Where Is Ansari Abdullah ?

Hantu Laut

PKR Tuaran division chief Ansari Abdullah who has been a loyal and dedicated party member for many years made a pre-emptive announcement of candidates of his choice earlier this month. His list was later rubbished by PKR deputy president Azmin Ali.

His action shows a clear depth of distrust against PKR central leadership. People who can't be trusted to keep their words. 

Ansari's name have not appeared anywhere on the list of PKR candidates that have gone around the political sphere. 

UPKO's turncoat Wilfred Bamburing is slated to contest the Tuaran parliamentary seat and Tamparuli state seat, leaving Ansari out in the cold. 

Is Ansari being punished for his pre-empative announcement of his own candidate list?

If there is anyone who should contest the Tuaran seat, it should be Ansari. 

Has Anwar ever been honourable with his promises ?

Anwar also promised Ibrahim Menudin to contest in Labuan and Douglas Lind in Tenom, both are ex-UMNO members who ditched the party a few months back to join PKR and are considered newcomers at the angst of long-serving party members. Both have started campaigning in the promised constituencies about two months ago based on assurances given by Anwar. 

Ibrahim had distributed free rice to the kampong folks in Labuan in the hope of getting their supports. He has now been moved to Bongawan to face the hyenas.

Douglas, who was so sure of standing in Tenom, unfortunately, was not selected. Being newcomer the rejection may not be as painful as Ansari.

Sabah PKR is in a real shambles as long-serving and loyal party members are being sidelined for newcomers to contest the elections.

Can we trust a man who never kept his words to lead this country?

Updated: PKR has confirmed that Ibrahim Menudin will also contest the Labuan parliamentary seat.

More to come..



Lowering Car Prices: Killing The Myth

Hantu Laut

Lowering car prices.

Another one of Anwar and Pakatan's hollow propaganda to fool the people.

After I posted my article "Reducing Oil Prices: Anwar On The Stump, Stumping The Idiots",  a regular commentator of this blog by pseudonym SM challenged me to not only expose our fuel prices being one of the lowest in the world and lowest in the region, but to also provide analysis and comparison of car prices with other countries in the region. 

SM, is also a diehard supporter of Anwar Ibrahim and Pakatan Rakyat. Like most Malaysians he thinks our car prices are highest in the world. 

Well, SM,  you are in for a big surprise, I will lay down facts and figures to show that was not the case. Our car prices are one of the lowest in the region. 

I am talking about cars for the working class, not luxury cars craved by the wealthy, which in spite of the high prices are selling very well in this country. 

The streets of Kuala Lumpur, other towns and cities are littered with posh cars of all luxury brands. A clear sign that there are more than enough people with more than enough money to buy them. 

In Malaysia, cars are still seen as status symbol, particularly, among the Chinese community, a reflection of their success in business or in their profession. Though considered expensive by Western standard these luxury cars are selling very well in Malaysia and more often than not they be owned by Chinese business people.

It is not surprising that Anwar and other PKR leaders the likes of Rafizi Ramli and Azmin Ali tried to delude the people by blaming wrong government policy for the high prices of cars, which is completely untrue,  pure fiction and propaganda to fool unthinking Malaysians.

Below is the price of  a popular Japanese model in the Asean region.

Price of Toyota Vios 1.5 c.c

Malaysia - RM71,105. = US$23,389.00

Indonesia - Rp221,950,000. = US$22,833.00

Philippine - P869,000. = US$21,003.00

Thailand - THB559,000. = US$19,302.00

Singapore - $109,988. = US$88,864.00

Looking at the prices above are we much more expensive than our neighbours?

Malaysian made cars are even cheaper than the above foreign made model. 

The cheapest in the market of a compact 4-door sedan is the Proton Saga 1.3 c.c. costing around US$11,479.00. Another popular model the Perodua MYVI is selling around US$14,456.00.

Unless, you want to bring the "one-lakh" car from India to this country which is just a basic body with an engine and four wheels, which is not likely to fit the Malaysian more sophisticated taste, the current prices for the type of cars available here are already almost floor level. 

Ask Anwar and Rafizi how much lower can they go?

You probably can reduce by another 20% by removing all standard accessories that comes with it, which means no power windows, no power steering, no CD player, no sporty wheels, no cruise control, no electronically controlled side view mirrors and many more nonessentials. 

Can you sell such basic cars in this market?

The current government policy of keeping car prices cheap for the proletariat and higher prices for luxury cars is the correct policy. It's a caring policy for the economically disadvantaged. 

Our car prices are already lowest in the region. 

Unfortunately, most Malaysians do not bother to check the facts and prefer to eat the opposition's wholesome lies, hook, line and sinker.

Reducing Oil Prices: Anwar On The Stump, Stumping The Idiots.

Hantu Laut

Anwar is again trying to fool the people, again, and again, and again, and stumping the idiots who failed their mathematics. Orang yang tak pandai kira seperti Anwar.  

How much lower can he reduces fuel prices? 

Malaysia is already one of the lowest in the world and the lowest in the region. We are almost at par with the giants of oil producing countries.

I don't have to say in so many words.See charts below.

Choose your government wisely. There are more liars and racists in Pakatan than you ever realised.

Can they run a clean government? 

After collecting all the rubbish from UMNO, more rubbish in the offing. 

See who is their latest recruit!

"Mat Tyson", the ex-mentari besar of Selangor, who was caught in Australia with huge amount of unexplained money in his bag.

Macam mana kerajaan boleh bersih kalau boleh terima pencuri-pencuri tua dari UMNO.

Fikir!

Clive Kessler: The Nutty Professor

Hantu Laut

Here he comes again. It's Kessler's time. 

This time, reading too much into Najib's dissolution speech.

His writing here is nothing more than thought reading on a speech lost in translation and impalpable idiosyncratic ranting of a quirky academician.

Below is Najib's full dissolution speech in Malay. 



If you can find similarity of the above speech with this so-called political anatomists's writing, you must be as nutty as he is.

All Najib said was there should be a smooth and calm transition of power should there be any change in the government of the day, whether at state or federal level.

In all likelihood the insinuation was directed at Pakatan held states that are likely to fall to the BN.
