‘Open up. I’ve got news for you’, shrieked lil hummingbird outside.
‘Go away. People don’t believe you after your ‘RPK on hunger strike’ false alarm’, I chided.
‘What’s wrong with you people? Is RPK not eating? Is RPK not in a bad way? Does it matter that he’s not on strike but possibly avoiding food served him because he’s concerned about what’s in it? What’s wrong with you people?’
Realising that to-date I’ve have yet to win any argument with this pesky bird, I relented and let him in.
‘Karma, just retribution, an eye for an eye, shylock’s pound of flesh, call it what you want, but word out there is that in the run-up to the impending takeover by Pakatan, many in the civil service, the police, the judiciary, the prosecution have gone beyond the call of duty to frustrate Pakatan’s march to Putrajaya.
‘They may not know it but they are all being noted. Lists are being drawn up. A senior civil servants list, a list of senior police officers, a judges list. Lists and more lists.
‘And when Pakatan finally gets to Putrajaya, justice will be done.
‘A tribunal will be lawfully established to to try these opponents of democracy, these traitors who reneged on their duty to serve the rakyat and instead embroiled themselves in illegalities to pander to their BN masters.
‘They know who they are. Pakatan know too.
‘They plot now. Pakatan are plotting too’.

“And when Pakatan finally gets to Putrajaya, justice will be done”.
The Lists that are being drawn up will be so so long… that new prisons needs to be built to accommodate all these criminals and then maybe we can recover all those millions and billions that was stolen and plundered from this country… just ask Diam and Mamatir.

I am not sure anymore.Some in PAS may support UMNO. I think any person who is a “RACIST” like Lim Kit Siang, Teresa, yourself got no room in fair Malaysia. When I say RACIST – me included, I am talking about one MALAYSIAN RACE. Not the Malay. Indian, Chinese, kadazan etc etc. But we still got idiots around us. 20 or 30 years of government discriminatory policies already created a significant group of civil servants who believe in something that goes against the tenets of true democratic principles. So this list may be very long but then their mind has been conditioned to be so and they won’t feel any guilt.

Your instincts were right, you should not have let lil hummingbird in.
In times like these, we look to blogs like yours for news. The snippets that you provide are often times repeated ad infinitum by your readers. I appreciate that you have no control over this.
You however have the control to publish only those facts that you have verified or believe to be credible. By admission the above source is not credible. That you bought into his justification/spinning of an earlier untruth is shocking.
Spinning is something that you should avoid. We have enough of that in the MSM.
Let not haste to be the first blog out with news colour your judgement.
This is your blog and you have the right to post whatever you choose. And yes the caveat is always on the reader to believe or disbelieve your postings.
Indiscriminate postings however will only give credence to the BN’s assertions about bloggers and stymie attempts to disseminate alternative views and news when necessary.

Its all about vested interests and crooks and thieves protecting their turf.
BN has been good. Thieving is a way of life. Plundering is catered for. All so easy.
Now PR wants to take it all away. How can?
BN has probably got such a bad crop of politicians and leaders that they may have even abdicated a lot of their powers and authority in favour of the civil servants. And the civil servants know it. And they may have already heard from their “former colleagues” in the Pakatan States how their free access to loot has now been plugged.

Kalau le Anwar tu ancaman kepada ekonomi, makanya Pak Dol ngan kabinetnya memang “komunis” ekonomi le. ❓ Cth harga minyak semasa:
1 barrel (tong) = 159 liter
1 USD = RM 3.45 (semasa)
Harga minyak dulu = USD145 x 3.3 (masa naik) / 159 liter = RM3 – (Subsidi) RM0.30 = RM2.70
Harga Minyak Semasa = USD92.7 per tong
Nak senang kira = USD93 x 3.45 (Rate semasa) / 159 liter = RM2 – RM0.30 (Subsidi) = RM1.70
Kita bayar = RM2.55/liter
Harga tanpa subsidi = RM2.00/liter

The Rakyat can’t wait to see those in the civil services who still serve their political BN masters for their own interests will be properly dealt with the rule of law when a new government is in placed.
Yes they might be a long string right from North to South and all the way to Putrajaya, yes many but there will be special task force if needs to be set up to ‘rehabilitate’ or ‘exhume’ those beyond help. There is no other way to improve the civil service if they thought the Rakyat owes them a living by pushing pens aimlessly and hitting Solitaire buttons. They are rewarded with security of a metal bowl and must not think they are indispensable. Those programmes to motivate the civil services should also be checked and proven to yield good performance results and not getting away with some good vacations and great feasting in some 5Star hotel getaway. The taxpayers are deeply concerned the progress of improvement, the attitude and professionalism cannot take a back seat.
The BN has failed miserably to uplift the standard of civil services with much progress and the vital reason for such attitude is because they are not doing their jobs for the Rakyat but serves their political personal interests. There should be proper respect between civil services and the public daily interaction, there should be under the watchful merit/demerit system to reward them.
Of those who has not change will be changed!
Good riddance ‘for those who chose to impair’ a new government that moves with the needs of the Rakyat.

Was just reading Matthias Chang’s website ‘Futurefastforward’, any thoughts on that? In the past decade, there’s been an acceleration in our country’s degeneration. Evident by the major key indicators: crime, economy, FDI’s, etc. These do not happen overnight, takes years of neglect to reach such a serious stage. I worry for the future of our country’s youth, what desecrated future we’ll be handing over to them if we fail to make a positive change?
I recall reading somewhere… The truth is like a seed. Burry it deep into the ground, cover it. One can wish it’s burried and gone. Somehow, the seed will grow, break through the covering and reach for sunlight. This, will happen in our country, it’s nature’s law. I still have hope for us all.

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0107983.html
if malaysia does what south africa did, there is chance for peaceful
transition of government and transformation of society.
following the south african model would mean giving up the ability to
punish/exact retribution/revenge against those state officials who
oppressed society.
not following the south african model could plunge malaysia into an
era of conflict and perhaps bloodshed, as the government, fearing
retribution, tries to hang onto power by any means it can.
if the south african model can be implemented in malaysia, anwar may
become known as the “mandela of malaysia”, leading malaysia to peace,
prosperity, equality and justice for all malaysians.
it is something to consider, what future do we want for our beloved

I feel PR, should enlist these people and sack the whole lot, in some case imprison them cause they knew the law and allowed all misdeeds.
For the Civil Servants, senang aje, hantar depa pi the Borneo jungles ke ke ke or demote and strip em of their precious titles/designations, baru padan muka ke ke ke

This is a game of poker. You don’t show your trump card until you know you can capture the jackpot on the table.
Those who insist on Anwar to give the names of the defecting MPs are naive and politically inexperienced.
We have been asking UMNO to abide by the Federal Constitution and so we too should. There are procedures and processes inthe Federal Consitution which Anwar and PR MUST follow to form a legitimate government.
Unless we want to follow the dictatorship way – in Thailand or Philippines – military coup and the police but there is no way with the UMNO-infested police supporting Anwar. Once PR is in power, those top guns in the POLICE should be retired WITHOUT pension or sacked. They are a disgraced to the citizens with their behaviour on the Bersih and HIndraf rally and the arresting of innocent people under ISA.
Let Anwar and the leaders of PR sort this out… meanwhile we stay calm and watch the drama unfolds. Anwar has called for an emergency seating of Parliament ( which is the correct process under the Federal Constituion).
Seeing the Agung now with the list of names will NOT convince the Agung because that is NOT the way the Federal Constitution required.

PR should remember that all lists drawn by them will be of zero value if heads do not roll.An example harris is in selangor,where after 6 months the civil servants are still behaving as though umno rules the state.The plunder continues as pr supporters think that with regime change, contracts now should go to them
The various heads of depts know that they are untouchables so long as they feed the greed of these supporters.The only way forward would be a civil service having a 60:40 ratio of bumis and non bumi as heads of dept.

Dear Bro Haris,
Alot of Anak Bangsa Malaysia share your sentiments & are impatiently awaiting that elusive “Skychange”.
DSAI has to outsmart the Powers-that-be & not be caught in the “Trap” with the threat thrown at him.
Let us all stay cool & focus on the “Objective Target”
“to reduce BN’s majority”.
With the present Political deadlock turning dangerous & ugly, let us again focus on the need “to reduce BN’s majority”.
Already the BN’s self-destruct mechanism is in action.
More defections will be coming & they should all consider forming the 3rd Front with SAPP taking the lead.
PR only need to focus & hang on to its present numbers.
Let the neutral 3rd Front be the “King maker” with the reduced BN majority.
Devine Intervention will ensure the “Headache” will be on the Powers-that-be with the neutral 3rd Front.
With this, the “Morality” issue can be resolved and any coalition thereafter with PR can be considered to overcome the “Deadlock”.
The ideal thought of calling for another election will not materialise with the “Powers-that-be in its present desperate predicament.

Dear Haris and Blogger,
To Hartal or not to Hartal? Is that the question?
or more importantly when to Hartal? and why?
I think it is crucial that we do not ‘mis-use’ the power that are bestowed on each of us by birth right.
Because, like any good ‘battle’ plan either we consolidate our energy to deliver one fatal blow or we drag this out in a long winded war (guerrilla tactic). This depend on our objective, support, resources, conviction, time, position, etc..
Regardless of this as Sun Tzu said more than 2000 years ago in ‘the art of war’, (it goes something like this) “one should only go into a battle because he/she knows that they will win. And not go into the battle and then try to win it”.
Hence, to Hartal or not to Hartal for me is not the immediate question.
Because we will need a plan (or more) behind this. A plan that is the worthy of the cause for a nation wide Hartal. A plan that should not linked to any political agenda or party (nothing prevent such support from any political party). A plan that put the interest of the nation 1st. A plan that enable us as a nation to built on our past to go forward beyond our imagination and yet grounded. A plan that is so great that inspire us to put aside all our difference and work towards realizing this.
I call on you to start this (if not already). I believe we have all the elements (the card on the table) the next step is to arrange/clarify this to make it a winning game.
Once this is in place. We then ask the question ” hartal or not to hartal” and this will be so powerful that “the battle will be won before even it got started”….
Act now! let us pool our resources together.
Yours respectfully,
Denny

Contrast is a good thing. Contrast is the dissimilarity or difference between things. Just like the difference betweeen day and night, light and darkness.
It is when we are faced with a situation we truly don’t want any longer that we seek to want so dearly, what is truly good for all of us, the rakyat.
Cheers, to our New Malaysia, cherished by all.

Harris, saw you at DSAI’s press conference broadcasted over the net.
The question is, now there is this ISA threat, why can’t DSAI just “go for it”? Shouldn’t he be moving fast?
Well, DSAI can’t just go for it precisely because ISA may be invoked. DSAI may have his expectation or belief about how “desperate” AAB is. But he doesn’t know it for sure. He doesn’t know whether AAB will protect his power at all costs, even that means using martial law to rule the country.
But there is no way to ascertain without acting to see what AAB will do. Also, DSAI cannot delay his move because the sodomy trial is coming up.
So where do you start in facing such scenario? You start with the most “cordial” move, i.e., requesting a tea session with AAB. And hope that AAB would chicken out. If that’s refused, then a more formal request, emergency parliamentary meeting. Refused again, now the gloves have to come out. The stakes become higher.
It’s like persuading a person with hostages, and weapon on his hands to drop the weapon. You always start with soft moves. You don’t draw your weapon until the last minute, even that means you are taking the risks while persuading.
AAB has not backed down. In fact, his chicken act (refusal to meet) is actually a show of bravado. We are seeing an administration that is refusing to give up its power. We are heading for a final show down.
By the way, DSAI has the numbers. No doubt about it. People should put the question to rest. Who are on the list is no longer important IF you accept the fact that he has the numbers.

Raktamrittika:
Your analysis is highly astute and provides potent ammunition to aim at BN’s mindless logic and their lack of compassion for the rakyat, many of whom must surely be reeling from the effects of the current harsh economic climate and food and energy price hikes.

Sha101,
As Haris said, they are on “Hartal” standby mode for now to assess the situation in the next 24/48 hours.
Meanwhile you & those working on the 3rd Front can sit down to brainstorm the action plan to work on convincing SAPP to initiate the move with any BN defectors to be “Independent” & then to be absorbed into their 3rd Front – they will all have a common platform – ex BN component party individuals & party enblock wanting to be “neutral”.
Should UMNO decide to force Mahyuddin out, then he can also take out his team to be “Independent” & be absorbed into the 3rd Front.
Should MCA, MIC, Gerakan, etc wish to breakaway enblock to be Independent – this “Neutral” 3rd Front will be a better option for them as they can then be absorbed likewise.
Let the neutral 3rd Front be the “King maker” with the reduced BN majority.
Devine Intervention will ensure the “Headache” will be on the Powers-that-be with the neutral 3rd Front in the “equation”.
With this, the “Morality” issue can be resolved and any coalition thereafter with PR can be considered to overcome the “Deadlock”.
This will give DSAI & PR more options to circumvent the “Impasse” and for the 3rd Front to concentrate their focus to reduce BN’s majority – offering a better option for those with no future in BN.
By then DSAI will not be a “threat”, rather BN’s new “Headache” will be the 3rd front !
The “Titanic” will be “Crippled” in no time & “Skychange” can be achieved in due course.Insha’Allah.

To all supporters of Pakatan to take over…we must exercise patience in this time;. I am sure DSAI & all PR leaders know what they are doing. We continue to hope for the best and stand by them.
