September 2008
Whether Anwar Ibrahim becomes Malaysia’s next prime minister or not, Malaysians are already seeing the benefits of political competition as entrenched parties are forced to rethink policies.
After waiting a decade to re-enter parliament, Anwar Ibrahim is in a hurry to be Malaysia’s next prime minister. Fresh from his impressive victory in the Aug. 26 by-election in Permatang Pauh in the state of Penang—where he won two-thirds of some 47,000 votes cast—the 61-year-old former deputy prime minister has set Sept. 16 as a target for grabbing power from Prime Minister Abdullah Badawai and his ruling coalition, Barisan National.
Few expect him to meet this ambitious deadline. Yet with a bit more time, Mr. Anwar’s quest is within the realm of the possible. The consequences of such a historic achievement have a far-reaching impact on Malaysian society—the United Malays National Organization has enjoyed a 50-year stranglehold on power. A new government under Mr. Anfwar might better reflect the diversity of the country in terms of ethnicity, religion and political views. It is not hyperbole to say it could represent the dawn of true political pluralism in Malaysia. Further, if Mr. Anwar delivers on his promises of better governance and clean politics, Malaysians could see their flagging economy soar to heights similar to those enjoyed in the years leading up to the Asian financial crisis of 1997.
Not So Fast
Great expectations, indeed, and perhaps a somewhat unfair burden to place on the shoulders of Mr. Anwar. This is especially true given the considerable personal and political obstacles in Mr. Anwar’s path. The pressing concern is the latest sodomy charge. Mr. Anwar has denied having sex with a male aide and alleges the charge is politically inspired—which the government denies. A poll released in July by the Merdeka Center, an opinion research firm, suggests two-thirds of Malaysians share Mr. Anwar’s assertion. Proceedings will begin this month. If found guilty, in addition to going to jail, Mr. Anwar could lose his seat in parliament and be banned from politics. Were this to happen—and in the absence of an alternative political leader of Mr. Anwar’s stature—all talk of a sweeping overhaul of Malaysia’s political system would be put on hold. That’s not to mention the public outcry that would surely arise if a guilty verdict were handed down. That was the case in 1999 when Mr. Anwar was first convicted for corruption and sentenced to a six-year prison term. In 2000, he was charged with sodomy and given an additional nine-year penalty. He was freed in 2004 when the sodomy conviction was overturned by Malaysia’s Federal Court. With this latest charge, the prospect of Mr. Anwar going back to jail seems too remote—or too depressing—for him or his supporters to give it serious thought. Instead, the euphoria from last month’s by-election victory is still there and the afterglow from the March elections, where opposition parties enjoyed unprecedented success at the polls remains, encouraging Mr. Anwar to press ahead and tackle other challenges.
Consolidate First
It’s the evening before the Permatang Pauh by-election and Mr. Anwar is supposed to be taking a brief rest at his campaign headquarters’ before heading to two rallies, planned for that night. Instead, he greets a steady stream of visitors: relatives, friends, a local delegation from alliance partner Parti Islam se-Malaysia, or PAS. Nearby an aide speaks loudly on a cell phone to a journalist, trying to quash yet another political rumor about Mr. Anwar circulated perhaps by his political rivals. Finally, I am summoned into his dispatch. Two weeks of intensive campaigning have clearly taken their toll on Mr. Anwar. Tired and gaunt, his voice is barely audible. Yet he is clear as to what his immediate priority will be after the by-election that was triggered by the resignation of his wife, who held the seat after 1999. “Consolidating the coalition,” he said, with a brief flash of enthusiasm.
Mr. Anwar’s Parti Keadilan Rakyat, or National Justice Party, together with PAS and the mainly ethnic Chinese Democratic Action Party, form the opposition alliance Pakatan Rakyat, or People’s Alliance. In the March general elections, Pakatan won 82 of 222 seats in the federal parliament, and at the state level its parties now govern five of the 13 states that make up Malaysia. BN candidates won the remaining 140 seats.
To achieve his goals, Mr. Anwar first needs to ensure his coalition allies are happy. His coalition looked vulnerable earlier this summer when PAS engaged in talks with UMNO, Mr. Anwar’s former political party and current political enemy. Analysts now say it’s unlikely that PAS and UMNO can overcome intense rivalry to forge a political partnership. Yet fault lines within the Anwar alliance remain. A report in Malaysia’s the Star newspaper said the Pakatan leader came in for criticism from some PAS members in mid-August “who [were] unhappy with his ‘secular’ politics.” For now, Mr. Anwar is managing these potential flash points, but it seems reasonable to expect that PAS, and the DAP for that matter, sooner or later will demand some form of payback in return for their support thus far.
Consolidation also means he needs to swell his alliance’s ranks by at least 30 members of parliament to gain control of the government. The question is: where to find enough pliable “frog men” willing to jump from the BN’s ship? One place Mr. Anwar is looking is East Malaysia, to the states of Sabah and Sarawak. “There is a strong sense of alienation and marginalization between these states and the central government,” explained Mr. Anwar, which has left them on the fringes of development. “Unless something is done to help, they will continue to have major grievances.” Mr. Anwar intends to do that something.
Next Stop Borneo
Offering a helping hand to East Malaysia also makes for shrewd politics. The two states together account for 55 seats held by the BN—30 in Sarawak, 25 in Sabah. Of the 25 in Sabah, 14 are UMNO seats and 11 belong to other BN parties. That East Malaysians feel marginalized is an understatement. Sabah seems particularly aggrieved—with many there openly disdainful of Semenanjung Malaysia, or Peninsular Malaysia. “I hate Malaysia,” a young ethnic Chinese man told me one recent night in Kota Kinabalu, the state capital. Many Sabahans view the federal government in Putrajaya as a leech, sucking revenues from the resource-rich state. Roughly the size of Ireland, Sabah is Malaysia’s largest producer of palm oil and cocoa, and a major producer of rubber, timber and plywood, crude oil and gas. Most oil and gas revenues go to the central government with Sabah receiving just 5% in royalties. James Chin of the School of Arts and Social Sciences at Monash University’s Malaysian campus said many in Sabah consider the royalty level an “insult” and consider the federal government’s transfers back to the state in the form of economic development insufficient. A common refrain goes: how come Sabah was once the richest state and is now the poorest? According to Hiew Keng Chiu, DAP MP for Sabah, electricity coverage in Sabah is only 62%, compared to 92% in neighboring Sarawak and 98% in Peninsular Malaysia. “Why are we so far behind?” he asked.
Sabahans see themselves as distinct from West Malaysians. Racial composition in the state is different from Peninsular Malaysia where Malay, Chinese and Indian are the dominant races (in that order). In Sabah, indigenous ethnic groups, the largest of which is the Kadazandusun, account for around one third to 40% of the state’s population, given in the government’s Ninth Malaysia plan at around 3.1 million. (Due to the large presence of illegal immigrants in Sabah, population estimates vary widely.) The different ethnic profile in Sabah is especially significant when religion is factored in. Among the Kadazandusun, for example, Christianity, mostly in the form of Roman Catholicism, is the main religion.
This sense of apartness is underscored by history. Peninsular Malaysia—then known as Malaya—gained independence from the British in 1957. Six years later, in 1963, Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah together with Malaya came together to form the Malaysian federation (Brunei declined to take part). As a result, many in Sabah consider their state as an important and equal partner in the creation of modern Malaysia. As such, its people should be treated with respect and not ignored like country-bumpkin cousins, as is often the case, they claim.
It wasn’t always like that. In order to recognize the special status of Sabah and Sarawak, the federal government agreed to the “20 points,” giving special rights to the states, including recognition of greater autonomy for Sabah and Sarawak. Since then, the 20 points have been diluted over time almost to the point of being forgotten. Until recently, that is. The agreement—or the spirit of it, at least—is making a surprise comeback to the national political agenda now that the difference gap in terms of federal parliament seats between the ruling and opposition coalitions is so narrow. “Sabah and Sarawak have never been able to decide the outcome of the federal government. Now suddenly they are kingmakers,” said Monash University’s Mr. Chin. Sabah’s grievances have become hot topics, as both Pakatan and the BN scramble to address concerns.
Mr. Anwar has been quick to recognize the opportunity presented by such grievances. The possibilities (aides don’t like the word “promises”) discussed include: granting a greater number of political posts to Sabahan and Sarawakian politicians and civil servants; increasing royalties on oil and gas to 20% from the current 5%; and transferring greater autonomy for economic development from the federal government to the state governments in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. There has even been mention of appointing an additional deputy prime minister to be filled by someone from East Malaysian affairs.
So far none of the Sabahan members of parliament that belong to the BN coalition have officially declared their willingness to cross over, preferring instead to adopt a “wait-and-see” approach. Only Yong Teck Lee, president of the Sabah Progressive Party, or SAPP, has come out most forcibly for Mr. Anwar. “We would support a change in leadership. After 50 years of UMNO hegemony, the atmosphere in Malaysia is very stifling,” he said, adding that Prime Minister Abdullah must go because “he is not paying attention to Sabah.”
Earlier this year, SAPP initiated an unprecedented no-confidence vote against the prime minister. (It must be said that Mr. Yong, who is a former chief minister for Sabah and no longer has a seat in parliament, is being investigated for corruption by Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Agency according to reports in Malaysian Business magazine. Mr. Yong denies any wrongdoing in connection with the investigation. ACA could not be reached for immediate comment.)
Politics in Sabah, however, have long been characterized by divisiveness and in-fighting. Even Mr. Yong’s SAPP is said to be split on the issue of joining Mr. Anwar’s ranks, forcing Mr. Yong to remain coy about his party’s next steps. “We are neither withdrawing from the BN, nor are they expelling us,” he said. In the meantime, the ruling coalition seems intent on finding ways to thwart Mr. Anwar’s poaching plan, including, Mr. Yong said, devising ways to “divide and rule the SAPP.” “It’s like a slow cooker,” he said. “They slowly steam you.”
BN Fights Back
Mr. Anwar’s chances of taking power will be just as much influenced by how the government responds. In Sabah, and elsewhere, the BN is fighting back, but will efforts be enough to keep the coalition afloat and regain popular support?
The initial response from the BN seems to be to throw money at the problem. In Sabah, for example, the government recently has granted the state an additional one billion ringgit (just under $300 million) in funds. Each of Sabah’s parliamentary constituencies has also been granted one million ringgit “special allocation.” A similar grant of around 400,000 ringgit has been earmarked for each state-assembly member. The federal government has also announced plans to set up a special committee tasked with addressing another thorny problem in Sabah—illegal immigrants said to number around 150,000 people.
On the national level, the government’s 2009 budget proposal, which was presented to parliament on Aug. 29, also offered generous spending increases. If approved, that would push Malaysia into deficit to the tune of 4.8% of GDP—greater than the 3.1% originally envisaged.
But few feel these moves are aggressive enough to win back public confidence in the Abdullah government. Deeper reform—starting with UMNO, the main party in the government coalition—is needed. In a speech to the Bankers Club Luncheon Forum on July 15 this year in Kuala Lumpur, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, a senior UMNO leader and former finance minister, outlined the challenges. According to a transcript of his address, a lack of democracy within the party; failure to develop policies that transcend race; and arrogance and corruption were behind the party’s abysmal performance in the March general elections.
In the absence of meaningful reform, UMNO faced destruction, possibly “plunging the nation into a spiral of decline,” he said. Mr. Razaleigh, who wants Mr. Abdullah to resign, intends to challenge the prime minister for the presidency of UMNO in upcoming party elections slated for December this year. Mr. Abdullah has already announced he will step down in 2010, transferring power to his deputy, Najib Razak.
Listen to the Rakyat
Shortly after he won the by-election in Permatang Pauh last month, Mr. Anwar was quick to declare a “People’s Victory.” Irrespective of whether this is true in the usual sense of a “sweeping to power” of a new government or not, the truth is that Mr. Anwar’s saga has already resulted in benefits for the rakyat, or the people of Malaysia. The very fact that the country has for the first time in its history a viable opposition under a charismatic leader will have important, positive consequences. “It’s definitely a step forward. People have broken through the ‘fear threshold’ and now feel they can make a difference,” said Khoo Boo Teik, an associate professor at the Universiti Sains Malaysia’s School of Social Sciences in Penang. “The most important benefit will be that it pluralizes the political system,” he said.
Such a benefit may not be as abstract as it seems. Like many people around the region, Malaysians are grappling with the prospects of an economic downturn. A recent UBS report estimates consumer prices to increase by 5.2% in 2008, up from 2% last year. With an export-to-GDP ratio of around 25%, the investment bank describes Malaysia as one of the most exposed economies to the global downturn.f
Underlying the short-term economic factors are more deep-seated problems. Ifzal Ali, chief economist at Asian Development Bank, said Malaysia’s investment climate is probably worse now than before the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Over the years since, “Issues of governance, corruption and political uncertainty have all taken a very heavy toll,” he said.
With the emergence of a truly pluralized political system, Malaysians can expect greater scrutiny of government and its institutions. The result should be a stronger government with better policies that closer match the needs of the people. There is much work to be done, and understandably, Mr. Anwar views his role as spearheading efforts from within the prime minister’s office. Yet even as head of the opposition, much can be achieved.

But it can’t be denied that DSAI had lied his way through by making empty promises, to gain votes. And what amazes me, some (not all) still believe him despite all the obvious lies and unfulfilled promises.
Well, in order to be the next PM, DSAI has a lot more to learn.

Why would you say “it can’t be denied that DSAI had lied his way through by making empty promises”? Where’s the proof of your argument? Where’s the list of unfulfilled promises?
Did you miss the part when DSAI said he will fulfill his promises IF his alliance win the election and form the federal government. I heard DSAI said that more than 10 times. You know that BN is still in power after the election, don’t you? And what amazes me, you don’t feel like an idiot when you expect DSAI to fulfill all his promises when you actually know People’s Alliance didn’t win the election.

Dear Datuk Seri,
I really have to wonder about the 30 MPs that you say are ready to jump. You say you cannot reveal their names upon their request for fear that they will be harassed by the authorities. Perhaps so. But what kind of commitment do these MPs have if they are afraid of a little harassment?
Look at RPK. He’s a true Malaysian hero! He goes to jail because he’s standing up for what he believes is right.
Look at Ms Tan Hoon Cheng, arrested simply for doing her job. Teresa Kok too wears the “ex-jailbird” tag. Datuk Seri, you yourself went through hell for 10 years.
And yet, these well-paid, well-fed MPs who supposedly want a new dawn for Malaysia can’t even stand up for themselves and for the nation? They want to play it safe and hide behind you still. They don’t have even half the guts and gumption that Ms Tan & Teresa have shown. Don’t these MPs have any backbones? Can you trust such people? Does their loyalty lie with the rakyat or their own well-being?
And really, what do they think the govt will do to them? Blow them up? Nah. Arrest them all under ISA? Maybe. But if the govt does that, I tell you it will be the final nail in BN’s coffin.
I hope these 30 MPs will develop a spine and tell their old BN bosses to pack up and ship out. A new govt is ready to take it’s rightful place.

I don’t know but let’s hope so the 30 MPs really exist. And only then that we could ask ‘them’ to develop their spine. Furthermore, what is there for ‘them’ to worry about being harassed, as ‘they’ have done no wrong but merely switching camp.(Remember at the 11th hour where a party in Sabah switched camp to opposition during Mahathir’s era with no harassments, least to say arrests).
The more DSAI is unwilling to disclose those ‘MPs’, the more people are gonna have reservation on his dignity. Whether one like it or not, this is fact. Like what they said seeing is beleiving.

Hello Edwin John,
MPs also have their own family to take care….just like you too.
If they declare their interest now, who is volunteering to look after their family if they get jailed under ISA ?
These 30 MPs have their personal reasons…let them decide in peace at their own time.
And, they also need time to consult the rakyat in their constituency.
Not so easy as we would like to think so.

If the scenario is correct, so are you implying that the rakyat had been deceived by DSAI, when he announced that he had this ’30MPs who had given their full committment to him’. When the ‘fact’ that they had yet to decide and need to consult the rakyat in their respective constituency.

In the last 50 plus years, the government of the day (Perikatan or BN) NEVER accepted the opposition’s proposals BUT made use of their ideas in much later stages as if they were their OWN or DELAYED the implementations by adding some ‘sweeteners’here and there. The government’s attitude towards the opposition had and has NEVER been friendly. They, the opposition, were considered as ‘aliens’ who are non-constructive and never productive, non-commitant etc. This attitude has definitely put the current opposition in the position which BN had all the while been branding them. Therefore, it is understandable that the opposition CONTINUES to be ‘silent’.
The ‘people power’ or the’makkal sakthi’ OPENED the eyes of BN and it (BN) is now RUSHING into so many ‘left over’ areas. And in the process making more mistakes (knowingly or unknowingly). Citizens today are better educated, more watchful on the political scenes and are more critical than my father’s days! BN had been lying on its laurels until after the March 8 elections. Until and unless the oposition rules, we would not be able to evaluate their performance.
During my kampong days in the 50′s, politicians would only come and talk about anti-British actions and ALL (Malays, Chinese, Indians, Javanese, Banjaris etc) to join hands to ‘defeat’ them in order to attain Merdeka.
NOW,the country is heading for worst (as per ADB) financial future? Are we Malaysians CONFUSED? Don’t we have GOOD ECONOMISTS or ECONOMIC SYSTEM? Why, Where, When and How are we to combat? Only answer now IS DSAI to lead!

Bukan cari kapal baru. Malah, tak timbul pula soal kapal baru atau kapal lama. Saya tak ada cita-cita pun dalam politik. Baru 2 tahun masuk kapal lama. Depa yang bagi jawatan. Tugas saya dalam kapal lama pula lebih menjurus kepada aktiviti kemasyarakatan sahaja. Tak involved langsung dalam isu-isu strategi pilihanraya, gerak saraf, penerangan etc.
Saya kerja makan gaji aje. Itu sudah memadai. Kalau saya business man, mungkin betul saya cari kapal baru……survival lah katakan. Tapi saya tau kekuatan dan kekurangan saya. Sebab tu, saya selesa buat kerja HR dan terima gaji bulanan sahaja.
PRU 12 banyak meninggalkan kesan kepada saya, sebab ianya lain dari yang lain. Macam World Cup juga lah. Setiap 4 tahun, pasti team-team gergasi saja yang julang World Cup. Tiba-tiba World Cup tahun ini, Ghana yang jadi world champion. Tentu ia menarik bukan ? Sebab ia lain dari yang lain.
Sama jugalah dengan PRU 12, tiba-tiba GAGASAN RAKYAT yang menentukan siapa yang diterima dan siapa yang patut ditolak. Ini sesuatu yang pertama kali berlaku dalam Malaysia pasca Mahathir. Menarik bukan ? Hasilnya, politik Malaysia menjadi minat semua orang termasuk saya. Minat nak tahu apa akan berlaku seterusnya…….
Masuk PKR pun kerana saya yakin dengan sistem satu parti untuk semua. Jikalau tidak, masa kan moyang saya sanggup meninggalkan parti yang diasaskannya untuk menubuhkan “PARTI NEGARA” yang memperjuangkan sistem satu parti untuk semua. Dulu Dato’ Onn ditolak kerana orang Melayu tidak setuju dengan idea sebegitu. Akan tetapi 50 tahun kemudian, ada di kalangan parti parti komponen BN yang bersetuju bahawa parti berasaskan satu kaum tidak akan dapat bertahan menongkah perubahan zaman. Maknanya, tindakan moyang saya kira-kira 50 tahun dahulu tu betul lah.
Cuma saya harap PKR dapat mempelopori definisi “ADIL” menurut konteks masyarakat Malaysia yang berbilang kaum. Kita semua tahu bahawa “ADIL” dan “SAKSAMA” tu membawa konsep yang berbeza, walaupun maknanya hampir sama.
Jadi, saya harap SAUDARA WARISH faham tindakan saya ok. Ini bukan soal tinggalkan kapal lama dan cari kapal baru. Saya boleh survive walaupun tak naik mana-mana kapal. Cuma setelah membuka mata besar-besar, barulah saya nampak kapal mana yang patut disokong. Bukan setakat sokong aje, bahkan patut beli tiket dan naik kapal itu. Tiada kepentingan tersirat yang saya cari dari kapal baru ni. Don’t worry. Saya cuma manusia biasa. Tanpa saya pun, DSAI dan PKR tetap mara……..

In the wake of Datuk Seri Anwar’s latest announcement that the date for the take-over of the government is not an issue and, therefore, not fixed, it is perhaps pertinent to argue that it should happen later than sooner.
There are several factors to consider:First, the consolidation of the Pakatan Coalition is of the utmost importance.This can be done by strengthening the Pakatan Framework; making sure that the 5 Pakatan states are governed well;having a credible shadow cabinet with credible policies spelt out;continuing the fight against all injustices and corruptions and pressing for reforms in the Judiciary and the Police.All these will show the Sabahans and the Sarawakians , in particular, and some other Malaysians here who are not so sure that Pakatan is viable,that Pakatan can and will deliver.By the way, the Sabahans and the Sarawakians are not only the “kingmakers” now, they are also the “kingmakers” in future elections to come!
Second,the present economic situation is still not “ripe” to facilitate an effective take-over.
With the impending global recession fuel by financial scandals and the coming recession in the USA,Malaysia being the 17th largest trading nation in the world is unlikely to escape unscatched.With Malaysia’s economy slowing down ( presently still OK with sound fundamentals intact ),increasing inflation,increasing unemployment, increasing National debts, couple with decreasing foreign investments as well as domestic investments, Malaysia is staring at the possibility of Stagflation with all its attendant glooms.Why not let the BN government handle all these.The situation can become worst before it can become better.With BN’s poor records in economic management, the right time for Pakatan’s take-over will definitely come!
Third,there is still no end in sight with the current political instability.What with UMNO’s infighting going on unabated, the MCA and the MIC steadily losing credibility and Gerakan on the verge of disintegration!It is unlikely for there to be any meaningful reforms by UMNO. The same goes for the other racial parties, MCA and MIC.Gerakan will disband and PPP will become irrelevant!The end is not yet…but, will come in due course!Just be patient, for the process of creative destruction has already begun and when,eventually, Pakatan takes over it is going to be better for Malaysia and all Malaysians irregardless of races and religions!

This is a new era of Malaysia. Most Malaysian now a days are no longer can be ‘cheated’ like those generation before us. Those around my age or younger have very different way of evaluating issues and happening around us.
7 out of 10 those around me will agree that the current government is no longer relevant. CHANGE is required.
In the next election, if all new generations cast their votes, BN Government will have to say GOOD BYE.
We want leaders and politician that are truly HEROES of the RAKYAT.

Mengapa RPK dikenakan ISA?Apakah krn artikelnya?(agama)Apa sebenar yg dituliskan?Setahu saya kebanyakannya berbahasa inggeris.(mujurlah saya buta huruf,saya tak faham)Kebanyakkan artikelnya mengenai penyelewengan,scandal bertaraf vvip.Benarkah dakwaan RPK?Sekiranya dakwaan RPK benar,beliau patut diberikan layanan istimewa.(sbb tahap index rasuah di malaysia masih membimbangkan)Ada kemungkinan juga sesetengah pihak mencuba telah mengaburi sistem keadilan dgn cubaan mengaitkan isu agama.PDRM dan menteri tu hanya menjalankan tugas.Jgnlah kita menyalahkannya,tapi kalau menteri tu sanggup berikan sedikit masa utk RPK alangkah baiknya.Tapi jgn kita kecil hati,kita tubuhkan satu panel penyiasat,kita siasat semua artikel-artikelnya.(baru kita dpt pasti dalang-dalangnya)Kalau dakwaan RPK berasas,maka kita bknnya hanya dpt membanteras jenayah tetapi RPK juga akan dibebaskan atas jasa-jasanya.Kita juga tidak mengharap vvip tu terlepas saja.Kita harus memperjuangkan semangat RPK.Kita tidak boleh hanya menunggu .Demi kebebasan RPK,kita kena memperjuangkan apa yg beliau perjuangkan.(council bar,rakan-rakan,bloger-bloger)Saya cuma berharap satu hari ,saya dpt lagi dengar ceramah RPK.SYABAS

Dear Datuk Seri,
I pray that God will always guide you to the final destiny i.e to make Malaysia a better place live.At the moment, there are a lot of discontents amongst the Malaysian.The fuel hikes and high prices of goods make us sick. We are dying in this kind of situation.Everyday we are thinking how to make the end meets.The price of fuel increased by 70 sen and only to be reduced to 15 sen and 10 sen. What kind of mathematic is that?.I only hope that the BN leaders will buy their own petrol instead of depending on the offical cars.And what a ridiculous idea of giving free electricity to users who only use RM20.00.What a childish idea.Even my six years old nephew could understand how funny is this BN ideas.What are they trying to prove to the rakyat ,he said.So I only wish DSAI will go on and on fightin for US MALAYSIAN

Kini Anwar Guna Alasan Perlembagaan

TANGGAL 24 September Anwar Ibrahim hadir sekali lagi di Mahkamah Sesyen Kuala Lumpur untuk perbicaraan tuduhan liwat ke atasnya.
Dia hadir sebagai Ketua Pembangkang walaupun beberapa “deadline” yang diuar-uarkan sebagai saat beliau merampas kuasa daripada Abdullah Ahmad Badawi datang dan berlalu.
Anwar masih menanti. Abdullah terus menjadi Perdana Menteri. Rakyat jelata tambah muak dan benci.
Anwar menyalahkan kehambaran 16 September ke atas keengganan Perdana Menteri bertemu dia untuk “membincangkan peralihan kuasa.”
Abdullah berkata tidak perlu berjumpa kerana Anwar berdusta mengenai Ahli Parlimen Barisan Nasional yang akan menderhaka.
Tetapi Abdullah seolah-olah percaya pula apabila tergesa-gesa menghantar 49 MP BN ke Taiwan kononnya untuk belajar mengenai pertanian.
Kemudian dikhabarkan pula yang Anwar akan guna saluran Istana untuk memaksa sidang Parlimen diadakan supaya undi tidak percaya terhadap Abdullah boleh dikemukakan.
Semua tarikh yang diuar-uarkan itu berlalu, usaha Anwar menemui jalan buntu, Abdullah tetap orang nombor satu walaupun dikatakan kurang menentu, ekonomi negara tambah celaru dan rakyat jelata makin keliru.
Namun semua ini tidak menghalang Abdullah untuk terus mendakwa jadual peralihan kuasa berjalan seperti biasa, segala-galanya terselia dan rata-rata pembesar Umno dan BN menyokongnya.
Anwar pun begitu juga. Dia terus mendakwa sudah ada cukup MP BN di dalam poketnya dan sekadar menunggu masa sahaja.
Lantas, sebaik sahaja keluar dari mahkamah Anwar mempertahankan kegagalannya menjatuhkan Abdullah dan berkata dia ada cukup sokongan untuk merampas kuasa.
Untuk itu, Anwar menyeru agar kita semua bersabar kerana menyingkirkan BN yang sudah setengah abad berkuasa adalah tugas yang sukar dan memerlukan masa.
Sejuk rasa hati mendengar Anwar meminta rakyat jelata bersabar. Bukan apa, yang sebelum ini tergesa-gesa hendak rampas kuasa bukan rakyat jelata tetapi dia.
Sekarang Anwar memberitahu kita dia harus teliti kerana undang-undang negara wajib dihormati.
Katanya: “Saya merayu kepada warganegara Malaysia, khasnya yang mahu perubahan, agar memahami keadaan dan bersabar sedikit lagi kerana kita tidak mahu melanggar Perlembagaan, peraturan dan aturan.”
Abdullah berkata Anwar berdusta. Anwar membalas kalau tidak percaya silalah cuba. Panggil sidang Parlimen dan dia akan tunjukkan buktinya melalui undi tidak percaya.
(Saya terbaca sebuah jenaka dalam bahasa Inggeris yang berbunyi “the only time politicians tell the truth is when they call each other liars”. Dalam bahasa Melayu, satu-satunya waktu orang politik bercakap benar adalah ketika mereka memanggil satu sama lain pendusta.)
Abdullah, Anwar dan semua warganegara tidaklah perlu tunggu terlalu lama. Pada 13 Oktober ini Parlimen akan bersidang semula.
Anwar boleh menguji hasratnya merampas kuasa. Itu pun kalau Abdullah tidak sekali lagi menghantar MPnya untuk melawat ke luar negara.
Sementara itu, tidak ada siapa pun boleh menghalang kita membuat teori, telahan dan tekaan siapa bercakap benar, siapa berdusta dan siapa yang sebenarnya tenggelam punca.
Kita boleh mulakan dengan membuat tekaan mengapa Timbalan Perdana Menteri Mohd Najib Abdul Razak membatalkan kunjungan Amerika Syarikat selain alasan kesibukan di Kementerian Kewangan.
Khabar yang dibawa oleh angin yang bertiup sepoi-sepoi bahasa, terjadi lagi rundingan dan tawar menawar antara Mohd Najib dan Abdullah mengenai isu peralihan kuasa.
Dengan ini semua, pasti tambah meriahlah Hari Raya kita.

Hello DSAI,
Pls look into the following case how this government is abusing power on foreign workers.
Burmese Women in Abuse Claims
2008-07-17
Three Burmese women who went to work legally in Malaysia are now being held in one of the country’s notorious immigration jails after they lodged a complaint of mistreatment and sexual harassment against a co-worker.
RFA/Kyaw Min Htun
Tin Tin Khaing, Aye Aye Aung and Myint Myint Khaing.
BANGKOK–Three Burmese women who went to work legally in Malaysia two years ago are being detained pending deportation after they lodged a complaint with police about sexual harassment and mistreatment in the workplace.
Tin Tin Khaing, Aye Aye Aung, and Myint Myint Khaing arrived in Malaysia in September 2006, hoping to make money to send to relatives in their hometown, former capital Rangoon.
They began working legally at Sibaraku, a Japanese restaurant in the southern city state of Melaka, 148 km (92 miles) south of the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
But on June 11, they filed a complaint with their local Brickfields police station that their kitchen supervisor had harassed and threatened them after they refused his sexual advances.
“They came here legally. And they were ill-treated here,” labor rights campaigner Ye Min Tun said. “It was like sexual abuse. This man said they would have to sleep with him at night. The girls didn’t go along, so he ill-treated them at work.”
“Later, he subjected them to a hand-held device that gave out electric shock, so they came to us,” said Ye Min Tun, of the non-government Burmese Workers’ Rights Protection Committee based in Kuala Lumpur.
Women detained
“We went to open a case for them. The restaurant boss said he would negotiate [with the women to reach a settlement], and tricked the women into coming to him [for a meeting]. The case was opened on June 11.”
Police detained the women’s supervisor on June 14, following the complaint. Local rights groups said they also found the electrical device which they alleged he used to threaten them. But then, the tables were turned once more, campaigners said.
Blantik Camp, Malaysia “On the 17th, they revoked their work permits, and the immigration department arrested the women,” he said.
Repeated attempts over several days to contact a Malaysian immigration department official for comment on the case met with no response. Calls to Sibaraku also went unanswered during working hours until Wednesday.
Florida Sandanasamy, program coordinator for rights group Tenaganita, called on the government to justify sending the women for deportation.
“The irony of this case is that the immigration officers arrested these women at the hostel provided by their company. If they were at the hostel, why did they arrest them for running away from their employment?” she said.
No-man’s land
“This is not against any of the immigration laws. However, not only did the immigration arrest them, they also put them in the immigration prison and are now even arranging for their deportation,” Sandanasamy said.
Representatives from Malaysian human rights organizations including the Legal Aid Center based in Kuala Lumpur have visited the three women in the Lenggeng immigration detention center, also in Melaka.
Burmese migrant workers in Malaysia live at the mercy of international human-trafficking gangs who sell them back and forth as slave labor with the full knowledge of Malaysian and Thai immigration officials, according to a series of investigative reports by RFA’s Burmese service.
Thousands of Burmese find themselves stuck in a human rights no-man’s-land after losing their legal status, often because employers withhold passports or refuse to pay their return airfare.
Reports of mistreatment and substandard living conditions within Malaysia’s little-known immigration prisons are rife, as undocumented migrants are detained for indefinite periods.
Conditions in the detention centers have sparked protests, complaints to Malaysia’s human rights body, riots and breakouts. Immigration officers often stage raids on suspected illegal immigrants using volunteer security forces who have wide-ranging powers, the right to bear arms, and little professional training.
Wide-ranging powers
Rights groups say children, pregnant women, and United Nations refugees awaiting resettlement to a third country have all been detained recently in such raids.
Human rights lawyers say Malaysia’s legal system lacks a clear distinction between illegal immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, and immigration officers can imprison anyone without papers.
Tenaganita’s Sandanasamy challenged the government to specify what the women had done to merit detention in Lenggeng.
“What section of the act have they breached, or what section of the penal code have they breached, or what section of any laws in the land of Malaysia have these workers breached?” she said.

Perubahan terhadap KEKANGAN MINDA !!!!!!!!! Perubahan terhadap SINGLE MINDSET yang telah diterapkan dalam setiap jiwa orang Melayu !!!!!!!!!!!! Perubahan terhadap budaya “ANGUK-ANGUK, GELENG-GELENG, IYA-IYA, SAYA-SAYA” !!!!!!!!!!
Sebagai contoh, a traditional belief that “UMNO is the sole guardian of Malay”. Siapa itu “Melayu” dalam kamus UMNO ? Menurut Kamus UMNO [Cetakan 2008] Melayu bermaksud “pendokong dan penyokong buta UMNO, para kroni yang kalau jatuh UMNO maka jatuhlah kroni dan setiap orang Melayu yang menjadi “yes man type” kepada pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO dan pak turut-pak turut yang mendapat faedah sama ada secara langsung mahupun secara tidak langsung dari UMNO”.
