DPM and PM are both liars


by Richard Teo

How could god fearing leaders perpetuate a lie in order to further their agenda of remaining in
office?

For DPM, Najib to label Hindraf as a violent and extremist group is doing a great injustice to the marginalised miniority Malaysian indians. This is a blatant lie that honest, fair minded citizens cannot accept as the truth.

How could a peaceful group of Hindraf supporters who participated in a peaceful assembly just two weeks ago suddenly being transformed into a terrorist group is beyond the comprehension of Malaysians of all race and creed.

Quite obviously, Najib was merely parroting what the Attorney-General Gani Patil was arguing in the courts to deny bail for the 31 Hindraf supporters. (They were denied bail.) On the basis of a flimsy Police report without proper investigative measure he surmised that Hindraf was a terrorist group with contacts with the Tamil Tigers, LTTE.

How could any one classify Hindraf as a terrorist group when their only crime to date was to participate in a peaceful assembly to articulate their grievances? An assembly that was deemed illegal because of the govt’s decision not to issue them with a permit.

If at all it was accused as a terrorist organisation then it must be the world’s most harmless
group of terrorists because it had not fired a single bullet, it has not caused any violence, it has not professed the destruction of any instituition and yet beyond the imagination of fair minded people they were called an extremist terrorist organisation.

Perhaps their only folly or mistake was to insert the offensive term of ethnic cleansing in their memorandum of petition which they had purpotedly filed with the British Embassy.A more appropriate replacement of words in their petition would be marginalisation and discrimination of the non-malays in general and the Indians in particular.

For the PM to follow the DPM in lying is most unforgiveable, especially in full public view of the mainstream media.

At the IMT-CT SME conference and Expo 2007 the PM went on record to say,”Half of the cabinet is non-malays,non UMNO members and non-muslims”. If we refer to the Prime Minister Office web-site we will find that 69% or 22 out of the 32 cabinet Ministers are from UMNO, 23 out of 32 cabinet Ministers are Malays, 25 out of 32 ministers are bumiputra and 23 cabinet Ministers are muslims.

I do not wish to be too harsh on both of them because they are both religious people but would I be impolite to say that they are both liars?

    “Another big time liar is Zam the Minister of Misinformation.” Bigjoe

    That is part of his job description. You cannot blame him. He is not only the Minister of Mis-Information but more importantly also Minister of Dis-Information. You don’t expect him to admit it, do you??

    “Everything the malays led UMNO say or do (protest against Rice, bathe the keris in blood, stealing public funds etc etc) is always right or ok.”

    Don’t you know that ‘might’ is always ‘right’?

    If HINDRAF do has some link with LTTE, then some form of meetings must be held between the two parties. Hence, we will require these four blokes (PM, DPM, IGP and AG) to prove it by answering the following:

    1. If ever there was a meeting held between the leaders of HINDRAF and the LTTE, WHERE was it held?
    2. WHEN was the meeting held and the number of times meetings were held.
    3. WHAT was the actual purpose of the meetings if ever they were held at all?
    4. HOW was it held?
    5. WHO actually attended the meetings?

    Remember, you four guys, no spin. All we need are hard evidence. If you cannot, just SHUT UP!!!!

    Hindraf says it rightly:

    PETALING JAYA: Umno Youth regrets the statement by the Hindu Rights Action Force which described Umno as its enemy.
    http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/12/11/nation/19725643&sec=nation

    So what does Prof. Emeritikus Khoo Kay Peng say to this after having contributed to it:

    AN MCA leader has ticked off several university lecturers for bringing in their personal views during lectures on inter-racial relationship.
    http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/12/11/nation/19724160&sec=nation

    The whole BN(UMNO) is an enemy now. MCA, MIC (the main partners) have been supping with the UMNO devils.

    Hindraf ! Hindraf ! Hindraf !
    All to be taken to court…..?

    Of late, so much time blogging about this topic.
    What happened to Royal panel Inquiry ?
    What happened to PKFZ scandal ?
    What about implementation of recommendation from Royal Commission on improvement on police department ?

    BN government is arguing Indian has vote for preferred government.
    MIC is arguing Indian communities is support MIC and why this Hindraf member is making noice.

    What is the real situation? Is it the majority of Indian is supporting MIC or the minority?

    If the voters still drive away with one off election campaign benefit of promises and simple donation, how to change the situation?

    Probably Indian community can spread the actual news to all Malaysian at the estate more effectively without rely on mass media.

    One shall check those folk from rural area is satisfy with the government after educate them not to be fool by one off promises during election campaign.

    Both China n India are useless, when someone threatened in public, to bath their sharp metal weapons in blood of your kind, you two just keep quiet. Say at least something lah! Show lah, concern for humanity sake or whatever sake!
    People in China not called Chinese, or what, (useless even way back in Oct 1987 ,when someone oledi say so.), which partly contribute to 13 May 1998 in Indonesia. Had it say something now n then when this may happen, then it may not happen. even if happen, it will be on small scale.
    People in India not called Indian or what.

    There is another liar cum hypocrite here.The MP for Maran,Ismail Mutalib denied the severity of the security situation faced by all Malaysians.He unshamedly told MPs YB Fong Po Kuan and Chong Eng to leave Malaysia and find another safer place to live.This happened when the latter proposed to pass a motion on a cut of 10 ringgit on the salary of the Minister of Internal Security for the deteriorating security of the country.As expected,this fellow refused to admit the bad security problem faced by everyone due to his party’s denial syndrome.We can tell this idiot like what was told by the two DAP MPs,Malaysia is our country and it is our home and the only home.As the government of the state,you have the utmost responsiblity to maintain a safe environment for all citizens to live in.

    It’s so easy and convenient for the DPM to label Hindraf as terrorist. I think Hindraf should protect themselves by suing this DPM and the Malaysian govt. if they feelthay have been humilated. Otherwise, what the DPM said must be true.

    Another blog (M2day) suspects that it was Umno who wanted to take the advantage of this Hindraf march to retaliate an cause an chaos so big that Badawi has to step down from his Preiership and probably forced to handover to his DPM. Just like May 13.

    There is another aspect of lying that is more immediate and that is on FDI especially on services and intellectual property. If the PM, DPM can lie and don’t think much about it, so will the courts, AG and the police. Foreign investors would be vary of investing in anything that is not nailed down.

    In other words, the PM and DPM, by taking this route are single handedly killing off foreign investments in human capital. You can basically kiss off big foreign investments in research or human capital in any kind. I won’t be surprised if the likes of Intel, Microsoft are reviewing their idea of doing research in this country.

    How many people want to bet that 10 years from now we would be griping that Singapore and many other countries are light years ahead in bio tech, patent filing, etc…

    Be careful! Many Malays I met are not happy with the present happenings. Complained that everything had gone up and corruption is very rampant. Just look at Zakaria of Klang, boasting away. Corruption is no more done secretly. Things are not working for BN. It looks like UMNO may just create racial tension and this will get the Malays to unite. When desperate, anything goes. We must be careful not to fall into their trap. Now they’re stirring the hatred towards the Indians. Don’t we get dragged in! God save Malaysia!

That’s’ what our authority been doing, nothing except feeding and satisfying their undisclosed self-desire, bottomless greed thus suppressing the majorities with their undutiful, dishonorable, unreasonable law, their law; written, approved, and amendment able solely by them, hence demanding Malaysians reverence and value their gibberish regulations.

    “Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Monday said he would not sacrifice his sense of accountability to the greater public, especially in the face of police intelligence about planned fighting or other violent intents.

    “If the choice is between public safety and public freedom, I do not hesitate to say here that public safety will always win,” the prime minister said.

    “Malaysians must never, ever, take their peace for granted and they must continue to be responsible to each other,” he said at the Khazanah Global Lecture Series at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), here.

    He said responsibility, particularly to each other, as an integral value of the nation, was as important today as it was in 1957 or 1969.

    “If we are to evolve into a society that can peacefully live with media freedom, public debates or public show of expression, the value and the burden of responsibility must lie with the ordinary people, not just with those who manage the country,” he said.”

    http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v3/news_lite.php?id=301540

    I hope Malaysians can read between the lines here. I have a few questions about what Abdullah said in the news spin, firstly, what is the different of public safety from public freedom, are not the two the same thing in actual, if not closely connected, where you can’t have one without the other? And between the two how the hell public safety will always win over public freedom when we have lost our fundamental rights to feel safe even in our own home from rampant crimes in the country. When we don’t have public safety in the first place, how can anyone win and over public freedom? And since when public freedom has became the enemy of public safety?

    He said we shouldn’t take our peaceful nation for granted. Granted! And that’s why we took it the streets and vent out our anger and frustration.

    It is not peaceful when we have pedophiles crawling the country raping young girls and boys, ordinary citizens robbed, kidnapped and murdered in broad daylight, gangsters are calling the shots and the streets are filled with all kind of illicit drugs. And this is what Abdullah want us to ignore because this is his so called public safety, indirectly he is telling us rampant crimes and corruption is our values and we must condone it, we are the kingdom of social ills. And there lies the great responsibilities of the oridnary citizens, we must sacrifices our public freedom in order for him to continue as Prime Minister and his vision of peaceful country, for him, his family and his cronies.

    I wonder who was his speech writer? Obviously this grandmaster of duplicity does not know what he was talking about but mere reading the speech prepared for him!

    I don’t expect him to understand the meaning of words used in his speech – e.g. “accountability”,
    “responsibility” and “judicious” to name a few.
    Malaysians know too well he is not known to have any of the above qualities.

    History will remember him as the worse Prime Minister this country ever has, incompetent, directionless and zero leadership qualities!

    Another lie heavily criticised by Raja Petra: Khir Toyo claimed that malicious smses say HINDRAF is planning to organise a gathering in Kampong Baru and that Hindraf should not provoke the Malays in Kg Baru, which was where many Malays struggled for the country’s independence and where they protected themselves during the May 13 incident in 1969.

    http://www.malaysia-today.net/nuc2006/barred.php?itemid=968

    It would appear, UMNO was capitalizing on the Hindraf issue to confuse the Malays into supporting them.

    That makes UMNO a terrorist organisation according to your definition.

    But HINDRAF cannot be a terrorist organisation.
    1)They were armed only with the slippers and worn-out shoes they were wearing which fell off by the roadsides as they were chased and brutalised by the police.
    2) Hindraf supporters were armed with pictures of Mahatma Gandhi, the symbol of non-violence world-wide as they waved their bare hands and cheered.
    3) Hindraf supporters were corralled and made to squat and knelt at diffferent places. These are not the postures and poses of terrorists!

    “Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi proclaim today that he does not intend to be a one-term leader, and his policies, including the campaign against corruption, are long-term plans.”

    Long term plans begin with short-term programmes. Abdullah has shown by his elusive and perennial fudging stances on corruption that he is the nation’s No. 1 LIAR!

    Terrorists don’t seek a police permit. Hindraf sought a police permit and was denied their basic human right to freedom of expression!

    The crux of the Rally was to draw attention to their plight as a marginalised race. Is telling the world you’ve been ignored and marginalised terrorism?

  26. #26 by Bigjoe on Tuesday, 11 December 2007 - 2:07 pm

    Why do we continue talking about UMNO’s hypocrisy? We know it well by now. To me, the issue that should be discussed is what is really going on that will determine what the outcome will be/could be in the future.

    Its obvious Badawi is just trying to ensure he gets as many Malay votes as he can get in the next GE. The issue is does he know the cost for what he is doing? I say far from it.

    Lets take for example the Khazanah Lecture where he said his fight against corruption is “preventive” rather than “curative”. How does he explain the appointment of Zaki in this regard. A man so close to UMNO cannot be anything but corrupted in his judgement. How does he explain the AG “attempted murder” charge that sets a bad precedent that can be abused by every corrupt judge out there?

    Badawi is talking nonsense. Why? Is he just intellectually weak or hoodwinked, or worst a liar as Richard Teo says? Which is the real Badawi?

  27. #27 by budak on Tuesday, 11 December 2007 - 2:08 pm

    “I do not wish to be too harsh on both of them because they are both religious people but would I be impolite to say that they are both liars?”

    Some people say George Bush wears his religion on his sleeve. If, for instance, one say PM and DPM wear their religion on their sleeves, one would mean they are hypocrites and are ‘dressed in the garbs of religiosity’ for the sake of political expedience, to pull the wool over the people’s eyes; to win votes. Let the people judge for themselves.

    Remember:

    God-fearing people don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal, don’t murder, don’t fornicate or ‘adulterate’ (I mean ‘adultery’). Also, God-fearing people believe all men are created equal; ‘animals’ too. So the ‘pigs’ cannot lord it over the ‘horses’ as in ‘Animal Farm’.

    1. Hindraf and police gangsters

    2. Hindraf at Bukit Aman

    3. Hindraf at High Court and City Hall

    4. Hindraf at Royal Selangor Palace

    Currently our PM worried that recent occurrences may lead to unpleasant and violent activities harming our entire nation which, as a whole, Malaysian, agreeable it’s his accountability to manage and suppress such occurrences.

    We sincerely understand their valuable concerns, lets’ compromise and be clear to avoid further misunderstanding due our projected division. Guys, why not stand together as a whole, a truthful communion of all ethnic races in this country and show to our dear authority, and the world that we’re alongside them, challenging the ill culture, the division, the separation, instead yearning and desiring for one true united country conceiving everyone and anyone as one family disregarding gender, race, and religion. No absolute, no superiority, no supreme.

    To all opposition parties, its time to share this burden of truth, to strife this treasure of freedom, for the beauty of tomorrow, and for the appreciation of generation to come, our voices and our uphill struggles will gesture that this generation, this century mark another great revelation of humankinds conceiving truthful reverence toward Life devoid of bowing to authority, and fleeing from fear.

    In Malaysia….

    “In this age of relative affluence and stability, we sometimes forget that there are many groups within the country — each with their own set of demands, each with their own set of sensitivities.

    “These differences are very real, yet we do not descend into sheer unmitigated chaos. Why? Because I think there are enough of us who do not forget, who know and remember our complexities,” said Abdullah.

    “Those who do not forget understand that our situation demands balance, conscientiousness, and a sense of accountability to the whole (society) rather than to a few.

    “For me, this characterises a true Malaysian. A true Malaysian understands very well the impact of careless words and actions. A true Malaysian is acutely aware of who will be provoked into retaliation and who will actually suffer the consequences.

    “Because of this, a true Malaysian will try to be judicious in word and deed, even when striving for change,” he said.

    Fairness, responsibility and self-belief were the three values that had dominated Malaysia for 50 years as a nation and these would continue to shape the nation in the next 50 years, said Abdullah from his observation being in the public service for over four decades.

    After reading this, who do you think is lying?

    Why should it be easier for the people to believe that an issue is a lie if this Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz claim it is a lie? If she claims that it’s a lie, does that mean that it’s a lie?

    There’s no argument in how she said that could prove her point that it’s a lie.

    I believe that she should at least investigate the truthfulness of the contents of the poem before making such claims that it’s an absolute lie. Saying that it’s a lie just shows to me that she’s denying it without making any consideration.

    However, there are documentary shows that prove the poet true, I’ve seen it in YouTube (cannot remember the link, sorry).

    Who’s your friend and who’s your foe
    Who’s your Judas you don’t know
    Night of the long knives
    Night of the long knives
    Night of the long knives
    Night of the long long knife

    Where’s that saviour
    Where’s that light
    When your prayin’ for your life
    Who’s that fightin’ back to back
    Who’s defending who’s attack
    Night of the long knives
    Night of the long knives
    Night of the long knives
    Night of the long
    Long knife

    Stab him in the back

    It’s the night of the long knives
    Night of the long knives
    Night of the long knives
    It’s the night of the long long knife

    It’s the night of the
    Night of the
    Night of the long long knife

    “How could a peaceful group of Hindraf supporters who participated in a peaceful assembly just two weeks ago suddenly being transformed into a terrorist group is beyond the comprehension of Malaysians of all race and creed.”

    Looks like Richard Teo is a liar as well. How you can call that peaceful when there were cops hurt by some demonstrators? Pot calling kettle black.

    I have checked the PM web site list myself and the truth is ,out of the 32 ministers in-charge of the country’s respective department , about 23 to 24 of the ministers carry a Malay name , and the balance 8 position is all held by Chinese except Samy Vellu.
    I have also seen the PM with his speech in the news saying that they have not mistreat any non-Malay in Malaysia and half of the cabinet Ministers are Non-malay.
    From this truth as it is , how can the PM expect any Malaysian to believe what he has to say anymore in future as he can lie about a truth just to cover up about all the unfairness they are doing in Malaysia to date.
    To achieve an advance country status , I feel all people that are born in Malaysia should be treated as bumi. Special rights given to just Malay or bumi they name themselve should be abolished.
    As these rights are helping just one race, they are not helping all the poors in Malaysia like Chinese and Indians. Even rich Malay ejoyed the special rights as it is race based.

    lying about there are no unfairness in race treatment and special rights are not given to just one race would not help cover the truth.
    The truth will always prevails.
    As a non-Malay borned in Malaysia , I feel very disapointed with the Government treating the Chinese and Indians as non-bumis.
    I can accept it that my grandmother who came from China as a Non-bumi, but as I am borned in Malaysia , why are we not bumis?.

    Richard Teo is only exercising his free speech right! Apparently he has decided to join the long line of people who are prepared to lie.

    “If we are to evolve into a society that can peacefully live with media freedom, public debates or public show of expression, the value and the burden of responsibility must lie with the ordinary people, not just with those who manage the country,” Abdullah Badawi says.

    I’m rather curious as to his preference for the use of the term “public safety” when he should be using the language of the Internal Security Act which is “threat to internal security”.

    Does he not have an adviser?

    “If the choice is between public safety and public freedom, I do not hesitate to say here that public safety will always win,” Abdullah Badawi said in Kuala Lumpur on Monday.”

    Public safety? Not internal security?
