Merdeka Hijacked?

This year’s lead up to the Merdeka celebrations has been the most disappointing for me. Merdeka or the Independence day celebrations is one of the most important events for any country. It marks the nation being independant of previous rulers. The opportunity for our own people to run the show, to form a nation that is built by our own for our future ..

Just look at the ‘world class’ logo above .. Janji Ditepati? Which means Promise fulfilled? Have a look at the ruling party’s election pitch below. See the resemblance , maybe a coincidence .. i don’t know

It gets worst, the theme song for this year’s celebration is written than honourable Information Minister , Rais Yatim .. How about that! Are the real song writers on break?

Lyrics , if your interested

Its going to get dirty… this is nothing but the result of too much power for too long . There must be a balance .. I hope we get that balance soon.

As Seen By MIC

Its all over the news, BN’s Supreme Council meeting last week, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, who is also Umno vice president, was tasked with looking into amending the BN’s constitution to enable direct-membership to individuals and groups who wish to associate with the coalition but do not want to join any of its component parties.

Good move? Not good enough for me but its a good step in the right direction.

Anyway, this move wont be easy to implement and one of its “core party” has already spoken

The MIC is expected to resist the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition’s proposal to allow membership for friendly individuals, political parties and non-governmental organisations. This is because the party, which boasts of 630,000 members, will lose its “monopoly” at the Barisan supreme council when it comes to Indian matters if other Indian-based political parties are allowed to join, say political pundits.

Good news for Indians in the country! Soon the “tiger” will be loosing its tooth and if you vote for the rulling coalition. What does this mean?

The MIC will definitely lose its dominance but it will be a boon to the Indian community as the Barisan leadership will be able to hear directly the problems faced by Indians, generally from various parties, rather than just from the MIC alone,” said former MIC vice-president Tan Sri M. Mahalingam.

What do i think about this? Continue reading »

Power Strugle

Since March 8th 2008 our nation has been in one heck-u-va political limbo. There have been by elections after by-elections(some natural and some not) there have been change of leadership,there have been hostile take overs and even challenges within parties.

As a Malaysian its sick to have such a situation. Yes, we are lucky that we are in a country that does not have war and riots but that does not mean we should be using that as a excuse. Politicians come in many different shapes,sizes and motives.

Some are genuine, some have interest and some are pure rubbish. Whats funny is when the politicians come out and say the dumbest things with a straight face and when they get criticized for it, they get offended! I was at a bookshop over the weekend and stumbled upon a book called “Malaysian politicians say the darnest things“. Not surprisingly there was a certain “semi value” who featured very frequently and it makes me wonder if we have been blind,deaf or pure ignorant all these years!

This whole political limbo must end! Its becoming soo sickening that Malaysians who had some hope are loosing that now and its time that they got to work and stop politicking! Have you seen the latest political strugle in PPP? The BN component party is having a power struggle to decide who is the leader of the party.

They suspend the contender, then the contender becomes the party leader then the incumbent leader tells him to go form his own party! ….Its a JOKE!

Its sickening simply reading the papers everyday. The kind of reports of how you said this and i do that is making the papers look like some sorta comic strip!
