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.

From One Caring Malaysian To Another

Let’s Do Our Part To Safeguard The Future….Our Children

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????

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 old”. 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.
