For the country to go chaotic, it needs either one to misbehave, the opposition or the ruling party. The rakyat will only be caught in between due to apparent taking sides based on the sentiment and/or perception created by either of them and worse still, even those not taking sides will not be spared of the consequences directly or indirectly arising out of the conflict in the so call ’striving to achieve a better country for everyone’.
The opposition has managed to create and build new hopes for the people. These hopes can never surface or be built had there been no apparent failures, frustrations, visible misappropriation, felt deprivation etc thus far. The degree of cohesiveness among the opposition pact and the state of disarray of the ruling coalition only adds to propensity to change by the people.
History teaches us that there were countries that came out stronger from such conflict and there were those who suffered miserably.
Either way will depend very much the leaders fronting both pacts…..and followed by the maturity of the people.
If both parties are sincere to the nation, both will realise that they have their role to play and contribute regardless which side they stand and at which time. Its nice to think that we will not have an arrogant winner and/or sore loser……and nicer to think that regardless who head us eventually, the rakyat will be the winners. In the meantime we pray that everyone are sincere and act in utmost good faith and end this period of uncertainty sooner peacefully.

The greatest irony Malaysians have been facing all this while is that we have a choice about everything except changing the government. The fact is we have never had an alternative to compare with and until we do, we will always wonder what might have been.

It’s time to take that leap.

Berita Mutakhir/Non-related Update - 15 Sept 2008, >8:30pm

~Masa aku dok cari tempat letak kreta di kawasan dekat Katedral Roh Kudus kat Pulau Pinang malam tadi, bertujuan menyertai Santa Misa yang dianjurkan untuk keadilan dan keamanan di negara kito ini dsb, ternampak 6 atau 7 orang polis naik motor tiba kat katedral itu.

Ini bukanlah untuk menimbulkan rasa cemas kat orang ramai tanpa sebab, tapi, diharapkan semua akan mengetahui kehadiran pihak berkuasa kito tu, yang kurang berprofesional ataupun berhemah kebelakangan ini, kat tempat itu dalam masa ini, biar betul ataupun tidak, takut-takut sesuatu yang tak diingini akan berlaku.

Lebih itu, nampaknya talian internet Malaysia ini amat lambatlah hari ini sehingga ia kelihatan amat palsu jika dibandingkan dengan kadar sambungan yang disiarkan. Sekian.

~As I was looking for parking space in the vicinity of Holy Spirit Cathedral - Penang, to attend Holy Mass to pray for justice and peace et al, I saw some 6 policemen or so on motorcycles arriving at the cathedral.

This is not to alarm everyone unnecessarily, but, in hope that people are made aware of the presence of our, sadly, not-so-impeccable or professional enforcement authorities of late, whether rightly or wrongly, at this venue on such time, in case any untoward incident were to happen.

By the way, our Malaysian Internet connection is considerably slow today to the extent that it is quite artificial in effect when compared with the published connection rate.

Fascinating analysis on your part, Salman, but one thing is for sure, DSAI has gone against all odds time and time again and I believe he will pull out his last trump card for this take-over. As we have seen, our King had shown his displeasure when his Terengganu state was deprived of its oil revenue and I think he will acquiesce to this take-over so long as Bumiputras rights and privileges are protected. Being a non-Malay I have no quarrel to all those mentioned as DSAI has reiterated numerous times on the issues. But all we ask is that the Chinese, Indians and others must be treated equally as citizens of this lovely country and not set aside as if we are second class citizens. Itu saja.

Hello saudara,

You dont underestimate DSAI capabilities. You think UMNO the only saviour for Msia. They are so many well educated regardless Malay,Chinese and Indians or even Iban or Dayak can help DSAI for a better Msia. Look at MAS’s CEO, he is not Malay but he can turn around MAS. The problem Pak Lah he always fall asleep and is continuing Mahathir’s BN corrupted and power abuse system which is no longer valid in the era of transperency,integrity and good governance. DSAI’s is well known in overseas either in Western or Eastern world but only some Malays like you are blind for not recongnizing DSAI capabilities because propaganda and allegations made by UMNO/BN played by their controlled media. So people like you are tend to believe without using your brain given by Allah and common sense.

Malaysia is rich country with full all natural resources like oil, palm oil, logs unlike Spore which has to import water from Msia but they are more wealthy and successful compared to Msia. Their GDP is 5 times higher than Msia but what do they have compared to me. If you open your eyes, eyes and use your intelligent brain Msia is not a difficult country to administer or govern but just need honest, just and sincere leader like DSAI.

My advise to you open your mind, then you will find out DSAI is a great leader.
