The joker in the pack : Koh Tsu Koon
July 6, 2009
If Tsu Koon ever got tired of politics, the race-based kind or otherwise, and wanted to move on to something else, I always thought he would do well as a stand-up comedian.
In fact, quite a few in BN would do extremely well.
I don’t mean to make fun of a person’s looks, but don’t you think that if he was slightly worked over in the studion, he could very well stand in as Malaysia’s own Mr. Bean?
Anyway, NSTonline today amply confirmed that Tsu Koon is definitely ‘funny man’ material.
In relation to the ongoing Kampung Lorong Buah Pala land dispute, Tsu Koon is reported to have rebuked Guan Eng for trying to pass the buck and said that the present CM of Penang should just get on with the job.
“When they (the current Penang state government) can’t do something, they will blame either the previous state or Federal Government. That is the trick of their trade”, Tsu Koon said.
Good one, Tsu Koon!
Can’t stop laughing!

I heard his line on TV – I was thinking betul betul tak malu !

I did have great respect for KTK after he gracefully hand over the Chief Ministership to Lim GE, but alas, lately he (KTK) has degraded himself to be a lowlife.

Who planted the seed of corruption into the Malay psyche? Malays are by nature very gentle and polite. But when they become greedy they will be the worst breed of trash.
Coming back to my original question: of course, it’s the MCA Chinese. They were the original corrupters of the Malays. In doing so they are willing to stab their own brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers in order to get their hands grubby with filthy lucre.
Do you know why the MCA and Gerakan still want to remain in the BN fold? Because they are treated as special miniputras by UMNO. UMNO are willing to feed these greedy MCA and Gerakan Chinese and starve the ordinary Malays so that they can learn the secret of corruption.
So beware you Pakatan leaders: never accept any MCA or any BN refugees with open arms. Just look at Chua Soi Lek. He was grumbling away and flirting of jumping ship. But when Najib offered him some crumbs he was again singing praises for BN.
Anwar made the fatal mistake of trying to get 30 BN crooks to jump ship. They dallied and calculated the cost and finally decided not to jump. And Anwar got a load of mud splashing on his face and his sterling reputation was flushed into the sewers. So take this as a lesson, Pakatan.

I think you have got it absolutely right. Pakatan ought not accept anyone who has achieved leadership status in BN. Accept grassroots members, fine, but not any of their leaders. Anwar I hope you now realise the folly of your actions in trying to entice the enemy into bed.

this same joker is the immediate past chief minister of penang and the current gerakan president, and yet, his aide told reporters,
“Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon will consult Gerakan members in Penang before making any comments on the Kampung Buah Pala issue.”

dont know whether to laugh or cry

Come on bro
He’s a dead ringer for Kermit The Frog with those bulging eyes.
He’s now begged his way to the all important post of KPI’s with which M’sia will be catapulted to 1st World Status. The People voted him out at GE 2008, but why Najib needs him is like virgin birth, a very, very deep mystery!
July 7, 2009 at 6:03 am
If really Malaysia is all about pitching one race against another, the Chinese then should recognise the Trojan Horse that Koh is.
The Kampung Buah Pala was supposed to be Trust Property. The State was supposed to be the Trustee. Well, at least that is what I recall reading somewhere.
The beneficiaries were to be only life time beneficiaries with a right of occupation I presume.
It is the Trust that needs to be examined to see what it is all about. What I cannot understand is why no one has asked to look at this Trust Deed. If indeed this is Trust Property it is the Trust Deed that gives the rights to the Trustee..the state…
Does the Trustee have the right to dispose the trust property? If so how and what is to be done with the proceeds?
I even read that the land was gifted. Well, if it was a Trust, I cannot see when or how it now has become a gift. Creating a Trust does not by itself tantamount to a gift.
Hey, you lawyers and lawyer buroks, why aren’t you guys looking at it from this angle?
July 7, 2009 at 7:46 am
Ha ha Very fine tactic KSK, just do whatever you want to while you are the govt, and when you lose claim no responsibality. Bijak!! bijak!!.
July 7, 2009 at 7:48 am
If Koh has any more pride left as a human being he should do the needful and STOP acting like a clown by cleverly giving out rhetorics to confuse the people. Stand up and admit this problem was created during your administration, and help Lim to resolve it with federal help-by this you are not helping Lim but the Penang folk.We Malaysians look so stupid in the eyes of the world,no thanks to our many many idiot BN politicians
July 7, 2009 at 7:58 am
KTK , Toyo , Bung and Sammy will defintely make a good comedy team. Reminds me of the hit TV comedy sitcom Pi-mei Pi-mei Tan-tu.
July 7, 2009 at 8:57 am
Haris…..
You cannot compare him to a Mr. Bean…! He only acts “stupid” when required !
Okay….????
Rowan A. is a smart man. Now he’s a millionaire by doing an honest living & hard work.
I’ve seen his Mr. Bean reruns many times & still like it.
I’m sure many of us do…!
Koh Tsu Khoon..???
I better shut up coz the words that’s gonna come out of my mouth…………………..
Eee…..!
July 7, 2009 at 9:32 am
Sorry, Haris, Do you not mean to say “the Joke in the pack?” It would have been funny had it not been for the fact that Penang is still paying the price of his 18 years as ‘leader’. I guess the joke is on us.
July 7, 2009 at 10:34 am
In addition to my queries in my earlier posting, I quote from today’s “The Star Online”: “Arifin also confirmed that Kampung Buah Pala was sited on state leasehold land for 99 years, encompassed an area of 24,683.96 sq m (6.59 acres) and was earmarked for residential development.”
It says State Leasehold land. Does that mean that the state only has a leasehold interest in the said property?
In which case who owns the freehold? The Trust??
Does the Trust permit the leasing of the land to the state so that the state then has, for the duration of the Lease, free rein over the land? Is this the manner in which the State enabled itself to facilitate the creation of wealth for some interim war lord?
Question is, when was the leasehold created? Why was it created? Were these intentions intimated in the original Trust? Are the Developers going to be telling potential buyers that the freeholder in this land is a Trust?
By the way, have anyone of you heard of such a thing as a state leasehold land? I always thought the state had the freehold interest and it issued leasehold titles.
July 7, 2009 at 10:36 am
And to think this chap was quite respected in his university days!
What twisted logic, if it can be called “logic” at all. Ayoh…
Perhaps he may want to form a partnership with his BN brother-in-”ex-MB”-arms, Khir Toyo. Same tune, same melody, same earth-shattering “logic”.
Aiyah, can even round up the whole bunch of BN “ex” kakis who are all on the same wavelength, and have and form a choir conducted by the selective recall king himself.
July 7, 2009 at 10:40 am
KTK can be Malaysia Mr Bean?
He is not qualify!
Mr Bean has such a well known character!
KTK will just damage the good name of Mr Bean!
July 7, 2009 at 10:46 am
KTK lacks courage to admit responsibility for what he had done when he was CM regarding land deals. Perhaps he had not much of a choice then. He was put there by his ‘real bosses’ so he has to listen to their instructions.
Can’t blame him totally. He was just a nice guy. His ‘real bosses’ liked him for much of the 18 years he was kept there.A lot of ‘deals’ got done according to the wishes of his ‘bosses’
Too bad for LGE. The post of CM comes with all kinds of challenges. As a politician, he needs to take these challenges head on. It’s a learning curve for him. I suppose he has done reasonably well so far.
July 7, 2009 at 10:53 am
The opposition never fail to complain about all the corruption and incompetence of the ruling government.
When LGE won and became CM, he should not be surprised that he is currently inheriting all these ’shit’.
July 7, 2009 at 11:12 am
Geek is the more appropriate word for ksk. Taken the money and pass the buck to lge. Just plain insulting the malaysians intelligence. 30 years behind time.
July 7, 2009 at 11:19 am
A once highly-respected academic has over the years developed a very thick skin. The words ‘Shame, ‘conscience’ and ‘principle’ have since been omitted from his vocabulary.
July 7, 2009 at 12:39 pm
The joke’s on you, Feste. feeling sore after being taken for a ride, eh? some rollercoaster ah??. Dude, come down to earth for a change, instead of sticking your skull through them clouds………..hahahahahahahhaahhahahahhaha….LGE pulled a fast one and “Umar abdul aziz’s” followers must now be real cheesed off by his tricks and passing the buck magic….hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhahahahhhahahhhaha///serves you lot right for putting faith in imbecile charlatans……hahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahahahahahhhahahahhaha

Arrest him under ISA.
He should be protected under the ISA for being so stupid !
July 7, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Can someone, maybe the current State Government get a copy of the original Trust Deed and post it on the net so that we can all see for ourselves what was the Settlor’s original intention. If it is a charitable trust for the benefit of a specific class of people, this trust can be held in perpetuity and not subject to the 80 years rule (trust period).
The difference between charitable and express private trust involve the following considerations:
1. Certainties : a charitable trust do not need to fulfill the certainty of object rule that is the Beneficiary need not be specific.
2. Income Tax : a charitable trust is free from income tax whereas the other type of trust are taxable. (So was any income tax paid all these years?)
3. Local taxes : a charitable trust is exempted from all local taxes.
4. Perpetuity Rule: a charitable trust is not subject to all aspects of perpetuity principle. Under this rule a charitable trust must vest during a certain period defined by law and is not subject to alienability rule.
Whoever was the Trustee (if indeed a Trust exist) is governed by the Trustee Act 1949. It is fundamental for every Trustee to carry out the terms of the trust. If the Trustee fails to do so, he may be removed as Trustee by a Court even if no harm has been done to the Beneficiary or to the trust. The Trustee has to act honestly. Failure to comply with a clause in the trust deed amounts to a breach of duty. Such breach of duty may or may not amount to a civil or criminal breach of trust depending on the circumstances of the case.
So does this Trust exist?. If it does, what were the original contents ??. Need documentary proof lah !!
July 7, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Where was Koh Tsu Koon when they tore his portrait from the wall and stepped on it in front of national television? Dare not even mutter a whisper… chicken!
Do not forget his selection of this Teng and then the next Teng and finally two other Tengs as potential CM if Gerakan had won the last GE12.
I challenge him to come to any hawker or food court in Penang to have his breakfast… I am sure the grassroots will ‘welcome’ him….
July 7, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Harris, you’re insulting Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) by saying this dumbo Koh Tsu Koon can be as good as him.
Ask Koh Tsu Koon how many hill slope development projects he approved in the last 6 months before he lost the election? He has transformed and defaced the entire stretch of beach front of Penang from Tanjung Bungah to Batu Ferringhi, we hold him responsible.
I suggest he disappear and not make himself heard ever again, I puke everytime I see him on TV.
July 7, 2009 at 3:01 pm
And we never forget what he said after being kicked out of the parliamentary election at Batu Kawan “I will never accept a ministerial post through the back door”. How now Tsu Koon?
July 7, 2009 at 4:08 pm
I’m not really sure what is brewing in Kampung Buah Pala but LGE should expose any mismanagement on the issue and show it to the public on what really transpired
On another note, KTK was never a fighter and will never be one…especially against UMNO
July 7, 2009 at 5:05 pm
KTK is a SHAMELESS COWARDLY EUNUCH – i.e. his balls have been CASTRATED by the UMNO-putras’s keris.
KTK is a DISGRACE to the Penangites.
The scandal with Kg Buah Pala happened during and under his administration… and he does not even BLUSH for blaming LGE for the SHITTY MESS his administration has produced.
disgusted penangite.
July 7, 2009 at 6:11 pm
aiya ah koon ar, guan eng also forgot to tear your photo like the umno ah peh did last year hor? if he has doned that you’ll give him credit too hor.
anytime when you’re free tell me, i’ll go tear your photo right in front of you, thats what i’ve learn from your umno guys. and step on it too.
what a shameful doctor, may piss be with you!
July 7, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I thought he said he would not want to be a “BACK DOOR MINISTER”? So what is he now? A front door minister appointed through SENATORSHIP?????
July 7, 2009 at 10:34 pm
KTK was all fire and brimstone today(7-7-2009). Very rudely gesticulating and dismissing LGE’s suggestion that he should brief najib.
Solution is been worked out at the moment but what the rakyat would like to have is some decent and civil answers to the many questions raised about kermit’s complicity. Please don’t take us for fools KTK. You have a lot to answer to.
More importantly is that we will not forget come next GE. Your answers or your lack of answer will determine how many people will vote.
As a CM KTK had failed his duties to the people of penang. As a person he had failed in upholding his self-respect.
July 7, 2009 at 11:19 pm
mr KRA,
you caused the state to lose RM40m on the quary land scandal and you refused to provide info to assist the state in minimising the losses.
you gave away a piece of goldmine land on the cheap at RM3m so that some BN cronies can enrich themselves at the expense of the villagers.
goodness, you have no shame and have the temerity to talk about KPI and KRA. What a hypocrite, Mr KRA. You are no educationist, nothing but a shameless snakeoil salesman.
July 8, 2009 at 1:17 am
When it comes to questions of ethics BN politicos like Tsu Koon and Pink Lips are spineless creeps. Problem is, as soon as BIG MONEY is involved, their egos become priapic and they can get rabidly vicious. Watch out for their fangs, folks!
July 8, 2009 at 1:37 am
I suggest he disappear and not make himself heard ever again, I puke everytime I see him on TV.
and thanx
