What You Think About This Man?

Arif Shah vs Anwar Ibrahim

Arif Shah, the assemblyperson of Seberang Jaya is now new hope for BN to face the opposition icon, Anwar Ibrahim. Former candidate Firdaus denied another opportunity after 2 times competed against Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Ismail but failed. Ezam who promised that would give his best to war against Anwar also not given the challenge.

Now the question is Arif as BN candidate able to destroy Anwar’s dream to step into the parliament after a decade of his absence? Is he qualified enough to face the opposition stalwart? Tun Dr Mahathir even stated that no one can beat Anwar. Anyway I'm taking this opportunity to wish good luck for the candidates that contesting in the by-election. Hope it never turned to a "buy-election" by our "clean" politicians!

His life full of political enemy, some of them trying to pull him down from his position and some of them accused him with baseless allegation. Challenges are common in is daily life. In his lifetime, he was imprisoned under the Internal Security Act in 1974. Again he was jailed in 1998 to the charge of corruption and sodomy. Hope everything will change after his 61st birthday. May god bless him!

Another Debate: 20 August

FORMER AND CURRENT CM

Its confirm, the open debate between acting Gerakan president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng. Another debate organised by news portal Agenda Daily. It will be held on Aug 20 in Shah Alam. I’m not sure about the venue of the debate.

They had their first discourse 20 years ago at the Penang Town Hall when both were Youth leaders of Gerakan and DAP respectively. This will be the second meeting between Koh and Lim in a debate. Both sides have agreed on the debate location, debate language and to talk about Penang state related issues. This debate based on the US presidential debate format and be moderated by Datuk Johan Jaafar.

The news portal had earlier set up a debate between Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on the fuel price hike and its socio-economic implications. The debate, also moderated by Datuk Johan Jaafar, was held last month at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka here and was aired by several TV stations. Hope the TV stations will come forward again to air this debate to fulfill millions of Malaysian’s wish to watch it life.

MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!

"FLY THE FLAG" campaign! With only around three weeks to celebrate our 51st national day, I would like to urge all my bloggers friends to display our national flag in their blog. This campaign is to show that we love our nation very much thus we have rights to voice our problem and dissatisfaction on it. By fly the flag upside down, it won’t change our current situation. Show your patriotism by supporting “FLY THE FLAG” campaign!

I LOVE MALAYSIA!

Dont Fly The Flag Upside Down!!!!

What’s going on? I can’t understand why some bloggers start and support this kind of campaign. It’s disrespectful and an insult to all Malaysian. Kickdefella started this campaign, and then joined in by zorro followed by people’s parliament. 3 of them are famous bloggers, without thinking much their loyal readers just follow the bloggers acts by flying the flag upside down. Do we need to do this to show dissatisfaction against the government? We are not comfortable with the government but not our beloved nation! I don’t know how much of Malaysian joined this stupid campaign? Can I call them “moronic Malaysian”?

It’s doesn’t mean that I’m satisfied with all the system and condition of the nation, but just disagree with such acts. Yes, I’m very disappointed at what had been going on in our country. The judiciary system, corruption, lack of freedom of speeches and expression, double standards , racial politics and so on but I still love Malaysia very much.

Fly like this-

NOT LIKE THIS!-

MRR2: Don't Worry Malaysian, They Will Repair For You!

NO WORRIES MALAYSIAN, THEY WILL REPAIR FOR YOU (IMMEDIATELY)!

This is the third time in eight years! As long as no one dies from the cracks, there will be no proper reconstruction on MRR2. The MRR2 in the Kepong has reared its ugly head again. Cracks have appeared one of the pillars. This stretch of the flyover starts from the nearby Taman Daya all the way to Taman Bukit Maluri. It cuts down waiting time at a number of traffic lights which are below the flyover. Cracks have appeared and the government has spent approximately RM70 million for such repairs. This new crack worries Malaysian as we are facing a 27-year high inflation economic crisis. The repair may reach tenths of million, so who to blame?

THE CONGESTION AT KEPONG FLYOVER SLIP ROADS WHEN THE FLYOVER IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC

Closures of the Kepong Flyover:

First closure

Recently, residents of the neighborhood of Kepong expressed their fear about the safety on Kepong Flyover which was reported to be faulty as 31 of 33 pillars supporting the flyover were reported to have obvious cracks. At some pillars and tiers, there were more than 7000 cracks detected. Public concern about the safety issues at Kepong Flyover was due to the risks faced by at least 4,300 motorists using the flyover at a time. Investigations were carried out by the government to investigate the matter. What's worse, the contractor who built the Package 11 of the highway (at Kepong neighborhood), Bumi Hiway Sdn. Bhd. was reported to have poor construction records in Malaysia. As a result, Kepong Flyover was closed to traffic and then reopened with only 4 out of 6 lanes. On August 10, 2004, the Works Minister, Dato' Seri S Samy Vellu, reminded the public that the cracks were not due to design flaw and "nobody can simply open their mouth and suggest it is design flaw" (Bernama 10 August 2004). However, findings from Halcrow Consultants Ltd suggested design deficiencies and the improper anchoring of the column rebar to the crossbeams were responsible for cracks and were finally accepted by the ministry (Source: New Straits Times, 1 October 2004).

Second closure

On 4 February 2006, the Kepong Flyover was closed to traffic from 10:30 am in the morning after serious damages on the flyover was confirmed. Many complaints arrived about the damages on MRR2. Traffic jam also has rose due to the uncompletion of the MRR2. On 8 December 2006, the Kepong Flyover was reopened to all traffic.

Third closure

On 3 August 2008, Kepong flyover was closed to all traffic after cracks appeared on a pillar 28, MRR2 cracks photos. This is the third time the 1.7-km MRR2 Kepong flyover has been closed because of cracks.

And be prepared for the next! Who knows?

Nomination: Aug 16, Election: Aug 26

The election commission announced Permatang Pauh by-election held on Aug 26 (Tuesday) while the nomination day would be on Aug 16 (Saturday). This undoubtedly will become a great contest election in the Malaysia’s politics history. The moment will soon change the politics agenda of our country once again, more like a new revolution in the political agendas in our country. Permatang Pauh constituency has 58,450 registered voters. Racial breakdown with 69.4% Malay, 24.5% Chinese, 6.0% Indians and 0.1% others will vote together to choose their best candidate. The seat has been resigned by Datul Seri Wan Azizah Ismail to give her husband opportunity to enter the parliament after 10 years. Anwar confirmed that he will be contesting in the seat and about his rival, BN not yet decide the candidate to face the PKR leader.

Penang Chief Minister defined that the election will be a “mini tsunami” after the “huge tsunami” that happened in March 8 2008 which resulted the won of 5 states and denial of 2/3 BN’s majotity in parliament by Pakatan Rakyat. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Najib Tun Razak stated that Permatang pauh is extremely hard for BN, but still they are confident that will be giving a tough fight to Anwar Ibrahim. Hope clean tactics used by the party politics that contesting in the election in order to respect people's rights to vote and protect the democracy system in Malaysia.
