the way I see it
Parliament speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia confirmed that the new Member of Parliament from Permatang Pauh will be sworn in tommorow the 29th of August 2008. This is great new which will allow the new opposition leader to be in the parliament when the budget is tabled.
Well done to the speaker for this speedy work and not delaying the process.
I logged into Malaysia-Today to get my daily dose of RPK and i couldn’t get in!!Then after consulting my IT expert friend he got a posting done and this is the outcome :

RPK was at Permatang Pauh last night to speak to the supporters. Rumours are that one of the organizers told him that technically he coudnt speak to the crowd as he was not covered under the police permit. You know what happens when you piss RPK off?
Excerpts from his speech :
He reminded the crowd of about 2,000-2,500 ( and the police ) that his grandfather, Raja Sir Tun Uda, was once the governor of Penang.
“This is my grandfather’s state”, he roared to the loud approval of the crowd.
He reminded the crowd that we would not have achieved independence from the British if the UMNO leaders were not allowed to travel the length and breadth of the country to spread the spirit and message of ‘Merdeka’.
“The Constitution guarantees us the right of speech and expression”.
No concerns of a lack of a permit was going to stop this anak Bangsa Malaysia tonight.
“Is this the government that we now have after we got rid of the British? If so, I would rather have the British back”.
Amazing Race is in its 3rd Season. Ive watching season 1 and 2 which were pretty good and now its time where a new set of teams from all over Asia challenge for the crown of the new season.
The casting is over and its now down to 10 teams with the seasoned host Alan Wu is back as the host.The producers are calling this installment the “The Toughest Race” ever, the focus of this season is not on the locations, but in the challenges teams must now face, which were designed with the team’s relationships in mind, and created to test their strengths. This race will definitely not be a walk in the park for the new contestants.The grand prize stands at USD$100,000 for the winners.
Who are the new teams? [Read more...]
The tussle to get Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim to be the member of parliament for Permatang Pauh is over. At approximately 10.02pm the EC announced that Anwar Ibrahim has won the P44 seat with the below results :
Anwar got 31,195
Arif Shah, 15,524
Hanafi, 92
Majority : 15,671
A landslide victory in my books for the defacto leader who now can become the leader for PKR, the leader for the opposition and the leader to push for Putrajaya. I was watching the live coverage on Bernama tv and the panel were discussing the elections but there wasn’t any live cross overs to show the announcements what so ever.
It was hilarious when Tan Sri Mohd Taib was interviewed over the phone and he kept saying that its expected and its Anwars home,home,home ground(after being prompted by the host) so he has to do well. He was also talking about some crap about how BN lost more votes yada yada yada.. The host then asked Tan Sri Mohd Taib about Anwar statement saying that winning Permatang Pauh will set him to seize Putrajaya from BN and like a charm the line got disconnected …How convenient isn’t it 
Now its for Anwar to get sworn in and start consolidating and further strengthening the Pakatan to make a push for Putrajaya. The budget will be tabled on the 29th of Aug and i would love to see DSAI sitting on the opposition leaders seat listening to Pak Lah reading out the budget.
And how would Pak Lah feel about all this? [Read more...]
