Hantu Laut
Watch the video.A joint press conference between US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman.Can you see any semblance of severe case of delusion as preferred by this envious and sycophantic DJ blogger here.
He speaks well and better than some of our previous ministers and didn't have the kampong accent of Anwar Ibrahim.
Setting the record straight is not an attack.Only those carrying Anwar's ball would intentionally misconstrue what he says.
Don't have to be prolix to send the message across.

Should The Sultan Prorogue The Perak State Assembly ?
Hantu Laut
There seems to be no end in sight to the Perak crisis.The situation had gotten worse by the diverse interpretations and misinterpretations of the constitution.The latest cooking of the broth was one by Tommy Thomas, so-called constitutional expert and one of the counsels for the insolent Sivakumar. Are there lawyers who actually specialised in constitutional law in this country or just another one of those general practitioners?
A check on Tommy Thomas revealed he had been charged for contempt of court.The judgement of the Court Of Appeal is here.Those in Pakatan seem to court lawyers that have little respect for our judicial system.Those that make derogatory statements against the judiciary if judgement made were not in their favour.
The crisis in Perak is exacerbated mostly by lawyers or so-called legal minds giving their own interpretations of the law.The monarch, the judicial system and the powers that be have all been mauled and mercilessly dragged in the mud. Dialectic is gone and dead, replaced by act of confrontation and civil society that have gone bonkers with defiance and incivility. Even an ex-ISA detainee that has been released recently showed continued defiance and little respect for the law threatening the government to show his displeasure by going to the streets with thousands of his supporters. A wannabe hero the likes of Ghandi and Mendela except he is a ruffian and a troublemaker rather than a man of conscience, obviously seeking fame on the wrong platform.
The Perak crisis will not go away and if there is not going to be a dissolution soon the only possible solution is for the Sultan to prorogue the state assembly under Article 36.2 of the constitution until the court clear all the cases.The sitting menteri besar can seek the Sultan's indulgence for prorogation of the assembly with a time frame.
To be fair to both sides the court must show expediency to dispose off the cases as quickly as possible and whatever the judgement was both sides must show respect.
The Perak case have some similarity with the 2008-2209 Canadian political dispute where oppositions parties in the House of Commons planned to pass a vote of no confidence against the minority government formed by the Conservative Party only six weeks after a general elections.Prime Minister Stephen Harper requested the Governor-General to prorogue parliament thereby delaying a possible change in government. Dissolution was not considered as the Governor-General felt to put the Canadian people through an election before six months would have been irresponsible.
It has been slightly over a year since the general elections. Whether it is fair to drag the Perakians to the polls again would be a matter of interpretation.
Just an idea.

Second DPM in PKR's Sabah manifesto
Hantu Laut
Whether Anwar Ibrahim offered Anifah Aman the DPM post or not only both of them would know.
The promise of a DPM post is definitely in PKR's Sabah manifesto as widely reported before the 8 March 2008 General Elections in major newspapers in Sabah.Since Pakatan failed to take over power the DPM post must have been left open for the frog that can bring the most frogs over to Pakatan..

Kota Kinabalu: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sabah, launched another manifesto here themed "A New Hope for Sabah and Malaysia" promising a second Deputy Prime Minister if it rules the land below the wind.
"As partners to the formation of Malaysia, the Borneo states deserve to have a Deputy Prime Minister for without the Borneo states, there would have been no Malaysia.
"Thus, under the PKR government there will be a second Deputy Prime Minister for East Malaysia," the PKR said in its 14-point manifesto launched Wednesday by State PKR Vice President Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan. State PKR head Ansari Abdullah was also present.
Other points in the manifesto included termination of any petroleum agreement with national oil company, Petronas, and replacing it with a petroleum sharing agreement apart from a review of the Petronas Act to give a fair revenue to Sabah.
PKR would also ensure that state immigration be placed under "state matter," where the movement of people in and out of Sabah would come under the purview of the state government and "the director of immigration would be a Sabahan".
The party said if it rules Sabah, Federal Territory Labuan will come under the jurisdiction of Sabah without changing the status of the island as an Offshore Financial Centre.
PKR also promised to introduce a comprehensive economic and development plan for Sabah called the Development Agenda for Sabah.
For the March 8 election, the opposition is putting up 55 candidates for the 59 states seats.
It promised to resolve the illegal immigrant problem in Sabah, restore relevant State rights, see to land reforms as well as set up a comprehensive economic and development plan for the State.
The manifesto also focussed on increasing the State's per capita income from RM10,000 to RM15,000, promoting transparency in the government as well as ensuring more women participate in decision-making processes.
PKR also wants to replace the Federal Development Department in Sabah (JPPS), which it describes as a waste of public funds, with a State Development Department (JPN) to ensure development funds go straight to the State Government.
On land reforms, PKR promised to restore the role of the village chiefs (Ketua Kampung) and Ketua Anak Negeri in land applications besides setting up a Land Reform Committee to review existing land laws.
An agency known as the Sabah Native Land Development Authority (SNLDA) will also be established by a PKR government for native land and interest.
The party also vowed to democratise the appointments of Village Development and Security Committees (JKKKs) as well as village chiefs (Ketua Kampung) and ensure these JKKKs are actively involved in the development of the respective villages. As such all projects costing RM25,000 and below will be implemented directly by these JKKKs.
PKR Vice-President Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the manifesto is a supplement to the national PKR manifesto entitled "A New Dawn for Malaysia", which was launched recently by party adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"I am confident the people would accept the manifesto as they have had enough of Barisan Nasional's empty promises since it come to power", he said after the launching at his residence at Bukit Padang, near here.
He claimed the BN's just unveiled manifesto themed "Security, Peace and Prosperity" was just another of its sweet promises".
"We must remember that when BN launched 'Sabah Baru' in the previous election, it promised to reduce poverty to zero, housing for all, etcÉ but today we bear witness that all their promises have not been fulfilled and for that the current government must be change," he said.
Jeffrey went on to say that the real power in BN Sabah was Umno and that the 10 component parties have little say in the State Government.
He urged the people of Sabah, especially the young voters not to be misled by the BN's promises and instead vote PKR for change.
"Sabahans have a history of making brave changes when needed and together we can do it again," he said.

Who Is The Liar ?
Hantu Laut
Can you trust politicians to tell the truth? If your answer is in the affirmative than you could well qualify to be a politician. Lying and deception are some of the essential ingredients if you want to be a successful politician. Only truthful politician turned out to becoming great statesman.True statesmen are rare and hard to come by these days.Nowadays, most politicians come from bottom of the barrel.
One of the biggest lairs of the modern world was former US President George Bush.He managed to keep himself in office by diverting attention and created a common enemy for the American people, the so-called war on terror, basically war against Muslim countries that don't subscribe to his policy.Destroyed two Muslims nations under the pretext of seeking out weapons of mass destruction and one man, Osama Bin Laden.None was found but hundred of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans killed by his weapons of mass destruction.
Foreign Minister Anifah Aman when posed a question by a reporter about Anwar Ibrahim politically motivated charges (self-interpreted) responded by saying he has utmost faith in our judicial system.He said the court is free and independent as can be seen in the case of the High Court decision to declare Nizar as the legitimate Menteri Besar of Perak.
To counter Anwar's persistent campaign to cast bad light on the government internationally, Anifah revealed that Anwar is not exactly what he portrays himself to be, an honest man and victim of trumped-up charges by those in power.Anwar is not as straight as a die as many seem to think. His offer to Anifah the DPM post if Pakatan took over the government is an open secret and was reported as far back as May 2008 in an article in Malaysian Insider. Why didn't Anwar refuted what was reported then?
Anwar had proven that he is capable of telling the untruths.His numerous declarations of taking over the federal government by saying he has sufficient number of BN lawmakers crossing over to his side never materialised.He gave his big day, the day BN would be decimated and Anwar Ibrahim become 'Lord Of The Rings', was on 16 Sept 2008.
The whole nation waited in suspense for his glorious day of reckoning and what happened? Nothing ! There were no fireworks and not a single BN's MP ditched the party and crossed over to his side. To fool the Malaysian public further he even taunted former PM Abdullah Badawi to step down and threatened to march to Puterajaya to demand Abdullah's resignation.He said the opposition alliance is now seeking a meeting with Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to stake claim to the government and to give him the opportunity to exit gracefully. "We want the transition to be peaceful" he said.
The proofs are there what this man is capable of in his quest for power.
Some, like this blogger here, here and here, reeks of bias and envy, thinks Anifah was wrong to expose what Anwar is.
As sure as the sunrise, not that he has a good cause and a strong case, Anwar was quick to employ his demagogic style and threatened to sue Anifah.He knows the court case would drag on for years before it sees the light of day and in the meantime his supporters would be awed by his righteousness.That's what demagogue are made of, to rouse people's emotions and Anwar is a skillful master of this kind of political stratagem.
The blogger concerned must have forgotten about the rules of fair play. The privilege is not only Anwar who can run down the government overseas, likewise, the government has every right to defend itself against false accusations and Anifah as Foreign Minister and spokesman for the government has every right to set the record straight.
I take the last paragraph of the blogger's sycophantic defense of Anwar Ibrahim below:
"One hopes our Ambassador to the US (Jamaluddin Jarjis?) won’t be as uncharismatic and parochial as our Foreign Minister so that we can actually improve relations with our most important trading partner, and not burn more bridges. If it’s Jamaluddin Jarjis I daresay we’re in for more comic relief".
Below is Anwar's response:
Who is the liar?
A second deputy prime minister among many other promises were definitely in PKR's manifesto.In spite of all the spicy promises PKR failed to capture any seat in Sabah.Read the article here.
Here is another conspiracy that holds no water involving Muhyiddin Yassin.Offers were also purportedly made to Lim Kit Siang and Yong Teck Lee.
If you are dumb-headed or of one-track mind, don't bother to read, because no matter what factual evidence provided here it is not going to make any difference to you.

Below is Anwar's response:
Expressing shock over Anifah’s allegations, Anwar chided the minister for faring poorly in his international debut as foreign minister, which he said reflected his inexperience and immaturity.
“I have spoken to Anifah only once on the phone and that’s it…,” said Anwar after a meet-the-people session in his Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency.
“I never offered the DPM post to him for him to defect. The issue indeed was never raised. He was never qualified for such a position anyway. Perhaps it was his dream to become deputy prime minister.”
He suggested that the minister was perhaps overawed and overwhelmed by the occasion. “After all, being a new minister before an international audience for the first time, he was probably prompted to impress his new political master,” chided Anwar, confirming that he would soon be filing a civil suit against Anifah for defamation.
“As the matter would be in court, I prefer not to comment further on the issue,” he said, adding that Anifah was seeking to tarnish his image abroad.
So, he did speaks to Anifah over the phone. Weren't you fishing for BN's MPs then? Why call if you have nothing to offer?Who is the liar?
