Salah Tu, Penyapu Adalah Punca BN Kalah di Selangor


Sila baca sangkalan Dr MOhd Khir Toyo berkaitan kekalahan BN di Selangor. Di siarkan di Malaysiakini.

BACA Di Sini

Saya tidak bersetuju.

Kenapa saya kata begitu? Maaf kerana saya menulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris.

Its all come down to culture. In Dr Mohd Khir Toyo's mind, and in Selangor Govt executive council deliberations, its might be okay to give broom to their subordinates and colleagues. Well, what are they thinking?

The people of Majlis Daerah Hulu Langat are not happy much less Yang diPertua Majlis Daerah Tukiran Nail. "Rasa nak menangis", thats how they feel. Dont you feel the same? Its none of their fault in the first place. They have done their best, some even work on their off day to do their best for their state. But ratepayers dont pay, what they can do?

Most of the ratepayers in Hulu Langat District are big companies and big businesses. How many of them are residential ratepayers? When these big businesses doesnt pay, Majlis Daerah Hulu Langat would "sita" the property. So what the big businesses do? They appeal to Dr Mohd Khir Toyo's people to open it. So thing would go on as usual.

And then Selangor Govt of Mohd Khir Toyo had the temerity to embarass Majlis Daerah Hulu Langat for low collection rate?

Its about time someone publish the names of businesses who were delinquent in paying their 'cukai pintu'.

We people of Selangor sympathise with Tukiran Nail of Majlis Daerah Hulu Langat.

The Malays view that 'giving broom' as kurang sopan and penghinaan.

Do you still wonder why BN lose in Selangor?

I wrote this in Malaysiakini

Wrote this last week. Its in Malaysiakini letter section.

Exco should decide on positions, not CM
Noor Yahaya Hamzah | Apr 28, 08 3:26pm
I refer to the Malaysiakini report Penang CM unperturbed by uproar over Lee's appointment.

Its funny seeing how the Lee Kah Choon saga has been blown out of proportion. Surely this should give important lesson for the Penang government of Lim Guan Eng.

Lesson 1: Before giving a job to anyone, make sure he/she is qualified and able to do the job. I am not saying Lee Kah Choon is not qualified but qualifications don’t mean anything if he cannot do the job. On the other hand, a candidate may appear unqualified, but if he or she can get the job done, why not? Attitude is much more important.

Lesson 2: The Penang government should advertise the job first, before giving the job to some one. Just giving the job to anyone you know, whether from your camp or the opposite camp is not right. It doesn’t appear above board.

By advertising the position, the Penang government would be able to draw from a pool of qualified candidates and might be able to get the best person to do the job.

Lesson 3: Lim Guan Eng should not make decisions to give state positions in his capacity as Penang chief minister - it should be a Penang state executive council decision. The appointment of the chosen person should be above board too.

Because the rakyat appoints their representatives (ie, Penang state executive councillors) to govern the state, hence an executive appointment like the PDC chairmanpersonship should rightfully be brought before the state executive council.

We should all demand that executive appointments by all state governments and the federal government be more transparent and be advertised in the media.

The Mabuk and Gatal Former Minister and the power of deduction.

Malaysian Bar website has this entries about the case that is fast becoming hot gossip in KL.

Amazing how we can do some creative deduction on the story and come out the likely former minister perpetrator (alleged). You know what happen next, the woman complainant would withdraw her complaint after some pressure from high above.

Let me reproduce the replies from Malaysian Bar website;

That restaurant at Brickfield would be popular from now on. Heck I dont know there is a bar/restaurant over there. Some of you might ask, " Why is a Muslim woman working at place like that?"

Well, its honest work. What can you do, its not easy to find a job that pay the bill.

TEKA TEKI MENTERI GATAL

5 ministers were dropped.

They were:

1) Rafidah Aziz
2) Azmi Khalid
3) Tengku Adnan
4) Radzi Sheikh Ahmad
5) Jamaluddin Jarjis

We eliminate Rafidah as the report says it was a "HIM".

We eliminate Azmi is he is not in his 50's.

We eliminate Tengku Adnan as he is not overseas now.

We eliminate Radzi as he was not at the Hotel Meridian Sentral that night getting drunk.

Now who do you think we have left?

Nik Elin Zurina Bt Nik Abdul Rashid
What are you trying to imply, Nik Elin?
written by Alex Tan Ken Seng, 23 April, 2008 at 02:35 pm


I don't get your logic Nik Elin. Your maths is too difficult. Therefore there is insufficient evidence to warrant further investigation. Case closed.

Alex Tan Ken Seng

P.S. Candidate number 5 might argue that in law "him" can also refer to "her", thus Rafidah should also be probed. Further, we haven't seen the birth certificates of the others, so we therefore cannot conclude their ages.
It looks like him, it sounds like him...

...but who knows? That was a very succinct investigative report, Alex. Ever worked for the ACA? smilies/grin.gif

mentally incapacitated... thats the defence

Defence of intoxication..... too much cigars and shishah....

Wait... I forgot... there was also Dato Seri Samy Velu... he too is a former cabinet minister....

You think they will line Uncle Sam as well during the identification parade..???

Nik Elin Zurina Bt Nik Abdul Rashidsmilies/cry.gif smilies/cry.gif
Definitely not him lah !!

I disagree with your elimination process Nik Elin. No. 5 actually did the right thing by apologising for an incident http://raajarox.com/?p=101. This was such a noble move. I don't think he did it lah.

The Kah Choon Saga; Penang Govt Should Advertise the Job First

Its funny seeing the Kah Choon saga has been blown out of proportion. Surely this should give important lesson to Penang Govt of Lim Guan Eng. Hardly a day in the past week passed that snippets of the Kah Choon saga appear in Malaysiakini.

Lesson 1:
Before giving job to anyone, make sure he/she is qualified and be able to do the job. Hey that is basic isnt it? I am not saying Lee Kah Choon is not qualified, after all, qualification doesnt mean anything if he cannot do the job. A candidate may appear unqualified, but if he or she can get the job done, why not.
This bring back the stupid Malaysian attitude of looking at people by his or her qualification and experience. Whereas attitude is much more important.
Even Koh Tsu Koon is questioning Lee Kah Choon's experience and qualification to do the job.

Lesson 2:
Penang Govt should advertise the job first, BEFORE giving the job to anybody. Just giving the job to anyone you know, whether from your camp or opposite camp is NOT RIGHT. It doesnt appear above board.
That way Penang Govt would be able to draw from a pool of qualified candidates, and might be able to get the best person to do the job.

Lesson 3:
Lim Guan Eng SHOULD NOT make the decision to give the job in his capacity as Penang Chief Minister, it SHOULD BE Penang Govt cabinet decision. The appointment of executive should be above board too.
Because the rakyat appoint their representatives (ie Penang ADUN) to govern, hence executive appointment like PDC chairmanship should be drawn from a pool of applicant with the best possible qualification and experience.
So the best way to draw applicant from all over is by advertising the job.

We should demand executive appointments by all State Govt and Federal Govt be more transparent, ie advertised in the main media.lqxi

DID YOU SEE PENANG GOVT JOB ADVERTISEMENT FOR PDC CHAIRPERSON?

Get your RESUME or CV ready fellows, because we should demand all jobs should be advertised in mainstream media and publications, NOT farmed out to cronies and sedara mara!

The Cat that crossed the road (and got hit by a car)





He is back. But cant eat much, probably mouth still useless and sore.

Teganu Oil Royalty: Whose Decision?

Since Ahmad Said goes public asking for the Terengganu oil royalty money, the topic has become hotter. Here is PM Abdullah's reply to a question asked by journalists recently.

We all know most of the money doesnt go to the people of Terengganu, but to the cronies of PM Abdullah, ie Patrick Lim aka Patrick Badawi, sons and son inlaw, Idris Jusoh and gangs. You can see the result, Masjid Kristal, Pulau Wan Man, Monsoon Cup etc. What benefit was it for the rakyat?

There he is, telling journalists that "wang ehsan" benefits rakyat of Terengganu.
There he is pooh pooing Ahmad Said and indirectly Sultan Terengganu that the money is for the rakyat.

Ahmad Said himself said, spending 50-60 million ringgit to build road into the jungle is a waste of money, not to mention encouraging plunder of forest timber. Yes I do agree with Ahmad Said.

So PM Abdullah just dismissed off hand Ahmad Said's request for royalty money. Is that executive decision or cabinet decision? Is it legal?

Go ahead Ahmad Said, take Federal Govt and Abdullah Badawi as well as Mahathir Mohamad to court, because I believe withholding the royalty money was illegal in the first place. Sue them for the total since 2000 till now.

Terengganu people deserve it, its theirs, not Abdullah Badawi and family. The whole of Terengganu, PAS, UMNO and all are placing their hopes on you Ahmad Said.

Lee Kah Choon: Serve the Country and Rakyat, Not Your Political Boss.

I refer to this Malaysiakini report on Lee Kah Choon appointment as InvestPenang chairman.
I like this man for standing up and be counted, and serve the country and rakyat as chaiman of InvestPenang.
As they say Downunder, "Good on you, Mate"

And why would Gerakan chairman would be shocked that Kah Choon accept the job? It would be an honour to serve the country and rakyat.

And what is this, the PM doesnt like people from BN component to serve the country? Lee Kah Choon has been given the job of serving the country, even if under Pakatan Government of Penang.
What difference does it make, he serves the country nonetheless.

Good move for CM Lim Guan Eng, now everyone see that he is doing the best for the state, and appoint whoever is the best for the job, regardless of political leaning.

I dont understand what is wrong with the BN people. They farm lucrative public works to their political backers, cronies with scant regard of their ability to do the job and the most competitive price. And now they want to prevent their BN people from getting jobs in opposition states as well.

Absolute narrowmindedness.

Why dont we give Datuk Lee Kah Choon a chance, instead of "di kenakan tindakan disiplin".

He may not have experience in that field, well if he doesnt perform.. we shall replace him later.
