Hantu Laut.
The man have said his piece.
I think it is time to let the Ahmad Ismail's haughty episode be water under the bridge.The politicians should move on and start looking at the bigger picture.The media should grow up and stop sensationalising on the issue.
Harping on it incessantly and insisting that UMNO takes action against him for expressing his own opinion make us looked even worse than him.
The Deputy Prime Minister has apologised (which he needs not to) on behalf of his party.The Prime Minister has clearly said it is not the party stand.
The man himself has said it was misreported by an overzealous reporter.
Enough have been said.We should give the man the benefit of the doubt and be damned with it.

Psychological Warfare,Hot-Air,Plausible Untruth And Semantic
Hantu Laut
Sept 5 has just passed and there were still no sign of Sabah BN MPs mass exodus to Pakatan camp.Anwar's campaign to lure those restive MPs is gaining momentum but showing little sign of becoming a reality in the coming days.
It would be interesting to know where DAP and PAS stand on this. DAP have bemoaned such undemocratic action before and PAS being an Islamic party would know better where Islam stands on this issue.As for Anwar I don't think he really cares, as long as he gets there,whatever it takes, the end justifies the means.
Meanwhile, the man at the centre of the Chinese' pendatang' controversy had come out and said his speech was misreported by a Chinese reporter and is now trying to shift the blame to the reporter.Good God! Does it take that long to come back with a rebuttal? Pathetically, hot-air in the fug.Our man Ahmad Ismail had just recovered from temporary amnesia.
Even more amusing is Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's revelation that he gave the go ahead for BN MPs to go on overseas study tour organised by the BN Backbencers Club to polish their skills in the art of dog eat dog and to stay clear of the nation's most feared top dog, Anwar Ibrahim (he didn't say this part,I said it).
Incidentally, they chose the date that accidentally coincides with the dreaded date of Sept 16, the day Anwar says Abdullah's government would crumple and he would become the Prime Minister.
The DPM says it has nothing to do with the Sept 16 anticipated crossover. He certainly has the gift of the gab to convince Malaysians to believe the truth of the plausible untruth.
In another twist of the tale, UPKO Youth chief Donald Mojuntin had responded to Herbert of PBS lambasting of UPKO President Bernard Dompok in supporting Yong Tet Lee 's proposed demolition of the Prime Minister. He said "Seeking support for the motion of no confidence against the PM or asking him to resign is actually the same.It is a matter of semantics" .
Yeah! big word, small brain, where does the word 'resign' and 'no confidence' stand related in the semantic field. 'Vote of no confidence' - you forcibly throw him out against his free will.'Resign' - he can leave on his own free will and has a choice not to accede to your demand.
Would 'rape" and having an 'intercourse' be semantic, the act is the same, in both instances you are having sex.
Now, I know why this country is in trouble.

Putrajaya: 'A Bridge Too Far'
Hantu Laut
Many of us who are now in the fifties or older would have seen the 1977 Richard Attenborough's epic war movie 'A Bridge Too Far'.It depicted one of the biggest military gamble in World War II that ended in catastrophic failure.
Flush with success after the Normandy landing,the Allied forces under Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower chose British Montgomery's military plan over American Patton's plan to end World War II as quickly as possible.
'Operation Market Garden' was launched to invade Germany by flying 35,000 paratroopers from air bases in England and dropping them as much as 60 miles behind enemy lines in the Netherlands.The objective was to break through German lines to capture several bridges with main objective the bridge at Arnhem over the Lower Rhine River in occupied Netherlands.
A combination of battlefield politics,arrogance,faulty intelligence, bad luck and atrocious weather led to disaster.
'Operation Market Garden' was a total failure.
Was Permatang Pauh a 'Normandy' landing and Putrajaya so near yet 'A Bridge Too Far' for Anwar Ibrahim ?
Good News For Pak Lah: SAPP Breaking Up
Hantu Laut
After all the bad news swirling around Pak Lah, there are some good news from the "Land Below The Wind".
As anticipated SAPP appears heading for a split.Several high ranking party officials contemplating leaving the party.Many are fed up with Yong over his repeated actions to embarrass the Prime Minister and the top BN leadership.
The Daily Express reported that at least 2 vice-presidents and up to 6 Supreme council members may quit the party in the coming days.
The vice-presidents and Supreme council members boycotted a convention organised by SAPP on Sabah issues on Saturday.Ironically, Harris Salleh, Yong's long-time political enemy now turned erstwhile opponent spoke at the convention invited by Yong. Even Tawau MP Chua Soon Bui had distanced herself from the party leadership.She and many SAPP top leaders were absent.
According to the source many are fed up with the way Yong led the party as most of the statements he made were not agreeable to the majority of the party leaders and Supreme council members.
In another event, PBS Vice-President Herbert Timbon took to task UPKO President and Minister in the Prime Minister's department Bernard Dompok for his statement on Wednesday that there should be no reason to stop any BN component member from having discussions or meetings with the opposition for reason of strengthening the Government.Dompok also said he sees nothing wrong with Yong meeting Anwar as UMNO has also met PAS over similar matter.
God knows where this minister come from who can't differentiate between a turncoat and an army that wanted to consolidate its position.They are not one and the same.
Such atrocious statement coming from a minister in the PM's department can only mean Dompok has the intention of abandoning ship and only waiting for the right time.
The PM should watch this man closely.Potential
?
If you can't give your loyalty,don't beat around the bush, be a man, resign and join the opposition.After all you have been a
before and it's not going to make your name smell any better.
Anwar, beware! Don't buy a pig in the poke.
