Are the allegations that surfaced lately true? I am not from the rank and file. As an officer who formerly served in the AF, I say it clearly that it is true. My own ballot paper was marked by a corporal in Mindef during the 1999 GE. If my words are not good enough, please ask the honorable Brig-general at mind no evil blog. To me anyone that manipulates the voting system in this country is treacherous. The one who ordered the lower rank personnel are a bigger traitor. A general who comes on TV and says it did not happen is clearly nothing more than a political pawn.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he never had opportunity to be involved in the vote rigging. Therefore I can say that he made a statement based on his own experience. However, I expect a serving General to come to the fore and says that he is not sure about it in the past (because he was at a lower rank back then and was not aware of the scam) but while he is holding the fort he will ensure that it will not happen. That is my expectation from this man and not calling those who had declared what they did as traitors.

Hello Semua,

We've had our 1st Rakyat Voices on BERSIH 2.0, and I guess we explored new ways to discuss issues. Sure, there are things that need tweaking but, all in all, we can further engage with one another and hopefully in a more participatory way.

For our second Rakyat Voices session, we're gonna talk about 'The State of Emergency and The Emergency Ordinance'.

Do you know that we're under four States of Emergency that haven't been lifted yet?

Many of us have been following the EO6 case and by now would have at least some idea or opinion about the Emergency Ordinance.

Even if we haven't, tidak mengapa.

Come over and we'll try to collectively understand the issue, share and discuss it and see if we can do something about it.

We'll have the one and only loyar hensem Edmund Bon help us to understand the issue and the consequences and we'll have a facilitated discussion and sharing.

And it is all done as part and parcel of their every day activities...so smooth, so practised and so confident of himself that he will get what he asks for!

This Babi is asking and getting SATU RATUS RINGGIT. This is not only daylight robbery but this is how those with any power in Malaysia can extort money from the public and are doing so at will because they get away with it. You can see how many BABI are deployed in this operation - not stopping one car at a time but many many cars at any one time. Can you imagine the amount of money they rake in?

In the thousands in a day......and yet I am sure that what they collect in the whole month from us unfortunate motorists still dwarfs what their Senior Officers, their IGP and what their Ministers rake in a week from their collection from God knows who else!

No less a person then our Prime Minister should see this as a blight upon the good name of our country because this will by now, be all over Singapore. This will, by now be discussed and talk over by Singaporeans during their coffee breaks, meals and anytime they get together with each other...and every time I can just picture them give that knowing nod of the head and a wry smile that confirms "I told you they are a corrupt lot" sentiments that they have always had about not only the Malaysian Politicians, but the Malaysian Babi and by inference all us Malaysians. Malu lah Najib. Where to hide our face...

In Just Another Political Fantasty, Himanshu Bhatt of The Sun discussed the implications of the alleged invitation by Nazri for DAP to join BN. Nazri, who was quoted making the invitation by Sin Chew Daily on Aug 14, later denied he had extended such an invitation. Naturally, the DAP quarter expressed surprise at the purported invitation by an Umno leader to join the BN. In response, Penang CM Lim Guan Eng said that the offer had come "out of the blue" as no one had mentioned it before. He then reaffirmed DAP's allegiance to Pakatan Rakyat.

In reality, the situation has very close parallels with the Gerakan situation in the early 70's after Gerakan swept into power with popular people's support to wrest control of the Penang government in 1969. Later on Gerakan joined the federal ruling coalition, the Alliance, which was renamed Barisan Nasional in 1973. Of course, the playing field was different then but this development certainly can (in the words of Himanshu Bhatt) "provide nevertheless some spice to the ever-percolating broth of our everyday politics."

On September 16th 2008, 30 BN MPs were supposed to have crossed over to help Pakatan form the new federal government. Prior to that fateful day, many Malaysians waited with much expectancy for that purported event to happen. However, nothing happened. No one crossed over to the other side.

Now, let's be honest. If any Pakatan MPs crossed over to join BN, they would have been labelled as frogs, traitors, turncoats, etc.

When BN MPs are enticed to cross over they are NOT frogs, traitors, turncoats, etc. They are regarded as warriors.

The truth is - BN MPs will NOT cross over unless there is some benefit to them. To put it simply, it means we need to buy them. Would this not make them mercenaries? That being the case, how different would the 30 BN MPs be to those Pakatan MPs who have crossed over then?

You can read more about what actually happened n RPK's post on The Bumiputera race torpedoed the Putrajaya race.

This post also provides the timeline of events that happened before September 16th, 2008.

This is the sad situation. We applaud and welcome BN MPs who cross over. We vilify Pakatan MPs who do the same. If so, what values do we in the opposition maintain?

Cheating is okay as long as we win. Cheating is not okay if it is BN that wins.

In short, we have reached that part in the political game where many seem to have no values. Why?
