Wong Tack Should Not Stand on PKR Ticket Unless Anwar Ibrahim & Him Clarify Their Stand on Lynas

Posted: 10 Mar 2013 05:57 PM PDT

According to the news media, Malaysia's Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has pledged to back Australian miner Lynas operating a controversial rare earths processing plant, if a new public inquiry proves it to be safe.

Earlier he had demanded the plant's closure.

Dr Anwar confirmed that if he won power, he would fast-track the inquiry but until then he would move quickly to shut the plant near the coastal town of Kuantan, 194 kilometres north-east of Kuala Lumpur.

Dr Anwar said he would offer the company and others the opportunity to testify before any inquiry.

He would also seek to involve world experts on rare earths that are used to make high-tech products such as smartphones, iPods, flat-screen televisions, hybrid cars and missiles. "If Lynas can come out with a convincing argument there is no risk to people's safety and security I will be the first to champion the plant there," Dr Anwar said.

A friend and a renowned Malaysian socio-political scientist teaching in Singapore reacted when he first read Anwar's statement: " Apparently Anwar also said that Lynas might not be postponed if it is reviewed under PR???? WTH?? Im trying to confirm if he actually said this to the Australian press...Dude, what the hell Anwar has been smoking???"

Anwar's stand is putting his PR's manifesto in jeopardy. The document has clearly stated that it shall STOP Lynas if the coalition comes into power. No compromise, no further enquiry and without a doubt. The argument is simple; the project has brought psychological pain and stress to the people surrounding the area. Fishermen are afraid of water contamination. Families are afraid of rare earth particles in the air.

Anwar in his interview, which can be viewed from the link provided, said that he has confided in Wong Tack on his recent move to grant Lynas an opportunity to redeem itself by coming out with a convincing argument that there is no risk to people's safety and health.

Hence, it is best that Wong Tack clarifies with Anwar Ibrahim his recent stand on Lynas. It would be prudent for Wong Tack to state his own stand too since his name was brought up by Anwar in the interview.

Uncommon Sense with Wong Chin Huat: Lahad Datu — How might Malaysians vote in the GE?

Posted: 10 Mar 2013 12:28 PM PDT

THE Malaysian security forces finally launched a military offensive against Filipino militants who landed on Sabah's shores on 9 February 2013 to reclaim it for the Sulu Sultanate. Deaths have mounted, with more than 50 Sulu militants and eight Malaysian police personnel killed. (Update: an unidentified teenager was shot by Malaysian forces on 10 March.) But the Barisan Nasional (BN) government initially appeared more interested in negotiating with the armed intruders and downplaying their hostile intentions.

The Nut Graph asks political scientist Dr Wong Chin Huat what to make of the government's response and what impact it may have on the coming general election.

TNG: What are your comments on the BN government's initial response to the invasion?

The government seemed to initially adopt an appeasement policy towards the foreign combatants who invaded our land and openly claimed ownership of it. The invaders landed on 9 February and on 18 February, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein actually claimed they were neither terrorist nor militant.

It took 25 days for the Malaysian security forces to take action on 5 March. By then, two police commandos had been killed on 1 March in Lahad Datu and another six the following day in Semporna. Hishammuddin had tweeted on 28 February that our security forces had not fired any shots but were shot at that morning.

It does seem that our government was initially bending over backwards to downplay the threat from the invaders. Especially when compared with their contrasting attitude when they detained Australian Senator Nick Xenophon at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal and thendeported him.

timeline-lahad-datu

What do you think are the reasons for the government's slow response?

There are three possible answers to our government's initial appeasement policy.

First, our authorities could be pacifist to the core. They might beat up unarmed Malaysiandemonstrators to maintain public order but they will not mess with foreign combatants. In that sense, Xenophon's problem was not that he interfered in Malaysian internal affairs, but that he didn't do so backed up by over 100 militants. In Hishammuddin's words, "Since they had guns, it is important our action does not lead to bloodshed."

Second, there are the conspiracy theories. Against the background of Tun Mahathir Mohamad's Project IC, some theorise that the Sulu militants are part of the BN government's plot to enfranchise more foreigners. The talk of the militants coming to claim land offered to them, claimed by Filipino sources, fuelled this line. Another variant pursues the possibility that the crisis was manufactured to either frighten the Sabahans to vote BN or to generate patriotic sentiments which BN may ride on. Alternatively, this could be used to justify an emergency in Sabah. The traditional media accusing the opposition leaders of triggering the crisis adds credibility to this variant of conspiracy theory.

The third possibility is of course that the authorities have acted flawlessly. The appeasement in the first three weeks was part of the game plan to make the Sulu invaders look unreasonable, hence paving the way for their annihilation later. In other words, the delay and seeming indecisiveness were all part of the master plan.

Which possibility is the most likely?

It is difficult to say. It is unlikely that the claim about land being offered can be validated. Even if this is true, the Kiram clan may not press this as they may be busy negotiating to avoid criminal charges by both the Philippines and Malaysia.

It is also subjective whether the three-week delay and appeasement manifested by Hishammuddin emboldened the Sulu militants' aggressiveness and contributed to avoidable loss of Malaysian lives. A critical assessment that truly puts national interests before partisan interests may not be possible for now as the nation is seemingly engulfed in a mood of unconditional patriotism.

What effect could this invasion and the BN government's response have on the election results in Sabah and in Malaysia as a whole?

It really depends on whether Sabahan and Malaysian voters will accept a Johnny-come-lately Margaret Thatcher in Datuk Seri Najib Razak. When the Falkland Islands were invaded by the Argentineans on 2 April 1982 in an undeclared war, an emergency Parliament meeting was convened. Thatcher rallied her Parliament and the nation to start a campaign which saw the British triumph in 74 days. Looking like another determined and brave war leader after Winston Churchill, Mrs Thatcher won the nickname "Iron Lady".

In contrast, Najib let his ministers handle the crisis while he went on his election campaigns, showing little sense of urgency. No emergency Parliament sitting has been convened despite calls from the opposition and the public to do so to enable national deliberation and resolution. Instead, the home minister made unimaginably appeasing remarks, as described earlier.

Malaysia Today has written a SPECIAL REPORTS piece on this titled  "Is Azmin Ali making his move or is this S*d*my 3?"   

RPK has suggested an interesting conspiracy theory. RPK says : 

"Is Azmin Ali making his move to finish off Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Nurul Izzah or is this S*d*my 3 looming on the horizon, engineered by Azmin and gang to finish off Anwar Ibrahim instead? Anyway, this letter appears to be an attempt to bring down the entire Anwar clan -- father, mother and daughter."

 

BN Dog Fight! – Tengah ‘Plotters’ Scrap For Candidates EXCLUSIVE

Posted: 09 Mar 2013 12:00 PM PST

Taib loyalists are again confiding in Sarawak Report over details of alleged plans to seize control of politics in Sarawak, in order to topple the Chief Minister after the coming federal election.

Their revelations prove that Sarawak BN is a coalition in crisis, turned in and fighting with itself, as its leaders struggle to gain the key position in control of the 'rich resources' of the State that Najib Razak recently referred to.

That position is the one that has been occupied by Taib Mahmud for the past 30 years and which is now said to be coveted by his Second Minister for Planning, Awang Tengah.

"To swap Taib Mahmud for Awang Tengah is like leaving the tiger for the crocodile" explained one key source, who says the reason that the whistleblowers have chosen to come to Sarawak Report is that no Sarawak newspaper would dare publish a story about disloyalty in BN.

However, the in-fighting reflects a similar struggle at the party's federal level, where the PM's deputy, Muhyiddin bin Yassin, is widely reported as being at the head of a plot to seize control himself the moment the election is out of the way.

The plan to control the federal BN candidates?

Mustapa Han – Trusted diary keeper or the key traitor in Taib's office? Loyalists are claiming that Han is only allowing Tengah's people to get near Taib Mahmud.

The loyalists to Taib say that disenchanted plot members have revealed full details of what is going on.

They are fearful they have not a moment to lose to alert their leader, whom they say is being primed to appoint a BN candidate list for the federal election that is packed with secret Tengah supporters.

Earlier revelations in this blog have already detailed the names of existing supporters of Tengah in the Dun Assembly, highlighting the Speaker Mohd Asfia Awang Nassar.

Tengah is said to have promised Nassar the coveted job of Governor if he gets to be Chief Minister.

In this second stage of the plot, Tengah and his inner circle are said to have been working covertly to win over key officials, who will be recommending nominations to Taib and Najib for the candidate list

A number of Federal MPs are also said to have been won over to the movement already.  These will be supported by the officials, but those who are regarded as Taib loyalists will be undermined by poor reports about their performance. Rivals who are pledged to Tengah will be written up as popular and effective members of their constituencies.

Monster mansion – now completed Tengah's new house has apparently provided the central meeting point for the BN plotters.

The inner circle who are running this alleged conspiracy are named as being Subuyau State Assemblyman, Julaihi Narawi; Taib's Political Secretary, Abdullah Saidol; Tengah's favoured candidate for Batang Lupar, Awang Jamuddin Awang Kon; the Executive Secretary of PBB, Awang Bujang Awang Antek; Tengah's preferred candidate for Sibuti, Pandi Suhaili and Radin Kadri, who has been rounding up a militant 'Youth Wing' of the party, financed by Tengah.

This group meets regularly either at the Sarawak Golf Club or at Tengah's plush new mansion, which was financed by the rewards of his position as Second Planning Minister.

An inside source from Tengah's camp has further informed that the Chief Political Secretary, Abdullah Saidol meets up with Taib's Senior Private Secretary, Mustapa Han everyday in the CM's office to liaise on the progress of the plan.  Han has also been named as a key Taib insider, who has allegedly been won over to the plotters group.

"This is the first time in Chief Minister's era that the Chief Political Secretary and Senior Private Secretary have met up everyday which has never been done by the previous predecessors" [Taib supporter]

 

The list!

Moneybags – brother Awang Damit is allegedly distributing the cash behind the plot

The whistleblowers have even supplied Sarawak Report with a full detailed list of Tengah loyalists and the BN constituencies in which they hope to be able to secure nominations as Federal candidates.

The list (below) shows how most of BN's Dayak seats are now being fought over by these ferocious rival camps within the same party.

The disgruntled PRS leader, the 'Land Snatch Minister' James Masing, is said to have firmly moved into the Tengah camp.  The other BN coalition parties, SUPP and SPDP are also riven with rivalries.

The financing of this campaign of disloyalty is allegedly being carried out through Tengah's own trusted brother, Awang Damit.

Since no one does anything except for money in the corrupted culture of BN, Tengah appears to be operating on the basis of using the immense money and power that his position as Planning Minister has provided with him to undermine his once trusting boss the Chief Minister himself.

Son and Father

Posted: 08 Mar 2013 05:15 PM PST



Today I decided that on gender equality, I have a post  on 'Son and Father'.

But I want to be t'ng kooi again, wakakaka, and so to motivate you to read it, I'll start off with wonderful SEX.

The wonderfully s-exciting thing about Malaysian politics is that there's always X-rated sex in it, wakakaka.


Dr Mahathir once wanted (no, not the topic word, wakakaka) Malaysia to have a population of 70 million, a publicly voiced but informal announcement which set many railing against his proposal, as they have railed against all of his proposals or assertions since he retired, wakakaka.

Anway, regarding his 70 million population proposal, I imagined he must have looked around and saw almost every ASEAN nation has more or less that population size, eg:

Myanmar - 63 million
Thailand - 64 million
Vietnam - 90 million
Philippines - 96 million (hello, been Dahil Sa'yo*-ing too much? wakakaka)

* meaning 'because of you', probably Philippines most popular song

Malaysia with its current 30 million is comparatively puny, but I had suspected (still do) that he wanted a population of 70 million not so much for defence resilience or showing the population biceps only, but rather more for the economic viability and independence that comes with domestic consumption and also the human resource potential to produce/export cheaply like China, Thailand and now emerging Vietnam.

Then, he would have also seen those economic power houses such as France, Britain, Italy (each mid 60 million), Germany (82 million), Spain (47 million) and most remarkable South Korea (50+ million).

apart from heavy technology & construction, Samsung, Korea exports its wonderful k-pop

Thus he must have reckoned 70 million population would be comfy gnam gnam to make his Malaysia economically strong(er).

Known as a rather impatient man who, despite being a medical doctor and should have known the time span required for human gestations and stuff like multiplication and arithmetic progression, or precisely because of that, some have suggested that he must have decided to kick start the process to achieve his 70 million dream with devolved IVF-ing, wakakaka, by having eggs fertilised in neighbouring countries and the results force-fed with tempeh and jamu pasak bumi, and also balut and bayag ng baka (wakakaka) into instant adulthood before receiving them warmly with open arms and a blue IC.

our new and instant citizens

But that's only a temporary (kick start) measure, where he must have expected every Malaysian or rather Malay in the meantime to do his/her (beyond the call of) 'duty' wakakaka to achieve the target 70 million.

Presumably in the name of Malay-Muslim unity, PAS did try to support the bangsa and negara call, more so when the means towards that has been certified halal by agama, by supporting an innovative proposal in 2006, the Islamic misyar marriage, for sexual gratification for divorced women who lacked the Islamic legal means to attain the gratification.

Now, we must be clear that (in 2006) all these were directly driven NOT by Dr Mahathir, but by a PAS politician, Abdul Fatah Harun, the 'honourable' (wakakaka) PAS member for Rantau Panjang, who told the Dewan Rakyat in 2006 that "If we see women who don't have husbands and are divorced not because their husbands are dead, (it must be because) they are 'gatal sikit'".


Wow, such a succinct analysis - naturally by a PAS pollie, wakakaka.

And with Prof Mahmud Zuhdi Abdul Majid's brilliant proposal of misyar marriages as a solution to the equally brilliant analysis of divorcees who were 'gatal sikit', none other than Pak Haji Nik Aziz gave his personal stamp of approval for the sexual panacea.

Oh, how sex drives us Malaysians even in our socio-politico-religious decisions.

But then, spoilsports such as Prof Madya Harlina Halizah and Siraj and IKIM director Dr Syed Ali Tawfik Al-Attas put a damper on misyar marriages, misconceived as a Islam-sanctioned path to recreational sex for what a former PAS politician deemed as women who were 'gatal sikit'.

Who are the dogs of war in Sabah?

Posted: 08 Mar 2013 11:18 AM PST

War, like football, is politics taken to extremes. The bloodshed in eastern Sabah was caused by two factors: Umno's outdated racial politics and Filipino politics in the form of decades of Manila's neglect of the Muslim south.

Therefore, a resolution can only be found politically, as a Malaysiakini writer has pointed out.

The Tausug or Sulu claim to Sabah has fanned patriotic rage among unquestioning Malaysians and Filipinos. But the intention of the self-styled Royal Sulu Army, essentially a few boatloads of bandits, cannot conceivably be to claim Sabah by force.

NONE

The invaders have manufactured a crisis to highlight their wish to be involved in the ongoing peace talks between Manila and the Moro Islamic Libertion Force (MILF), with Malaysian mediation.

Negotiations between the Philippine and Malaysian governments have excluded the Sulu sultan, as well as the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), the armed group from which the MILF broke off in 1978.

The Sulu sultan and his small, shabby force are jockeying frantically for position in a proposed autonomous regional authority in the southern Philippines. Such an authority would be endowed with substantial natural resources, and plenty of opportunities for patronage, if peace eventually breaks out, as news network Al-Jazeera has pointed out.

Umno leaders have entangled themselves as mediators in our neighbours' civil wars, in Mindanao and Sulu, in southern Thailand, and formerly in Aceh.

Despite reports of successive Umno administrations supplying arms to Muslim insurgents in these flashpoints, our government has remained blasé about its lack of objectivity and credibility, and has continued to wade into negotiations between warring parties.

This Umno-led effort is clearly making a grand show of Muslim solidarity, in a desperate attempt to secure Malay-Muslim votes in the peninsula, as well as Muslim Filipino and Indonesian migrants' votes in Sabah.

Umno's botched attempt at brokering a peace deal in the southern Philippines has cost us heavily: hundreds of Sabahan villagers along the east coast have been made refugees, eight (or more) policemen have lost their lives, and Sabah has been drawn ever deeper into the conflict in the southern Philippines.

Umno's legacy of lawlessness in Sabah

This Sulu Army incursion is only the latest in a series of armed raids. Sabah has been invaded repeatedly for 20 years by pirates, also described as "insurgents", from Mindanao and adjacent islands.

sipadan island 130407 beautifulAbu Sayyaf, another MNLF splinter group, kidnapped 23 tourists and employees from the Sipadan diving resort in 2000. Armed men blocked off the main street of Lahad Datu in 1985, in a scene reminscent of the Western film The Wild Bunch, and robbed a bank.

Last November, two men surnamed Tung, 33, and 25, the son and nephew of a plantation owner, were taken at gunpoint from Lahad Datu by Muslim rebels from the southern Philippines, a kidnapping that remains unsolved, and a crime that has caused fear and anger among Sabahan voters.

There has been another, less dramatic, invasion, too. Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad effectively took down the already porous border between Sabah and the Philippines in the 1990s. Mahathir flooded Sabah with immigrants from the southern Philippines by issuing blue identity cards to Muslim migrants.

Government officers have testified before the Sabah royal commission of inquiry into immigrants that these ICs were awarded in exchange for votes for BN. "Project IC" was a cynical – and successful – attempt to overthrow the elected state government of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS).

PBS was BN's opponent in those years, a party led by non-Muslims. Meanwhile, non-Muslim Sarawakian and Sabahan natives have been, to this day, denied their MyKad and votes.

Umno's ministers appear lost

Prime Minster Najib Abdul Razak did not visit Sabah in the three weeks since the invasion of the "Royal Sulu Army" on Feb 9, until March 7. Najib has made his priorities clear. With an unpredicatable general election in the offing, he is campaigning to save his political life, and the life of luxury shared by his courtiers.

NONEOn March 4, the morning Najib ordered in warplanes to bomb in the vicinity of the Sulu combatants, he was not in Sabah. He was cajoling a Bukit Jalil rally of 16,000, described by official news agencyBernama as a "gathering of Muslims, including Islamic scholars and leaders", to vote for BN.

"We are unwavering in the matter of the word 'Allah'. The government of today will defend the use of the word," Najib said, asserting the BN's commitment to denying non-Muslims the use of the word "Allah", even though this laughable ban has been lifted by the High Court.

The government's court appeal has been postponed: Najib is treading a fine line between drumming up religious fervour among rural Muslim Malays, his priceless vote bank, and inflaming three quarters of a million Christian voters in Sarawak and Sabah.

On the same day as the warplanes' aerial display appeared to kill no combatants, the office of the secretariat of the coalition advocating clean elections, Bersih 2.0, was broken into, and cameras and mobile telephones taken.

Both stories would have received far more attention on a usual news day, but the Sabah news helped them slip under the radar.

Thanks to a near-blackout on official news, conspiracy theories are rife.

Tan Sri Musa alat Mahathir untuk menekan Najib?

Posted: 08 Mar 2013 11:03 AM PST

Tan Sri Musa Hassan telah turut mendedahkan bahawa Tan Sri Robert Phang telah bertindak mengugut Pegawai Polis iaitu sekiranya projek tersebut tidak diluluskan, Pegawai Polis tersebut akan ditukarkan 24 jam.

Tindakan Tan Sri Robert Phang adalah merupakan satu tindakan jenayah yang tidak boleh dipandang ringan apabila seorang awam telah bertindak mengugut penjawat awam .
Turut sama terlibat dalam kes tersebut ialah Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Ismail Omar telah melakukan rasuah salahguna kuasa mengarahkan Pegawai Polis tersebut  untuk menandatangani komisyen bagi memenuhi arahan Tan Sri Robert Phang.
Kerana Pegawai Polis tersebut terus gagal mengikut arahan Tan Sri Ismail Omar dan Tan Sri Robert Phang , akibatnya pegawai tersebut ditukar 24 jam dan diganti dengan pegawai baru yang menandatangani surat kelulusan tersebut sedangkan sepertimana pendedahan Tan Sri Musa Hassan projek komunikasi tersebut masih gagal siap sepenuhnya.
Tindakan Tan Sri Robert Phang dan Tan Sri Ismail Omar adalah merupakan satu tindakan jenayah yang amat serius dan sebagai warganegara yang bertanggungjawab dan bekas Ketua Polis Negara , Tan Sri Musa Hassan lebih memahami dan menguasai undang-undang negara .
Beliau yang mempunyai maklumat yang cukup lengkap untuk melakukan tindakan yang sewajarnya lebih-lebih lagi ianya melibatkan dana awam bernilai ratusan juta ringgit iaitu projek komunikasi Motorola dari sistem analog ke digital PDRM.
Projek itu disubkontrakkan kepada syarikat bernama Asiasoft Malaysia. Dua pemegang saham dalam syarikat berkenaan ialah B System Sdn Bhd dan Asiasoft PLC. Asiasoft PLC didaftar di Singapura, dikuasai oleh Asiasoft Global PLC yang berpangkalan di Israel.
Ramai tertanya - tanya mengapa tiba - tiba Musa Hassan muncul. Dia sendiri terpalit banyak dakwaan salah guna kuasa ketika bertugas. che'GuBard sendiri satu ketika pernah mengusung dan mendedahkan wujud akuan bersumpah oleh pegawai tinggi polis yang mengaitkan Musa Hassan dengan kegiatan kongsi gelap yang dilindungi, namun kes tersebut terus tutup dan tidak di siasat.

The political assassination of Nurul Izzah

Puteri Reformasi Gunung Ledang

In a previous post titled Puteri Gunung Ledang's 8th condition?, my take on Malay unity, I had written of PKR's internal strife which started long ago. For my extracts to follow, I'll only start off from the last PKR party polls when we witnessed questionable and still unanswered party election process (reformasi my bloody foot!), as follows:

Since its last party elections, PKR in reality has been a house divided, very very much divided. Jonson Chong (admittedly not a Malay-Muslim) like Zaid Ibrahim left PKR in frustration over the alleged dodgy-ness in the party election process, and in parting, advised Dr Wan Azizah:

"If the president still does not take some serious action to remedy this situation, then I'm afraid the party's days may be numbered with or without a new line-up. And let me unequivocally state that I am not addressing the de facto leader on this matter because I no longer recognize the validity of that position."

That PKR internal rivalry hasn't ended where we currently hear of Team A (headed by Azmin Ali and 101% back by Anwar Ibrahim – the team comprises PKR's 'inner coterie') in acrimonious rivalry with Team W (headed by Wan Azizah – the team has Nurul, Khalid Ibrahim, Faekah Husin, etc).


See also my post Talam - DAP & PAS rescue a PKR MB while PKR act dunno. It's rumoured that Khalid Ibrahim doesn't even know where he stands (literally) in the coming state election. And we read of Azmin Ali (not Wan Azizah herself) informing us that Wan Azizah won't be standing even as a candidate in GE-13, not even for a state seat - for more, read FMT's Wan Azizah tidak bertanding PRU13.

Where's the party unity, let alone Malay unity?

If you recall what happened before Zaid Ibrahim finally threw in the towel in exasperation, then you'd understand the vipers' nest that's PKR. If you can't, then feel free to read my posts:


In the last post I wrote:


In spite of my hero Karpal Singh condemning Zaid, I have written in support of the latter – see my previous post Zaid Ibrahim - suffers no fool gladly.

When he was in PKR at the time leading to the party polls (before he tossed his hat into the election ring) Zaid Ibrahim was criticized for being erratic because one moment he said he would not challenge the deputy presidential post IF (initially) Nurul Izaah took up the challenge*, then IF (subsequently) Khalid Ibrahim did so, and the next (when both didn't  he took up the challenge.

* Azmin Ali went into a panicky tizzy when Nurul casually mentioned her interests, and 'advised' Nurul against it because people would talk. Bet you Anwar had a few private words with Nurul

The standard anwaristas' cries against Zaid Ibrahim were his inconsistencies (in supporting Nurul, then Khalid, before standing as a candidate himself), and their accusations unimaginatively attacked Zaid for his lust for power.

But I didn't see any inconsistency in Zaid's manoeuvrings. In fact there was a very consistent objective in his support for firstly, Nurul, and subsequently for Khalid Ibrahim, before he personally challenged Azmin Ali in the party election.

That objective was to prevent Azmin Ali from coasting home on an Anwar-provided free ticket into the deputy president post. He wanted Azmin Ali stopped!

Now, on to RPK's question as reported by FMT:
