2009财政预算案


2009年的财政预算的赤字进一步增加至国内生产总值的4.8%。这比预测中的3.1%(比去年的赤字-0.1%)整整多出了54.8%。我国已经连续10年出现赤字了。年年赤字绝对不是好事。

308与826过后的大马政局

308是政治大海啸;826就是风雨欲来满风楼的写照。

安华在826以狂风扫落叶的姿势狂胜国阵后选人后,的确让许多人忙著往地上找碎片。当国阵用尽所有的竞选机关,当然包括了一贯性的肮脏手段外;这次更具创意的连‘发誓’(纳吉到回教堂发誓从来就不认识Athantuya) 的新招数也派上用场。不知最近为什么突然流行起‘发誓’ 这玩意,好像不管什么人只要到ALLAH面前发誓就一定可以洗白白。先有喜欢‘开后门’给人进 的;后有喜欢别人‘开后门’ 给他进的。当然这是题外话了!回归正题,很多人的确对安华所获得的多数票感到意外。多数人都会认为,当国阵投入那么多的资源后,再加上投票日是工作天游子无法回乡投票的情形下,安华的多数票应该会低于旺阿芝莎。可惜成绩揭晓时,安华整整比对手多了15671张票。对民联而言,这是安华进攻布城的最大推动力。对国阵而言,这是308过后的另一场政治海啸。虽然国阵早有心理准备铁钉会输,但绝对没有预测会输到那么惨。

因此,随着这场补选结束后,巫统内部的分裂将会越演越烈。但与308后所不同的是,这次除了要首相阿都拉下台的声音将会此起彼落外,巫统将会重新评估纳吉是否是接任下一届首相的最佳人选?因为贵为副首相同时也是身为国阵在这场补选的统帅的纳吉,在几乎用了可用的资源后依然惨败。对纳吉本身威望的重大打击自然是不言而喻。此外,巫统从基层到中央领袖必定会开始质疑,纳吉这位‘候任首相’ 是否可以带领巫统乃至国阵在下届大选重新收复失地。更何况对纳吉不利的谣言可说是不胜枚举。随手沾来就有潜水艇5亿拥金丑闻、蒙古女郎炸尸案、被影射安华鸡奸案主谋、策划赛夫宣誓等等都围绕著纳吉。就算没有真凭实据证明纳吉的确是这些事件的背后主谋,然而真相是什么已经不再那么重要了。因为只要一提起这些新闻,几乎所有人都会将这些新闻和纳吉联想在一起。这样就已经足够让纳吉无法当上下一任首相了。虽然目前为此在巫统里面并没有这种声音,但我相信拥有这种想法的领袖肯定大有人在,只是视乎是否有人敢先提出。巫统在12月会有党选,因此我相信那个时刻将很快到来。即时,最有可能在纳吉倒台后得益的就非慕尤丁莫属了。所以,如果慕尤丁在接下来的几个月相继发表了一些让人“惊叹” 的言论是可以预见的。

原本对于916变天大计划有所保留的国阵议员们,在826补选过后相信将会更接近相信安华的确不是说着玩的。对于之前那些想跳又摇摆不定的政治蛙,826的成绩更是增加了他们对安华在916夺权计划的信心。民联要说服这班政治蛙过档将会比以前更容易。因此,国阵成员党现在必定人心晃晃。民联只要先推出第一批跳槽民联的国阵议员名单,接下来自然会有很多国阵议员纷纷投靠。原因很简单,如果知道铁达尼迟早会沉,还会有人愿意待在船上吗?


因此,巫统现在可谓处在一个内忧外患的困境里。难怪今年的国庆不像往年般充满喜气洋洋的气氛。难道916才是真正的国庆?看来只有安华和那些政治蛙才知道答案了。平民百姓的我们除了等待别人揭晓答案外

Fuel hike: 78 sen more to RM2.70 per litre

What life will it be when petrol price rises to RM2.70? I still remember when government increased the fuel price 2 years ago they promised the money saved would be used to improve the public transport facility. Are they improved? Did our government say anything about that? What choice do people have if the petrol price goes beyond our limit while public transport is very poor? We have no choice! Then what can we do to offset the portion of money that goes to this fuel hike? DPM said that people have to change their lifestyle. What say you?

Raja Petra charged, chooses jail over bail

From Malaysiakini latest:


Raja Petra charged, chooses jail over bail
Chan Kok Leong May 6, 08 10:40am

Malaysia Today news portal webmaster Raja Petra Kamaruddin was today charged with sedition at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court over an article which he wrote in his website.
The article allegedly implied that Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his wife were involved in the killing of a young Mongolian woman.

Raja Petra claimed trial to the charge. He was charged under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act for publishing seditious article on April 25 on Malaysia Today.


Hearing has been fixed from Oct 6 to 10 and Raja Petra was granted a bail of RM5,000, which he refused to post, deciding instead to remain in custody until the hearing date.


He has been taken to the Sungai Buluh prison to be remanded.

If found guilty, Raja Petra could be jailed for a maximum of three years and/or face a fine of up to RM5,000.The chargesheet also highlighted nine paragraphs of the article which was titled "Let's send the Altantuya murderers to hell" as seditious.Deputy Public Prosecutor Nordin Hassan is prosecuting while Raja Petra was represented by a team of six lawyers led by Karpal Singh.Earlier this morning Raja Petra was asked to present himself at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court to face the sedition charge.


He had been waiting to be charged at the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court when he received a telephone call from the police at about 10.20am asking him to go to the PJ court instead.

Wife stunnedRaja Petra's wife Marina Lee Abdullah was also present in the court today and expressed her shock over her husband's decision not to post bail."This is a statement he wants to make. He feels that he has done nothing wrong and we don't have the funds."If we do a campaign of RM1 a person and when we raise sufficient funds, we'll take him out as soon as possible," she said, referring to a fund-raising campaign initiated in Malaysia Today to raise enough money to post bail for Raja Petra.
"At the moment, I'm quite stunned by what he has done (not wanting to be bailed), so let me see him tomorrow. And we will take it from there.When asked if their family was prepared for the charge preferred against Raja Petra, Marina said that she would be discussing the matter with her children later today."I don't think that anyone is prepared for this. I just called my kids to tell them about this. We'll go back and have a family gathering to discuss this.She also said that she was disappointed with the manner Raja Petra was treated by the police in the run up of being charged today."I'm not angry but I'm very disappointed with the way things are done in a hurry. They send us to this court (Jalan Duta) and then push us to the other court (Petaling Jaya)."They send us to this police station and say come tomorrow and then they come to the house to take the computer. And this has happened even today when they want to charge him."We went there at 8.30am and waited till 11am and they say its not there and tell us to come to PJ Sessions (Court). It's a circus. It doesn't look as though they are serious. It's trumped up charges. As though as everything is done in a hurry. Don't you think so?" she said.

Summoned yesterday

Late yesterday the popular webmaster was ordered to surrender at the Jalan Duta court complex at 9.30am this morning to face a sedition charge.Talking to reporters at the Jalan Duta court complex this morning, Raja Petra said that he was a victim of political persecution."I knew this was coming," he said.

"This is merely an excuse to arrest me, detain me or charge me. But this excuse is a stupid excuse."Once they charge me and the trial has been set, we shall point out not only do they have no case but it is absolutely political persecution," he added.He said that he was aware of a call made by an Umno leader from Petaling Jaya (Utara) about three weeks ago that "they should find ways to arrest me".News about Raja Petra's case spread like a wild fire last night and this morning a large crowd had gathered at the court complex to show support for him.Also present were DAP leaders Lim Kit Siang and Ronnie Liu as well as Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar.

Nurul Izzah said that it was a duty of everyone to come and show their support to Raja Petra."Especially since Malaysia Today was the primary source of a lot of unearthing of scandals especially corrupt practices of the leadership and the government."And it (Malaysia Today) has helped opened the eyes of the nation to what is gong on and what is wrong with the country. It played a huge role in the last elections.

Najib's statement

Last Friday, Raja Petra was called in by the police to have his statement recorded over an Internet posting two weeks ago pertaining to the murder case of Altantuya Shaariibuu, a Mongolian national.On April 25, Raja Petra posted the article titled 'Let's send the Altantuya murderers to hell' on his blog, Malaysia Today. The posting implicated Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor in the high-profile case.Najib subsequently issued a denial through his press secretary Tengku Sariffuddin Tengku Ahmad, whereas Rosmah has also denied the allegations against her.The Altantunya murder trial is currently ongoing at the Shah Alam.

Wind of Change 2008

Two decades ago, WIND OF CHANGE blew across the eastern of europe. Many countries entered the new era of political landscapes. Today, we are withnessing the new political wind of change across the world. If the previous wind of change only brought impacts to those in europe then the later one certainly is rocking the world without bondaries.

This year alone, without mentioning still yet the mid of 2008, many elections had undergone in many countries. Almost all of them had favoured the oppositions. Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Nepal, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Italy and Spain, oppositions had achieved landslide victory in it's general election. Some of them even overturned the government and formed the new government. Will Malaysia follow the wind and complete the CHANGE?




Lyrics

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close,like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

I fallow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

There is no "Constituitional Crisis"

Yes, that's right. There is no so called "Constituitional Crisis" as erroneously dubbed by mainstream media. Terrengganu Sultan(Our Agong as well) is not sleeping like sombody does. Just look on below and you will know why.

Mukhriz Mahathir's Letter To PM


> 12th March 2008
> Dato' Seri,

> Let me take this opportunity to thank you and the party's leadership
> for the faith in me and the chance to contest in Jerlun as a Barisan
> Nasional candidate. With the blessing and hard work of the party's
> leadership and machinery as well as the people of Jerlun, I have won
> the election and am now a new Member of Parliament.
> However, sadly enough, my victory is rendered meaningless in view of
> the defeat that Umno and the Kedah BN suffered at the hands of the
> opposition.
> Apart from Kedah, four other states as well as the Federal Territories
> also received a similar humiliation in defeat.
> In fact your own state of Penang was wrested by the DAP from the BN.
> Kelantan is again under PAS rule. In other states, the BN also
> suffered a similar humiliation when the level of BN support by the
> people has tremendously reduced. This, Datuk Seri, has never happened
> in the history of BN rule.
> The sole intention of my letter to you is meant to save Umno and BN
> from being rejected further by the people and from being no longer
> relevant to our religion, race and nation.
> Dato' Seri, the people are unhappy and the message from them is very
> clear, and that is, they have rejected you as the nation's chief
> executive.
> Contrary to your claim that you still have the support of Umno and
> other component parties, the reality is that even our own party
> members had reneged in their voting pattern by supporting the
> opposition and inflicting the BN its defeat.
> Dato' Seri, when the people held street demonstrations you openly
> dared them to resort to the ballot boxes to demonstrate.
> They took your challenge by coming out, especially those people in the
> Peninsular, and they demonstrated their feelings by voting us out at
> state and Parliament levels.
> It is therefore clear that your leadership and your handling of the
> issues faced by the people and the nation are no longer accepted.
> Let's not deny the truth just for the sake of keeping your seat as
> Prime Minister.
> For the love of this country and the people, I beg that you take
> responsibility for the defeat. We can save Umno, the BN and the nation
> only if you relinquish your positions as Prime Minister and president
> of Umno.
> Dato' Seri, I hope you will understand that I make this plea with the
> intention of salvaging a very dire situation. A move has been made to
> woo BN representatives to join the Opposition. The enemy needs just 35
> seats more to topple the government of your leadership.
> If you do not resign in the near future, I fear that the situation
> will become untenable and that Malay support for Umno and BN will be a
> thing of the past.
> This plea I make without malice, and I am aware that your reaction and
> that of other Umno members could very well be hostile.
> But come what may, I am prepared, for the sake of the Malays and
> Umno, to face the consequences of my action. With all humility, I
> leave my fate to Allah SWT.
> Dato' Seri, I am sure that you will do the right thing for the sake of
> the people and the nation. May Allah SWT bless you for the sacrifice
> you make by stepping down.
> Wasallam.
> Yours sincerely,
> Mukhriz Mahathir
> Jerlun Member Parliament

RTM2 采访


今天早上我出席了第十届全国大专华语辩论会的抽签仪式。在现场巧遇我的朋友晓惠,她说她已辞去了律师的工作;现在是全职的RTM2采访记者和新闻主播。针对辩论与政治的话题,她与我做了个简单的采访。以下是我们的采访内容:



晓惠:针对许多前辩论员在毕业后加入政坛有什么看法?


我:这是个很好的现象。辩论员的表现不应该只是局限于舞台;更重要的是能走入社会为民服务。毕竟辩论员都经过正式的逻辑思维模式的训练,因此可以引领群众的思考迈向正确思维模的式方向进行。


晓惠:辩论员在社会可以做些什么呢?


我:在这个资讯封闭的时代,我们的政治人物往往发表一些似是而非的言论。或许普罗大众没有经过正式的逻辑思维的训练,因此不知道如何反驳。因此,辩论员可以给予纠正,提供接近事实的真相。



晓惠:那对于一些和你同辈的辩论员都加入了政坛,你是否也曾有想过加入政坛呢?

我:我暂时还没有这样的想法,但我不反对这种辩论员加入政坛的趋势。

晓惠:对于政党领袖拉拢辩论员参与政治,是否影响大专辩论?

我:其实这是个很正面的影响。这肯定会在大专鼓吹更大的辩论风气,直接也间接为大专辩论做了免费的宣传。



晓惠:谢谢!

解读霹雳行动党

对于林吉祥强烈反对霹雳州由回教党的议员担任州务大臣,以及表示霹雳行动党中选议员将杯葛明天举行的州务大臣就职典礼一事,希望诸位不要反应过大;仓促下判断。

以此作为行动党不以大局为重搞破坏的结论未免过于轻率了。

当摆在你面前的是臭鸡蛋和烂苹果,而你必须二择一时,你必须选择一个不是最坏的决定。

然而,就算你选择了臭鸡蛋你也必须表示这并不代表从此你就爱上臭鸡蛋;你必须告诉其他人你选择了臭鸡蛋是因为你没有办法。

由于州宪法的限定,非回教徒无法担任州务大臣的职位。因此就算行动党在州政府里拥有最多议员也无法出任此重职。理应赢得第二多议席的公正党应该出任州务大臣,但其最有经验的候选人确只有SPM程度,因此自然无法但当一州之君的角色。所以只好由回教党担当了。借霹雳苏丹钦点州务大臣,也算是好让行动党日后可以向选民交代。

凭心而论,我认为在行动党执政槟州之后,不好再在霹雳担任州务大臣。毕竟我们必须考量友族同胞的感受。如此大的转变我害怕他们接受不来;下次投回给国阵就得不尝失了。

可是让回教党在霹雳担任州务大臣后,行动党一定会被华人痛骂;甚至被指责出卖华人的利益。因此,行动党强烈反对回教党担任州务大臣的动作就非做不可。毕竟霹雳还有许多老ah pek、auntie书念得不多;又容易被人洗脑,因此必须做些事情安抚安抚他们。

华人可说是见到回教党就好像见到鬼一样。短期而言,行动党或许会面对千夫所指。可是塞翁失马;焉知非福。长期而言,行动党正好可以向全国华人证明就算和回教党合作,我们也不会变成回教国;回教法也不会设施在非回教徒身上。只要行动党在霹雳做到这一点,以后就不怕马华再拿回教党来恐吓华裔选民了。这不就解决了我国反对党是无法合作组成联盟的梦魇吗?

所以,真正考研反对党人的智慧刚刚才开始。我们还是坐在一旁看好戏吧!

New Penang government announces economic reforms after election victory


PENANG, Malaysia -- The new leader of Malaysia's Penang state announced major reversals in policy Tuesday, including open bidding for government contracts, after his opposition party won elections for the first time in four decades.



Lim Guan Eng, sworn in for a five-year term as chief minister of the northern state Tuesday, also said his government will review a a 25 billion ringgit project to develop the city center of Penang island, which has raised concern among residents.


Lim's opposition Democratic Action Party won control of Penang in Saturday's election, unseating the National Front coalition that had been in power since 1969, in one of the biggest electoral upsets in Malaysia's history.


The reforms are part of the new government's "agenda for change to re-establish rule by the people," Lim said in a statement released soon after he took control of the state, the site of many multinational electronics companies such as Intel and Dell. Besides being the country's industrial heartland, the island of Penang is also known as its tourism jewel.


It is the first time the Chinese-based Democratic Action Party has come to power in any state in Malaysia, where 12 of its 13 states have always been under the National Front, a coalition dominated by the Malay-based party representing the country's majority ethnic Malay Muslims.


Besides Penang, the National Front also lost in four other states to a three-party opposition coalition of which the DAP is a member. At the federal level, the National Front's traditional two-thirds majority in Parliament was reduced to a simple majority as the opposition alliance boosted its strength from 19 seats to 82 in the 222-member house.


Lim said in a statement that his government will do away with the New Economic Policy, an affirmative action program for Malays, in awarding state contracts.


"We will run the government administration free from the New Economic Policy that breeds cronyism, corruption and systemic inefficiency," Lim said in the statement, which effectively pledges to turn upside down most of National Front policies.


"We will implement an open tender system for all government procurement and contracts," he said, referring to the practice of state contracts being awarded only to ethnic Malay-based companies in secret tenders.


"We will also practice transparency by uploading information of such tender bids in an Internet portal to be set up in future for public access," he said.


In other reforms, Lim said all state government members and civil servants will be required to publicly declare their assets.


"This is a government that is based on democracy. This is also a government that believes in equal opportunity and social economic justice. We are here to build a dynamic Penang for all," he said.


He said he will also seek to restore elections to appoint local government councils, which until now were appointed by the government.


Lim pledged to remain investor friendly and take steps to woo foreign investment that creates high paying jobs.

The Malaysia's People Has Spoken!


Today, we are witnessing the history making of new page of Malaysia! We as the Malaysian have spoken loudly, viciously to BN that we are the REAL BOSS IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!

BN has never lost so much in the GE since the day it was formed in early '70. Many heavy weights from BN including UMNO,MCA,GERAKAN and MIC were suffering shock defeat in the election. The acting party president of Gerakan Koh Tsu Khoon was defeated(majority ~9485). The party president of MIC Sami Vellu was defeated(majority ~1821). Deputy president of UMNO WOMAN Shahrizat was defeated by ANWAR's daughter(majority ~2895). Vice president of MCA Lim Siang Chai was defeated(majority ~5706). And many many heave weights from UMNO and MCA were defeated.

Gerakan and MCA have 0 seats in Penang states.

MCA only won 15 parliamentary seats which is only half of those they won in previous term. Now MCA does not has enough of people to filling up the government posts. I expect they will lose some posts in the government.

Gerakan even worst. Yesterday they were still the government in Penang and today they don't even has a single seat in Penang. Gerakan only won 2 parliamentary seats. For sure they will not have enough of elected member filling the government post.

MIC is the worst. All top posts in the party were lost. They only won 3 parliamentary seats which is 6 lesser than previous term.

UMNO also suffers heavy defeat but not as worst as MCA,MIC and Gerakan. They have lost about 30 parliamentary seats. But they lose the power in Kedah, Perak and Selangor. For sure Pak Lah is now under tremendous pressure for being called to step down.


Oppositions have taken 5 states in Peninsula Malaysia. DAP and PKR will form government in Penang. LIM GUAN ENG from DAP is expected to become the new chief minister of Penang.


DAP,PKR and PAS will form government in Perak as well as Selangor. While PAS will form government in Kedah and Kelantan.


As in parliamentary seats, oppositions have denied BN 2/3 majority. So far oppositions have won 82 seats in parliament. Oppositions actually only need 75 seats to deny 2/3 majority.


Unexpected, neither by BN nor opposition as well as people have not expected the outcome of the 12th GE was so shock and unbelievable. Undoubtly, people of Malaysian regardless of either colour of skin or religious are united under a same reason - WE WANT TO CHANGE! We sent a very strong message to BN that we are no longer can be fool and we are no longer the people that you think we are. We do not scare anymore. People understand that only changes can push our country forward.


Malaysia is marching toward another 50 years with great hopes and great courages.


Syabas! I am like all of you once again proud to be a Malaysian!

揭开马华的谎言

以下这段是’某某者‘在我前一则张贴“SPR is a BIG LIAR!!!”的留言。我觉得很有意思,所以决定回应。


What i heard from the Chinese at my hometown :
"UMNO VS PAS - VOTE PAS
UMNO VS KEADILAN - VOTE KEADILAN
MCA VS DAP - VOTE MCA"


“我們知道馬來人的政治態度,他們即使對政府不滿,也會確保集中力量於政治管道,讓他們代表族群在政府裡決定命運,不會自我削弱。因此,大部份馬來人都傾向支持巫統。”

黃家定說,這個現象持續了50多年,接下去也會如此;但華人若一半選擇抗議,一半選擇支持執政力量,主流執政力量就會失去平衡,而馬來社會代表繼續擴大。

他表示,當在外面喊叫的人以華人為主,執政趨勢將形成馬來人支配政府,做決定時不平衡,因為華人在政府里太弱,無法有效講出華人心聲。

“在外面幾強都好,肯定教訓不到巫統,反而會弄巧反拙,使許多事情在內部決定了,我們還在外面喊喊叫叫。”

幾年才獲一次權利
拿選票發洩對不起自己

黃家定說,幾年才獲得一次投票的權利,如果拿這票去發泄、抗議及教訓別人,這樣的話才膚淺,也太對不起自己。

“投票目的是選政府,必須確保本身及族群還有社群往後的日子是否會更好及有保障,同時,也要選出能符合自己心裡所想的政治代表。”

黃家定說,當選民投下手中一票前,必須先想想這張票是祖先爭取憲法保障公民權地位下得到參政機會才有的權利,非常寶貴及不易。而且,一個人的一生中只有10多次的投票機會。

“我們必須非常客觀、理性及冷靜地問自己,投票的意義是甚麼,而這一票是否對得起自己、家庭、民族、社會及國家,這是非常嚴肅的事情。”


以上这些话我肯定是出自于马华领袖的口中。为什么我会如此肯定?很简单,因为马华在这届大选最主要的策略就是要说服华人相信即使把票投给反对党也无法教训巫统,同时却削弱华人在朝的政治力量。今天,我在这里将会和大家一起“揭开谎言;扫除迷惑;寻找真理” 。有些谎言说了一百次可以变成真。所以我们要揭开马华的每一个谎言,以正视听。我会向以上的每一个论点进行反驳;让大家评评理。

“我們知道馬來人的政治態度,他們即使對政府不滿,也會確保集中力量於政治管道,讓他們代表族群在政府裡決定命運,不會自我削弱。因此,大部份馬來人都傾向支持巫統” 。

错!在1999年大选时,因为安华事件马来人有超过一半是投给反对党。导致巫统的议席减至七十多席。可是却因为华人大量投给国阵,因此国阵依然执政。我们失去了一个变天的契机!当马来人想变时,华人却“缩沙” !在华人大量支持国阵之后,巫统是否有知恩图报呢?事实是没有!还记得“华团大选诉求吗” ?99年大选前当时的首相敦马答应‘诉求” ,可是大选过后却反口;甚至说当时只是权宜之计罢了。巫青团过后还拉队到吉隆坡雪华堂门口,炯言要烧掉雪华堂把华人赶回中国!当时整个事件闹得热哄哄,如箭在弦上。马华在那里?当华社在大选大量的投给国阵才让国阵保着政权后,换来的就是这些吗?得益者马华有在维护我们吗?马华过后还和发展商狼狈为奸,看中白小原地为黄金地,硬硬的把白小关掉!马华可以为了真黄金卖了黄金屋啊!华人还可以对它有什么期许?

"他表示,當在外面喊叫的人以華人為主,執政趨勢將形成馬來人支配政府,做決定時不平衡,因為華人在政府里太弱,無法有效講出華人心聲。"

马来人支配政府这点是无可否认的。所以我们这次要用选票教训巫统!马来人支配政府是不可能通过壮大马华而改变的。因为马华和其他政党在执政集团里已经沦为次要支配;被边缘化了。记得在2006年发生的穆地争尸案吗?黄家定不是率领众内阁非回教徒部长向首相提呈备忘录吗?当时的我也被黄家定的行为感到意外,觉得马华这次真的做对了,马华还是有希望的。结果呢?当首相遣责相关行为时,隔天黄家定马上说他要收回备忘录;说什么程序不对但是会在内部争取。后来呢?马华在内部争取了些什么?无声无息了!大家都当作什么事情也没有发生过。由此可见,巫统的霸道,霸权是无法通过内部制衡的。既然内部机制失灵,那么人民就唯有通过外面的反对党了。反正继续支持马华也是死,不如在外壮大反对党实现两线制。我们华人有一句话,就是“跪著活不如站著死” 。继续支持马华只会壮大巫统,马华又无法制衡巫统;这和慢性自杀有什么分别?人民千万不要相信国阵的那一套,说什么把票投给反对党经济发展就会没有保障、国家就会乱。。。事实上全世界没有一个国家因为换政府而衰亡的;只有不把腐败的政府换掉才会衰亡。古罗马王朝就是一个经典例子!

黃家定說,當選民投下手中一票前,必須先想想這張票是祖先爭取憲法保障公民權地位下得到參政機會才有的權利,非常寶貴及不易。而且,一個人的一生中只有10多次的投票機會。
“我們必須非常客觀、理性及冷靜地問自己,投票的意義是甚麼,而這一票是否對得起自己、家庭、民族、社會及國家,這是非常嚴肅的事情。”


就是因为选票宝贵所以选民不可以再继续浪费!就是因为下一代所以我们要为他们创造一个更好的居住环境。我们可不像将来当我们的孩子问回我们到底我们为他们做了些什么的时候才来后悔已晚。
最后我想表达的讯息是,纵使我们知道这一届的大选反风无法把国阵捍倒、就算连否决2/3的希望也不大;但我们必须了解到改变是漫长的路途,必须按步就班。至少我们应该从壮大反对党做起。这样的想法我想才是理智而不情绪化的决定。

SPR is a BIG LIAR!!!


Just today, the election commission announces it's decision to cancel the use of indelible ink for this coming 12th GE due to public order and security issues. This is completely shock and unexpected as SPR has promised the use of indelible ink will be in place for this coming election just end of last year. Indelible ink is one of the agenda BERSIH fight for in order to avoid multiple voting from "phantom voters". Citing public order and security issues by the election commission is complete nonsensical. What kind of security issues it will impose to public by marking someone finger during collecting ballots? I have to say that this 12th GE will be as dirty as it was before. What credibility can a government has if it's elected by 'ghost' but not the people? The most fundamental human right of the people has been 'raped' by BN!
