(Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin) Ling's case shows impartial judiciary or great sadiwara Barisan National and the art of dying alive :
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said ‘What you have is cabinet which is not very knowledgeable all the time because it not made of up of expert of but politician, they can sometimes be stupid the cabinet merely gave approvals in principal and never really studied the implicatiom in some parts of the agreements’Its a sad indictement that the majority of the cabinet members do not have the requisite level of education nor proessionalism let alone the ability to run a department. Most of them were appointed based on dubious criterias. If you compare most of them to the calibre from our neighbouring contry, they win hands down. All we have are mostly parrots . What a sorry sight.
So the Malaysians habeen suckers all this while
Barisan National and the art of dying alive
It is easy to exaggerate the crisis in the B.N It would be wise, however, not to confuse the convulsions at the level of the leadership, impressively violent as they are, with the party’s death throes. The party is alive and kicking — and chopping and twirling and performing the rest of the prescribed morning drill with staff and khaki shorts.
There is only one strong inference that can be drawn from the ongoing turbulence in the B.N: the wild hope of some that the B.N would emerge as a stableThe B.N will remain in the thrall of the RACIALIST the mother organisation of the MAHATIRISM, for the foreseeable future.
Political parties in B.N are curious institutions. Many people see them purely as alternative platforms of patronage, their moral equivalence altered only by their degree of proximity to power. “He couldn’t get the ticket from party X, so he approached party Y” is an oft-heard refrain. That belonging to a party means allegiance to a particular leader is something people appreciate; that it entails allegiance to certain values, modes of functioning and policy choices unique to that party is not part of the conventional wisdom.
.Given such amorphous conceptualisation of a political party in the popular mind, it is not surprising that people make the common mistake of seeing the B.N also as yet another political party.
The B.Nclaims to be the party with a difference. That is no spurious claim. It is different in the sense that it is not just another platform in pursuit of power, pelf and patronage. The essence of its difference, the secret ingredient of this particular Maggi sauce, is its membership of MONGOLIA
What does it mean to be part of the MONGOLIA The primary implication is that you subscribe to and follow the ideology of the MAHATIRISM. The secondary implication is that you implicitly, if not explicitly, cede overriding powers of decision-making to the MCC in organisational, ideological and tactical matters. The MCC might choose not to play an active role in the decision-making process of aMONGOLIA outfit, but it can always assert its authority if it wants to.
This philosophy, quite obviously, is fascist in nature and anti-thetical to democracy. This, of course, makes the B.N, a party with a difference, as compared to most other parties that function within the limits of MALAYSIANS liberal democratic Constitution. This structure also gives the B.N its real strength and a steady stream of workers and supporters, regardless of the party’s bungling leadership.
Other political parties would make a big mistake if they focus exclusively on the squabbles among the leaders and ignore this network of feeder organisations for the B.N and the strength the party derives from their interlocking presence.
The tussle over leadership is also grossly overblown. Chua is their clear choice, despite the sobering electoral performance he managed to come up with. It is claimed that the UMNO doesn’t get along with CHUA and that would come in the way of his elevation to the leadership of the MCA. CHUA is too smart a politician to not build bridges with the UMNO, if that is what it takes to clear his path to the topEveryone is alive till he or she dies. So dying alive is the only way to die, you can’t die when already dead. Dying alive sounds interesting, but is little more than much ado about nothing. That is what the current squabble in the B.N amounts to as well.READMORE CLICK BELOW
Ling's arrest caught family by surprise Ferdtan: Dr Ling Liong Sik, you are a man with a past, not unlike the rest of the BN leaders. It so happens that the present new regime finds you dispensable and 'useful' in their uncanny scheme to project a 'clean government' before they call for a new election. You fit the bill so well. You may be a Tun, conferred with Dr Mahathir Mohamad's blessing but other than that you wield no power, with no party post to protect you. Don't worry, you will not be found guilty but your reputation will be in tatters. Just like Eric Chia, you will be a broken old man. However, you can still have one option left to salvage your pride and reputation, albeit risky to your sons' political lives - come out with your guns blazing away. Shoot without fear at anyone, no matter how high their positions. We may forgive you and you will be our repentant hero. Cala: Ling Liong Sik is a disgrace to MCA and the Chinese community for his role in PKFZ (Port Klang Free Zone) scandal and his part in sending the party down south. Let him be punished for whatever wrong befitting the crimes he committed. No right thinking Malaysian would condone corruption. Wira: Tun, I've heard you delivering speeches on two occasions, once in the presence of TDM (Tun Dr Mahathir) and the other, when TAAB (Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) was the guest of honour. On both occasions, you talked for 20 minutes, with 80 percent of the time dedicated to singing the glories of the sitting prime minister. I hope when you spend time in jail, both former PMs can join you there to listen to more verbal diarrhoea from you.Gen2: I will only seriously believe it when somebody big gets charged for the submarine commissions.Ling's case shows impartial judiciary: DPM Sentinel:The DPM (Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin) ain't that smart a chap, is he? How can the judiciary proven to be impartial when the trial hasn't started yet? Duh... By the way DPM, why was OC Phang handcuffed but not Ling Liong Sik? KJ John: The DPM does not know what he is talking about. One charge does not constitute the judiciary; it only needs a selective prosecution and persecution-minded AG (attorney-general) and DPPs (deputy public prosecutors). Anonymous: What? Just charging him shows impartiality? Only when he's convicted and sentenced behind bars (and not with a one-month jail term) will we agree there's impartiality. And what about his accomplices, S Samy Vellu and Dr Mahathir Mohamad? Why bother to charge such a high-profile VVIP if he has nothing to do with the whole scam? I'm sure there's enough evidence to charge him but will the (BN-influenced) judge decide otherwise or acquit him due to technical flaws? Another 'sandiwara' because GE13 is around the corner? Multi Racial:Correct, correct, correct, Muhyiddin. So what about the other big fish who were involved in the PKFZ scandal?vWhat about the submarine corruption? What about super rich former MB Dr Mohd Khir Toyo and his mansion? And not to be forgotten - VK Lingam and the two former chief judges. Impartial? Charge them. Bring all of them to court. Josephine: Just charging him is not enough, DPM. Being charged is not the same as being convicted and punished. Even if Ling is convicted, justice is not served until all the hidden hands in the RM4.6 billion fiasco are put behind bars.Joe: If Ling's case shows anything, it shows BN-Umno's dirty trick in trying to hoodwink the rakyat that it is taking action on the PKFZ scandal, just as it took 'action' against Eric Chia on the Perwaja scandal. Nobody is fooled. PKFZ: Foolhardy to ignore new 'missing links' Habib RAK: Should in the face of clear and explicit reason given to Transport Minister Kong Cho Ha on why payment should be withheld, and if he does make the payment today, the rakyat will hold him in contempt. Be warned Kong Cho Ha, you will be charged like Tun Ling. The rakyat has awaken. When Tun Ling can be charged, you should know the degree of anger of the rakyat. YF: OTK (Ong Tee Keat), gone are the days in BN when a politician is voted by the people for the people. You are perhaps the only politician in BN that has the respect of the people of being a person with 'principles'. The problem is you're sitting on the wrong side of the fence as even the party you so dearly love is now an advocate for bad and immoral practices. If you love justice, and if you love this country, then you know what is the right thing to do. Anonymous: How to share the loot with fellow Umno cronies if the monies is not released? The present transport minister is nothing but a lapdog to the vested interests of the corrupted MCA and Umno.
