“I’m not going to rely on the court’s decision. It is only a legal process, the solution is to give the people the right to choose a new government,” said Nizar to reporters outside the courtroom yesterday.
The Court of Appeal is expected to give its verdict today and it could go either way.However, Nizar has already made up his mind not to take heed by saying he is not going to rely on the court's decision but would push for dissolution.From what I know not respecting court's decision would be contempt of court.
Assuming the judgement is in his favour than the Sultan may ask him to reconvene the state assembly to establish whether there is a deadlock.If so, than a dissolution is imperative and I am sure the Sultan will grant it to him.
It is also imperative that he would not play dirty like he did before, hit below the belt by suspending BN assemblymen.
In the meantime, there seems to be a lot of unhealthy lawmakers in Pakatan. This is the second death over a short period. Manek Urai assemblyman Ismail Yaacob died after a long illness. The irony is PAS suggesting to UMNO not to contest the seat, maybe, because of fear of losing in their very own heartland.By now the Malays might have a change of heart.PAS is the weakest link in the coalition.Losing their grip on political power may not be the comeuppance they expected.
They are not the same.Penanti was a game Anwar wish to play with Najib.Malek Urai is a dead man seat that fell vacant. Any seat that fell vacant due to death of elected representative should be contested irrespective of whether the BN can win or not.BN/UMNO should only refuse to contest those engineered resignation.Najib was right to make that decision.
Let Anwar and Pakatan 'siok sendiri'.

Anwar's Dilemma, A Failing Nation: The New Yorker
Hantu Laut
This is part of the dirty campaign against the Malaysian government by Anwar Ibrahim, pulling wool over the eyes of the international community, a bluff that the Western media are more than ready to accept, embellish and spread throughout the world pandering to this treacherous man insatiable appetite to grab power. He has successfully lured gullible Malaysians to his side with his demagogic and self-seeking political enterprise. A pity me campaign that have radically changed Malaysians view of politics in this country and one that is dangerously moving towards the politics of individualism and personality cult.
He courted and managed to rope in Ian Buruma, a highly regarded writer and academician to further his political agenda.The writer predicted that Anwar is likely to be prime minister in the next general elections and a more democratic and less corrupted Malaysia.
This writer swallowed hook, line and sinker of Anwar's emetic story.

ABSTRACT: LETTER FROM MALAYSIA about opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and the ethnic and religious problems facing the country. Anwar Ibrahim has come back from six years in prison on corruption and sodomy charges to become the best hope for a more democratic, less corrupt Malaysia. This is the same Anwar Ibrahim who had once been at the heart of the Malaysian establishment. He was poised to succeed Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad until he launched an attack on “nepotism” and “cronyism” in his own party, the United Malays National Organization. The “cronies” included members of Mahathir’s family and in 1998, Anwar was removed from the cabinet and from UMNO. He was charged with corruption and sodomy and was beaten while awaiting trial. Mentions accusations that Anwar is a Jewish agent. Released from prison in 2004, Anwar eventually returned to Parliament in a landslide. In the next general election, possibly as soon as 2010, Anwar Ibrahim may well become Prime Minister. Writer discusses the role of race and religion in Malaysia. The country’s population is more than half Malay, defined by ethnicity and Muslim faith, but large numbers of Chinese and Indians arrived in the nineteenth century. Discusses Mahathir’s 1970 book “The Malay Dilemma,” in which he argues that the Malays could not compete with the Chinese for genetic reasons and needed to be protected with affirmative action and mandatory ownership of business enterprises lest the Chinese and Indians take over. The book was banned, but activists succeeded in distributing copies to Malay students, including Anwar, who was president of the Malaysian Muslim Students Union. Tells how Mahathir and Anwar steadily gained influence until Mahanthir became Prime Minister. Anwar was brought into the government to help implement Mahanthir’s ethnic theories. He did so until the late nineteen-nineties, when the consequences had become too blatant to ignore. Writer observes Mahathir (who is no longer Prime Minister) speaking at a demonstration protesting the Israeli attack on Gaza. Tells about Anwar’s daughter, Nurul Izzah, who was elected to Parliament in 2008 and who wears the Muslim headscarf. Discusses the growth of independent blogs and alternative-news Web sites in the late nineties in Malaysia, including Malaysiakini, which was inspired by Anwar’s call for political change. Describes the obstacles that need to be overcome before Anwar’s coalition of opposition parties is ready to rule. Briefly tells about the current Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
Beware of wolf in sheep's clothing!

Susan Loone's Pathetic Sortie
Hantu Laut
In most big family there is good chance that one or more child would be black sheep. I mean, a child that is born biologically bad and no amount of moulding can reshape their insatiable appetite to do the wrong thing.Some come from good and well to do families where other offspring are normal. The black sheep are evidently different from the rest and are probably born with chromosomal defects.
When such thing happened to a child people tend to blame the parents for poor upbringing.In most cases no parents want their children to be bad.Even some bad parents don't want their children to be bad. Some may become bad due to parental neglect but some are just born with bad chromosome making them impossible to deal with, a thorn in their parents' flesh and a danger to society.They can immerse themselves from petty crimes to the most atrocious ones.
It was recently reported that Raja Petra's son was caught by the police for thef and in possession of stolen goods and he admitted to the crimes.
I am writing this article not because I would place blame on Raja Petra and his wife.I fully understand his predicament and as I have said earlier, sometimes, as parents, we may have exhausted every possible means to get the child turn over a new leaf but are left helpless and heartbroken.
In the case of Raja Petra's son he is no more a child, he is 31, he is considered a man and has passed the age of parental control. Raja Petra can't be faulted for what this young man did.
I am writing this article not because of what his son did, that's none of my concern, I am writing this to bring forth the ridiculousness of this antagonistic blogger who due her deep hatred for Najib and the government try to politicise the case and makes it appears as a retaliation against Raja Petra. I quote some of what she wrote below:
"Sure I read the story about Raja Petra’s son (here). Sure, many are doubtful that the story is even true.

I, too, have my questions, let’s put those aside.
All I can say is the police and the courts are really efficient when it comes to Raja Petra son’s crimes. I salute them. Hope they can be as efficient when it comes to other crimes, too.
I wonder, when it comes to big and internationally acclaimed crimes like murder by military/c4 explosives, we still do not yet know WHY the hell did those two cops blow up Altantuya, when they didn't even know her".
She made the impression that the whole thing was a frame-up.
A crime is a crime no matter how small it is.
It's a pity politics has ruined her faculty to tell left from right and right from wrong.

Anifah/Clinton Joint Press Conference:Better Than Good
Hantu Laut
Watch the video.A joint press conference between US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman.Can you see any semblance of severe case of delusion as preferred by this envious and sycophantic DJ blogger here.
He speaks well and better than some of our previous ministers and didn't have the kampong accent of Anwar Ibrahim.
Setting the record straight is not an attack.Only those carrying Anwar's ball would intentionally misconstrue what he says.
Don't have to be prolix to send the message across.
