		<description>What relevance is it their ulterior motive for delaying the RCI is? The fact of the matter is the &#039;independent&#039; panel cannot do the required job. 2,000 learned lawyers know better than anyone else what is needed. Anyone with the arrogance to believe they are better and smarter than our entire fraternities of lawyers is itself unfit to make the decision.

Its quite clear its a failure of leadership and not just symptomatic. Its systematic and inherent. Its quite clear our PM has little real political courage and ideas about systematic demands. Its why his grand plans are largely publicity and not much that is good comes out from his ideas but a reliance on systems and resources already put in placed long time ago. Which in implies no real drastic change of any kind or real changes that the masses can benefit anytime soon. 

He is proving his original critics right about him which means that his son-in-law ambition to be the next PM is not all that outlandish. It would be disastrous entrenching the elected Sultanate system even further.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Nixon should had followed Dollah&#039;s style of investigating the whistle-blowers, and not the scandal. The two reporters from the Washington Post, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, should had been ordered to reveal the real identity their mysterious informant, Deep Throat or risk being fined and jailed.  The Senate should never be allowed to establish a Committee to investigate the Watergate scandal. Instead, a 3-man panel set up by Nixon should be manipulated to clear him of any wrong doing.&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>There are more to what we know today.
The entire network of the national scam have been taken too much pressure to dressup for parade along.
All these #%&amp;*$$gates are merely a few that wasn&#039;t properly tighthen up during the dressup process as we all know human do make mistakes.
As for NA, this guy have given up his roots and living values for the greed in being with the ELITE group. His desire to gain power and wealth have virtually taken over his personal life and that he  have transformed into the &#039;working, running and talking tools&#039; for the ELITE group. He knew that he have no choice otherwise someone else will taken up his seat.
As a claimed Malay with the right practices in faith, this guy is a sore loser after all.
What he failed to understand here may cause the entire Malay race to suffer in future as no unity can be bonded among them.
Most of them are living in a short term dream world that doesn&#039;t exist.
We can&#039;t do much as the best government for SEA have done what matters most to gained control of this country.
Enjoy our journey here as part of the written script of the movie.
Don&#039;t worry as things will soon be over before we all knew it&#039;s gone.</description>

		<description>Just read that ACA ( acronym NOT for &quot;aku cuma acah&quot;) or BPR (NOT for &quot;badan penyokong rasuah&quot;) cannot proceed with the investigation because the tape is not original.

Hello kawan, zaman pakai filem dah overlah... Now all digital. Like that means none of my pictures can win competiton because they immediately transferred to hard drive.

Anyway, why during Namewee video clip they didn&#039;t ask for the orginal video?

How about nurin&#039;s case? Did FBI said we only would enhance the original? 

And did the police started to act only after receiving the original pictures of the flag burners?

A country with corrupt judicaiary is as good as a country heading to anarchy. Please put a stop to it. It is our children the one will be affected.</description>

Can I take what you say to mean that the Lim Guan Eng case was also fixed? Can it be fixed when DAP chairman Karpal Singh was defence counsel and watching them. Remember, Karpal was not in a wheelchair then.
_____________________________________________________
I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have hard evidence to show that Lim Guan Eng case was fixed. Only a RCI can provide the evidence. I believe that LGE case itself was evidence of selective prosecution. I agree with Amnesty International that LGE was a prisoner of conscience. WhatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s the difference whether Karpal Singh or a QC  was the defence counsel? Are you so naÃƒÂ¯ve to believe that a case can not be fixed if you have a good defence councel? In the court of Boleh Hands everything is possible DonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t forget  Karpal Singh was also the defence counsel for Anwar. What about Wee Choo Keong case?.</description>

		<description>OK guys, time for Lingam jokes. Here goes one.

A biker walks into a yuppie bar and shouts, Ã¢â‚¬Å“All lawyers are assholes!Ã¢â‚¬Â He looks around, obviously hoping for a challenge.

Finally a guy comes up to him, taps him on the shoulder, and says, Ã¢â‚¬Å“Take that back.Ã¢â‚¬Â

The biker says, Ã¢â‚¬Å“Why? Are you a lawyer?Ã¢â‚¬Â
Ã¢â‚¬Å“No, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m an asshole.Ã¢â‚¬Â</description>

A RCI is a nightmare to Lingam, Fairuz and many others in the Palace of Justice who have been connected to the fixing of justice.They know very well that a RCI will reveal the truth.These people are afraid of the truth. Just like thiefs are afraid of light, they love to operate in darkness.

		<description>something different, out of topic, but from the mouth of Lee Kuan Yew MM

MM: SÃ¢â‚¬â„¢pore Ã¢â‚¬ËœhappyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ to go back to MÃ¢â‚¬â„¢sia if ...

SOME 10 years after he publicly broached the idea of a Singapore-Malaysia reunion Ã¢â‚¬â€ to raised eyebrows  all around Ã¢â‚¬â€ Minister mentor Lee Kuan Yew has spoken about the topic once again.
In a recent interview with American journalist Tom Plate, Mr Lee said Singapore would be Ã¢â‚¬Å“happyÃ¢â‚¬Â to go back to Malaysia should the latter  practise meritocracy.

Yesterday, transcripts  of the wide-ranging interview Ã¢â‚¬â€ conducted last month in Mr LeeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s office Ã¢â‚¬â€ were made available online by UCLA Asia Institute.
When Mr Plate asked Mr Lee who he thought would Ã¢â‚¬Å“come afterÃ¢â‚¬Â Singapore, the Minister Mentor said: Ã¢â‚¬Å“We are a standing indictment
of all the things that they (Malaysia) can be doing differently Ã¢â‚¬Â¦

Ã¢â‚¬Å“If they would just educate the Chinese and Indians, use them and treat them as their citizens, they can equal us and even do better
than us and we would be happy to rejoin them.Ã¢â‚¬Â 

The last time Mr Lee floated the idea in 1996, it caused ripples on both sides of the Causeway, with then- Malaysian Prime Minister
Mahathir Mohamad replying that he did not think Ã¢â‚¬Å“it is time yetÃ¢â‚¬Â.
While much has changed since then, scepticism towards
a reunion remains.
Said Dr Ooi Kee Beng, an Institute of South-east Asian Studies (Iseas) fellow: 
Ã¢â‚¬Å“The chances of a re-merger in 1996 and in 2007 are the
same Ã¢â‚¬â€ Zero.Ã¢â‚¬Â
While bilateral economic links would continue to increase, Malaysia is far from ditching its decades-old bumiputera policy, Ã¢â‚¬Å“where racebased affirmative action Ã¢â‚¬Â¦ has disqualified efficacy as
the criterion for policy correctnessÃ¢â‚¬Â, Dr Ooi added.
In Parliament, Opposition leader Chiam See Tong
is often a lone, but persistent, voice on the issue of an
economic union with Malaysia, espousing the benefits of a common market.
Mr Chiam told TODAY: Ã¢â‚¬Å“A political union is out of the question. The Malaysians will never agree.Ã¢â‚¬Â
Dr Ooi added: Ã¢â‚¬Å“The very idea of a re-merger on SingaporeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s
terms is appalling to most Malays (in Malaysia) and any move in that direction would be political suicide for a Malaysian politician to take.Ã¢â‚¬Â

rejoining Malaysia. Said Dr Chong: Ã¢â‚¬Å“If you look at historic port cities, they all enjoy their golden eras and then decline. For Singapore to flourish in perpetuity would mean defying history.Ã¢â‚¬Â
Already, Singapore is facing a fight to keep the very talent it
had successfully attracted. 

Mr Lee acknowledged in the interview that the Chinese students
on Singapore Government scholarships were using the Republic
as a stepping-stone. Said Mr Lee: Ã¢â‚¬Å“They come in here, they get an English education Ã¢â‚¬Â¦ and theyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re off to America.
The Indians, strangely enough, more of them stay here in Singapore
because they want to go home to visit their families.Ã¢â‚¬Â
Mr Lee added: Ã¢â‚¬Å“We are net gainers for how long? I think in the
case of China, maybe another 20,30 years Ã¢â‚¬Â¦ India, maybe longer
Ã¢â‚¬â€œ 50, 60 years before their infrastructure catches up. Anyway, this
is not my worry anymore!Ã¢â‚¬Â

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>something different, out of topic, but from the mouth of Lee Kuan Yew MM</p>
<p>MM: SÃ¢â‚¬â„¢pore Ã¢â‚¬ËœhappyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ to go back to MÃ¢â‚¬â„¢sia if &#8230;</p>
<p>SOME 10 years after he publicly broached the idea of a Singapore-Malaysia reunion Ã¢â‚¬â€ to raised eyebrows  all around Ã¢â‚¬â€ Minister mentor Lee Kuan Yew has spoken about the topic once again.<br />
In a recent interview with American journalist Tom Plate, Mr Lee said Singapore would be Ã¢â‚¬Å“happyÃ¢â‚¬Â to go back to Malaysia should the latter  practise meritocracy.</p>
<p>Yesterday, transcripts  of the wide-ranging interview Ã¢â‚¬â€ conducted last month in Mr LeeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s office Ã¢â‚¬â€ were made available online by UCLA Asia Institute.<br />
When Mr Plate asked Mr Lee who he thought would Ã¢â‚¬Å“come afterÃ¢â‚¬Â Singapore, the Minister Mentor said: Ã¢â‚¬Å“We are a standing indictment<br />
of all the things that they (Malaysia) can be doing differently Ã¢â‚¬Â¦</p>
<p>Ã¢â‚¬Å“If they would just educate the Chinese and Indians, use them and treat them as their citizens, they can equal us and even do better<br />
than us and we would be happy to rejoin them.Ã¢â‚¬Â </p>
<p>The last time Mr Lee floated the idea in 1996, it caused ripples on both sides of the Causeway, with then- Malaysian Prime Minister<br />
Mahathir Mohamad replying that he did not think Ã¢â‚¬Å“it is time yetÃ¢â‚¬Â.<br />
While much has changed since then, scepticism towards<br />
a reunion remains.<br />
Said Dr Ooi Kee Beng, an Institute of South-east Asian Studies (Iseas) fellow:<br />
Ã¢â‚¬Å“The chances of a re-merger in 1996 and in 2007 are the<br />
same Ã¢â‚¬â€ Zero.Ã¢â‚¬Â<br />
While bilateral economic links would continue to increase, Malaysia is far from ditching its decades-old bumiputera policy, Ã¢â‚¬Å“where racebased affirmative action Ã¢â‚¬Â¦ has disqualified efficacy as<br />
the criterion for policy correctnessÃ¢â‚¬Â, Dr Ooi added.<br />
In Parliament, Opposition leader Chiam See Tong<br />
is often a lone, but persistent, voice on the issue of an<br />
economic union with Malaysia, espousing the benefits of a common market.<br />
Mr Chiam told TODAY: Ã¢â‚¬Å“A political union is out of the question. The Malaysians will never agree.Ã¢â‚¬Â<br />
Dr Ooi added: Ã¢â‚¬Å“The very idea of a re-merger on SingaporeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s<br />
terms is appalling to most Malays (in Malaysia) and any move in that direction would be political suicide for a Malaysian politician to take.Ã¢â‚¬Â </p>

		<description>This Lingam chap, does he have a lingam? Jantan ke?

Whether he has a lingam or whether he is jantan, so many people are working to cover up the matter. My, he must be a powderful lingam without a lingam.</description>

		<description>Thus far only Nazri is seen mouthing his flip-flop statements in the media. There is none other member of BN saying words of wisdom in this scandal involving the top judiciary personnel in this country. What a shame!</description>

		<description>The govt is sure pussy footing around. Why spend time on the messenger. Look at the message... Look at all the names mentioned ...did Ahmad Fairuz not overtake every one withing a period of 9 months to become CJ...what is his qualifications ... 

Look at where it landed Justice Syed Idid  for speaking the truth ...nobody was interested in his 112 points of corruption...AG clears the judiciary of any corruption...&amp; he forced to resign. Unfortunately nobody went to his defence..he tried but failed..the corrupt went on with their lives..Look at the cases decided in favour of Vincent and who defended VK Lingam. 

Look at the police officers who are being charged in court for tampering with witness statements..weren&#039;t they the whistle blowers... what changed..The govt does not want the truth to be revealed. So Badawi weren&#039;t the police officers working with you in your quest towards a corrupt free Malaysia. As a start they were trying to expose the corrupt in PDRM. 

Oh! Pa Lah we are not going to be swayed with you sugar coated tales...&#039;Work with me not Work for me&#039;..... You are so transparent....yes you have paid to get a man to space but is there anything in the 6&quot; of space between your ears. Do you have any faith in justice...You know the country has gone to the dogs..Your little Napoleans who you referred to are all out to play and are showing you who is the boss..Ops! if you taught it was you think again...</description>

		<description>YB,

You&#039;re playing Nazri&#039;s game! It is not unlike a game of chess.

It is clear to all right-thinking Malaysians of whatever political affiliations that this man has no integrity. Zilch! Not even to his supporters. 

Anwar supplied the chess board, Lingam the pieces and you have chosen the opening for the game. But Nazri has control of the middle game and the end game. His intention is to force a stalemate - the most he could hope for. He survives the round and continues to ready himself for the next round!

UMNO is giving an exhibition chess - simultaneous games are being played. The other game is being fought in the high court.

Any novice in the game of chess could tell how both games will end.</description>

		<description>&quot;Just set up the Royal Commission of Inquiry to restore a world-class judiciary...&quot; Kit

Kit, gimmee a break! As a Malaysian who lives abroad, I find reading the words &#039;first class&#039; and &#039;Malaysian judiciary or judicial system&#039; in the same sentence laughable.

Could we have a judiciary that is independent before striving for anything like &#039;world class&#039;? Could we have a police force that functions like a police force before we could strive for class? Could we have the return to the rule of law before we could think about producing lawyers who are able to compete with the best and brightest?

Could we have our sanity returned to us? This is insane!!</description>

		<description>Their inaction speaks volumes.  It means that the tape is true and that they have no other way of being seen to do something.  So they divert attention to other matters such as the tape&#039;s authenticity and other matters.  Diversion, digression, delaying tactics all dirty D words so that the rakyat forget.  And trust me, the rakyat will forget and vote BN back into power yet again!</description>
