Yes frankyapp. And I would vote umno out any time. I would do so even if we do not have a viable alternative government in place. Fortunately, we do. Toyo and gang is doing us a mighty great favour by plucking the rotten apples away from the pakatan tree. Come next election, pakatan would be clean and lean and therefore strong – quite unlike umno a party full of deadlogs, re-cycled/re-used politicians and crooks (well errr good crooks, lembudin may say).

Encik Kassim Amat. I do not know who you are and you do not know who I am. We respect each others opinion. I will welcome you to have a cup of tea and hope that our discussion will throw some lights on how serious is corruption in this country. I am sure you will not like this country to go to the dogs as some corrupted country is. From statistics, there is no corrupt country in the world that can be a developed country. Please let me know if you can name me one. For a starter please visit my blog http://www.towardsgoodgovernance.blogspot.com
to have an idea about how corruption is deviced and perhaps I can direct you to see how it actually takes place.
I respect you opinion in saying that PR is not clean which I interpret it as PR is also corrupted.
Lets not fight to say which party is corrupted or not corrupted. LETs fight together against corruption, whether it is BN or PR. This malaise must be removed or at least for the start effective steps must be taken to curbed it.

Taiking,Umnoputra’s corruption is liken to a final cancer disease which is incureable.Come 2010,under Umno/Bn,the CPI would be 56 +++,you can be sured of it.Yhsiew,you have been mistaken.The fact of the matter is “corruption” is all the time on their mind,every moment,second,minute,hour ,day,week,month and year.In other word,365/366 days,corruption stays firm and rooted on their mind. I think voters can up root it,it’s the one and only demoncratic way to do it.

Whenever there is umno, there is corruption.
Without corruption, umno cannot survive.
umno still thinking that this is mamaktair era the dark fog.

I am not at all surprised by Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin’s decision to reject Kit’s motion.

People who have been in “corruption business” for so long will eventually become numb (no feeling) to what corruption means.

The word “corruption” probably does not exist in UMNO’s vocabulary by now.

Corruption is umnoputras’ rice bowl. It is one of their many basic needs like sex. How can it ever be taken away? That would tantamount to an infringement of their fundamental rights!

k1980 : Just as 1+1 = 2, so Rasuah = umno and Rasuah + umno = malaysia boleh

Thema new synonym for the word 'Rasuah' should be included in KAMUS DEWAN SYNONYM FOR 'RASUAH' =UMNO, MAKAN SUAP, KORUPSI

1. #26 by sightseeing on Thursday, 19 November 2009 – 5:15 am
Kit’s motion: {Parliament must urgently debate the TI CPI 2009 ranking and score for Malaysia to take urgent and remedial measures to check the country going down the road of a failed state}
Expected reply by Speaker Pandikar Amin: {The issue is of public interest but is not urgent. The Prime Minister has clarified that money politics is not corruption. Therefore TI CPI 2009 is technically wrong to consider money politics as corruption.}
—————————–
Uncle Kit,

The above predicted outcome was posted before your motion in Parliament. This speaker .. all he does is to read out the standard script in response to any motion moved by the opposition.

Are those westerners morons?
Possibly, but perhaps they’re numerate morons! I think people get confused by the large numbers involved in China’s recent success (because it had lots of success in the distant past, it just ‘took a break’ for a while) and the size of the country and enormous number of people involved.

I saw FDI mentioned, and went hunting for the figures. There are lots of tables listing total FDI, and China is right there near to the top of them. Check out this table of FDI per capita, which appears to me to be a more meaningful indicator of what we should individually feel as the result of FDI:

If you’re in a hurry, Malaysia is #91. If you’ve got the time to peruse the bottom of the list, you might notice some highly desirable emigration destinations with extreme negative FDIs. It seems to me that FDIs are not alone a sufficient indicator of national success.

I’d like to apologize to kasim amat regarding my comment in #11. I did not mean to insult your allegiance to UMNO. I’m just stating what the majority of malaysians think, in fact the PKR people were once from UMNO and they think the same. Sorry mate, bad luck.

Like I said,Kasim Amat is one of those who idolised and would come all out to defend Umno/Bn at all costs even it’s pretty clear of its corrupted practice.Kasim disputed the Westerner’s CPI for Malaysia and it’s okay for it’s his right.But can he dispute the vast majority of the people feeling that the Umno/BN regime is a corrupted regime since 1957 ?

I like the comment #7 by En Kasim Amat.The Westerners purposely downgraded Malaysia to discourage investment into Malaysia.What about China, index shows corruption is rampant but still drawing the biggest Foreign Direct Investment(FDI).Are those westerners morons?Come on, we cannot be so narrow minded.I think En Kasim do not have the facts correct.If UMNO,MCA & MIC are not corrupted then he must have been a newborn.

We least expect such a motion will be allowed. Its normal as we will never expect any sincerity to fight corruption. This disease has really out of control now. It has spread wide and deep. It has been a culture sort of thing.

For a start this how BN can cling to power for such a long long time. All their supporters are feed by corrupted money otherwise who want to fight till die for a cawangan head in any of the division.

We also seen the MCA suo shear their tears openly when come to known they have been drop from their CC. Any one think they are sincere in serving the people? They all want the position so that they get some easy money. It all the same in BN components parties.

hahahahahaha…”Not urgent”…I guess Mr.Speaker will soon be as Tun.
And our Kasim Amat’s is saying is mind is better than LKS. This typical UMNO guy.. respond to the 56th position… as purposely done by Westerners.. to dis courage investors coming into Malaysia.
What a stupid idiotic excuse that is….treating investors like idiots too…do not know how to survey each country they wish to invest by their own people…social..economical…political…logistic..PLUS…how free are they…to invest here.
The signs shows..all investors must offer bribes in Malaysia..to get things done.

The West must understand that Corruption is the life blood of UMNO.
UMNO will collapse of anemia without corruption.
In fact Corruption is to Malaysia as Football is to Brazil.

Mr Lim must be out of his mind. We are all aware that such index is just something created by the Western countries, with the intention to tarnish the images of some fast developing countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia. The index is aiming to downplay the importance of Malaysia and discourage investors from investing in this country. We should not be paying much attention to this index. Instead, we should continue to fight for corruption in our own way and maintain prosperity for the society.
