Wee: Declaration 1128 cannot be refuted

I think this mentally retarded Youth Chief need a brain transplant , please donate a pig brain .

Declaration 1128 approved by supporters of MCA vice-president Liow Tiong Lai cannot be refuted even if it has been dismissed by party president Ong Tee Keat, MCA Youth chief Wee Ka Siong said today.

He said the delegates at the special briefing held on Saturday had implemented what they should have done.

"Although the party president has dismissed the declaration, it does not matter. They (the delegates) have done what they should have," said Wee.

Wee was asked to comment on Ong's dismissal of the declaration, which had wanted fresh party polls to be held within 60 days.

The special briefing had also urged Ong to adhere to the understanding that both factions had agreed to hold fresh polls, he said.

Ong, in dismissing the declaration, had said that any call for fresh
elections must follow the party's constitution and be referred to the party's central committee (CC).

On a related matter, Wee expressed regret that Wanita MCA
secretary-general senator Heng Seai Kie had reportedly stated that only 547 MCA central delegates had attended the special briefing, contrary to Liow's statement that the briefing had 1,600 participants. ? ? ? can you believe this scumbag ? 1600 ? must be out of his mind . Can someone send him to the butcher !

He said the number stated by Liow was arrived at from the attendance registration book.

A bald farce hits a wall

LETTER Most people thought BN component parties had headed into cyberspace only after the watershed March 8, 2008 general election, which saw the opposition making unprecedented gains, largely due to the primary and secondary reach of the New Media.

BN parties were seen leaving the starting mark in the race towards cyber information dominance when Pakatan Rakyat parties were already miles ahead.

But one party had actually attempted to reach out earlier to the Netizens even before anyone had the faintest idea that March 8 would take place.

But then, almost no one knew of the effort by one major component of the coalition that took the form of mylivingwall.com because it turned out to be a disaster mired in corruption, scandal and sheer incompetence.

The idea of a mylivingwall was hatched in 2007 out of one woman’s frustration with her superior.

This lady, Ms X, was working in the party’s think tank organisation but could not get along with her boss, another Iron Lady, formerly from a certain chamber of commerce.

Both have a strong character and soon their daily arguments got too much. Ms X decided it was time to part ways.

But she was not ready to just call it a day in the party without first extracting her pound of flesh from a former and generous party president.

Door of opportunity

A window of opportunity presented itself when the former president (FP) appointed AK to head the publicity bureau.

That's when she sold the idea to FP, through AK, of setting up a portal called mylivingwall.com.

And AK, being the right-hand man of the deputy president at that time, can just about lead FP to leap off the Petronas Towers, if he wanted to.

FP was sold to the idea faster than the dotcom bust of the early 2000s.

But then, Ms X also wanted a good deal for her severance package-cum-platinum-handshake.

And she had a secret weapon: the then party legal bureau head, TC, with whom she allegedly shared a relationship that went far beyond work.

The lawyer, who lacks hair on his head, had close ties with FP and helped Ms X draft a contract that made her CEO of Living Wall Sdn Bhd. The party HQ granted her RM800,000 seed money and a monthly retainer fee of RM65,000 for three years. The contract is due to expire in February 2010.

And faster than a blink of an eye, the party’s venture, to turn over the anti-establishment Netizens, was born in a business arrangement that reeked of high-handedness.

Hit a wall

And what of the "portal" itself?

It remains a one-woman effort to compile bits of information from all over cyberspace.

No one does interviews with ministers or confronts the FRU during illegal rallies, much less brave the crowds at ceramahs. And FP was banking on this woman to turn things around in the face of seething anger from the urban middle-class Chinese.

By the time March 8 took place, it was too late. Well, Living Wall, hit a wall, pun intended.

With its three-year contract expiring soon, Ms X’s fortune does not seem to be all that bright. Neither is the luck of her lover boy who was removed as the party's legal bureau head shortly after a recent EGM for allegedly plotting against the current president.

Bald TC and Ms X go back a long way and are part of a group of English-speaking activists, in a largely Mandarin-speaking party.

But, really, the person more worried than the woman about the party not renewing Living Wall's contract is TC.

Lobbying not to be left out

Having years ago given up his legal practice, from which he made a fortune through the generosity of FP and another former president, he would have no more income if Living Wall tumbles like the Berlin Wall 20 years ago.

Furthermore, he has been reassigned from being chairman to just an ordinary board member of a popular English daily, which leaves him with one leg at the exit door.

Of late, TC, who makes no attempt to hide the estranged relations with his wife, is often seen at the office of the party’s treasurer-general in Cheras, lobbying not to be chopped off as a director of the party's investment arm and another party-owned corporation.

Having loaned RM170,000 to his lover for a new Maserati, TC did not want to be caught deep in debt. Hence, he aggressively pushed for the renewal of Ms X’s lop-sided contract.

Towards this end, TC even cut a deal with a party vice-president. In return for declaring the EGM illegal, the ‘botak’, as he is also known, will be given the post of deputy chairman in one of the party’s division; a much more glamorous post than being the legal bureau head. On top of that, the Living Wall will continue to stand.

But as the party leadership impasse drags on, Living Wall, FP’s baby, continues to be stillborn while Pakatan’s blogs have gone far ahead.

BN parties can lead sites like Living Wall to the sledgehammer, like the Berlin Wall collapse that brought hope and prosperity to Europe.

Otherwise, the only thing "living" thing insofar as the next general election is concerned, is false hope and illusion.

Liow might end up Liow liao

Its the beginning of the end for him and his conspirators .

Supporters of Ong and Chua are discipline and will not contribute to the bad blood letting in the press , however supporters of the renegade faction has been spewing bad blood everywhere they go without any due concern for the Party .

How can you trust an MCA leader like Liow who keeps on bluffing everyone , keeps shifting goalposts , one day say this next day say that .

If he can hoodwink the MCA delegates by claiming more than 1200 delegates attended his " special briefing " turned "special extraordinary super EGM " to pass calls or motions to the MCA leadership , then he will also easily bluff and hoodwink the Chinese Community if he were to become " president "

He has lost his creditability for preaching democracy while preaching that the Youth and Wanita ahould not be affected , remains status quo should there be fresh elections. How can this be so ? when Ong and Chua's faction within the Youth and Wanita being discipline have not resulted to another verbal warfare to even create a bigger mess . Not all the youth and wanita supports Wee and Chew whose image have been seriously damaged by their consistent foul mouthing of the leadership .

As it is today many MCA members , I am told are very angry with this constant bickering by this bunch of damn fools for their self vested interests. Even the Chinese community is getting very pissed , everywhere I go , people who recognise me will ask me when are these idiots going to stop ? Even my Malay friends are condemning them , all saying mereka tak boleh tunggu , semua mau cepat naik , mau jadi menteri . celaka orang .

MCA fighter who might end

up the biggest loser

2009/11/30

THE mild-mannered MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has been talking tough lately -- even if it is tough love.

It began with his faction demanding that party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat "respect" the vote of no confidence in him at the party's Oct 10 extraordinary general meeting (EGM).

Liow then questioned the legality of the Registrar of Societies' ruling that Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek be returned the party No. 2 following his failure to be reinstated as deputy president at the EGM.

Liow's latest move was the announcement of Declaration 1128 at a special briefing on Saturday, which pushed for fresh Central Committee (CC) elections and a limit to presidential powers.

Some are arguing that Liow has to be more aggressive in challenging what he claims is abuse of power by Ong and his nemesis-turned-ally Dr Chua in the interest of democracy in the party.

But he had stopped short of demanding their resignations, which raises questions as to what exactly he is trying to do.

To be fair to Liow, he has stressed repeatedly that fresh CC elections are the solution to the prolonged leadership crisis.

He also mooted, on behalf of the MCA Integrity Restoring Task Force (MIRT), amending the party constitution to curb the president's power to appoint members to the presidential council.

Liow explained this would avoid abuse of power with the president making "selective appointments".

It all seems altruistic and magnanimous of Liow to be putting his head on the block for the sake of the party. So it is strange that the call for fresh elections is limited to the CC.

He has said that the problem lies with the CC and nowhere else, explicitly stating that the Youth and Wanita wings should be spared fresh polls.

Where does this leave Liow and the clutch of CC members who have pledged to resign from the committee? Thirteen CC members, who are members of Liow's MIRT faction, have reportedly signed undated resignation letters in their bid to force fresh CC polls.

Of the group, two have little to lose from the upheaval -- Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong and Wanita chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun.

Sure, they may lose their CC seats and would have a tough battle against the hugely influential top two, but they still have clout in their wings and no one denies they can rebuild whatever they have lost.

Liow, on the other hand, earned a direct seat on the CC by virtue of his election as a vice-president. Quitting the CC would mean tossing out his party post, his ministerial post -- everything, including the kitchen sink.

Perhaps his intention is to knock out Ong and Dr Chua but conventional wisdom has it that it is going to take a lot more than a kitchen sink to bring down the two.

Faced with such lousy odds, Liow cannot be blamed for having second thoughts about his "crusade". But if he indeed harbours doubts about his direction, he only has one more day to reconsider his options.

Tomorrow is the deadline set by BN deputy chairman and Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on a decision on the party's peace plan, as proposed by BN chairman and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Which means it will be Liow's last chance to spell out clearly where he stands.

Liow's dilemma is clear. If he remains steadfast in the fight for what he claims is the survival of democracy in the party, he runs the real risk of ending his political career.

Or he could back down, apologise for wading into the mess and end up as the very thing he did not want to be -- a punching bag.

Liow , Go Fly Kite

Tee Keat dismisses party polls in 60 days

By Lee Wei Lian

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 29 — MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat brushed aside the "declaration" adopted by his rivals that fresh party polls should be held in 60 days.

He also blasted estranged party vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai for suggesting that the party's annual general meeting (AGM), scheduled for Dec 5, should be postponed.

"Anyone can make claims (regarding fresh poll dates) but what is important is that they follow due process and follow the constitution," said the Transport Minister.

A briefing held by Liow and his allies yesterday and attended by about 1,000 members and delegates had endorsed a statement, called the 1128 declaration that called for fresh elections in 60 days.

Ong (picture) said that parties wanting the AGM to be postponed should have referred the matter to the party's central committee and not show a "lack of discipline" by making public announcements.

Ong declined to disclose any possible dates for fresh elections in MCA but said it would be dependent on whether there would be elections at the Youth and Wanita wings and whether it would be done via a new direct elections model as opposed to the current proportional one.

Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong and Wanita chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun had yesterday expressed their opposition to fresh polls in the junior wings as preferred by their rivals.

Ong denied rumours that he was in London negotiating a defection to PKR and blamed unidentified parties linked to the scandal-hit Port Klang Free Zone project for the "baseless slander".

Asked when would he meet Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muyhiddin Yasin to discuss a solution to the MCA power struggle, Ong replied that what was important was communication and that he had been in communication with Muhyiddin.

The Arrogance of the DAP .

If they were to form the Federal Govt , they'll have a head so big just like the hot air balloon . Disgraceful behaviour Mr Royal Commission . Can we call a Royal Commission on acts like this ?

Delegates step on ‘frogs’ at Perak DAP convention

Ipoh Timor MP Lim Kit Siang steps on the ‘doormat’ as Perak DAP secretary Nga Kor Ming (right) ushers him into the hall for the convention.

By Clara Chooi

IPOH, Nov 29 — A banner bearing the faces of the three political “frogs” that caused the fall of the Perak Pakatan Rakyat government was the source of much mirth for DAP delegates arriving for the party's state-level 15th convention here this morning.

The banner was conveniently placed like a doormat on the floor of the entrance into the convention hall at the Tower Regency Hotel, forcing delegates to step on the faces of the three — Barisan Nasional-friendly independents Hee Yit Foong (Jelapang), Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi (Behrang) and Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu (Changkat Jering).

The three defectors had left their respective PR parties last February and threw their support behind the BN, causing the controversial switch in government and the impasse that the state is still embroiled in until today.

Some delegates looked uncomfortable at the idea of stepping on the trio's faces and made a big show of avoiding the banner while others gleefully jumped on them, targetting Hee's face above the three.

Several state assemblymen, including Sungkai assemblyman A. Sivanesan and Tebing Tinggi assemblyman Ong Boon Piow, had no qualms over stepping on the banner as they made their way into the hall.

Others like ousted Speaker V. Sivakumar and Perak DAP chief Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham entertained requests from photographers to pose for pictures as they walked in.

Party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, who was invited to open the convention, however decided to avoid the banner as he stepped in.

The convention will go on until 6 this evening and will seek to pass resolutions including suggestions on policies for the PR as well calls on the BN government on matters involving politics, the economy, education, religion and the Perak power grab.

Hello MACC !! Sudah lupa ke ?
WHAT HAPPEN TO THIS CASE ?
















DAP MP lodge report on Toyota Alphard 'gift' to Liow's wife

Lim Lip Eng, the DAP MP of Segambut lodged a police reported at the Sentul Police Headquarters where he claims that a ‘gift’ has been given by Axis Construction Sdn Bhd (ACSB) to Datin Seri Lee Su Loo, the wife of Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. According to Lim, ACSB has allegedly given a Toyota Alphard bearing the registration number WSB15 to Lee for her birthday include a downpayment of RM300,000 and its monthly installments as well. According to the claims which was reported by local news portal Malaysiakini, ACSB is a construction firm which has been involved in various projects held out by the Ministry of Health.

Lim said "We are lodging the report today because we want the truth. We want to know if the allegations in the Malaysia Today article are facts or just a fabrication. We are not reporting this to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) because we don't know if this is true or not. If the allegations are true, we want the police and MACC to take action against the guilty parties. If the accusations are false, then the police can charge the writer and publisher of the article under Section 500 of the Penal Code for criminal defamation,"

He added that "It is also a question of timing, the letter (article) alleged that the payments were made on the 19 of every month, today is the 18th... tomorrow is due for another payment. So the police can investigate,"

A Toyota Alphard costing 574,884.10 Ringgit. (Car number plate WSB 15)

Alas!!! Who paid for it? Axis Construction Sdn.Bhd, the company that always appear in your Ministry's winning tender list. God sent or dirty hand?

Please tell us why your ministry's contractor paid for your wife's car down payment?

There was a cheque on January 2009, HLB 373727 ($ 324,884.10) from Axis Construction to the car dealer for the car WSB 15. Another cheque HLB 373727 paid to the seller. ($ 9,299.90).

You also squeezed your contractor to pay for the Monthly instalments for that expensive gift to your BiNi!!

On the 19th of each month, Benny Ho of Axis construction will deposit $4,730 to your BiNi's bank account (Public Bank Saving Account Number 4487469902). Some of the check numbers are HLB 359666 and HLB 383393!

Dr M: Fresh polls only to make MCA weaker

PUTRAJAYA (Nov 2, 2009) : MCA holding fresh polls will only divide the party and make it weaker, said former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

"Because the people who lose will not be reconciled. So in the end you will have a weaker party," he told reporters after witnessing a collaboration signing ceremony between three companies - Mega Signet Sdn Bhd, Return 2 Green Sdn Bhd and Bio Green Bags Sdn Bhd - here today.

He said the problem now in the MCA, MIC or Umno was jostling for leadership positions.

"They are not thinking about the party, the party is just a horse on which they ride. They think that by associating themselves with a political party, they can get something in return," he said.

Mahathir was asked on reports in newspapers yesterday that Wanita MCA wanted MCA to hold fresh polls.

He said splits were happening in political parties because their leaders were not interested in the country or the interests of their respective parties.

One Big Poker Bluff

Today's so called 1128 Briefing is one hell of a big poker bluff , to hoodwink and deceive the people . However one thing was evident ..read on

The " briefing " attracted 547 delegates whose identity was not verified and remains unverified .
This is according to signatures on the lists of attendees .

Of the over 900 chairs provided downstairs it was 90 percent occupied as there were empty , inoccupied chairs in between . The whole of upstairs which could easily accommodate another 800 people was empty , not a single chair was filled . So there could be more than 900 and about 1000 people attending who are ordinary members and outsiders , inclusive of the 547 unverified so called delegates .

Even assuming these 547 who signed were delegates EGM 2 which is illegal will still has to be aborted due to lack of quorum which required 800 delegates to be able to be deemed valid .

They promised to have a independent committee to verify those attendees , however none was seen and there was no verification done .

However one thing was evident , there were busloads of people who came from Divisions who had only 15 delegates in the respective divisions , meaning busloads of non delegates , ordinary members and outsiders were ferried to attend the briefing .

These busloads of people were mainly from Perak and Pahang respectively , the home ground of the two taikors , Chan kong Choy of the Wah Kee ( sei ko long or see kang or cell 40 ) from Pahang and and Ong Ka Chuan , of the Ang Men or ang bin hoay from Perak . So its evident here that the triads are now involve as previously mention in this blog .

Najib should act now against these politicians and groups , the fall of MCA will see the fall of BN in the coming GE

When these Taikors were strongest then back then in 2008 , when they partically controlled and rule MCA , when Ka Ting ( president ) famous for his association with the Sio Sam Ong group , his brother Ka Chuan ( sec gen ) with the ang bin hoay and Kong Choy with the wah kee , and with the help from William Cheng and co , the Sin Chew group and co , MCA still suffered a great disasterous defeat in 308 .

If they were to make a comeback , MCA will be wiped out and so will Barisan National . If Najib is not careful with these criminalise politicians , and were to accede to their demands , Najib will inevitablely be the catalyst in the downfall of BN in the next GE . BN will be finished if Ong Ka Chuan who is planning to make a comeback by going for the top post and with Liow going for the no 2 makes it . Najib should also start taking actions against those media groups who wants to see the downfall of MCA cause the downfall of MCA is also the downfall of BN .

MCA : Don't belittle Ong's contribution

Friday, 27 November 2009 18:24

KUALA LUMPUR - MCA has urged Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia president William Cheng not to discredit the party's contributions.

Cheng had criticised Ong Tee Keat on Thursday, saying the MCA leader had failed to establish a close relationship with the Chinese associations.

MCA Special Task Force Bureau chairman Simon Lim said Cheng should have discussed his grouses with the MCA leadership instead of airing it in public at a vulnerable time for the party.

“Although Tan Sri William Cheng's statement is regrettable, I still respect his views on the matter."

Lim then sought to rebut Cheng's claim by highlighting Ong's contributions to the Chinese community.

MCA working and showing results

Since Ong assumed power, he had often sought the views and feedback of the Chinese guilds and associations and NGOs and relayed them to the relevant government bodies for action, said Lim.

He also said Ong had in January led a business and trade delegation comprising Chinese association leaders and entrepreneurs to China and the visit had brought about substantial business opportunities.

MCA had also worked with the Chinese associations in organising a dinner to welcome the appointment of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in June, Lim added.

“These reflects the close cooperation between the party and the Chinese guilds and associations. At the same time, the dinner also serves as a platform for the Chinese guilds and associations to voice out their views and aspirations.”

Hey TNB When are you going to collect back your $500 million IOU ??

Thanks Kalambong

Lion unit in default of credit facilities

PETALING JAYA: Megasteel Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Lion Corp Bhd, is in default of a credit facility granted by Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd and a syndicated term-loan facility granted by syndicated term-loan lenders.

“As a result, Megasteel was not able to meet the principal payment due in respect of the credit facilities,” it said.

As at July, Megasteel’s total outstanding principal amount stood at RM47.6mil for the Bank Pembangunan credit facility and RM1bil for the syndicated term-loan.

Lion Group is still owing the Chinese supplier for the blast furnace the Chinese installed for them, at a tune of USD 165 Million !!

And that is part of the USD 500 Million steel plant Lion Group built but hasn't has the money to pay the suppliers !!!

Lion Group not only owe TNB 500 Millions. That's the bill for MegaSteel Sdn. Bhd. alone !!

AmSteel Corporation Berhad and AmSteel Mills Sdn. Bhd., both subsidiaries of the Lion Group, also owe TNB Couple of Hundreds of Millions !!!

BTN taught me the Chinese are the Jews of Asia’
Where's that Mentally Retarded YOUTH CHIEF ? Are You aware of this ? Or Are you simply ignorant while EGM 2 and fresh election seems to be your new portfolio , Dep. Minister of EGM and Fresh Elections ? ? Huh ?

Muhyiddin has defended the BTN courses. — File pic

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27 — I am one of the privileged few to have attended a local public university and learned the meaning of hate, thanks to the ever popular Biro Tata Negara.

All undergraduates were forced to attend this programme or else they would not be eligible for graduation.

The BTN under the Prime Minister’s Department brought in “intellectual” speakers who were supposed to enlighten the students about the meaning of being a Malaysian but instead it felt more like a communist propaganda camp brainwashing those attending about the importance of “Ketuanan Melayu”.

The camp would usually take place during the weekends. Students would have to register early in the morning and the programme would last the whole day.

The organisers were always on their guard, asking participants to show their student identification cards each time they entered the hall, fearing the presence of outsiders.

In the hall, students were asked to turn off their mobile phones.

During the lectures, questions were planted among the audience and the students were advised not to ask any other questions.

One speaker began with the history of Malaysia and how much the country had gone through, always emphasising the May 13 riots.

He stressed the point of how much the Malays had sacrificed and how the community should be united especially from outside threat — the Chinese community.

He said that the Chinese community were “the Jews of Asia” and were just itching to take over when Malays were disunited and broken.

The speaker also revealed a greater Chinese conspiracy where the Chinese Malaysians were working together with Singapore to topple the Malay government.

“Do you want to become like the Malays in Singapore?” he asked.

He also went so far as to criticise Malay girls for dating boys from other races.

He added that they should not be cheap and embarrass their families.

Once, a student told the speaker that as Muslims, we should also respect other races who are also Muslims.

“All Muslims are Malays so it does not matter if they are Chinese or Indians. If they are Muslims then they are Malays,” the speaker replied.

This is why I was relieved when I learned that the Selangor government had moved to ban its civil servants, employees of state subsidiaries and students at state-owned education institutions from attending any BTN courses with immediate effect.

However I believe racism in varsities does not end at BTN because classrooms have also become victims of ignorant scholars.

My friend was verbally abused during his sociology class when he did not agree with the points made by his lecturer.

“You must be DKK,” the lecturer told him.

“What is DKK?” he asked.

“You must be darah keturunan keling (descendents of Indians),” the lecturer said, pointing to his dark skin.

My Saudi friend was also shocked by the comments made by his lecturer in his Islamic civilisation class.

“We should save our Orang Asli from the Chinese people. They are like the Palestinians and the Chinese are Israel. We must fight the Jews,” the lecturer told his students.

The lecturer even failed one of his students in his oral exam when he quoted a Western scholar in his presentation.

“You should be ashamed of yourselves. You are a Muslim and should only use Islamic scholars,” he scolded the student.

I was personally saddened when my Islamic law lecturer compared Christianity to Head & Shoulder’s 3 in 1 shampoo in referring to the religion’s Holy Trinity.

I feel that racism has been institutionalised in our country and that BTN is only the tip of the iceberg.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin defended BTN yesterday and claimed that it was not racist but is line with the 1 Malaysia concept.

I have to humbly disagree and would like to suggest maybe the ministers should bring their overseas children home and let them have a taste of what BTN is.

China expert warns of pandemic flu mutation

Health experts fear a mutation between the H1N1 and H5N1 viruses. — Reuters pic

HONG KONG, Nov 26 — China must be alert to any mutation or changes in the behaviour of the H1N1 swine flu virus because the far deadlier H5N1 bird flu virus is endemic in the country, a leading Chinese disease expert said.

Zhong Nanshan, director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases in China’s southern Guangdong province, said the presence of both viruses in China meant they could mix and become a monstrous hybrid — a bug packed with strong killing power that can transmit efficiently among people.

“China, as you know, is different from other countries. Inside China, H5N1 has been existing for some time, so if there is really a reassortment between H1N1 and H5N1, it will be a disaster,” Zhong said in an interview with Reuters Television.

“This is something we need to monitor, the change, the mutation of the virus. This is why reporting of the death rate must be really transparent.”

The World Health Organisation warned on Tuesday that H5N1 had erupted in poultry in Egypt, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, posing once again a threat to humans.

“First, it places those in direct contact with birds — usually rural folk and farm workers — at risk of catching the often-fatal disease. Second, the virus could undergo a process of “reassortment” with another influenza virus and produce a completely new strain,” it said.

“The most obvious risk is of H5N1 combining with the pandemic ... (H1N1) virus, producing a flu virus that is as deadly as the former and as contagious as the latter.”

Zhong told the Chinese media last week that China may have had more H1N1 flu deaths than it has reported, with some local governments possibly concealing suspect cases.

The doctor is known for his candor and work in fighting Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2003, when nationwide panic and international alarm erupted after it emerged that officials hid or underplayed the spreading epidemic.

Cover-ups by local governments in 2003 during the SARS epidemic led to the sackings of several officials. More than 300 people died in that outbreak.

China, the world’s most populous country, has reported around 70,000 cases of H1N1 and 53 death from the virus.

While some regions simply lack the technology to test for H1N1, other areas have been treating deaths as cases of ordinary pneumonia without a question, Zhong said.

“Some local healthcare authorities are reluctant, unwilling to test patients with severe pneumonia because there’s some latent rule which says the more H1N1 deaths, the less effective the control and prevention work in your area,” Zhong said.

Zhong said China’s health minister Chen Zhu rang him up last week and agreed with his views. A notice then appeared on the ministry’s website threatening severe punishment for officials caught concealing deaths from H1N1 swine flu.

WHO reported more than 526,060 laboratory confirmed cases of H1N1 worldwide on November 15, with at least 6,770 deaths. However, it has stressed for months now that the figures were only the tip of the iceberg.

It urged countries to place more resources on mitigating the disease rather then on costly prevention measures or testing everyone. All WHO and the US CDC will say is that “millions” have been infected. —

These are the Rational and Reasons why the 1128 EGM are Illegal

The 1128 EGM Resolutions

The 1128 EGM be convened to consider and pass the following two resolutions :

1. That fresh elections be held to elect a new central committee for the MCA within 30 days from the adoption of this resolution .

2. That all appointments , terminations or pledges made after 10.10.09 EGM by YB Datuk Ong Tee Keat in his capacity as President of MCA be nullified .

Reasons why these resolutions and the EGM are illegal as they contravene the Party Constitution are as follows :

On Resolution 1

1. The Central Committee members ( party officials ) are elected to serve for a period of three years ( Article 167 )

2. Fresh Party election can only be held if 2/3 or more of the elected Central Committee members ceased to be members ( eg resignation en-bloc) ( Article 41)

3. Dismissal of 2/3 or more of the elected CC members ( Article 35 ) by the General Assembly and causing a fresh election to be held pursuant to Article 41 .

In other words without dismissing 2/3 or more of the elected CC and in the absence of resignation en-bloc the present CC shall serve for a period of three (3) years .

In the absence of resignation en-bloc , a proper resolution to dismiss the existing CC should have been proposed in the 1128 EGM as a prerequisite to any purported fresh party election . The attempt to elect new Central Committee without first dismissing the present CC members contravenes the Party Constitution .

Article 27 of the Party Constitution provides that the ultimate authority of the Party is vested in the General Assembly . Such ultimate authority is subject to the specific provisions of the Party Constitution .

Since the Party's Constitution has provided express specific provisions in relation to Party election any attempt for fresh Party elections must comply with the specific provisions ( Article 35 , 41 ,167 ) of the Party Constitution . Any attempt to by pass the Party Constitution to achieve the proposed fresh Party election objective is therefore unconstitutional and unenforceable .

On Resolution 2 .

1. Article 38.11 and Article 166 of the Party Constitution expressly provides power to the President to appoint Central Committee members and to terminate such appointments .

2. Resolution 2 seeks to deny the power of the President to appoint and to terminate such appointments cannot hold without first amending Article 38.11 and Article 166 . . Such attempt is unconstitutional and unenforceable .

It is therefore the 1128 EGM is ruled illegal as it does not conform to the requirements as provided for by the Party Constitution . And proceeding with this EGM is deemed UNCONSTITUTIONAL . Period:)

Even UMNO cannot force MCA and the President , the Deputy President to accept their proposals as it is deemed unconstitutional and MCA can be deregistered by the ROS if it were to go ahead with the fresh elections even with UMNO's proposal , let alone by the group of renegade , mutinous conspirators .

So my call for fresh elections will also deem ridiculous and looks like I might have to retract my call for it .

Dr Teng: Lim plays 'twist & blame game' again

Until today still thinking he is in the Opposition , Mr Blame Lim

Monday, 23 November 2009 19:41

PENANG - Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was again taken to task for playing a fact-twisting and blame-shifting game on the conversion of a 1.4ha plot adjacent to the Eastern and Oriental (E&O) Hotel in Lebuh Farquhar, here from leasehold to freehold.

Penang Gerakan chairman Dr Teng Hock Nan said the undisputed fact was that Lim and his exco had approved the land conversion on June 3, 2009.

"Yet at the state legislative assembly sitting in August, Lim had openly said there were no such conversion between April 2008 and June this year. Thus, he has misled the House and the people," he said in a statement Monday.

'Cover up his lie'

He said documents on minutes of the State Exco, State Land Committee and Penang Development Corporation on the subject declassified by the state government on Saturday clearly proved beyond an iota of doubt that Lim and his exco had approved the conversion.

Teng said Lim was now trying to divert the issue and cover up his lie at the assembly by trying to put the blame on former CM Dr Koh Tsu Koon.

"Whatever he claimed, the fact is that the conversion was not approved during Koh's time. Lim's statement was actually an admission that he and his exco had approved the conversion in June and he had misled the state legislative assembly, the media and the people.

"This episode again exposed the true color of Lim Guan Eng's administration, that it is unaccountable and non-transparent but an expert in twisting facts and playing the blame game," added Teng.

Pulau Betong assemblyman Muhammad Farid Saad had said earlier that Lim had misled the state assembly at the last sitting in August when he said there was no such conversion between April last year and June this year.

Never misled the assembly

Farid was referring to the question he posed to Lim on whether there had been any land conversion for development purposes during that period.

In his written reply, Lim had said the state government was waiting to present the matter to the National Land Council, scheduled to meet at the end of the year and the state government had yet to approve any application for land conversion.

Earlier today, Lim said he had never misled the state assembly when he said there had been no conversion of land status in the state during that period.

He stressed that the land did not belong to the state government and there had been no conversion of any state land status during the period.

Najib's Formula and Money Politics

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Barisan Nasional have no interest nor any intention to “meddle” in MCA’s affairs, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that however, after looking at the situation turning “critical” and fearing that the crisis would be prolonged, Najib as Barisan Nasional chairman felt that “help” should be extended.

“We are not interested in interfering in MCA’s affairs but we don’t see the party’s problems ending. The party’s internal crisis has been going on for almost a year.

“Let me reiterate that the Prime Minister and I have no vested interest in wanting to help MCA end its leadership crisis. I have a lot on my plate; there is the (possibility of) a by-election, floods and other matters that need my attention.

Latest Update , this is serious !! Looks like they are selling their souls !

Money Politics




















A little bird just gave me this information and I have reasons to believe this imformation he gave me is accurate .

They ( the renegades , mutinous gang ) are giving or rather paying $ 500 ringgit for every delegate who attends their 1128 EGM . For every Divisional head or Chairman they are giving $ 1000 . For those delegates from Sabah they are giving $ 1000 plus the airfare . As for the Divisional Chairman from Sabah , it's an additional $1000 .

Who is paying all these ? Where's the money coming from ? Your guess is as good as mine .

For those who have receive money from them , please lodge a report with MACC and with the MCA secretariat . or

Take the money and vote AGAINST them .

One friendly reminder ...this is an illegal EGM and you are accepting illegal money which is bribery or corruption .

Best is Please Do Not attend ..$ 500 for your principles or the future of your family and the Chinese community is not worth it . You will reap what you sow .

An Open Letter to MCA , Central Delegates and to MSM Editors

Dear Sirs

I represent a group of MCA Life members who are also Central Delegates to the MCA . I on behalf of them wishes to present our views to the Fresh Elections called by the renegade group of half baked , half past six leaders who have absolutely no love for the party and wishes to see the party sink in quick sand .

The recent call by Liow Tiong Lai that Fresh elections not needed for wings smirks of double standards , irresponsible decisions , incomprehensible actions and absurdity lined with stupidity and idiocracy .

He has implied that fresh party elections in MCA should only be applicable to the parent body, and not the Youth and Wanita wings. Mutinous renegade party vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the fresh party polls were to settle disputes in the parent body, and had nothing to do with the other wings. "There is no need for Wanita and Youth wings to have a new election."

We chose to not to agree with what he has said .

The Youth and Wanita Chief has tarnished the image of the Party with their crying opera acts , has brought the condemnation of the Chinese Community on the party with their constant bickering and with their crying acts deserving an oscar award . I do not wish to dwell on what they did to the President and Party as its well known by everyone and I would like to stay on the subject .

Liow seems to be promoting a democracy where the future of MCA is controlled by the Youth and Wanita Chairman , who can at their whims and fancies , promote chaos and instability in the party that senior MCA leaders will be at their mercies . Imagine creating problems for the Party and no actions can be taken against them by their automatic positions as Vice President from the respective Youth and Wanita positions .

A good example would be the snoop squad where the Deputy President was brought down by these Youth Leaders ( Liow was the National Youth Chief and Wee Jack Seng the State Youth Chief ) with the intention of you climb down the ladder , I climb up the ladder . Note , these two names were mention in the snoop squad report with one now a full Minister and the other a Deputy Minister .

Rejuvenating the party as implemented by Ong Ka Ting when he was the president was with a purpose that he could fully controlled these youngsters who would be fully subservient to his wishes and he would be able to rule like an Emperor without any single objection . This resulted in many capable older leaders being put into cold storage or simply fade away even though they won big majorities in GE11 . Putting these young candidates who won not because of their popularity but rather of their representation of the Party , and who became swollen headed that whatever they do , everyone must listen . A good example is Wee Ka Siong who thinks he is already the Party President , talks as if he is the party president and everyone must kow tou to him . Indeed he has a swollen head and a damned cocky one at that . Expects you to come and shake his hand , rather than he come to you . What a damned cocky youth chief .

As can be seen from his conduct , he thinks he is already a Minister , can even critisise the President and thinks he doesn't owe anyone in the MCA anything for his greedy ambitions .

I also wish to make our point be known that for future Ministerial positions only capable youth / wanita leaders be made or be given ministerial positions and there should be NO back door listing as in the case of Chew who went in thru the back door while losing her elections . Senatorship is not the way to go for these undeserving leaders .

How can Liow insisted that he is upholding democracy while protecting his right and left bridesmaid ? Has he given his solemn promise to them , the Youth and Wanita Chairman that in return for them rebelling against the President they be made Ministers replacing the president in the Transport Ministry and Ng Yen Yen in the Tourism Ministry ? when he Liow became President?

Have they ever considered the wishes and the hopes of the Chines Community in Malaysia ..? Answer is very obvious ..who cares what happens as long as I become MCA President .

To end this long letter the Party must seriously look into this two issues in the name of DEMOCRACY.

a) For fresh elections to take place , it must be for ALL , meaning elections from the branches up to the divisions to the central and must be for all wings , the Youth , the Wanita and for MCA .

b) Assuming that the illegal EGM goes on as scheduled and is called off due to lack of quorum , then the requisitors will have to comply to the GUP since they do not have the mandate and fresh elections will be called off and only be held as per the Party Constitution . ie in 2011 or two thirds of cc resign or requisition by two thirds of the assembly .

Justice4otk .

Zip up on leadership crisis, DPM tells MCA leaders

PUTRAJAYA (Nov 24, 2009) : Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is seeking the cooperation of all MCA leaders to refrain from making any statements because such statements will reflect continuing conflicts in the party.

Muhyiddin, who is also the Barisan Nasional (BN) deputy chairman, said in the process of finding a formula for a settlement, it was better that the leaders did not make any statement.

"Once we have reached a consensus, only then do we issue a statement and maintain a good image. If under such circumstances, A says this, B says that, C says something else and D too says something else."

"To me, this will confuse the community, and the MCA members certainly want to see how we want to resolve the problem," he told reporters after chairing the 7th Meeting of the National Minerals Council, here today when asked to comment on the various views and statements made by MCA leaders on the party's internal crisis.

DPM now only knows he's dealing with a bunch of Brutus Monkeys ( new species ) only found in Malaysia . He also now realises he's been conned by them with their false pretenses and twisted stories . Hence the need to zip them up , since its these monkeys clattering all the while .

Liow: Fresh elections not needed for wings

PUTRAJAYA: Fresh party elections in MCA should only be applicable to the parent body, and not the Youth and Wanita wings.

Embattled party vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the fresh party polls were to settle disputes in the parent body, and had nothing to do with the other wings.

"There is no need for Wanita and Youth wings to have a new election."

Liow was commenting on news reports in Chinese dailies of mutterings in the grassroots to elect afresh leaders for the two wings, leaders of both who are incidentally his allies.

The Wanita head is Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun while the Youth chief is Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Liow sidestepped the question of whether it was "undemocratic" if the wings did not have new polls as well.

"First, we have to solve the woes in the parent body. For that, we need a round of fresh elections.

"But there is no problem with the wings whatsoever. No Problems ?? Hey Liow don't talk COCK

We want fresh elections for both the wings .

DPM sets Dec 1 deadline for MCA leadership

Dec 1 deadline to end crisis

CYBERJAYA: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has set a seven-day target to get the rival factions in MCA to agree on a formula to resolve the party crisis.

The Deputy Prime Minister said he had begun discussions with a few party leaders.

In my opinion this date is set due to various factors of which both Najib and Tee Keat are both overseas . But I believe that most of the issues have been made known to Najib and DPM and there is an agreement to the holding of fresh elections of which the date needs to be finalised . It is this date that both parties is in disagreement .

The thing is why DEC 1st ? I strongly believe that this date is set to gauge the response to their 1128 EGM . That is why until today they are still insisting that the EGM is legal and still asking all delegates to attend . They are still talking like a parrot where ever they go . Their constant whacking of OTK and CSL shows their desperation .

1128 is their final episode . Both DPM and PM wants to see whether they have the support come 1128 as to what they claim . As I said before , the EGM which everyone knows is illegal while they claim is legal does not have enough quorum and has to be cancelled , then I think come Dec 1 st they DPM and PM should know what to do . This should tell both of them that MCA members do not support such treacherous leaders and they should also not listen to such treacherous MCA leaders .

Hence the need to only decide after Nov 28 . So it is imperative that all MCA delegates should NOT attend the 1128 EGM .

MCA = Malay-Controlled Association?

By now, just about every Malaysian has watched the most-lampooned political video on YouTube since VK Lingam's "correct, correct, correct"-- a full-grown deputy minister crying uncontrollably because he was left out of a weekly meeting of top MCA leaders.

By I Love Malaysia

Ignore the fact that this just shows how bottomless the self-esteem of MCA Youth chief Wee Ka Siong is. Or the fact that many of the videos on YouTube are tagged as "comedy" and have been used to elicit laughter on patients suffering from depression. Let's forget the fact that the skillful execution of political theatrics was blown when the "producers" even placed a blue box of "Premier" tissue in front of Wee before the press conference commenced (can verify this from the various YouTube videos).

Cry baby Wee and his Wanita counterpart Chew Mei Fun was just putting up a show for Umno. The rabid Chinese media had already reported that just minutes before the November 18 press conference, he was seen laughing heartily when Kelantan Senator Alex Wong cracked a joke about DAP MP Fong Po Kuan's new hairstyle.

Well, the "show" paid off as the delirious Sin Chew group of newspapers went into a tailspin portraying Ong Tee Keat as the worst dictator since Gengis Khan. Immediately, the white-haired Sin Chew senior editor Kuik Cheng Kang alerted the press corp covering DPM in Rome who launched a tirade attacking OTK from several time zones away. The next day, Wee and gang got what they have been yearning for: PM confirmed he's stepping in to resolve the MCA problems.

(As BN chairman, Najib has every right to show his concerns since he's been pressing most of the right buttons to win back support in time for the 13th general election. But some MCA leaders have other devillish ideas.)

Why do MCA's Three Stooges (Liow Tiong Lai, Wee Ka Siong and Chew Mei Fun) want Malay-Umno to step in to Chinese-MCA affairs? That's because that is the only way they could get instant promotion in the MCA. Corrupted greed has possessed the trio who are willing to sell their souls to the Devil for a crest in front of their official Proton Perdana which reads "Menteri" or a door plate which says "MCA President".

The thing is, Wee and gang had wanted to get rid of OTK without dragging in Umno. After the October 10 EGM, Wee (through his puppet Liow) thought they had staged a coup when they got 23 MCA Central Committee members to sign a letter in Nikko Hotel asking OTK to resign. But the number of pro-Wee Ka Siong CC members has, as of last count, dropped to 10 (http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/20091118204819/Article/index_html).

That's when WKS asked LTL to lead a delegation of 9 MCA MPs to see the PM and threatened Najib that they would quit to join Pakatan Rakyat unless OTK was removed. They had wanted to harp on OTK not keeping to his words about quitting but realised that they too have not kept to theirs about resigning if the EGM did not favour OTK. Besides, OTK can only be removed if 2/3 of the CC EGM wanted to remove him.The plan to see the PM failed miserably when only four MPs committed, including two siblings.

Caught on a backfoot, WKS decided that the next best thing is to get Umno to come in by playing victim and potraying OTK as the villian who has lost control of the MCA. Hence, the ceaseless calls for Maggi Mee (instant) fresh polls and pushing for the unlawful EGM. Then, Umno has justifications to stick its nose in.

How do you trust a man (WKS) who would resort to using an extra-party (Umno) and unconstitutional (EGM) means to topple a leader after exhausting all legal and internal avenues? Would such a man not be subservient to Umno?

Could anyone even imagine LTL thumbing his nose at Umno if he were handed the MCA presidency on a silver platter? Can such a man stand up and be counted by the Chinese community when he has to rely on his successor in MCA Youth (WKS) to lead him on what to say and how to act? Didin't LTL already agree to the MCA Greater Unity Plan on October 20 but changed his mind after WKS and CMF returned from Geneva?

Vegetarian LTL would even take bak kut teh for a week to preserve his position going by how his balls shrank under interrogation from MACC officers on Nov 11 over the Toyota Alphard bribery case, in his own Health Ministry (not even Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam where Teoh Beng Hock was found dead).

Does Chew Mei Fun who recorded one of BN's biggest electoral defeats in March 8 in terms of voting majority, have the spine for ANYTHING at all besides sucking up to Ong Kah Ting?

Can these people even come near Ong Tee Keat - despite his erratic character - in the way he stood up to the powerful forces in Umno by taking on the RM12.5 billion PKFZ scandal? Could they afford not to seek psychiatric treatment whenever the PM throws dirty glances at them when OTK himself had been censured not once, but twice by the Cabinet in the past (http://www.voiceofmalaysian.com/2008/10/06/i-have-been-yellow-carded-6-times-says-mcas-tee-keat/)?

And speaking of PKFZ, where was the MCA Youth chief when OTK was at the firing range while getting to the bottom of the scandal? Instead of sticking his neck out for OTK - as the Youth wing is expected to - WKS stayed away to protect his cosy relations with Tiong King Sing, who's really backed by powerful quarters in Umno.

It is very telling just what kind of substance Mastermind Crybaby Actor (MCA) is made of if he can shed buckets of tears just because he's been left out of a weekly meeting (actually he could attend as an invited member but he chose to ignore that fact). That being the case, MCA (the political party) and the Chinese community should be the ones crying bucketloads if WKS is elevated. And their tears will be genuine, not like his crocodile ones.

Liow sounds like 'off-key Chinese opera singer'

'He is sounding worse than a off-key Chinese opera singer with an equally off tune supporting ensemble. This gruesome threesome has flushed every shred of dignity left to the pathetic MCA has down the political toilet.'

Fresh polls only way out: Liow says it again

Jacob George: In the American legal system, it is called 'entrapment' and the defence lawyers will have a field day in court and the damages will run into millions, not forgetting the political fallout. But I fully agree that this matter should be re-opened and there's no need to be a political scientist to know whose names will emerge.

We forget that laws were broken, there was an invasion of privacy, there was illegal recording and massive distribution of a personal and private relationship which was none of anybody's business.

Those behind had the motive, the opportunity, the finance, the network and they controlled a certain group of media. They did it not because they 'had the love of Jesus in their hearts' but because it was the 'political kill' of an opponent who was and still is well-respected as a person, politician and ex-minister.

Takjamin: Put two lawyers on opposite sides and you will get two divergent opinions on a very simple statement. Can anybody trust them to say that their call for an EGM is proper?

Pathetic: Liow Tiong Lai is sounding worse than a off-key Chinese opera singer with an equally off tune supporting ensemble. This gruesome threesome has flushed every shred of dignity left to the pathetic MCA has down the political toilet.

This by repeating the plaintive pleas to the bully in the room. Oh, how the founders of this once great party must be turning over in their graves.

Nicholas Lim Ming Xhin: The 'snoop squad' is real. Otherwise, who would have spent the effort and money to record Chua Soi Lek in a hotel room, burn the recording into thousands of DVDs and distribute it across the country?

These things need financial backing as well as political muscle. So it is very relevant for us to find out the truth about the 'snoop squad' and not dismiss it as an outdated matter.

Laws were broken (invasion of privacy, illegal recordings, distributing of pornography) and people need to be held accountable. Is Liow Tiong Lai afraid about the truth of the 'snoop squad' surfacing?

Heng claims unaware of move to topple Chew Mei Fun

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 23 – Wanita MCA secretary-general Senator Heng Seai Kie said she was unaware of a move to bring down its chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun.

“I have not heard about this. We will be having a meeting tomorrow on the fresh elections for the party. We will know about it (move against Chew) tomorrow,” she told reporters at the parliament lobby today.

Heng was commenting on a report in a local Chinese daily today of an alleged conspiracy among some Wanita MCA central committee members to bring down Chew, who is in the camp opposed to party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.

Asked whether there was a need for MCA to also hold fresh elections for posts in the Wanita and Youth wings along with the central working committee, she said: “Whatever the problem, we should try to minimise and not enlarge it.”

Heng, who is also Deputy Information Communication and Culture Minister, said the party had agreed to give six months for the “greater unity plan” proposed by Ong to be executed before fresh polls are held.

Meanwhile, MCA Youth head Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong said he was unaware of a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the restructuring of the party’s central working committee as mentioned by Heng.

“I am upset as I have not received any information on this. Either there was miscommunication or wrong information given,” he said.

Wee, who is also Deputy Education Minister, said he also received a text message from the MCA headquarters that there would be a meeting on Tuesday to discuss on increasing the number of delegates for the next party elections or to have direct elections.

“This has nothing to do with the proposal to cancel the extraordinary general meeting which is scheduled this Saturday,” he said.

Commenting on the need to have fresh elections this year instead of next year, Wee said: “We have not had our annual general meeting for this year and by right we must do it before Dec 31.” – Bernama

Be patient , Tiong Lai says Chua What's the hurry ?

Sunday, 22 November 2009 19:28

IPOH - MCA deputy president Dr Chua Soi Lek has appealed for patience from party vice-president Liow Tiong Lai over fixing the date for fresh party elections. He said this was because no one in the party was out to deny another the right to hold fresh polls as demanded by Liow and his group, reported Bernama. "We have all agreed that we should hold fresh party elections but the issue is the date. In my opinion, there's not much difference between holding it in January or March. What is more important is ensuring unity in the party...the internal crisis be resolved in the interests of MCA and Barisan Nasional," he told reporters before attending a meeting with Perak MCA members here Sunday. Chua said he had explained to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak at their meeting recently that many delegates would not be able to attend if the fresh polls are held next month. March is suitable time "There'll be problems too if it's held in January or February because of the Chinese New Year celebrations. So, we feel March is the most suitable time and earliest for fresh party polls to be held," he said. Chua also said that perhaps the time had come to close the chapter on the snoop squad in the party and instead hand the report on the matter to those concerned. "People like me are affected, so I would like to see the report. We were called as witnesses but the report was never given to us. This will give rise to speculations which unfortunately will happen. "Even dead people are exhumed for pathology report to create transparency, to make sure that people are satisfied with the findings and that is important," he added. I have said previously in my open letter to him Also PM has already said and told you and everyone that elections for the cc be held only after the Party has stabilise for a period of six months . Why are you still harping on wanting elections ? Is it because you are suffering from a terminal disease and can't wait for six months ? Is six months a too long period for you , that you might drop dead within that time ?

‘Reveal probe findings’

IPOH: The findings of the MCA investigation panel into the snoop squad should be revealed to close the chapter on the issue, said Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

The party deputy president said this would ensure that those called to give evidence to the panel were satisfied.

“I would love to see the report as I was among the affected parties. If the report is not given to the witnesses, it will give rise to speculation,” he said yesterday before a briefing for Perak MCA members on party issues.

Dr Chua was asked to comment on a call by Puchong MCA division vice-chairman Datuk Theng Book that the MCA snoop squad case be reopened by the presidential council in the light of “new evidence”.

Theng was quoted as saying that he found three volumes of the MCA investigation panel report on the existence of a “three-man secret committee” dated June 10, 2008 placed in a box outside his office about two weeks ago.

Dr Chua said he had only learnt through press reports that former party president Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting was not involved in the squad. Thru press reports ..... and you know the press , money can do wonders .

On another matter, Dr Chua said for the party’s sake, everyone should sit down and agree on a date for fresh party polls.

Urging vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai to be patient, Dr Chua stressed that no one was denying him the right to demand for fresh party polls.

“The only issue is the date,” he said. Asked whether he had tried to contact Liow on the matter, Dr Chua said: “I have not spoken to him directly but whether he has talked to the president I have no idea.”

In GEORGE TOWN, Liow said the call to reopen the snoop squad case was another attempt to smear his name. Smear his name ? If you have done nothing wrong , why should you be afraid ?

The issue, he added, had long been resolved during Ka Ting’s leadership. Ka Ting's leadership ? Isn't he involved also ? And the then disciplinary council all his yes man ?

An investigation was conducted and his name cleared, he added. Same story like the autopsy on Teoh Beng Hock , need to have a second autopsy . Porntip says homicde , the other say suicide .

“I think this is just plain politicking. There are lots of attempts against me,” he told reporters after meeting with party delegates from Penang at a restaurant yesterday. Aren't you involve in plain politicking with all your nonsense EGM2 ?

Also present were Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong and Wanita chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun.

Infected with MCA's disease....

And now Husam Musa wants to resign unless they go ...wonder who is they ? Hadi and Nasruddin ?

Too much MCA news , a little refreshing news , but the similarities are there , PAS following MCA's footsteps .

Torn Between Two Political Directions

Friday, 13 November 2009 04:07 |

PAS leaders may be underestimating the severity of the rifts in the party over its position in Pakatan Rakyat.

BY ZUBAIDAH ABU BAKAR

In Malaysia's Islamist party, PAS, while president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has executive power, spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has the affection and respect of many.

The older cleric's appointment as Mursyidul 'Am (spiritual leader), heading the influential 15-member Majlis Syura Ulama (consultative council of Islamic scholars) of which Hadi is a member obviously grants Nik Aziz higher status among the party faithful.

His role of providing guidance to PAS, giving substance to the party's kepimpinan ulama concept adopted in 1982, and his political maturity, having been active in politics for the last four decades, makes him an icon.

Nik Aziz helps interpret party policies according to the Quran and fundamental tenets of Islam, as stipulated by the party constitution. The council's main tasks are to:

- Elaborate, explain and interpret policies and other constitutional provisions, ascertaining their meaning and purpose;

- Issue directives and rulings to ensure the council's policies and decisions are adhered to and implemented; and,

- Ensure that policies and decisions as well as constitutional provisions are adhered to in party activities and administration.

Such is the reality, leaving the frequently asked question of who is the real captain of the ship. Party members are often confused as to whom they should listen to -- the party president or the Mursyidul 'Am. As both leaders control major chunks of the party's nearly one million members, any clash of views between them could be detrimental to the party.

Nik Aziz wants PAS to remain with Parti Keadilan Rakyat and DAP in Pakatan Rakyat; Hadi is in favour of cooperating with UMNO.

The rifts are quite deep.

Factions have emerged -- one rallying behind Hadi in support of closer ties with UMNO, and the "Erdogans" who support Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim because of the Parti Keadilan Rakyat leader's ties with Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"Who is the real authority in the party?" asked Mohd Khairil Anuar Wafa, a delegate from Negri Sembilan, at the party's political seminar last week.

"The president or the Mursyidul 'Am?"

The meeting was intended to strengthen the party's ranks and dispel persistent notions of an irrevocable split between the two clerics over the contentious issues that are putting PAS' commitment to Pakatan Rakyat in question.

Khairil's observation that the grassroots are confused over whose orders they should follow is no small matter.

"We don't want two captains in one ship."

That the political seminar was held in lieu of an extraordinary meeting Nik Aziz had called to weed out "problematic" leaders -- those acting against Pakatan Rakyat -- did little to unite the factions.

The status quo remains, despite the day-long seminar having reiterated PAS' strong stand against any "unity talks" with UMNO.

Grassroots leaders still want the party leadership to state clearly the parameters of collaboration; their main concern being the instilling of Islamic principles in a prospective Pakatan Rakyat administration.

Hadi knows that his declaration that "there is no way for this issue (of unity talks with UMNO) to be raised again", stressing the importance of strengthening the Pakatan Rakyat coalition, failed to convince.

Hadi, whose one-term leadership was rejected by the voters of Terengganu, has often been perceived as hard-headed. He is viewed with suspicion and even fear by more moderate party members and non-Muslim supporters as well as those in PKR and DAP.

It was noted that his keynote address at the seminar was not in alignment with Nik Aziz's stand that PAS had no objection to being in a formal coalition (a move to register Pakatan Rakyat as an entity is under way).

Hadi, however, while stating PAS wanted to cement cooperation in the opposition pact, also portrayed PAS as a party that could stand on its own. This has been viewed as a message to PAS' allies that the party did not need them to win elections.

Since agreeing to be part of the hastily cobbled-together Pakatan Rakyat, the difference of opinions over PAS' position in the pact has taken centre-stage at two party muktamar (general assemblies), which failed to address the concerns amicably.

Even last June's party elections saw a joust between candidates supporting closer ties with UMNO and the Erdogans.

PAS' poor performance in the Manik Urai by-election a month later, where its candidate scraped through with a 65-vote majority, was also a result of factional disputes over who should and should not campaign in the Erdogan faction-controlled area.

According to Universiti Malaya media department lecturer Dr Abu Hassan Hasbullah, support for PAS has been on the decline, with only about 10 per cent of young people supporting it; a dangerous indication, as young voters will be prominent in the 13th general election.

Dr Abu Hassan's study indicated that the image and public perception of PAS had plunged since the general election last year.

One shocker in the findings was that most of those who answered negatively among the 41-50 age group were from the Malay-belt states, especially on the east coast, which has always been a PAS stronghold.

PAS should also be concerned that members of its non-Muslim Supporters' Club are getting restless waiting for the party leadership to officially to transform the club into a legal entity as promised, a move with which some leaders are uncomfortable.

There are signs that UMNO, which like PAS is vying for the support of the Malays who form 55 per cent of the country's 28 million people, is regaining the lost Malay vote.
