Pahang MB Is He Guilty Of Contempt Of Court ?

Hantu Laut

Are politicians and civil servants above the law? Why should they be allowed to show disrespect to our courts while ordinary Malaysians who dared to show contempt would have to face the music ?

Contempt of court usually carries imprisonment, and the same sentence, without any exception, should apply to ministers, chief ministers, menteri besar and the prime minister if they show disrespect to the court.

Read the story here , which shows without any doubt the arrogance of the Menteri Besar of Pahang, refusing to pay the plaintiff for judgement against the state government affirmed by the highest court in the country.

The Federal Court has affirmed the judgement made by the lower court.Even if the blunder was made by his predecessor the state would still have to pay the plaintiff.

The law forbids the foreclosure of state assets even if judgement has been granted against the state government.A judgement against any state government or for that matter the Federal government could just be a useless piece of paper if you don't know how to enforce it.

The Pahang Menter Besar is using this protective law to ignore the court order, or the state government has no money to pay up, which is most unlikely, as the state can always seek help of the Federal government.

I sympathise with the plaintiff, he must be at his wits end on what to do next, so much so, he is barking up the wrong tree, asking the Prime Minister to intervene. Najib can only mediate, he can't enforce the court order, only the court can do so.

The plaintiff should go back to the court and cite the Menteri Besar for contempt and if he still refused to pay, the court, I'll be surprised, if he is not thrown in prison.

You can't get the state assets but you can get the Menteri Besar.

That was my two pennies worth of advice.

Hudud: Najib Should Not Fall Into The Trap

Hantu Laut

Wow! Anwar Ibrahim must be at the end of his tether. Supporting hudud law in Kelantan. Story here.

DAP leaders must be pissing in their pants now that PAS is getting support from PKR to implement hudud, first in Kelantan and than nationwide when they take Putrajaya.

It's a strong message to DAP which has become arrogant lately as more and more people predict that they would get most of the Chinese seats in the 13th GE (General Elections)and would become very dominant partner in the coalition.

PAS have indicated in the past their desire to pass hudud for the whole nation, it certainly would not stop at Kelantan if they get bigger mandate than DAP and PKR, which they might if UMNO lose majority Malay supports.It is looking more and more unlikely now that Anwar is rocking the DAP secular boat.

Anwar has challenged Najib to state his stand on the matter.

Obviously, it is a trap and Najib should stay focus and not fall into the trap..

Najib should tell Anwar to fly kite and stand by the Federal constitution.The status quo stay as long as BN is running the country.

Why Are Pakatan Leaders Not Asking For Royal Commission On The Anwar's Video Sex Tape

Hantu Laut

Read here, the double standards of Pakatan leaders, putting political expediency ahead of moral standard of the man who is likely to be the future prime minister of this country.

Indeed! Don't you think Pakatan Rakayat's leaders would be screaming their heads off if it was Najib implicated in the sex video? Would they not be asking for a Royal Commission (RC)? Would they not be asking for his resignation? Would they not be asking for his head on the chopping block?

They have asked and pushed for RC on the Lingam's tape and the death of Teo Beng Hock.The government obliged and what did they do, they ridiculed the findings of the RC.

The latest video released by Papagomo shows a spitting image of Anwar and his friend Eskay entering and leaving the building where the video was taken.

Why not do one on Anwar to clear his name since he aspires to be the prime minister?

Alternatively, Anwar can haul the 3 Datuks to court to clear his name.

Building Castles In The Air ?

As a Sabahan it shocked me that there is a goldmine sitting right in front of my doorstep.

Most Sabahans wouldn't know of this goldmine called Pulau Montukod.

Brace yourself for the price tag, a whopping RM35 million for 17.2 acres.


The only fault you can kind find with the island is its English, it says in the heart of Borneo, which means it is somewhere in the central part of Borneo or thereabout.That would be somewhere in Kalimantan.

Actually, it is just a few kilometers off Kota Kinabalu.

Here's one in the Bahamas 24.69 acres for a mere US$2.3 million.
