PKR Sarawak Targets N22

N22 SEBUYAU (7549) Julaihi Narawi (BN-PBB) incumbent said in 2006 he sees a need for his constituency to have more infrastucture developments in the form of basic amenities like electricity supply and phone lines. There is also an urgent need to make the people of Sebuyau realise the importance of education in raising their living standards.

 audie61 has had the benefit of meeting up with the YB of this constituency on several occassions and he has come across as a likeable,reserved and approachable  and works his talk. He has a degree in Literature from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia but come this State election he will once again cross swords with his common enemy.

In the last couple of elections he has withstood the challenge of Mohamad Akek of Keadilan and defeated his opponent with ease. It seems that in the last couple of weeks PKR has stepped up with their activites and has made certain inroads with former PBDS candidate stepping up a notch and up the ante. Former PBDS President and a supporter of PKR Daniel Tajem has even been spent a night in the kampong in providing a much needed boost for the opposition front. 

Hornbill unleashed has come out with an article ” Whom shall we trusts.?” Audie61 swung into action and cornered one of those who stood on a PBDS ticket in 1991 against Julaihi. He said that the article is timely but PKR needs to really put things in order if they are serious in turning the bastion of BN over and create even a wave and let alone  a tsunami of some sort.

He further reiterated that there should be in place all the small committees as what PBDS had in its quests in the infamous Ming Court Affair. Don’t forget that PBDS managed to wrestle 15 seats? A PKR stategists in Sarawak is putting in place the persons and the seats which the party hopes to make inroads and give BN more than a HEADACHE.

Anwar should trusts the PKR boys in Sarawak not to let him down this time round. Of course there were a lot of detractors and traitors especially from what we have learnt from the recent Lubok Antu by elections . PKR knows that Sarawak is a huge state and the economics of it all is that a substantial  amount of money is needed to cover the costs of PKR candidates standing against BN. 

 PKR however needs to really do its ground work and whoever is chosen to face the might of the BN in each constituency needs to  forego personal interests and ego to ensure the party win its allocated seat.

If and when the negative approach of the candidates who are not chosen and close ranks BN will still win big says the formr defeated candidate of N22. If the hierarchy of PKR says that Akek is the candidate I will stand behind him and ensure that Julaihi will not have it easy. If on the otherhand the PKR leadership sees that I am most suited to challenge I hope that Mohamad Akek will stand behind me. Afterall we are now together in the same team to wrestle this seat and unless we join forces Pakatans dream in Sarawak is just a mere HALLUCINATION AND A DISTANT DREAM.  

The infighting according to a founder member of PKR needs to stop. He said that eventhough Anwar is giving all his strenght and direction in wrestling the Federal Government and has more or less entrusted it to Baru Bian as Sarawak liason chief Sarawak will only fall  if the Fedral government caves in in the next 13th GE. The battle line  is already drawn and Sarawak PKR needs to buck up or miss the boat when and if tere is a NEW DAWN3as what Anwar preaches.

The dayaks if united under PKR will be a major force and if divided into the various parties like PBB,SUPP,PRS and SPDP will remain forever be disunited. So will Anwar trusts the dayaks to come good he asked…??? 

The multi racial platform of PKR will be tested to its fullest in the next State elections and PKR leadership needs to look not only at N22 but also the rests of the 70 seats in hand and how to go into battle together with DAP,PAS and SNAP in the next State election. The two party system if approved would be an injection booster as the PLATFORM of a two party system would be in place. Its then up to the people to vote for their choice and no matter who the party fills the bond is an added strenght in itself.

N22 the incumbent YB Julaihi will know that he has his hands full and he will need all his experience to pull through as this battle will be his strongest yet as the opposition candidates are already willing to assist each other and win Sebuyau an add another feather for Anwars leadership. Najib and CM Taib will be watching closely the activities surrounding N22 and they will ensure that the incumbent has got his battle gear and machinery fully oiled.

Blogging”Fired up or Lazy”

Two comments this week uttered to Natasha and Joey has got them all fired up.

•  Comment 1. Special Branch has inked audie61 as pro-opposition blog 
•  Comment 2. A General Manager of an upcoming English media tabloid said,’Blogs ,Nothing comparable to main stream broadsheets.

 Ooooh Wow! thats just way below the belt and how they can just make their opinions just to ruffle up a few feathers. Seems that there are too many pro-government mouth pieces and if there not balanced reporting mosts people would just switch off and disregard the writing or the opinions of those repective blogs.  {Bump ..Dang and Out you go from the Favourites...}

 What really is a blog..??  To clear up it once and for all lets just reposts this ,”

A blog (a contraction of the term “web log“)^[1] is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries

Our informed source said to us over a cup of coffee at all places,”Secret Recipe-audie61 is an opposition blog. So judgemental and is that how they classify blogs and why don’t they just call the owner of the blog up instead of just on assumptions. Have they  read all our 845 articles over the past 1 year.

May we remind them that audie61 was set up on May 1st 2008 and what was the first article. We will write and really dont give a “F%^&” if the news is of any significant  and we do not take any political divide in our audie61 blog. Like our friend SKY said,’Tell them the ending of your story and fill them in instead of just giving them with a “PUZZLE TO SOLVE“.

How coincidental as it was last night that our source informed us and today there is an article in Hornbill Unleashed which is of a similar ‘genre” touching on blogs. There is a change in the media economics and the angle which mosts people see news is that the competition has already been hyped up that the editors or general managers of main stream suddenly are heavily pricked up their backsides.

 They do not have the complacency now that people will buy their tabloids as the online cyber newstroopers are an edge faster and they do not mince their words. Are the editors ready for this war.

Hornbill unleashed has this which audie61 tend to agree and give it a THUMBS UP,” ‘The mainstream Malaysian media have reacted predictably, by turning up their own partisan volume, trying to drown out dissent, and trying to build up their own news websites. But the Utusan, the Star and the NST are poorly equipped to fight this virtual war. The KTS mouthpiece, the Borneo Post, and the Naim organ, the Eastern Times, are even worse off, and more laughable   

The general manager was not too level headed and has an air of a bit too much on his shoulders. He needs to be more down to earth or else his tabloid would also be up in the ashes as “Rebranding doesn’t always ensure Success” Cockiness and Swimming amongst the Shark infested waters especially with BLOGGERS and other Main Stream Editors/General Manager in cohorts would certainly see the end and the exit door very wide open if the individual does not watch control his tongue.

So who is looking good? audie61 will continue to give their own opinion and we will not just hide behind but we will be focus to write our pieces without fear or favour to anyone but we will push for the truth as we know that the end would be near for those who keeps cementing the dirt underneath.

Information chief of PKR See Chee How does give us words of encouragement and also Chief Political Secrertary to CM Karim Hamzah  who says to us alwayss get second opinions before posting and we have kept that in check. Even a former chief editor said to us that our writing needs to be exactly what people wants to read and not on speculations but spice it up with facts. Guess we have our own genuine followers and we treasure them.

Don’t worry BN/Pakatan we know where it hurts mosts and we will get to the bottom of it all. There are also those who are too afraid to even put their opinions on blogs but they criticise out loud thinking that the whole kingdom will fall down and cave in.

audie61  does not want to start pointing fingers because we do not believe in childishness and untruths. We are all blessed with intellectual properties and we will not have anyone telling us what we can and what we cant write. If its blog worthy we will ensure that we are amongst the first to “dessimate the information to the blogsphere.”

Our friend in the blogsphere sarawak update.com.my when we sms to him about audie61 being classified he said,’ Hahaha for real meh friend..??” He too is concern that there are too many bumps out there who are riding on others success. Are we fired up or what….???

2-1 Perak Chronicles

Nizar asked for 11 Judges to sit in but the final decision will rests on the shoulders of 5 of Malaysias Top Judges. Will we be able to come to a conclusive agreement with a verdict.Sure it will be 2-1 but to who Nizar or Zambry..?? The full article from Malaysiakini portal is copied in full for everyone to make their own  respective opinions.   

The Federal Court today dismissed ousted Menteri Besar Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin’s application for an enlarged panel of 11 judges to hear his crucial appeal.

Court of Appeal president Justice Alauddin Mohd Sheriff – who is leading a five-member bench – said this was an unanimous decision and made no order as to costs.

The decision has raised questions as the apex court had previously allowed a panel of seven judges to hear two drug cases.

Former Bar Council chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan, who is representing Nizar, had earlier submitted that an 11-member bench was necessary as this is a case of huge public interests and implications.

“It affects all the states and would also affect the Federal Constitution. The whole world is watching, academics and the man in the street, as this is a unique case,” she said.

However, attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail, who is acting as an intervener to help interpret the Perak and federal constitutions, said the application should not come by way of motion.

“It should come by way of judicial review,” he added.

In her submission, Ambiga also quoted passages from ‘May Day for Justice’, a book written by former Lord President Mohd Salleh Abas regarding the Umno crisis of 1987.

“It seemed to me that one of the way to eliminate suspicion particularly in view of the hearing of political overtones surrounding the case was to review the case (Umno) before a full bench.

“This is to allow every variety if judicial opinion available to come to bear on the matters.”

Salleh also said it is also obvious by including all the judges, it could eliminate any suggestion of bias on his part.

“No one can say I picked the judges or pick the bench,” the former Lord President said on having a full bench to hear the Umno matter in 1988.

However, before the idea could be implemented, Mahathir replaced him.

Much is at stake

Nizar’s appeal would determine the future of the Perak Pakatan Rakyat state government, which had been driven out of power in February after three of its elected representatives resigned from their parties and pledged support for Barisan Nasional.

Much is at stake at this hearing which would decide not only who is the legitimate menteri besar but also set a precedent for future similar political imbroglios.

Five of the country’s top judges have been picked to hear the case despite Nizar having sought a full 11-member bench given the importance of the case.

The basis for his 11-bench application, as the former Perak MB stated in his affidavit, is that it involves constitutional issues regarding the interpretation of the Perak constitution which would have a direct impact in the interpretation of the provisions in the federal constitution.

Nizar also said that the apex court’s decision would affect all Malaysians and would become a precedent to similar cases in the near future.

“The issues and constitutional problem in Perak have not been resolved and a full quorum of Federal Court judges is important as it involves public interests and the jurisprudence history of the court in Malaysia.

“Furthermore, the legal issues which is raised following the Court of Appeal decision involves the rejection of strong constitutional cases involving the powers of the menteri besar or the chief ministers of Sabah and Sarawak,” Nizar had said in his affidavit filed on Oct 28.

Others on the five-member bench are Chief Judge of Malaya Arifin Zakaria and justices Zulkefli Ahmad Makinuddin, Mohd Ghazali Mohd Yusoff and Abdull Hamid Embong.

Nizar is represented by a team of lawyers led by senior counsel Sulaiman Abdullah, while another senior lawyer Cecil Abraham is representing Perak Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir.

Journalists and members of the public were at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya as early as 7am, where the hearing is held.

Security was tight as police and security personnel require those planning to go into the courtroom to obtain special passes.

Three key questions

Three constitutional questions have been posed for the country’s highest court to decide:

1. A proper interpretation of Article 16(6) of the Perak constitution under which a menteri besar can advise the sultan to dissolve the assembly. What if there is no motion of no-confidence against the MB and that he refuses to resign?

2. Can the sultan determine if a menteri besar commands the confidence of the majority of the House without a vote in the assembly?

Article 16(6) of the state constitution also relates to a motion of no-confidence being made at the state legislative assembly and an interpretation is being sought on this.

3. Whether the state constitution allows the sultan to sack a menteri besar or can the position be deemed vacant if he chooses not to resign.

Nizar wins one, Zambry wins one

The MB vs MB case, which began in March, saw Nizar winning in the High Court on May 11 when justice Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahim declared the PAS leader the rightful menteri besar.

Subsequently, Zambry was granted stay within 24 hours by recently promoted justice Ramly Ali on appeal at the Court of Appeal.

This was followed with the appellate court decision by a three-member bench on May 22 to overturn the High Court decision and acknowledged Zambry as the legitimate menteri besar.

Nizar had encountered problems filing his application for a stay at the Federal Court after the three judges delayed submitting their written judgments.

Two of the written judgments were only made available on June 27, a month after their oral decision, while the third was made available in early July.

After You MACC…Now We go for Zorro

Certainly Chua Soi Lecks reinstatement by ROS must have come as a shocker to many in the political fraternity. The MACC coming down on Political corruption is commendable but more needs to be unearthed by MACC. Now according to this blog the Police are following suit and calling in Zorro  a fellow blogger to answer a few questions over a cup of coffee hmmm. Malaysia is indeed going through some pretty interesting times dont you think so…….

Zorro’s date with the police tomorrow

November 3, 2009

Zorro called me about 6 o’clock this evening to say that he had been summoned to appear at the police commercial crime division near the Bank Negara train station tomorrow afternoon at 3pm.

Seems they want to question him on something that was posted on his blog. Don’t know what at this time

This old @*+% and I probably disagree on more things than that which we agree on.

One thing, though, that we share in common.

We will not tolerate any attempt by the authorities to silence the dissenting voices in civil society.

Ashok and I will accompany Zorro as his solicitors tomorrow when he attends at the police HQ.

Would be nice if the many of you who have urged Zorro by your comments on his blog to continue with his writings would make the time to be there to show solidarity with our friend in his hour of need.

MACC-”Catch,Catch,Catch-CHARGE THEM..!!”

Let no stones be left unturned and I will get you one day. The following words were uttered by a young investigative officer when he first joined the ICAC Hong Kong. He was taught  the very basics of being paid for a hard days work as a civil servant and today there is even a movie in honour of his legacy. At that time the corruption index of Hong Kong was amongst the highest in the world. Today it can proudly stand and be counted that they have managed to bring it downvery low.

In Malaysia  BN/Pakatan legislators or whoever crosses the line in white collar crime must be hauled up and there must be no distinction. Before even posting this breaking news I came across this article and it got my mind working overtime in Susan Loones blog  Journos, investigate this please

So this  news is timely says some analysts as there must be a start somewhere to clean up this corrupt practise which is hampering the progress of the country. Is it..? You will certainly have your own opinions and we posts this for all.

The Malaysiakini article:- 

Some 100 people, including Umno parliamentarians, have gathered outside the Shah Alam Sessions Court this morning as graft charges were about to be slapped on Sabak Bernam MP Abd Rahman Bakri and four others.
Apart from Abd Rahman (left), the others are a former aide to Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim, a company director, the Rahman’s special aide and the special assistant to a Selangor executive councillor.

About 10 of Abd Rahman’s Umno colleagues from Parliament are in court to show support.

Among them are Halimah Mohd Sadique (Tenggara), Noraini Ahmad (Parit Sulong), Mohd Nor Othman (Hulu Terengganu), Mohamad Shahrum Osman (Lipis), Ahmad Hamzah (Jasin), and Hamim Samuri (Ledang) and Salleh Kalbi (Silam).

Halimah said that the MPs were representives of the Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club.

According to her, about 70 Umno supporters from Sabak Bernam are outside the court.

It is believed that the former aide to MB Khalid to be charged is Mohd Yahya Mat Sahri, whose lawyer is Yusmadi Yusoff, who is also PKR Balik Pulau MP.

Court proceedings have been held up due to the need to make multiple copies of the charge sheets, which is a requirement in Shah Alam courts.

Two charges against Wong

At 12 noon, Wong Chuan How, 50, the special assistant to Selangor executive councillor Ronnie Liu, was brought into court and charged with making a false claim to the Sepang Municipal Council amounting RM2,500 in the purchase of flags to be use for cars.

Wong is also charged with criminal breach of trust of RM5,000 for a cheque entrusted to him.

The MACC prosecutor has asked for bail to be set at RM16,000, but Sessions judge Syafeera Mohd Said fixed it at RM10,000.

Liu, who is in court, said MACC had launched investigations into 20 Selangor state representatives, where their files were seized.

“Wong is the first one, but he may not be the last,” he said.

Wong represented by four lawyers, to be led by Cha Kee Chin, who is also Bukit Kepayang state rep from Negri Sembilan.

“2+3=8″..Complications of Sarawak

The whole weekend Marina was the focal point of every conversation in all corners of Sarawak. However what is most puzzling is that according to a parent,”How come Federal Officers or Ministers are so quiet on this issue? Our Ministers can harp and shout their voices hoarse from the longhouses rooftops but it will be too no avail. There seems to be a deafening calm and silence.

The headlines by Minister Of Land Development James Masing in the local Borneo Posts should be commended. His children are also mixed and they cannot run away from it. The whole story can be read by HERE. Out of curiosity what has happen to the some of the other Sarawak Federal Members of Parliament who should be making their voices heard now in Parliament on this issue.Only a handful dares to make their presence felt. Do we need to tell them that 2+3 does not equal to 8 before they come out of their cocoon shells/caves to fight for their own people. Are they so afraid of stepping on the WRONG  TOES..??

Do we need to tell them what to do? Can’t they organise themselves to be heard in a Press Conference in Parliament or get a signed Memorandum to deliberate on this issue. There is a serious need to look into this matter as PM Najibs “slogan 1 Malaysia” is but another rhetoric and going astray. In Sarawak one can say if you throw a COIN IN THE AIR IT WILL BOUND TO HIT A PERSON OF MIXED PARENTAGE. It’s not funny though as this issue will singularly bring down the Government of the Day.

Sarawak is the Bastion of BN Government with 30 out of 31 Parlaiamentary seats and 62 out of 71 State seats. It’s already out in the open now and the can of worms are wriggling free. The opposition have been harping on NCR issues in Sarawak,corruption,cronyism,abuse of powers,Penan rape cases  “To me, all these reports are not true” and many others and BUT ULTIMATEDLY THIS IS THE BIGGEST SINGULAR THORN THAT WILL INFLICT THE CORE  DAMAGE TO THE INVICIBILITY OF THE BN.

BN strategists will say to their respective bosses no way ,no way,no way but when it happens that the results are not as expected and there is a sudden shift of voters attitude the amount of $$$$$$ to bring them back in terms of development it will be a little too late. Some opposition leaders are at their little corner of their constituencies giggling and rubbing their hands with delight.

According to a number of analysts  BN should not be HOLED UP with this issue as Marina is tantamount and likened to be God’s Gift to the opposition. There are hundreds and thousands who are not accorded this status but are now saying,”If only Marina had appeared earlier…her grades are so much better than ours and she has made the right noises. “

A close aide to James Masing said that the boss sees no other choice available to him but to confront the ISSUE OF MARINA headon as the Bumiputras in Sarawak are looking beyond this statement which James said,” It’s not just education we are talking about here,”. Now its up to the Fedral authorities to stand up and get their hands dirty or else it will be sooner rather than later the people will turn against the BN Governance.

2+3 equals 5 but we do make it a little too complicated at times for this country to move forward.  A chinese friend who had dinner with me said in jests,” Now we CHINESE can call ourselves Cinaputra.We dont want any complications now do we…hik hik hik ????

Muhyddin..”What next on the Application Papers..??”

My better halfs uncle who is English was very angry when he was told of Marina’s issue. His first words was ,”Didn’t I tell you that we finished our 100 meters race 100 years ago. Here in Malaysia there is still in mosts government application forms a column for RACE. No Need for all this nonsense. I am married to a Bidayuh and does my children need to fill in their race in forms when they enter the British universities. Oh yea..!! British /Bidayuh he said sarcastically.

On one hand its triggered a very big response in Sarawak in the mass media,internet blogs and mosts of all a very “HOT TOPIC” in the coffeeshops. Even this report from

• Sarawak update has,”Bumiputera Issue: BN youth showdown in Miri.
• Borneo posts headlined,” Marina ,you are not ALONE “
•  Internet blog Hornbill Unleashed  headlined its part with this,”The Ministry of Higher Discrimination: are Sarawakians third class citizens? 
• Internet portal Malaysian Mirror,”From Marina to Daniel

Where and When will this stop? Do we blame our local ADUNS or MPS for not doing their required duties?If we continue to point fingers it will never ever end. There must be a solution and someone in the top hierarchy/corridors of power must put a stop to this. An Iban  friend of mine who is married to a Chinese said to me without even thinking,”Why we just emigrate and I dont think the government  cares .?

Two arguments here in that he is already fedup with the government policies or he has given up completely and being professionals their children will  have a better chance of a good education as their grades permit them to pursue their dreams of having quality life after they graduate.

Malaysia is half a century old(above 50 years) and we still have a RACE COLUMN IN MOST FORMS. This must be gotten rid as this will only hamper the progress of the country as it works itself towards a developed nation by 2020. With more outflow of brains to other countries like what my Iban friend has this would be very serious for the country. In time we will only have HALF BAKED/HALF COOKED BRAINS left in the country.

It’s time the system rids itself of priveleges/preference /priorities especially for education. There are no second chances if you cannot keep up. You only have to blame yourselves if you fail to make the grades. Our almighty creator gave us BRAINS AND IF WE ARE LAZY we pay for it. Race is not an issue here. No one is stupid by all counts and each of us has a GOD GIVEN  talent to ensure that our country MALAYSIA is not left behind in all aspects. Those who are smart are not necessarily good business man and vice versa. Well,do not need to give a lecture here.

So what is next Malaysia? Bumiputra is not a religion and it should never ever be used to differentiate the priveleges accorded to anyone who is Malaysian. There are so many wrongs that needs to be put right and mosts people in Sarawak have to thank Marina. There are always something or someone who sparks it off and thank God for Marina.

“PKR Housekeeping..?”

It’s a fact says a PKR member.Read my lips….,’Before 308 not many maybe a few lah..!! only would give PKR or the opposition candidates a  chance to be even near the corridors of the DUN or Parliament Building. Today there are so many YBs and MPs in the opposition camps that disagreements/dissatisfaction are bound to happen. Some are even now thinking so highly of themselves that they even can go against the person who give them a chance in the first place.{ cutting the hand that feeds them} 

You see what is happening in PKR now is similar to what has happened in PBB which saw many holding on or swept away by the currents/traps on offer. Today PBB is under a very tight leash and PKR will experience all this as a lot of the new found members were former Barisan Man/women.

It’s like the song by singer and songwriter Carol Connors and late Sudirman Arshad’Malaysia’s Singing Ambassador’ with the his powerful voice behind,” To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia“. How many of PKR members can sing to the song,’Satu Perjuangan…??” Can you….hmmm

Simple if you know what we mean by ” TO KNOW MALAYSIA IS TO LOVE MALAYSIA” Party members all have their ups and downs with the party they represent and be it BN or Pakatan there are always infighting stuggles,jealousies,dislikes and backstabbing to be recognised by the top leadership. One has to love his own party and know the partys struggles and vision before he can seriously consider himself/herself a true blooded party member. If its just for the quick gains just forget it and be a Businessman or better a CON MAN.  

The voters will sooner and not later smell the foul smell of certain YBS/MPS who are not up to their marks. Maybe some of them forget the hallmarks of an EFFECTIVE PEOPLES REPRESENTATIVE..PKR housekeeping..no,no,no its the countrys housekeeping…

• Being the Best
• Faith in God
• Sense of Mission
• Emotional Maturity
• Proactive Stance
• High Integrity
• Balance in Life
• Willingness to learn
• Humility with self -esteem 
• Compassion for Others 

We should look beyond the resignations of  PKR Badrul Hisham Selangor YB or the defections of PKR/DAP legislators in Perak and the resignations of other top leaders in Sabah. It just clearly shows that everyone has a shelf life and if they do not use the PLATFORMS accorded to them its their own failings.

BN during the early years also have their archilles heels and they also went through a political engineering process. Pakatan will be no different but whether the people who voted for them are willing to give them another chance in the next GE13 is yet to be seen.

That will be another article to write but for now there are too many political upheavals not only in PKR but also in MCA,MIC which will indirectly affect the countrys economy. The people who are supposed to be running the country and making decisions are all caught up in too much politiking as if the economy of Malaysia is so healthy that they are not needed.

Many are captains of industries and professionals in their own right but they have too little time for even harnessing the economy through troubled waters. Their motto on life reads{ Politics and Territorial Gains first the rests of the country can wait.}

The PKR member quoted a phrase to us and said this,’ The struggle of any nation in its successive generations is a structure that rises one stone upon another.” So whats wrong with PKR housekeeping as we need to weed out the thorns that are still pricking us after 1 and half years from a successful outing in GE12. Do you agree…???

Muhyddin”Headlines Borneo Posts Sarawak..READ”

Sarawak “mixed” blood children of all races had a very rude awakening with the headlines in Borneo Posts,’ Being mixed is no privilege“. Their voices could be heard all the way to the Borneo Posts office and even a leading journalists said a former Asst.Minister from SUPP complained bitterly over the article. Why is it happening now of all times..? Why,Why ,Why..??

The reason why audie61 took up this matter is that there are a number of us here who are of mixed race be it Iban/Chinese ,Melanau/Chinese, Bidayuh/Chinese, Kadazan/Chinese.

This is the statement that rocketted the staff  sky high….,” Iban-Chinese schoolgirl in limbo over Bumi status; ministry ascertains her as non-native, throws out application to do matriculation.” (Sarawak update story in Bahasa Malaysia)

Moreover DPM your statement in page 3 of Borneo Posts had this. “in the quest for development and prosperity we must not only upgrade access to education but also expand access to quality education.”

A number of parents of mixed blood children  informed audie61 that if the Federal and State leaders are on one hand promoting 1Malaysia as advocated by PM Najib and religiously followed by all in BN this is completely the opposite. Where is the 1 MALAYSIAN SPIRIT then…??

This is going to be a field day in terms of another debatable issue and self -inflicted PROPAGANDA for the opposition parties. BN needs to tread carefully on this as I’m sure there are thousands of mixed blood children who are VOTERS and also in power in Sarawak. Do we need to tell you WHO….??? Guess,guess,guess…………..

“Perak Chronicles-A Hollywood Script..??”

If a Hollywood script writer was to write about this chronicles he will not only be confused but also puzzled. It seems the democratic rights of  the people in Perak are being challenged by the legislators themselves. Is there an END to all this.? Surely,only a  SNAP ELECTIONS in the Perak State can stop this from deteriorating further into a complete mess of Democracy. It’s  Perak ’s call and we can only sit and watch and tickle ourselves silly.

Consider this movie show: Firstly there is the appointment of Senators:-BN proposing Datuk Azian Osman while Pakatan Osman Abdul Rahman.There are 2 sittings chaired by2 Speakers Ganesan and Sivakumar and both sides of the political divide with at least 20 ADUNs(legislators) on each side.Exact numbers 31-28.  BN and Pakatan holding 2 separate proceedings. You tell me what the hell is going on? It certainly is beyond REPAIR and DEMOCRACY is surely the loser here.

audie61 copied this from internet portal Malaysiakini on the sequence of events for you to make your own judgement. We have said our PARTY PIECES and its your call the readers out there in cyberspace.

11.45am: Pakatan reps left the House after Sivakumar adjourned their sitting. They are now holding a press conference in the library, located near the chamber.

11.30am: Ganesan’s statements were met with Pakatan jeers, but he ignored this.

At the same time, Sivakumar is addressing ‘his’ assembly.

Effectively, two concurrent sittings are taking place in the House, with motions being ‘passed’ simultaneously, including one approving the state budget.

11.20am: The BN sitting resumed amidst much noise from the opposition bench although their mics have been turned off.

The rivals are exchanging banter, with Pakatan’s refrain being : “Speaker haram sila keluar.”

Ganesan ordered civility, threatening to take action against unruly members. Still, each time a BN member speaks, the Pakatan bench responds with jeers.

11.05am: Sivakumar has adjourned the Pakatan ’sitting’.

11.00am: Nizar tabled a motion to suspend all National Service camps and other outdoor co-corriculum activities in light of the Kampar tragedy, pending the outcome of investigations. This was unanimously ‘approved’.

He then spoke on the findings of the 2008 Auditor-General’s Report, saying that his administration had done well (during its 10-month tenure in Perak). He recorded his thanks to the auditor-general and all government departments.

10.55am: Police have chased off about 80 supporters outside the building, back behind the security tape. The supporters obliged, but are taunting the cops, with some shouting: “1 Malaysia, 2 Perak, 3 Katak!”

One held up the front page of the Sin Chew Daily today to display the headline on the ‘1 Malaysia programme’ tragedy.

10.45am: Sivakumar started the Pakatan sitting with a doa, although he is sitting at the Tronoh seat.

He asked for a minute’s silence on the Kampar tragedy and this was observed, despite some BN reps shouting “tadi dah buat”.

Sivakumar and colleagues retorted: “Itu speaker haram yang buat.”

Nizar asked to speak, but his mic was turned off.

Ganesan has not acted on this, while BN reps are ignoring the speeches. They are walking about and talking, appearing to pretend that their rivals are not in the House.

10.35am: Sivakumar took his seat on the opposition bench.

Chang Lih Kang (PKR-Teja) turned on his microphone, saying: “Speaker haram, sila keluar dewan.”

Ganesan attempted to say that he had adjourned the session until 11.30am, but was ignored by Pakatan members.

A Sivasubramaniam (DAP-Buntong) stood to explain why
Ganesan is the ‘unlawful’ speaker. Pakatan colleaguues responded with repeated thumping of their tables to express approval of his points.

Ganesan remained in the chair, rubbing his chin with his left hand.

10.22am: Pakatan reps finally entered the House, deriding the speaker even before taking their seats.

Comments were heard: “Wah! Speaker haram, bodyguard banyak”; and “Woi, Ganesan pakai sari lebih baik lah!”

10.20am: Ganesan adjourned the sitting to 11.30am.

10.15am: Menteri Besar Zambry Abd Kadir has begun the budget speech. There is still no sign of opposition members.

Outside the building, however, there was drama.

A police team led by Ipoh OCCI Anthony Glenn was accused of blocking the Pakatan reps from entering the House several times and of roughing up some of them.

Pasir Panjang rep Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin told reporters that they were blocked even before they could take the lift.

Sivakumar claimed that the police had grabbed his songkok, but did not succeed in taking away his robe.

The reps re-entered the building after the press conference, but Sivakumar re-emerged with Jalong rep Leong Mee Meng – this time, he was not wearing the robe.

“They grabed my robe and beat up a few reps inside the building” he claimed.

10.05am: Ganesan began with announcements, stressing the ban on the use of visual recording devices and mobile phones in the House. The sergeant-at-arms has been authorised to confiscate these items.

He said additional sergeants-at-arms have been deployed – at least 22 are in the House – to prevent a repeat of the ruckus at the May 7 sitting.

The House observed a minute’s silence over the tragedy in Kampar on Monday night, in which 1 student drowned after a suspension bridge collapsed. There is still no sign of opposition members.

10.00am: The session started with the doa, after the sergeant-at-arms brought in the mace.The opposition bench remains empty, with speculation being that Pakatan representatives are still going through the screening procedures.

9.50am: All Pakatan representatives are now in the building after going through two police check-points.

Aulong representative Yew Tian Hoe, who is disabled, was driven to the building. He was wearing a black t-shirt with the slogan Bubar Dun (Dissolve the assembly), but there was a coat on a hanger in the car.

“This is to express my protest,” he told reporters.

In the House, Ganesan is in the speaker’s chair, flanked by about 20 individuals wearing jackets. The BN bench is full, but the opposition bench is empty.

9.45am: Pakatan representatives have started marching from DAP headquarters to the state secretariat building; Sivakumar is wearing the speaker’s robe

9.40am: Thorough checks underway with the use of metal detectors, on bags carried by journalists

9am: Still no sign of any crowd but elected representatives are slowly trickling into the state secretariat.

Among the first to arrive were DAP state chief Ngeh Koo Ham and Thomas Su but were prevented from entering the building, leading to an argument with the police. The police relented and allowed them in.

“It’s a shame and a mockery for police to block us,” said Ngeh.

Earlier report:

Police have thrown a cordon around the Perak state secretariat in Ipoh for today’s budget sitting.

The sitting was called by both the Barisan Nasional speaker R Ganesan and Pakatan Rakyat speaker V Sivakumar.

Ganesan replaced Sivakumar under questionable circumstances during the last assembly sitting in May.

With Pakatan continuing to dispute the legitimacy of the BN state government, the police are expecting tension-filled proceedings today.

In anticipation of trouble, the police obtained a court order late yesterday to bar people from gathering within 50m of the state secretariat building where the legislative assembly is located.

The order took effect from 1am today and is valid up to 11pm on Friday.

Early this morning at least eight trucks, one van, two jeeps, two Federal Reserve Unit trucks and two water cannon were deployed just outside the state secretariat.

The first police vehicle arrived about 6.20am. Several police personnel have also been placed inside the building.

By 7am, police personnel had put up barricades and barbed wire to prevent unauthorised access. Some 450 police personnel are on standby.

The sitting is due to start at 10am but the main gate to the building will open at 9am.

BN elected representatives will be allowed into the House from 9.30am, while Pakatan assemblypersons will be admitted from 9.55am – apparently to prevent them from grabbing the speaker’s chair.
