Yup, traffic was very bad yesterday in Klang…but not sure if it was like that everyday. Also, still a lot of the BN political banners hanging around all over PJ. Not to mention, a few PAS / PKR flags.

Actually, we don’t need to look very far – even on Malaysian roads we see BIG cars bully SMALL cars. This is everyday life in Malaysia. There is hardly any courtesy at all.

I’m sry to tell you Bob, there is no law to protect the poor & weak. The poor & weak country will get sanction by rich & powerful country, this is always the norms in real life. The US (George Bush) is rich & powerful, it has lots of reserve oil, it can manipulate world leaders such as UK (Tony Blair) or Australia (John Howard) it can sanction trade embargoes on Iran or country they term it as exis of evil. Internationally, law is govern by the rich & powerful, the nation which are weak & cruel in term of leadership but rich in term of resources, will be in the casualty list (Iraq & The Taliban).

With money you will have followers, or cronies. People tend to forgot who is Khairy Jamaludin, who is Patrik Lim and who is Kamaludin Abdullah, 1 night billionaires at the expense of whom? with money you can delay cases like Atlantuya end up like Norita case. Law is there to be manipulated by the rich and powerful. ISA is a clear indication, the federal govt. shows you there is no law except the law of jungle.

You all must start educate the old and young abt. the govt. so that they are political informed. Always look outside the box, learn from history, good law won’t last bad law even worst. There are many qualities literature whereby you can study and feel what is the situation during the ancient time compare to now.

My dear friend, again this is just an illustration. Call it Hudud Law whatsoever. If there was such mechanism that can bring the super rich & powerful that siphon millions and billions from public coffer to justice then the rakyat should push for it before the nation gone into bankruptcy. That’s my 2 cents.

To Bob, “Hudud for hardcore criminals etc pengkianat2 negara that suits them since they are living in the law of the jungle and no fear of present law if any.”

You think Hudud law will give a good punishment, in fact it is not, it is cruel, and inhumane.

The world protect the rich and powerful, how many rich man & powerful man were sentenced to death? only when they become less powerful then you can hanged them, classic example is the hanging of Saddam Hussein, behead of Goths King by Julius Caesar due to his betrayal.

Kota Damansara to be precised. Many people are not happy with the traffic police. Traffic light main cause of jam. Can someone advice which channel can we residents submit our complaint? MBPJ? DAP? PKR?

If a poor child steal for food, is it not cruel to chop his hand, if a young pretty girl committed adultery is it cruel to mutilate the genital? i don’t see such a cruel act can curb anything and bring justice?

- Well, am not referring to these type of crime. Hudud for hardcore criminals etc pengkianat2 negara that suits them since they are living in the law of the jungle and no fear of present law if any.

Godfather Says:
Is it my imagination, or has anyone noticed that the police in the Klang Valley are nowhere to be seen nowadays ? The traffic jams are getting worse, and the traffic police has been conspicously absent.

- Feel the same. Traffic getting worst. My area before election always there. After election, now you see them now you don’t. Even there stand there doing nothing. Yesterday usual 7 min journey to highway became 25 min, with the presence of 2 officers! B****at! Wasting taxpayers $$ and trying to be funny with rakyat!!

Could he be misquoted, as it was from NSTP ?

from the nstp: “If people want to ask how PKR and DAP can work with Pas, then the same logic must be applied to how Umno can work with MCA and MIC,” said PKR information chief Tian Chua.

This is a stupid observation, Tian Chua! Look MCA and MIC do NOT work with UMNO, they docilely serve UMNO. Do you, PKR and DAP want to serve or work with PAS?

There pjboy, those are not possible. Say is easy perform is hard. It is easy to propose the Federal Govt. to subsidize the 2nd Penang bridge but are they interested? Do you think a foreigner will come to your country if your own government is not interested to invest in its own infrastructure? look at JB-Singapore, Penang-Mainland jammed everyday, even import & export are affected this in return impact the inflow and outflow of funds.

Remember there’s a move for all ministers to declare assets. But do you think they will really declare it (opposition & ruling)? I think the new Selangor MB can explain in length. This is just a gimmick for a just and transparent govt.

I think Rakyat hope the alternative party can help minimize corruptions and make a better Malaysia.

Sorry to admin, the [deleted] in my previous statement was a statement made by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim when Rahim enter his cell to introduce himself to him. I’m [deleted] here to punish you.

No offend to the police, the police should seek Rahim to apologize for defaming them.

Hope PR will adopt following or set the example to BN or future gov:
1. Rotational Leadership & maximum of 2 terms; regardless of ethnic, religion, son, daughter, son-in-law, out-laws…etc etc. Most important is to have the capacity to serve righteously.
2. PR-Chairman/President to be voted in base on popular vote; not party leadership. Party leadership to be nominated for the post, naturally.
3. Financial statements to be made public; to serve the purpose of being transparent, integrity & justice to the public.
4. Do not highlight only achievements from time to time (giving credit to unsung heroes as well) but also that has yet to be achieved (& why) & what are the future objectives (purpose) to achieve (from this basis, all MPs should be rated with KPI set out by PR committee or exco)
5. Finalise the structure of PR soon…as this will be a speculation by all…including “opposition” parties :D.
Did I leave out or over stressed some points? Pls do amend/correct. Just my opinion.

I don’t think that Anwar was armless when he was beaten by Rahim Noor, but the point is valid – the institutions of enforcement must report to Parliament, more specifically to non-partisan parliamentary select committees like in the US.

Is it my imagination, or has anyone noticed that the police in the Klang Valley are nowhere to be seen nowadays ? The traffic jams are getting worse, and the traffic police has been conspicously absent.

Problem is in Malaysia police is [deleted] look at Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim case in 1998 Rahim was ordered to beat Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim while in cell. What Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim have done till Rahim (chief police) have to beat an armless man? It has clearly shows us that our police forces are not yet independent.

In order for PR to be successful, they must make sure “Law” is not bias toward religion, income group and parties. And 2nd, “Law” must be enforce by independent that is the Police. There should be a group of Police Commissioner, to monitor how effective Police carry out the law something like (ICAC).

To bobster, i’m not try to be biased to “hudud law” even “law” itself can’t handle to put rich & powerful Malaysian to justice. The Atlantuya case, Norita case, Canny Ong case and Lingam case. Like Canny Ong case, the guy admitted to kill her, but this man is not sentenced to death, while the victim died, the family members are in despair, is justice enough?

If a poor child steal for food, is it not cruel to chop his hand, if a young pretty girl committed adultery is it cruel to mutilate the genital? i don’t see such a cruel act can curb anything and bring justice?

I’m not saying all “hudud law” is not good, just hope religion don’t mix into law. Law should be free from all kind of bias, gender bias, religion bias, income bias etc.

In fact why blame on law? if the law enforcer or leader did not harness it, and practice proper implementation of law. It is the police we should blame, because the Rakyat pay taxes to them, they must effectively deliver results such as solving the criminal cases etc. Therefore, Law is independent from all kind of biasness, the police must be independent as well without siding to any coalition whether it is ruling or opposition.

Badawi may have failed his entrance exam in stats, but I think he would have gotten the arithmetic right compared to the superior person writing in this blog who has eaten more salt that others have eaten rice.

You don’t need an ‘A’ in stats to figure out that if you are in a boat with 10 others, then there must be 11 persons on the boat. Of course when you have an “attap” education, and a suspicious mind, then you start to imagine that it is a trick question, and that therefore the answer must be something else.

Respect must be earned, not forced.

come on, we are suppose to use this site to discuss social and political issues, not to insult each other. In life, whatever you may have achieved in your ‘learning days’ are hardly of use after you have worked for a couple of years. Your experience and street smartness become vital. so forget about all those As you may have acquired. Insult is easy to fling but the negative emotion created is bad for both of you! So let’s ease of on such trade!
