		<description>Original Version

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs &amp; dances &amp; plays
the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food
or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant&#039;s a fool and laughs &amp; dances &amp; plays
the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.

TV1, TV2 &amp; TV3 show up to provide pictures of the shivering
Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a
table filled with food.

The majority of the  Parliament is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can it be that this poor Grasshopper be allowed to suffer so?

Khairy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant&#039;s house.

Nazri goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that
Grasshoppers be accorded the same comfort during winter.

Most of the related people criticize the Government for not
upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The local newspapers (MSNs) &amp; the Internet are flooded with online petitions
seeking support for the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and
Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for
non-compliance).

The u must not object controlled Parliament immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working
hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants
and Grasshoppers.

Krishammudin provide &#039;More Special Reservation&#039; for Grasshoppers in
Educational Institutions &amp; in Government Services.

The Ant is found guilty and fined for failing to comply with 30% sharing. Having
nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes; its home is confiscated by
the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony
covered by the MSNs.

Prime Minister announces to the whole nation that this is part of
the Never Ending Policy and all have to respect, no questions asked and have to follow
it.

Many years later

The Ant has since migrated and set up a multi-billion dollar company in its new country.

In spite of the NEP, 100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation everywhere.
With the loss of many hard working Ants who worked very hard feeding the Grasshoppers,
the country still remains a developing country!!!

Where will the country be without the ants............................

so.... are you the brilliant hardworking ant or the grasshopper that is dependent on the NEP 
and forever hopping for aid???

		<description>Malaysia&#039;s Beauty only Skin Deep - A Nomad

This article was written by a traveller and an expat who had lived in Malaysia.

Malaysia is a great country! Unspoiled beaches, excellent diving spots, mountains surrounded by misty fog, exotic fauna and flora and a healthy, vast rain forest are attracting plenty of visitors. Islands like Pulau Langkawi, Tioman, Penang, the Perhentians or locations like Genting Highlands have a legendary reputation with travelers.

The country embraced tourism already many years ago and the slogan “Malaysia - truly Asia” will ring in your ears forever; once you saw the mesmerizing advertising campaigns on CNN, BBC or other global TV stations.

However, Malaysia’s politics were never that idyllic and recent years were no exception:

What happened so far?

		<description>I have never doubted Teresa&#039;s ability cause she has shown results since becoming an MP from 1999. the same goes to Teng who have been showing results since 1995. But then the same cannot be said of Ronnie and Ean Yong. hope they can be good or even better than Teresa and Teng. Just curious why DAP want to risk this little chance given by the rakyat after a 50 years wait to test on fresh SA. I agree with ric23. with DAP Putras in DAP, the CEC do not need to show Transparency here!</description>

		<description>lakilompat,

this issue make ppl feel the smell of favourism, and sidelined of potential and caliber leaders ..

since DAP selangor have their reason and criteria to select the exco list ... if it is convincing, why so scare to let other knows?

If DAP selangor will tell ppl that exco is selected based on criteria &quot;who&#039;s armpit hair is the longest&quot; ... then  i am going to use a ruler to measures ... if teng&#039;s armpit hair is the shortest, then i will keep quiet and accept it ...

there must already a criteria how the formation is made, right? Then what it is? ppl curious to know since there is smell of favourism ...</description>

		<description>Q1- Why must DAP use an untested Ean Yong as Exco to investigate the matters that were brought by Teng? 
[Rejuvenate - New ideas, talents that doesn&#039;t mean Ean Yong can&#039;t deliver]
Q2-Why must DAP drop a proven SA with creditable showing in the late Zakaria istana issue and let Ean Yong investigate?
[They work as a team whoever is drop and rise, does it really matters? Is it in the constitution one must be creditable in order to get the appointment?]
Q3- Who has more knowledge in the istana Zakaria NOW?
[Who care?]
Q4- What is the justification in selecting Ean Yong over Teng?
[Rejuvenation? perhaps, give young generation a chance]
DAP=TRANSPARENCY
[Off course else you wouldn&#039;t have statement made from Teng]</description>

		<description>Pak Lah can&#039;t take KJ, else he have to declare, also it is much better for KJ to remain low profiles to keep things secret anyhow Pak Lah will still seek KJ advise on certain federal contracts, the Iskandar projects etc. Don&#039;t forget Pak Lah need to enjoy family life with Jeanne, grandson, daughter, son, ultimately Khairy. If you appoint Khairy as minister, he will be busy. Now Khairy is not minister he can easily fly here and there enjoy his life, any new contracts come, he will get first hand info. He&#039;s probably enjoying his massage now or sipping his coffee at one of the golf ranch while the rakyat and opposition struggles to fend off federal sabotage and EXCO appointment.

Pls look and think far! Why i need be a minister when im a prime minister eye and ear?</description>

		<description>The appointment or the non appointment of Teng goes beyond age and experience arguments.  It may also connote hegemony within DAP where senior and potentially capable leaders are sidelined.  

I see that we are vociferous in our attack against Ean Yong and Ronnie (to some extent) but we have left Theresa untouched.  May I know why, is it because she is a woman or a popular MP?  Is she really that capable or resourceful to be everywhere and holding so many positions?  Never mind, we shall all see the quality of her work as well as Ean’s and Ronnie’s from now on.   Besides, I think the positions they are holding now are not their own doing or decision.  Ultimately, it is CEC and Sdr Lim who need to provide some explanation on this.</description>

		<description>mycroft,

maybe I am wrong, the reason that DAP got 3 exco instead of 4 exco is because the Sultan &quot;advised&quot; that the proportion of the Malays and nono-Mal;ays exco be be at least equal. I am sure DAP would not want to dispute this as they may end up like UMNO Trengganu and the MSM may sensationalise the issue (like what they did to Uncle Kit  for the Perak MB issue). 13/36 is 36%. so we are almost there if Teng is made a Speaker.</description>

		<description>mycroft,

saubling might make u misunderstand on this issues ... it is not about age or person

it is the same theory why we all curious on certain formation of abdullah cabinet ... we will ask if we curious ...

selangor case is why an experience and has achivement candidate is not appointed but a fresh one is appointed ... usually fresh one is selected if we have no other choices ... but in this case it is not ...

bare in mind ... we have only 4 years time ... and chances that BN will take over selangor is very high ... BN fall this time becoz they have too much weakness ... not becoz the opposition have many achivements in governing state (since we dont have chances for 50 years) ...

with this short time of 4 years, we need to make use of ppl with experience to ensure that the experience can efficiently help to achieve some performace on the state government ... DAP need big achievemnt, not minor achievement in selangor goverment ...

that&#039;s the reason why ppl curious and asking, why dun make use of the experience one but a fresh one IN THIS CRITICAL MOMENT?</description>

<p>bare in mind &#8230; we have only 4 years time &#8230; and chances that BN will take over selangor is very high &#8230; BN fall this time becoz they have too much weakness &#8230; not becoz the opposition have many achivements in governing state (since we dont have chances for 50 years) &#8230;</p>
<p>with this short time of 4 years, we need to make use of ppl with experience to ensure that the experience can efficiently help to achieve some performace on the state government &#8230; DAP need big achievemnt, not minor achievement in selangor goverment &#8230;</p>
<p>that&#8217;s the reason why ppl curious and asking, why dun make use of the experience one but a fresh one IN THIS CRITICAL MOMENT?</p>

&quot;selecting the 29 years old boy is the same like PM selecting KJ as Minister.&quot;

I can think of a hundred reasons why KJ should not be a minister and his age is not one of them. Similarly, I cannot think of any reason why Ean Yong&#039;s age should count against him. I think you are being highly insulting by calling him a boy. He&#039;s 29 years old, which means that he is 11 years past 18, which is when most people are considered to have become matured. That&#039;s hardly a boy, is it? Or are you saying that his constituencies are stupid for electing a &quot;boy&quot; to be their representative? 

Age is only a number. William Pitt the Younger, one of Britain&#039;s most famous and respected Prime Ministers became the PM at the age of 24. Ok, granted in those days things worked differently, but he was also derided by his political opponents for his age more than anything. 

As for Teng not being in the ExCo. I think the matter should be dropped. Instead of attacking the DAP for that, I don&#039;t see anyone of you questioning why the DAP was only given 3 seats which is what PAS won when the DAP won 13 seats compared to 8 seats for PAS.</description>

		<description>limkamput,

We have been asking for explaination since Monday but until today there is no justification or explaination from the CEC DAP regarding their criteria in choosing the three excos. they want to behave like UMNO Putras mentality &quot;we think what is best for the rakyat&quot; selecting the 29 years old boy is the same like PM selecting KJ as Minister. no justification. maybe u can refer to my previous comments. I am tired of repeating.</description>

		<description>saubling, 
I think you don&#039;t understand me. I am referring to Teng&#039;s case and my point is we just can&#039;t move on unless we get some answers from DAP.  Otherwise DAP will be no difference from BN.  Be it on Teng&#039;s case, be it on the administration of a state government, and be it on the management of a political party, the principles of transparency, fairness and accountability are the same and they equally and unequivocally apply.  If we can sacrifice Teng, we can sacrifice bigger issues in the future.</description>

		<description>saubing Says: 
I admire ric_23 persistence but what can we do if DAP do not want to answer our queries? you can see whether i blindly support or i have many queries? whatever it is let’s move on…….

What can we do? We also have lots of complaints against BN, and what can we do?  Hmm, nothing much we can do and let&#039;s move on......and we have been doing that for 50 years.  If we are not careful, the next 50 years is another &quot;let&#039;s move on....&quot;.</description>

		<description>ric23, 

I am not as energetic as you. please see this article

http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/80481

I think it&#039;s well said. DAP should do some reflection after this GE. 

I hope you can update me if there is any reply from DAP CEC regarding the matter that you are so persistent! Keep it up!</description>

		<description>&quot;We must be rational when we support a political party. If we are blind and fanatical, in no time the party we support will behave like another BN.&quot; limkamput

Saubing, you&#039;re new on this blog. So you could be excused for not knowing that only this self-appointed resident gatekeeper is rational, not blind and not fanatical.

But hey who says in the land of the blind the one-eyed jackass is not king??</description>
