Initially I was quite supportive of MCLM based on RPK's explanation and assurance that the '3rd Force' would not be contesting directly with PR but rather as 'repairmen'. Now, we hear that these people want to contest directly and almost all of them are lawyers and we all know which planet these loyar buroks come from. What's going on and who's telling lies and who's telling the truth?

Who benefits? That depends. Broadly speaking, everybody in the food chain. Manipulating policy, pushing agendas, blocking rivals, disseminating ‘news’ , misinformation and even blatant lies—it’s all part and parcel of the game. Non-alignment is only a theoretical concept. All opinion is necessarily subjective. Often prejudiced. Sometimes mischievous and frequently malicious. A good journalist knows when to step back from landmines. And frankly, every journalist knows the difference between compromise and the truth. Either you are on the make or not. Either you are one hundred percent honest or not. Either you display professional integrity at all times or you don’t . Unless the person is dumb. Seriously dumb. In which case, journalism is the last place to be in… though, going by the latest revelations, it would appear some of journalism’s best and brightest may have been had.

Come on, guys, let’s cut the crap and say it like it is— we are up excreta creek! By ‘we’ i mean our tribe. Journos. Hacks. Commentators . Opinion makers. Thought leaders. For once, the shoe is on the other foot and it is pinching like hell. We are not used to this. Us! Self-righteous and smug! Lofty creatures, who are forever sitting in judgment on the world and puffing out our chests for saving it! Suddenly, we find ourselves on the other side of the fence, at the receiving end of serious flak, and we don’t like it at all! In fact, we can’t handle the heat and we are in a state of either defiance or denial. Guess what? It is time to square our shoulders and take it on the chin. Same as we expect others to when we run our explosive exposes. Are we mature enough to do that? Are we ready to turn the searchlight inwards and ask ourselves the one question we have been dodging: what went wrong and why?

Something is clearly amiss, and the time to address that ‘something’ is now.

Let’s get a few things straight: Journalists are not demi-gods , even if they like others to think they are. They are as human, as vulnerable , as greedy as the next person. Some, more than others. Journalists have always brokered power. Always. Not just in India but all over the world. As power brokers, they have frequently played a key role in exposing corruption , mainly because they’ve had access to privileged information. Morally upright journos (and they do exist!) have used this information for a greater good and not as a means to either blackmail others or enrich themselves. The line is thin—most don’t realize they have crossed it till it is too late. Sure, power is an aphrodisiac (thank you, Henry Kissinger!) and some vain journos have taken the aphrodisiac part literally, to… errr… screw their detractors! Others have limited themselves to soaring high on ego trips but strictly sans price tags. Either way, it has made a lot of heads swell. Being close to the centre of power in Delhi has been both a curse and a boon to scribes who live there. Capital cities are like that (think Watergate and Washington), and nobody remains immune to that heady proximity to politicos – not even self-declared , hard-bitten cynics. Delhi journos are a breed apart. Gone are the days of the slouchy jholawalas pounding the pavements, or prowling those corridors of power in search of a scoop. Delhi has spawned a generation of super glam ‘Designer Journos’ —they dress sharp, talk sharp, are sharp. Well-travelled , urbane and sexy as hell, these hotties are as much in the limelight as the people they grill in print and on television. They have counterparts worldwide —the nature of today’s media business is such. We love our celeb journos… we are their devoted groupies . These people are legitimate stars. Why not? They write well, look great and party hard. Nobody grudges them their perks. Their lifestyles rival those of Bollywood stars and they have as vast a fan following. It’s all good.

Or… is it?

Reminder to all United Malays National Organisation(New) Members: Hishamuddin Rais –thanks Tourman for this video–tells us of what Mahathir did to you. He bonsaid you all good and proper and to prove his point, he appointed a bonsaid Melayu from Kepala Batas as his successor. Today, you can no longer think for yourself and know what is right and what is wrong. You have lost confidence in yourself and have to depend on Article 153 and a Papa or Nanny Government:

The Antics and Silat of a Pandikar in Dewan Rakyat

by Joseph Sipalan@www.malaysiakini.com

Parliament speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia has been accused of having a conflict of interest by chairing today’s tumultuous proceedings in the House, since he also chaired the Rights and Privileges Committee that recommended the suspension of Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

Suspension of Opposition Leader over APCO

The Dewan Rakyat today passed a motion to suspend Anwar (PKR-Permatang Pauh) for six months for his statement linking Prime Minister Najib Razak’s ’1Malaysia’ concept with the ‘One Israel’ policy mooted by former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak.

The motion was passed amidst incessant protests from the opposition bench.When Parliament began its session at 10.15am, the opposition MPs made numerous attempts to filibuster the motion to suspend Anwar.

Shah Alam Hospital and Inept Works Minister

It started with Khalid Samad (PAS-Shah Alam ), who tried to query Works Minister Shaziman Abu Mansor over his failure to respond to an earlier question involving the troubled Shah Alam Hospital.

This was despite the speaker’s order to the Minister last Monday to provide an answer. This led to the opposition bench questioning whether the speaker was able to uphold his own decisions.

The MPs accused Pandikar of failing to take action on Shaziman despite the latter’s clear disregard of the speaker’s directive to respond to Khalid’s question on Monday.

Anwar then rose to challenge Pandikar, saying that if the speaker was willing to let Shaziman’s transgression slide, then it would be feasible for the House to allow him to defend himself in Parliament against the charge raised against him.

Following this, Karpal Singh (DAP-Bukit Gelugor) said Pandikar had “lost the moral authority” to sit as speaker while the motion against Anwar was being tabled, since he also chaired the Dewan Rakyat’s rights and privileges committee.

Responding to Anwar, Pandikar said the opposition leader had been given one week to defend himself, sparking another round of heckling from the opposition bench, led by Azmin Ali (PKR-Gombak), who repeatedly wagged his finger at Pandikar while they denied Anwar was given such opportunity.

No reprieve for the chair

The Pandikar of Dewan Rakyat

The speaker managed to quell the opposition, albeit for a short spell, to respond to Karpal, but the situation again erupted into a frenzy of shouts and protests when Pandikar explained that his position as chairperson of the committee was ex-officio, with no role in the decision-making process or voting.

The heckling continued unabated, forcing the embattled speaker to ask Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz to go ahead and table the motion against Anwar.

At this point, the opposition members pulled out home-made placards, with words and phrases such as ‘kangaroo’, ‘BN sokong Apco‘ and ‘Selamatkan dewan, hidup ketua pembangkang‘ (Save the House, long live the opposition leader).

The non-stop heckling finally pushed Pandikar to cite rule 44 of the Standing Orders to bar the opposition from debating the motion against Anwar. The motion was then quickly put to a vote, to which the opposition members protested and started chanting ‘bohong! bohong!‘ (lies! lies!) before staging a walkout en bloc.

Three more senior Opposition members suspended

After an opposition walkout, a second motion to suspend Karpal, Azmin and R Sivarasa (PKR-Subang) for six months over statements they made in connection with Anwar’s case with the rights and privileges committee.

Among those who debated were Abdul Rahman Dahlan (BN-Kota Belud), Ibrahim Ali (Ind-Pasir Mas), Zulkifli Nordin (Ind-Kulim Bandar Baru) and Wee Choo Keong (Ind-Wangsa Maju) taking full advantage of the opportunity to attack Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat.

When it came time to winding up the debates, Nazri said that since no one from the opposition bench was present, there was no need to deliberate further and moved to open the motion to a vote.

It was quickly passed. With that, the four MPs will now be barred from the next parliamentary session, expected to be held in March next year. Soon after the vote, the government pushed through two Finance Ministry bills – the first concerning the Customs duties arrangements between Malaysia and other countries with which it has signed free trade agreements.

The second bill covered the increase in excise duty on the sale of cigars in Malaysia. Parliament was then adjourned sine die.
