2012 GPI Anwar,Ambiga And Pakatan Leaders Should Go Eat Humble Pie


Hantu Laut


No matter how hard you try to kill the truth, it shall prevail.


Inspite of the denigration of Malaysia by the political oppositions and its supporters as being an unsafe country it withstood the opposition damning lie. 


Bersih 3 was planned to be the forerunner of troubled Malaysia, but Malaysians are just too peace loving folks to start any real trouble.


Anwar Ibrahim and his band of political desperdoes can now put the money in their mouths and go eat humble pie.

Harris:Government Can Grant Citizenship To Immigrants



Kota Kinabalu: Former Chief Minister Tan Sri Harris Salleh said it is not necessary to serve a subpoena on him to appear before the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah when it begins hearings.
"I confirm that I will attend at any time, at any place to give evidence and information on the issue of illegals. There is no need to serve a subpoena on me, it is hoped that those people will lower their blood pressure after reading this statement," he said.
"First of all, it must be emphasised and stressed that the power of granting citizenship and issuing identity cards are vested with the Federal Government under the constitution and law", he said, in the statement, Monday.
This power, he said is now vested with the Ministry of Home Affairs and under the Constitution, the Federal Government can grant citizenship to anyone at anytime even after a few days of arrival, if it deems that person is of national interest.
"This is very clear and written in black and white. Thus, the most any person can do is to help make an application and make recommendation for those eligible to apply for either a permanent stay or citizenship," he said.
"Secondly, if my memory serves me right, it is the policy of the Federal Government since the late 1960s or early 1970s that anybody who is eligible to become citizen would be entertained and granted.
"This is particularly true to the refugees from Indo-China and later Philippines. The late Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, Malaysia's first Prime Minister announced publicly and openly, the policy that the Federal Government would accept and take Muslim refugees from Myanmar and that non-Muslims could go to Australia, Europe or USA.
"Tunku made this announcement when there were tens of thousands of Myanmar Rohingya refugees coming to Malaysia. It is expected that most of these refugees are now citizens.
"Tunku Abdul Rahman said very clearly in no uncertain terms that those refugees, who are Muslim can stay in Malaysia and would be granted citizenship. This policy is still valid today as the present Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak just a year ago signed an agreement with Australia on a refugee swap with Muslim refugees in Australia coming to Malaysia and non-Muslims going to Australia," he said.
Harris said thus, over the years out of the few hundred thousand Philippine refugees in Sabah, some were issued with IMM13 to allow them to stay in Malaysia, and they must have been accorded citizenship.
Hence, the population increase is a little higher than normal.
On the issue of illegal workers in Sabah, it appeared that there is no study being carried out as to why both employers and employees are at fault, knowing full well the severity of the punishment in store.
However, as pointed out from time to time there were about 200,000 illegal workers who came in legally with passports but over time and due to poor treatment by contractors and high government fees and changing policies, both employers and employees opted to illegal practices.
"It must be noted here that being illegal workers, life is like hell.
They cannot travel around as they like and they will be arrested.
The flow of workers from Indonesia is not going to be forever.
"The Indonesians and Indonesian Government are just 'sakit hati' and waiting for the day when the Indonesian workers will work in their own country. This is happening in Hong Kong where 10 years ago mainland people worked in Hong Kong and now it is the other way around," he said.
In conclusion, Harris said it was puzzling as to why calls for the establishment of the RCI is becoming more and more easy these days.
"Little issues such as people jumping from an apartment and the infamous Lingam tape does not need a RCI.
All these can be handled by the police," he said.
In the United Kingdom which has introduced the RCI more than 500 years ago, one never noticed any RCI being appointed on many important issues unlike in Malaysia.
"It is further noted that the Teoh and Lingam cases were just a waste of time to the commission panels and waste of government money," he said. Daily Express.

Recyling Politicians, Malaysia's Growing Industry.

Hantu Laut

Do you know that recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment?

Do you know?

1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours.

1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes. 

1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours.


70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials. 

What benefits do you get from recycling discarded politicians? 

When come to moral standard Malaysian politicians stood at the lowest rung and Malaysian society never learned from their mistakes, we condone and allow, the same dirt to come back, over and over again.

Anwar Ibrahim is visiting Sabah today and is on a business of collecting discarded politicians to join his party.This is the man who fired the loudest anti-corruption salvos at the government and yet have no qualm to collect such politicians to join him.

We, vehemently, complained about too much corruptions and abuse of power much of which, I dare say, we have no actual intention of getting rid of. 


We just want to get rid of the faces we don't like and replace with those we like , corrupt or otherwise, does not matter, as long as we get some benefits.

Have we learned anything? 


I am afraid not, we are just as corrupt as they are.Malaysians have the attitude, if he is my friend, it's alright to be corrupt, if he is not,  let's bedevil him.


Until we learn to get rid of such politicians, once and for all, this country would never change.


Just look at the names being mentioned, true or false, we'll wait and see.

Lajim Okin, Wilfred Bamburing, Yahya Lampoh, Osu Sukam, Kasitah Gaddam and Amir Kahar. 

Some of these people have been elected members for over two decades. Most have benefited from every succeeding government and have done absolutely nothing for the state.Haven't they had enough?

My Pick Of The Week - Stop The Lies



Lim Guan Eng, The CM Who Can’t Take Criticism

by Stop The Lies



Lim Guan Eng is losing the plot. Everytime something goes wrong for his government in Penang, he blames Umno or the previous government.
If that does not work, then he resorts to this: The BN government also do the same what. Why don’t you blame them? Why you only blame me? Not fair! Media lynching!
Well, @cmlimguaneng, we expect more from you because you and your party are so good at criticising others for corruption, incompetence, environmental mistakes, lack of transparency etc.
Now that you are in charge and with overwhelming powers to do the right thing, you instead do what the BN used to do – allow the developers to do as they like. Grab state land and rape the hills.
He blames the papers for playing up the hill projects but the media is merely reporting the complaints of Penang residents who have protested against landslides near their homes because of hill projects.
He claimed his government had not approved any hill projects but the landslide caused by the hill project was found to have been approved by his government. He lies as well as his opponents in the BN. Read more http://stopthelies.my/?p=1384.
