Liar, Liar - "Kebinatangan" Hands afire!!!



"Go to Hell!",
"You tak suka, Keluar!",
"Racist", "wayar putuih", "Saya tak takut","I don't know",
"It's FITNAH, Slander, Dirty Politics, gutter politics!"
Don't believe the lies that bloggers or the media prints ..... "they're all liars, rumor-mongers, and slanderers"
These are just words expected of our good clean leaders - and all, strangely come from only one side of the divide!.
That's fine - so let's recap our "our clean political culture".......


But by far, this following clip was the most hilarious of all!

9 May 2007 - "Where's the leak? The Batu Gajah MP leaks every month too," Bung said referring to DAP representative of the constituency, Fong Po Kuan

That was the past ..... moving on to the present :-
However, Bung Mokhtar told TheSun outside the House that he did not make the gesture, described as the ‘palm hitting a clenched fist’.
- MalaysiaKini, Sleight of Hand in Parliament, Rahmah Ghazali | Jul 8, 08 7:05pm

Bung Mokhtar Radin (Kinabatangan-BN) today did a U-turn, admitting that he had made an obscene gesture in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday during a dispute with some Pakatan Rakyat MPs.Yes, I did it, but it (the gesture) is not what it means. Everybody has their own perception and it is not rude and it is not what people think it is,” he said when met in the Parliament lobby.
- Malaysia Kini, Kinabatangan MP: Yes, I did it but .....,Rahmah Ghazali | Jul 9, 08 1:46pm
MCPXes, I did it, but it (the gesture) is not what it means. Everybody has their own perception and it is not rude and it is not what people think it is,” he said when met in the Parliament lobby.

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

It's almost "deja vu" -Reminds me of Adnan Yakob's "sleight of hand" some time back (refer to image above).
Click HERE for the YouTube clip.


"Repent You Shameful man" screamed the headlines of Malaysiakini refering to Mr. Bung (pronounced not as in "bang", but "boong", okay) ..... but what do you do, when "some people" are Shame-less - and don't have these very human characteristic of shame?
Maybe they can go for boot-camps, wash plates and learn some etiquette & "leadership skills" - but hey, maybe that's where they learnt these things, under the one who bred them!
Anyways, in Malaysia, they become "leaders" - these guys all have become chief representatives of one group or other in the the ruling parties/ government!
(Mr. Bung is I believe the chairman of the BN BBC, right?)

They lie very openly and refuse to apologise, or even pretend that their behaviour "means something else" and that "it is not what people think it is"!!!
They seem to believe that they are somewhat 'misunderstood' when they do these things- but when the opposition do or say things thats hardly 'offensive" by any standards - and then suddenly .... it isn't our culture!!!

Have any of them been taken to task?
I doubt it - if anything, they were only rewarded with influential posts and more power. On the other hand, maybe they "hold others at ransom"!
Actually the denials upon denials and then the admission of "Kebinatangan" appears to be in line with the culture of "flipping & flopping", among quite a few prominent personalities of late. That's "in our culture", according to these cultural experts!
We all know who bred the "dogs", and who "let the dogs out" - and I'm quite certain Pak Lah is doing a good job at putting them on a leash, after taking over from the chief breeder himself.

p.s.
Just hope some "prominent 'opinion-leading' bloggers" don't call for a blog-strike in disgust! (whatever that means)
.
Their blogging on things may make these "leaders" smarter - forget about the general public (compared to these imbeciles, the public are really geniuses ....).
.
Though chances are slim for any success,
who knows- when you're "prominent personality" taken note of by the MSM & all, it may be worth an effort ;-)
Addendum:
Check out this hilarious clip:-

The "Music" of Carburettor Dung

===========================
Nope - no "blog-strike" here ..... I don't indulge in childish political agendas, or claim to represent people I don't know.
Those who think they do - let them be "perasan".
[Sorrylah Rocky & Marina - I don't think you are entitled to "represent bloggers" in the MSM in this case. I thought it was an unjustified, shameful & pathetic attempt at buttering certain people, while discrediting & drawing ridicule upon the blogging community - you guys better come clean on this.
After all, we Malaysians need self-proclaimed "smart bloggers" with weak stomachs for the can-o-worms,
to keep us out of the dark ages :-P]

The political mudslinging recently reached fever pitch .....
Taking a break from the Nazri spin, Altantuya, SDs, Denial SOPs, Missing PIs (under duress) and Sodo Mee Fevers that has gripped the nation, here's some Carburettor Dung-tertaiment.
Since I had a good laugh at their expense, in all fairness - here's a videoclip of their performance in JB (the sound on camera isn't too good, butt!).

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

True - they definitely don't have to apologize. They only did what they normally do.
It probably is a feather in their cap - they did evoke plenty of "energy and anger" (albeit, of the wrong kind) at the rally!
Couldn't say the same for the organizers of the rally, though ...

Hey man - I never said they weren't good in their own way.
It does have a good beat to it. Definitely not for my mellowed-down, "middle-aged" and "respectable:-P" palate/ ear, though - 20yrs ago when I used to be "into it", maybe.
Yep - they're quite okay, and have their own fans in the UG circuit.
Pretty peaceful crowd too (despite all the "energy") at JB- but I seriously doubt that they'd gel with the crowd that turned up at Kelana Jaya Stadium ...

However, I still think it was a major "F-up" on Sham's part to have featured them at a political rally which is meant for the general public (which includes kids and the "ultra conservatives). It definitely cannot be deemed as "suitable entertaiment" for the "Protes" event, which is more mainstream .... although it would be a good idea to get the UG, upstream/downstream headbanging crowd to be part of the movement towards national political consciousness.

These guys usually thrive on being "anti-establishment", no matter what - they don't want to be "mainstream". They like being "rebels" (even if it is without a cause). Their events are meant for a niche" crowd, suited for those sentiments.
Being "politically incorrect" is their trademark!
It's sad that Sham Rais and the event organisers don't seem to understand that. Just becos they are "anti-establishment", it doesn't mean that they "gel" with the sentiments of the general public at such events.
Sounds like the organizers didn't have their pulse on the people in this case .... it just shows the detachment.
Anyway, although I'm not exactly "conservative", I'd be horrified, should a 10yr-old kid takes a liking to this UG culture, without knowing what it stands for ...

Their name still does tickle the funny bone in me though ....
"Carburettor DUNG" - what a name .... but it does kinda "grow on you"?!

AG- The Institution over the Individual? Here?

===========================
THE Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA)'s probe into allegations against Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hassan and Attorney-General (A-G) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail for abuse of power will be conducted with integrity although there may be conflicts of interest. ....
He said there are two aspects to the A-G, namely the A-G as an individual, and the A-G as an institution which comprises other officials such as the deputy A-G or the solicitor-general.
"The decision whether to prosecute or not will not be decided by the A-G as an individual but will be made by the A-G as an institution. And, because of conflict of interests, surely he (A-G) will not take part.

- The Sun
===========================

The 'erudite' YB Nazri said, "Justice must be seen to be done..... "
"...probe into allegations.... will be conducted with integrity although there may be conflicts of interest."
"The decision whether to prosecute or not .... will be made by the A-G as an institution."

That's so "deep", Nazri!
I'm so impressed with such "integrity" in our high offices!
Pardon me, but as a layman, I fail to understand the workings (separation of powers) of the Individual and the Institution here - ....... never knew such separation of powers existed or is even possible within the AG's Chambers!
I didn't know that the AG's office could be rendered into somewhat like that of a rubber-stamp office of an institution.

Keeping an individual who is subject of a "probe" at the helm, may be detrimental to the image of the institution itself ..... that is why you have a vetting process prior to one's appointment.
It was my belief that it was the moral duty of those holding high office to vacate the seat of power, to facilitate investigation/ probe.
It would otherwise be an insult to him and the office he holds.

Of course - one is innocent until proven guilty (except in 'certain cases', where one is pronounced guilty when "he failed to prove his innocence" - but that a different story which obviously doesn't apply here.)

Of course it is technically possible to have the man in office and still have an impartial inquiry, but is this possible in practise .... what more, with the "much-envied" credibility of the current administration!

How does the Institution of the AG, now bypass the authority of the individual at the helm, when he has not been relieved of his duties?
Does that not mean that the AG cannot be privy to information - and as such "powerless" in his own home?

Due to the admitted potential for "conflict of interest", shouldn't the subject of inquiry (the individual) by right be relieved of his duties (by the Institution), until the results of the inquiry are known.
By not doing so, doesn't it discredit the "Institution" and inquiry itself?

Since "justice must be seen to be done", wouldn't it be better to at least have an acting-Chief, until the subject of the investigation is cleared?
As in the past, YB Nazri surely does a poor job at articulating his ideas on legal matters.
Senator Zaid - I think it is time you shed some light (or spin) on this matter ....

Or are we waiting for another SD to surface, to futher discredit what little's left?

"Clean" Politics, "Blog-Strikes" & "Carburettor Dung".

============================
"And even bloggers are getting sick of all the shenanigans - and are laying off politics for awhile."
- The Sunday Star



I wondered why Rocky would wanna "go on strike" when he sees the can of worms being opened ......
And Marina would say, "I don't know anything at all .....and I will blog about things that I hope will make us smarter, not stupider."

What - we cannot throw dirt back at those who whack us?
Isn't this what we have all been silent about?
We cannot demand accountability?
Wow! Now we have become 'political moralists' have we?

Suddenly some people have become all soft and sentimental?
Everything's "fitnah semata-mata", and it can destroy the "ummah".
Aaah ... I get it - it is not in our culture to speak of the dirt that hasn't been flushed out - we just put the lid on them and spray some perfume on it. We as responsible "bloggers" have to shut our eyes to the "boogers", lest we throw up.

The dirt has to be sorted out and swept up "behind closed doors", so that the people think highly of our politicians and inspire confidence.
I'm sure that will fill all the hungry bellies, empty fuel tanks and depleting cash reserves ....
We can only speak of things that are prim and proper in public.
We need to molly-coddle all our politicians ......
That definitely will make us all smarter ...... Malaysia Boleh style!!!
Thanks for the tip, Rocky and Marina - I'm sure everybody (especially Saiful, Bala P.I. & Setev Sharibuu) will love you more for that.....

Semut has some interesting photos on the evolution of Malaysian politics, that has approached its heights in CarburettorDung - from goodbye umno, goodbye hadhari to the sodo mee story..
All we need as a wake-up call now is "Carburettor Dung" and a Mooning show!
=========================

Moving on ...... Many asked me yesterday, if I'd be heading to Kelana Jaya for the "carnival" - since I'm not into "wholesome family entertainment", it was a negative.

I had a good laugh today morning, though ... Hard-T has some really good pictures to illustrate what I had only imagined could have happened at the "carnival".

My goodness gracious me ......!!!!!
(Marina & and Rocky might've decided to shut down their blogs forever ..... and Malaysians would be deprived of getting "smarter"!)

Thank God it didn't take place at padang timur Amcorp Mall.

Protes rally turn ugly (Now showing) -Hard-T

AMK Security (Angkatan Muda Keadilan) we're really F'in up....
So, when he dropped his pants ...., trouble makers (monkeys) & conservative elements in the crowd that started the violence & started throwing bottles......
Throughout the day, there were many trouble makers & probably UMNO youngster gangstas there (as usual). All the monkeys came out to play!
To wrap up this part, some AMK guys could have roughed up the members of Carburettor Dung as they we're 'taken' out ....
They went missing after,.....

Rocker strips pants and bends down at audience - The Star

Hishamuddin Rais yang menjadi pengarah persembahan telah berjanji untuk membatalkan pertunjukan beberapa kumpulan underground dan digantikan dengan kumpulan nasyid dan dikir barat. Beliau menjaminkan bahawa persembahan nanti akan tertumpu pada isu minyak dan juga kezaliman kerajaan. - HermanSamsudeen


---------------------------------------------

"Oi! Cukuplah!"........ the audience managed to rain blows on the performers..... band had been performing a number titled "Liwat" .... The last straw was when the lead singer, turned around and pulled down his pants to expose his underwear..... one of the organisers of the event went on stage to publicly apologise ... adding tearfully that he did not understand why the crowd was behaving so uncivilly against his "anak buah" ....

- TheMalaysianInsider

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

Now, for Sham's SHAME ...(aka dungtertainment)




Hello Sham Rais,
DAMN - Good show Sham!
Are you out of your skull or something?
Did you think they were supposed to perform to junkies or feng-thou crowd or something?
You didn't know that mindless antics on stage, isn't what people wanna see?
You call that "music"? You call that "entertainment"?
You gotta have more sense than put up a cheap trick like that to rile up the crowd!
One doesn't have to be "square" to be disgusted with such performances, Sham - you just need common sense!
One could have found ten other bands/ performers who'd perform for free, with some real music
Jeez Sham - shame on you.
Wake up, grow up and stop the "F"-ups, for gottsakes!!

Fish-head Curry and Duress.

LATEST:
KUALA LUMPUR, July 5 ─ P. Balasubramaniam
─ the man behind the now infamous statutory declaration
─ and his family have gone missing.


======================
"Don't we do something that can
destroy what we have done?!?!?!?
"
===============================

After spending hours with Bala taking notes of his testimony previously and being familiar with his character, Americk said, ” I am very sceptical that he has signed the second statutory declaration of his own free will and I am convinced he has been intimidated to do so by either threats or promises, as I can think of no other reason.”

Bala then spoke to the ASP and left at around 4.45pm. Americk assumed he was going to meet the ASP at about 6.30pm as they had been talking about having
fishhead curry at Brickfields, said the lawyer.

He said Bala had signed the first declaration in front of a commissioner of oaths - someone whom Bala recognised as having grown up in the same Slim River neighbourhood as himself - on his own free will.

“I am therefore extremely surprised that Mr. Bala, in the space of 24 hours, has engaged the services of another lawyer and affirmed another statutory declaration swearing the first one was untrue and that he was forced to sign it,” said Americk.


======================
"I mention this as a principle,
meaning if we love our country we must realise that
to build a country like Malaysia is not something easy.
Don't we do something that can destroy
what we have done.
"
- The Malaysian Insider
============================
LATEST:
KUALA LUMPUR, July 5 ─ P. Balasubramaniam
─ the man behind the now infamous statutory declaration
─ and his family have gone missing.

"After retracting the declaration, Balasubramaniam snuck out without answering any questions from the press. His nephew, Kumaresan, said that the private investigator and his family have not been seen since yesterday.

This latest twist is going to make an already messy situation worse and give credence to claims by the Opposition that Balasubramaniam felt compelled to revise his statutory declaration because he and his family had been threatened."

- The Malaysian Insider

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

In another development, I thought the Quran Reading Competition was going on .....

Primetime News and "information" has taken a Religious twist with

Quran recitals and the Melaka History,

condemning "Fitnah" that can destroy Islam & civilization itself!

Somebody must be really shaken up and "under duress" with all the "fish head curry" and SDs in town......

Reminds me of what Russell Peter's dad used to tell him-

"Somebody's gonna get hurt real BAAAAD!

THE SOCIAL CONTRACT - Intro from Che Det.Com

The Notion & the "Social Contract". (July 2,2008) with reference to Dr. Shad Faruqi's press statements.
Dr. Mahathir's revelation of his take on the "Malaysian 'social contract'", will be quite interesting - of that you can be quite certain ....
===========================

1. There has been a lot of talk about a Social Contract in Malaysia.

2. Perhaps it would be useful if we understand this concept a little bit more before we argue about it.

3. If we care to look into the origins of the social contract we will find that it is a European concept enunciated by European philosophers. The most famous is Socrates, the Greek philosopher who was jailed and sentenced to death.

4. He refused to escape and migrate to another Greek city-state because he believed he was bound by a social contract to live by the laws of his state of Athens as he was born and brought up there, benefiting from the aforesaid laws.

5. Before this social contract, men were said to live in a State of Nature, where there was no law to govern the relation between individuals in a small primitive society. The law of the jungle prevailed where might was right.

6. As society grew it became necessary to have laws which govern the behaviour of members of the society. All citizens were committed to respect and submit to the laws. This understanding is in fact a social contract although there was no oral or written undertaking to respect and submit to the laws. This was the view of Socrates. Later philosophers enlarged on this concept but there was never a requirement for a formal contract.

7. The Greeks are said to practise a democratic form of Government. However the citizen who had the right to participate in Government were limited to male adults of sound mind. Women, children, slaves, captives, criminals and foreigners were not accorded the rights of citizens and could not play a part in Government.

8. Much of European civilisation is based on the Greek civilisation. But as society grew bigger, direct participation in Government by the people became impossible.

9. At one stage democracy was abandoned in favour of feudalism in which a monarch ruled by Divine Right. In Asia this had always been the form of Government. Nevertheless the submission of the subjects to the Monarch was also a form of social contract.

10. Later feudalism was replaced by republicanism i.e. a return to the public of the power of Government.

11. Numerous forms of republics have emerged, each with its own set of laws and rules regarding the government of the country. But whatever may be the form, the laws and the rules, the citizens are bound by them. There would be no written contract but for foreigners to accept the rights of citizenship, there would usually be a formal undertaking to submit to the laws and system of the Government of the country.

12. After becoming citizens their offspring would automatically be regarded as citizens and as citizens they need not swear a formal oath of allegiance to the country. This right is through jus sanguinis i.e. through blood relation.

13. But there can also be citizenship by being born in the country or jus soli. This can be provided for by the laws of the country.

14. But whether citizenship is gained through jus sanguinis or jus soli, the social contract still applies even though there is no formal oath taking.

15. What is clear is that a social contract is a general understanding on the part of a citizen to submit to and obey the laws and the institutions of the country. The social contract governs not just his relation with the country, its Government and its institutions but also his relationship with his fellow citizens.

16. After receiving comments on this I will talk about the Malaysian social contract and its effect on Malaysia.

It's so Sub Jaundice .....

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

Mr. Lai Si-Foh, a prominent personality was recently interviewed by the Media of Bolehsia, with regard to attempts to "smear his image" with the Magnum P.I.'s SD.
He appeared to "be cool" despite the controversial nature of the allegations .....
Here are excerpts of the interview :-

Media: Good Morning, Sir. Are you disturbed by the recent allegations?

LAI : My response is very simple - we have to practice DENIALS.
Read my rosy pink lips - It's a lie.
I mean L-I-E, even though my name Lai sounds the same - fabrications, Fitnah! WHY NOW? That's the question!

Ha, Ha. You see - I'm still smiling.
I can see that the person accused of having Mee Soto is trying to fabricate stories about me thru Mr. Magnum - now you can see that he has withdrawn "significant" parts - actually all of his SD already.
His new SD was an SD of DENIAL .
Actually, he has effectively called himself a LIAR & a cuckoo!
You saw him - he was so happy today, despite the fact that he was smiling with Anwar yesterday.
Now his credibility is blown to pieces - kaput! Ha, Ha!
It was all so simple to disprove these rumours of malicious intent.
I just have to deny it.
So, No case loh .... heh, heh - you know I donno how to lie, and the people know that!

Even my boss says so .... and of course, as my boss also said that people accused of having Mee Soto will obviously deny it!
And my boss also tells you all to believe what he says now- even though he lied on numerous occasions in the past, about everything.

As for Magnum's SD, he cannot comment, as it may be "sub jaundice".
The question is, "WHY NOW" - you cannot say "Why not now ...".
That's also "sub jaundice" .... I think - if it isn't, I'm sure we can tell Mr. Petai there to cook up a real hot sambal petai with the Mee Soto and put the matter to Rest In Peace.

Media: What have you got to say about the coffee boy who served Mee Soto - that Psyfool character?

Mr. LAI : Yes. He's a "nice" boy - a real sub.
And a Mee Soto flunky from the reputed Soto Uni.
... cute too, I might add. Ha, ha.
Oh - I never had anything to do with him or his SD or report, even though he visits me at my home ...... it was "nice".
He simply did it to save his honor or what's left of it .... ha, ha.
The spin that he was an outstanding member of a religious club doesn't hold anymore, though - his name wasn't in the registry- a mega-conspiracy.
It went missing, just like the Congolian immigra ..... sorry- that cannot be mentioned.
It's sub jaundice or something like that. Ask Mr. Petai - he'll tell you.....

Aah yes, anyway - he was 'distressed'.
His hands which are normally soft, supple and warm was so "seram sejuk" - I won't go into details about other parts of his body, as it may be sub jaundice

The cops can handle the matter - I'm sure they'll do a good job Mee Soto .... heh, heh.
Oh- by the by ... He needed some help you see - I'm sure he was telling the truth, as I inspected him and saw the Mee Soto damage on him.

Yes - Mee Soto makes your hands "seram sejuk".
I speak from my personal experience in certain boys' hostels those days .....
People come to me for help all the time .. they come for all sorts of things - even from Congolia, SWAT teams. Yes .... also on truly explosive issues that need to be handled with care.

Media : How come you have not defended yourself or your Mrs., by suing Mr. Pete for libel or defamation after his SD the other day? The people may perceive you to be a wimp, for not being able to defend your Mrs., don't you think?

Mr. LAI : Mr. Petai can handle that.
I don't have to do anything beyond making denials.
Oh - BTW, Did you hear that his website CongoliaToday was hacked?
That was good, huh?

The people know that I'm not a LIAR, don't have Mee Soto, and help coffee boys who I know normally have warm, soft, supple hands.
Once again, I won't speak of other parts .... sub jaundice - whatever that means ....
As for my Mrs, well, hasn't she said she's got bigger things to handle?
That would lay to rest any doubts about my legendary virility .... ROTFLOL!!

Anyway, in Bolehsia, we just ignore such things - after some time, the people will forget about it when they have to work longer & harder to feed their kids.
They can eat Mee Soto for all I care .....
The people just cannot think when they are tired out, trying to eke out a living ... brilliant, isn't it?
Yes - they'll get too tired to think of what my Mrs or I do in our free time with Congolians or Coffee boys.

Lastly, I must once again ask - WHY NOW?
Those magic words will demolish all allegations ... "be cool".

Media : Thank you, Mr. Lai- err... for such the enlightening revelations.

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

Disclaimer:
The above is totally fictional - and I'd make a Statutory Declaration on that. Mind it!
Any semblance anyone alive is purely a coincidence.


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

In a separate development ......
the following was seen on Malaysiakini:

"Meanwhile, Balasubramaniam’s lawyer, Americk Singh Sidhu, who was with the former yesterday when he made the stunning revelations, was "absolutely unaware" of the latest development.

Americk told Malaysiakini that Balasubramaniam received a phone call from the police soon after his press conference yesterday to report to the Brickfields police station.

"I advised him that as a law-abiding citizen, he should go and see them. So I fetched him to the Brickfields police station at 4.45pm yesterday and I haven’t heard from him since," he said stressing that he has failed to contact Balasubramaniam since this news broke out.

Balasubramaniam's statutory declaration was affirmed before commissioner of oaths Zainal Abidin Muhayat, bearing an address that has been traced to Zul Rafique & Partners - a pro-establishment law firm owned by Zulkifly Rafique who is Federal Territories minister Zulhasnan Rafique's brother."

-----------------------------------------

First statutory declaration made voluntarily: Lawyer
Lawyer Americk Singh Sidhu denied that private investigator P Balasubramaniam affirmed his first sworn statement under duress.
- Malaysiakini
------------------------------------------

KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 - Our military has no intelligence.
- The Malaysian Insider.

(Note: These words above, were cut & pasted here. These words are no longer there as far as I can see - It may have been a misprint.
It has been edited/ rephrased, and here's an excerpt:
"Salleh went so far as to claim that the military had no intelligence with regards to these matters even though they involved not just top political figures in our country but the government's top executives as these were "criminal cases. The military looks at things related to security, e.g., militants and terrorists. Like you (the press), we are simply monitoring events.")
----------------------------------------

"As I am familiar with the character of Mr Bala having spent hours with him recording his statement, I am very skeptical that he has signed the second statutory declaration of his own free will and I am convinced he has been intimidated to do so by either threats or promises, as I can think of no other reason.

The commissioner of oaths who attested the first statutory declaration is prepared to confirm what I have stated above as far as the voluntariness of Mr Bala’s statutory declaration is concerned.

In fact Mr Bala recognised the commissioner as soon as he saw him as both apparently grew up in the same neighbourhood in Slim River, which is something I had no knowledge of."
- Americk Singh Sidhu
