“We must stop the BULLDOZER BN before we all get bulldozed away!”

What about you darkhorse? Are you unemployed or unemployable?

I’m sorry to report the passing of Count Dracula. He got a stake driven through his heart and now rests in pieces.

Oh..welcome back Count. So the world is fair after all…even Count Dracula is afforded resurrection. But don’t know why it took 5 days and not 3. Anyway, Count, enjoy your re-incarnation, resurrecton or whatever!.

Now, did I say the world is fair? Hmmmm..may be not, otherwise that ec chairman would have taken measures to uphold ‘caretaker government’ concept or replied to YB Lim’s letter explaining the reasons for not doing so rather than asking his secretary to bulls**t his way around.

But here the questions are (1) whether it is true or not true, in law or reality, that once the suit is filed, the election has to be postponed (unless caretaker govt is conceded); and (2) what is the strategy behind forcing a delay in election – does it favour of the Opposition; does it imply that Opposition is not ready or what?

I believe it will be more beneficial for DAP to devote its full energies and financial resource for the general election. I will do my part by donating to the DAP election fund.

Perhaps at this point with the GE so near, the said amount has already been earmarked for posters etc. At other times it would not have been a problem. To use it up, would mean inability to pay the printers etc.

I don’t know what to say. Somehow I cannot bring myself to believe that DAP didn’t have RM50,000 to defend public interest.

I am posting on the same thing – almost the same words! But it’s awaiting moderation.

This is something that has on since many elections back – the continual use of government facilities by the incumbents. The limit of RM30K (now increased to RM100K) is what you report to the returning officer, but in reality I do not remember a single instance where accountability was ever reported on the use of gov’t helicopters, gov’t vehicles and rest-houses. Even the ceiling of RM100K is barely enough to cover for the cost of posters.

The cost of any election in Malaysia is now almost at par with what the Americans used. If AAB and Najib do not use above RM1.0m, they are not telling the truth. If they do not use gov’t facilities, it is also not true. On the other hand, how do we monitor and define what is permissible? As you mentioned earlier, the concept of “caretaker gov’t” has not been adopted.

I remember a few elections back in Sabah and Sarawak where incumbents covered their campaign trails within days, whereas we had to row our boats from village to village. They had the use of the gov’t helicopters; we looked with envy upwards each time the chopper sound was heard. What I am saying, YB Lim, this might not be the time to look at his issue, because I can say with certainty the incumbents would continue the abuses and misuse of public funds and resources.

(Note: There is nothing against anyone donating money to DAP or any political party, but please give only to DAP).

You can fight a vain battle but you can’t win against the incumbent in this country.

When you talk of misuse of government resources and funds by the BN, it is happening every day of the year, every day of their term todate and not just when they act as ‘caretaker government’.

So it is a lost cause, a vain effort. Focus on you coming election and see how far you can achieve.

A scene also took place on a BA (British Airways) flight between Johannesburg and London . A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. “Madam, what is the matter?” the hostess asked. “You obviously do not see it then?” She responded. “You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.” “Be calm please,” the hostess replied. “Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available.” The hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. “Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is one seat in the business class. All the same, we also have one seat in the first class. “Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: “It is unusual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting.” She then turned to the black guy, and said, “Therefore, sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class.” At the moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

Moral of the story = The Pilot is the Rakyat & will protect the minority.
