“It is not enough if more police officers are to be send down to patrol the streets of JB. We want to see the criminals and rapist apprehended and punished for their crimes, or else all talks from the cabinet are just empty promises. When the public took the laws into their own hands the police should not blame us as we needs to protect ourselves and we will. The public will make the cabinet sorry for their ignorance.”

This could be just another whitewash.
The government has cotton on to the fact that the public is easily appeased. Just make some promises and everybody will think that it has changed for the better.
Some time ago, it was announced that even senior police officers will have to patrol the streets in tourist areas. What happened to that now? Has anyone seen such officers around anymore?
The simple fact is that even policemen are in short supply, what more senior ones?
I hope that Malaysians will use their common sense to decide on such matters.
Many moons ago, the government said that
it wanted to recruit SIXTY THOUSAND more policemen.
What happened? How many have they recruited? Or is that just another piece of propaganda?
Also, think about it. If it has to recruit so many new policemen, it means that the government must have been ignoring the staffing of the police for years, if not decades! Is it surprising that we are facing a security problem of epic proportions now?
What confidence have you, as a voter, in this BN government.

The enormous damage had already been done through the ineffective implementation, gross abused of the policies to accumulate wealth, widening gap between rich and poor, unfair policies creating unnecessary frustration, hurt and anger to people who felt cheated of a fair opportunity, creating unhealthy divisions and more.

but then again, its only lip service……..hishamuddin and khairy will never let that happen.

what they said exposes their rotten character , their rotten character exposes the rotten character of the party, the rotten character of the party exposes the rotten character of the government, after all the party and government condoned their behaviour by their absurb defence and silence.

do you think a rotten government could solve people’s problems?

in a way it’s we who put these two baboons in the parliament,should’nt we put them back to zoo?

If we let them go, it will definitely happen again. (Most probably it’s happening now).They must pay for their misdeeds.

It’s true there are many ‘big’ problems facing us now and there will be more three months down the road. But at the heart of all these problems is a government ill-prepared to solve them. To scrutinize their every move is the best we can do until the time our leader can act partially when it comes to errant MPs.

as it is now, our government is our biggest problem.

Burma and the Philippines.

Where are they now ? Why have they regressed into what they are today ? Simple – the people allowed themselves to regress. Could it happen to Bolehland ? You bet. In a one-person-one-vote system, the majority’s ambitions reflect the ambitions of the nation. 10 years from now, when the non-Malay population dwindles to below 20 pct, and when the dominant majority decides that it is OK to look inwards and that ambition is a dirty word, Bolehland will be left behind.

UMNO is able to survive by giving crumbs to the average Malay because the average Malay is contented with it. The average Malay doesn’t really care if thousands of APs are issued every year and the revenues go into the pockets of a few elite. The average Malay doesn’t care if MPs belittle women the way Jasin and Kinabatangan did recently. The average Malay doesn’t care if a councillor like Zakaria Mat Deros builds a mansion on state land. The average Malay doesn’t care if monopolies such as medicine labelling and liquor labelling are created for the benefit of a few rich Malays.

But the average Malay will treat the DAP like the most racist party in Bolehland for wanting to terminate the NEP.

“…kemungkinan besar pilihanraya pada 22 Ogos ini, namun terbaru seorang lagi sumber klpos.com memberitahu bahawa Kedutaan Amerika Syarikat melalui pegawai politiknya yakin pilihanraya umum ke 12 dijadualkan pada bulan November ini…..Menurut Azmin, mesyuarat Ahad lalu telah mengesahkan senarai 40 kawasan Parlimen di Semenanjung Malaysia yang diklasifikasikan sebagai “boleh menang” – yang akan ditandingi oleh PKR kali ini….”

Assuming they are properly and fully informed, as most Malays are very political, they should have the courage to do the right thing for the country and her ordinary people…..not the party or leader/s.

So we all go away and carry the big stick behind our backs. When they don’t have the two-thirds majority at the next GE, they won’t say “so what?”.

The recommendations are being implemented…

Alternatively: To ask the Prime Minister HOW the government is going to restore public confidence in the government’s ability to ensure low-crime Malaysia, WHEN and HOW such measures will be implemented; To ask WHAT the progress is for each and every of the 125 Royal Police Commission Report recommendations implementation, in particular IPCMC and WHEN will they be implemented.

Alternatively: To ask the Minister of Health when will the investigation be completed and revealed.

[quote]• To ask the Prime Minister on whether the government is willing to set up a Royal Commission to investigate the May 13 incident and declassify all official documents in order to reveal the truth as a way to promote racial understanding and enhance racial integration in conjunction with the 50th Merdeka Anniversary.[/quote]No, such Royal Commision is not necessary, the truth has always been out there…

I wrote the following in respond to your article…

…but somehow did not post it then. Maybe I didn’t want to jump the gun. Maybe I thought you know better. Maybe I felt that you just want to ask for the sake of asking…

I post it here now, maybe it could help.

[quote]• To ask the Prime Minister whether the Cabinet’s misjudgment and mishandling of sexism in Parliament on May 9, 2007 had caused great damage to the good name of Malaysia internationally and what lesson the Cabinet has learnt from it.[/quote]

Possible Answer: They have apologized and Parliament members have been advised to behave properly when in session…

Alternatively ask: WHAT are the measures that the Cabinet is going to take to prevent misjudgment and mishandling of sexism in Parliament, WHEN and HOW will they be implemented.

Democracy is about encouraging diversity of opinions. The more the better.

Godfather and I are not the only who feel that we should move on. Alvin is another.

The issue concerning the keris is another. It is so divisive that one asks if the DAP should keep revisiting the incident. Malay votes are needed to win the general elections – even though they may be protest votes.
