You can see how the police demonstrate their “Performance Now” work ethic here:
STOP PRESS: DAP HQ Raided!
First time in the 42 years history of DAP, police raided our HQ.
11 plain clothes police came to the HQ this evening around 6.25pm, brought along with them one HQ staff, Ooi Leng Hang, who was arrested last Thursday at the Teratai vigil and who is still under remand.
The police did not have any warrant of search with them, and the office was not opened. We suspect they forced Ooi to let them in.
They took away a CPU, a 19″ monitor (obviously these officers are computer illiterates), some DVDs, a keyboard and a tablet.
Party leaders, Tan Kok Wai, Fong Kui Lun, Gobind Singh and Lim Lip Eng, who were alerted of the raid, managed to reached the HQ before the police left, which was about an hour later.
The leaders are holding a press conference in the HQ now.

Khir is also found guilty of three other charges of making disparaging remarks and negative statements about Selcat in the media and on his blog, with the recommended sentence of six months’ suspension each, with all the suspensions to run concurrently. Read the rest of this entry »

(This article was written in anticipation of the Court of Appeal judgment in Nizar vs Zambry)
The judgment of Justice Abdul Aziz Abd. Rahim in the case of Nizar vs Zambry has attained clairvoyance status.
It had positioned the institution of rulers above politics, dignified the sultans and preserved the revered constitutional monarchy for generations to come.
In the ancient times the announcement of gestation or birth of crown prince will usually send sages and spiritual leaders into solitude in meditation and prayers in the harsh wilderness with the hope that the ruler to come will be benevolent to the subjects. History bears testimony of such adoration with monuments and poems of virtues and valour of such kings. Read the rest of this entry »
