		<description>Pak Lah is not a weak leader. In fact, he understood the ground well and used it decisively for Malaysia.

He could not get the BN house in order for there was far too much vested interested of the established few. What he could not do single handed, he got the Rakyat to do - i.e throw out those whom he wanted to rid the BN off without damaging the country.He has received the mandate to clean up BN.

He sacrificed BN for the sake of the country! As for TDM, he must be best remembered for decoupling the Ringgit peg to the USD - that was his finest moment. In so doing, he sacrificed the Country's international image to save the country. There are parallels, albeit under different conditions.

The sad parallel of Asian politics,  is the uncanny influence wielded by the people pheripheral to the powers at hand - the sons, daughters, wives, inlaws, siblings, etc..you name any Asian country from the North to the South, you find them all - past, present and future. Lest we forget, the "Ang Mo's" countries also have its share but in a manner that is checked to some extend by virtue of its Constitution and the make up of politics and media exposure. Their societies are less tolerant of nepotism, but nepotism does exist, surely and in degrees of gray.

Pak Lah, is a good person, a strong leader who knows, he has done what TDM has refused to admit was wrong - interference of the judiciary, that's TDM's undoing of all the goodness that he has done in earlier years. As for Khairy, an Oxford graduate, he has the brainpower, but like all immature wine, it's sour in taste. With time, he would have better understood, he did Pak Lah a disfavour in coming on too much of a hurry and was ill advised by the pheripheral of his orbiting confidantes.</description>

		<description>When i was kid living in Johor, my relatives will stop me when we start talking abt. politics, they are scared the police will overhead them and put them in jail. The police always stop a group of friends because they thought it is an illegal gathering, when it is just a gathering of friends for supper. Life is pretty dull in Johor, as at night there are not many nightspot we can visit. Most of these places are expensive, and not healthy. So, what is the govt. doing in this area to promote more healthy nightlife? in US or Canada there's night basketball, skateboarding, or futsal.</description>

		<description>Ladies and gentlemen, speak up and let not the historical facts be perverted. Let justice be done  to those who had suffered injustices done to them, let their deeds be rightfully recorded and their names be recognised.

The nation needs you at this juncture, let you be counted!</description>

		<description>Evil over good or Good over evil?

It is indeed sad to see the people who have facts or know events and incidences in our history are not coming out with them to put our history right.  Instead, they allow others to pervert the facts of events and incidences for their own benefits.

Why do they not speak up - what fears do they have or do they know that are preventing them to speak out; what apprehensions do they harbor in their hearts; what do they know that their other brethens do not, that cause them not to divulge the details.  Why are they prepare to remain silent while the 'perverters of truth' continue their merry ways?  Surely, they know they will be judged as people who are afraid to stand up for the truth.

The nation needs more people like Param Cumaraswamy and Karpal Singh.  Is the nation to continue to have its history twisted and distorted?  Where have all the brave citizens gone?</description>

		<description>#  ADAM YONG IBNI ABDULLAH Says:

"YB LIM KIT SIANG.

your blogsite have been “infested” by bloggers who are keen on ( knowing if the other party is guy/gal and their age )......."

to yong abdullah and the like, in what ways does this constitute a violation of democracy ?

democracy,as i understands it does indeed stands for,and upholds  one's :
[a] freedom of speech
[b] free will
[c] free and fairshare of information
[d] freedom of expression
[e] freedom to be stupid.

so,i find it very disturbing to hear such a comment in a blog that is *supposedly* to be a blog that promotes,honor,protect and serve the idea of democracy....

so;
have i been misleaded in my ideology 
OR;
indeed,there has been some hypocracy ?

"I think politics is a serious business, and i certainly hope that blog.limkitsiang is serious of the inputs that are made here."

---call me naive,but the only way you are going to hear only what you want to hear and see only what you want to see is under ABSOLUTE TYRANY,which,from what i know is *not* something that DAP stands for.......go set-up your own T.A.P[TYRANY ACTION PARTY], or just join "quack-chin...." where tyrany and hipocracy walks hand in hand.

freedom of speech cuts both ways,as you are free to subject your opinions,offendsive or not, onto the others,and that makes u liable to  others opinion,either u like it or not, so bear with it....

simply browsing around,i have found alot of stupid comments too which i did not like to be exposed to,but nevertheless,i bear with them,such as the [dismembering ppl's genetilia],while some other CLAIMED there's kampong in singapore,but were unable to name the said kampong,u know who u are,right ? wink-wink...
---did i just tell these ppl to stfu and esad ?
nope,...i bear with it....

had the admin not deleted my previous comments, the context of my question could clearly be seen. when a person refers others as older,it's simply normal to ask what's his/her age 

as a kid,i grew up watching,learning,and admiring  lim kit siang as he endures thru the hegemony of ridicule,harrassment,mockery and insults,not to mention being called 'der clown' and being told to stfu by the MPs of the rulling coalition whenever his opinions differs[which is almost all the time]

and from there that i learned the difference between hipocracy,tirany,bigotry,and true practitioner of democracy.

and so,i can only relate too well when a few comments that contains "creatively arranged words" were deleted,and it shocked me to my core....

which brings my attention to the ADMIN;

now ADMIN,i kno that u have a tough job to do,and it's not an easy one considering the quantity of dolts here who constantly post comments that'ud breach "the article", but tell me how,and in what ways does this,and i quote "sdrow hcus sa hist" constitute a violations of whatever in your minds that needs deletion ?
nowhere did i see any faq/terms of use/disclaimer or even fine print that prohibits such an act that would justify your deletion.

seriously,your indiscrimate deletion of post could result a severe miss-understanding. i could now be seen as having said something that had breach "the act",and that's something that i certainly *did* not.....

stupidity is a condition,not a crime,......as long as it is not illegal to be stupid,treating stupidity with comtempt and discrimination is simply just un-just,and un-democratic...which is why we have consumer's right association to defend stupid consumers when they have been conned.

unless u can come up with an adequate explaination, please.....oh no,...wait,let me rephrase,...I DEMAND that all of the deleted comments[which did not contravene "the act"] be restored to it's original bits and bytes. either they are stupid or otherwise.

u kno,altough you are an admin with ommipotent admin-superpower,bear in mind that u r administering blog.limkitsiang,and not yours,and your action could be seen as his,which he might or might not agree.......

or maybe the admin might be indeed uncle lim himself, in which case it will be a sad day as i will have to denounce one of my favourite idol....hmmmm.....

it's a really tragic irony,
when the very sanctity of democracy,
had been violated,in the hands;.....
the hands of dee;-aaa;-pee.......</description>
