From NST online Sat 16/2/08
///Abdullah and his wife, Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah, were accompanied by Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharum in the special aircraft from Kuala Lumpur.

They were greeted by Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid, Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin, state executive councillors and state government officers upon their arrival at the Sultan Abdul Halim airport in Kepala Batas at 9.50am.

Abdullah is scheduled to open a Muda Agriculture Development Authority (Mada) road in Yan in the morning and meet with Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders at the Kelab Cinta Sayang in the
afternoon.///

Does the road in Yan longer than other toll ways reuire a PM to open it. Even if it is, why can it be open a week earlier, or a few weeks later. A caretaker PM is to take care of ordinary administration, and opening a road is not duties expected of PM of a caretaker government, at least that would never have happened to any caretaker government in the world. Surely UMNO has enough money to send AAB to Yan for campaigning, as the trip was clearly meant to do just that.

What is role of the PM’s wife in opening the road in Yan? She causes more fuel to be burnt by the aircraft. Does AAB reimburse the government, even if arguably that he was on official duty. His wife had no offical role in that duty he performed.

Hindraf demonstration aims at discrediting the BN government. That is political. The police roadblock serves to teach Indians a lesson on what they can expect if Hindraf continues with the activities. They think that in harassing the Indians in private cars, anger might be directed at Hindraf organisers, and demonstration could stop. Whether the strategy would work or not is not of concern. What is obvious to all and sundries is that the police is serving BN interest to discourage Hindraf. So, the neutral force of the Police Department has been misused by UMNO-led government to victimise Indians. The caretaker government is making use of Police Force to serve party interest. Worse still, UMNO is demonstrating that Indians are undesirable elements in the society. They have to be subject to public humiliation where they have been deprived of the right to free movement without being questioned by the police force. Their legitimacy in the country has been made to be much below illegal immigrant workers, or visitors to this land.

Had the Police Force been performing their duties, there would not have been the need to direct water cannons against a group of unarmed peaceful demonstrators. It is because the stupid top government leaders hoped to stop all demonstration to give impression to the world that all is well in the country , that the unthinking Police Chief had carried out the order obediently and that ended the ugly scenes for all to see. CNN and BBC have shown them and people in developed world are surely having a good watch at all the barbaric acts being carried out in the 21 first century in a country which had reached the civilisation to the extent of being able to create a new religion sect called Islam Hadhari. So the new brand of religion is demonstrated in the graphic scenes of how Malaysian Police chase after Hindraf followers who wanted to send roses to PM AAB. Talking about PM for all races when he can’t even bring himself to accept views different from his, with the compensation of roses to boot.
