"Rock of Gibraltar" Justice: "... Unless the Contrary is Proved"

Looks like the Bolehland LAZY, mindless and bungling justice system has found a solution for their inefficiency and lack of grey-matter. 

What is the solution?
Yes... you guessed it, friend- You can now be "PRESUMED GUILTY" until you can prove your innocence!!
(and why does it stink of a "great mamak" to me?)

I'd call this the Augustine Paul's "Rock of Gibraltar" solution.
It all comes back to me now .....
Now we know why not so long ago,
the mattress went up & down the court house, 
people got sodomized in a non-existent condo and 
"Justice" Augustine Paul can pronounce people guilty becos ....
the accused had "failed to prove his innocence" in "Sodomy-I".
That is, he was presumed guilty- "unless the contrary was proved".
So NOW, whatever crappy "evidence" the police uses against you 
is deemed the indisputable "proof of guilt"- until you prove them wrong. 
The police need to do nothing more. 
The Attorney General's Chambers need to do nothing. 
NOW YOU DO THE INVESTIGATION 
TO ESCAPE PUNISHMENT, YOU "PROLE"!!

So much for our "First-class Democracy" which the PM spits out eh?
I just "love" UMNO's justice system!!

Guilty! 
Go directly to JAIL. 
Do not pass Go. 
Do not collect $200

There is a piece of very scary news on the front page of The Sun today. It is titled "Presumed guilty" and is about the recent amendment (No.2) to the Evidence Act.

Doesn't mean anything to you? Not worth bothering about? You could be in for a rude shock. If you have a blog, use Facebook or just have a broadband WiFi account you could land in big trouble.
If "someone posts content said to be offensive on your Facebook wall, or if someone piggybacks your WiFi account and uploads a controversial document, you will be immediately deemed the publisher of the content and subject to prosecution under the relevant laws such as the Sedition Act."
For more, go to "Niamah!!!"


********************************

This is what The Sun Says:-

"Not only that, if a person starts a blog in your name and publishes content that is red-flagged, you will be considered the publisher unless you can prove otherwise.
All of this is provided for through the insertion of Section 114A into the Act which was recently bulldozed through both houses of Parliament in its last meeting with no debate.
Section 114A, which explains presumption of fact in publication, states:
– a person whose name, photograph or pseudonym appears on any publication depicting himself as the owner, host, administrator, editor or sub-editor, or who in any manner facilitates to publish or re-publish the publication is presumed to have published or re-published the contents of the publication 
unless the contrary is proved.
– a person who is registered with a network service provider as a subscriber of a network service on which any publication originates from is presumed to be the person who published or re-published the publication 
unless the contrary is proved.
– Any person who has in his custody or control any computer on which any publication originates from is presumed to have published or re-published the content of the publication 
unless the contrary is proved
(Computer here means any data processing device, including tablets, laptops and mobile phones.)
Kuala Lumpur Bar Information Technology Committee co-chairman Foong Cheng Leong told theSun these amendments would put fear in people.
“We shouldn’t even be discussing this law because it is based on the idea that one is presumed being guilty until proven innocent.
“Why does the owner of a site, or Facebook account, have to take the rap and prove his innocence while being subject to investigation and seizure of property?” he asked.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz, while winding up the Bill in Parliament on April 18, had said the use of pseudonyms and anonymity by any party to commit cyber crimes made it difficult for action to be taken against them.
Hence, he said the Evidence Act 1950 had to be amended to address the issue of internet anonymity."

"O' Malays"- Dr. Azly Rahman

"In contrast Umno’s 500-odd ceramah attendance degenerated 
into a verbal shouting match as its star speaker Ummi Hafilda Ali 
screamed verbal abuse each time Anwar or any PR leader spoke.
 “Anwar is al-juburi He is pro-Jewish He is the father of womanisers ”, shouted
 the woman whose complaint led to Anwar’s first sodomy trial 
as she tried to drown the former deputy prime minister’s speech. 
This prompted Anwar to say,
 “We want to win the elections not by insulting people but by rule of law"."

O' Malays
by Dr. Azly Rahman
O' Malay essentially
what hath wrought and possess'd your consciousness ?
How hath your education failed you?
How have you descended to the glorification of ignorance?
Is this not about helping the next generation to be more civil?
Do know what knowledge is ?
and what it is not?

O' Malays essentially
wake up
smell the fragrance of the chains around your neck
chains of your feudal past
chains of those who giveth salams to others
but grateful that the oppressed from the past
hath now become the oppressor
their army boots of patriotism on the head of fellowmen and women
pinning the future to the ground
chanting
chanting
mantras of race
and religion
Into the Forest of the Subconsciosus you must now be banished
so that the spirit of love and wisdom inside of you
can be healed

O' Malays
heal you must
and wake up
to a new world
wherein the Oppressed that hath become the Oppressor
amongst you
can be buried
with love
with peace
with salams
and chants of of a new hope

O' Malays essentially
you shall overcome
the enemy
within you ..

Really Muhyiddin? Explain this!

KUALA LUMPUR May 17 — Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin insisted today that the federal government had already bowed to Bersih 2.0's demands but merely failed to adequately explain it to voters.

Tak boleh mengundi, nombor IC 'dicuri'

Harakahdaily,17 Mei 2012
BATU GAJAH: Seorang wanita mendakwa dirinya hilang kelayakan mengundi apabila semakan di web Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Malaysia menunjukkan nombor kad pengenalannya dimiliki pihak lain.

Ketika membuat semakan, Puan Tamil Malar yang memiliki no kad pengenalan biru 750516-08-5360 terkejut apabila namanya tidak keluar tetapi yang dipapar adalah nama seorang lelaki Mansor Bin Jali.

Puan Tamil Malar menetap di DUN Tronoh, Parlimen Batu Gajah, Perak namun dalam semakan menggunakan no kad pengenalannya itu memaparkan beliu adalah pengundi di DUN Ayer Limau, Parlimen Masjid Tanah, Melaka.

Sementara itu, Adun Tronoh V.Sivakumar berkata, pihaknya hairan dengan kes yang berlaku itu sedangkan daftar pemilih dibuat Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) perlu disemak dengan Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN).

"Terbukti  ada unsur-unsur  penipuan dalam pendaftaran pemilih.

"Saya memohon kepada Pengerusi SPR Malaysia untuk memberi penjelasan mengenai hal ini dengan segera," katanya dalam satu kenyataan kepada Harakahdaily.

Menurut Sivakumar lagi, pihaknya kini sedang giat megesan 'pengundi hantu' yang mungkin wujud di Dun itu.

"Kami sedang membuat operasi  ‘Ghost Busters’ di DUN Tronoh dan dalam operasi ini kami berjaya megesan satu kes penipuan yang sangat nyata," katanya merujuk kepada kes Puan Tamil Malar itu.

BAN Bad Owners- Not Dogs!


Lessons From My Rottie



I WAS in my car with my one-year old Doberman Zhar, last week, when I heard the horrid news.


My service canine companion, who accompanies me almost everywhere when I drive, and I were visiting a good friend in Petaling Jaya when I received an urgent SMS.


Yes, it was the one about the dog-mauling incident in Subang Jaya where an elderly jogger sadly lost his life as a result.


At first, the media put the pooch down as a “pit bull”.


Then, the truth came out later.
The breed was apparently a miniature bull terrier cross, they said – a dog listed by the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) here in Malaysia as a restricted breed.


What this means in simple English is that the bull terrier is not a dog for anyone and everyone.


Whilst expert overseas sources agree that the breed isn’t for first-time pet owners, they, however, are quick to point out that these special terriers – once used as fighting dogs – possesses many positive characteristics.


Above all things they are said to be highly affectionate and friendly dogs with a wonderful sense of humour and relish company.


Bull terriers also have a physical strength that matches their supreme intelligence. They need to be kept active all the time.


With such enviable traits it is no wonder why bull terriers – together with pit bulls – today are increasingly being used as therapy and service dogs for the handicapped in overseas countries.


So what went wrong in the Subang Jaya incident?


There could be a number of reasons:
1) Unscrupulous breeding such as mating certain aggressive natured or shy (fear-biting) animals with each other.
2) Wrong training and trainer. I am told by experts that only dogs with a good temperament can be trained for guard and protection work; never fierce or unpredictable animals.
3) Irresponsible owner. Dogs should never be allowed outside its owners’ premises unleashed, let alone a “guard-trained” canine. The animal will be forced to make decisions by itself.



The Subang Jaya incident reminds me of the time in 1994 when another elderly person, a woman, was killed by a Rottweiler in Kuala Lumpur.


That incident, like the recent one, drew the same negative reactions.


Suddenly, everyone – including myself – was terrified of Rottweilers and thought of them as nothing but “killer dogs.”


My fear and prejudice was based on my total ignorance of the breed until I ended up with one a few years later.


It was quite by accident when I wheeled into a pet shop looking for a German Shepherd Dog and came out with a Rottweiler pup named Vai, because there was no other dog available.



I recall being terrified over my decision.


Many of my friends were no help either. They told me that Vai would either “have me for supper” or “pull me off my wheelchair” when we went for walks.


But it turned out to be the best “mistake” I had ever done in my life. Vai was the best prescription that any doctor could have given me to help me with my disability.


The so-called “killer dog” refused to see my handicap. He insisted on everything from me – from his meals, bath and going for walks.
So much so I had to stop feeling sorry for myself and get on with life for a Rottie-in-waiting.
And just like the many stereotypes that exist about people with disabilities, Vai helped me break all the myths about so-called “dangerous” and “ferocious” Rottweilers and other breeds when one cares enough to treat dogs right with plenty of time and affection.


Of course, Vai was fiercely loyal in taking care of me.


He would bare his fangs and growl whenever strangers approached me.


But at the same time, within moments, he would be licking them all over the face when he realised they had no intention of harming me.


I used to take advantage of this godsend protection to go wheeling with him in my nearby park at 2am in the morning.


Anyone who uses a wheelchair will know how exhilarating such a “freedom exercise” can be when you are stuck in a wheelchair.
And there were a couple of times when I was confronted by some bullies on the road in my car for keeping to my speed limit as a disabled driver.


I wish you could’ve seen the looks on their faces and how quickly they took off when they suddenly noticed a huge black and rust coloured “bear” emerge from the back seat to have a clearer look at the situation.


Vai died a couple of years ago of cancer at age 13. Now it’s Zhar’s turn to play guardian in my life – something the remarkable Dobie (another target of stereotypes) is managing with flying colours.


And let me say this in parting, that in more than a decade of having my dogs and looking after them solely in my wheelchair, never once have my dogs walked on the streets or neighbourhood without me by their side and keeping them close on a leash.


To the able-bodied pet lovers out there, what’s your excuse?

"Me thinks the lady doth protest too much,"


Tunku Aziz - patricians can't last in partisan politics
COMMENT "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

This remark attributed to US president Harry Truman is famously evocative of the pressures a politician must face if his or her mettle is to be deemed strong enough to withstand the rigours of such a life.

NONEBy those standards Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim (right), the DAP vice-chairperson who resigned his post on Monday over issues stemming from his criticism of the Bersih 3.0 protest, has been found wanting.

His decision to quit the party, after a brief four years as a member and coming as it does in the immediate prelude to a general election, will cause a minor dent in the DAP's public image but would provide its adversaries with an expedient weapon with which to beat it.

This weapon will not be as potent as the one the resignation of Lee Lam Thye from the DAP in October 1990 gave the party's adversaries on the eve of another general election at that time.

Then the MP for Kuala Lumpur Bandar (now Bukit Bintang), Lee's leaving the DAP was widely seen by the public as a reflection of the brusque ethos of a party considered inhospitable to politicians of his rounded edges and benign image.

By 1990, Lee was a longstanding and popular MP whose non-confrontational approach was seen as attractive enough to draw Malay support to him individually, if not his party.

That approach was seen as the antithesis of secretary-general Lim Kit Siang's which was considered far too aggressive to win for the DAP broad support across the divides in a racially stratified country.

So when Lee quit the DAP in an tearful announcement that was given front-page play in the BN-controlled mainstream media (this was in the days well before the inception of the Internet), there was no way discerning members of the public could appraise the real motives behind the very public saga of his resignation.

Those motives have not worn well in the intervening years; in fact, it is Kit Siang's image over time that has gained rather than Lam Thye's by reason of the former's adhesion to the ideal of a durable and principled opposition, an ideal now poised on the verge of national vindication by an awakened electorate.

vk lingam judge tape panel report 061107 lee lam thyeThis is a reversal of what obtained in the public arena at the time of Lam Thye's quitting of the DAP more than two decades ago.

Then Lam Thye (right) was seen as a victim who could no longer take his unjust deserts in the party and Kit Siang as seen as an ogre bent on autocratic control, intolerant of internal dissent and alternative styles in opposing the BN.

There was no way in 1990 to see if there were gaps between reality and appearance, and so a public pummeled by BN propaganda had to be satisfied with what the media-fed images of the internecine feuding in the DAP and what it had wrought in respect of its latest casualty.

Fortunately, this is not now the case with the resignation of Tunku Abdul Aziz from the DAP.
The more open, Internet-fed, political atmosphere that obtains these days makes it easier to assess his actions and his motives.

The rise of Tunku Aziz

Tunku Aziz came to public prominence in the interregnum between Dr Mahathir Mohamad's announcement of his intention to retire as prime minister in June 2002 and successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's assumption of the office 16 months later.

During that period, Tunku Aziz was not infrequently in the news as head of the Malaysian chapter of Transparency International (TI-M), an NGO focused on promoting greater accountability and transparency in the public and private sectors, particularly in procurement procedures.

mahathir in heart institute ijn 091106 abdullah ahmad badawi pak lahHe used his role as TI-M head to expatiate on the dire need for a corruption-free civil service which gave his emergence in the public arena as an anti-corruption crusader and the early emanations of the themes of an Abdullah (right) premiership - it signaled it would be against graft - a nice symmetry.

Not surprisingly, he was named in December 2003 to the royal commission on the management and conduct of the police force, the first and most striking anti-corruption measure taken by the newly-installed Abdullah administration.

The commission was composed of public figures of vaunted credibility but when nothing was done about the report it published after a 15-month gestation, Tunku Aziz did not suffer any dent to his credibility though he was the source of a story during the period of the commission's sitting that one police officer had accumulated assets worth RM27 million, a vignette that reinforced widespread public perception of the force as graft-ridden.

NONETunku Aziz's public stature continued to rise despite the mothballing of the royal commission's report; the anti-corruption currents loosed in the public arena were strong enough to propel the career of this crusader against graft to heights that transcended domestic, politically-driven, constraints.

He was appointed a special advisor to UN secretary-general Kofi Annan on transparency and public accountability for a year from early 2006.

Not since famed lawyer R Ramani was president of the UN Security Council for a year in the 1960s had a Malaysian been raised to such prominence by the august international body.

After he returned from the UN, Tunku Aziz continued to use public forums and newspaper columns in Malaysia not only to inveigh against corruption but also to hold forth on the state of the national polity.

In July 2008, he uncharacteristically departed from the non-partisan stance he tended to take on public affairs by telling Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim to submit his DNA sample to the police for testing in regard to the second case of sodomy that was being preferred against him.

It was a strange call, coming from a man who had sat on a commission that inquired into turpitude in the police force, a panel whose recommendations were stiff-armed by a cabal of senior officers determined to show that bureaucratic will can override political fiat.

Lone ranger stance on Bersih rally

Shortly after his egregious call to Anwar to submit his DNA sample, Tunku Aziz plunged into the partisan political fray by joining the DAP.

The party welcomed him with glee as evidence that it could draw to its ranks prominent Malays, though Tunku Aziz was far too anglophile a personality to be a magnet for Malays to join the DAP. He would later admit that he had failed in the goal of getting more Malays to join the party.

Soon an appointment to the Senate from Penang came, a role which afforded him additional prominence for his broadsides on graft in the public sphere.

PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim pkr fund raising dinner 1However, his blithe indifference to subterranean realities, exhibited in his call to Anwar (right) to submit his DNA sample, soon got him on the controversial side of things when he criticised electoral reform advocacy group, Bersih, for wanting to stage its protest at the Dataran Merdeka.

Publicly chastised by the party, Tunku Aziz remained unfazed by the controversy generated by his lone ranger stance on the Bersih protest.

He went on to criticise Bersih for allegedly pretending to be free of responsibility for the violence that marred the tail end of their April 28 protest.

His term as senator was allowed to lapse and the DAP disciplinary board shaped to take action against him for bringing the party into public disrepute.

But before action could be taken, Tunku Aziz rendered the issue moot yesterday by quitting the party.

"Me thinks the lady doth protest too much," a character in a Shakespeare play remarks about another person's affectations about her virtue.

The remark (with alterations for gender) could be applied to Tunku Aziz in his attempt to take a principled stance on matters where one party makes a pretense of adhering to principle merely to bamboozle its antagonist into submission.

In other words, the rules that apply to fault-fixing in cases involving graft are not easily transposable to the political arena.

A temperament that cares little for these nuances would necessarily be discomfited by the heat of the partisan fray.

TERENCE NETTO has been a journalist for close on four decades. He likes the occupation because it puts him in contact with the eminent without being under the necessity to admire them. It is the ideal occupation for a temperament that finds power fascinating and its exercise abhorrent.

Doesn't matter if you were a Saint, Hanif- YOU ARE disqualified by your prejudice!!


Former inspector-general of police (IGP) Hanif Omar has urged his critics to check his track record in previous investigating committees before questioning his integrity to lead the independent panel to probe police brutality during Bersih 3.0 rally.

=====================================================

Bar Council: Ex-IGP unfit to lead panel

G Vinod
 | May 11, 2012
The Bar Council president Lim Chee Wee says the former IGP disqualified himself by calling some of the Bersih 3.0 protesters communists.
FMT ALERT
KUALA LUMPUR: The Bar Council said former inspector- general of police Hanif Omar is not suitable to head the independent panel to probe the police violence that took place during the Bersih 3.0 rally.
Speaking at a press conference after chairing the Bar Council’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM) today, its president Lim Chee Wee said Hanif disqualified himself by taking a stand against Bersih 3.0 earlier.
“It’s unfortunate that the former IGP referred to some of the protesters as communists,” he added.
On April 28, tens of thousands marched in the nation’s capital but the rally was marred with reports of police assaulting scores of protesters and journalists.
Subsequently, Hanif reportedly told the media that some of the demonstrators were communists as he recognised their faces.

What next? "Dracula to Audit the Blood Bank"?

*******************************
"It will not do to cling to the cause 
and wish the result away.
Reality does not play mind games.

What is more, to anesthetize the mind 
in order to abort what comes to birth-
when wrong ideas are conceived 
and borne in the womb of culture,
will only kill the very life-giving force 
of the nation that nurtures the idea."
- Ravi Zacharias

***************************************

Some may wonder why I don't write as I used to anymore ...
It is just that we don't need any arguments against the mindless UMNO hordes- for they themselves, are the arguments against themselves (hope that makes sense). Their actions speak for themselves ... Res ipsa loquitur.

Lately, true to the UMNO style- they have picked our beloved ex-IGP, Hanif Omar, to lead an "independent" panel of experts into the BERSIH inquiry. I can only imagine that it was in line with the advice of another dinosaur called Mahathir ...


Incidentally, this dinosaur (who lives in a long extinct time & space), had made it quite clear he is of opinion that the opinion that Communists were behind BERSIH 3.0. He reportedly told Bernama (the UMNO mouthpiece), "I recognise from the photos and broadcast images (taken from the rally), the pro-communist people who were involved in the 1970s demonstrations."
And you, Hanif- If you had/have any sense of integrity, you would withdraw from the panel of inquiry. You in your old age ... have you lost all sense of shame too? 


UMNO, oh UMNO .... They just don't care what the people or the world think of them- they just do whatever pleases them. Just when we think they have reached the abyss of shamelessness- they prove us wrong.

The UMNO regime bears all the hallmarks of a decadent regime crumbling . They are being given all the opportunities to  reform themselves- but like a drug-addict in cold-turkey, they just crave for more of their self-destructive habit/ behavior.
The way I look at it, for better or worse, it is only a matter of time before they come crashing down.

It has been said that "He who closes his ears to the views of others shows little confidence in the integrity of his own views"
And then they wonder why people want them out ....

YOURSAY 'Hanif Omar thinks there are communists in Bersih 3.0 which he says was a coup attempt. He is also a former cop. How independent can this panel be?'

Ex-IGP Hanif Omar leads Bersih 3.0 probe panel

your sayKairos: The whole exercise of the 'independent panel' is a whitewash. The head of the panel, former inspector-general of police Hanif Omar, has certainly disqualified himself by his recent comments that the purpose of the Bersih rally was to topple the government.

Mushiro: By appointing Hanif to head this commission, it shows that Najib is not bothered about public perception and is not bothered about wanting to be seen to be fair.

Quigonbond: I'm fell off my chair being totally impressed with the "independent panel". Sin Chew legal head and Sinar Harian editor wouldn't give an independent analysis of events because there is still a licence revocation fear hanging overhead .....
And the head of the panel himself, who's just fresh from accusing Bersih 3.0 of attempting to overthrow the government, is surely the most qualified, having vested interest being deputy chairman of a casino company.

Tidakboleh: The finding is a foregone conclusion - Hanif will conclude that his original suspicion (from a vantage point in the Genting Casino) that communists of the 1970s era have infiltrated the movement is true.
His recommendation will be to declare a state of emergency, dissolve Parliament and the country to be ruled by NOC II (National Operations Council II), headed by none other than Najib, with Dr Mahathir Mohamad as adviser.

Kangaroo: Witnesses should boycott the panel headed by Hanif as he has made biased statements against Bersih.

1Mockery: Hanif to head the "independent" panel - this is a mockery.
Please include some politicians too - Zulkifli Nordin, Hasan Ali, don't forget Ibrahim Ali. They will be the world's best independent panel in the world's best ‘democrazy'.

AkuDahUbah: One word sums it all up, credibility. After his outburst regarding the communists in Bersih, and his implicit support for the harsh police crackdown, what credibility does this man have?

Masturbation, PDRM? Oh boy- what a Low Down Dirty Shame!!


Student arrested during Bersih 3.0 asked by cops if he masturbates

UPDATED @ 05:34:31 PM 08-05-2012
May 08, 2012
Lawyers for student activist Khalid Ismath today expressed “shock” over the interrogation tactics used by the authorities. — file pic
KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 — A student arrested for alleged acts of violence during the Bersih 3.0 rally was allegedly asked by police while under detention whether he masturbated or was involved in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LBGT) activities.
Lawyers for student activist Khalid Ismath, who was arrested for allegedly kicking a policeman during the Bersih 3.0 rally, today expressed “shock” over the interrogation tactics used by the authorities on Khalid, “who had willingly surrendered to the police to assist investigation”.
“Khalid was asked many times if he likes to masturbate,” Latheefa told a press conference at the PKR headquarters here today.
“They also asked him if he was involved in LGBT activities, why he was on Facebook as it belonged to a Jew, and why he was paying so much for his Internet bills as the money was being contributed to Jews,” she added.
She stressed these questions had nothing to do with ongoing investigations into the alleged violence and were instead similar to questions posed to detainees under the now-abolished ISA (Internal Security Act).
“What have these things got to do with the reason why he was arrested?” she asked.
Latheefa said the questions were a form of “sexual harassment” and also claimed that Khalid was tortured while under detention.
“When Khalid was in detention, he was kept in a cold room with the air-conditioner and fan turned on. This was a way to pressure him. It’s a form of torture,” the fiery lawyer said.
Her colleague N. Surendran also alleged that the ongoing investigation into Bersih “is not actually a genuine investigation”.
“It is a political propaganda investigation in order to further the agenda of Umno and Barisan Nasional,” Surendran, who is also PKR vice-president, said.
“The police are being manipulated, used, with the agreement of the top police leadership to carry out political investigations against innocent civilians, citizens who were participants in Bersih 3.0,” he added, likening the interrogation tactics used on Khalid to “terror tactics used in Syria by Assad’s forces”.
“Their intention is to frighten people so they can no longer gather peacefully outside, question the government and put fear in those who were brave enough to peacefully gather in the city on April 28.”

Desi Replies:- RPK, you are still a LIAR and a COWARD! No wonder, Umno took you in!

RPK, you are still a LIAR and a COWARD! No wonder, Umno took you in!



I have stopped reading m2day for a few years now, especially after I faced-off with the fugitive blogger-owner living the high life in London; but sometimes secondary or third parties would bring Desi's attention to his current articles/fiction where he had mentioned Desi-Y:L Chong as part of a PKR complot against him.

Yesterday a close BUMmer kaki told me that the devil-in-disguise has again cited my name, alongside Malaysia Chronicle and its founder-editor Ms Wong Choon Mei. More seriously RPK continued with a sin in Islam greater than murder -- committing SLANDER (Membuat Fitnah) and character-assasination against an MP YB Tian Chua of Batu.

Let me go on record that I was a card-carrying member in PKR from January 2005; had also been a member in DAP the previous decades.

I DON'T OFFER any apologies for facing-off with the privileged blogger hydeing up in luxury living when I beg to differ with him strongly ON THE ISSUES, but now since he has been a BANKRUPT, he cares two hoots about DEFAMING PKR leaders with whom he once marched alongside to topple the evil BN-UMNO regime.

YES, we have been told for several years by RPK's statutory declaration that his well-informed sources claimed that ROSMAH MANSOR was at the scene of where Mongolian beauty-translator Altantuya Shaariibuu was murdered. Conveniently, years later, RPK spun a story ala-Arabian Nights that is to the effect: "No, it is not possible for a woman to go into the jungle in the middle of the night!"

Then the famous/notorious RPK gave a new meaning to the word GO-STAN by appearing on TV3 on the one hand saying he's still fighting for Change and a Better Malaysia, yet he constantly and viciously attacks Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim just before the Sarawak State Electons, and again on various mainstream media on New Year's Day 2012, focusing on all the weaknesses of Anwar again and PKR in general.

Do you think I was surprised? Well, read my article which led to his (RPK's) Declaration of War, and my calling him "a Liar and a Coward", the latter piece which drew no reaction at all from the "great RPK", a term coined aptly by MChronicle!
Also as to why the sudden RPK attack seems to be he was found out in this story  RPK, admit it: You're lying through your teeth to help Nong Chik beat Nurul in GE-13.
I would only reprise TWO OF MY POSTS later which are relevant to preliminary rebutting RPK's latest writing titledEpisode 30: A declaration of war,which I won't dignity with full reproduction, but if you think it worthw'ile, go to this LINK:

Let me first reproduce the THREE (3) "segments" in RPK's piece which I would comment on:

(1) So, Malaysia Chronicle a.k.a. Suara Tian Chua, do we continue? What more shall we talk about? Shall we talk about how Desi YL Chong was rejected by Malaysiakini and Free Malaysia Today before he joined Malaysia Chronicle to become a member of Tian Chua’s team? Shall we talk about how Wong Choon Mei was sacked from Malaysiakini for misconduct before she joined Malaysia Chronicle to become a member of Tian Chua’s team?

(2) Malaysia Chronicle, a.k.a. Suara Tian Chua, is basically Desi YL Chong, Wong Choon Mei and Tian Chua. This is the Chinese mafia in PKR that I talked about in an earlier article. Even DAP does not like this Chinese gang and many a conflict between DAP and PKR since 1999 was because of this PKR Chinese mafia. In fact, the DAP people just hate the PKR Chinese mafia and would rather negotiate with the Malays in PKR than with this Chinese gang.

(3) Shall we talk about the people Tian Chua sent to Korea for training on how to organise demonstrations so that the Bersih rallies can be turned into violent demonstrations like in Korea?
My rebuttals to the three points follow, --only where as far as YL Chong, the journalist in me, and as Desiderata, the BUMmer in me, normally signed off as "knottyaSsusual:) is concerned -- and my assessment of what FICTION RPK is continuing to churn out copiously after he was "turned over", -- for how much USD, pound sterling or RM (also short for Rosmah, what a coincidence in Malaysian history eh!):
* (1) Firstly, let me reiterate that I have been a freelance journalist-blogger for the past ten years; yes, I have been an Editorial Consultant prior to that period at Malaysiakini.com as its first News Editor. Yes, I served as Consultant Editor in the first five months at freemalaysiatoady.com from its gestation period into first three months.
But I also had served at two other online sites, for more than a year each at klsetracker.com and as inaugural news editor at cpiasia.net, for which I had given my best and I leave it to my peers who served with me to judge my record, NOT OUTSIDERS LIKE RPK AND HIS HARDCORE FANS (naming a few, Harris Ibrahim, Zorro, whisperer....I will add on more later, so Pateince OK!:)WHO RESORT OFTEN TO FOUR-LETTER RPK's  ROYAL&HALFBREEDLOUDMOUTH VOCAB LEARNT IN THE U.K. PUBS and OTHER DARK HOUSES OF PLEASURE TO CURSE AND SWEAR when they can't win a debate via reason and rational discourse.
** (2) I had also told off RPK that I am neither a shareholder or staff at Malaysia Chronicle, and the editor herself had put the record straight which RPK himself picked up for publication at m2day. However, may I just add YES, I AM A PROUD CONTRIBUTOR as a freeance journalist to MChronicle, SO WHAT? Digressing a bit/byte -- which is a Blogger's privilege to abuse, so why don't you get on board? --I  think Malaysia is STILL A FREE WORLD IN CYBER-SPACE, thanks to ex-PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad's MSC and its Bill of Guarantee ensuring NO CENSORSHIP OF THE INTERNET and that bungkling olde fool of Minister of Information and Communications and Culture who tries very hard to breach to please his UMNO he's beholden to and that Omnipotent Master-you-know-who!
"Me a Chinese mafia member, along with Choon Mei and Tian Chua, Yang Mulia RPK?" - RPK, thou giveth Desi too much credit, but I don't get that sort of credit you get as a turn-around sexpert. YES, you read right! -- "Sexpert" because this coward of a fugitive thrives on making innuendoes on his opponents' sex adventures with no solid foundation -- ala Datuk T trio remember? Mr millionaire-bankrupt RPK, how about providing us with current PM's sexploit with a singer-beauty in Port DICKson one fine night not so long ago you cunt remember! Okay, go aRsEk another pendek ex-MB ISA SAMAD, now chairman of Felda despite being found guilty of MONEY POLITICS IN UMNO PARTY ERECTIONS.. Oooops, elections!
*** (3) ") Shall we talk about the people Tian Chua sent to Korea for training on how to organise demonstrations..." -- Hey, royal Blogger, thou giveth too much credit to the Batu MP-lah! He himself got that sort of money and expertise like your UMNO friends/sponsors? Either you are high on drugs, or rubbing too often that pair of Dada on a "Cina Pendek" night&day and day&night to continue spinning Arabian 1,0001 Nights tales; but this is not the era of Ali Baba and the 40 thieves.(Digressing&Confession: I was "reluctant" to take a dig at that moniker reference on poor Marina Lee Abdullah who now pays for the SINS OF HER HUSBAND, what I'm doing is following the axiom WHAT IS GOOD FODDER FOR THE GOOSE, IS BADDER FOR THE GANDER, for recently RPK called Desi a "China Pendek"!)
Malaysia Today is in the ERA OF THE INTERNET AND NOW MODERN ALI  DADA like you, RPK -- and the whole bunch of 21st century daylight robbers -- won't be able to hide the ill-gotten billions they robbed from the PUBLIC COFFERS now stashed away in Swiss banks. Your fugitive days are numbered as Pakatan Rakyat supported by the Rakyat-ala-Bersih3.0 march in unison to take over Putrajaya cometh GE-13.
"THE DAY OF RECKONING IS NIGH! MAY GOD BLESS US ALL GOD-FEARING MALAYSIANS. Amen." ~~ YL, Desi, knottyaSsusual
