Hey, Mahathir…listen up!

I thought this would be an interesting article for you guys and gals to debate on. After an overdose of Mahathir, and Perkasa, this is timely.

Eli, victim of political sexual violence speaks…

A plea from Elizabeth Wong, State Assemblyman, Bukit Lanjan and Selangor State Executive Councilor” in a press statement today:

It has been exactly a year and 2 months since I returned to work with the Selangor state government after taking leave last year. It was the hardest decision I had to make then, and it has not become
easier as time goes by.

But I have made a decision then to continue to serve my constituents, my state and country, and to send a message to all victims of criminal intimidation to stand firm and not retreat into silence.

It comes as no surprise that Barisan Nasional continues to subject me to political violence by assaulting and violating my personal life, by continuously victimizing victims.

While Bayan Baru and his team were wallowing in gutter politics yesterday, I was proposing in the Selangor State Exco meeting to address a critical national issue, of outstanding students, regardless creed and ethnicity, needing our help to further their education.

Penang Umno in hot soup?

But this soup isn’t delicious, not even on a cold rainy day.

I finished writing this insignificant story about 12 midnite after a two hour press conference last night (June 15). My editor in Malaysiakini placed it in such a non-prominent place that you might miss it. But I’d like you to see how crazy Umno has become…this maybe and is just the tip of the ice-berg.

Days are going to be terribly exciting in Penang, I think. Here’s part of the story:

ANGRY UMNO JELUTONG LEADERS SPIT FIRE @ AZHAR

A group of Umno leaders in Jelutong are extremely angry with their state party secretary Azhar Ibrahim for speaking to the press about the purported demise of their branches.

During an emergency two-hour press conference in Hotel Grand Continental in Penang late last night, the embattled leaders challenged Azhar (left) to prove that the branches were indeed deactivated when none of them had been notified of the closure by the party’s supreme council.

The group insisted that the business of announcing division or branch closure was the duty of the top leadership, not a mere state information chief as Azhar.

According to the group, the state Umno had received a positive letter from the supreme council following recommendations from an investigative team from Kuala Lumpur which visited the branches in May last year.

The five investigation officers were said to be tasked by Umno president and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to ‘find out the truth’ behind the suspension and allegations that the branches had no proper members lists.

Following their probe, the team had found only four out of the 17 suspended branches questionable, said the leaders.

“The other 13 were found to be in order as we have produced members with their identity cards to show that the members lists are proper,” the leaders added.

When its round 3, KJ sudah jadi KO!

Can’t imagine why KJ hasn’t got the message. Maybe he has, but just bidding his time, plotting, conniving, having a ball, too.

It’s so insulting when he is the ONLY Umno Youth chief who hasn’t been confered a minister’s post. Were there others?

It’s more like a slap on the face.What! It’s worst than C4 I tell you. If you are C4, you get blasted into pieces and you die. This one shreads you, especially your pride, into a thousand pieces, but you don’t die.

You see the BoolS**h happening in front of your very eyes. What’s your plan, KJ?

Here’s the story that made me feel so mad, so angry, so pityfool for KJ:

Don’t forget KJ in Round 3, PM urged

Puteri Aida Haryani and Zulaikha Zulkifli | Jun 3, 10 10:40am

Several Umno Youth leaders have come forward to urge prime minister Najib Abdul Razak to consider appointing their leader onto the cabinet.

A mockery of the 26mil tree planting project!

These photos were taken along our Jelutong Expressway, when I was on my way to the Speakers Corner @ the Esplanade (if you don’t already know, get off the Island!!!) to attend some free speech event.

The trees are dying and it was beyond me and my friend who rode in my car why they are being shaved, left ‘botak’ (bald) and miserable.

The bark has turned very dark, and when we asked the contractor why this is being done, he merely said: please don’t ask me, I have been instructed to do so…the usual reply.

There are at least 30-odd trees like that. Hey they are not blocking anyone, nor do we see them being potentials for accidents.

Sigh…so much for the 26mil tree-planting project by the government! Who’s gaining from it all? The trees don’t and neither do we.
