Papi chai @ come2papa says: “…feeling lucky and grateful for having been given the opportunity denied to many others. They are a voice of moderation. This one is not!”
You see, you can’t see your own wickedness and corrupted mind. If the government provides a scholarship, the money comes from the people not that the government, get it, moron? I am showing my gratefulness to the people now by supporting a change which will bring better governance to this nation. For you if a corrupted person has done you a favour, you shall be eternally grateful to that person. This is immoral and unethical, but of course I can’t expect a retard to understand what I am talking about here.
By the way, why are you so interested in me? Why are you reading every line I wrote? I hope you are not stalking me, although I know you are trying to talk “sexy†with Jenny and Jong. You are a pathetic pervert. This is a political blog. Please show your desperation elsewhere.

yes, we certainly need that. To begin with, we need people who are honest with their use of ID here, not like someone keep changing IDs from darkhorse, colonel, dracula, bodo to now papi chai, the mah chai of OKT. This papi chai could be a paid running dog of BN.

SPECTACULAR
Internet line was very slow and jittery, on-off-on-off……so it took me quite a while to try and post.
I do not know how to start, but let me try this way.
I am always early for all the ceramahs that I go to. Reasons, easier to find car park, stroll around the surrounding and try to chat to people, asking for feedbacks.
Usually the crowd will only start to swell after 8pm. Last night I attended one at Pitt street, Penang. The crowd to my estimate is around 1,500. Everyone was cheering and clapping as the speakers spoke. A slight downpour does not deter the spirit as many come prepared with their umbrellas.
After a while I stroll one block away where bn is having their ceramah. A nice location with tent and chairs but no food serve this time round. I was thinking to have some free food but was disappointed. I hang around and listen for a while. This is what they said to the two hundred odd crowd.
The oppositions are playing money politics, they throw money around, we do not do that. We always keep our promise, what we promise is always carried out.( off course they did not detail out what they had promised and what they have done) They spoke about tourism (what a joke) and promise more development, like creating “a central” like the one they have in KL, monorail and what not. All the people there clap their hands ( what fools can believe all these).
I could not take it anymore, so I walk back to the DAP ceramah.
But tonight 1st of March is really SPECTACULAR
As usual I had my dinner around six and then drive to Han Chiang High School (Penang), the time is around ten minutes past seven when I arrive. As usual I thought I am very early.
When I reach there, to my surprise, cars and motorcycles were already parking to both sides of the road and to all sidewalks. I manage to squeeze in a gap to park my car ( the only advantage of a kanchil).
As I walk towards the school stadium, there are already a lot of people there and when I enter the stadium it was already half filled. By 7.30, the sitting area was already full. More people keeps flowing in and they were guided to sit on the floor. Just before 8 it was really fill to the brim with only standing areas at the exits. My estimate was about 4,000 people in the stadium.
It was raining quite heavy outside, but does not know how many were standing outside. Anwar, Karpal, Guan Eng were received with rousing welcome from shout and claps from the spectators. Half way through, I need to answer nature call. I tried slowly to press my way out. As I walk out the exit, you just could not believe what I saw. A huge crowd much bigger than the one inside the stadium, standing with umbrellas, listening to the speeches by way of loud speakers and monitor screen.
My estimate is around 5,000 people. As I walk away to find the loo, more people are just walking in. We can just say around 10,000 were there for this ceramah. I hope and pray that these 10,000 with their families and friends can turn it into votes for the Oppositions.
I am more confident this time round that people do seriously thinking of change. Usually, when donation boxes are pass around, those who contribute are usually just a few dollars each. But what I saw tonight is many are giving the red notes and in front of me, a man just push in a small stack of fifties. They are real serious this time round.
For tonight, there is no negative report from me but pray GOD that he grant us our wish for change.

I have committed my vote to the DAP years ago.
I would like to say this to those out there who have yet to decide which party to vote for this coming weekend. If you have some knowledge of what is happening to our beloved country under BN and that you are not happy with how they are running the show, why not give Barisan Rakyat a chance.
You can always kick them out the next GE if they fail us. Quite simple really.
Of more urgence is that you should make a serious effort to cast your ballots for whichever party that you finally decide on. All should give the fences a breather from our hot asses and be at the polling centers, at least for need of a reason to dignify our existence in the land we want to call our own.

Why isn’t the CM penalised for lying?
http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/NewsBreak/20080228152820/Article/index_html
(Jeff) Ooi reminded Koh of a vernacular news report on 23 June 1999 where the Chief Minister has appealed to Penangites to give the Barisan Nasional a 10 year mandate so Penang can rival Singapore.
“He has one more year left to deliver but going by the reported S48,900 gross domestic product per capita figures, I can tell you that this figure is nowhere close to what the people of Jelutong are earning now,”

MCA’s danger areas are the Sungai Puyu, Bagan Jermal, Paya Terubong and Air Puteh state seats and the Bukit Mertajam and Bagan parliamentary seats.
Gerakan, meanwhile, is having problems in the Sungai Pinang, Batu Lanchang, Air Itam and Datuk Keramat state seats and the Tanjung and Batu Kawan parliamentary seats.

This afternoon, Answar spoke at Klang on behalf of his party’s candidate as well as that of Pas’s. Looking at the crowd and the enthusiasam amongst them, it certainly looks like the MIC’s candidate’s days are numbered! Practical ALL INdians living within the constituent came to listen!! Even the normally ‘passive’ Chinese joined the shouting and giving their support! I have never seen so many Indians and some Chinese carrying PAS’s flags!!
BN may revert to some tricks to derail the GE, if the momentum keeps growing in this manner!!I hope the OPPOSITIONS are ready for any eventuality!! BN may plan to steal the GE!!
#13 by clear conscience on Sunday, 2 March 2008 - 6:49 pm
All those who are still undecided who to vote, just have to remember that what BN stands for:-
Bolot Negara
Bodoh Nazri
Buang Najis
Buang Najib
Barisan Nazi
Blind Neglect
Bahayakan Negara
Bacar Najis
Bacinkan Negara
Barisan Nistaan
Badan Nyanyuk (ACA)
Barisan Neraka
Barisan Nepotisme
Would you trust them at all? All these past 50 years of corruption, blindfolding and cheating the Malaysian people have to be stopped. Vote for the opposition to eradicate these “BNs”

For those Malays who still think that DAP is a Chinese party. Well i don’t blame you for thinking at way because majority of the members are Chinese BUT do understand that even if DAP won all the seats it is contesting in the coming election, DAP cannot form the government or even have a 1/3 voice in parliament. So do not worry about DAP forming the government , go all out to vote for DAP. When DAP MPs make noise in the parliament, they are doing for Malaysia not just for the Chinese. Without DAP exposing many scandals and secrets of government, we , ordinary citizens will still be in the dark and think that our governmet is doing fine. So , again i hope the Malays can put aside their fear of a DAP victory and vote for DAP candidates in this coming election

MCA ceramah talks about providing street lighting and rubbish collection. They think they talking to primitives!!! Why not talk about how to establish Bangsa Malaysia and equal rights to all? What about providing more places of worship? What about protesting BN’s policy of renaming of churches and mission schools? What about increasing crime index? MCA, UMNO’s lackeys.
#20 by limkamput on Monday, 3 March 2008 - 10:34 am
Papi dog, you said more that, and don’t try to deny. Read this, donkey:
Hello papi dog, we the human do not learn from donkey, got it? Donkeys don’t talk, they just bray and that is you, yes you. You don’t tell a lady “you are too oldâ€. Only a donkey will bray such a thing! Nobody needs any help from a donkey. If we need anything from the donkeys, we just whip them. By the way, you could be an old fart.
It is not just Jong who got mad with you. Please read this: 1. mycroft Says to you: What a stupid and ignorant thing to say. 2. somaris Says this to you: Let me tell u this? Lim kit Siang do good thing for all the people. Tell me what u do for the people ? Please have some respect. Please GROW UP.
You see, I think most of the people here have a built-in sense of fair play and justice in them. When they see a perverted donkey on the prowl, they know. Yes, don’t get confused again, that perverted donkey is you, papi dog @ darkhorse, dracula, colonel, bodo, godamn, diaperhead, or blackeye.
Luther, I suggest you don’t waste time with a pervert donkey who tried to make a pass on Jong and Jenny, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic.

Dear all Malaysian
The mainstream media had reported that MCA & Gerakan had urged all Malaysian Chinese to back them or there will be no representation of Malaysian Chinese IN THE Government. Likewise, MIC had similarly used the same tactics in advertisements in the mainstream media echoing the same message.
Apart from striking fear in all Malaysian Chinese & Indians, which is the usual tactics used by UMNO, all of us of sound mind would be able to see through this dirty tactic they employed in wooing our votes.
It is only those in MCA, Gerakan and MIC who are the ones who are out to blindfold all Malaysian Chinese & Indians. By the fact that their request for support, DID ALL OF US realize that these very MCA, Gerakan & MIC leaders are ironically acknowledging that they themselves are NOT CONVINCING ENOUGH to take on the UMNO leaders and require all our support in order to do so!!! Even if they had from us, were they brave enough to stand up to them as what YB Loh Seng Kok, YB Devamany and YB S Jothi did. Sorry lah, they are only interested to toe the line of UMNO.
As such, these MCA, Gerakan & MIC leaders are actually, by all measures (whether by how much $$$ per kilometer they could reap, how much $$$ from the camouflaged contracts they get) …….are cheating we the Rakyat so that they remain formidably entrenched in their positions for their own good.
For the record purposes, such benefits are common as far as project implementations are concerned. Let’s say for example, a RM30,000 small project for any school usually is being done from the MP/ADUN’s allocation so pledged. A designated contractor would do the job and will bill the MP/ADUN concerned. How much was billed subsequently is unknown to many of us, the Rakyat. The school would not be given a cheque of RM30,000 directly by the MP/ADUN. There goes our taxpayers’ money.
That is the reason why so many Malaysian Chinese and Indians aspire to be in MCA or Gerakan or MIC. These parties are actually the ONLY step to a gold mine but expressed on the pretext of serving the Rakyat.
If the MCA, Gerakan & MIC could not stand up to UMNO, why then we Rakyat continue to give them the needed support they so request?
THE LOGIC IS CLEAR! They are not for us but instead strike fear in us just as what UMNO struck fear into all Kelantanese. By UMNO saying to the Kelantanese, you had suffered 18 years with no progress under PAS and they would no longer suffer should the BN take over Kelantan. It only shows what. Again it’s striking fear. If UMNO has the Kelantanese at heart, the BN government would have poured in the central government funds to develop it. It only reveals that “You put me in there, I will then develop your area”.
There is no free lunch, it’s you scratch my back MORE, I may or may not scratch yours.
BUT if the situation is analyzed from a very sound perspective and analytical mind, can you trust them????

HERE ARE THE FACTS WHY WE CANNOT GIVE THEM 2/3 OF PARLIAMENT
1. Barisan lost 2/3 majority once, in 1969. Only briefly.
2. Since 1957, it has amended the constitution 690 times to propagate its power. By comparison, USA which is more 200 years old has only amended its constitution 27 times; Singapore as little as only 4 times.
3. Barisan’s ability to amend the constitution as it likes (and make unjust and unfair constitutional changes) must be stopped now.
Here are the statistics from the 2004 election:
1. UMNO received 35.9% of the popular votes but has 110 parliamentary seats or 50% of all parliamentary seats.
2. In total, Barisan received 63.8% of the popular votes but has 199 parliamentary seats or 91% of all parliamentary seats.
3. The opposition received 36.2% of the popular votes but has only 20 parliamentary seats or 9% of all parliamentary seats.
4. Why? Because of gerrymandering, or unfair election rules. The election rules are stacked against the opposition. No matter what happens, the opposition will never, I repeat, will never be able to win the next election.
Here’s the decision-making power process within our present cabinet.
1. UMNO not only controls the parliament via Barisan, it has allocated itself 24 cabinet positions or 71% of all cabinet positions.
2. MCA has 5 cabinet positions or 15% of the cabinet positions.
3. MIC has 1 cabinet position or 3 % of the cabinet positions.
4. Gerakan has 1 cabinet position or 3% of the cabinet positions.
5. Other component parties hold 3 cabinet positions or 8% of the cabinet positions.
One should take note that although UMNO controls 50% of all parliamentary seats, it controls 71% of all the decision making processes within the cabinet.
4. Many marginalization issues or unfair election practices are the result of legislations passed by Barisan (lead by UMNO) unchecked in a dominant Barisan parliament. Under the Barisan Party whip system, the majority component party within Barisan will dictate the rules of the game. Other Barisan component parties like MCA, Gerakan or MIC cannot vote against what UMNO decides in whatever it likes, even if they wanted to.
5. Best part is this: even if the opposition won all the seats it contested, no single opposition party can form the next government. Why? Gerrymandering (of the present election borders) has ensured that even if Barisan were to win 50% of the popular votes in the upcoming election, it will still control 2/3 of parliament. As an example, in 2004 Barisan took 64% of the popular votes but ended up controlling 91% of parliament. It is easy to see why if they win only 50% of the popular votes in the next election they will once again be able to dictate absolute power in the parliament.
