Perak is the place to be where wheelers and dealers trade by saying "I won't spill the beans on Mongolian girl as long as I am still the real Tai Koh mafia thug head" "Perakians can rot in hell while I make hay in the Monte Carlo casinos, cruise down the French Riviera all at the expense of the poor sods"
This is the end product of Mr. 1Malaysia.
After seeing what was happening in the DUN Perak, I do not have any doubt about Dr Quah writing regarding UMNO involvement in May 13 1969 incident. In order to stay in power, we have seen that UMNO has conspired with PDRM, judges, AG and MACC to bring down the opposition. They have even go beyond the extend of murdering as in the case of TBH.
Let's hope that one day when PR form the new government, those responsible will be brought to the justice.
Barbaric regime breeds barbaric conduct which we commonly see in UMNO/BN aduns as well as police and MACC morons. Corrupted UMNO/BN regime must go before more harm befalls us, so rakyat Malaysia please rise and kick them out in the next GE. No other way to solve this problem Remember May13? that's the indicative how far these "illegal entities" will go!
And by the way...that so-called "Perak Annual Budget Report" may include allocation for MB Haram 2nd marriage wedding ceremony, some allocation to purchase Ferraris for Excos Haram "official" usage, some allocation to pay "commission" to the Perak's Kataks,etc etc....Heyyy who will know? The budget was passed much much faster than Superman can wear his underwear..get what i mean?
We must not ignore, it was so difficult to convince members to contest under PKR banner then because most did not expect PKR could win that easily in the 2008 election. That was the reason why an ex postman was selected to be one of the candidates.
But the situation has changed and now a substantial number of trusted and qualified candidates are waiting in que for the 2013 General Election candidates. So be tolerant with PKR and Anwar for the moment if you wish for a change in Malaysian politics.
The “Right or Wrong, True or False, Moral or Immoral” in this political impasse is decide by Rakyat, not the so called judges, lawyers, politicians or even Sultan.
BN, you are come to the end of road, and the only destination for you is “Hell”!
BN must make up its mind once and for all. Does it still want to put up the pretence that Malaysia is a democracy? If it does, should it continue to bombard our senses with such disgusting scenes and bare to the world the ugly truth of what Malaysia truly is?

After the nonsensical assembly sitting in Perak on Oct 28, Barisan Nasional should deeply reflect whether it is worthwhile to prolong its farcical rule in the Silver State.
To say the least, the session was a complete wash out.
First, police control and intervention inside and outside the assembly was so heavy and so overpowering that it has completely destroyed the image of our legislature as an independent and the highest institution in our system of government.
Second, the slip-shot manner with which BN’s budget motion was rushed through makes us wonder whether the budget was legally approved.
Let us start with the budget approval.
BN’s Mentri Besar Zambry Kadir started his budget speech at 1120 hrs, and thirty minutes later, he had not only completed his speech, but had moved his budget motion through three readings, each time approved by the BN assemblymen present, under vocal protests from Pakatan assemblymen. There was no debate and no one seemed to have heard any detailed figures – if figures were read out then, these were not carried in many newspapers the next day anyway. Pakatan assemblymen walked off the assembly immediately after the approval of the third reading.
A budget proposal is a statement of revenues and expenditures as well as major policies that encompass the entire government which is made up of many departments. So, it is normally a lengthy speech, followed by debates that take place during each of the first, second and third readings. It is hence a real marvel how the assembly could have compressed such elaborate process of proposal, deliberation and decision in all the three stages in the short interval of half an hour.
Through such gun-shot approval, the voices of the people who speak through their representatives are muted. Isn’t this a mockery of our democratic process and betrayal of the trust of the people?
Was budget legally approved?
On top of that is the questionable legality of Ganesan’s position as speaker. His election as speaker on May 7 was deemed a fake, as the assembly session on that day was so chaotic and violent that it was not possible to conduct any business except the delivery of the opening speech by the Regent. Compounding this now is Ganesan’s breach of the Perak Constitution Article 36 A (5) which stipulates that a speaker must relinquish his private practice immediately or in any case not later than three months after his appointment, failing which he shall be disqualified. So, even if Ganesan’s appointment on May 7 was legal (which is not at all the case), he was already disqualified on Aug 7.
With an illegal speaker presiding in the assembly, can any business be conducted legally, least of all the all important agenda of the state budget approval?
No doubt, BN may be least worried about matters of illegality, confident of its iron-grip on the entire government machinery to serve its parochial interests. After all, isn’t BN Mentri Besar Zambry, who was appointed while incumbent Mentri Besar Nizar Jamaluddin was still serving, also illegal if the courts have been upholding the constitution? Isn’t the entire state cabinet, which was selected by Zambry, also illegal?
But can BN afford the massive loss of popular support every time the police manhandle and bully elected representatives from the opposing camp or judges dishing out blatantly unconstitutional rulings?
Barbaric police intervention
Take the ridiculous scenario of the Perak assembly of Oct 28. The entire assembly compound was turned into a virtual war zone, with the entrance being protected by the kind of barbed wire seen only in war time. Hundreds of policemen and riot squad who had been milling inside and outside the building manned the five check points stretching from the gate to the door of the assembly hall. Pakatan assemblymen complained of harassment every inch of their way to the last check point where they were subjected to the humiliation of a body search and metal scan and their personal effects of hand phones, lap-tops, cameras etc being forcibly removed before they entered the hall.
On his way to the assembly hall, Speaker Sivakumar was lured to an area not visible to reporters and the public where he was pounced upon by scores of police personnel who forcibly disrobed him. In the melee, he was punched and strangulated with an arm lock, and his colleagues roughened up for trying to protect him.
Pray, where in the world can you see such barbaric act? Not even in the pariah state of Zimbabwe!
The picture inside the assembly hall is not any prettier. Scores of police personnel were there to man the entire assembly, with twenty of them forming a protective wall in front of the BN speaker Ganesan. And video cameras were transmitting live the activities of Pakatan assemblymen to the state police headquarters and the national headquarters at Bukit Aman, according to a Malaysiakini report.
Now, isn’t this the ultimate humiliation and insult to the highest and the most sanctimonious institution of a democracy, with the police contemptuously treating our Pakatan law makers as a bunch of criminals?
BN must make up its mind once and for all. Does it still want to put up the pretence that Malaysia is a democracy? If it does, should it continue to bombard our senses with such disgusting scenes and bare to the world the ugly truth of what Malaysia truly is?
GE13 will be a different ball game altogether.
Better get you act right this time before apocalypse later.
Badrul Hisham Abdullah ... quit PKR because he did not get money for activities at his house, according to Mentri Besar Khalid Ibrahim.
Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has dared Umno to call for a by-election in Port Klang after its assemblyman anak haram Badrul Hisham Abdullah quit PKR yesterday after claiming his constituency funds had been cut.
Najib, are you really a Malaysian leader? Are you realised you are the Destructor of this country from the day you assumed the post of Perak UMNO Chief? By appealling a stay order for the High Court decision, BN have burn its last effort to convince voter in the future.
MCA, MIC and others BN components parties! I know you are the Loyal Doggy, but would you think of how is the perception of peoples towards BN, UMNO and you?

It is apt that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who happens to head Barisan Nasional (BN) in Selangor, has signalled the ruling coalition’s intention of reclaiming Selangor from Pakatan Rakyat (PR) by calling for the BN to change, beginning with Umno.
Change is indeed the need of the hour for the BN’s component parties, since the voters in Selangor and four other states that chose to back non-BN candidates in the 2008 general election were clearly sending a message to their leaders that they want the “business as usual” culture to stop.Some of you may think that theSEE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE HERE video is in bad taste. I mean, how can we make fun of Teoh Beng Hock’s death when we should instead be mourning him? Yes, it was a hard decision to make as to whether to publish that video or not. But we decided to do it anyway not with intent to make fun of Teoh’s death but to reveal the real circumstances behind his death. And the video best describes the events behind what really happened
Nevertheless, “The Taking of Selangor 123”, to borrow a phrase from the box office’s recent offering, starring John Travolta and Denzel Washington, should be neither like a celluloid hostage drama nor anything as chaotic as the unfolding of the Perak constitutional crisis.
The prudent way to achieve that goal would be for the BN to take the long road by re-building its reputation with the voters one step at a time. As the Perak episode has shown, muscling into office does not win support for the politicians or coalition involved.
