NO HOLDS BARRED

Oh, no! Not another ‘stupid’ article from RPK. Sheesh…….it’s getting to be very boring. If it’s not about Altantuya, it’s about stupid this or stupid that.
Yes, I pre-empted what you are going to say and said it first. So there!
But that is just the thing. It is about race. And if you thought it is about anything else then you are plain dumb and deserve to be called stupid.
Oh, I forgot, I am talking about what happened in Ipoh today. And what happened in Ipoh is about race. It is about ensuring that the Malays do not lose political power. And, as far as Perak is concerned, as far as Umno is concerned, Perak has fallen into the hands of the Chinese.
Did DAP not win the most number of seats in Perak? And is not DAP a Cina-Kominis party that wishes to see the end of Ketuanan Melayu and the New Economic Policy and wishes to replace it with Meritocracy and a Malaysian-Malaysia? And is this not what Lee Kuan Yew also propagates for Singapore? And is not Singapore persecuting and discriminating against Malays? Are not Malays serving in the Singapore Armed Forces not allowed to even carry guns because the Chinese do not trust them? And is not Singapore the enemy of Malaysia who is illegally occupying Malay land that the British robbed from the Johor Sultanate?
Did PKR not win the second highest number of seats in Perak? And is not PKR a non-race-based party that wishes to see the end of Ketuanan Melayu and the New Economic Policy and wishes to replace it with Meritocracy and Ketuanan Malaysia? Are not only half the PKR Wakil Rakyat Malays while the other half are Chinese and Indians?
Did PAS not win the least number of seats in Perak? And is not PAS an Islamic party that classifies Ketuanan Melayu and the New Economic Policy as nationalism and discrimination and therefore haram (forbidden) -- and does it not support DAP and PKR in opposing Ketuanan Melayu and the New Economic Policy? Is not PAS the boneka (puppet) of DAP, and although the Menteri Besar is from PAS, DAP actually pulls the strings from behind the scenes?
Yes, that is what it is all about. That is why Pakatan Rakyat must be kicked out of Perak at all costs. That is why fairness, legality and the Constitution are no longer crucial. In the fight to uphold Malay Supremacy, fairness, legality and the Constitution must take a back seat. The ends justify the means. It is not how you play the game. It is winning, by hook or by crook, by fair means or foul, that counts.
If it were in Kelantan, Umno would not have dared do what it did in Perak today. If Umno tried to do the same thing in Kelantan as what it did in Perak today, blood would have flowed on the streets of Kota Bharu. By now, Kota Bharu would be under curfew. Widows would be claiming bodies at the mortuary and new orphans would be created. The plainclothes police officers in songkok would not have been able to drag the Speaker out of the State Assembly like a drunken cowboy in a Hollywood Western movie.
Did you see how the police officers dragged Siva out of the State Assembly? I did. And they were able to drag him out in such an undignified manner because he is an Indian-Hindu from Perak. If he had been a Malay-Muslim from Kelantan, they would never have done that in a million years. They do and parangs would fly. Heads of the Umno dogs would be scattered all over the roads of Kota Bharu.
Do I sound racial? Do I sound violent? Well, I hope so. Because that is exactly what it is all about. I do not mince my words. I do not hold my punches. This column is called No Holds Barred. And my article is therefore no holds barred.
I am disappointed about today. I am disappointed not because of what Umno did. I expected that from Umno. I knew that Umno would do that. What I am disappointed about is that Pakatan Rakyat did not hold their ground. Siva was dragged out of the State Assembly like a sack of potatoes. Yet no one did anything. No one jumped in and gave those goons a hard bash on the head.
I am also disappointed because the crowd was not a crowd. The people on the ground were mostly from out of Perak. Many were Bloggers and civil society movement activists. But they were not locals. They were not Perakians. Where were the local Perakians? They were not around. If they want to argue they could not get through because of the police roadblocks, then how could all those out-of-towners get through, in spite of the roadblocks?
There should have been blood spilled, today, in the Perak State Assembly. Violence must be met with violence. There is no other way. If they want to talk, then we talk. But if they want to use violence, then we match them with violence. And they violently dragged Siva out of the Perak State Assembly.
Siva should have been allowed to exit on his feet. Instead, he was dragged and thrown out like a drunken wino. Is that how a Speaker should be treated? Well, if he were Malay that would never have happened. If it were in Kelantan that would never have happened. But because he is an Indian from Perak then it can happen. And it did happen.
And you know what the icing on the cake is? Raja Nazrin graced the whole fiasco. He gave legitimacy to the entire circus in Ipoh today. His presence gave legality to what should have been illegal. Raja Nazrin’s decision to play along with Umno has hurt the Monarchy badly. It will take a long time for the Monarchy to recover from what happened in Perak today. In fact, it may never recover.
Raja Nazrin has just launched the debate on whether it is time that Malaysia abolishes the Monarchy and turns this country into a Republic. Yes, the Republic of Malaysia. I like the sound of that. I think I shall go along with that.
That is what Perak was all about, today. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Repeat after me: It’s all about race, stupid!

I'm a Malay and I'm not protected by this thuggery and height of immorality. The fact is that Perak is not about Malays or their supremacy. It is about a cruel ruler whose fear for God is too, too shallow indeed, a cruel regime led by the world's most scandal ridden politician and a tainted IGP, AG and CJ scratching each others back. It is about that not the Malay farmers and the poor women and men of Malaysia.

Well said. The Sultans, viewed by the other races, has always been a symbol for the Malay. Not Malaysia Malaysian. We need to change into a Republic and only then can we finally get rid of this concept of Ketuana Melayu. All Malaysians should be able to unite behind a common figure of head regardless of race or religion. Nice Idea, but whether it would happen or not peacefully is hard to tell. Those in power would always want things to remain the same. Hence, the current situation where UMNO is trying to hang onto the power with all means necessary. This crisis has shown what they would do, throwing out the speaker by all means. Jailing people that wears black. Your observation about Perakians not attending is indeed somber, perhaps Perakians like most Malaysians are afraid to stand up against the authority. Its not a surprise, most people are still afraid. Perhaps we should organise a national day of mourning, since May 13th is coming up. Lets all wear Black again on MAy 13th to remember the racial riots we should never have gone back to.

I know where you're coming from, Pete, and I share your feelings. As for blood on the streets, I must say I'm relieved none was spilled today - and that even those who were detained were released hours later. Not making excuses for the PDRM but if these were New Jersey cops, quite a few skulls would have been smashed today. As thigs went, I'm glad there are many cops who still have a shred of humanity in their hearts - to make up for those few who, like a pack of starving hyenas, attacked and killed Kugan while he was in police custody.
For 22 years I lived in a Malaysia ruled by Dr M and, though I have little that's positive to say about the man, I was able to do what I wanted by keeping my nose out of politics. It's only after Ops Lalang that I got drawn into monitoring politics more closely. Given a choice of violent change in the next few days... or gentle change over the next few months... I'd opt to be a little more patient.
It's easy for me to wait, since I am not living in exile like you or in fear of imprisonment like Anwar... but it's clear that Najib & Co have fallen back into tried and tested iron-fist formulas they learned from the incurable Dr M. Your revelation of who passed you detailed info on Altantuya's murder and how JJ was sent by Pink Lips to put you on the Umno payroll was every bit as explosive as your June 18 2008 SD... yet, there has been no official response. Instead, Tuya's 31st birthday was celebrated by a series of heavy-handed arrests.
With every desperate and reactionary move, Umno/BN is sinking deeper into a dark pit of iniquity from which it can never emerge. Methinks the rate of sinking is going to increase. My hope is that within a few more weeks, or perhaps a few more months, Umno/BN will sink so deep you can only see a few songkoks above ground.

Is perak not led by a PAS leader? Is Perak not worthy to defend like Kelantan???

Nothing more than leeches or parasites. Not able to survive on it's own and highly dependent on the commoners to survive. Waste of public funds in feeding them.
They do not uphold justice or democracy and do not expect them to bite the fingers that is feeding them.
Malaysia has to be a Republic to prosper and progress. They are a hindrance and an obstacle to the nation's well being.

RPK, I almost cried when I saw how Sivakumar and PR reps are handled. They were alone. The police, loyalty, legal officers, and state civil servants are all ganged up to forcefully drag the legitimate Speaker out of his chair and hall. There is no democracy and no rule of law. Just BN's law.
Yes, I know the question to seriously consider a Republic of Malaysia may take place when the royalty is such a callous person who completely changed the high-regard mindset of most people for him and his family. Over-throwing the monarchy institution is truly unthinking. But after this debacle, I think the people will start to consider such an option.
What happened in Perak is a royalty-police-civil servant-judges-BN against the people of Malaysia. Can the people take back the rights that belong to them in Malaysia? I really hope so. The next GE is probably the time to know.

I also believe Raja Nazrin Shah in the beginning wasn't too fussy about this racial thing, as he understood, the actual or basic understanding of "Ketuanan Melayu, Hak & Keistimewaan Melayu" wasn't even questioned by the nonMalays all along. (Raja Nazrin in his speeches, articles, (most published in MT) was well received by all races, for months)
So that (beep) Sultan Azlan Shah is the culprit,.... of course, with UMNO the racist party.

Gee Pete - I'm really beginning to like your "Stupid" series .... and this one is quite stupid indeed!
Yes - it was about race, but only partly.
It was more than that.
It was also about pride, power and money.
Also about giving PR a bloody nose for the humiliation it suffered in the last GE. It is about the contempt the elite have for the electorate and democracy, which I wrote about in the aftermath of the 12GE tsunami.
By no means is this the last of it - there'll be more of this sort of subversion in time to come.
And yes - I too was disappointed that Perakians didn't rise to the occassion, and most who turned up were "outsiders".
Oh no - the kiasu fellas were too scared to make their presence felt. They're too concerned about what they eat today, while they sell out their future. Just try promising them lucrative financial rewards should they make a stand - you'll see them clamouring for a chance.
Malaysians are chicken Pete - that's the truth of the matter. They haven't been sodomized enough by the Umno goons.
You can be sure about one thing though - you'll see them on the street in the near future, when the coffers run dry, and their children cry out for food.
Until then, the Umno, PDRM and their "camcas" will rule ....... and the royal office will just rubber-stamp to legitimize it.

You can be sure about one thing though - you'll see them on the street in the near future, when the coffers run dry, and their children cry out for food.
Until then, the Umno, PDRM and their "camcas" will rule ....... and the royal office will just rubber-stamp to legitimize it.

Yes where were the public? Where were Perakians?
All of you were cowards cowards and cowards!!
What, you all thought police might arrest and jail you for no reason? How many of you do you think the police can arrest? 10 people? 100 people? 200 people? Had all of you turned up ala BERSIH and Hindraf's march where 30,000 thronged the capital it would have been a different story today.
Sure, the crowd would not have been able to change the proceedings at the assembly. But surely a larger crowd would have given Raja Nazrin a guilt? Do you think he would still be able to talk about stimulus package and swine flu if 30,000 of you battle blood and bullets outside the Perak building?
The very fact that no demonstration took place outside gave a sense of security to Raja Nazrin that his subjects did not object to the "parliamentary coup", and he went ahead with his swine flu and stimulus package talk.
I guess civil movements and people power are only feasible on-screen like V for Vendetta. No point if there was a Martin Luther King, or a Malcolm X born in this country, or even our own RPK, there is just NO people with spine on their back anymore.
Yes Perakians, because of your cowardly act today, all of you deserve to suffer for the next 2 years till the next election. Talk about karma eh?

What a fantabulous show of "royal wisdom" by Raja Nazrin in officiating an assembly of Gangsters who have total disregard for the law.
Maybe this is what HRH Sultan Azlan Shah meant when he said that "the role of the royalty goes beyond the constitution"!
Very nice job, your royal highness!!!

I asked a friend, who is in Ipoh, whether she went to protest. To which the response was, 'what protest?'. I wasn't sure whether I was angry or sad. The truth is, a lot of people don't care. Either they are too afraid or it's through years of 'successful education' by our government. When I chatted further, she said nobody told her anything. By now, I was almost fuming. Not because she didn't go to the street but that she had allowed herself to be so ignorant. So there you go, half of these people are ignorant and those that are not wouldn't get their hands dirty. May be this is the wiser option, I do hope that their true feelings would be reflected in the next election. That they won't be too forgetful about these events when the economy recovers when they could again pretend that nothing had happened.

I think Pete is right... but not talking, Raja Nazrin has spoken like a thunder. The best illustration of the song by who? ... " you say it best when you say nothing at all"

RPK I agree with you whole-hearted that the Raja Muda role there was just to extend the shelf life expiry date of the Perak assembly thus helping the BN usurpers to stay in power until the next election. Without him there legitimizing the sitting, the state assembly would have to be dissolved by May 14, 2009. Whatever speech the Raja Muda gave on the stimulus package, challenging time, economic slowdown is just a red herring!
The Raja Muda has yet to give his address to open the Perak Assembly sitting when the new speaker was voted in. Yet he endorsed the new speaker. By doing so he is seen to be lending his face to support an illegally appointed speaker and government. Of all person, he should know how legal Zambry can be when he calls for the votes to remove Sivakumar and replace him with Ganesan as the speaker before the assembly is even in session. It is like putting the cart before the horse or jumping the gun even before the race had begun!
It is amusing that Zambry has even thought of making a spare speaker robe for the occasion. But he didn't realise that the swearing in of the new speaker Ganesan has to be done officially by the royalty. By right it should be the deputy speaker who should take the vacant chair. That's the purpose of the deputy, right? If not why appoint a deputy?
Zambry has made the Perak Assembly look like a circus and a farce! Unfortunately, the royalty is also dragged along with him!
After this episode, who still think the royalties are above politics?

Umno and police must not assume the peace loving nature of Malaysians (malay, chinese indians and everyone) can be taken for granted. Push your people to the edge, and revolution is what you will get.
God bless you.

I have never been a violent person in my entire life but being at 40 today, i got so angry watching how the Perak event unfolded that i actually hoped someone would blow the heads of Raja Nazrin and the frogs whom jumped ship in the state assembly.
Nope, it is about power and the privilege to ransack our rights to fill their coffer.
Its only race for the followers but it is all about power and money for those who walks the corridor of power. Malaysians are fed race issues to achieve their objectives. This is how it happens in Pakistan (i know because i have a personal experience) and that is how it is happening Malaysia.
It is indeed a sad day for democracy and Malaysia.

R Hum,
These so called race representatives or bastards are into politics for self enrichment goals only. Only stupid fools would not know this.
Look at them ........... which one is not rich or filthy rich ?
Their children and grand children will have it easy unlike us.
So, wake up, please !

Malaysians cannot run away from the fact that Malaysia is failing, and she is failing faster than we think. We think we can close our eyes let UMNO rule and our problems will go away. But think again, why are we being robbed left right center in broad daylight in the first place, we have almost lost everything, including our freedom, what have we left in this country we can still say we are proud of? We don't owe them anything, where's your courage to stand up for what's right, Malaysian?

Yes, I agree it takes time to awaken the dragon within but we still need some raw muscles. I was at Ipoh and the "police thugs" were overwhelming.... We need to see blood and start a revolt and hopefully to snowball into a revolution... and finally a REPUBLIC.

It is never about Perak Royalties giving the government back or expect UMNO to relinquish their power. Perakians and Malaysian that care should know that going against them with number is the only way but yet we gave in like we have done for more than 50 years. PERAKIANS you deserve BN/UMNO and please drop your pants and let them have a go at it.

The royalty and UMNO know that in GE13, their days are numbered. Do you think they will let the rakyat vote? No... it's inconceivable to them. Before GE13, they will incite racial violence, and mayhem, there will be martial law, and the opposition will be silenced. The evil axis is here, and it's all about money. If our royalty had the dignity of the Thai Royalalty, or the British Mornarchy, I would respect them. Alas, most of us don't even know who the are, and could care even less. Honestly, I can name them or their successor children, or their wife(s). Who is going to be the next Agong.. duh??? I don't know.. I don't really care either. I only want them to be honest, law abiding citizen, and it would be nice to see them pay taxes like the British Monarchy. It's a traditional establishment, Malaysia is rich enough to maintain them, so long as they play their rightful honest role. But UMNO & BN, they need to be abolished. It will be very hard as the authority that operates the government is largely corrupter from the arm forces, to the police to the judiciary. Our hope is that BN/UMNO destroy themselves before GE13.

I am confused with the role of the Monarchy in Malaysia. In Britain our former colonial masters has only 1 sovereign i.e. Queen Elizabeth unlike Malaysia where we have rulers for certain states and governors in some. We have 1 Paramount Ruler i.e the YDP Agong. All citizens of Malaysia are therefore subjects of the ruling king irrespective of which state the Rakyat comes from. If the Rakyat is not happy shouldn't the king also be involved. The Perak fiasco started in February. What I cannot understand is why didn't the king summon the PM and request he resolve the matter at Federal level and try to break the impasse instead of Malaysia being dragged into ridicule like the circus happening in Perak. Remember Malaysia cannot bury its head in the sand and the repercussion on our foreign investment initiatives especially under present economic uncertainties. Don"t let our beloved motherland be another Zimbabwe because of internal politics. I would love to see how the PM (who was responsible for the fiasco in the first place) handle this.

if you put it that way, I'm in agreement.
the problem is that most thugs are bought over
- yes we need "righteous thugs".
But we cannot be calling for the blood of the people just like that.
"Malaysians" have been softened thru plenty of molly coddling - only when they go hungry will they seek "thuggery".
When the pool of downtrodden increases, it will surely happen - and we'll get there with Umno/BN.

There was democratic pretences up until 0308 with the MIC and MCA as merely yes-men but now it has turned out to be downright hooliganism.

So, the one that behaves well will be awarded a bigger chunk by the ruling party...whne I say behave well, I dont mean they cannot club down a caddy or lose some obnoxious amount in foreign Casino or a rape or 2, I mean behaving towards powers that be....so you see....
Inthis case, we are talking bout GAMUDA!!!

I followed the whole drama through anilnetto.com and it made me sick. This is the darkest day in our history. The royalty that is supposed to uphold the rights of the rakyat had remained silent. The debacle happened right in front of the very noses of the royalty and yet the regent condoned it. What a shame. And I had no doubt that the majority of the rakyat will go for a republic if the royalty fail to act. Only the monarch can save the situation and that failed to take place. Do they have the rakyat by their hearts or must the rakyat hold them dear to their hearts? That's the choice and there ain't any takers?

As each day passes, our respect and esteem for you keep rising while that of Raja Nazrin and his father keep going lower. You WILL be proven right. Your fights for justice and democracy WILL end in a lasting win. You WILL go down in Malaysia history as one of its greatest leaders, in the genre of Tengku. The Great Tengku fought for our independence and gave us all pride and a fair and just place under the Malaysian sun. Your fight WILL deliver the country from the tyrannical clutch of the wretched and corrupt UMNO and the morally depraved monarchies such as that of Perak. Tengku gave us Federation of Malaya and later Malaysia. You WILL be giving us the Republic of Malaysia, if the monarchs continue to behave irresponsible.
Raja Nazrin may be a Harvard graduate and his father may be an experienced judge (notice the use of the word "may"). Both their behaviour and conduct do not in any way reflect the esteemed qualifications and experiences they claim to have. They may have won today with the UMNO goons. The day WILL come when Raja Nazrin, not Raja Azlan Shah, will learn the hard way the people's judgement of his father. When the day comes for Raja Azlan Shah to meet his Maker and face the consequences of his unjust and irresponsible act in coniving with the UMNO crooks, his son, Raja Nazrin, will also face the consequences of his father's and his actions. Except for the UMNO goons and MCA and MIC puppets, the rakyat in Perak and the rest of Malaysia will not be grieving. Raja Azlan Shah will go down in history as the ruler whose death was not grieved but celebrated. That's the punishment awaiting Raja Azlan Shah and Raja Nazrin.

Over there, they don't have the quota bullshit. This is a worldwide competition, not some national nonsense. When can we be like them? In our dreams, perhaps.
"A TEAM of three National University of Singapore students has made it to the final round of an international tertiary student competition to develop innovative ideas for the aviation industry.
They will compete for the top spot against four other teams from Australia, the Czech Republic, Spain and the United States.
A total of 225 teams from 82 countries qualified for the first round of the Airbus Fly Your Ideas contest, launched in October last year.
In January, the number of teams in the three-round competition was whittled down to 86, including seven from Singapore.
The NUS team that made it to the top five, Solaire Voyager, came up with a design for an aircraft which runs partially on solar power.
The idea was inspired by hybrid engines in cars and merchant vessels.
Team leader Louis Lee, 27, and teammates Muhammad Adil, 22, and Vignesh Subramaniam, 19, have been meeting on the weekends and sometimes twice a week since the competition began.
The five teams will make their final presentations to a panel of Airbus representatives and industry experts at the Paris Air Show next month.
The top team will win 30,000 euros (S$58,97

I do sense and deeply share your disappointment. However, I believe the PR posse held their dignity by not responding to violence but rather, held their ground in unity and peace, and were steadfast in their conviction of their rightful place in the proceedings.

It is easy for you to talk like this because you are a Malay. The chinese know they are outnumbered and they still remember May13 so they don't want to risk their lives, doesn't mean if they are absent they consent to this unlawful grab.

While we are all angry with the BN and the police and the anak sultan it is also true that PR failed to put up a proper resistance.
Dont blame the perakians for not turning up. These things have to be organised. That's what the PR politicians are supposed to do - organise people. It would not have been difficult to get 100,000 on the streets but someone has to take charge of organising it. That is what was missing.
Also in the assembly it is obvious that PR did not have a game plan. When Siva ordered the BN men out he should have called on the seargent at arms. If they did not respond he should have been ready to appoint fresh seargent at arms. If nothing then he should have immediately called off the sitting and the PR should have left. As it was, the PR just sat there and waited until the BN took the initiative. I am sorry but I think Nizar failed miserably to provide leadership in this just as Anwar, LKS and Hadi failed to provide the masses on the streets.
Wake up you fcuking PR leaders. Dont let us down again.

RPK is right. He should have added that had the Speaker been Chinese, the treatment meted would have been different.
Today, the message to Indians in Malaysia is " Go to hell" because you are a pain and an inconvenience. Better the Indons and Bangladeshis here than you.
Today Malaysia joins the Fiji Club with members from Burma, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe on the Exco.
And it took an Indian from Kerala to start this and now an Indian slumdog pirate from Pangkor plays the role of running dog with a licence tied round his fat neck.
The Rajas in Perak dont realise that the very word Raja comes from India.
Hang you Rajas

But they did try to get him from the policemen, perhaps not good enough to stir a tension that could ignite riot in the house...How I wish those bastards would be quashed by those 27 PR lawmakers.

Dear Pete,
Yes the people should fight back, but instead we prefer
staying in front of PC / reading sms to watch the history
pass by and let it ended that way.
I wonder why Anwar didn't take the lead this time around?
If he had, it will make a difference.
Isn't BN/UMNO want to make it a race issue? and isn't this
a good time for PR and Anwar to show it is not?
Maybe PR want to garner pity votes from the people by showing
how BN bullies others? I don't know, but I really think it is
not BN/UMNO/Najib make our country shame, but is the people
who didn't stand up and let this happened make our country a shame.
If the people continue to just absorb what BN/UMNO/Najib gave,
they will continue to punch us in the face.
A sad day instead, for no m'sian stand up to fight for their rights.

The PDRM committed serious injustice by rough handling the non-Melayu ordinary folks voicing out their rights to freedom and justice.
I quit politics some 25 years ago very frustrated to how this country was moulded by Kerala guy. Till today, believe me, it is all about race, no more no less.
Religion is thicker than blood.

But pardon me my brother, "Janganlah bakar kelambu kerana marahkan nyamuk" Nyamuk yang patut dibunuh disini ialah dua ekor nyamuk Melayu. Dua ekor nyamuk Melayu itu memang pun telah terbukti terbabit dengan virus rasuah.
Kerana nyamuk Melayu sebeginilah meyebabkan rakyat Melayu, pemimpin Melayu dan Raja Melayu akan dipandang lebih hina masa mendatang.
Kenapakah kes mahkamah dua ekor nyamuk Melayu ini tidak boleh dipercepatkan sebagaimana dilakukan terhadap kes mahkamah Nizar-Zambry? Ataupun adakah kes dua ekor nyamuk Melayu ini telah dianggap selesai setelah melompat ke Barisan Nasional?

Welcome to 1-Malaysia Najib World. The problem in Perak actually can be faulted on Sultan Perak with no offence to the ex-Lord President It is just disgusting how the people government was threw out illegally and was removed in such a so stupid way by the greed BN and those 4 bastards traitors. Yet, the Sultan, EC, police choose to side this BN despite knowing it is so wrong even the QC Counsel has said so. I can bet a majority of Perakians hate the Sultan.

GE13 - do you think there will be one when umno knows it will lead to their demise?
Umno will find ways and means to stay in power - that means having to avoid going back to the rakyat.
So what will they do? And wouldn't the rest of the Malaysians just accept it just like the Perakians have. Perakians get and deserve what they have allowed to happen. So will the rest of the Malaysians.

And it will be pointless for the UMNO warlords to shout Ketuanan. What is the use of ketuanan when there is no money in it? So the UMNO slogan of defending the race and religion is all about rights and priviledges which means it is all about money..

Did you people not see how they massed the police in front of the Dewan armed to the teeth? The people are not cowards. It is common sense. There are many ways to skin a cat and one of those is through the ballots. Nothing is forever. History has taught us enough times dictators will meet their just ends.

If a federal govt were to spend RM 20M per state seat by-election, that would have costed about RM 1,200,000 for a state with 60 seats. Should a fresh state election be held this May, despite spending that sum of government's money and a similar sum from Bastards Nazi-onal party coffer, there is mo guarantee they would have a majority win to form a government? Probably, fared worse than the results of March 2008.
Besides the two eunuch frogs and the handicapped flip-over doormat, the Pakatan ADUNs and Exco had worked hard enough to achieve in just 12 months (mind you, without any corruption), what the Bastards would take at leaset 3 years to do. After a term, such performances would have eliminated the Bastards from the political landscape forever. This had brought real fear to the Zombie Tulukkan & Geng. Najis feared more states will fall to the clean government of Pakatan. And worse fears, they will have to "makan pasir" if Pakatan continues to rule.
The former LANUNs also feared constriction at the $$$ pipeline as the god-fearing, moral leaders do not believe in excesses and wastages.
The Shitman Najis who masterminded a blow up job of Al-tan-tu ya after a good blow-up job, engineered a shitty, immoral takeover by making a "gift" a smaller portion of the total $$$ marked for election expenses. The rest is a shameful history we have been witnessing.
Now, we can see that the respectful citizens will not pay their last respects when the Oldman dies (not too long to go!), and the faithful son can do nothing about that. If any around the corpse, it will be the shameless thick skinned vultures of Bastard party.
I forsee a change in government in less than 4 years as the people will speak and not todays corrupt people. Probably, Nizar will have difficulty in being sworn in if Oldman forgot to kick the bucket. They will cross the bridge when we get to it, somehow.
Besides the two eunuch frogs and the handicapped flip-over doormat, the Pakatan ADUNs and Exco had worked hard enough to achieve in just 12 months (mind you, without any corruption), what the Bastards would take at leaset 3 years to do. After a term, such performances would have eliminated the Bastards from the political landscape forever. This had brought real fear to the Zombie Tulukkan & Geng. Najis feared more states will fall to the clean government of Pakatan. And worse fears, they will have to "makan pasir" if Pakatan continues to rule.

I admit I was stupid at one time, thinking that the youngish Raja was an urbane Oxford elite and our Nation has hope for having him to rein!
Who knows I was fooled, by his masquerade! He is proven to be the same old antique feudalism, it's by-product!
Once when he talked so sweet about anti-corruption in the falling administration, and giving his sermon on the mount which caused many of us been lured into believing that he was one of the most intellectual and urbane but........I save my vulgarity to at least give him some basis respect, despite he betrayed us with his words, flip flop and cakap tak serupa bikin!
So what's so great with the monarch if they are there not to defense and take good care of the rakyat's well beings, instead forcing for more 'respects', or else, their goons will come out to the streets and bark like mongrels! Even drag into the lock up like how Siva was handled!
Yeas, it sounds pretty good, and will be good, Republic of Malaysia! And didn't at one time during the pre-japs occupation, the then tanah melayu was nearly changed hand to a republican government?!
He should be grateful the rakyat of Perak still bow to him!
Conversely, what has he expressed by his action to show thankful of the rakyat's good gesture?! Nothing except now he has helped to create more hatred and disrespects towards the fall empire!....Despises too!

Looks like Nazrin (representing the royalty) does not object to this "illegal" meeting. Any form of decency has gone down the drain. Justice from the royalty can not be expected. They have deserted the Perakians. From now on, injustice and anarchy rules in Perak. Will have to wait till GE13 to right the wrong.

I don't think it's about race lah pete (in as far as perak is concerned). I think most perakians just want to stay out of trouble. They are very well aware of the whole fiasco from the defection right up to ouster of Sivakumar. Come next election, we will see who will have the last laugh.
But as for the idea of Republic Of Malaysia... I kinda like the idea and I have expressed it somewhere in MT. The Monarch has lost its credibility and integrity.
So, let's go for the idea of a Republic. Although I don't think that the ruling government will subscribe to that.

If there are amongst you here who still think that Siva was thrown out the way he was not because, as Umno said, kita kena ajar sikit Keling Pariah tu, then you are more naive than I thought. Even the Umno Blogs are gloating about their victory and are calling Siva a Chinese-tool. Go read their Blogs and see.
Anyway, when I said it is about race, I was talking about how Umno managed to get the Perak civil service and police to back them up. With regards to it being about pride, greed, etc., that may be Umno's reason for wanting to stay in power but was certainly not the reason they whipped up to get the Malays to back them up in removing Pakatan.
I am talking about something else and there are others who are talking about something else. But that is very normal about MT readers without exceptions.

We, Chinese have never treated Malaysia as our home country. Because racist UMNO Malays are afraid of us. They are very afraid and that is why they use force. The Malay rulers are also afraid of non-malays. They have nothing in hand. They have nothing. Mahathir don't really like the rulers. AS you can see from there. But Mahathir knows that the Chinese are the one that bring progress to MAlaysia.
Otherwise, Malaysia will be worst than Indonesia.

At least the UMNO goons think that Malaysia has such issues, but actually we dont. AT least not for us who supports PR.I mean I voted for Tony Phua and I am born Malay Muslim. What we are fighting for is justice and true democracy. What we are against are greed and corruption and everything that UMNO stands for.
This RACE thing is what UMNO tries to put in our HEAD!! That we should be afraid, they are trying to take over the country and bla bla bla...
PR supporters have no such worry...
Why vote for a MALAY MUSLIM, who is dishonest, greedy worst scumbag of all when you can vote for an honest, true and fair leader who is NON MALAY AND NON MUSLIM??
Otherwise, Malaysia will be worst than Indonesia.

I am not Periakian but my wife is. I asked her what happened to all the Periakian especially the Ipoh residents. Why so few turned up? I always thought Ipoh residents have a lot of balls from they way they cakap besar but what I saw was that the Ipoh people and Perakians deserved to have the haram MB, the tempang bitch, the haram gomen. They did not turned up. So now I can only conclude that Periakians and Ipoh people can generate a lot of hot air with their mouth but when it mattered their tails were between their legs. **** you periakian and **** you Ipoh big mouths.. I went for the Bersih rally before the GE and got my dose of tear gas and at least I can cakap besar but you Ipoh/Perak cowards... shut the **** up in future but they can still redeem themselves by letting fly bricks and stones at BN cars especially the Merc belonging to the Hee cripple bitch.

Pete my man,
The perak civil service and the police are just lap dogs to umno... who coincidentally is the ruling government... and giving them the salary... maybe topped with the promise of a better promotion or contracts. These people have been spoon fed by umno all these while. They cannot live without it. That is why they owe their livelihood to umno. They just don't want to go out from their comfort zone and work to live, prosper and be ahead.
They would prefer to just live and "never mind about the world" thing.
If we need to change their mindset, that would take years. I have set upon an adage that (not in so many words), it will only take an ounce of perception to have an impression, but it will take tons of education to change it.
So, the first step is the change of government. Second is the policy change. Third is education. And fourth is endeavour.

Please help to pass on the message. Let us help the process of destruction before a new system can emerge.
Pete is right, some people need to be bashed and knived too. Blood need to flow before change can happen.
Talk is cheap and we should start to act now. Police is just organized crime group. If you cant win them, join them and let us speed up and bring some urgency to the situation.

But if they want to use violence, then we match them with violence. And they violently dragged Siva out of the Perak State Assembly.
Siva should have been allowed to exit on his feet. Instead, he was dragged and thrown out like a drunken wino. Is that how a Speaker should be treated? Well, if he were Malay that would never have happened. If it were in Kelantan that would never have happened. But because he is an Indian from Perak then it can happen. And it did happen.

The british saw this situation coming a long time ago.
They suggested the creation of the malayan union, which means states are abolished.
That means you do not need 10 guvenors/sultans/raja and can also dispose of 10 menteri besars.
That means less bereaucracy and red tape. Less overlapping jurisdiction in governance and law. Less bloated civil service. Country will be more efficiently managed. Less spending on overseas trip and medical bills paid to elites. More money for healthcare for those who needs it, such as those born with life threatening diseases. No need to ask for donations on newspaper.

REPUBLIC OF MALAYSIA! Sounds good, at least the Gomen can save some money by not paying "Gaji" to the royalty, and all palaces can be return to the Gomen and turn it to Museums.

Its interesting to note that RPK is taking a much broader and more analytical look at Malaysia since he has been viewing it from a distance
Pity a few more Malaysians couldnt get themselves out of the rut they are in and take a good look around... including a good look at themselves

SILVER STATE:
1)the state which with it's tin ores are handed over to the Brits WITH THE COST OF A SINGLE SOUL.
2)with it's abundances of natural resources after the independence it is still the most under develop state in the west coast xcept PERLIS which i personally doubt
3)compared to all the by elections since MARCH 08,08 - A WHOLE STATE WAS HANDED OVER without a single cents to the PERAKIANS.
so with this facts,it is self explainable why there was no PERAKIAN.Please don't desert the PERAKIANS even with their faults.

Dear RPK
I can’t these Malaysians. How come in the 21st century they still embrace such a feudalistic mentality? For every slap the government gives to their faces, the Malaysian people cries out the Monarchy for help. This is in spite of the monarchy having ignored their plight since the beginning of time; before WWII as a matter of fact.

For all those people who keep arguing that by abolishing the Monarchy we can save money because we do not have to pay the gaji of the Rulers, stop being stupid. Since 99% of the police are corrupted should we not also abolish the police force and save even more money than what we pay the Rulers? What about abolishing the government since we waste money paying 1 million civil servants who earn gaji buta?
Stop using the 'save money' argument as the reason for abolishing the Monarchy. That is a very narrow and shallow argument. Umno costs us many times more money in wastage and corruption than the Monarchy does. If we abolish the Monarchy it must be for other reasons and not to save bloody money.
Aiyah, Malaysians are so, so petty.

Dear RPK,
Well said and well responded (written by Raja Petra, May 08, 2009 14:41:59). Generally, Malaysians are 'cowards', they talk more than they do. Only if they are directly affronted would they respond. Without the race cards, BN will not exist,nor will UMNO, MIC & MCA. I strongly believe, Ipoh is the turning point, slowly but surely, a change in the country is in the making. But how long and how much effort it will take all depends on us, the Rakyat, we decide the future and not those who sit the august assemblies.
Cheers mate

(Since i'm at the bottom of the comments i doubt you would still read this RPK)
This is not your usual self Pete, I can say from your article you are seriously fumed and disappointed with how things unfolded in Perak. I usually agree with most things you said because you're so persuasive but this time i'm gonna give my 2 cents.
I live in Ipoh and on 7th May I have worn black but in the end i did not hit the streets (and thankfully did not get hauled by those monkeys wearing white.)
As you probably know the majority of Ipoh People is Chinese and for us Chinese; here is a very simple fact: as long as they do not destroy our means of life, we tend to be very "timid". You could bully us around and not afraid of retaliation. And here's another fact: Most Chinese in Ipoh are old people and have families. In fact we are an "old peoples town", a place for old people in retirement with one leg in their graves. Can you really to expect these people to go to the street asking for blood to be spilled? With what? Our KUNG FU kicks and our wooden sticks? Up against guns and parangs, i don't think there's much competition.
So there you have it... most of us are afraid... why? Because it is RACE. We live in a country where we do not have majority. We remember May 13 and we remember what happened in Indonesia May 1998. Do you think despite knowing these incidence have happened we still do things that are threatening our way of life? ESPECIALLY in the month of May? Say what you want about us, call us cowards and low-life if you want but as a young person living in an old folks town, i rather my parents it through Mother's Day than become a martyr.
I also would like to mention this piece i read from the NST online:
While Raja Nazrin took care to speak to them away from the microphone, his advice, which sounded more like an admonishment, was audible over the hall’s speakers.
The Raja Muda told the duo: “I don’t want to get involved in this. I just want to give my speech, so respect my speech, when I am giving it. You understand that? If you want to work with me in future, you have to respect my speech. Understand?
To me, it sounded like Raja Muda was having his hand tied. To me it sounded like he knows he needed to see this through even though its eating his guts out. Do you think for someone who studied law and talked of fairness and equality would not feel anything when such rampant lawlessness and injustice done before his very eyes? And yet he knows if he had taken sides with Pakatan, he may win this battle but not the war! In the end, it might really be the end for the Monarchy; or at least for the one in Perak! And so for the sake of his family and his respect for his father's wish, he too will let this happen before his eyes.
I already know halfway through a lot of people would have booed me and call me a Royalty sympathizer or something along those lines but this is how reality is and how the world works. And for those people out there who think i'm apologizing for the Raja Muda and Sultan, that i am just gutless or whatever, i dare you to come out and riot at Putrajaya. Don't make such brave comments when you are hiding behind your computer and expect people to do the "real" work. As the saying goes, "It is easy to be brave behind a castle wall".

Guys, guys, hold your horses! I think we all know we can't fight the UMNO/BN at this stage as long as they hold they federal power with the royals, judges, police and military in their pocket. It is no point pointing fingers and raving mad like losers. I believe the majority of Malaysians are utterly flabbergasted, disgusted and hopping mad at the fiasco in Perak. What UMNO did shamelssly and illegally is for all to see. The failure of the monarchy and the corruption of the police, Ag, etc. are also laid bare for all to see. If this whole of Perak fiasco did not happen, many Malaysians would still be sleeping. BUT NOW MOST ARE AWAKE, I believe!So do not despair, have patience - just another 3 more years and THEN VOTE UMNO/BN OUT COMPLETELY! Give PR two - third majority so that they can change all the unfair laws and institute change necessary to correct all the evils and wrongs that umno/bn have done in the last 51 years of their immoral rule. THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD ALL BE WORKING TOWARDS. SO KEEP YOUR HOPE, SPREAD THE WORD, EDUCATE, EDUCATE, EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. THEN LET'S SEE THE TRUTH OF "HE WHO LAUGHS LAST LAUGH BEST! WHEN WE SEND UMNO/BN TO THEIR GRAVE!

I have just returned from an enjoyable trip to Mauritius. The majority there is made up Mauritians of Indian decent. There is a minority of Mauritians of Malay descent. There is also a Sino-Mauritian population. Similar population structure to Malaysia with the make up of population reversed BUT with a huge difference. In Malaysia the govt practices positive discrimination in favour of the Majority (Malays). In Mauritius the govt - made up of the majority Indo- Mauritians- pratices equality for all races. A lesson for Malaysia.

No it makes sense to ask for some service when payment is made. The police service is needed for law and order but they are just a tool of the govt and when wrongly used will be ineffective.
At least when u pay the govt hopefully you are well run, if not you have to pick a different team. But what does royalty do for being paid so much? They just stand there and talk crap! Of course they also back the buliles.
