the chaos. The working class needs the elite class and the elite class need the working class. We who blatantly profess to believe in democracy need to know that every member of society is vital to the whole process. Be it the street weeper or the MP, the chain reaction of duty runs the country in its full; bringing a sense of stabilty and income to all.

I'd think the best quote that sums it up is from suprisingly from metal god,Ozzy Osborne; "be good the everyone on your way to the top, because you'd never know you're gonna meet on the way down" True words. For once a nation goes belly up, it's not just the people but everyone, be it scum or king that feels the chop. Selfish elitism serves more as a grounds for fascistic dogmatism. To say that one particualr group is the be overlord for the greater good will only serve divide. There is no real peace and progress in division. At that very case there will be no real cause to even consider ourselves a true nation at all.

Let me say this very frankly.....

Empty feelings like a gutted house in the rain. He looks on in the emptiness of the room. A neatness that mirrors the giant void in life. The silence is frightening. It's just enough to make you squirm in your pants.

Was there any hope in the routine? Go to school, Go to tuition; to serve your role in the system. To deny all dreams and to mutate into some eyeless, earless drone incapable to feel?

It had been same before 1998. The calm around Malaysian soil. All thisvmasking the rot that was to explode like some corpse on a cremation chamber. The sheer abject silence from his peers was all but a plastic mask that hid the gaunt weariness etched by a silent vicious law drawn up in racialist fears and paranoia's. Still none of us stirred.

We just pretty much let it bleed.

We die in our own excess in idleness and pleasure. We all hope it just might kill the pain. To bring us to frontiers beyond loss and rejection. All this as the hypocrisy bleeds the rakyat dry. All this as we secretly crack snide at the outsiders and our fellow "pendatangs".

We fuck ourselves in our own self-righteousness. We think we are better than each.... still the fact remains.... the criminals are still the same.



Silence can be the worst enemy... It's hypocrisy can be the bloody dagger it holds.



Would one stand by, with all our qualifications and status in society to see our working class brothers being stiffed of their wages. To some of you it not your problem; for the screams are oh-so conveniently insulated by the garden walls of our closed world. "It's their problem" we reason. "Why rock the boat?" Perhaps it's really ironic considering that was the same logic taken by most Europeans as they watched the neighbors and friends of Jewish descent herded to the gas chambers, graciously submiting to the Third Reich's rule before following to a path of complicit destruction and guilt.

Question: Have we become so obsessive of our place in the machinery that we forsake our brother's and sister's who are oppressed and deemed not fit the ulterior motives of this hypocrisy.

What makes us so dammed sure that our place in the system would take us far from this nightmare? For corrupt men see no reason in the misdeeds to value the individuality of every single worker. For in their insecurity to find relevance and status they are willing to exploit, exploit and exploit. They use the cliches of friendship and family to motivate in their slavery. Once one ceases to be any use, he/she will be tossed aside like a used condom. to be shunned and ostascised for he simply has no use for the machinery.



So much for your glory now, ye of high repute! For the king and the peasant are of the same blood.




For even the Lord himself is no respector of men.
