DAP MP for Serdang, Teo Nie Ching failed in her attempt this morning to adjourn Parliament to debate as a definite matter of urgent public importance “the thug and police violence” against residents of Bandar Makhota Cheras (BMC) following the rebuilding of the barricade by the toll concessionaire, Grand Saga.
I spoke briefly at the gathering of BMC residents outside Parliament House this morning, where a long-standing BMC resident, “Mas”, recounted how she fractured her left arm during the “rampage” by thugs on Tuesday night when she and her two young children merely wanted to show support and solidarity for the cause to open the road for public use. (See YouTube)
Another group of BMC residents, together with DAP MPs including Nie Ching, Fong Kui Lun M. Kulasegaran and Lim Lip Eng (also present were Selangor State Exco members Ronnie Liu and Ean Yong Hian Wah) held a media conference at the Parliament lobby to condemn the violence perpetrated against the defenceless public, including press representatives as three were assaulted by the “samsengs” in the Tuesday night rampage.
This outrage must be placed on the agenda of the Cabinet meeting tomorrow for it raises the question whether the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, has the political will to deliver his various promises of reform, whether judiciary, the battle against corruption or the police.
Was the Royal Police Commission, which was established when Abdullah first became Prime Minister more than four years ago, a complete waste of time and money when its recommendation to create an efficient, incorruptible and professional world-class police service proves to be such a mirage as highlighted by the “thug and police violence” at the BMC on Tuesday?

Let’s keep a running PUBLIC LOG on all the efforts that the BN-led government is making to punish the electorate for dumping them in Kelantan, Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor and FT Kuala Lumpur.
1. Blocking the access road that in effect punishes and forces road users, especially BMC residents, to pay 90sen toll to their cronies.
2. Scrapping RapidKL subsidy will force the lower income folk in KL to fork out more in terms of fares across board for all bus fares.
What else…? Let all those BN supporters know how ‘their gomen’ is punishing them as well by puncturing holes in their pockets.

DEAR ALL MALAYSIAN,BN had been in power for 50 years.a lot of things hadbeen done by this goverment to our country.some were good, benefit to our people regardless the races,but some were bad.
But one thing is for sure, they r in power for too long, till they forgotten their duties.so the theory is that we cant allow a party in control for too long.even the PAS/PKR/DAP.Who dare to say that the pakatan rakyat will not repeat the mistake done by the BN people.i am not a BN supporter nor the Pakatan rakyat.I am just an ordinary Malaysian who will support the party who will give benefit to the RAKYAT N OUR BELOVE -Malaysia.

ADAM YONG IBNI ABDULLAH & devilmaster Says:
“you still owe YB Lim an apology.
you still owe devilmaster an apology.
you still owe YB Theresa an apology.”
“”Beside Teresa, don’t ever forget you still owe Uncle Kit an apology too. oops.. i almost forgot, you still owe me an apology too for accusing me of calling Malaysia as Bodohland.”
Had to agree with you guys on calling for an apology.
But
Apology is what you will not get!
Will you apologised for doing your job?
Cluessless BN still sees internet as a form of media to spread lies and dissent.
they still don’t get it.
they thought an eye for an eye is the best recourse.
to them, cheap shot is all they can master, and you do not apologised for doing your job, no matter how lousy and how against your principle is.
A cyberscum, by any other name is still a SCUM!

- My heart goes out to this Madam.
- On top of the request for road access, we need the IPCMC to prevent such tragedies from recurring.
- Has BN not realised that this was part of the reason for their catastrophic loss?
- On hindsight, perhaps BN has not lost enough to realise this ;)

What is a road to the UMNO scumbags when there are bigger fishes to fry. Maybank pays an inflated price of 4.6X book to Temasek to take control of BII in Indonesia. In contrast the average price of a bank in Hong Kong is 2.5X book, and China won’t even allow their banks to pay higher than 2.85X book for new acquisitions.

Are we really stupid or is there a side deal where some of the excess funds will be channeled to ? Killer, is this the typical “bodoh sombong” of your bosses being taken to the cleaners?
#6 by limkamput on Friday, 30 May 2008 - 2:41 pm
Godfather,
One way to find out is to ask the sellers of BII whether they really got the amount paid for by Maybank. May be we should ask Singapore Government to declare exactly how much Tamasek gets from the stake sold. What is the commission like for this deal?
I am beginning to feel depressed when coming here. Do you know what the strategy is now? In this trying time, what the thieves do is to steal as much as they can and to plunder from as many sources as they can get. After all, it is end time for them. Get as much as possible and get out. Create confusion and diversion so that the oppositions really don’t know what to target on now. Even killer, the mah chai of thieves, is getting confused now.

Killer is once again exposed as a blatant liar. your list of apologies is growing. Until you apologize and provide good reasons as to why you have slandered people, don’t expect that anyone here should treat anything you say as nothing more then lies.
MB Khalid is now taking action. He is calling for an EGM and is also asking to check Grand Saga’s accounts to see whether the company’s money was used to pay off the thugs.
The blame should not rest solely on the PR government. What has the Malaysian Highway Authority done throughout this? Nothing. The reason why we don’t make any demands here for the federal government to do anything cause we know exactly on whose side they stand. And its definitely not on the people’s side.

Limkamput:
Temasek is not exactly a transparent vehicle. They will never reveal the commissions they pay to middlemen or con-sultans. Look at the deal that they made with Taksin Shinawatra – full of side letters, side deals, offshore structure, etc.
Back home, these guys are trying to steal as much as possible because if there’s anything useful that they have learnt from March 8, it is the fact that political life is short. Of course they are now trying to hit back at people like Khalid, and they send their cybertroopers like Killer to pollute this and other blogs. Now when we label UMNO as a den of thieves, all Killer can say is “what about Khalid ? Wasn’t he part of the Guthrie privatisation scheme ?”. It was part of UMNO’s grand privatisation schemes under Mahathir, but this part is conveniently forgotten. Just like the ECM Libra case – if the thieves don’t have an answer, just sweep it under the carpet.

“Damocles, please read the Federation of Malaysia Constitution – Police and policing are federal matters. We have national police force, not state police like for example in the U.S.” – Limkamput
Thanks for the enlightenment, Limkamput.
I was of course thinking about the U.S.
In fact, about N.Y. where the mayor did an excellent job of reforming the police.
In fact, if the PR were to become the government, it should have such a system in place.

Stop asking Killer to apologise, guys. He is gone as ‘Killer’ but will be back masquerading under another name.
In any case wasn’t he RealWorld in his previous life?

If in S’pore, those thug who beat up people can be awarded with 3 strokes (or more) of the rotan. should Msia follow this??

Killer has been lying his pants off since he started posting in this blog.
Declares that he knows a lot but in reality all fabrications spun from his addled mind.
I caught him LYING when he claimed that the standard of living for the average Malaysian is almost the same as for the average Singapore and now the Administrator of this blog has hung his sorry behind out to dry for SLANDERING first Kit and now Teresa Kok.

There is only but one solution to this problem, get rid of the BN once & for all, very soon this September. Just hope Anwar will not forget his pledges; cause only this man can save us, anyone else, non-malay will be branded racist. Anything else is just a waste of time, Incompetent leaders, corrupt ministers, inefficient puclic servants, police/FRU acting as thugs, the list is endless, the rot starts at the very top, speads & ends right at the bottom like cancer.
