Swinging the Pendulum ....
PERAK - Appeals Court grants Zambry a stay of execution in Perak MB tussle.
(Wiki: A stay of execution is a court order to temporarily suspend the execution of a court judgment or other court order.)
The above stay application at the court of appeals despite being one of great public interest, was apparently heard by a single judge!!! With that judgment, it means that Nizar is once again "no more MB", barely a day after being declared the legitimate MB.
Accordingly, before vacating the office, Nizar said, "Whatever court action, we need to sincerely stop the impasse. The only remedial action that can stop this impasse is a dissolution of the assembly."
Shafee, the BN lawyer (while at it) apparently cited an obscure case in Africa to state that the MB does not need a vote of no confidence to be sacked, while the case of Stephen Kalong Ningkan in Sarawak, stares at his face. It is precisely these kind of perverted minds that bring about the subversion of the Federal Constitution, while promoting the law of the jungle (as was seen in the Perak DUN).
Only yesterday at Umno Baru's 21st (and Umno’s 63rd) anniversary celebrations, Najib mentioned that :-
"We must change in accordance to our constitution and national principles.” ... he called for "working together, transcending partisan politics", and now, he wants to keep playing the ding dong game, while Perak languishes.
So much for Najib's call for upholding the constitution and working for the rakyat.
As far as I know, the Constitution does not prescribe the election of a speaker without convening the assembly, nor does it allow for physically evicting the speaker from his seat of power.
Maybe his principle is that of using brute force to (literally) grab the seat of power, at whatever cost. His understanding of the constitution is probaly that it is meant to serve UMNO, and not vice versa.
Najib with his flip-flopping and dubious "stimulus packages" is hardly a leader of the people, and is unlikely to be able to reign in the party's warlords who hunger for money and power (which led to the Perak fiasco) - no matter what Mahathir may say of him. (Most probably Mahathir just says the things he does about Najib, for the simple reason that he's "pliable" - considering the controversies surrounding him and his Mrs.).
Someone once said, "Conservatives aren't necessarily stupid - but the stupid are inevitably conservative" ... and that is what Umno knows, and wishes to capitalize on. they would seek to harness the "power of stupidity" among its less than average minds.
Being weak, Najib/ Umno will probably start with the Ketuanan Melayu rhetoric once again to shore up their "conservative" base, and push forward the racists' agenda of piracy. They will try every trick in the book to portray all controversies with a racist slant to it - which is precisely what they did in Perak - while hiding the hands that steal, plunder and rape the economy.
It is all about "money" - and little to do with "race" (as RPK had written is haste) which they would want you to believe.
It is quite likely that we will be having a mid-term elections which will be Najib's Waterloo. Having the weak leadership qualities and a coterie of imbeciles around him, he would almost certainly advocate the complete destruction of all institutions of democracy which we have (to complete the job of his "guru"). Going by the happenings in Umno now, despite all the calls for "change" ad nauseaum, it is most likely that they will turn Malaysia into a full fledged fascist pariah state in due time.
There was a time when I did give Umno/BN the benefit of doubt - in that, I hoped that they might "change". However, after the events that have transpired of late, all hope for reforms among these pirates have been abandoned. Day by day, BN only reinforces the idea than they have no sense of justice and do not understand "statecraft".
To the people now, the only hope for Malaysia to achieve "nationhood", is to get rid of this fascist party at the next elections.
Till then, it's que sera sera ....

"Those unable to rise above narrow party interests
to understand what happens to a country when a government
loses respect for the law might still like to consider this:
it is better for BN to risk state elections that we may lose
rather than to lose the entire country by being seen to be
opposed to decency, the rule of law, and the will of the people."
- Tengku Razaleigh

In all likelihood, he believes that what Ku Li said in his blog (above) probably doesn't apply to pirates who seek to control seats of power, while subverting the state. A man like Najib would most likely fall for the temptation of power, and would seek to consolidate it using whatever instrument at his disposal, with no regard for the Federal (or State) Constitution. He's quite unlikely to know or feel any shame towards this end."Those unable to rise above narrow party interests

Nizar's back!!! Dissolve The Assembly Now!!
Nizar is rightful MB: High Court
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here ruled rule on Monday that Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin is the rightful Perak Mentri Besar, and not Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.
In an immediate response, Zambry said he would apply for a stay pending appeal. This was rejected by the court.
Nizar left the courtroom saying he would seek an audience with the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, to get his consent to dissolve the Assembly and call for fresh state elections.
He would make his request for the audience at a state function at the Istana Kuala Kangsar Tuesday morning.
In his ruling Monday, Justice Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim said that a new mentri besar could not be appointed as the office had not been vacated.
He said a mentri besar can only be dismissed by a vote of no confidence, and upheld the Stephen Kalong Ningkan ruling.
He noted that the Perak State Legislative did not hold a vote of no confidence.
Let's Get Together And Feel Alright ....
(Bernama) KUALA LUMPUR: The MIC has invited Hindraf leaders for possible talks and partnership for the sake of the Indian community...... Dr Subramaniam also invited Hindraf leaders to join the party, saying that since both of them shared a common goal ........

Happy Wesak! Respect My Speech!
Today we have the Chief Pirates of Malaysia wishing all Buddhists a Happy Wesak, extolling the virtues of Buddhism, Buddhists and their organizations. To add insult to this injury, they would at the same time try to draw parallels with the Umno/BN regime which stands diametrically opposed to anything that preaches virtue.
Incidently, I had a very vivid dream last night - after reading some "stories" on the internet. There was this grand old man who was the head of the family & clan, who had returned home for a yearly celebration. He was much revered by his children and all members of the clan.
As per protocol in this traditional family,
all of them gave him a warm welcome with much pomp and splendour. This year though, he came with company - a new concubine (that's a polite way of saying "whore") supplied by the thugs/pimps who worked "for him" in his vast business empire.
Before he took his seat at the head of the table, in full view of the whole clan, he got his bodyguards to drag the mother to his children (who objected to his philandering) by the hair- out of the dining hall amidst much protests from his children, and approval & praises from his bastard children. The concubine then took the seat of the mother to his legitimate children, beside him.
Meanwhile prior to the customary speech (no - it wasn't an officiating speech)before the meal, the bastard son said grace, thanking God for the food on the table.
When the children protested once again, with much composure and "grace" he warned them with his arms around the whore,

That was my dream - I then woke up to this "Happy Wesak Day"!

Police mockery of right to legal access
| THE Malaysian Bar strongly condemns the arrest last night of five lawyers at the Brickfields police station who were there to represent their clients. We are shocked and disgusted by this blatant transgression of the rule of law. By their action, the police personnel in question have demonstrated utter disrespect and blatant disregard for the criminal justice system that they are duty-bound to uphold and protect. They have violated the specific provisions in the Criminal Procedure Code guaranteeing access to lawyers. Although there is an exception to this provision, it cannot by any stretch of the imagination be turned into a right to arrest lawyers who are waiting to render legal representation to their clients. The police action makes an absolute mockery of the constitutional right to legal representation and is a travesty of justice. We call on the Inspector-General of Police to immediately explain this gross abuse of police power. This unprecedented conduct by the police has far-reaching consequences. It means arrested persons can be denied access to their lawyers without challenge. And when their lawyers are denied access and are forced to wait outside the police station, the lawyers themselves are at risk of arrest. We acknowledge all our colleagues who have come to the aid and defence of those arrested by the police simply because they have chosen to exercise their fundamental right to assemble peaceably. We salute our colleagues from the Kuala Lumpur Legal Aid Centre — Fadiah Nadwa Fikri, Murnie Hidayah Anuar, Puspawati Rosman, Ravinder Singh Dhalliwal and Syuhaini Safwan — who, without regard for their own safety and well-being, voluntarily went to the aid of those arrested, only to be arrested themselves. They have exhibited great courage and by their actions have demonstrated the highest standards of the Malaysian Bar. Their exemplary sense of duty and professionalism stands in stark contrast to the despicable conduct of the police. |

Ho Ho Ho!! Here - Have a Lollipop ...
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
- Barry Manilow, Santa claus is coming to town
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Do you hear that?
Don't you hear them bells ringing, and balls clanging?
Christmas is coming early this year, guys. The Pirates of Perak have got their loot, and now it's time to throw some Lollies at the "losers" - us the people!
Hishamudin, being armed with his arsenal of security/enforcers in the PDRM (as he's now the Home Minister), has little reason to wave the kris. No more threats, no more calls for "uprisings".
His job now is to snuff out any form of dissent - constitutional or otherwise. It is all his prerogative. He now can order arrests with total impunity.
He can also take away or give you your freedom with no reason whatsoever. But of course the copper will tell you that they need 1001 investigations & reports they have to make before that is done under the ISA. However, you can rest assured that in the Malaysia Boleh spirit, these things can be done in a jiffy - like the time they put that journalist (Ms. Tan, I believe) in the slammer "for her own safety & protection".
Police mockery of right to legal access
Going by the above statement they can also get lawyers out to represent detainees arrested, before they can even turn around and say "WTF"!!
So who says Hisham the Kris-man isn't a nice guys. Who says we need the law or a constitution. We only need Hisham in the Home Ministry and the PDRM which answers to him, under Umno/BN to take care of the country. See what nice leaders we have .....
Yes it's time to see the "goodwill" of pirates turned santa claus! It's time to sing praises to Hishamudin, the Kris man who now shows what a caring Umno/BN regime we have!
It's party time!
So here's your lollipop, guys ..... Ho, Ho, Ho!
Hindraf trio, 10 others freed from ISA
- Incidently from Kamunting, Perak's infamous Hotel Kemta!!!
