Another update with one more new Chinese sms :
This is from dear sanjiun :
人民唾弃国阵种族政策,反对主流媒体谎言,拒绝政治污染新闻自由!!!请于17/1投民联一票,并且杯葛主流媒体!!!人民力量万岁!请转发SMS给瓜登朋友。
which translates as :
Rakyat hates BN race-based politics, against lying media, oppose politic contamination of main stream media. PLease vote for Pakatan Rakyat and Boikot main stream media. Makkal Sakti. Please forward to your friends in KT.

Get to work, people. We have a constituency to win and a country to take back.
We can.
_______________________________________
Tomorrow, about 20 Barisan Rakyat campaigners, bloggers and non-bloggers, will make their way up to Kuala Terengganu to set up camp and an operations centre before the real work of working the ground to do our part in trying to wrest Kuala Terengganu from BN and deliver the same to Pakatan Rakyat.
That number is expected to grow to about 40 as polling day draws near.
Those who cannot make the journey, but would like to be a part of this historical effort by the rakyat, here’s how.
We start our Barisan Rakyat sms campaign today.
First we want to alert the people of Kuala Terengganu that we, the rakyat have rejected the race-based politics of BN. We want them to know that we, a nation of a single people, anak Bangsa Malaysia, have rejected BN and its race-based divide and rule politics and have embraced the ‘ketuanan rakyat’ slogan of Pakatan Rakyat.
Here is the first sms.
Rakyat menolak politik kaum UMNO / BN. Politik kaum UMNO / BN hancurkan perpaduan rakyat. Jangan diperdayakan dengan politik kaum UMNO / BN. Politik Pakatan Rakyat menyatukan rakyat. Rakyat sehati sejiwa menyelamatkan negara yang dicintai. Undilah PAS / Pakatan Rakyat pada 17/1/2009. Hidup rakyat. Sebar kpd kwn2 di K.T.
Next, we are going to wage war with the lying mainstream media who will be telling all sorts of lies in the next two weeks to try and portray Pakatan as falling apart and who will try to scare the non-Muslim voters in KT with talk of PAS and its hudud / Islamic state aspiration. Whilst those of us who will be in KT will try to do what we can to neutralise this spin-doctoring by the MSM, again our outreach will not be able to match a full-blown sms campaign to alert the people of KT to the lies that will be spread through the MSM.
Here is the ‘boycott the MSM’ sms.
Media massa arus p’dana akan m’perdayakan rkyt & m’cari helah utk gagalkan PAS di KT dgn berita palsu – utk menanam rasa syak wasangka terhadap PAS & Pakatan. Jom boikot! Jgn beli s/kabar. Jgn p’caya berita radio/TV. Sebarkan kpd kwn2 di KT.
Could anyone please translate these 2 sms’s into Chinese / Tamil and send it in to me as a comment so that I can then put it up here, please?
Send these sms’s out to everyone you know in Terengganu. Even if you do not know anyone in Terengganu, send them out to those whom you know with a request that they forward it to those whom they know. That way, there’s every likelihood that it will ultimately get to the good folk of Kuala Terengganu in due course. And keep sending the sms’s out again and again in the run-up to polling day on 17th January.
More to come. folks.

Hi Haris,its me, anonymous, again.
If MSM is the spin doctor for BN, aren’t you the de facto spin doctor for PR?
Obviously Sivanesan is going to tell you the story on Kula was rubbish. How can you base your opinions on one POLITICIAN?
Don’t you think Baradan, a senior and respected journalist, has done sufficient research before writing the story? Everyone in Kinta Valley knows Kula is dying for the mayor job since March 8. Why are you spinning it the other way?
If the Indians in PKR are not disgruntled, why did ‘Datuk Ravi’ have to mediate the meeting? Why did ‘Datuk Ravi’ have to hold a high-profile press conference?
PKR, Pakatan or whatever you want to call it are no angels. I didn’t see anything on your blog on the fact ‘multiracial’ PKR does not have a single state chief that is non-Malay. Obviously the non-Malays are being sidelined.
You and your cohorts should flush all that beer from your systems and think clearly.
anonymous,
You said : PKR, Pakatan or whatever you want to call it are no angels. I didn’t see anything on your blog on the fact ‘multiracial’ PKR does not have a single state chief that is non-Malay. Obviously the non-Malays are being sidelined.
Response : I only see anak-anak Bangsa Malaysia appointed. My only concern is whether they are qualified for the task.
That’s the difference between you and I.

PR is not all out to eliminate BN in total. PR wants BN as alternative to PR ultimate Federal Government. Let all of us work in unity to take control of democracy, transparency, ethic and conflict of interest policy, corruption eradication. PR have to walk the talk by exposing and bring to book the high profile cases from the past to the present. The revelation will gaurantee 50 years rule.

2. Mingguan Malaysia: “Pembangkang tidak berasaskan persefahaman”.
3. New Straits Times: “Opposition in a shambles, says Najib”. Also see this.
4. Berita Minggu: “Pakatan Rakyat tiada persefahaman”.

The difference between the partisan views in the mainstream media and on this blog is that the MSM does not need to grapple with official discouragement or suppression. Nor does this blog achieve the same financial muscle the MSM can afford by being a proprietary publication.
It’s an issue of bargaining power.
Secondly, I didn’t know one man of an ethnic background holding a press conference is enough to signify that that man’s ethnic group is entirely disgruntled.
Logical reasoning should colour your arguments whenever possible, sir.

Hi brother and anak Malaysia Haris. I am with you. I will be flying there, albeit at a later date, to do what is necessary to help deliver the seat to all anak2 Malaysia. The arrogance of BN must be dented, bit by bit, seat by seat, until Malaysians get back their country from the hijackers.
I hope the good example set by you and the others will be emulated and more will move up north in the next 12 days to KO UMNO.

The MSM is going full steam ahead spinning webs in their papers as the nomination gets nearer and the polls on 17-01-09. Reporting of cracks in the PR are given high prrominence by all their lackey papers. What is a matter of dissagreeing in discussions are magnified as disunity. KT folks, do not be fooled by these goons’ reporting. Give a thumping victory for PR as sign of declining support for the BN goons.
Kerajaan Rakyat
January 4, 2009
UMNO yang semakin gabra terhadap kekalahan yang bakal diterimanya dalam pilihanraya kecil Kuala terengganu telah mengumumkan untuk merasuah penduduk Kuala Terenggunu sejumlah RM5.8 juta sekiranya mereka berjaya dalam pilihanraya kecil tersebut.
Pada kebiasaannya 20 hingga 30 peratus daripada nilai rasuah tersebut akan diperuntukan kepada ketua-ketua cawangan UMNO dalam Bahagian Kuala Terengganu.
Sekiranya pengundi di Kuala Teregganu memilih pelesit belaan iblis yang bertopengkan manusia dengan ajaran agama songsang bergelar hadhari dan berlambangkan umno/BN, maka ini bermakna pengundi di Kuala Terengganu telah menggalakkan antara beberapa AJARAN SYAITAN terutamanya rasuah.

Cina Import d'KT
January 4, 2009
Wish you guys well.
I don’t think race is really an issue here in KT. Having worked here for the last few months, my observation is that the most Malays here, unlike many of those in west coast and south, are not envious/jealous of Chinese wealth or have the feeling of being marginalised by wealth grabbing Chinese.
Maybe this is because almost all those driving flashy cars and living in huge flashy bungalows are Malays themselves (there are many of them and even in kampungs!). Also maybe because the Chinese population here is too small to threaten their livelihood.
Perhaps you start you campaign with some other issues.

Hi Haris,
Just sent the SMS out to most of the names in my phonebook. By the way, if you don’t mind me asking, where in KT have you guys set up the operations center. I am planning to be there on the 16th and stay till 18th. I could perhaps drop in to say hi and be of assistance if possible. You can send me a mail or SMS.
God willing.. I will be there.

1. I agree, Pakatan is no angel. BUT it is far, far, far better than Barisan. And it is our best hope at the moment – hence, for the sake of our country, we must do what we can to help Pakatan succeed.
2. Baradan a senior and respected journalist? Sorry, I beg to differ. To me, his commentaries represent the dregs of journalism.

Dear Haris,
A friend of mine, a KT son, just back from his home town after holidays, says the non-bumis trust not PAS cos’ of the party’s poor and ‘insensitive’ administration then.
Looks like a goner unless PAS can really convince these group of decision makers that they represent all Malaysians and not ‘berat sebelah’. He meant it.
It’s a job cut out for you guys but go sound the PAS leaders especially ex-MB Hadi why he and his men must accept that ‘all men are equal’.
p/s Wish I could join in ( I miss the drill) but too far away. All the best and take care.

Good to see you guys going to KT to campaign for PR. I am also supposed to be there but after the experience in Subang Jaya in March and subsequently in Permatang Pauh, I hope that there will be a tad more organisation for those of us going to help. Otherwise we may all end up just standing around again.
The 10% Chinese votes in KT is supposed be pivotal. Judging by what is coming out of the MSM, BN’s effort towards the Chinese voters will probably be to play up PAS’s proposal on Hudud Law. Maybe it will be useful to have someone draft an appropriate response from PR pertaining to this issue and have it translated into Chinese for distribution among the Chinese voters in KT together with the English and Bahasa versions. This will beat going to KT and just “playing it by ear”.

This is a very important by election for PKR. More important than Permatang Pauh. Umno will play the race card again.
Let’s stand together as Bangsa Malaysia regardless of race.
Let’s not be divided now, malay,chinese,indian and others. We are just one BANGSA MALAYSIA.
50 years of Umno’s poisoining our mind is enough.Let’s go for change.Let’s give our support to PKR.Let’s be united once again as a Malaysian race.
I will not be able to go personally but will contribute to the Pas’s tabung.That’s the best I can do. Oh ya, sending the SMS too!!!

Mr Haris: Your eyes see what you want to see. You see Bangsa Malaysia PKR state chiefs, I see PKR marginalisation of anyone with a foreskin. It is in their pants, but you choose only that which you want to see.
Mr CPK: You better qualify that statement. Are you a journalist? Do you work in the media industry?
To all:
When Haris talks cock, we will point it out, because he is dangerously persuasive among middle-class non-Malay netizens.
The suggestible non-Malay, middle-class, one-house, two-cars, two-and-a-half-kids netizens love people like Haris and RPK because they speak out on stereotypical non-Malay fears of the Malays.
In doing so, Haris and RPK alienates the Malays and you can see from past PJ vigils, these two characters cannot draw a Malay crowd.
How then, does Haris ‘Mr half-Malay Sufi’ really see himself as Bangsa Malaysia?

Dear Harris,
Your delegation to KT deserves our full support. Your undivided stand that BN should not win in KT is the majority view by all my friends in KL and PJ.
May your aim be achieved and the BN be send back to their senses.
PR should triumph unless dirty tactics are employed by BN.
PR is no angel but is definitely better than BN in all aspects. BN only knows how to divide and rule.
The Chinese in KT knows fully well what is hudud and cannot be fooled by MCA’s dirty campaign.
