In November last year, I wrote to Big Ears to request a dialogue with Penangites who had attended our Bangsa Malaysia Pulau Pinang and who wanted to meet up with him to share their concerns. I sent a reminder in December.
I f you don’t recall or are in this blog for the first time, you can read the posts relating to this HERE and HERE.
Until today, there has been no response to your request. From this man who claims to want to know our concerns!
Remember your resolutions at the Bangsa Malaysia forum?
- No more race-based political parties
- No more incompetence in Parliament
- Civil society taking ownership of governance of the nation
- No more racial delineation
Pak Lah isn’t interested in any of these! Why do I say this? Because he has been a ‘cakap tak serupa bikin’ PM these 4 years.
Look at his 2004 pre-election promises to us.
Which has he delivered on?
None!
Remember his now famous ‘Work with me, not for me’?
We were all so taken up and taken in by his posturing that we forgot to tell him that in fact he was to work for us.
Us.
We are the bosses. We are the Yang Berhormat.
Pak Lah was supposed to be a Yang Berkhidmat.
Has he served us or served himself?
You, the Yang Berhormat, asked to see him, who is supposed to serve us, and he ignores your request!
What would you call such behaviour of one who is supposed to answer to us?
Biadap?
He’s going to come to you again now, promising heaven and earth and everything in between. Don’t fall for it again.
Just print this poster and give it to him and shoo him away.
Tell him it has been hell for may Malaysians under his BN regime.
Tell him we, all Malaysians, will now place our hopes on our own Barisan Harapan Rakyat and our own People’s Declaration.

An open letter to Shah Alam voter!
Kepada pengundi-pengundi di Shah Alam yang telah berdaftar dan mempunyai hak untuk mengundi, berfikirlah dengan waras sebelum mengundi. Saya tidak mempunyai hak untuk mengundi tahun ini kerana saya berada di Bali pada Jan/Feb, Pak Lah telah mengumumkan untuk mengadakan pilihanraya dan saya tidak mempunyai kesempatan untuk mendaftarkan diri (Saya akui itu adalah kesilapan saya pada tahun lepas). Saya mendapat tahu bahawa Anwar Ibrahim layak bertanding pada April 2008 dan pilihan raya ini di percepatkan agar beliau tidak dapat bertanding di pilihan raya tahun ini. Jadi hanya inilah yang mampu saya sumbang dan mahu melihat perubahan di bandar Shah Alam.Di bawah ini adalah sebab-sebabanda harus tau kenapa anda perlu melakukan perubahan dan mengundi dengan bijak :
1. Tanah Hutan Simpanan Bukit Cerakah telah di tukar status kepada tanah perumahan sebanyak 30% oleh Khir Toyo padahal tanah hutan simpanan ini harus di kekalkan untuk masa hadapan kita juga dan pemuliharaan sekitar dan saya lihat banyak rumah yang di bina tidak di duduki lagi kerana harga yang mahal dan tidak mampu di miliki oleh penduduk Shah Alam. Kenapa tidak mahu membina rumah kos murah di kawasan industri/kilang yang mana masih ramai yang menyewa rumah di sana dan juga di Kuala Selangor yang mana masih banyak lagi penduduk kampung yang tinggal di rumah yang di perbuat oleh kayu dari membina rumah mewah di Shah Alam yang tidak mampu di miliki oleh penduduknya yang berpendapatan rendah?
2. Shah Alam diisytiharkan sebagai bandaraya pada 10 Oktober 2000 dan saya berharap dapat melihat agar banyak perubahan untuk penduduk dari segi ekonomi, kesihatan, keselamatan, fasilti dan lain-lain. Saya memilih dari aspek kesihatan yang paling penting dalam hidup kita kerana kalau kita tidak sihat kita tidak mampu untuk mencari nafkah dan melakukan sebarang pekerjaan. Apa yang saya berharap kerajaan negeri dapat membina Hospital Awam setelah di naikkan taraf sebagai bandar seperti di Petaling Jaya dan Klang. Kita tidak mampu untuk membayar harga perubatan di Hospital Swasta seperti Selangor Medical Centre dan Darul Ehsan Medical Centre. Kenapa harus kita sebagai bandar Shah Alam yang mempunyai jumlah penduduk melebihi 400,000 orang (syarat-syarat untuk mendapat mengiktirafan bandar dari laman web MBSA) tidak mempunyai Hospital Awam, adakah semua orang Shah Alam kaya? Kenapa susah sangat mahu membina Hospital Awam? Kenapa mudah sekali dibangunkan pusat kesenian di belakang Hotel Grand Bluewave? Adakah kita perlu meminta bantuan dari Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary supaya membina hospital di Shah Alam? Tanyalah diri anda selama 8 tahun Shah Alam menjadi bandaraya adakah taraf kesihatan penduduk semakin baik dengan masalah di belenggu denggi dan lain-lain.
3. Sewaktu saya kecil sehingga sekolah menengah kawasan seksyen 2 Shah Alam mempunyai tapak gerai di pinggir jalan dan peniaga makanan secara kecil-kecilan yang telah lama berniaga. Kawasan gerai itu telah dirobohkan dengan idea MBSA untuk membina bangunan baru yang lebih bersih dan selesa tetapi setelah 8 tahun masih lagi seperti dahulu dan gerai yang di pindahkan di hadapan Wet World adalah amat jelik, kotor dan berbau. Kasihan kepada peniaga-peniaga gerai yang tersepit kerana birokrasi kerajaan dan tidak dapat berniaga dengan selesa dan masih menunggu selama 8 tahun untuk mendapat gerai baru.
4. Masih anda ingatkah litar lumba Shah Alam dahulu yang terkenal dengan Mick Doohan dan lain-lain. Selain itu litar di Batu Tiga itu memberi platform untuk mat rempit berlumba pada hujung minggu. Litar tersebut di musnahkan oleh Khir Toyo dan memberi peluang kepada Lebar Daun untuk membina kawasan perumahan baru. Sekarang anda dapat melihat bandar Anggerik ini dipenuhi oleh Mat Rempit setiap malam dan menjadi sesak dan tidak selamat. Kenapa tidak membina litar trek yang baru untuk mereka berlumba dengan kos yang kecil? Saya amat membenci bila melihat dataran Shah Alam dipenuhi oleh mat rempit dan membuat bising sesuka hati. Mereka menjadi begitu kerana tidak mempunyai tempat berlumba yang sah, aah lupakan ajalah tentang Shah Alam kalau anda merasakan Shah Alam tidak memerlukan perubahan……..

They say you can bluff somebody some of the time but you cannot bluff everybody all the time. Only fools would continue to believe the ‘work with me and not for me’ slogan now!
This is the time for change and any change cannot be worse than the situation now. The HP6 government under this so-called leadership is doomed to fail. They are only interested in self interests to the detriment of the Rakyat. They are only looking into short term gains instead of long term planning like better Education, better amendities for the people like claen water, clean air, healthy thoughts. Instead they prefer the shortest route to fame and fortune by embarking on and capitalising on Malay rights, Malay this and Malay that, to garner support and reaping rich rewards to invest overseas …. All these for their own benefits. They couldn’t care less about the poor Malays, the poor Chinese and the poor Indians, all the poor Rakyat. Worse still these people have been misled by their own kind like UMNO, MCA and MIC, each looking into the interests of themselves only. They don’t bother so long as they have reaped the rich harvets, continuing to rob the tax payers! How long can the people tolerate this hegemony: the misuse of power for fame and fortune; for the benefits of the few! without regard for the populous. How long can the Rakyat take this kind of treatment?
Knowing that we are being misled, knowing that we have been fooled. This is the time for CHANGE. The Rakyat in this watershed Election certainly can effect the change! It begins with me! Let us vote wisely this time for now and for generations to come. This is the time, there is no better time. So many faults have surfaced, so many corrupt practices have surfaced …. and there are more. The judiciary has now become the laughing stock of the world, the crime rates have gone up and the prices of everything has sky-rocketed …. We must put a stop to all these and the time is NOW!

True racial harmony shown at majority of Barisan Rakyat nomination and election centres nationwide. Working sincerely hand in hand voluntarily without any discrimination. Unlike BN, who show up only with allowance given to show their fake happy faces.

Dear Sharing (and others who post reference URLs)…
Long URLs are not only cumbersome, they often get chopped because of word wrap. That results in broken links.
When faced with a long URL, go to http://tinyurl.com/ paste your long URL into the box provided and get a shorter version such as http://tinyurl.com/2yptsz, which is the short version of your 175 character URL above.
Hope this helps.

Haris,
You know there is a new website ‘Letters to the PM’:
http://www.warkahuntukpm.com.my/view_eng.php
FOMCA is one of the 6 bodies behind this site to serve as a platform for all Malaysians to be critical of the government’s performance.
Send the letter to him via this site and see what happens. Will be fun to find out whether they’ll consider the letter ‘rude and abusive’.

PEOPLE OF PENANG, NOW IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE
From students of Professor Dr P Ramasamy, who have benefited tremendously from your guidance and encouragement. For not only championing our rights, but also sacrificially contributing to our cause, we your students render to you our whole hearted encouragement and support.
We ask you the People of Penang to give your full support to Professor Dr P Ramasamy.
Professor Dr P Ramasamy is very experienced, competent and capable, he represents the better of two worlds, a well sought after Political Scientist and an affiliate of an International Think Tank.
Renowned for his work not only on locally but also internationally he has been dubbed as a “street politician” who has done extensive work hand in hand with hawkers, petty traders and small entrepreneurs, in addition to providing consultancy to large multinational corporations.
He is actively involved in providing solutions and free advice for the poor and the marginalised. He represents the voice of the common man. He understands well the issues concerning the poor, as he himself is a product of the grass roots, being the son of an Estate Worker.
He rose from this humble beginning to the ranks of a Professor at UKM and has conducted extensive research in Industrial Relations, Socially and Economically disadvantaged sectors of the economy and has worked with students at tertiary level.
In addition he has published articles in international journals and is a convention speaker on Globalisation and human relations. He is very well known and has been known to negotiate on international peace initiatives. He is much sought after for his intervention in Labour Arbitration and Negotiation.
Prof Ramasamy is known to stand up for the rights of students at universities, and has championed their rights irrespective of race, colour or creed. He has time and again proven his mettle, especially when he took up the cause of medical students. Remember this is the man who sacrificed with his job, when he spoke up for the medical students of Crimea State University.
Professor P. Ramasamy was Appointed to the DAP Central Executive Committee (CEC) as International DAP Secretary in 2005 and DAP is a signatory of the “Peoples Declaration”
People of Penang, now is your only chance, bring in change and it is in your hands, with the stoke of a pen, bring in this man who will champion your cause, fight for your rights even at the risk of his freedom. Here is a representative who will make a stand for you, he stood up for us, now you give him a chance to stand up for you.
Most importantly he is a man of integrity and honesty, he is known to speak out fearlessly, for certainty it would augur well to have such representation in Parliament.
So its “Over to You People of Penang”. Don’t miss this opportunity. Vote for Change, it is a vote towards a Better Malaysia.
Professor Dr P Ramasamy – you have a formidable opponent, in Dr Koh Tsu Koon but we are confident that you will come out a winner.
We your Students wish you the very best . We pray for your Success and Victory.
BATU KAWAN AND PRAI: MAKE YOUR VOTE – A VOTE FOR HONESTY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – ELECT DR P RAMASAMY.
From your students from public and private institutes of higher learning.

No doubt about it,who we are going to vote,its has to be the opposition party of course!.After 50 years of rule by the BN regime,its time we vote for change.The BN party has been swindling and siphoning away billions of ringgit from the country coffers under the guise of developing the nation,the master crooks sitting in the cabinet have literaly been cleaning up the resources of this beautiful country. The political based party of BN has in fact keep the Malaysian of all races from being truly united and focus in moving the country forward.After the colonial master , BN has taken over the role and rule by keeping the population divided and pitting them against one another with various issues.BN should be disposed away as it is irrevelant in this age and era.We should have one parties that consist of all races.This country is a rich country which is able to take care of its population,the Petronas money is being wipe away by the elite members of the ruling party.There are enough money for the Malaysian people of all races to have free education,free medicalcare,free housing for the poor ,welfare and financial help if the money is manage properly.As Barack Obama ,the U.S.presidential candidate says , “this is the defining moment for the country,its time to vote for change,…and change is here.”
Well fellow country man and woman, its time we vote a new goverment,lets get rid of the rotten BN.Denying 2/3rd majority is insufficent to stop the crooks and thiefs leading the BN party.Lets come out in full force on March 8 and vote the opposition, be it DAP,PKR or PAS.Lets give the chance that we have deny to them all this while.Lets vote for the future ,for our children and the generations to come,lets make the first step and be counted that voters in the 2008 GE change and rewrote history by kicking out the BN regime. Lets vote and teach them a lesson in humility and in managing a country in professional manner. HIDUP MALAYSIA !!HIDUP DAP,PKR PAS!!! CHEERS!!!!
