Selangor, I am told, is the richest state in the federation.
The jewel in the federal crown.
One of the reasons UMNO is desperate to get it back.
And, so I am told, why some Pakatan leaders would love the chance to be at the helm.
So much available for the picking.
Imagine you are running the state of Selangor, as you would a company you own, and are recruiting staff.
You need someone to help in managing the finances.
A resume comes in.
You do a background check and find that this person had a previous issue with the authorities of wealth and assets in his or his spouse’s name that did not make sense, given his income then.
The individual is called for an interview, and at the interview, he is asked to explain this.
His response : I was cleared by the authorities.
You ask the individual to explain how this wealth was amassed given his income then.
His response : I was cleared by the authorities. My conscience is clear.
With this explanation and, without more, would you now hire this individual to help manage the finances?
I would not.
If you still don’t know what I am referring to, please read my previous posts HERE and HERE.
Need I say more?

Haris,
You are, indeed, a hard man who is uncompromising. 🙂
Thanks for reminding me of those two posts which I should have remembered as I have followed your blog long enough.
The wheels of Malaysian politics are certainly greased by corrupt money and the extent to which corruption has percolated into our lives have meant that many Malaysians, me included, seem not to notice it, until pointed out to us.
On my part, I recall paying RM20 when I was 17 y.o. to a patrol car at about 2 a.m. My only defence was, and still is, that I was frightened into paying up and yes, I was in the wrong.
It has been quite a few years since I was 17 y.o. and I am proud to say that I have NEVER paid any bribes since – not even when I picked up a new passport in under 2 hours a couple of years ago.

Haris,
One of those Malaysia Today links in the above two old articles of yours is not working.
Pls find the new link.

For those interested, serious allegations were made against Azmin Ali in that arrticle.
Thanks, bro

Had a few things to say in response to your posting a day or two ago but deleted everything. Since then, our exact thoughts are being brought forth by others – charge the man if he is guilty. That 50 page dossier is like reading Enid Blyton – friction at its best. The PKR political charade is out from a preschooler’s note book.
Although much respect for people like Tukar Tiub and Sakmongkol, we must face the truth. PKR & PAS has their differences and we are now told the real reason. PAS wants Kuli as PM and somebody else wants to be MB of Selangor while another wants the right seat beside the man who wants to be king (small capitals if you may please) while another group keeps an elegant silence.
And we wonder why Malaysia is what it is today – a divisive, full of hate and suspicious society. In that case we may as well agree with Tun M, better to have the devil we know than the one we don’t want unless we take change to the next level… in parliament or DUNs without the present dross.
If the Selangor assembly is dissolved, we hope people like yourself, Chegu Bard and others will run as independents especially in PKR/BN seats with an alliance of PSM & PRM and possibly PAS.
PS. Kuli will make a good leader.

rajraman666,
“…Tell me which Political Trader don’t take bribe?…”
That’s easy – every single one of them do not take bribes 🙂
If you have proof that any one of them does take bribes, present that proof in a public forum, e.g. documents, receipts, emails, wire taps, SMS, photographs, sound recordings, etc etc etc 🙂
BTW, also be prepared for that proof to be verified for authencity. You see, Malaysians have a tendency to claim body doubles, forgeries, and the like.
Look forward to your proof of bribe taking.
Thank you. 🙂

never let Selangor return to B N but ABU.

Should have said this earlier during GE13. Next time, when you say ABU, make sure you explicitly highlight the UMNO-like members in PKR (read: Azmin Ali, Saifuddin Nasution, heck even Hee Loy Sian – and you damn well know thats true..)
Anyway, this is probably a good time to bring back MCLM.

Andrew Lim…when it suits you, you need ABU to help you decipher whose who…is that it? So don’t decry its worth
By the way MCLM is dead wood.
ABU on the other hand is a vibrant entity, it acts as a challenge to people who really need guidance and most of all to be able to use their brains on what is right and what is wrong and who’s who.
Blyme mate you sound so demanding….
This whole affair is such a distraction on the real issues which remain gapingly unresolved and makes us turn our attention to position seekers, As if we do not have enough of that.
The only Party with a clean slate …..Parti Socialis Malaysia. This is the only party brave enough and clean enough….no precious time wasted..
