PERAK STATE ASSEMBLY TO BE DISSOLVED TODAY TO PAVE WAY FOR FRESH STATE ELECTIONS

Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Ir Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin is expected to have an audience with the Sultan of Perak in the afternoon to seek the dissolution of the State Assembly, paving the way for a fresh State Elections to overcome the present political crisis created by UMNO-led Barisan Nasional by inducing monies to 'buy' Opposition lawmakers to indirectly take control of the State administration.

It had been reported that another 'missing' Assemblywoman from DAP, Deputy Speaker Hee Yit Foong has resigned from her party today, creating uncertainty in the Opposition to administer the State.

The best alternative would be to dissolved the State Assembly and let the Perak rakyat elect a new State government.

CHANGKAT JERING AND BEHRANG STATE SEATS REMAIN VACANT DESPITE ELECTION COMMISSION RULING

With the 'resignation letters' of Changkat Jering and Behrang State Assemblymen which was handed to the Perak State Speaker, V Sivakumar, while not disputed as regards to the letters by the respective Assemblymen Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi (Behrang) and Mohd. Osman Jailu (Changkat Jering), the Election Commission when notified would have to make arrangements to call for fresh elections.

Its revealed that the Election Commission has no inherent powers to decide whether a vacancy has occurred in a constituency and has no discretionary authority to override the notification of the Speaker of the Perak State Assembly declaring that the state seats of Changkat Jering and Behrang have fallen vacant following the resignations of the incumbents of these seats.

Election Commission Chairperson Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof told a packed press conference at the commission's headquarters in Putrajaya at 1pm today that the it has decided that it does not have the power to invoke Article 36(5) of the Constitution of the State of Perak to establish that there are casual vacancies for both these constituencies since they have received formal letter from the respective Assemblymen that they are not resigning.

It seems that the Election Commission’s decision is ultra virus to the Constitution and seem to be taking instructions from the ruling UMNO-led Barisan Nasional government, who were the main cause in this dispute by offering monetary handouts and promising no court action would be instituted if they crossover to the Barisan Nasional.

The HRH Sultan of Perak should allow the current State government to be DISSOLVED and a fresh elections be conducted to overcome this predicament.

BRITAIN HIT BY SNOW

Britain has been experiencing a heavy amount of snow fall last night and it is predicted that the snow fall would continue until late tonight, creating about 4 to 6 feet of snow level.

A very interesting sight but be CAUTIOUS.

OVERCOME CURRENT POLITICAL TURMOIL - SNAP GENERAL ELECTIONS

Defection....defection - are the words we hear for past few days. The Barisan Nasional had engineered a scheme to topple Opposition State government by 'buying' Opposition lawmakers by inducing money and by overcoming their problems, ensuring corruption cases are withdrawn.

But rather than succeeding in their quest, our UMNO-led Barisan Nasional government have landed themselves deeper into more trouble. With the current uncertainty, the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi may be forced to call for a SNAP GENERAL ELECTIONS, so that a able and calibre government would be elected to form federal and state governments. But looking at the current situation it is expected that it would be disastrous to the ruling Barisan Nasional since it is seem to be of uncaring, useless, arrogant and corrupted, which Malaysians on the whole want to eradicate once and for all and the best avenue would be at a general election.

This morning, in Perak, the Mentri Besar had an audience with the Sultan of Perak to dissolve the State Assembly and to hold fresh State elections, while the Perak State Speaker had met with State Election Commission Director to inform him about the resignation of the 2 state seats and the signed 'resignation letter' which is now disputed, to call for a by-election.

With these series of events, many others are going to capitalise on this issue and create a political tsunami, forcing the BN federal government to hold a snap general elections.

The TIME FOR CHANGE is just about to happen. Be prepared to VOTE WISELY.

BARISAN NASIONAL FAILS TO 'BUY' OPPOSITION LAWMAKERS TO TOPPLE OPPOSITION PAKATAN RAKYAT GOVERNMENT

News of defection sent heat waves to the Opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition with the claims of 'missing' Assemblymen and Assemblywoman in Perak. Now, there is an ultimatum issued by the Pakatan Rakyat that any lawmaker who is found incommunicado within 24 hours without valid reasons would be deem to have resigned, has sent fear to the eager and manipulative Barisan Nasional leaders who have found it tough to meet their agenda to woo Opposition lawmakers secretly into their fold in the hope of toppling the Opposition State governments.

But to their dismay, Barisan Nasional lawmakers on their own accord due to unhappiness with the BN leadership are about to crossover, creating greater turmoil to the already troubled political situation within the Barisan Nasional coalition.

With the commencement of tick for tack reasons, UMNO-led Barisan Nasional leaders had induced millions of public funds to 'buy' these Opposition lawmakers. But to their surprise, the strategy mounted by the Opposition had failed to fulfill their political 'game'.

This is the first time that the 'master' Barisan Nasional have been defeated by their own tricks by a able and calibre Opposition leaders.

The time for CHANGE seem to be very near but BN fears to accept this situation.

BY-ELECTIONS IN TWO PERAK STATE CONSTITUENCIES WITHIN 60 DAYS

Perak State Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar informed that with the 'resignation' of State Assemblymen, Jamaluddin Mat Radzi and Mohd Osman Jailu of Behrang and Changkat Jering respectively at 5.45pm today, this paves the way for by-elections in the two constituencies within 60 days.

The Election Commission would be officially be informed on Monday morning. The Commission would then deliberate if by-elections are to be called and when.

This ENDS the speculation and BUYING of lawmakers by the arrogant and corrupted Barisan Nasional. BN RUGI LAGI.

BARISAN NASIONAL LEADERSHIP COUNTER-ATTACK BY 'BUYING' OPPOSITION LAWMAKERS TO JOIN BN

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi confirmed that a few Opposition lawmakers would be crossing over to the Barisan Nasional anytime from now while speaking to reporters after officiating the Federal Territory Day Celebration at Kuala Lumpur this morning. This is a counter-attack over the crossover of Bota Barisan Nasional Assemblyman, Datuk Nasaruddin Hashim, who joined PKR over his unhappiness with the UMNO leadership.

The Perak State government have experience the 'missing' of their State Executive Councillors, Jamaluddin Mat Radzi and Osman Bin Jailu, both from PKR, for the past 5 days and its been rumoured that the Barisan Nasional have offered these Assemblymen RM10 Million each and with the assurance that no court action for corruption would be instituted, which these two lawmakers are currently charged for. Its also rumoured that the post of Perak Mentri Besar has also been offered to one of them to induce them to crossover immediately.

Latest unconfirmed reports claim that another DAP lawmaker, Deputy Speaker Hee Yit Fong has also been influenced to crossover so that the current administration could be replaced by the Barisan Nasional State government.

But whatever the circumstances, it seems that our uncaring, useless, arrogant and corrupted UMNO-led Barisan Nasional government seem to be using public funds to meet their own political agenda, depriving beneficial project for the rakyat.

The rakyat need to demand the Barisan Nasional federal government to call for a SNAP GENERAL ELECTIONS immediately to give the rakyat to choose a able and calibre government to govern our country.

ARE MALAYSIAN INDIANS BULLIED?

Look at the way our UMNO-led Barisan Nasional government conducts its racism, injustices, discrimination and marginalization of the minority Indians in Malaysia, by identifying recent incidences like, 22 year old A. Kugan was severely beaten, abused and murdered while in police custody (INJUSTICE), the Vallambrosa Tamil Primary School in Kapar was forced to conduct lessons for 69 primary two students at the school canteen (MARGINALISATION), a little girl named Darshini of standard 5 lives with a fear of being thrown out of school because she does not have a birth certificate (DISCRIMINATION), a Hindu woman fell victim to the obnoxious racist abuses of a fellow Malaysian Muslim passenger on board a Malaysian flight (RACISM) and the government has decided not to pursue the obvious and desperately needed Race Relations Act.

A food for thought for caring Malaysians!!!!! Today its the Indians, tomorrow the Chinese, Ibans, Kadazans, and finally the Malays who are NOT UMNOPUTRAS.

Only a CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT can overcome these abused of power.

Are we prepared for CHANGE and we have to do it NOW by TOPPLING this 'uncaring, useless, arrogant and corrupted' UMNO-led Barisan Nasional government.

UMNO AT THE CROSS-ROAD - TO ABIDE BY THE WISHES OF UMNOPUTRAS OR TO RESPECT THE LAWS OF MALAYSIA

With almost 900 cases of corruption reported against UMNOputras at every level, and the protest at yesterday's UMNO Supreme Council venue to oppose the interference of the MACC against their 'corrupted act', UMNO seems to be heading to a CROSS-ROAD on whether the Laws of Malaysia passed by Parliament is supreme or order the MACC not to interfere with their affairs since its their own family affair and UMNO knows how to handle it 'effectively'.

Once again it demonstrate that UMNOputras want to take the law in their own hands and does not want to listen and obey laws enacted by Parliament.

As an ordinary Malaysian citizen, its time the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional government allow the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to carry out its duties without any interference so that the corruption menace created by UMNO itself will be eradicated.

The most influential and quickest decision UMNO can take to eradicate CORRUPTION is to de-register itself immediately, which every sensible Malaysian knows will never happen since the repercussion are enormous - every UMNO leaders would face arrest and charge.

Is the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak going to assure the Malaysians that MACC, a parliament formed body is SUPREME and should be allowed to institute any action forthcoming as provided for by the law.

UMNO/BN TO FACE FURTHER DEFECTIONS FROM NEGERI SEMBILAN & PERAK

Its been rumoured that the UMNO/Barisan Nasional lawmakers are about to defect to the Opposition despite the assurance by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak that there is no such evidence. Its been reported that the current problems within the UMNO and Barisan Nasional had triggered these lawmakers to crossover.

It has been predicted that another 2 lawmakers in Perak and about 4 lawmakers in Negeri Sembilan are in the verge of defection. If the 4 lawmakers defect in Negeri Sembilan, the State government now controlled by Barisan Nasional will collapse and would be taken over by the Opposition.

Finally, history is about to repeat itself and on its maker (UMNO/BN) who forced themselves to oust the PBS Sabah State government sometime in 1994 with their usual dirty tricks.

Its time for the Barisan Nasional leaders to start listening to the grouses of the Malaysian public before its too late.

Do you believe Barisan Nasional will CHANGE?

TAJOL ROSLI QUITS AS PERAK UMNO CHIEF WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT

The UMNO Supreme Council Meeting that took place from 9pm to 12.30am (this morning) received the resignation of Datuk Seri Mohd. Tajol Rosli Ghazali, who was Perak UMNO chief with immediate effect and was replaced by Deputy UMNO President, Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak.

It has been rumoured that Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli was undermined by the entire Supreme Council members due to the recent cross-over of Bota State Assemblyman, Datuk Nasarudin Hashim to PKR, and further reports that a few would follow his footsteps.

The UMNO Supreme Council appointed Minister in the Prime Ministers Department, Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as the Deputy Perak Chief during this interim.

It seems that UMNO is starting to crack and if it does not listen to its members and Malaysian public, its demise is almost near.

UMNO NEED TO BE BANNED & DEREGISTERED TO OVERCOME CORRUPTION. ARE UMNOPUTRAS READY TO ACCEPT THIS FACT.

The entire UMNO structure have been infected with CORRUPTION and to claim that certain lately created branches were the main cause is unacceptable. UMNO disciplinary committee chairperson Tengku Ahmad Rithauddeen claims that Putera and Puteri and also Youth and Wanita wings of UMNO should be scrapped to overcome corruption is completely rubbish. UMNO on the whole should be banned and de-registered, and this menace would immediately be overcome.

The major problem is a culture has been created and that is why so much of money and time have been invested by 'greedy' UMNOputras to become Branch Chairman, Divisional Chairman and Supreme Council leaders and members. It is reveal that 'money' could be made just by holding these position. This all started with the Mahathir era, just to get their support to remain in power to ruin this rich country of ours by controlling the ruling government Barisan Nasional.

Now this menace has corrupted the whole UMNO system and management.

The only solution - BAN & DE-REGISTER UMNO.

Are UMNOputras prepared to face this fact or continue to blame others for their fallacy.

WHERE IS SAMY VELLU AND GOONS AT KUGAN'S FUNERAL PROCESSION

It must be really surprising to the Indian community in Malaysia that the one who claims to 'champion' for the Indians, Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu and his MIC leaderships were MISSING and OUT OF SIGHT during the funeral procession of A Kugan who was murdered while in police custody. It could be seen that more than 1,000 well-wishes of various ethnical background were present to see that justice will be well served. Its time for the Indian community to abandon the MIC immediately since they FEAR the UMNO lead Barisan Nasional government, who are considered evil of justice to the rakyat.

To take a point of interest from M Waythamoorthy's comments today, it could be said that since the police at Taipan Subang Jaya Police Station had done this 'murder' it would be rightful for the police officers and policemen to be arrested and kept in remand until an independent public inquiry has been done. The law is very strict on this rule, since these policemen could tamper with evidence.

The time has come for the Malaysian rakyat to DEMAND change - change of this uncaring, useless, arrogant and corrupted UMNO led Barisan Nasional government and the total police force.

Let's MARCH TO SEE THIS CHANGE.

POLICE & BN AGENTS TO PROVOCATE AN INCIDENT AT KUGAN'S FUNERAL TO JUSTIFY THEIR ACTIONS

With intense heat on the Police force since the brutal murder of police detainee A Kugan while in police custody for investigations into theft of luxury cars in the Klang Valley, and to justify and 'bail' themselves of any accusations, it is reported that the police via their special branch officers and agents from Barisan Nasional mainly from UMNO will be deployed to create a provocative incident during the scheduled funeral on tomorrow (Wednesday) and the crowd of mourners attending this funeral have to be 'WARNED & TO BE BEWARE'.

This could be ascertained with the remarks made by Selangor Police Chief, Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar warning those attending the funeral of Kugan not to participate in any illegal gathering or carrying banners and posters and warned those attending not to be politicised or turned into an illegal demonstration as it would disrupt public order and lead to chaos.

BN/UMNO regime is becoming fearful that the funeral of Kugan will not only turn into a public display of anger against the Police but also against the uncaring, useless, arrogant and corrupted UMNO led Barisan Nasional government by its own Indian led coalition partners and Indian public who have lately seen themselves as a target of attack to instill fear that this minority group should just listen and obey and jangan cakap banyak.

According to the Scribe, there are reason to believe that agent provocateurs will be planted by the Police Special Branch among the crowd of mourners to instigated trouble so that the Police and the Evil BN/UMNO regime can blame it on Pakatan Rakyat and the banned HINDRAF. This will give excuse to Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar the need to use the Police Act, the Emergency Ordinace Act and the ISA to stifle public dissent mainly against the Indian community against a corrupt and discredited despotic regime.

The organizers of Kugan's funeral must exercise extreme caution so as not to give the Evil Police and the Evil UMNO led BN government the excuse to act.

SYED HAMID - UMNO WILL FACE 'DEATH SENTENCE' IF IT DOES NOT CHANGE

Home Minister and UMNO Supreme Council member, Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar in an unprecedented move informed that UMNO must change before the people pass a "death sentence" on it (Bernama).

Datuk Seri Syed Hamid claimed that change was timely as the party's image had been badly tarnished by cases involving UMNOputras detained for alleged corruption by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

"Embracing change and cleaning up the party must be discussed by the party's top leaders with members.

"Everyone, including the President and supreme council members must take responsibility so that our party is not given the death sentence," he prophetically cautioned.

It seems very clear that UMNOputras especially their uncaring, arrogant and corrupted leaders have become fearful that their time is up and feel that by saying these words, the rakyat, more so the UMNO members would 'buy' their story and let them continue to rule our rich country in the pretext that they are the only party that can perform this duty since they have ruled for the past 52 years.

The best solution - DISSOLVE UMNO now and we have got rid of the menace.

Can we see it happen?

UMNO LEADERS SHOULD STOP DAY DREAMING & START CARING FOR SOCIETY

During the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) Chinese New Year Open House celebration at Wisma MCA in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak was pressured to respond on the crossover of UMNO Bota Assemblyman Datuk Nasarudin Hashim to PKR, had refuted claims by the Opposition that there will be many UMNO/BN lawmakers making a crossover due to UMNO and Barisan Nasional not keeping with their wishes of the rakyat. While attending the GERAKAN Chinese New Year Open House later, when pressed for the sudden crossover, Datuk Seri Najib claimed that Bota Assemblyman should have discussed with UMNO and BN to resolved any grievances that had arised.

UMNO and Barisan Nasional leaders need to realise that their days are numbered unless they start caring into the needs of the rakyat and are prepared to listen to every segment of society in our multi-racial community and not just the UMNOputras.

Law and order need to be restored with more accountability and transparency. The recent police brutal murder of Kugan while in detention sparks that the police system, the medical system and the judiciary are all manipulated for the best interest of the UMNO led Barisan Nasional government. When UMNOputras had committed crimes, nothing had been forthcoming. These double standards need to be addressed immediately if faith in this current government could be restored.

The global economic crisis has effected various countries including our neighbours but our UMNO government seem not to care and waste public funds to their whims and fancies. Its time for the BN government to buckle up and face reality. Stern measures need to be formulated to avoid a major recession, while the government need to carry out its function with integrity, transparency and with accountability.

Since UMNO and its BN coalition have been highly corrupted this Malaysian dream will never materialise unless this uncaring, ineffective, inefficient, arrogant and corrupted UMNO led Barisan Nasional government is TOPPLE once and for all.

The greatest deed outgoing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi could do would be to call for a SNAP GENERAL ELECTION, giving Malaysian a new and able government to chart a good and progressive future for the generation to come.

Will Datuk Seri Abdullah do this for the sake of Malaysians?

HOME MINISTER SYED HAMID ALBAR RESORTS TO THREATENING RATHER THAN RESIGNING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY

Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar seems to be threatened Deputy Ministers in the Prime Minister's Department for serving the poor and helpless members of the public in their quest to seek justice in relation to the brutal murder of police detainee Kugan at the Taipan Police Station in Subang Jaya. The Deputy Ministers involved are MIC leader, S.K. Devamany and PPP leader T. Murugiah.

Rather than RESIGNING for the brutal murder committed by his Ministry, this 'incompetent, useless and corrupted' Home Minister has resorted to THREATENING and claims that since Kugan, 22, who was detained on 15 January on SUSPICION of being involved in the theft of luxury cars in Sungai Chua, Kajang.

The time has come for Malaysians to demand the resignation of the Home Minister, IGP, Selangor CPO , OCPD of the Taipan, Subang Jaya Police Station and all the police officers involved in this brutal murder.

The doctor who had been forced to fabricate a report should be jailed, sentenced and disqualify from medical practice for life.

Its time our UMNO led Barisan Nasional government take a serious look into this brutal murder and assure the rakyat that justice will be fair served and punished everyone connected with this brutal murder whether directly or indirectly.

Bota State Assemblyman Datuk Nasarudin Hashim is quitting UMNO to join PKR, bringing the total number of state seats held by the Pakatan Rakyat alliance here to 32, versus Barisan Nasional’s 27.

While speaking at a press conference with PKR Advisor and de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today, the former Parit MP informed that he was joining PKR with immediate effect since he was doing this in the interest of the people, especially his supporters and voters, who have become more confident in PKR’s commitment to protecting the rights and interests of all races rather than UMNO which is uncaring, arrogant, corrupted and only cares for close aides of UMNO leaders.

Datuk Nasarudin was a former Felcra Berhad Chairman and was an administrative and diplomatic officer in Wisma Putra, and also served at the Information Ministry. Datuk Nasarudin joined UMNO in the 1970s and had held the post of branch head since 1985.

At last the first official UMNO defections has began, and it is expected many more will follow.
