The second Abdullah Cabinet is a disappointment all round with no signs from its first meeting yesterday that it will be reformist and get cracking to make up for the past four years of broken pledges of reform.
Even the promise of judicial reform which was the rationale for the surprise appointment of Datuk Zaid Ibrahim as the de facto Law Minister to undertake judicial and legal reforms to restore national and international confidence in the independence, integrity and quality of the judiciary after two decades of ravages of the cardinal principles of a truly independent judiciary and just rule of law has come up against a stonewall.
Zaid’s proposal that the government should apologise to the victims of the 1988 judicial crisis, which many have regarded as grossly inadequate to address the series of judicial crisis of confidence in the past two decades, could not find support in the Cabinet yesterday, with Zaid making the revealing comment after saying that he had presented his view that the government should apologise to Tun Salleh Abas, Datuk George Seah and the late Tan Sri Wan Suleiman Pawanteh:
“Well, I am afraid the view has yet to be considered.
“There are many people who are more experienced and who are wiser than me. So we have to wait.”
What Zaid meant is clear and simple – he has not received any support in the Cabinet to take the first step for meaningful judicial reforms, to rectify the wrongs and injustices which had caused the plunge of Malaysia’s judicial system from internationally-acknowledged as world-class two decades ago to its parlous state today.
It is also disappointing that the first meeting of the second Abdullah Cabinet yesterday gave no signs that it has heard the people’s voice in the March 8 general election and is seized of the urgency to make up for four years’ of failure to deliver the reform pledges made by Abdullah when he became Prime Minister, particularly:
1. Immediate and unconditional release of the five Hindraf leaders, P. Uthayakumar, newly-elected DAP Selangor State Assemblyman for Kota Alam Shah M. Manoharan, V. Ganabatirau, R. Kenghadharan and T. Vasantha Kumar from Internal Security Act (ISA) detention.
2. Full commitment to establish First-World Parliament.
3. All-out drive to eradicate corruption with the elevation of the Anti-Corruption Agency as an autonomous agency answerable only to Parliament.
4. Full implementation of the 125 recommendations of the Royal Police Commission to create an efficient, incorruptible, professional world-class police service to reduce crime, eradicate corruption and uphold human rights, particularly the establishment of an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).
5. All-party inquiry to enhance Malaysia’s international competitiveness including having a world-class education system to enable the country to successfully face the challenges of globalization.
All in all, it is a bad start for the second Abdullah Cabinet despite the claim of the Prime Minister that he has heard the “message” of the people in the March 8 political tsunami – that “Point made and point taken”. Clearly, the point made by Malaysian voters in the March 8 general election has still to be “taken” by the Prime Minister and his Cabinet.

Apparently i don’t think he even knows what point to take. the mullah is absolutely oblivious to the reality of march 8. he does seem to know to say the right things but does the wrong things. was wondering how did the raising of the 8 issues went in parliament? did mullah paid any attention to those in the first place? even if he didnt its ok- it shows his incapabilities and that the opposition and championing for the right things though they are not perfect.

Good men do not last long in this type of environment. I mean it is fairly obvious that his only interest is to help out the Government do what is needed. How can he ever succeed when doing so will necessarily cause these bands of thieves to compromise in so many ways. What I suggest is to actively court Zaid to come over to Barisan Rakyat when he is thoroughly frustrated and that I suppose will not be very long. We need honourable and talented person like him to be in the BR team. I would rather a person like him jump boat than BN’s MPs whose royalty shift with the tides.

In fighting for his political survival, Abdullah should take measures that must win supports for himself and his newly appointed cabinet, even if it means giving in to the demands of the opposition, especially when the opposition is given the mandate by the Rakyat to be their voices.

PL’s brain is getting old and malfunction sometimes, new genetically grown Khairy’s brain sap has been injected. What you see now is an experiment of half matured “Beruk” brain rejuvenation.

I think BN needs more dynamic and proactive leadership. If the present leadership is not prepared to move, it will only be fair for other more qualified and visionary people like TR to take over.

To toyolbuster:- I think he make more blunder than before
1) Police new robe & weapon
2) Merging of Mainboard + 2ndboard to benefit Khairy & his family
3) Opposing the Sultan
4) Allowed UMNO member to protest the Royal appointment. Who desgin this insulting banner “Kami nak Idris, Natang” and this “Anwar Pengkhianat Bangsa.”
5) Sabotage Penang govt. “open tender policy” a Malay wearing giogio armani spec speaking on behalf of Cronies (Dwarf) opposing it because he said Cronies required protection against Giant! can Rakyat accept such statement? He’s insulting the Malay, mean the Malay are generally “Kerdil” or Dwarf, i believe only those UMNO cronies will benefit and suppress all the Malay from getting the benefit.

Bodowi : “Got. Nah, I got Mud Tahi on my Crapbinet – he got integrity, what.”
Zaid : “Let’s study the RC report on Lingam.”
Bodowi : “Good idea. Make it a thorough 4-year study. We have not yet completed study on Port Klang FTZ, Altantuya case, Istana Zakaria and many, many others. Then, organise a review of the study.”
Zaid : “Better to have comprehensive plan than just views.”
Bodowi : “That’s what I said. Kurang Jar also agrees. Comprehensive!Like Mud Tahi’s case – 10years old, now back in my Crapbinet”
Zaid : “Many more people wiser than me…give me time to be just like them-lah”
Bodowi : “Very wise…talk a lot but don’t commit. Committee, can. Sub-committee, also can. Sub-sub-committee, even better. Commit, cannot.”
Zaid : “You cannot expect Tun to do that!”

#21 by Bigjoe on Thursday, 27 March 2008 - 1:58 pm
For the head of the biggest law firm in town, Zaid should know that in order to get something really big to happen, the first rule is never let thing stay idle i.e., there must always be a ‘next step’ either forward or backward it does not matter. The worst thing is “let us get back to you indefinitely”. NEVER NEVER take for granted the next step whether its forward or backward.
If there are views to be considered, then those views have to be identified and a time to be set to decide on those. But instead, leaving it in the hands of others just cannot be any worst. Excuses will always be many and its why it has to be sorted out as many and as quickly as possible.
Unbelievable Zaid makes such a rookie mistake.

I think Zaid’s appointment was just a knee jerk reaction to cool down the public anger. He seems to be the only likable person left in UMNO. Remember Zaid was already dumped to contest in the 12th GE.Why brought him back? C4 & Lingam verdicts will be out soon, they need to have someone ready to face the crowd .
They also brought in someone who was heading Maybank. Now you see Maybank is investing more than 6 Billion ringgit in an Indonesian Bank. No doubt question will be raised as to why put the money oversea and not investing it in much needed local projects in our own country. It defies logic. What’s the gomen trying to do?
#24 by ypmeng on Thursday, 27 March 2008 - 2:23 pm
“”All-out drive to eradicate corruption “” No way Uncle Lim as long as Bodohwi and all the suckers are up there. Just be patient, we are just waiting for the next GE.

It is so sad that sometime people are so stubborn that they are in a state of denial. Their ego is so big and constantly need to be fed, hence they will not accept any criticism or suggestion. Of course for “these people” sorry it an absolute taboo and they will avoid. After 50 years of independence we are still stuck with these primadonas leaders running our goverment. No wonder we are “backward”
#26 by lakilompat on Thursday, 27 March 2008 - 2:27 pm
Maybank represent Malaysian Bank, and Malaysian money, now tell me what’s the logic to take Malaysian money to exchange for Indonesian money? the amount is not small yet the govt. approved such move?
“Maybank falls 10.6% on concerns of RM8.6bil acquisition”
They would rather move the money to overseas rather than injecting back to stimulate the economy to opposition controlled states. The 5 states opposition held represent 60% of Malaysia Economy.
The govt. is kind of crazy at one point Pak Lah cabinet wanted to scrutinize foreigner worker, the indonesian, on the other point approve Maybank to transfer RM 8.6 billion to buy Indonesia bank, wow how much commission a middle man get this time? what is the name of the middle man who brokered such deals?
#27 by boilingmad on Thursday, 27 March 2008 - 3:00 pm
We all see it very clearly the results of the last GE and what the rakyat wants. The fact that nothing has gone through AAB’s ears and head when even a ‘beruk’ can see it only means one thing: that a charm must have been used on AAB so that he becomes a sleeping “bodohwi”.
#28 by NotProudToBeMalaysian on Thursday, 27 March 2008 - 3:00 pm
Who do you think he’s trying to fool?
The rakyat or himself?
Problem is that when he lied, he doesn’t even knows how to lie properly.
When he wanted to do something right, he alway seem to do things wrong.
What type of person is he anyway?
Is he just a person who’s being used by someone or is he just a bit “cracked”?
What’s going on anyway?
Why are those so called “Umno” support him for?
Can’t they differentiate what is right or wrong or are they just ignorant?
Why are they still supporting him even though it’s a disaster for the country.
Is “Umno loyalty” so important than that of the country’s future?
What is so important about him that certain quarters are willing to see this country “wreck” apart?
What’s the use of having opposition in this country if they are not allow to rule together side by side even if they’ve won?
If that’s the case, what’s the difference between a communist country.

Well there are such leader in world history, take example of Adolf Hitler. You know him well from history, that he ordered and approved his followers to sent Jews into concentration camp and gas chamber. Yet his party “Nazi” still support him. This principle also happen in Malaysia, we have “UMNO” mean they placed their loyalty on party rather than whether the leader is doing the right thing or not. As long as they are in power, they will continue to rape you and me and our childrens and womans.
Fortunately he’s unlike Tun Dr. Mahathir style that’s to unite everything under one umbrella (MCA,Gerakan,MIC,UMNO,outliers Sabah & Sarawak) Tun style is more like “Qin shi huang” style, under his 22 yrs of ruling those who against him, will be throw to jail.

Bro Kit,
I think this is not unexpected! We knew this would happen.
As for Zaid, well, they would have told him “shut-up & follow instructions as you have been put here to cheat the Rakyat into thinking that we are going to do something about our corrupted Judiciary”!
Zaid should quit while he has the chance before he gets “blamed” for the other “rubbish” that is sure to come along!
#31 by novice101 on Thursday, 27 March 2008 - 3:18 pm
Zaid has his baptism, yesterday, when the cabinet met for the first meeting .
Zaid said the apology was something “we can do if we want to, but it is up to the leaders (to decide).” It should be up to the leader, why up to the leaders, now? Isn’t it is up to the leader (the PM) to decide.? Isn’t the PM the one to set the tone and direction for his cabinet ? Or has he been upstaged again?
Wonder how long can last in such an environment, if he were to stick to his principles.
“Well, I am afraid the view has yet to be considered.
“There are many people who are more experienced and who are wiser than me. So we have to wait.”
The above 2 statements speak volume of Zaid’s frustration and the mindset the ministers take into the new government.
Looks like MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP which still want to hitch themeselves to the BN bandwagon, will have a doomed future.

Zaid is now backpedalling on his initial position, which was vague anyway, but sounded good when it came from a new kid on the block. We wanted to believe Zaid so desperately that we essentially “ignored” the vagueness of his initial comments. Some even hailed him as a savior !
Now the true colours of Badawi’s cabinet are exposed for all to see. Zaid has to produce a “first” paper but before he produces this, he needs to see the findings of the IC on the Lingam videotape case. Then the cabinet has to debate on the “first” paper, so that someone presumably will work on the “second” paper.
Already, Zaid has said that his personal opinion is that the government should apologise to the victims of the 1988 judiciary fiasco. Who are the victims ? Apparently, Zaid ignored the fact that we are all victims – having had to live through 20 years of a tainted judiciary. Who are the perpetrators of the crime then ? The then AG, and the former PM figure prominently, but then Zaid now says that the previous administration is “gone”, so bringing the perpetrators of this heinous crime to book would not be forthcoming. What about people like Badawi, Nazri, Syed Hamid, et al, who were members of that administration ? Even if they claim ignorance, there must be an inquiry to ascertain who committed the crimes in 1988.
#37 by Godfather on Thursday, 27 March 2008 - 5:01 pm
Another signal that nothing has been learnt by the BN thieves is that the muzzling of the mainstream press continues to this day. No one is prepared to report on what has transpired between Badawi and DYMM Agong on the Trengganu MB issue. Isn’t this something of national interest ? The press played up the Perak MB issue but is totally quiet on the Trengganu MB issue. The rakyat knows the double standards applied, so this is another black eye in the administration of Abdullah Badawi.
Point made, point taken, the Badawi goes to sleep as usual.

The EGOism in BN will never allow past mistakes admitted.
At least Zaid in his ” personal ” capacity admitted the gross injustice made.
He would then get the cabinet’s approval …. wow … going through Krismudin , Najib , AAB then Mike Tyson and finally Khairy’s approval. OMG impossible lei.
Mat Tyson as KJ’s proxy is a BIG mistake. everyone can see through it.
The crack in UMNO is getting wider and I think we can really forget about what AAB’s talking about bcos, soon he’ll be history.

“ Looks like there are plenty of euphoria especially from the legal fraternity after the appointment of Zaid Ibrahim as Minister in charge of legal and judicial reforms. Honestly I would like to put a brake on all these euphoria and ecstasy. Only time can tell as I am not sure whether he is put there to reform or to be reformed. Judging from precedents, in UMNO more often than not those who enter the “kandang” get reformed rather than making reforms. The crack of the whip will make them shiver and loose their bearing. I have seen many of his predecessors, who sounded so promising but eventually became a lamb and just followed the flock. If anybody can remember, Shahidan was one of them, outspoken when he was an ordinary MP, especially as a chairman of the backbenchers club. So is Shahrir but got reformed in the “one eye Jack” case. I really respected him (Shahrir) at one time and thought that he can deliver some changes for the betterment of the rakyat, but I am not so correct. His statement that he refused a minister post sometime ago does not really convince me now judging from his euphoria and statements made after he was offered a Minister post. Normally a person who has the conviction to decline but later changed his/her mind to accept does not behave that way, especially he only made that statement less than 2 yrs ago.
So let’s keep that euphoria under wrap first until we really see the transformation with our own eyes. Do not just get caught up on what he does or say outside. To be honest I had profound respect for Zaid Ibrahim and will continue with my respect until proven wrong. To this I hope he will lend credibility by making all the necessary arrangements so that there will be no conflict of interests with his Legal firm.
Till then I wish him all the best in his appointment as a Minister and hope that he will fulfill what the people and the country desire most, a sound and fair judiciary system which is a must for any democratic country to move forward and to be well respected internationally”.
This above is exactly what I had put in this blog about a 2 weeks ago and repeated last week. I have years of experience observing the antics of BN, I think I am not too far away to have my prediction fulfilled. Give 6 months to a year and he will be totally reformed instead of reforming. He will be hitting himself against a concrete wall and those wise men will finally tell him you are not so wise in coming through the back door.
Anyway one consolation is that he had resigned from his Company as what I had expected him to do as cited in my second paragraph.
Good Luck Joe, do not knock your head too hard as we might need your brain in the BR and that is where you will stand at par with all the wise men and not let the wise men cow you as in BN.
#50 by pwcheng on Friday, 28 March 2008 - 1:05 am
Zaid, the above message is also from a wise old man. Quit while the going is still good and not quit when your “maruah” is already down the drain.
I can more or less assure you, you will be hitting concrete walls and hard rocks at every corner you turn because what is good for the rakyat and the people is normally not good for your friends in the BN.
