First, allow me to extend my condolences to you and your family on the tragic and sudden passing of your husband.
It can never be easy for a family when a loved one is snatched away so suddenly.
I also want to congratulate you on being picked by BN to contest in the forthcoming Batu Sapi by-election that has come about through Edmund’s passing.
FreeMalaysiaToday reports that you have asked the voters in Batu Sapi to give you the mandate on 4th November to allow you to continue Edmund’s work in the constituency.
“It is an opportunity for me to carry on with the legacy of good work of my late husband Edmund Chong,” FMT reports you as saying.
Now, I did not know Edmund personally, and he may very well have done much work for the people of Batu Sapi, but what did he do for them, as their representative, in Parliament?
I note that he was into his second term as the MP of Batu Sapi at the time of the tragic accident, as he was first elected in 2004.
Now, when the Bill to extend ex-EC chairman Rashid’s tenure for another year was tabled in Parliament in December, 2007, did Edmund just abide by the BN whip and vote in support of the Bill, or did he revert to the Batu Sapi constituents to get their mandate?
Did Edmund ever revert to the Batu Sapi constituents to update them on the matter of the death of Teoh Beng Hock, to seek their views on the same and to then endeavour to bring this matter up in Parliament?
Has Edmund ever brought up in Parliament the matter of the more than 1 million foreigners in Sabah who are in possession of Mykads?
You see, Linda, as good a man as Edmund might have been, he was also first and foremost a servant to UMNO before he was, if ever he truly was, a representative of the people of Batu Sapi in Parliament.
And as you now come forward and offer to step into his shoes, in reality, you offer the people of Batu Sapi no better than what Edmund brought to them.
In your campaign, will you tell the people of Batu Sapi what your thoughts are on the death of Beng Hock and the more than 1,800 other deaths in custody?
Will you share with them how you plan to bring up in Parliament the menace that Dr M’ project M and the more than 1 million ‘pendatangs’ with Mykads pose to the people of Sabah?
Will you share with them how you propose to bring up in Parliament how Sabahans have been denied the benefits that ought to have accrued to them pursuant to the 20-point agreement?

Linda can’t answer Harris. It’s PBS taiko Pairin must answer Harris. This threesome game is getting interesting. I felt Harris isn’t asking the right questions.
Actually, the pressure is on SAPP not on Not on PBS & PKR. PBS got 1500 postal votes head start. Provided Musa Aman decided not to sabotage PBS.
SAPP got to attack BN first & that means PBS. Because of Yong’s deed. Guess why I strongly disagree SAPP should be left alone fighting against BN.

Hi HARIS IBRAHIM,
On behalf of LINDA, kindly allow me to ANSWER your STUPID QUESTIONS.
1) TEOH BENG HOCK case
This case is now in the Court & it’s no point to discuss this as it’s better to leave it to the JUDGE. This case could well be a MURDER but it also can be a SUICIDE case. Don’t you think it’s STUPID to jump to CONCLUSION when VERDICT is not even out yet???
2) Ex-EC CHAIRMAN TENURE
Did Lim Guan Eng consult his constituency before closing the case of KAMPUNG BUAH PALA? Did DAP CON-sult & respect the PERAK SULATAN before revolting to have their PATHETIC meeting under a STUPID TREE of which DAP dubbed “POKOK DEMOKRASI”??? My answer is as good as yours, bro!!! Pandai lah sikit.
3) MORE THAN 1 MILLION FOREIGNERS WHO HAVE MYKADS in SABAH
Why not you compile & show proof of these so-called 1 MILLION ILLEGAL MYKADS HOLDERS before opening your mouth??? I heard there’s also 1 MILLION of such ILLEGAL MYKADS in Penang, Kedah, Kelantan & Selangor. So, what is LIM GUAN ENG, ANWAR IBRAHIM & NIK AZIZ going to do about it??? Cakap pakai BUKTI lah. Your words are as good as SHIT in my toilet bowl lah.
4) LATE EDMUND is a SERVANT TO UMNO???
It’s as good as saying LIM GUAN ENG, LIM KIT SIANG, NIK AZIZ, TONY PUA, TERESA KOK & Co are servants to ANWAR IBRAHIM. Your question can only be regarded as “BODOH LAGI BANGGANG”. *Sigh*
5) 1,800 DEATH IN CUSTODY
What the ****??? Haris, I’m sure you’re be the 1st & ONLY one to rally against the FREEDOM of the 2 BANTING BROTHERS who are now charged for MULTIPLE KIDNAPS cum MURDERS. Overhaul your BRAINS & go get a life, will ya???
I hope my CLARIFICATIONS will help enlighten your SHALLOW MENTALITY. No need to THANK me….”It’s my pleasure”

One of the jobs of a MP or Assemblyman is to see the Government works according to Rules and Regulations with accountability, tramsparancy and efficiency and respect the Rights and lives of the people. If not they should advise his constitution and seek the opinions from them so as to speak on their behalf in the Parliament. Points 1, 3, 4 fall onto this category.
For TEOH BENG HOCK case
The Police and MACC have continuously dragging with a proper investigation procedure. And, the Police has purposely wrongly classified the case as Sudden Death instead of Unknown Death. A lot of basic things had already gone wrong.
For Point 2
If LGE had not done what he should which in your opinion is same with Edmund. Two wrongs cannot make one Right, isn’t it?
Points 3 is very serious as same happened at least 1,800 times!!
If these are not important for a MP to discuss with his constitution. Then, what should be the job of an MP.
ALL THESE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE PASSED TO ALL MPs!!
But, do we have another chance to ask Edmund?
Or, it is improper to ask a “could-be” successor of Edumnd who happened to be his wife?
What good hsd UMNO done so far for the country?
If his MP had not voiced out the mistakes UMNO had made and the damages that they had made to the country, should People regards this kind of MP as servant for the People, or, should he be labelled as Servant for UNMO?
If no one can tell us Edmund had done his jobs as a MP, then, please leave this last chance of debate with Linda!! Also a chance for her to speak for herself in the coming by-election!!

tokz,
1) the same court system which delivered an open verdict to the recent r.gunasegaran case? the same court system which allowed for the witholding of crucial information from the defence in anwar’s case? the same court system which found in favour of the illegal-ganesan perak speaker when you-tube evidence clearly showed how outsiders forcibly dragging out the at-that-point-still-valid speaker siva from his speaker’s seat? the same court system which said the courts have no jurisdiction in a state state assembly (perak) while having jurisdiction in another parliament cases (gobind’s suspension)? a court system which sold its soul via vk lingam – documented and found having a case to answer by no less than a royal commission of enquiry? are the talking about the same court system here? the same court system which allowed an 11th-hour introduction of crucial ‘evidence’ in the form of ‘that letter’?
and, if it’s murder, that should make it alright is it? the excruating factor which led to the alleged suicide should not be taken into account, is that what u r implying? i put a gun in your hand and point another to your family thereby forcing you to pull the trigger on yourself, and i am not guilty of anything. is that your line of argument?
2) kg buah pala — guan eng consulted the constituency and decided on the course of action which took place. it was clear to me and a lot of others i think (but not u, obviously) that the so-called noises were created by certain individuals backed by an evil party. where are those individuals now? i think u want to condemn kg buah pala to a lifetime of servility and odwn-trodden ways of life. or do u think guan eng should hold a referendum before he makes every decision? ever heard of the proposed freedom of inforation act being proposed by penang? when was the last time u heard of anything of that sort from the umno/bn govt? which side of malaysia do u want to live in?
3) go to sabah lah. ask around lah. come out of your hole lah. maybe not a million, i grant u. it could be more. project-m was well underway before the internet age.
4) late edmund i dont know him to be a servant of umno or not. he could well be a servant to the people. i’ll leave an open verdict on this. the general prevailing agreement is that all bn component parties are subservient to umno, save perhaps to a lesser extent sarawak taib’s party. even that, we are not so sure now. have u seen any non-umno bn leader stood up to umno the way pas-pkr-dap act as a check&balance towards each other? can u see any parallel between umno/bn and pakatan in this respect?
5) banting brothers?? what has death in custody got to do with them? i thought each citizen (human) is entitled to fair treatment in accordance to the law, guilty or not? i am not advocating first-class hotel treatment to suspects but surely not death? or worse, death before trial? come on….
i wait for your answers.

We don’t need your explantion. Linda is pro-apartheid and ethically incorrect to stand.
No disrespect for the dead but only one word. Nepotism. How would we like it if Rosmah was to take over immediately if Najib suddenly passed away. This is why BN is finished. No sense of ethics. No sense of propriety. Terrible political culture. And I don’t think the Heavens or Hells would appreciate this ‘succession’ going on here at all, being ethical and incorruptible bodies in charge of the dead.

For Sabahans to decide how they should vote especially in situations where the candidate is popular (rightly or wrongly), I suggest we analyse the purpose of our votes based on the following weights: the strategic vote should count prominently with a 50% weight and the balance 20% accorded to the political candidate and 30% for his/her policies.
I believe this is a fair system of deciding how to vote. If you think that voting against BN is the best for Sabah’s long-term economic and political future, then the 50% of your decision will outweigh the sympathy vote for Linda Tsen Thau Lin, which is a maximum of 20%. However, if her policies and vision for a new Batu Sapi/Sandakan are very good and inspiring, then she gets another 30% which will make the voter’s decision a tougher one to call.
Pls read my post-March 8 GE analysis for the swing factor that tipped the 12th General Election:

Dear Linda, and if by any chance that you make it to Parliament, I do have a few questions for you to speak in Parliament on behalf of all of us odinary Malaysians.
Before that we would like to Thanks the BN partys for the past 50 years who have been telling all Malaysians that how good and kind they have been taking care of us ordinary citizens and we should be gladful to them. I will and I will also pass on the good words and deeds of BN if Linda can get an answer to my following questions:
In the past 50 years in Malaysian Parliament all the YBs and MPs (past and present):
1) How many of them do not have or own a “MY SECOND HOME” in a foreign country?
2) How many of them do not send their CHILDREN to study in a foreign country school, college or University?
3) How many of them do not have or own a foreign country “BANK ACCOUNT?
4) How many of them are really that be so “RESPONSIBILITY” and “ACCOUNTABILITY”?
Item 4, This is the “3rd FORCE”, the quality of a YB and MP, not “quantity” and that’s the vote of an ordinary Malaysian citizen will vote for regardless of which party.
TOKZ
October 25, 2010
Hi WONG,
No need LINDA to answer. I can ANSWER you these simple questions.
1) Having a SECOND HOME is irrelevant to this topic. Having a 2nd HOME does not make one LOVE Malaysia any lesser. It’s TOTALLY OK to have even 1,000,000 HOMES anywhere in the world, got it??? I think WONG you are just being plain JEALOUS becos’ you don’t have a SECOND HOME, right??? Well, stop being JEALOUS, ok??? Like a small kid lah you.
2) Sending our KIDS whether to a LOCAL or FOREIGN INSTITUTION is NOT important. This is an issue of preference. Sending a KID to a FOREIGN SCHOOL does NOT mean LOCAL SCHOOLS are worse off. Just like you WONG, if your FATHER chooses to eat NASI LEMAK doesn’t mean he’s eating the WRONG FOOD simply becos’ you prefer to eat CHOW KUEH TEOW. Use BRAINS lah, wei!!!
3) Having a FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT doesn’t make Malaysia a worse off country. Many 1st WORLD COUNTRY citizens do have foreign bank accounts in some parts of the world. Does this mean their own country are worse off??? WONG, just because you happened to eat PIZZA in Italy doesn’t mean the PIZZA you eat here in Malaysia is worse off. Faham kah???
4) Your GRAMMAR is already WRONG for this question but anyway forget it (let’s hop to the main point). May I ask how do you evaluate RESPONSIBILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY??? Based purely on your own perception??? Does this means if your FATHER thinks you are STUPID, it means you are really STUPID??? Come on lah!!! Pakai OTAK sikit, ya???
Now, having all said….”PLEASE GO GET A BRAIN”. Thanks!!!
