Gila Babi betul Braheng Katak ni... Posted: 19 Jun 2011 03:05 AM PDT Hmm...dapat pulak permit mangkok ni??Ibrahim raises spectre of May 13 at anti-Bersih rally launchBy Yow Hong ChiehJune 19, 2011Ibrahim: If the Bersih rally is not cancelled...I believe the Chinese community will have to stock up on food.KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — Perkasa kicked off its Bersih 2.0 counter-protest here in Kampung Baru today by burning images of Bersih chairman Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan and issuing a warning to the Chinese to stays indoors as "anything could happen".Perkasa Datuk Ibrahim Ali, who earlier appointed himself "war general", said if electoral reform coalition Bersih goes through with its July 9 rally, he will not be held responsible for any untoward incidents that may occur."Imagine if chaos erupts. If the Bersih rally is not cancelled...I believe the Chinese community will have to stock up on food," he told some 500 supporters at Kelab Sultan Sulaiman here."Yes, anything can happen. And so I ask the police to act and use whatever powers are at their disposal."PR component parties and activists are gearing up to march on July 9 in the second such rally by election watchdog Bersih.The first rally in 2007 saw up to 50,000 people take to the streets of the capital, where they were dispersed by police armed with tear gas and water cannon.The 2007 rally has been credited for the PR's record gains in Election 2008, where the opposition pact was swept to power in five states and won 82 parliamentary seats.PAS has promised to bring some 300,000 protestors this year in hopes that it will galvanise support for the opposition in the next general election, expected to be called within a year.Perkasa has pledged 20 buses from each of the 10 peninsular Malaysian states, in addition to supporters from 164 other non-governmental organisations. Umno Youth has also said it will march on July 9 to counter the Bersih rally.MORE TO COME |

The greatest mistake Malaysian has made was to make Mahathir as PM... Posted: 19 Jun 2011 01:12 AM PDT Abuses due to centralisation of power in PM, says Ku LiBy Shannon TeohKUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, who was once close to being prime minister, has blamed the centralisation of power in the office of the prime minister for what he called abuses of power and a decline in democracy.The former finance minister (picture) said that this has led to a loss of faith in the national economy, as seen from the reported RM880 billion in capital flight since the 1980s."It would not have happened in those days. But with the centralisation of power in the office of the prime Minister who had the party under his absolute control, anything was possible!" he said in a speech in Taiping last night, referring to the 1960s when Tunku Abdul Rahman served as Malaysia's first prime minister.The Umno veteran, who has challenged for the ruling party's presidency three times but failed, said there was a "deliberate plan to centralise power in the leadership in a surreptitious manner. Unfortunately the nature of racial politics blinded us of the reality behind certain policies and conduct of leaders at that time.""The decline of democracy, the abuse of power, the mismanagement of our economy and the nation's finances... led to the flight of capital in the region of RM880 billion over the years from the 1980s... the centralisation of power in the office of the Prime Minister and the Attorney General had a major role in this state of affairs," the Kelantan prince said.The Gua Musang MP called on Malaysians to reassert "the concept of social obligation and public service in those who seek political office. Power is duty, not a prize."The Najib administration allocated RM18.14 billion for the Prime Minister's Department for the year 2011, almost double the RM10.2 billion for last year.The allocation amounted to 8.55 percent out of the RM212 billion Budget 2011. |
