Loh Gwo-Burne : How now, Kelana Jaya voters?
February 27, 2008
31 comments to the ‘PKR, why,why,why?’ post with so many diverse views.
Farida’s though, resonated with my own thoughts.
I have reproduced Farida’s comment below for the benefit of all you Kelana Jaya registered voters.
______________________________
Dear All,
I am not from Kelana Jaya but what goes on there and every other constituency is the rakyat’s business.
Firstly, not every constituency can have a candidate with established credentials. Don’t forget that even established candidates began as first-timers. And first-timers can find delivering their first speeches formidable, and the first run gruelling. But if they stay the course, over the years, they will mature into credible and even incredible Yang Berkhidmats.
Secondly, we are out to defeat BN. So the focus has to be on Billie or Loh. THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE. You can use this space to argue all you want but it is a done thing - Billie or Loh. If I were a KJaya member, I’d go for Loh for the following reasons:
(a) No matter what the hidden/personal/ self-gratifying reason may be for contesting, he already has a track record, people. He came back to testify, he came back to expose what needed to be exposed. Remember, he could have chosen to stay away from it all.
I call that accountability. I call that taking responsibility. I call that stepping up to the demand of the moment.
(b) So he wins and does a disastrous job of being an MP? Take him to task, your yang berkhidmat, put him on the carpet and finally, if he does not learn, sack him at the next elections.
Billie? He garnered less votes in 2004 than in 1999. He is the role model for his failure theory - ‘dare to fail’ We can’t afford that kind of thinking in this round of elections.
Bottomline: Will you give Loh a chance? After all, you gave BN so many chances. Where did that get us?
If not the party, then the man? MCA’s Lee Hwa Beng then?
Question: Did you hear his voice when BN wanted to extend Fairus’s tenure? Did he speak on your behalf when you called for Rashid’s term to be terminated? Has he ever dernouced the ISA? People, where was he? Towing the party line.
I asked a high-ranking MCA guy once why party members had to vote the party line and not according to their conscience.
His answer was simple but frightening : ‘Our taiko is UMNO,’ he replied.
I rest my case.
February 27, 2008 at 4:04 pm
sigh. PJS is no better
February 27, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Farida,
Even though we’re on a deadly serious topic, PP does have its many LOL moments. You meant Lee Hwa Beng was “toeing the party line”, right?
However, your typo ‘towing’ the line will do just as well — c.f. the Chinaman & Chinese word ‘kow-tow’. His predecessor Loh Seng Kok, it would appear was canned, for not kowtowing to Taiko … but then there are wheels within wheels in MCA.
I’m picking up the ball on this discussion.
February 27, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I have decided - my vote is for Loh and Nik Nazmi.

February 27, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Farida, read read (as opposed to hear hear!)
We can argue here till we go blue in the face. But out there, there is only one objective. Dump the BN candidate in every possible constituency.
They have already started winning with dirty tricks. We have to reply with People Power.
Onward Barisan Rakyat.
February 27, 2008 at 4:51 pm
well said, farida and i agree.
i be voting for Dr Lo Lo in Titiwangsa. First time, I am supporting PAS. Like Haris said in his speech in SS2 ceramah “why takut”. at least, they are more ikhlas.
lawan tetap lawan for a better Malaysia.
February 27, 2008 at 4:59 pm
I have to agree with Farida..grudgingly, as I can’t help but think that Burne’s involvement has more to it than altruism..
But, at this point in time, Mahathir’s famous ‘kalau letak tunggul kayu pun mereka akan sokong’ philosophy has to be applied..
Whether this ‘tunngul’ will branch out into a new shoot and bear fruit (good, that is), we will have 5 years to judge…but surely, the dead ‘tunggul’(BN) has withered and needs to be left to decay or burned!
February 27, 2008 at 4:59 pm
i agree with Farida, when we seem to have sold our soules to the BN for 50 years why cant we just change it now ?
Where was our wakil rakyat when the medical school in Russia was closed down ? Where were they when temples were being broken ? I dont even know if my wakil rakyat has a view on running away with dead bodies. They dont speak on any of the rakyat’s plight in parliament as they are afraid they will be whipped by the BN whip Najib.
See what happened to Sothinathan when he raise the Crimea University issue… he got suspended. See what happened to Devamany when he questioned the Temple demolishment issue …….. he had to apologise cos he ” crossed the party line ”
So BN MP’s will be subservient to their BN masters. They are answerable to their BN masters and not us the public.
Do we need MP’s who dont take the Rakyat’s plight to parliament ? Do we need MP’s who have no Balls ?
February 27, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Better the new devil we hv to suffer than the stupidity to suffer under the devil we all know - in this case all the stink leads back to BN……UMNO…..
February 27, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Helen my sister, you are so right. It’s ‘toeing’ , not ‘towing’ and also ‘denounced’ and not ‘dernouced’ . LOVL
Wonder where that phrase ‘toeing the line came from’? You’re an artist. Please draw two images for PP.
1. toeing the line - (playing footsie???)
2. towing the line. (towing the BN machine)
Thanks.
February 27, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Its about voting for change all over this country. If we all do it - it can happen.
If you want to really talk about issues affecting our local areas; you must talk about Local Council Elections. These are the people who is supposed to serve us but as it is that is where BN holds us ransom to projects and development in our areas.
As Anwar Ibrahim said about the candidate; “Dia tidak boleh dibeli” and it has been proven. Men of integrity are hard to find.
February 27, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Come on you guys. You know what shit BN has handed us, especially the last 5 years since Abdullah took over. Nothing is going to change unless we change the Government or at least reduce their majority in Parliament. It doesnt matter if Loh is a new commer. Give him the vote. He is opposition and thats what we want.
Mr Lee Hwa Beng is no angel and is part of the corrupt and inefficient government that we have had. Semuanya ok where he is concerned. Vote him out. Bring in the PKR and DAP or PAS candidate.
February 27, 2008 at 5:48 pm
I am a Kelana Jaya resident and will vote for Loh and Nik Nazmi. Nuff said.
February 27, 2008 at 5:56 pm
There is a first time always, and for Loh this is his first time. He is a clean slate so far, accountable because he came back to testify. Let us take that as his first plus point. We will remember to take him to task if he does not perform and will shake his hand if he does. After all we are voting for a change, for a breath of first air, both of which BN cannot deliver. We will promise to keep our MPs on their toes, because we choose them to serve us, not the other way round. No BN politician, no matter how good his/her intentions are, can speak up for us, because if he or she does, soon they will be in cold storage.
February 27, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Lee Hwa Beng labeled by his own proven abusive records and Party - MCA, he should not be in discussion any more! OUT, OUT, OUT!
As mentioned in other post in this blog, invite them to present themselves and let PP be fair then do the recommendation. Please set a deadline to avoid endless talk and more priority on others being ignored!
PP has to set a model for fair way of communication and procedures to everyone. Speak sense and logic and not only TARGET!!
PP and many of us, if not fed-up after the GE, will still have a long way to go before we can see democratic Malaysia in the go!
P.S. Farida, LHB had never been a MP but State Assemblyman only. Why he was taken instead of Loh Seng Kok, I guess most probably because of his “loyalty” along MCA internal line and surely not his performance when compare with LOH!
February 27, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Farida,
I am in total agreement with you.Even if they put a dog Vs B.N we should just vote for the dog.B.N has enough chances. Why cant we give Loh just one chance to prove himself. Is that too much to ask?
February 27, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Yes, Farida is so right.
Those who decide to vote for bn, please remember one thing: when things get worse, please don’t complain, you have lost the right to complain. You deserve it, you reap what you sow.
February 27, 2008 at 6:48 pm
“Bottomline: Will you give Loh a chance?”
No.
February 27, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Dear Voters in Kelana Jaya,
I have been tempted to write comments in many blogs but have refrained from doing so due to a promise made to someone very dear to me. However, I need to do so in this matter as it involves the future of our beloved country. I am not affiliated to any party but am a proud Malaysian.
I will never vote for Lee Hwa Beng because I know too much about him first hand and I’m sorry for not able to share with you. I know it’s hard for you to believe, but please trust me on this, he’s no angel. It’s been my solemn wish that he’s not picked to contest in this GE but he was. My biggest disappointment. In such a situation, you have no choice but to pick the best between Loh and Independant Billie.
What is our objective? To deny BN 2/3 majority. If I were you, I’ll go for Loh. If he’s not doing a good job, sack him in the next GE. You been placing your faith in BN for so long, evaluate the situation and see for yourself what good our beloved country turn out to be?
We are lagging behind in so many areas and yet our leaders are blowing their own trumpets day in day out, completely oblivious to the sufferings of the people and in denial mode all the time.
May Allah/ GOD have mercy on us. To our fellow Malaysians, pls exercise your duty and cast your precious vote wisely.
February 27, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Frankly, I’d go with Loh for the following reasons.
He was brave enough to put himself and his family at risk when he exposed the Lingam Video.
I would say that it does make him a Patriot, for I see that as a duty to the country.
Granted that he is young, but what the heck, he has the gumption and the guts to stick it out and challenge incumbent stalwart Lee Hwa Beng.
I’d say if he has guts to come out with a National level expose, He will have the gumption to speak up the people’s voice at Parliment.
I give him my vote - for I am seeking for change!!
February 27, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Bro’ Haris,
There shouldn’t be any doubt. To put it simply : Would we prefer a car that refuses to run, or a model that has shown potential in outperforming other established models in the market?
Lee Hwa Beng or any BN MPs, would be obligated to unanimously vote against us citizens in Parliament, just like what they most recently did for the EC chairman. And these self-serving and dishonourable lawmakers would continue voting the nation into eventual destruction and rebellion. If they think they are any good, they should leave BN and fight for the people instead.
In comparison, Loh Gwo-Burne has shown us what he’s made of by coming back from Shanghai to help incriminate some most powerful and unscrupulous personalities of the land. Therefore, fighting and speaking up for the people as an MP could be just a cup of tea for the gutsy young man. My vote will be there for him come 8th March.
While we’re at it, practically none of us heard of Fong Po Kuan 8 years ago. She was only 26 then. Folks, it’s our duty to defend our country against big lies, plunders and injustices. No patriot would vote against his citizens and future generations.
February 27, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Well said my dear. Well said, were it nor for Gwo-Burne-Loh, Fariruz would be here overlording it over us. Yes, he could afford to stay out and enjoy, but as a young man, a China for that, he came out and risked alot. MCA supports the dirt of UMNO. If you give them any chance, it is a waste. Don’t you remember what Badawi, KJ and Nor yackob said, they said they want to start a new 50 years of BN. So this election will determine. Those who are saying Anwar will take over the seat are sick. Le m tell you, Anwar will settle for no seat except Permatang Pauh. Even if PKR wins 50 seats and does a miracle, he will go back to Penang. Mark my words. We have given BN (UMNO) 50 years, why is it so painful to give Gwo-Burne who saved from Fairuz and has awaken the nation? Remember, Burne said he has recorded it when it dawned on him that Malaysia was going down the drain. That’s 6 years ago. He was responsible by then, you mean he can’t be now? He has his own business which wasn’t gotten through UMNO corruption unlike the MCA charlatans and UMNO stooges who are selling their people for few kickbacks. He is tested, he is moral, he is independent, he is capable. Give him a chance. Forget BN and the independent. Try Gwo-Burne. I’m a Malay and was a BN supporter in the last election, the likes of Gwo-Burne have woken me up. I had to ask myself critical questions as to where Malaysia was going. I’m for him. Pliz stop UMNO propaganda and MCS the stooge of UMNO jokes and vote Burne. Try him. It is only 4 years. You have seen BN for 50 years. Just do it once. For Muslims, (Malays here), vote Burne. Remember the Quran says you may hate someone and he may be the best, you may love someone (something) and he may be the worst. We have tried BN for 50 years. The next 50 tears under KJ and Mat Rempit have started. The choice is yours but remember that regret comes later.
February 27, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Well, to win?? In your dream…..Already lost 7.Why??? wrong candidates???wrong Judgement???Not organised???

rakyat,
Why so negative?
February 27, 2008 at 10:11 pm
My, my all that discussion over something so very simple-lah. Just urge all who visit this blog - on the day of polling, see BN symbol in a straight fight, just put X to the OTHER symbol.
My fliend has a vely, vely good approach. He say, ‘I see BN, I put cross for other party. No need to think so much.’ Thank God for the simple things in life.

There are many more such people in the electoral roll of Miri, Sarawak alone. Can you believe that in Miri alone there are so many people above the age of 100 still alive, the oldest being 127 years old?! Imagine how many more such cases exist in the whole Malaysia? One reason that can be used to dismiss these cases is that when the person(s) died, the National Registration Department did not pass it along to the SPR. Even so, no one will believe that there will be an army of 100 year old pengundi hantus coming out to vote. A valid point. However if that is the case, wouldn’t it also be possible that much younger deceased people, say those born between 1940 to 1970, whose deaths are not passed to the SPR and whose names are still in the electoral roll? Wouldn’t this be the perfect army of pengundi hantus, because the people they send is closer to the age of the deceased? We must demand a clean electoral roll where all deceased are removed.
February 27, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Well said everyone! I went to PKR ceramah in SS5D the other night featuring Nik Nazmi and Gwo-Burne. Nik Nazmi? I like him, and already printed out a poster to be pasted on my notice board.
Guo-Burne. This guy has a really big problem with his Bahasa Malaysia. I was looking forward to his speech, but was really disappointed with the lack of charisma. I thought that maybe he was not comfortable with the language. My guess was right.
When i had the chance to speak to him in person, I asked him, what are your manifestos? And he replied that he wants to do something about the judiciary and also on the inflation.
That cleared some of my worries. Yes, he lack charisma, but he certainly has a voice. That is the voice that we want to be representing us in the Parliament in the later days.
At the very least, he had the bravery to expose the Lingam Video. We just don’t want someone with a big charismatic voice that is scared to tell the truth. what we need is a brave voice, no matter how less charismatic one is. =)
February 27, 2008 at 10:32 pm
I will also give Burne a chance and vote him. By the way, just caught the video of Haris’s speech at DAP ceramah last evening on Mkini. Wow..Haris for PM? He is captivating, eloquent and most of all, he can move the people. He would give real credence the the position of PM, with his fiery speeches..Go Haris! Go! Haris bro..you listening..?
Is,
(Blushing) Thank you for the vote of confidence. Let the MPs serve us in Parliament. I will try to serve the rakyat from the outside keeping an eye on those in parliament to make sure they behave and do the tasks entrusted to them.
February 28, 2008 at 12:01 am
.
when it comes to election issues in this constituency
BR should take advantage and exploit his infamy expose “reputation” as one of the issues in this constituency.
he has the profile that embodies the “people declaration” Play it up as high as possible
and
right minded citizens and voters should know what to do.
hopefully.

sharing
loh was dismantled coz he didnt toe the line. he voiced out his principles and the payday is simply being sent to pasture by UMNO.
you think this beng fella gonna cross the line on principles. let me remind you what he said..”we need umno without which we chinese would not have a chance to be in the legislature coz we are the minority”
so much for guts and principles. vote for him at your own peril.

[...] Loh Gwo-Burne : How now, Kelana Jaya voters? [...]
February 28, 2008 at 1:34 am
well said farida!
February 28, 2008 at 1:57 am
Attended the ceramah at SS18 Subang Jaya that ended a few hours ago. A very large crowd which nearly filled the playground. Next ceramah on Saturday night at USJ12.
Hannah Yeoh (DUN, Subang Jaya) spoke and this charming and pretty young lady (29) clearly won the hearts and minds of the SJ folks who came to the event. Not as fiery as Fong Po Kuan but very intelligent and witty. Every time she asked who amongst the crowd had benefitted from this or that hare-brained project in and around Subang Jaya, the crowd chanted “Lee Hwa Beng” in unison. It was great fun and she had the crowd baying for more. She clearly did not disappoint.
Loh Gwo Burne preceded her and like hilman said earlier, he has no charisma. To dare stand before such a large crowd and then deliver such an uninspiring and dull speech says a lot about his guts though.
February 28, 2008 at 2:09 am
yh,
Thanks your info. I just want to say, even Loh SK is better than LHB!!
For LOH, I surely will not recommend anyone to vote him!
As he dared to asked Parliament in 2006 to gazette the land of Subang Ria Park (a Town Park) with a “wrongly issued” private title on a reserved area for water Retention Pond.
On this topic, he was in scandal with LHB so that the “Private Title” will at least worth something to the title “owner”!!
From another angle, one can realize how “big a contribution” LHB had done to MCA and the links so he was picked to be satisfied with his ambition!!
Terrie,
Thanks for voicing out on LHB. You talk from what you know!
I talk from what I had experienced!!
House and Communities are homes for hundred and thousand families
From there with Peace of Mind, generations will bring development of society and country!
With abuse of Rights and Facilities, nervous of house-buyers be tightened with loss of sweats, tears or even blood!
How can these be done by a man if with heart and soul and even being a Christian?
The social effects of the manipulation are tremendous!!
February 28, 2008 at 5:26 am
Dear All,
For those who support me, I think you. I will work my hardest to not disappoint the faith placed upon me. I am only 4 days old in politics, I know I can do better.
As for Birdseye, I am sorry you find me dull,uninspiring and uncharismatic. Maybe the laughter I heard during my speech was purely of my imagination. But thank you for your comments, and will try to improve. Constructive criticism from all will always be welcome. Thank you.
GB
GB,
If you are who you would have us believe you are, stop wasting time in this crummy blog, get out there and do some real campaigning.
Good luck
February 28, 2008 at 6:51 am
I will vote for ANY Barisan Rakyat or even Independent candidate (if there is no BR person) for one simple reason… the BN candidate should NOT get the vote.
People are going on and on about candidate quality. What use is a candidate’s quality if he can’t vote on your behalf in parliament? Have ANY of the BN MPs ever voted for you? Even those rare few who tried to speak on your behalf got whacked? Somemore you want to vote BN?
You think your MP’s job is to fix your broken drains or help you solve problems with the local council? Rubbish. His MOST IMPORTANT job is to VOTE on your behalf in parliament. Even if he can’t speak ANY language properly, if he can put up his hand and vote for you, he should be good enough.
NO BN MP IS GOOD ENOUGH!
ANY NON-BN MP, EVEN A DONKEY, IS GOOD ENOUGH!!
Enough said. Go vote Barisan Rakyat.
February 28, 2008 at 8:52 am
I think we had a similar swallowing of hook-line-and-sinker in 2004. As for the current election, one of the biggest advantage the people has is the sharing of info and ideas at a broader range. Here PKR has explanation to do as to why they put Mr Loh as candidate, AFTER the election. They owe this to the people of KJ. Beyond that, I believe that there are many alert citizens who can monitor Mr Loh in the event he got elected. As for the MCA guy, the arguments against him are very convincing, he represent BN/MCA/own pocket, not the people of KJ.
February 28, 2008 at 9:05 am
Some of you here seem to think Loh, or for that matter any other Barisan Rakyat candidate, has to prove his credentials to warrant your vote and support. Some even suggest that because Loh fails on that score, you will not support him. In otherwards your support and/or vote goes to the BN candidate whether you choose to vote or not.
Can you tell me then, how come it seems alright to you that the BN candidate has basically sold his conscience in order to be a BN candidate? He supports the ISA. He supports body snatching. He supports the ******* up of the judiciary. He suppports the corruption and the squandering of taxpayer’s money. He supports the Port Klang Free Trade Zone squandering of a few billion ringgit. He supports his fellow MPs who think it funny that their mothers, sisters, daughters and grand-mothers bocor on a monthly basis over which I suppose they are supposed to be embarrassed about. He supports the monkey like behaviour of his colleagues in parliament. He supports Zakaria Deros’ palace. He supports the close one eye MP? Until now, he does not think that something is wrong with Eusoff Chin’s New Zealand Holiday. You think he dares stand up there and say that Eusoff Chin betrayed the trust placed on him?
Despite all that it seems like it is more important that Loh has to first prove his credentials before he should deserve your votes.
I should say, that after having said all the above of the BN candidate and what he represents, put up a real donkey and that animal will get my vote everytime!
February 28, 2008 at 9:09 am
Oh, BTW, Lee Wah Beng certainly knows me or at the very least, knows of me!
February 28, 2008 at 10:18 am
It is great to see people coming together for one cause. For the greater good of Malaysia before it goes down the drain. I personally feel Gwo-Burne is not suitable but heck, for if I were to vote in Kelana Jaya, he gets my vote for having the guts (balls) while LHB… well, he is BN what do you expect?
Go Gwo-Burne! Barisan Rakyat is with you.
February 28, 2008 at 11:49 am
here is loh gwo burne’s blog
http://www.lohgwoburne.blogspot.com
February 28, 2008 at 2:36 pm
GB,
If you are LOH Gwo-Burne, please give us your visions and how you think you can work onto those!
Personally, I hope from here you can communicate with People and Voters to prepare for your election as well as going into Parliament to serve People if you are elected! (Then you have to get your own blog!)
Start Communicating with People. Express yourself but avoid going to deep and unnecessary debate as it is always the trick to get you caught as well as wasting your time. Anyway, this is a training course you have to go through for better or worse!!
Identify who can guide you or just wasting your time!!
Good Luck and welcome to a Fair Competition here!
We will try to stop Red Herrings from swimming around here as much as possible!
Can a separate post, say “Kelana Jaya FORUM” be opened for GB and Billi if the latter want to join? And, similarly for other constituency when needed?
February 29, 2008 at 1:09 am
Loh Gwo Burne has gone through so much ever since he got back from Shang Hai…
you can’t imagine the amount of times his car and family’s cars have been followed by black tinted cars here and there…. (GB please be careful)
have faith in GB, and he will deliver..
I have known GB for 6 years now, and as his neighbour and friend, i must say he is one of the most caring, protective, intelligent and humble men i know…
he may not speak bahasa malaysia well and appear dull looking to some, but he definitely has a good heart and knows what he is talking about…
i remember how from the first time i met him, whenever we talk about politics etc he would tell me how corrupted the government is etc, and i used to be a pro BN so we’d debate for hours really… and i would go home pissed =) thinking, why on earth is GB so stubborn!
and of course now things have changed… i am supporting the opposition 100%
I know very few kind and genuine people around, and GB is definitely one of them…
vote for GB, give this humble man a chance
good luck my dear GB
God bless

I am repeating a comment I made elsewhere. I voted at Kelana Jaya for Loh and Nik.
At my polling station this morning, the PKR people were very vocal and motivated. The crowd responded when they asked the drivers to sound the horn and they did! And the crowd cheered! But I overheard the BN people saying (paraphased from Bahasa), “No point shouting like that one, let them see who wins tonight lah!”
I believe until the votes were counted, almost everyone at BN still believed in BN’s invincibility!
Invincibility my foot!
The rakyat has the FINAL say! And they have SPOKEN!
