People who change their partners too often spoil their habit and before they realise it, something dies in them. I have seen many people like this and it saddens me. Well I come from a home where my nanaji was married to my naniji for good 50 years and neither of them even gave a thought about indulging elsewhere for those ‘momentary pleasures’. I think they were far from such thoughts. Well that was a beautiful time and today’s couples will have no inclination and desire to be with each other for long. However, even after knowing the vagaries of life, and relationships, I still believe in love and wait for my man who defeats this trend in today’s couple. And I guess a lot of men and woman around me too wait for it. So here’s to that emotion of stability and trust.N

PERAK STYLE ATTACK ON TAN SRI KHALID IBRAHIM AND PKR’S SELANGOR STATE GOVERNMENT(?)
Suspicion reigns over not just how Teoh Beng Hock died, but also the basis of the corruption probe into alleged misappropriation of state funds by 12 Selangor Pakatan Rakyat assemblypersons.
To DAP national assistant treasurer Nga Kor Ming, the bigger picture appears to be a prelude to the toppling of another Pakatan state government after Perak. He said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) began its investigations against seven Chinese representatives, followed by five Malays, on alleged falsification of claims.

“Now it is saying that it will investigate all 36 Pakatan representatives in Selangor including Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim,” said Nga, who is also DAP Perak secretary.
“This is an indication that BN is setting its sight on taking control of Selangor as it did in Perak. In Perak, the MACC first zoomed on the Behrang and Changat Jering assemblypersons for alleged corruption and then BN moved in to take control of the state.”
PART2WHY NAJIB MUST BE KICKEDOUT AS PM THE GOVERNMENT’S USE OF PLAINCLOTHES THUGS TO TO TRIGGER THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE, POLICE CONDUCT MUST BE SUFFICIENTLY DELIBERATE THAT EXCLUSION CAN MEANINGFULLY DETER IT, AND SUFFICIENTLY CULPABLE THAT SUCH DETERRENCE IS WORTH THE PRICE PAID BY THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
Selangor has 56 state seats of which 20 are held by BN. Under the Pakatan coalition, the DAP holds 13 seats, PKR has 15 and PAS has 8.
The MACC probe started with Teresa Kok (Kinrara), Ean Yong Hian Wah (Sri Kembangan), Dr Cheah Wing Yin (Damansara Utama), Elizabeth Wong (Bukit Lanjan), Hannah Yeoh (Subang Jaya), Lau Weng San (Kampung Tunku) and Edward Lee (Bukit Gasing).

Teoh , the political secretary to Ean Yong, was found dead last Friday after having been picked up for questioning the day before. His body was found on the fifth floor balcony of the building where the Selangor MACC is housed.
Nga, who said he suspects that the MACC is fishing for evidence to book all 12, queried why the commission is concentrating only on Pakatan-controlled states.

“There are several multi-million ringgit corruption scandals that need to be urgently investigated but MACC prefers to drag its feet in such matters,” he added.
“This raises great concern over the integrity of MACC (as to whether it is) carrying out its duties in a professional manner. No one trusts MACC any more. It has failed to discharge its duty without fear or favour.
“We have reason to believe that MACC has been used as a tool to persecute Pakatan states. We urge it to remain neutral.”
a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market, is a nation that is afraid of its people.let’s not play opposition’s game, we have our own way to con the voters say barisan leaders

I was recently asked to answer some questions for an Australian news
programme:
Reject Mr. Najib,the most high-profile scandal to tarnish Mr. Najib’s reputation is the murder of the Mongolian woman, Altantuya Shaariibuu, the mistress of Mr. Najib’s foreign policy adviser. Her life and death, a mix of soap opera and horror movie, have captivated and shocked the public.
Prosecutors say Ms. Shaariibuu was killed in October 2006 by government commandos who also serve as bodyguards to the country’s top leaders.
Mr. Najib has not been charged with any crime, but lawyers say the handling of the case has been irregular and criticize the prosecution for failing to call Mr. Najib to testify.
When she was murdered, Ms. Shaariibuu was reportedly seeking her share of a commission — the opposition calls it a bribe — worth €115 million, or $155 million, paid by a French company as part of the government’s deal to buy submarines. Mr. Najib, who is defense minister as well as deputy prime minister, handled the submarine purchase.
The huge size of the commission — about 10 percent of the total cost of the submarines — is not being investigated despite an official acknowledgement by the Malaysian government that it was made to a company linked to Mr. Najib’s aide, who was acquitted in connection with Ms. Shaariibuu’s murder.
Perhaps more worrying for the country is the standoff in Perak, a state where since early February the police have barred lawmakers who oppose the governing party from entering government buildings.
Mr. Najib spearheaded an effort to install a new chief minister in Perak by claiming that he had enough defectors from the opposition coalition, the Pakatan Rakyat, which last year took control of the State Assembly for the first time since independence from Britain in 1957.
Both sides remain at an impasse, and the sultan of Perak has rejected a plea by the speaker of the Assembly for a new election, which polls indicate would probably restore the opposition coalition to power.
Ibrahim Suffian, director of the Merdeka Center, an independent polling agency, said that as the governing party’s popularity wanes, Malaysia is failing a key test of any democracy: the peaceful transfer of power.
“Malaysian democracy hasn’t fully matured in the sense that those who lost the elections are unwilling to accept the results,” Suffian said. “There’s still some lack of acceptance of how democracy works.”
The United Malays National Organization has governed Malaysia since independence but came close to losing power in elections last March, a watershed that put into question the country’s ethnic-based party system.The barisan leadership thinks it can fool the victims all the time. But the question is how long can barias sustain policies which betray the victims, which are against the promises and oath which they take while grabbing the seats of power?you can win an election then damn the constitutional duties, damn the official prerogative and damn the human rights. if election commission makes sound against any of these then damn the election commission. the supreme court is still too sacred to be touched…for now.
Mr. Zaid, the former law minister, traces the roots of Malaysia’s current troubles to the privileges given to the country’s dominant ethnic group, the Malays. Governments led by the United Malays National Organization have provided contracts, discounts and special quotas to Malays through a far-reaching affirmative action program.
“We have sacrificed democracy for the supremacy of one race,” said Mr. Zaid, who himself is Malay. “It’s a political hegemony.”
The other two major ethnic groups in the country, Chinese and Indian, have increasingly withdrawn their support for the governing party in recent years and now largely back the opposition. Only 18 percent of Chinese voters and 28 percent of Indian voters polled by the Merdeka Center in December and January said they thought Mr. Najib would make a good prime minister. Mr. Najib had the support of 57 percent of Malays in the poll.
Declining support for the governing party has heightened the personal rivalry between Mr. Najib and Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition leader facing sodomy charges. In a measure of the political nature of the case, Mr. Anwar’s accuser met with Mr. Najib before going to the police.
“Our position vis-Ã -vis Najib is clear,” Mr. Anwar said in an interview. “He has become so repressive and crude in his methods.”
“There’s no way we will have any dealing or respect for him,” he added.Mr. Anwar among other things, a pledge for capital-account liberalization, friendlier foreign investment regimes, cleaner and more predictable governance and an end to price controls and racial quotas.The power of UMNO is threatened as the true Malays have awakened and knew they had been swindled and cheated by their so called “brothers” all these years. If a true Malay is threatened, it is Nizar. Look at all the UMNO ways of destroying a true Malay, even a gov’t clerk could be used. Do you think that the Malay does not see that UMNO is no longer control by Malays but .
Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad played the race card today, warning the Malays could lose their political power.
The former prime minister told a gathering of more than 1,000 at a rally organised by right wing Malay group Perkasa that the community was under threat from “various parties” which he did not specifically name.
He said that the Malays were being unfairly described as racists who practised apartheid but he contended that the community was only protecting their own rights.but you dont protect own rights showing your kriss at othersinterest of our people of this country are largely being ignored by our leaders.the mainstream media has become a political power instead of a sourcts, rather than the interests of those who elected themhow do we fight our modern day “taxation without representation”???
Wanting to be proclaimed a nationalist and hero in front of a predominant Malay crowd. You are viciously twisting facts, stir Malays hatred and blaming others for labelling Malays for being racists, promoting apartheid and illegal immigrants. Please name them, DJZ and who else..Don’t talk through your nose and come out with sweeping statements that put a severe dent to your reputation, if you still have any.
That’s an appealing message to Malaysia’s entrepreneurs, who grow in number with every passing year. It’s also a message that will appeal to ethnic minorities, who want equality of opportunity in schools and in business. As globalization moves on, Mr. Abdullah’s message of handouts and affirmative action will start to look tired — and perhaps it already has. We’ll know,
