Malaysian Police turn tear gas, water cannons on protesters

While attending yesterday's rally, I have nothing but praise for the many participants of the historical event, and as a blind individual I really wish that I could have contributed more such as by marching to the Agong's palace where the memo was handed to the king's officials. Due to the amount of tear-gas that was fired into the crowd near the Sogo MRT station, I found it difficult to continue with the march. The heavy downpour also dampened the spirits of many of the demonstrators including myself, and to make things worse, the heavy handed tactics of the police was quite unnecessary. Once again, I wish to congratulate all Malaysians who took part in the march especially all those who managed to make it to the Agong's palace. All you courageous citizens of Malaysia have certainly created history, and it is my believe that the Barisan government has now more cause to worry as they are certainly aware of the discontentment that their subjects have towards them. So my dear friends, stand up for your rights, and come the forthcoming general elections. Remember to vote out this very oppressive, corrupt and discriminatory government for I strongly feel that we have been persecuted and side-lined long enough.

Malaysians hold huge rally for free elections

Today I had my first experience of having been attacked with teargas and believe you me, it was no fun. The burning sensation in my nostrils is something I will never forget for a long time. I get the impression that the heavy downpour was engineered by the ruling clique, either by conducting cloud-seeding, or by making use of the services of a bomoh. All in all, being at the rally was certainly an unpleasant experience, no thanks to the brutality of the police. Of course, the very inhuman Barisan government has to take full responsibility for what took place this afternoon. When the shouts rang out at the rally, I really felt proud for these very courageous Malaysians who made it a point to come out and show their contempt for this very tyrannical government. Although I did not make it to the palace, I wish to congratulate all those of you who did, for history will remember you for your bravery and great sacrifices.

Finally, I am indeed puzzled as to how Khairy Jamaludin can wield so much power just because he is the son-in-law of the prime minister. Furthermore, he is not even a member of parliament and yet he seems to be running the government together with all his cronies. May I remind the ruling administration that we, right thinking Malaysians are still a force to be reckoned with and will continue the struggle until we vote in a government that does not take its citizens for granted.

Allow rally for electoral reform

Glad to hear that human rights watch is aware of what is going on in Malaysia. I sincerely hope that the international media will be informed about tomorrow's gathering and will send their reporters to cover the event. We law-abiding citizens of Malaysia should not allow ourselves to be intimidated by this tyrannical government in spite of their many threats, but to go ahead with the march as planned.

Finally, Ong Ka Ting of the MCA, you have no business to speak on behalf of the Chinese community, as we do not need traitors such as Chua Soi Lek and yourself to represent us Chinese. Every right thinking Malaysian knows that UMNO is actually running the country and all other Barisan Nasional component parties have no powers whatsoever. All you greedy politicians are taking the opportunity to enrich yourselves at the expense of the Chinese community that you are supposed to serve. It is quite obvious that the MCA will be heavily
defeated during the forthcoming general elections as there is a lot of discontentment amongst Malaysians for the ruling clique which includes you bunch of cowards and hypocrites. For those of you who wish to know how I have been discriminated against by the MCA, please visit my blog at: http://alfredhosinger.blogspot.com

My dear friends, please do not forget to attend tomorrow's gathering as it is going to be history in the making, for it is our right to demand for a clean and fair election which the Barisan government would like very much to deprive us of.

10th November - Reminiscent of the old days

Excellent speech, my good friend. Anyway, I have decided to attend the rally long ago as I have been one of the victims of this cruel government for they have deprived me of a job and yet I have not been able to seek redress even after having written to numerous government officials. RPK, I look forward to making your acquaintance at the rally for I am certainly a big fan of your website, which only seeks to speak the truth and nothing but the truth. You have got the UMNO thugs running scared; hence their determination to close down Malaysia-Today at all costs. These people know that you have a big following and that their many crimes are being exposed by you and your diligent workers. Do keep up with the struggle my good friend, and allow me to direct your readers to my blog where I have posted all my comments on Malaysia-Today, more than 50 in all. My blog address is as follows:

Hope to meet as many Malaysia-Today readers at the rally including the boss himself i.e. RPK.Thanks

Police report against PM lodged

Why is Johari sticking his neck out for Mahathir? Does he have an axe to grind? In my opinion, I think that Johari is wasting his time and jeopardizing his position in UMNO, for it is my belief that both Mahathir and Badawi have both already buried the hatchet and have decided to share the spoils together with their family members including their many cronies. The UMNO general assembly is held every year to serve as a reminder to all Malaysians of other races not to question the rights of the malays and to extend the period of the new economic policy, for although if my memory serves me correct, it has already gone on for more than 30 years now. I wish to take to task the comments made by Chua Soi Lek of the MCA for defending Hishamudin's vile act of waving the keris year in and year out. This MCA official is most certainly a traitor to all Malaysians of Chinese descent and a disgrace to his race. One of the UMNO delegates going by the name of Ismail Ahmad even had the audacity of trying to chase Malaysians out of the country especially those who are aligned to the opposition parties. What right has he got to make such a statement, for we have just as much right as he has to be living in this country. All in all, I strongly believe that the annual UMNO general assembly is a recipe for disaster, but fortunately, most Malaysians of other races are peace loving by nature and would rather suffer in silence in spite of the apartheid policies practiced by the ruling clique. Let us all right thinking citizens of Malaysia come out in full force, come the 10th of November to participate in the march to the Agong's palace to demand for a clean and fair election, and remember folks, to cast your precious votes for the opposition during the forthcoming general elections, for a change of government is what we desperately need.

Umno Assembly opens as public disquiet mounts

UMNO has inherited the magic lamp from Aladdin. That's why they are guarding it so jealously for fear of losing their grip on power, and their so called rights and privileges at the expense of all the other citizens of Malaysia. To put it bluntly, apartheid is very much alive and well in Malaysia, whether you like to admit it or not. As usual that racist UMNO minister, Hishamudin has been waving his magic keris again and at the same time spewing his venom by threatening Malaysians of other races. I would compare the UMNO general assembly to a circus of horrors, as UMNO delegates always try to trample on the rights of non-bumiputra Malaysians. This is certainly a sad state of affairs and if all Malaysians are to be given equal treatment, then let us all rise up to effect change come Saturday the 10th of November at the appointed time and place and proudly march to the king's palace. My dear friends please come out in full force for we must send a clear message to the Barisan government that enough is enough and that we will certainly stand up to their despotic rule.

Finally, Ong Ka Ting, Samy Velu and Koh Tsu Koon, did you all not see Hishamudin brandishing his keris again, or are you 3 self-centred leaders just as blind as myself? The 3 major component parties of the Barisan Nasunal namely, the MCA, MIC and Gerakan have betrayed the trust of the people of which they are supposed to represent. Let us demonstrate to these self-serving politicians our displeasure by voting them out of office during the forth-coming general elections. To find out how I have been discriminated against by this very dictatorial government, please visit my blog at http://alfredhosinger.blogspot.com

You can all be rest assured that I will be at this historical gathering on Saturday the 10th of November, 3 p.m at the dataran merdeka. Please do your part by attending this very important occasion so that we can have a clean and fair election with the kind intervention of the agong.

Badruddin refuses to retract remark

So, Badruddin, one of the 3 clowns is at it again. From my observations, having heard a few parliamentary debates myself, I sense that the parliamentary speakers are rather biased towards the opposition. This is certainly a sad state of affairs. whenever insults are thrown at the opposition, the barisan MPs are only given a slap on the wrist, while the speakers of parliament would order the aggrieved party to sit down and at the same time, have their microphones switched off. May I therefore suggest to the members of the opposition to carry megaphones into parliament so that when the speaker switches-off the microphones of the opposition members of the house, then they should shout into their megaphones in order to be heard.

Speaking as a member of the disabled community, I wish to condemn in the strongest terms the uncultured behaviour of some of the very arrogant barisan MPs. It is no wonder that the government has decided not to telecast or broadcast parliamentary proceedings or more recently even the UMNO general assembly for they know fully well that it will incur the wrath of the public. Throwing insults at opposition MPs by Barisan MPs seems to be a great past time for these uncultured beings for they jolly well know that they are untouchable and that no action can and will be taken against them. If this trend is allowed to continue, then I fear that violence might just erupt one of these days for even restraint has its limits. Fortunately members of the opposition are able to control their emotions to a certain extent. Sometimes when I listen to parliamentary debates, I get the feeling that I am at a circus, what with all the shouting going on.

Finally, may I remind all right thinking citizens of Malaysia to vote out the Barisan Nasional government for it has overstayed its welcome. Let us give our undivided support to the opposition with the hope that apartheid and corruption will be things of the past. Please remember to come out in full force on November 10th at Dataran Merdeka, the time being 3pm, at a rally that is being organized by the elections watchdog to try and bring about a clean and fair election.

Face To Face - Marina Mahathir

I sent an email to Marina urging her to impress upon her father to right the many wrongs to his fellow citizens but alas, she chose to reject my email. The almighty may have given Mahathir a new lease of life so that he can have the opportunity of repenting his crimes towards society, make reparations to Malaysians wherever possible and probably even shed light on the now infamous Lingamgate saga. If Marina is really for justice, then why does she not use some of her family fortune to help the many people that her father has persecuted during his 22 years in power. I get the impression that both Mahathir and Badawi have now mended fences and may have even decided to share the spoils together. It is really ironical that whilst Mahathir was against homosexuality, Marina headed the pink triangle organization. How was that possible, I wonder.

Finally, Mahathir, if you are reading this blog, may I strongly urge you to take full advantage of the new lease of life that the almighty has granted you, by repenting of your past misdeeds and at the same time exposing all your corrupt ministers and their wrong-doings. Please also shed light on the Lingamgate saga if you are involved in this conspiracy for it has already gone on long enough and furthermore, the lives of some brave and innocent people might be ruined. As the saying goes, God has a purpose for everything, and I believe that your recovery is part of his plan.

Lingam Tape Panel

The demands made by the ACA to Anwar and the PKR is most disgraceful and deplorable. I strongly urge Anwar and his party to stand their ground and not give in to demands of the ACA to surrender the now infamous Lingam video tape. Instead of investigating the culprits, the ACA has decided to intimidate the whistle blowers and this is really uncalled for.

How much longer is the government going to take us Malaysians for fools? To show the ruling administration that enough is enough, let us all right thinking citizens of Malaysia come out in full force on the 10th of November to stand for our rights by supporting the elections watchdog to fight for a clean and fair election. I wish to conclude by asking the ruling administration as to how Malaysians will benefit after having spent about 100 million dollars on a space tourist when that amount of money could have been better spent to improve the lives of its citizens.

Malik Hussein And Independence of Judiciary

Mahathir the mastermind, Rahim Noor the boxing clown, Borhan the arresting officer together with his band of torturers should be made to cough out the hefty sum awarded by the high court to Malik. Did I hear some of you answer, correct, correct, correct? Personally, I strongly feel that public funds should not be used to pay out the compensation as quite a sizable amount of money is involved.

By the way, I wrote an email to Marina Mahathir, urging her to impress upon her father, when he has fully recovered, to right the many wrongs towards his fellow citizens, but to my disappointment, she chose not to entertain my email. It is my prediction that Malik will not live to see a cent of his compensation awarded by the high court, as I strongly believe that the ruling administration will certainly appeal the judgement. Furthermore, I think that this is just another election ploy by the Barisan Nasional government to garner more votes. However, if my prediction is incorrect and Malik gets his well deserved reward, then it would be nice if he could use part of the money to help the down-trodden and all those people who have been oppressed by this very despotic government.

His Hollowness The Imam Of Islam Hadhari

Thanks for exposing Badawi for what he is. as I myself have had a bad experience with him, I get the impression that he has no compassion for others, but only cares for his cronies and his family members. Does he think that Malaysians will fall into his scheme of things by giving him more time? Not on your life; we should boot all these plunderers out of office during the forthcoming general elections and show these crooks that we Malaysians are their masters and not the other way round. Hasn't Badawi heard of the saying, time and tide waits for no man?

PPP - We're promised 4 parliament, 12 state seats

Kayveas and all PPP members, may I remind you that times have changed. Please get real and do the inevitable i.e. to join the ranks of the opposition. You have all been shown the door, so what are you waiting for? I think that your days in Barisan Nasional are numbered, so if you don't make your exit from the ruling party now, you will certainly live to regret it. With unscrupulous UMNO politicians such as Ali Rustam and Nazri, I have no doubt whatsoever, that your party will not be allocated a single parliamentary or state seat, and to think otherwise is just an illusion. So heed my advice before it's too late.

ACA orders Anwar to hand over original video clip

I strongly urge Anwar and his party to stand their ground and not be intimidated by the ACA and the ruling administration. However, I read somewhere that the government is enlisting Hong Kong's ICAC to assist in the investigation of the Lingam tape saga. If this is true, then there might yet be a light at the end of the tunnel. I am quite sure that it is every right thinking Malaysian's wish to have this case brought to a just conclusion, and to have the culprits face the full force of the law.

It's King's Prerogative

Nazri the Nazi is trying to be an apple polisher and power broker. As a lawyer, he has brought shame upon himself with the number of blunders that he has made recently. Is he trying to intimidate the Agong, in order to please Badawi so that he can get another promotion? I think that in future, Nazri should check his facts first before giving his interpretations of the law. He is certainly a liability to the cabinet and to the public at large. Come to think of it, he should be charged for challenging the powers of the Agong and for being disrespectful.

People Of Ipoh Timur, You're Being Karned - 2nd comment

As usual, the elections commission is up to its dirty tricks again by doing the bidding of the Barisan nasional government. The ruling party knows that they are getting very unpopular with the people, and as such they are working hand in glove with the elections commission to rig the forthcoming general elections. My dear Malaysians, may I strongly urge you all to vote in the opposition, for if we do not act now, we will have to suffer the consequences later on, as the barisan government officials are slowly but surely plundering the resources of the country. Please vote wisely my dear friends, for once a mistake is made, there is no turning back.

People Of Ipoh Timur, You're Being Karned - 1st Comment

Chan Kong Choy as Minister of Transport should be relieved of his post with immediate effect to take responsibility for at least 2 major disasters that have taken place in the last few months, not forgetting a huge scandal which surfaced recently. Some months ago, a horrific bus crash took place near Taiping where at least 20 passengers lost their lives and many more were critically injured. What's more, the bus driver was high on drugs, and to top it all, his driving license had already expired. At the same time, several warrants of arrest were served on the bus driver concerned, but yet he was allowed to drive the ill fated bus. Unfortunately, the bus driver also succumbed to his injuries during the horrific accident. It was also reported that the bus company had even accumulated many summonses from the JPJ, but yet it was business as usual for the bus company thus causing the unnecessary loss of lives. Then more recently, a ferry that was not seaworthy and whose license had expired caught fire during its journey resulting in at least half a dozen fatalities and several more being injured. It was also discovered that the license of the ferry concerned had expired since December 2006. Reports were also abound that during the hari raya period, a Palestinian managed to hide in the wheel compartment of a Singapore bound plane parked at the KLIA but who was arrested when the plane landed in Singapore.

Finally, the ministry was also embroiled in a huge scandal known as the PKFZ fiasco where a company had to be bailed out by the government to the tune of almost 5 billion dollars. To avoid answering questions from the press as he was implicated in the matter, Chan Kong Choy took the easy way out by feigning illness and subsequently took leave to go to Australia supposedly for a medical checkup. It is quite normal for Barisan government ministers such as Chan Kong Choy to shirk their responsibilities and put the blame on their subordinates instead. As such, like all right thinking Malaysians, I strongly feel that this very irresponsible transport minister should be taken to task and that even legal action be taken against him for the many disasters and scandals that have taken place all this while.

However, we all know that this will just be wishful thinking, and before too long, everything will be forgotten. As such, my dear friends, let us wake up to reality and cast our precious votes for the opposition, for we need to vote in a government which will treat all its citizens equally, and where discrimination and corrupt practices will be things of the past.

The House That Zak Built

No wonder Zam has told the press that Badawi is not interested in hearing the truth, except from government officials. The charitable institutions should not have sent their inmates to attend Zakariah's dinner. No amount of good that he is trying to do now can save him from the punishment that he deserves in the hereafter. As stated in the article, Zakariah's palacial mansion sticks out like a sore thumb in a squatter area. Why has this crook not been punished for building such a huge mansion, the money which he would have got through dubious means, whilst other people who have committed lesser crimes have had harsh punishments meted out to them. Time and time again, the ruling administration has been testing our patience, and I think that the time has now come for us to say that enough is enough, so the only way to go is to vote in the opposition to show the Barisan government that we will no longer stand for their corrupt and evil ways.

By the way, who gave Ng Yen Yen the authority not to allow little dragon ladies from China to work as maids in Malaysia. Did she seek the views of all Malaysians before making her petition to the government with regards to this matter? Anyway, this is just a very small concession made by the government just to please the MCA. However, I wish to challenge the MCA or any other component party within the Barisan government to influence their political masters to
treat all Malaysian citizens equally and to consider all Malaysians as bumiputras regardless of race or creed. If the component parties within the ruling administration can achieve this, then my dear friends, by all means vote in the Barisan government in the forthcoming general elections again. However, I am absolutely sure that the MCA will not be able to change the status quo. So once again, my dear Malaysians, may I remind you to use your votes wisely by voting in the opposition for it's time that we voted in a clean, efficient and trustworthy government.

Flap Over MM's Remarks On Non-Malays

Lee Kuan Yew is more than qualified to put forth his views with regards to Malaysia. Granted, that his government is a little authoritarian, but at least, all Singaporeans are treated equally, and the needs of his citizens are all well taken care of. It is no exaggeration when I say that none of the Barisan politicians can match the intelligence of Lee Kuan Yew. May I suggest to the man with 2 Mohammads in his name to retire and stop making uncalled-for statements. He should just enjoy all his ill-gotten gains before his maker decides to call him to account for his many crimes towards mankind. Gerakan is as usual playing to the gallery again, with Chia Kwang Chye criticizing Lee Kuan Yew. Politicians like him should be kicked out of office.

By the way, Tee Keat, you have spoken well this time, although I wonder how your superiors would react to your outspoken views. Tell me, sir, does team A and team B still exist? Finally, Tee Keat, the doors to the opposition are still wide open to you, so when are you coming to join us for we certainly need intelligent and sincere people such as your good self. Please give this matter some consideration before it's too late.

Is It 200,000 or 20,000 - 2nd Comment

As usual, the MCA mouthpiece i.e. The Star, still insists that 200 thousand people attended Badawi's hari raya gathering. What an insult to our intelligence. I wish here to remind all Malaysians, that more Malaysian tourists will be blasted-off into space in the next few years as has been reported in the media. To avoid more hundred millions of dollars from being squandered by the Barisan government, let us all use our precious votes wisely by denying our votes for this very corrupt government, for as I have said many a time, voting in the opposition is the only way to go if we want to save our nation from these immoral officials and plunderers.

Space Blast-Off Deepens Our Social Rift

Mahathir started off this whole fiasco. There is no doubt that a Malay would be chosen to be the lucky space tourist. Furthermore, he is the offspring of well connected parents. Apart from protesting, what can we say or do, as the purse- strings are being pulled by this very unpopular Barisan government. To prevent another space tourist from being sent into space next year again, make sure that you deny your precious vote to the Barisan government so that public funds can be used wisely. At the end of the day, it is your decision whether you wish to have a good government or not. So remember to vote wisely my friends, for once a mistake is made, there is no turning back. Voting in the opposition is the only way to save the nation from more disasters and scandals.
