The Perak Fiasco

The Perak state government has crumbled! This has been confirmed today after the announcement of the King and its effectively a BN ruled state. Below are a series of video’s from the now former MB and the new Perak UMNO chief announcing that BN have now taken over the state of Perak.

I was speaking to many people today and the general consensus is that the people are not happy with the way things have unfolded. This is the height of a hostile take over!

What difference a leader makes eh! Image the change that can happen when we have a new leader! Malaysians, brace your self for “change

The Former speaking to the media :

The new Perak UMNO chief making the proud annoucement :

Here’s Your Najib T-Shirt

Tan Sri Annuar Musa adviced Malaysians to wear a Najib T-Shirt instead of the inspirational Obama’s t-shirt. I don’t know what Tan Sri Annuar Musa was on when he said that but i got a designer who knows what the nation will have to be on after March 09.

Interested to get one? :)

Wear Najib T-Shirts

Kelantan Umno liaison chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa has come out and told that press that Malaysians should not be carried away by Obama. Why did he say that?

“I see people wearing Obama T-shirts. While it is good, let us not get carried away with what happened in other nations.

“I also prefer if people could wear T-shirts bearing Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, soon to be our next Prime Minister and Umno president,” he said

I found it amusing that Tan Sri Annuar Musa had to come out and tell people something like this.His justification of saying so,

Najib had displayed traits of nationalism of Umno founder Tun Onn Jaafar and the long-term foresight of his late father, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein.

But really, who is anyone to tell the people who to support and who not too?? I think that in order for someone to wear your face on a tshirt shows that one has respect,admiration or supports them. The fact that we don’t see Najib,Pak Lah or even his own face on t-shirts speaks for itself.

For me Obama represents hope and i think that the world shares that very sentiment, so to have respect you need to earn it not ask for it!! Prove to Malaysians via your actual work that you are worthy and im sure the tshirt sales will sky rocket :)

Pak Lah To Retire In March

So the cat is out of the bag, PM Badawi has announced to not to defend his Umno president’s post and will quit in March next year when the ruling party meets for its annual general assembly. The current PM is set to be he PM who held the premiership for the shortest time frame ever clocking 5years and 5months in office, 1month shorter than Hussein Onn who had to resign due to health reasons.

Now the transition plan to his deputy is underway with Najib set to become the next Prime Minister of the country. That is provided Najib bags the UMNO top post un-contested.Interesting that the PM still wants to hold on to office for 5 months for the “transition plan” to take effect and the transition is smooth.

So is Najib what Malaysia wants?

How a Prime Minister Is Choosen

Ever wondered how a prime minister is decided? With Najib,Badawi,Anwar and now even Ku Li after the hot seat, the below article gives you a idea of the posibilities of how a prime minister can be elected based on circumtances.

EVEN as opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stumbled in his quest to unseat the government by 16 Sept 2008, the likelihood of a change in government lingers palpably. Questions now abound about how exactly Anwar can achieve forming the next government.

Some legal experts have said a vote of no-confidence in Parliament against the sitting prime minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, is the Pakatan Rakyat leader’s only recourse.

Lawyer Tommy Thomas tells The Nut Graph what methods are constitutionally available for a change of premier. The constitutional lawyer explains the legal principles involved, stressing that blocking a vote of no-confidence in Parliament against the prime minister — which has happened twice already — is unconstitutional, as are attempts to detain Anwar or any other member of parliament (MP) at this juncture.

TNG: What are the legal principles established by the three cases: Stephen Kalong Ningkan (1966); the Privy Council case (Nigerian case: Adegbenro vs Akintola in 1963); and 1994′s Datuk Amir Kahar Mustapha vs Tun Mohd Said Keruak, which involved former chief minister of Sabah Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitingan resigning from his post?

Tommy Thomas: The legal principles established by the cases are this: In the Stephen Kalong Ningkang case, the court said, the only way to test confidence is by a lower house vote. That is the legal principle. So it is confined to one method only. In the Privy Council case from Nigeria and the Pairin Kitingan case, there was no lower house vote. Yet the courts said in both cases, the governor acted correctly. That’s the principle to be drawn.

So the three reported cases we know of [involved] governors (the Sabah and Sarawak Yang diPertua’s powers are similar to a governor’s). Yet none of them is the decision of the head of state or a constitutional monarch. I personally know of no [such] cases.

So, in the Malaysian context now, there are no precedents to guide us? [Read more...]
