One fine day, after over 2 decades, Dr.LKY woke up & start to talk a bit of sense…or is it that he just realised after 2 decades what was really going on…when the rakyat knew about it all the time??? Wow, this means he beats PM AAB record for being the slumber king.

Ha ha ha. Now we can be proud that Malaysia got Richest Beggar & Richest Unemployed. Probably in the world. Someone should call Guiness Book of Records.

Oh ya, we also got Six Million Dollar Man.

So, who can be Darth Vader & Yoda? We all know who can be Chewbacca…that BN-MP from Sabah, only a bit short.

Cool, we got an entire Star Wars saga characters in our parliament…someone call George Lucas.

I say YAB LKS = Obi Wan. Tony Pua = Luke Skywalker.

Hope to bring some comic relief…this political blog manyak tension.

Ah Pek just want to redeem himself. Try to be a hero now. Afraid that we all forget him. Still want his photo in MSM. He should spend his time & millions (or billions?) learning how to speak properly (in all languages) in the university that he holds as Chancellor. I certainly won’t send my kids there! May come back & talk like him…scary.

We all know who are the true heroes of democracy – DAP. Whatever Ah Pek says now don’t matter. We all know who are the super rich beggars in BN.

This orong tua ah Pek Lim Kheng Yaik, now is brave to said BN HAVE no equal right to other race, during his time as ministers, he said nothing, too late for now to said after GERAKAN hapus in Penang, As a reader you must brave to openly talk,and not to talk after you retired, people won’t listen anymore

I like to make myself clear – Former Gerakan deputy Sec-Gen Lee Kah Choon who came in on DAP’s invitation is of course an exception.

Mr Keng Yaik now ‘realised’ that he and his BN component fellas have been beggars?
What open his eyes now to see the realities which the Rakyat have been enduring this sorry state of affairs for the past 50 years of UMNO hegemony?
This is totally a whimper’s excuse to complain too late after 22 years of begging. Before no BN component beggar would dare to complain this shits!

Mr Keng Yaik and the likes of him beggars, I believe are not beggars in the true sense, if it were, why got their sons to be beggars as well? Who in their right mind would want to be beggars if he knows it is a hopeless situation to beg and worse to be treated as 2nd class for life.

What about being a ‘berbuat’ beggar with all the ‘kangtau’ to ensure a good life post beggar politics? A real life beggar on the street can only dream of this.

You think the Rakyat will appreciate this beggar story which you, Mr.Keng Yaik has to endure for 22 years for the Rakyat? The Rakyat are no fools not to see beyond this hopeless ‘act’ of voluntary begging on behalf of the Rakyat, who in the end will benefit nothing except the BN berbuat beggars themselves who will be better off than the Rakyat!

We Rakyat don’t need to BEG! BN HAS TO BEG TO STAY RELEVANT!

Oh no! When we came out to support and voted in DAP/Pakatan Rakyat, we did not expect to them to be the convenient receptacle for MCA, Gerakan and MIC trash did we? If we had wanted them we would have voted BN didn’t we? If this trend is allowed to continue, soon PR will be no different from BN eh?

Maybe it’s time for Gerakan to seriously consider to merge with DAP for political relevance. Mr Lee Kah Choon has made the wise decision by diverting to DAP??

Many thanks for your belated admission, beggar minister. So that is what the coolie fellows of MIC were doing behind the rubber trees! Lim Keng Yaik thought they were fornicating, not tapping. All of us were wrong – they were begging! Nothing wrong for a Malaysian from a Malaysian valiantly to beg, but bloody fools, use a very large bowl will you?

YB LKS,

Just read that your DAP ADUN for Jelapang, Ms Hee Yit Foong, is on shaky ground and may cross over to either MCA or Gerakan very soon becuz she was not happy to be left out of the EXCO list. What is all this rubbish? Is this true? Can you confirm her position?

Seems your SAs in Perak is very open to such moves n all like to merajuk…starting from PK Foong, then Sivasubramaniam and now rumours of Ms Hee….Ai yoh…dun take us Rakyat to be fools lah.

We are looking at great chances of PR becoming the next Govt in the very near future but here we have merajuk SAs trying to show her popularity…please sir, she won becuz she is on the Opposition ticket not on her own popularity ok?

Pls say something so we Rakyat can have less stress of such a stupid move….Thank you.

Keng Yaik, what a pitiful spectacle you have made out of yrself and BN component parties – all those past bravadoes now giving way to confessions of dripping hypocrisy. AT least, you are courageous and honest even though it’s somewhat of a Johnny-come-lately confession of what EVERYBODY had known all along.

Sad thing also for Tun M. It’s another slap on his face. This fella doesn’t desrve his Tun-ship for all the wrecks, mishaps and mess he’s caused, if you ask for my honest opinion. But it’s only my opinion. Anyone concurs?

MCA, Gerakan and MIC do not even live up to their self-denigrated status of “beggars”.
A beggar begs for himself and may be his family as well. His accomplishment can be measured on a daily basis, based on his “collection” at the end of each day.
After 50 years, MCA, Gerakan and MIC, having awaken from their long slumber as beggars, still have no alms in their open palms to show to their communities. MCA and Gerakan had consistently failed to convey the aspirations and concerns of the Chinese community to UMNO. They hide their cowardice behind the smoke-screen “we will do it the BN way, we discuss behind closed doors.” When did they ever disclose to us the end result of their “behind closed door” meetings? NEVER.
If they had admitted to us that they are politically impotent to fight for our rights and that they may have to represent us to “beg” for our rights from UMNO, we would have admired their guts and respect their sacrifice for the good of the communities. But they lied to us all along, pretending that they can defend and advance our community’s rights.
We knew they were beggars, but they denied it. Only when the “chain of self interests” which bound the corrupt politicians together had been broken (by virtue of the fact that the leaders of MCA. Gerakan and MIC are no longer in the Govt), they finally located their conscience and started to tell the truth.
I have a close friend who is a veteran of Gerakan. He used to brim with pride for being a Gerakan member. He holds the strong belief that Gerakan Ministers and Govt officials are not corrupt. I argued with him that corruption does not mean one has to steal from the country or Rakyat to be corrupt. If Gerakan, which is part of the BN Govt, stands idle and watch the UMNOputras and cronies stealing the country blind, then Gerakan is as corrupt as UMNO because it is abetting UMNO in these corrupt activities. He agreed with me.
After the 8 Mar GE, I asked how he felt since Gerakan had been totally wiped out from Penang. His reply stunned me. “I am very HAPPY, Gerakan may have lost but the Rakyat won.” he exclaimed.
Lim Guan Eng had just uncovered the massive fraudulent land deal relating to the PGCC. Koh Tsu Koon may not be corrupt per se, but he facilitated the UMNOputras and cronies
in reaping “windfall profits” at the expense of the State Govt and the Rakyat. If LGE’s allegations turn out to be true, then Gerakan would be totally uprooted from Penang.
I do not mean to denigrate or show disrespect to KTK but rather to assist him in doing a self “mystic” evaluation. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of face-reading can tell that KTK has the face of a scholar (??) and not that of a high Govt official (???)?When one career is not congruent with the dictates of destiny, the end result will be disappoint

Cinapek,

Even some low rank Putras can tell Keng Yaik and Tsu Koon to shut up in parliament, what are the chances they will accept being told off in the public? None.

And you think UMNO cares even if this “beggar ex minister” makes this revelation? Pak Lah indirectly said in public a few days ago that UMNO actually did ok in the GE, insinuating that BN’s loss of two third in Parliament was caused by the non UMNO members of the BN, not because UMNO treated their partners like dirt.

LOng before this I had started calling the MCA “eunuchs” and told them not to practise appeasement politics, which in history has proven to be disastrous time and again. If UMNO can do things that can damage your party in public then by all means tell them off in public as well. Not the same old rubbish of settling things behind closed doors.

Gerakan can close shop and join DAP or PKR while Lim Keng Yaik can go and watch Spice Girls concert. End of story.

It is disgusting to hear LKY make such a statement only after leaving office. LKY knew full well that if he made such a comment while still in office, the Chinese community would hold him responsible and pressure him to bargain with UMNO. By so doing, he risked losing his ministerial job and the “goodies” that went with the post.

He made very sure that he would only speak after he had stocked up enough wealth and after he had retired!
