I had said at a media conference in Ipoh this morning that the Home Minister, Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar and Deputy Home Minister, Datuk Chor Chee Heung, should resign from their Cabinet positions for the three-month suspension of Harakah and Suara Keadilan as one of first decisions of Datuk Seri Najib Razak on being sworn in as the sixth Prime Minister yesterday was to immediately revoke their ban which had entered into its 11th day.
Now, I say that Hamid and Tan Sri Musa Hassan should be sacked as Home Minister and Inspector-General of Police respectively for failing within 24 hours of Najib’s premiership one of the three Najibian thematic slogans – “1Malaysia. People First. Performance Now.”
It is most disgraceful and testimony of gross incompetence and ineptitude that although Najib announced in his maiden address to the nation over television last night that his government had decided “with immediate effect” the release of 13 detainees from ISA detention, none of the 13 could be released today and the earliest they could regain their freedom is tomorrow.
B. Buvaneswary, the wife of detained Hindraf leader Ganapathi Rao, travelled all the way from her home in Shah Alam to Kamunting with their two children, Janani 1 and Gowri 4, to be at the Kamunting Detention Centre at 7 am this morning for his release, only to be disappointed because the papers for the release of the 13 had not arrived at the centre.
Musa Hassan released a statement in Kuala Lumpur at midday that the 13 would only be allowed to leave the Kamunting Detention Centre tomorrow as the documentation process for their release had to be completed first!
Is this what Najib meant by “Performance Now” in his maiden address to the nation last night?
Were the IGP and the Home Minister kept completely in the dark about Najib’s announcement of the “immediate release” of the 13 ISA detainees, learning only about it when the new Prime Minister’s maiden address was telecast live last night?
If so, it reflects a shambolic government with no notion whatsoever about “People First” or “Performance Now”!
When Najib announced the “immediate release” of the 13 ISA detainees in his direct telecast at 8 pm last night, I had expected the two Hindraf leaders, Ganabairau and R. Kenghadharan, and the other 11 ISA detainees to be released last night itself – especially when Najib ended his maiden speech with the flourish of urging Malaysians to “rise up to the challenge of building 1Malaysia. People First. Performance Now.”
Obviously, Najib forgot to ask the Cabinet and the public service to equally “rise up” to the triple challenge of “1Malaysia. People First. Performance Now.”
When Najib said “with immediate effect”, could it be so elastic as to be stretched not only overnight, but to be over 24, 36 or even 48 hours?
Najib should learn from the lessons of his predecessor Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, whose “cemerlang, gemilang, terbilang” slogan swiftly became a national joke. But Najib’s substitute of “1Malaysia. People First. Performance Now” is in danger of becoming a national joke within 24 hours – thanks to the Home Minister and the Inspector-General of Police!
Can Najib ensure that Ganabatirau, Kengaharan and the 11 others ISA detainees would be able to leave the Kamunting Detention Centre to breathe the air of freedom latest by 8 am tomorrow?
In fact, the government is guilty of unlawful detention of the 13 ISA detainees as they should be released “with immediate effect” by the time of Najib’s telecast at 8 p.m. last night.
Is the government going to pay the 13 ISA detainees compensation for illegal detention for 24, 36 or 48 hours to demonstrate the seriousness of Najib’s “Performance Now” slogan?

And oi cintanegara, zak, chengho and gang. See. Najib say one malaysia. Meaning we all same same. Chinese, Javanese, Archenese, Sumatran, Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis, Thais, etc etc we all same same. That means we all confirmed pendatang. Now we all same same malaysians. That means no malay rights. No privilege. No NEP.
Hei najib bro dont forget to abolish malay reserved land and malay quota and special discount for malay buyers in new housing development. And UiTM. We all same same now. So our children all orso can apply to enter UiTM.

LKS,
I do feel that you’re being a unreasonably impatient here. Again you are showing us your penchant of barking up the wrong tree. It is obvious that some paperwork needs to be done before such a release can be made. While I am sure the detainees don’t want to spend a single day longer in detention, still there are procedures to be followed.
taiking,
Maybe you should add these few items as well to your long list of `1Malaysia’ concepts ….. abolish all vernacular schools, BM to be the language of all schools.. what say you? ok?

“Lim Kit Siang, cuba belajar jadi orang sabar dan bukannya jadi orang bodoh.” (kluangman)
Kluangman,
Sebenarnya, YB Lim bukanlah orang bodoh kerana YB Lim sudah sedar bahawa Boss baru awak adalah orang yang kurang pandai dan tidak tahu banyak mengenai bagaimana pegawai-pegawai Polis menjalankan tugas di Malaysia.
Maklumat yang diberikan oleh YB Lim dalam laman blog ini akan menjadi sesuatu kenangan yang baik untuk selalu mengingatkan Boss baru awak supaya beliau tidaklah ulangkan kesalahan buat kali lain kerana sudah membuat sesuatu keputusan tergesa-gesa atas pemindaan dasar kerajaan atau perubahan perintah kerajaan tanpa meminta nasihat terdahulu daripada pegawai tinggi kerajaan. Ini kerana terdapat ramai orang Napolean kecil atau Napolean besar di kalangan pegawai-pegawai kerajaan Malaysia. Pegawai-pegawai tinggi ini tidaklah suka mengikut perintah daripada orang atasan termasuk orang politik tinggi yang paling berkuasa seperti Perdana Menteri.
Kalau disuruh kerja lebih masa (Overtime) pada Hari Sabtu ataupun Hari Minggu, pegawai Napolean kecil atau pegawai Napolean besar mestilah dapat alasan baik untuk menangguhkan persiapan kerja hingga Hari Isnin. Alasan-alasan seperti “tukang taip tutup handphone dan tidak dapat dihubungi” ataupun “Server termati pada Hari Sabtu dan Hari Ahad dan komputer tidak boleh digunakan” adalah alasan yang biasa disebut. Moral kerja di pejabat kerajaan sudah lama terosak dan aku mengesyaki bahawa Dato Seri Najib sanggup buat apa-apa untuk membetulkan kerosakan moral kerja ini.
Janganlah awak hanya pandai mengecam Pak Lah sahaja kerana kelemahan Pak Lah sebagai pemimpin lemah dan tidak pandai mengecam Najib jika Najib sudah menunjukkan bahawa diri sendirinya juga adalah pemimpin yang lemah dan tidak dihormati oleh pegawai-pegawai tinggi kerana perintah pertamanya sebagai perintah daripada seseorang Perdana Menteri untuk melepaskan dengan serta-merta 13 orang tahanan bawah ISA sudah enggan dipatuhi secara bersungguh-sungguh oleh pegawai-pegawai tinggi yang menjaga Kem Tahanan Kamunting.
Janganlah awak suruh YB Lim belajar jadi orang sabar dalam kes seperti ini. Pak Lah sudah terkenal sebagai seseorang pemimpin yang bersabar tetapi kesabarannya selalu disalahfaham sebagai tanda kelemahan dan lambang tidak boleh memimpin. Kalau Najib nak jadi orang sabar, satu hari kelak beliau juga akan dikecam sebagai pemimpin lemah dan akan disingkirkan oleh segala Rakyat jelita juga.
#11 by Godfather on Saturday, 4 April 2009 - 6:35 pm
Very predictable modus operandi of UMNO. First, you put some innocent people in jail. Then when you release them when you need a publicity boost, never mind that the detainees were never charged in the first place.
Next you say something about reviewing some legislation that the entire country wants to see repealed – but of course you can’t repeal it because it works to your advantage. Not from the view of justice, but from the view of political expediency.
Then you reduce prices of some goods or reduce taxes….but then the government no longer has any money, so this might be out of the question for the time being.
Look out for more populist moves….perhaps pictures of Rosie kissing newborn babies’ backsides….
The real test will be in the composition of the cabinet – whether it is the return of Mahathirism and more of the same “business-as-usual” attitude of a coalition that is already bankrupt of ideas for change.

Pre-primary tricks. Try something more sophisticated man!
One Malaysia to me means all the races in malaysia i.e. chinese, archenese, javanese, sumatran, thai, arab, indian, pakistani, iban, kadazan, etc etc are all the same. No NEP. No special rights or privilege for any race. If One Malaysia means anything else then it is meaningless umno trickery again.

I am not a racist like you. And my proposal is not racist for it does not favour any one race. Quite the contrary, my proposal is about removing race favouritism elements from our present system. Vernacular schools has no element of race favouritism like nep like uitm like bumi discounts like malay reserved land like bumi only glc contracts etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. Get it or not?

“Hindraf family members express gratefulness to PM for releasing their husbands and fathers.” (TTDI_KL)
TTDI_KL,
That kind of gratitude expression only shows that several Hindraf leaders who have a few kind-hearted and thankful members in their family were wrongfully detained by the UMNO tyrannic government for the past 17 months and these family members warmly welcome the decision of seeing their loved ones to be released unconditionally by the tyrannic government.
“I guess the detention works. After a while, you just want to forget everything and go home, am I right?” Such a comment may be a little bit of inhumane and inconsiderate. ISA detention camp is like a hell. Of course, it is much better for the detainees to be released from the solitary confinment than to die in the camp!
I have great compassion with the ISA detainees. I should say “thank God” for they are being released from the inhumane solitary confinement!

You said “thank God” and i agree. I hope you know this group of cavemen are not God.

ISA detention camp is like a hell, I repeat! Anwar Ibrahim was politically doing a correct thing when he made a request for the draconian ISA to be abolished in his recent ceramah.
If Najib refuses to abolish the ISA, then the Rakyat of Malaysia shall go all out to defeat Najib in each and every contest in the by-elections! We should not continue to allow the ISA to be continually placed in the hand of a wrong person who would tend to abuse this draconian law in order to fulfill the malicious and selfish personal goals of maintaining the power grip for purpose of looting the national wealth.
Let’s say “NO” to ISA!

We Malaysians always think there is a simple solution to a complex problem. Don’t be too sure if we have abolished ISA, all problems in the country will be resolved. Singapore too has ISA. Remember Anuar and Guan Eng went to jail not under ISA and because of that they were subsequently barred from politics for years. Do you guys genuinely believe that Anuar and Guan Eng were guilty under the respective laws? ISA is alright, it is the abuse of ISA. If the Government can abuse ISA, it can abuse anything under the sun.

1Malaysia. People First. Performance Now
I doubt 1Malaysia can be achieved within the lifetime of PM Najib as long as we have this Bumi-Non-bumi divide among us. I suggest PM Najib do exactly the opposite of what TDM did during his reign. To achieve quality education, we have to adopt the Look-West or Look-South (Singpore) Policy instead of TDM’s Look-East Policy (to learn work ethics only). Yes, PM Najib, you’re right. Quality education is the all-important prerequisite if our Malaysia is to make a quantum leap in all fields. Don’t listen to TDM all the time. I personally feel that he is anti-Western and anti-Singapore, too.

I am here for proper debates. Your extreme name callings etc upon me is irrelevant and only reflects badly upon your own personality and yourself. Like I have said before, when people like you stoop to such lows, that normally means that you are incapable of proper and quality debates and are just trying to divert attention from your own incompetencies by attacking others with rubbish and utter gibberish. :)
a g
We will have to wait and see what exactly DS Najib means by 1Malaysia in the days and weeks to come. But 1Malaysia does not have to mean that all of us are the same like what taiking is trying to espouse. In my view, 1Malaysia could mean establishing a common bond and identity that would cut across all religions, race, culture etc. The US seems to have got this right. I also get the same sense when talking with my Brazilian and Venezuelan friends.
taiking,
I never said that we should limit our younger generation to learning BM only right? Again, please don’t put words into my mouth! Understand or do you need to spell it out to you word by word? I said that BM as our national language should be the common language that binds us together. I strongly believe English should continue to be stressed upon, plus not forgetting that those who wish to pursue learning other languages such as Mandarin and Tamil should also be allowed to do so. Vernacular is not racist but it prevents us from forming a common identity. Even DAP’s famous Malaysian Malaysia concept will never be a reality if all our children go to different schools!
TTDI_KL, AhPek,
A constitution of the country is a product of the majority of the people’s wishes. When the constitution was amended, it was amended by a group of parliamentarians who were put there again by the majority of the people. As such these amendments are valid and legal even if they are changed many times if there is a need for it. It is fine if you disagree with the constitution. Vote for someone who can gain 2/3rds majority in the parliament and they can amend the constitution as per the wishes of the people who put them there in the first place. This is what democracy is all about!
