Now that the Umno General Assembly is over, let us move on to a couple more serious and important events.

Samy V calls his Bukit Selambau man ‘a worthy choice.’  so we’re to support the MIC?

With Datuk Seri Najib Razak all set to be sworn in as the sixth Prime Minister on Friday, all stops are off for a Najib crackdown – the latest being the ban on a Mongolian name, Altantuya Shariibuu, from public discourse.

Make no mistake about it. Rosmah Mansor, the wife of Najib Razak, has made the necessary preparations for his husband to be sworn in as Malaysia’s sixth Prime Minister scheduled on this Friday.

In a poll conducted in this blog in January which ran for a week, readers were asked to give their response to the question “Should Pak Lah stay on as PM or make way for Najib?”.

A certain blogger has it that the Bukit Gantang by-election is really a contest between Anwar and the Sultan.

Media Perdana PEMBOHONG... oleh itu untuk mendapatkan maklumat yang tepat dan terkini dari pilihanraya kecil DUN N25 Bukit Selambau silalah layari laman-laman web dan blog-blog di bawah.

Don’t imagine even for one moment that SPR’s decision to fix all three by-elections simultaneously was an independent decision, without any consideration of the best interests of their political masters.

The in-thing nowadays seems to be the phrase “social contract”. Every Tom Dick, hairy or otherwise, seems to be so well versed with this subject. You make a bit of noise about the Federal Constitution and you would be referred to the “social contract”. You question a teeny wee bit about equality and you would surely be referred to the “social contract”. I think the next time somebody cuts you off in a traffic jam, you should shout “social contract” at that socially inept moron!

A certain blogger has it that the Bukit Gantang by-election is really a contest between Anwar and the Sultan.

Clearly, this blogger, whilst steeped in experience in the media industry, having served  UMNO-owned and controlled newspapers for a long, long time, does not quite appreciate the divisions of power within our constitutional set up.

Umno/BN leaders in Perak are mortally afraid of the Democracy Tree under which the Perak State Assembly convened on March 3, 2008 although the Perak Speaker and the overwhelming majority of the Perak Assembly members were locked out of the Perak State Assembly in the State Secretariat building by an illegal and usurper Mentri Besar and State Executive Council.

1. Rumah Beranda remains isolated

Rumah Beranda Aluk, Nanga Bengap which is about 15 km from the main road is little known longhouse as no VVIPs has ever visited it. Except for Jawah Gerang who visited the longhouse three times already and the late Dublin Unting visited the longhouse once only during his years as YB.

Dalam pemilihan ke jawatan yang tinggi dalam UMNO baru-baru ini, ramai orang kalah mendapat tempat.

Whilst many observers a.k.a non-UMNO members are being pessimistic with the promises of Najib, the new party president and future Prime Minister has urged the public to 'judge him by his actions' [source]. One might already attribute the recent Perak constitutional saga as the basis for such judgement but the biggest concern for the future of Malaysia, I believe, lies not only on one man but the whole lot he would be leading into the future.

Did I hear someone ask, ‘What nagging questions?’.

How about these, for starters?

I congratulate Ustaz Sheikh Mahmud for bringing Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi and Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim together recently for a luncheon honoring Prophet Muhammad’s birthday.

Left home early and arrived at Sek. Men. Teknik Sg. Petani around 7.20 a.m. The first thing I noticed is the huge presence of police. There must be at least 70 police vehicles of all kinds.

Salah satu perkara yang bakal dijadikan bahan kempen di Bukit Gantang sudah pasti isu "derhaka" dan "kedaulatan raja".

A TAMIL-TYPE movie is being staged in the Bukit Selambau State Assembly by-election.

Hari penamaan calun PRK P059 Bkt Gantang bejalan lancar dengan sedikit huru hara sewaktu saya dan isteri bersama-sama pimpinan PAS lain memasuki pintu pagar dewan perbanadaran Taiping jam 8.45pagi.

Police said Karpal took the wrong route and thats why his car was pelted with water bottle. I wonder why do the police issue such statement when in fact they are responsible for safety of everybody.

Mulai hari ini kira - kira 7,000 topeng eksklusif Altantuya mencari pembunuh akan mula di edarkan di dua bukit.

1. 'Satu lawan satu'

Jawah Gerang (pic, right) of PKR is facing Malcolm Mussen of Barisan Nasional in the Batang Ai by-election announced on Thursday.

Di Malaysia , seolah-olah sudah menjadi satu tradisi atau kebiasaan, kesusahan dan kesulitan hidup penduduk hanya akan terbela sekiranya wakil rakyat , samada Ahli Parlimen atau Ahli DewanUndangan Negeri di tempat itu meletak jawatan atau meninggal dunia.

Due to climate chaos wreaking havoc to Santa’s North Pole winter detection system, he has mistakenly set out to balmy Asia ahead of schedule.

Speaker has the power to reject my adjournment speech to be delivered in the State Assembly if he found that issues raised were ‘seditious’ and advise me accordingly.

The Opposition Have An Inherent Fear of Najib - By Matthias Chang

Prior to and during the last General Elections, Malaysia Today came out with guns blazing exposing the hidden agendas of Khairy and his “corrupt practices” and other political sins.

Almost all BN politicians had begun downplaying expectations as the Kuala Terengganu campaign began. And now, we see exactly the same thing! Perhaps we can look forward to the same result :P :)

The Barisan Rakyat blogging team got into Taiping yesterday around 3pm, complete with our new look.

... HERE'S A FORETASTE OF THINGS TO COME. (03)

Much has been said about the coup d'etat in Perak these last several weeks and it saddens one's heart to see so much anger and hatred being expressed. I guess you cannot blame them, after all this is not something that happens everyday – in fact it has never happen before in our whole entire history since Independence!

A straight fight between BN’s Malcolm Mussen vs PRK’s Jawah Gerang
