PKR is in a mess and who gets the blame? Najib and Rosmah? The story here.
Anwar Ibrahim blames Najib and his wife for the troubles in PKR.How long is he going to keep blaming others for his own shortcomings.It wasn't Najib nor Rosmah who is leading PKR.It wasn't Najib or Rosmah who picked those men in the first place.
Instead of looking himself in the mirror and ponders where he has gone wrong over the years that so many of his friends and aides have left him, he tries to hoodwink Malaysians that it is always others who should be blamed for his troubles.The conspiracy against him by Najib now includes political espionage and buying of his lawmakers.
He said "It’s a difficult for me to understand if there’s no other circumstances, knowing that the Najib-Rosmah strategy is to try to buy people as much as possible,”
Feeling angry and stressed? Feel sorry for yourself? Tired of it? Stop pointing fingers and start taking responsibility.
Before the year end more lawmakers will leave him not because of Najib and Rosmah's offer of money (only fools would believe him) but because they are fed up with his arrogance and dictatorial ways. It's more of 'familiarity breeds contempt' rather than interference by external forces.
He may have to give up the opposition leadership to Lim Kit Siang or Hadi when PKR's total MPs dropped below DAP and PAS.
Absolute monarchy in Penang? Or was it communistic-minded as inferred by former PKR's Zahrain Hashim?
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has given himself absolute power in sacking any contractor appointed by the state at any time without having to give any reason whatsoever for the cancellation.
Does Lim think by inserting such clause in the agreement it would protect him from legal action if he decides to cancel such contract on his whim and fancy?
Lim should familiarise himself with the law of contract and rules of fair play.Such contract is deemed lopsided and could be challenged in the court of law.
Is this just another of UMNO's war of attrition against him and Pakatan Rakyat or there is truth to the story?
To be fair to Lim, let us not jump to conclusion, let us hear his side of the story
DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang is in town to do his rabble-rousing particularly with the Kadazan community.He even attended UPKO Chinese New Year open house and met Bernard Dompok who has long wanted to do what Yong Teck Lee did.Leave the BN and sit on the fence.But for the moment the cosy position is keeping him comfortable in BN.Others present were Donald Mojuntin,Yong Teck Lee and Edward Khoo.
Lim also claimed he had dinner with Kadazan leaders from DAP and PKR.Visibly missing was Jeffery Kitingan and other PKR leaders.
Lim also met up with Sabah political bloggers and have coined a new word ...deavatarise, whatever that mean.Maybe, James Cameron should check whether he has committed copyright infringement.
Visited Kota Belud and had lukewarm reception.Picture says a thousand words.
Quoted Chinese prostitutes and Indian beggars as scourge of Najib's administration.Reminded the Kadazan of BN failure keeping its promise......keeping the rotation of chief minister alive.Says Kadazan got only 9 months, Chinese 4 years and Malay 11 years.Visited 'Double Six' Mausoleum to stir up more Kadazan sentiments.Says it is time Kadazan reflect what went wrong that the rights of Kadazan have been trampled on and the people marginalised.
Who is stirring racial sentiments, Mr Lim? You or UMNO?
Asking Sabahans whether they have been granted full citizenship rights as Malaysians.Not sure what he meant by that.Only stupid Sabahans would react to such shit-stirring.We are happy to be part of Malaysia.Certainly, far better than being part of the Philippines.
Says Sabah is poorest state in Malaysia.Parroting what Sabah leaders are saying to get more Federal funds.We can't say we are rich and expect Federal to give us more money.Sabah politicians are much smarter than you Mr Lim, they keep harping of being poor to get more money from the Federal government.We are certainly much better and richer than tiny Malacca and your son's kingdom, Penang.The last time I was there this so called 'Pearl of the Orient' has become the 'Dumps of the Orient'.Bad roads,bad traffic jam and rubbish everywhere.
Says very impressed with wannabe Raja Petra type blogger Ronnie Klessen.This former purveyor of fun fairs and member of PKR is very active political blogger in Sabah.
Mr Lim, Sabahans are simple people, the true 1 Malaysia.Why bring your dirty shit stirring politics here.
You accused UMNO of being racist.Look at you stirring selected community hoping to raise racial issues for your selfish agenda.
'Royalty' or 'Goodwill'? The UMNO boys like to call it 'Wang Ehsan'.Tengku Razaleigh thinks otherwise even at the expense of being sacked from UMNO.One man who stood by his principle.
The BN government says Kelantan is not entitled to oil royalty payment.On the other hand, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, founding chairman of Petronas, whom I presumed knew better, insisted that Kelantan is entitled to such payment by virtue of the Petroleum Development Act.The relevant section which Razaleigh refering to is reproduced below.I presumed, the section become relevant in relation with the agreement signed by the state with Petronas.
4. Cash payment by the Corporation.
In return for the ownership and the rights, powers, liberties and privileges vested in it by virtue of this Act, the Corporation shall make to the Government of the Federation and the Government of any relevant State such cash payment as may be agreed between the parties concerned.
One of the reasons given by the Federal government that disqualify Kelantan from receiving the oil royalty was that the oil fields were beyond the state's three-mile territorial waters.The oilfields in Sabah, Sarawak and Terengganu are well beyond the three-mile limit.
Are there no more honest people in government that can stand up and show sense of probity. Be honourable enough to admit that what Razaleigh claimed is true.
I am very familiar with most of the oil fields in the west coast of Sabah.From Semarang off Labuan to the North Furious rig west of Kudat.Being a blue water angler my fishing trips take me close to some of the rigs.The whole stretch of the west coast are dotted with rigs at various distances from the mainland, ranging from 25 to 50 nautical miles from the mainland.None are inside the 3-mile limit.Yet, Sabah along with Sarawak and Trengganu get paid 5% oil royalty.
What example are our leaders setting by this blatant disregard of probity and disrespect for written agreement which Razaleigh claimed was signed between the Kelantan state government and Petronas and by virtue of Article 4 of the Petroleum Development Act entitled Kelantan to the 5% royalty payment.
If the Federal government, the legislative makers of this nation can dishonour an agreement with its own state and at its whim and fancy what chance has ordinary citizen like us against the might of government and big corporations.
I wonder what kind of advises Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak gets that every time he announces a policy he loses more credibility and rebuff him from the people.The many unpleasant things that happened recently have ridiculed his 1 Malaysia effort.His government has become a government of "contradiction in terms"
Instead of spinning the untruths, it would be better for him to own up and admit that his government refused to pay Kelantan the oil royalty because it is govern by the opposition and giving them lots of money is like putting a noose around his government's neck.Former Prime Minister Mahatir Mohammad did that to Terengganu. Holding back payment when PAS ruled Terengganu and channelling it directly through Federal agencies.
If Kelantan is entitled to the money than the Federal government, if fearful of putting the money in PAS's hands, should directly pump it into developments in Kelantan instead of giving all kind of lame excuses which only make the people angrier and more determine to kick them out of office.
If Kelantan did sign an agreement with Petronas and by virtue of the Petroleum Development Act than that money is due to Kelantan as of rights, not Wang Ehsan.
