The Dayaks are not happy with P.M Najib's oversight, miscalculation, or calculated move. They want more ministers. Najib "kepala pusing" banyak orang "kepala besar" 

Karpal says abolish senate, he wants to kill our bicameral system. Maybe, he is right. Can save a lot of money by not paying the no work senators. Their salaries and perks must be running into millions each year for doing nothing.

Anwar Ibrahim says he is going to be arrested soon. Looks like he is stirring the hornet's nest, hoping there'll be an uprising if he is arrested, because he is so loved by the people. We must throw the BN government out he said. He is looking forward to be arrested so his dream of a Malaysian Spring will materialise. I say it won't happen, like rats abandoning a sinking ship.

Pakatan Rakyat Sabah will form a shadow cabinet to monitor Sabah government performance said political chapman Lajim Bin Ukin. When the money ran out, don't rule out this man returing to UMNO. One lost Pakatan candidate, former UMNO man who ditched the party at the eleventh hour to join PR is knocking on Musa Aman's door, saying he was misled.

P.Warthamooty, Najib's magicked minister described his appointment as "historic opportunity to change the fortunes of the Indian community". Let's hope he is not like Samy Velu, who changed the Indian fortunes and kept all for himself. 

Getting a little tired of politics, let's enjoy the beauty of Sabah.

Najib's Survival Cabinet

Malaysian PM turns to old foe's allies for help

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak has appointed what amounts to a survival cabinet, turning to allies of former foe Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to fend off intra-party challenges in the wake of the May 5 election, in which the opposition actually won the popular vote but was thwarted from taking power by gerrymandered constituencies.

Some of the appointments represent a sharp about-turn by Najib from the policies of former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and the deputy prime minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, whom an outraged Mahathir is said to be attempting to goad into trying to push out Najib immediately as prime minister and head of the United Malays National Organization instead of waiting until the October party Annual General Assembly. Although the opposition has pointed to the appointments of Shahidan Kassim and Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor as indications of Mahathir's clout, the opposite seems to be true.Read more.

Before he even started, they already gave him headache. 

Wow! What a way towards mending and winning the people's hearts and minds. 

Reconciliation, the Prime Minister talking about repairing the severe lost of confidence of his government by urban voters and the Chinese community, seemingly, a voice in the wilderness, his ministers have their own ideas how to please the people, or rather how to undermine him.

If you think the low magnitude Hishamuddin Onn was bad enough and everyone rejoiced of his exit from the Home Ministry, we may now conclude that the Ministry is jinxed,  to be driven by another  insensitive, impervious, smarmy and blundering minister. 

In less than two days of taking office this nutty as a fruitcake minister tell Malaysians to leave the country if they don't like the system. He has another 1,822 days to go. Let's hope he gets off his high horse.

Zahid Hamidi, the new Home Minister had a glorious day insulting his countrymen to leave the country if they don't like the parliamentary system here.

Anwar's belligerency should be dealt with by the law, not by lambasting the people.

As citizens of this country we have constitutional rights to question the system, but at the end of the day the majority shall prevail. Ministers do not have God's given right to tell us to leave the country if we disagree with them.

 "It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool than open it and remove all doubt" ...Mark Twain. 

Haa! Mark Twain, had two of his books as literature in schools, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

Always ponder before you open your big mouth.

No thanks to Najib for choosing this noisome and bumptious minister.

I am pretty sure Obama has been briefed by his diplomatic mission and intelligence services on the results of the 13th Malaysian General Election.

The U.S President is fully aware of the working of our parlimentary system and with the exception of free access to the media raised by the White House, the President have not raised any triable issue.

Anwar is now implying that the U.S State Department of gross incompetence by not telling the President according to his perception of what occurred during the 13th GE that they have won the popular votes yet could not form the government because of massive cheating by BN to retain the government. 

Below is an example of the same parliamentary system used in the U.K. 

The 2005 U.K.Elections gave Labour only 36.1% of the total votes and they managed to form the government on their own, against the total oppositions votes of 64.%

Seats This table indicates those parties with over one seat, Great Britain only		Seats %	Votes %	Votes
Labour Party	355	56.5	36.1	9,552,436
Conservative Party	198	31.5	33.2	8,782,192
Liberal Democrats	62	9.9	22.6	5,985,454
Scottish National Party	6	1.0	1.6	412,267
Plaid Cymru	3	0.5	0.7	174,838
Others	4	0.6	5.7	1,523,716
628				26,430,908

The Labour Party only had 36.1% of the total votes but 56.5% of the total seats.The Conservative and all other parties put together had 63.9% of the votes but only 43.5% of the seats.

Even if all the opposition parties joined forces, they still do not have enough seats to form the government.

No one in the opposition complained that the UK electoral roll is dirty or the system is fucked up.The losers took it in their stride.
