What scandal, Fairus?

PKR is playing hard to get with their former DCM 1? Damn, this people must have really love by-election(s)! Then again, I bet Guan Eng is not feeling good about this. After all Fairus has said that it is either his name being cleared (read: reinstate to his former glory?) or get ready for an expose of a scandal involving the state government & the Pakatan Rakyat.

KUALA LUMPUR: Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin, who quit as Penang Deputy Chief Minister 1 and as Penanti assemblyman, has given PKR a two-week deadline to clear his name, saying he would otherwise expose a state government and party scandal.

In an exclusive interview with Chinese daily Nanyang Siang Pau, he said he had inside information related to the internal operation of the Pakatan Rakyat opposition alliance.

What shall it be, Fairus? Care to elaborate on the above? This is, after all, the C.A.T government that we are talking about. Must not only be clean but it must also seen to be clean maaa...

Update 4.52pm

Okay, okay.. we get it. He resigned, period. It's water under the bridge, I get it. Let us hold hands & sing Kumbaya! Read Anwar Ibrahim's latest here and Din Merican's here. Fine, I understand, you guys really want that by-election (and err..our former DCM 1 really, really, really wants to further his studies), but what about that "state government and party scandal" talk from him? Just another BN's media manipulation (conspiracy/anti-PKR campaign)? Resignation is not retractable they say, what about that "scandal-icious-expos`e" warning he was harping on last week, retractable ke?

Someone from that old school said the followings:

...Brotherhood between the Collegian remains a strong, unifying factor. No doubt, disagreements occur but that is another fact of life. To live and learn. To disagree or to agree. It is all a part of the learning process. And as time comes and goes, it is all an evolution, gradually shaping the future of our alma mater....WE CAME HOPING TO GET OUT, BUT WENT CRYING TO STAY!

..FIAT SAPIENTIA VIRTUS. Let manliness come through wisdom. The philosophy of the college bespeaks: "The fusion of intelligence and valuable wisdom is the foundation of mankind's progress that is excellent and divine, pledging loyalty to Allah and therefrom preserving our race and nation"

To my brothers in arms; XCs, I salute you!

Penang: Whither thou C.A.T. goest, Mr. CM?

Lim Guan Eng came in as the CM for Penang with a bang, riding high on his *C.A.T. government.

That was last year... But now baru tak sampai 13 bulan, apa pulak ni?

KUALA LUMPUR: Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin, who quit as Penang Deputy Chief Minister 1 and as Penanti assemblyman, has given PKR a two-week deadline to clear his name, saying he would otherwise expose a state government and party scandal.

In an exclusive interview with Chinese daily Nanyang Siang Pau, he said he had inside information related to the internal operation of the Pakatan Rakyat opposition alliance.

“That is the reason why the party still does not take any action against me,” he said, adding that it was not convenient for him to elaborate at present and urged the press to be patient.

“I am innocent. They know what I can do. So do not push me (from taking such step)!” he said, claiming that he had been framed by party insiders. -Fairus (The Star Online)

Kemelut Terengganu '09: Kalut tak tentu pasal...

Kita hanya mampu melihat, bagaimana kalut dan bercelarunya arah dan tujuan kerajaan negeri Terengganu itu sendiri. Bila ketuanya sentiasa dihimpit perasaan resah dan gusar dengan bayang-bayangnya sendiri. Tidak ada masalah, tidak ada ribut, tidak ada taufan, kenapa sms berbaur ugutan juga yang jadi taruhan? Kenapa semuanya kalut tak tentu pasal....

Kalut sebab boikot? TPM kata bukan boikot. Kalut sebab takutkan kehilangan kuasa? Rosol Wahid menafikan bahawa ada niat untuk menjatuhkan sesiapa, hanya SMS puncanya.

Masalah ini sebenarnya ciptaan sendiri, natijah dari percaturan kuasa dan halatuju pentadbiran yang haru-biru dan begitu bercelaru hanya dalam dalam masa 13 bulan pemerintahan.

Kalau nakhoda sudah tidak tahu-menahu perihal bahtera sendiri, jangankan hendak menakhoda zaman, menakhodakan keluar dari pelabuhan pun belum tentu berjaya dilakukan.

Dikemaskini 6.50pm

PM kata tiada ribut, tiada taufan.

On allegations that there was a bid to force Ahmad out of office, he said that too had been denied.

Najib also said there was no tension in Terengganu despite latest political developments, adding the issue was not something which could not be managed.

Aiyo this fella just doesn't know when to close his mouth. You are no longer relevant la dey! Not for the Indian community nor Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 11 — Embattled MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, whose wish to return to the Cabinet was rejected by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, is playing his final gambit by threatening to withdraw the sole MIC minister.

Read Upset at not being made minister, Samy Vellu threatens BN

Who are you to withdraw the minister in the first place? You think he'll listen to you huh?

updated

By the way, this reminded me of one SV's tons of jokes, the one that goes like this;

Pegawai: Ini service kita panggil Pos Laju Dato menteri.

SV: Apa pasal pos laju?

Pegawai: Sebab kita pos in hari petang sudah sampai, tuan.

SV: Tarak bagus, saya mau lagi hebat. Saya mau bikin itu SUPER Pos Laju.

Pegawai: Macam mana tu Dato' Menteri?

SV: Ini SUPER Pos laju, hari ini pos, semalam juga sudah sampai!

Menang kalah itu adat, tetapi....

...kalau kalah selalu itu..? Kalau kalah selalu itu ALAMAT!

Ada hikmah kekalahan? "Status Quo" bukan hikmah beb!

Namun begitu bagi mengubati hati yang luka, fikir-fikirkan lah di bawah ini:

• Bukit Selambau - MIC perlu sedar nama Samy Vellu sudah tidak lagi sinonim dengan aspirasi & restu rakyat. Mempunyai imej yang berpaksikan Samy Vellu tidak membantu malah merosakkan.
• Bukit Gantang - UMNO perlu sedar kekurangan bakat dan karisma calon-calon yang diketengahkan (Masalah sama semenjak PRU 12, bukan hanya di PRK kali ini). Calon yang berpeluk tubuh bila berdepan dengan pengundi-pengundi tidak memberikan isyarat yang menggalakkan dalam menagih sokongan. Lain-lain hal itu tidak perlulah disebut, nasi sudah jadi bubur.
  
• Batang Ai - PKR perlu lebih banyakkan lagi usaha memikat orang Sabah & Sarawak. Nama pemimpin utama sahaja tidak akan menjamin undi.

Yang ini pun ALAMAT jugalah, kalau menang pun janganlah ter"over"... Kerja tak habis lagi brother...

Pakatan Rakyat’s massive wins in Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau are a clear referendum on the Umno-led Barisan Nasional government’s divisive politics and proof that the opposition has delivered its campaign promises.

Ok, gotta run folks. Nak kena balik SP ni...

Euphoria Menyambut Che Det di SP

Kira-kira jam 5 petang tadi bertempat di IKM Sg Petani, bagaikan kehadiran seorang rock star, Che Det telah disambut kedatangannya untuk destinasi terakhir ceramah beliau bagi PRK kali ini. Berasak-asakan, bertolak-tolakkan manusia hanya untuk melihat wajah ahli UMNO terbaru ini. Pembesar-pembesar BN & UMNO pun ramai sekali, semua mahu dilihat bersama-sama dengan Che Det kali ini.




Sampai ada kawan yang mengusik, mengatakan "hantu-hantu raya tanpa tuan" pun turut keluar hanya untuk dilihat bersama-sama meraikan kedatangan Che Det. Dia berkata sambil menunjuk ke arah Johari Baharum & Mahadzir Khalid, tidak silap saya lah sebab teramat ramai manusia yang mengelilingi Che Det kali ini.




Tarian Naga Cina , Gendang-genderang India menggamatkan lagi suasana. Yang menariknya kali ini, Che Det tidak menjadikan Anwar Ibrahim sasarannya malah memfokuskan lebih kepada mengembalikan keyakinan umum terhadap kepimpinan terbaru BN.

Malam ini Anwar Ibrahim di Taman Peruda, SP & di Sungai Lalang. Ada kawan kata lagi ramai di sana daripada yang menyambut Che Det tadi. Betul kah? Mungkin ramai kerana hendak mendengar ceritera penglipurlara tersohor itu sahaja, apa pun kita tunggu 9.30 & 10 malam ini.

Dari Bukit Ke Bukit

3 hari saya berada di kedua-dua "zon peperangan" di atas. Dari Kampung Sebelas, Bukit Selambau hinggalah ke Kampung Padang Serai Dalam di Trong Perak. Masuk kampung keluar kampung.

Kedua gagasan politik yang bertempur jelas menggunakan segala peluru yang ada dalam usaha mengekalkan dan merampas semula kerusi yang dipertandingkan.

Kalau di Bukit Selambau, anda disambut dengan banner PR yang berbunyi, "Awas! Perasuah sudah sampai!" manakala di Bukit Gantang pula ianya pula berbunyi "Tolak Politik Durjana!". Manakala kain-kain rentang BN pula lebih tertib dengan kata-kata "Mohon Restu Rakyat" dan sebagainya. Kain-kain rentang tersebut jelas memberikan prelude mengenai isu-isu yang dibangkitkan siang dan malam dalam ceramah-ceramah di kedua-dua kawasan tersebut.


Perang poster & bendera di Bukit Gantang

Walaupun PR dengan taktik asakan dan menyerangnya, mempertikaikan setiap usaha yang dijalankan oleh lawannya, para penceramah BN kali ini tidak begitu terikut-ikut dengan rentak PR dan sebaliknya memfokuskan lebih kepada kesedaran mereka sendiri sejak diaibkan dalam PRU yang lalu dan lebih menumpukan kepada usaha memberikan jaminan dan janji untuk memberikan yang terbaik kepada rakyat.

Walau apa pun yang dibangkitkan, permasalahan dalaman parti-parti komponen Pakatan Rakyat terutamanya PKR dan nafas baru yang dimiliki oleh BN apabila negara bertukar nakhoda pasti akan memainkan peranan di dalam pengundian yang akan dijalankan kurang dari 72 jam dari sekarang di Bukit Selambau.

Kepada yang memandang remeh isu pertikaian terhadap keputusan raja dan masih lagi bangga dengan slogan "kekalkan kemenangan rakyat"nya di Bukit Gantang, strategi baru perlu dilakukan seandainya mahu kekalkan kemenangan lalu. Ingatlah bahwa anda berada di Bukit Gantang dan bukannya di Bukit Bangsar.

Tahniah DS Mohd Najib & Terimakasih Tun Abdullah Badawi!

Tahniah saya ucapkan kepada Perdana Menteri kita yang baru!

Pastikan yang dikejar itu dapat dan yang dikendong tidak keciciran. Semoga berjaya hendaknya meneruskan perjalanan menakhoda zaman...

Tidak dilupakan izinkan juga saya mengucapkan terimakasih yang tidak terhingga kepada Tun Abdullah kerana jasa dan bakti yang dicurahkan sepanjang 5 tahun memimpin negara.
