Will the renaissance man emerge from SBuloh prison as the panda man or “L’Homme au Masque de Fer” (“The Man in the Iron Mask”)?
Y no sound from MCA, MIC, Gerakan politicians?

You are great Mr. Lim.
You coined a very precise words like: The richest unemployed.
Very apt. Full of irony and sarcasm. If any one who fit this term and still not feel ashamed of himself or herself, he must have the skin thicker that hippotamus!
Glad that you did not forget RPK. Yes, RPK has things in common with LGE.
LGE went to jail for fighting a shameless rapist. Wrongly jailed.
Now RPK is aboutto face the same fate. This time is championing the cause of a murdered Mongolians. I pray GOD forbid RPK being jailed for a crime he did not commit. I pray that GOD send Altantunya’s murderers be burned in hell!!!

Dear ilovedap,
You are right. Leave that bloke alone. He/she is like spoilt or nobody’s child crying for attention. Leave him alone and then automatically he/she would shut up. In a way we pity him/her for being a neglected person. Forgive him for badmouthing others for he knows not what he is doing.

lextcs,
It is opposition MP’s duty to check & question goverment policies in parliment. What they r doing now is not ….”fighting for someone else ideology or agenda”, but to restore our Judiciary system, press freedom and transparency, which have been badly jeopardised by recent issues.
U r absolutely right they should debate and argue more on …..inflation and economic issues, but have u ever think about why these foreign inverstors r running away from Malaysia! Worse still… our local genuine investors also shifting thier invesment to other countries. Perhaps u should check transparency, corruption and press freedom index in Google (if u have time) and pls compared with our neighbour country…singapore. These r the basic factors our goverment should get them right before talking about economy and etc.
I hv been working as expat for many years in asia pacific and u know what… when talk about these issues (politics) with other country expat. What a shame….

#13 by Killer on Thursday, 8 May 2008 - 3:31 pm
From NST :
MARINA Lee Abdullah, wife of jailed Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin, has just informed the New Straits Times that to say that she has met her husband.
In a phone call to this reporter, she said she is now on the way to the PJ Sessions Court to post bail and added that Raja Petra has agreed to the bail.
Raja Petra Kamaruddin, who was charged with sedition, did not want to meet anyone, his family or his lawyer when Marina visited him at the Sungai Buloh prison yesterday morning.
Yet another bizarre act by the great “Drama Swasta” hero. I think he is losing the plot..oops..he has lost it.
People, it doesn’t require any courage to lambast and post lies about your opponents. Just ask the 18 year old Johor boy…All needed is a healthy dose of cowardice.
RPK, if you really has guts, please present the confidential documents to prove your case to the whole world to see. That way you will win a moral war and bring down the BN govt as you had wanted. No one will rust AAP and Najib if you could do that.
But if you can’t then, you should just shut up and gulung tikar. We want people with substance and not some tin kosongs.

I am just amazed.. I was showing and translating what was happening in the dewan Rakyat to my australian friends.
And you know what was the 1st impression that he said.
Why was that MP from *Kinabatangan* acting like a mafia..
i explain to him * about the point of ordered that was occurring and he was amazed that He is really even given respectful for the parliment. walking out when he does not have the chance to talk and using 2 verses of point of order that does not even make sense..
* my opinion is just that this Mp should really learn to absorb what people are speaking instead of making judgment before even speaking about it.. it is really embarrassing

Lextcs, I think you are losing the plot. You think without RPK and his blog, Malaysia Today, our voices will be heard? Try writing your unpopular and unwelcome viewpoints in your own blog and see if it gets noticed? Aren’t you also hanging on to a greater blog such as this to get your small-minded thoughts across?
All those things that you mentioned “double parkings, random parkings, beating traffic lights, throwing rubbish, etc.” are justifiably, everyday matters and worries for the people in the streets as well, but they are not major. How the government is treating us, the rakyat, our freedom, our share of fair treatment, the equitability of our citizenship are issues which are uppermost and are more important. This is the BIG PICTURE, and RPK personifies this by providing the truth, helping the regular man in the street who have no other alternative in voice to fight for fairness and freedom, through his blog. For you to use examples as mentioned above in comparison to the BIG PICTURE shows your “katak di bawah tempurung” mentality – small-minded, mean and myopic. For you to come in here to this blog and try to demean all that we have stood for, to make scathing remarks and to try to influence some to stand by your pro-BN tendencies is a foolhardy thing to do. For it will not only be I or the several few who will keep rebutting you, but so also will many others if you continue with your rubbish in this blog.

It is clear that the Barisan Nasional still “sleeping” and doesn’t care anything about us even they do not get 2/3 majority, let’s make them 1/3 majority in the next election to make them really wake up (probably too late). If they really care about our country, they should stop their corruption and care about the country as what Tun Mahathir said. Pak lah is gone for good now, can’t see him in parliament or public these days, maybe tidur in his Australia luxury house or go to Switzerland to do his ice-skating already
I am predicting our country will start transforming to communist, all the bloggers need to register themselves with the Ministry of Cyber Department via online like China :D (Bloggers not immune to law – http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/5/8/nation/21183139&sec=nation).
Blog meaning in dictionary – on-line shared diary where people can publish diary entries about their personal hobbies or experiences; public online updated chronological entries of links to web sites and subjects with personal remarks by users, weblog <- Probably the BN doesn’t know how to read dictionary or they do not understand the meaning of personal hobbies, personal remarks or experience.
In addition, crimes+illegal foreigner+corruptions+freedom will keep raise and getting “better”, not to say things like no salary raise, price+gas hike and etc.

With reference to the Bintulu yb’s challenge to repeat outside parliament, why not take it up? Can easily be shown from CCM/ROC’s records that he had interest(control) of the company that sold the land to the public listed company for a massive profit which in turn sold the land to the port klang authority. The same company also got the development contract i understand?

I think you had said it very well.
There are bigger issues need to be addressed than some confused millionaire than RPK who thinks he is the gift to the mankind.
I agree that many people here talk about change but unwilling to change themselves. They want democratic rights, personal freedom, equality and prosperity as in the First World but behave like the uncultured masses from some Third World nations. You are right to point out the rampant acts of poor civic consciousness and a lack of respect to law and order by Malaysians, including the educated ones.
Even politically, the level of maturity is low. Reading this blog is an eye opener and a proof that we Malaysians do not deserve First World rights and privilages. While most of the people here are all for greater human rights, but their words and actions do not support such view. Contradicting views (like yourself) are treated as a threat and with contempt. Very often dissenting views are shouted down.
It boggles my mind that how could anyone like RPK could ever be hailed as a hero when all he does is writing fictional stories to pass off as truth to attack his opponents.
#21 by Killer on Thursday, 8 May 2008 - 6:08 pm
The behaviour of MPs from both sides are disgraceful. Don’t just talk about MP from Kinabatangan. YB LKS seems to have changed completely and behave like a Rambo, possessed by hubris and self-importance.
We did not vote you in to criticise BN but to keep them in check and for the betterment of the nation. Your childish spat with and attack of Khairy (not that he is innocent) is not something expected from someone of your stature.
Uncle Kit focus on real issues and not on scoring political points or chest beatings.
#22 by ShiokGuy on Thursday, 8 May 2008 - 6:20 pm
Dear lextcs
About drive like a mad dog On the Road, what are you doing to help?
Can I suggest that you help to photographer it and email them to me?
and I will post in here..
http://shiokguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Traffic
I usually take picture of those traffic offender and document the act on my blog, go to menu and click On The Road.
So if you want to tackle the double parking, jumping queue etc. Do you part and take picture and email them to me with some explanation. Cool?
Talking about doing is easy
Carrying it out is another thing
We should do our part for a better society.
Only when we are the victim of abuse then we awake.
it will be too late to cry fool.
What happen if this abuse is affect us, our children or…

Uncle Lim,
You comment to Khairy is not what we would like to see. I know it is fun to poke fun like what you did. I love to do it too.
With respect to my elder like you, can I sincerely request that you and all the PR MP stood tall without going down to the same level?
If I am using the Rakyat, I hereby instruct you and all PR MP not to stood low to the same level as BN’s MP. OK?

Lim Kit Siang. It was very painful watching that video. Why are you badgering people when making a point. Why can’t you speak calmly and act a bit more presidential. You sounded whiny and your message was lost. I’ve always supported DAP but I was very dissapointed when I saw the video. This is the first time I’ seeing you speak and I didn’t like what I saw. Quit the grandstanding, there are more pressing issues at hand.

All those involved in the arrest of RPK are cowards. Only cowards abuse power. So, what judiciary reform when still practice “guilty until proven innocent”. Is this the law of a democratic country?

Look like our Parliament got 2 clowns from Pasir Salak & Kinabatangan. They seem to be more interested in the blue book than to the issues. Obviously, their main job is to distract. These 2 should be thrown out of Parliament by the Speaker for constant disruption istead of asking questions.

Granted that “tin kosong” can be intepreted as free speech. But the last time I checked, free speech doesn’t give you immunity against law or absolves one against their responsibility for their actions.

Why should it boggles your mind since you do believe that even the educated Malaysians are gullible, believing everything that is posted?
You can write pretty well yourself so you do have all the neccesary attributes to be a hero too.
A bit of advice though – Rome wasn’t built in a day so you might want to consider starting slowing. Sell to an easier audience. Build up some momentum and confidence. Get a coach etc.
You should not start with a tough crowd like this one.

After 5 years into the meritocracy system, I am surprised shocked to know that the percentage of Chinese in local universities is only 12%, Indians 3.2% and bumiputra as high as 79.9%!
Are we really practising meritocracy or it is only lip service by the government? Imagine, Chinese and idians combined only make up to 15.2%. This is the reply in parliament and it cannot be wrong.
What the MCA and Gerakan have been doing in the past?
I am not trying to be racist, but something must be seriously wrong with the BN government. Where is the fairness?
#41 by chu on Tuesday, 13 May 2008 - 12:03 pm
Mr Lim Kit Siang,
I truly greatful for what u did for our country. Please read this.
There are a few worries as below:
1) Friend from East M’sia told me that there are a lot of recruitment into PKR are happening now at East M’sia. We surely hope that there will be a balance among Pakatan Rakyat ’s parties and no one party becomes much bigger than the rest (like what happen in BN). So we also hope that DAP will recruit more members at East M’sia as well before it’s too late to do so.
2) Although 308 incident gives us hope, but still a lots of our Malays friends been influenced by primary media especially people from rural areas. Hope DAP can look into this and try to gain more support from the Malay community.
3) If I remember correctly, we have no civic subject in school and Malaysian overall is lack of civic knowledge. We hope Pakatan Rakyat can look into this before next election, and eventually hope that civic subject will be restored back into secondary education.
4) Most Malaysian nowadays are lack of history knowledge except only history on the good side of the ruling parties, for example there were parties which had already fight for independent even way before umno and the rest did. We sure think history can be a strong comparison or examples for the people to become more race-less and liberal.
5) Some of press are truly scary in their statement and obviously biased to the government. By statistic Utusan is the worst. It effects people especially from rural areas, a lots. Replacing press management is impossible, but how to make the people realize the truth and boycott the press may still doable.
Lastly, we hope that people of Malaysia will see clearly and don’t just focus on the physical matter (example how steady or stylist when our assemblyman talk) but focus more on issue brought up and how they defend their right in the parliament (when speaker become biased). The more knowledgeable the people became, the less monkey that talk nonsense in the parliament.
Thanks.
