MCA, Gerakan to follow Najib-Umno and postpone party polls?

Samy already leaving, Chua and Koh likely to lose party polls

What a disgrace, more so when Anwar is the parliamentary opposition leader. It is best for Anwar to take his impending suspension to the court of public opinion.'

Anwar to be suspended without his defence heard
Gerard Samuel Vijayan: This is the kind of natural justice practiced by the Najib Razak regime. Punish a person without him being given the right to be heard and to present his defence. This is unprecedented in the history of parliamentary practice unless you happen to live in Burma, North Korea, Sudan, etc - countries that the BN loves to emulate.
What a disgrace, more so when Anwar Ibrahim is the parliamentary opposition leader. If he goes to the court, our great judges will rule that Article 72 of the constitution applies and therefore the court has no jurisdiction on the matter.

It is best for Anwar to take his impending suspension to the court of public opinion. Let the voters have the final say on the injustices and abuses of the BN regime. Let the whole world know that Malaysia is an authoritarian state with no respect for the rule of law, fundamental freedoms and human rights.
Singa Pura Pura: Oftentimes, politics is a game of anticipatory chess-calculations and analytical prowess. Now that Karpal Singh and R Sivarasa have withdrawn from any further deliberations (and can no longer claim to have any positive influence on the decision of the committee), the certainty and quality of the goal that Umno can score here is literally at its angled right foot.
A decision not to suspend the opposition leader would cut the legion of hardcore-Umno-critics (myself included) right at their knees and embellish Umno with rare decorations of seeming magnanimity and comity. That might be worth thousands of votes from fence-sitters who have been increasingly tempted to buy into Amanah Saham 1Malaysia.

The question is: Can Umno resist such an all-gratifying strike (or stroke) at its once-exalted arch-angel and heir to the throne of Malay politics?
Lover Boy: Why the unholy haste to hear the matter? The right to be heard and to present the case fairly is a human right.
House speak Pandikar Amin Mulia, I know your light bulb up there is not too bright but people like Dr Fong Chan Onn, a former lecturer in the university, should know better. We know what is the final outcome - that you chaps are going to suspend Anwar from Parliament - but at the end of the day, the world is watching.

This indeed is a black day for the Malaysian parliament. The bastion of democracy has now gone to the dogs and you cannot prevent us from thinking that Apco has Israeli links for you to try to close the matter so fast.
Anonymous: The speaker and the BN government is trying to silence Anwar so that he doesn't spill the government's Apco deal and connection. That's why Anwar is not called for his defence. It does not take a genius to figure this out.
Monsterball: "D-Day is coming. Judgment day is near," so said Najib to his ministers. A confident man will not say that. Najib has split personality. One side, he wants to be truthful. The other side, he is pure acting and try hard to fool Malaysians to win their confidence, and therefore their votes, with all sorts of tricks and treats.

A confident commander would have said, "Prepare for victory. Work hard and don't disappoint the voters who are supporting us." He claimed to have 72 percent support. Why be negative?
It is as critical to allow yourself to feel and learn from negative emotions as it is to revel in positive feelings
One of the most reassuring things I have heard in recent times is that it's okay to be scared; you do not require courage to face what you do not fear. It's a comforting thought that even the most courageous men and women were scared of that which they ultimately faced and conquered. They are heroes not because their hearts never trembled with fear, but because they conquered that fear. So, fear becomes not just an acceptable but even welcome emotion because it paves the way for courage and heroism. It is fine to be frightened, but not to run away from it.
When Greek King Odysseus is persuading hero of the Trojan War Achilles, to participate in the War in the movie Troy, he tells him, "You don't fear anyone, that's your problem. Sometimes fear is useful."
As with fear, so with other 'negative' emotions. It is important to experience the entire gamut of emotions in order to fully appreciate life. So fear is as important as courage; sadness as important as happiness; to cry is as critical as it is to laugh, to grieve every bit as needed as to celebrate. If positive emotions help give us confidence and cheer, negative emotions too serve a purpose.
When a relationship breaks, the excruciating pain you go through helps cleanse your spirit. The experience forces you to ask yourself a lot of questions and search your soul for the answers. You come out of it a more evolved and enriched human being. A few years after she walked out of a painful marriage, a friend says, "I do not regret anything that happened. The experiences I went through with my husband enriched me spiritually. Nothing else could have taught me so much about life."readmore When Malaysian opposition tiger walks, the jungle stands in attention, the Barisan MPS wet their pants
