Six political tsunami in the 14th General Elections on May 9
I hope to see six tsunamis to effect the first change of Malaysian Government in Putrajaya in 61 years in the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018.
The six political tsunamis are:
·Urban tsunami;
·Rural tsunami;
·Sabah tsunami;
·Sarawak tsunami;
·Women tsunami; and
·Youth tsunami.
The 13th General Election five years ago in 2013, as well as the 12GE in 2008, saw the phenomenon of the urban political tsunami in Malaysia. These were not Chinese tsunami, but the tsunami of the urban and semi-urban Malaysians, whether Chinese, Indian or Malays in urban and semi-urban Malaysia.
We must not take for granted that there will be an equal degree of urban tsunami in the 14GE on May 9, because the failures of the urban tsunamis in the 2008 and 2012 General Elections to bring about change of government have resulted in political fatigue, disappointment and even disenchantment with the electoral process.

Stampin joins Ayer Hitam, Teluk Intan, Langkawi, Pagoh and Semporna as among the high-profile constituencies in the nation where the battle to Save Malaysia from a kleptocratic state and rogue democracy will be fought in the 14GE
Tonight is a historic one for Stampin and Sarawak, for with the brave and selfless decision of the DAP Sarawak Chairman Chong Chieng Jen to leave his safe Bandar Kuching parliamentary seat for the dangerous Stampin parliamentary seat, Stampin joins Ayer Hitam, Teluk Intan, Langkawi, Pagoh and Semporna as among the high-profile constituencies in the nation where the battle to Save Malaysia from a kleptocratic state and rogue democracy will be fought in the 14th General Election and be the focus of attention not only of Malaysians but the world.
In the 13th General Election, DAP won Stampin by 18,000 votes. But through the worst gerrymandering in the redelineation of parliamentary constituencies, Barisan Nasional sought to win back Stampin by the most undemocratic means by moving 28,000 voters from Stampin to Bandar Kuching so that SUPP can win Stampin.
The issue in Stampin, Sarawak and even Malaysia is whether the voice of Chong Chien Jen will be silenced in Parliament if he is defeated in Stampin.
It is shocking and even mind-blowing that the SUPP could be so mindless and blind as to claim that the 14th General Election has nothing to do with Datuk Seri Najib Razak and that it is about Sarawak’s rights to self-determination. Read the rest of this entry »
Najib is showing signs of panic over likely outcome of the 14th GE
Posted by Kit in Election, Elections, Najib Razak, UMNO on Monday, 23 April 2018
I am surprised that the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak is showing signs of panic over the likely outcome in the 14th General Election on May 9.
I think he is rattled by the unexpected fall-outs over UMNO becoming an illegal political party, as all informed Malaysians cannot accept the contention that the Registrar of Societies have the power to extend for another 12 months until April 19, 2019 for UMNO Supreme Council elections to be held.
As veteran UMNO leader, Tan Sri Rais Yatim, had said, the Registrar of Societies is not the ultimate authority to determine or usurp the power of Umno’s constitution.
Rais has rightly asked: “Can the RoS do away with a party’s constitution and give rights that are not in the constitution?”
There is no good lawyer in the country who will contend that the RoS has powers to give another 12-month extension after April 2019, as clearly any such extension by the RoS is unlawful, unconstitutional and invalid. Read the rest of this entry »
Could the 14GE on May 9 be subsequently declared by the courts as illegal, null and void as a result of the UMNO/BN government’s flouting of the rule of law on UMNO as an illegal political party from April 20?
An intriguing question has arisen in the run-up to the 14th General Election, with nomination fixed this Saturday, 28th April 2018 and Polling on Wednesday, 9th May, 2018.
Could the 14GE on May 9 be subsequently declared by the courts as illegal, null and void as a result of the UMNO/BN government’s flouting of the rule of law on UMNO as an illegal political party from April 20?
The 16 Umno members who had taken legal action to challenge the validity of Umno as a political party for postponing the party election had been sacked summarily from UMNO, and they have announced filing contempt proceeding to challenge their sacking from UMNO.
The action filed by the 16 is on the basis that the Umno Supreme Council had breached Article 10.16 of the party’s constitution in delaying its party elections until next year.
I have discussed with senior lawyers on the matter, and they are quite unanimous in the view that the law is very clear that UMNO is today an illegal political party. Read the rest of this entry »

UMNO has become an illegal political party because Najib was indecisive and hesitant as when to hold 14GE, which involves very high personal stakes for him
Posted by Kit in Law & Order, UMNO on Sunday, 22 April 2018
UMNO has become an illegal political party because Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Prime Minister and President of UMNO, was abnormally indecisive and hesitant when to hold the 14th General Election, which involves very high personal stakes for him.
Under the UMNO party constitution, UMNO is required to hold UMNO Supreme Council elections once every three years, but the UMNO Supreme Council has the power to give an 18-month extension under special circumstances, like preparing for the 14th General Election.
The last UMNO triennial elections were held on Oct. 20, 2013, which means that UMNO Supreme Council elections must be held by Oct. 19, 2016 to comply with the three-year requirement or by April 19, 2018, if there is a 18-month extension decided by the UMNO Supreme Council.
On June 26, 2015, Najib announced that the UMNO Supreme Council had decided to put off party elections due in October 2016 by 18 months.
He said:
“According to Article 10.16 of the Umno constitution, the supreme council has the right to postpone elections for its supreme council, divisions and branches.
“This postponement cannot exceed 18 months from the date the elections were supposed to be held”, i.e. by 19th April 2018. Read the rest of this entry »
Double standard treatment of the case of UMNO/BN as illegal political parties is the last straw why the UMNO/BN must be replaced by Pakatan Harapan as Malaysian and Johore state governments on May 9
The double standard treatment of the case of UMNO/BN as illegal political parties is the last straw why the UMNO/BN must be replaced by Pakatan Harapan as the Malaysian Government in Putrajaya and Johore government in Nusajaya in the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018.
On the eve of dissolution of Parliament on April 7, 2018, PPBM (Bersatu) was issued with a 30-day provisional dissolution order by the UMNO/BN Government through the Registrar of Societies (RoS), forbidding Bersatu from holding any political activities.
Where were the concepts of justice, good governance and the rule of law when in fact, it was UMNO/Barisan Nasional which should be issued with a provision dissolution order by the Registrar of Societies as UMNO had violated its own party constitution on election of UMNO Supreme Council elections?
DAP was harassed for five years on the baseless ground that the DAP was an illegal political party based on the false and baseless premise that our Central Executive Committee elections in December 2012 was improper and defective, when it was in fact fully proper, legal and in accordance with the DAP constitution.

Najib’s UMNO/BN has no respect for rule of law
The controversy over the legality of UMNO and Barisan Nasional, and whether the BN logo of daching can be used in the 14th General Elections, shows that the UMNO/BN of Najib Razak no more respects the rule of law.
The position of UMNO/BN, both of which have become illegal political organisations since yesterday as UMNO, the backbone of BN, is because UMNO has violated its own party constitution in not holding UMNO Supreme Council elections for 54 months.
Under Clause 10 of the UMNO party constitution, UMNO is required to hold UMNO Supreme Council elections once every three years, but the UMNO Supreme Council has the power to give an 18-month extension under special circumstances, like preparing for the 14th General Election.
As UMNO President, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said at a media conference on June 26, 2015:
“According to Article 10.16 of the Umno constitution, the supreme council has the right to postpone elections for its supreme council, divisions and branches.
“This postponement cannot exceed 18 months from the date the elections were supposed to be held.” Read the rest of this entry »
Liow Tiong Lai should cite one stance where MCA has changed Since his “Citizen” National Day video, whether MCA had ever Protested against the 1MDB scandal in government?
MCA President Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said that I am a “lost man” without any direction as my strategy had backfired.
I congratulate Liow for his political acumen for being able to read my political strategy, and if his analysis is true that I am a “lost man”, he should be the happiest man in Malaysian politics instead of leading a most unprecedented MCA “Anti-Siege/Elimination Total Offensive” Rally in Yong Peng yesterday fighting a last battle of survival.
Liow alleges that the DAP wants to kill off MCA. He is grossly mistaken MCA will kill off itself, by betraying the very objectives and principles for which MCA was founded.
This was why MCA was reduced from golden age in the past to a 7/11 party in the last general elections, winning only seven parliamentary and eleven state assembly seats.
I would advise Liow to revisit his “Citizens” National Day Video last year and act as a brave citizen of Malaysia and not as a cringing MP and Minister solely dependent on UMNO’s Malay votes. Read the rest of this entry »
Rosmah Mansor has only highlighted the basic flaw and failure of the Malaysian education system when the Prime Minister himself has not been sufficiently imbued with the basic moral and religious values not to tell lies or to steal
The wife of the Prime Minister, Datuk Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor yesterday revealed that one of the reasons she started the Permata programme for children was because she wanted to teach them to be respectful of their elders, parents and teachers and singled out the PKR Vide President Nurul Izzah as a person lacking such qualities.
I leave to Nurul to respond to Rosmah’s allegation but Rosmah has only highlighted the basic flaw and failure of the Malaysian education system when the Prime Minister himself has not been sufficiently imbued with basic moral and religious values not to tell lies or to steal!
The two notorious “achievements” of Najib are firstly, to enact the world’s first anti-fake news law, not to combat lies, fake news and false information but to censor exposes about UMNO/BN abuses of power and corruption, in particular the international multi-billion 1MDB money-laundering scandal; and secondly, giving Malaysia’s the international infamy and ignominy of a global kleptocracy.

Pakatan Harapan Governmenr in Putrajaya will auction the RM144 million pink diamond necklace to return its proceeds to Malaysian taxpayers
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals on Saturday, 21 April 2018
The wife of Prime Minister, Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor herself raised the subject of her diamond collection from the 1MDB scandal.
Speaking to BN women members in Lembah Pantai yesterday, she accused PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli of attempting to trap her husband, caretaker prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, and her over the diamond ring issue.
She said that Rafizi only told “half the story and half-truths”.
Rosmah maintained that she had only viewed the ring but did not purchase it.
She said; “You want to know about the ring? They (critics) said I have a ring but they sometimes say it’s USD8 million, USD16 million, USD24 million and even USD86 million.
“I said you better decide how much my ring is. They talk about things they don’t know. Read the rest of this entry »
RoS should have issued a 30-day provisional dissolution order to both UMNO and Barisan Nasional even before issuing such an order to PPBM on eve of dissolution of Parliament
The Registrar of Societies should have issued a 30-day provisional dissolution order to both UMNO and Barisan Nasional even before issuing such an order to PPBM (Bersatu) on the eve of dissolution of Parliament early this month.
Beginning today, UMNO has become an illegal political party.
It has violated its own party constitution which requires that election for the UMNO Supreme Council should be held once in three years. Read the rest of this entry »
Regret at Najib’s “makhluk” language and call for decent, honest and civil campaigning for the 14th General Elections
It is most regrettable that even before the official start of the 14th General Elections Campaign on Nomination Day on April 28, the Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional Chairman, Datuk Seri Najib Razak has already resorted to gutter politics using the “makhluk” language when referring to opponents.
At the PRIMA groundbreaking ceremony in Teluk Intan on Wednesday, Najib warned that a makhluk (creature) who had “a penchant for creating fake news” was contesting in Teluk Intan against the Minister President of Gerakan Mah Siew Keong, clearly referring to Perak DAP chief Ng Kor Ming, who will be carrying the DAP/Pakatan Harapan standard in Teluk Intan in the 14GE.

A DIY tip to MCA leadership to prevent MCA’s “elimination” – speak up on 1MDB scandal and demand that all ill-gotten gains including RM144 million pink diamond necklace should be confiscated and returned to Malaysians
I gave a full assurance to MCA and Gerakan yesterday that the DAP has no intention or capability to eliminate MCA and Gerakan.
This is because no other political party can eliminate MCA or Gerakan, as only MCA itself can eliminate MCA, and Gerakan itself can eliminate the Gerakan, by adopting policies and measures which deprives them of all public support, because they have rendered themselves completely inconsequential, irrelevant and marginalized.
I asked how DAP can cause the MCA and the Gerakan leaders to adopt policies and measures which would render MCA and Gerakan completely inconsequential, irrelevant or marginalized unless the MCA and Gerakan leaders have become puppets or stooges of DAP, which is even more unthinkable.

The truth of 1MDB scandal is that Najib is trying to create the greatest conundrum in the world by hiding the truth about the 1MDB scandal from Malaysians and the world
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak on Thursday, 19 April 2018
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak slammed DAP for dropping Dr. Tan Seng Giaw simply for speaking the truth on 1MDB.
Two questions come to mind: firstly, how does Najib know that the reason why Seng Giaw is not re-contesting in Kepong is because of 1MDB?
Secondly, it is very rich for Najib to talk about the “truth” of 1MDB, when he is trying to create the greatest conundrum in Malaysia and the world by hiding the truth from Malaysians and the world about the truth of the 1MDB scandal. Read the rest of this entry »
No other political party can eliminate MCA and Gerakan – as political parties can only commit suicide or self-destruct from their own betrayal of their founding principles
I gave an assurance to MCA and Gerakan at the media conference in Labis earlier this evening to announce the DAP/Pakatan Harapan parliamentary candidate for Labis, Pang Hock Liong, that DAP has no intention whatsoever to eliminate MCA and Gerakan, stressing that no other political party can eliminate MCA and Gerakan, as political parties cannot be eliminated by other political parties but can only commit suicide or self-destruct because of their own betrayal of their founding principles.
The intention and objective of the DAP in the 14th General Election is to defeat the UMNO/BN so that for the first in the nation’s 61-year history, a new Government from Pakatan Harapan could be formed in Putrajaya, to Save Malaysia from becoming a bankrupt, rogue and kleptocratic state by resetting Malaysia’s nation building directions and policies for Malaysia to become a world top-class nation.

Full assurance to MCA and Gerakan – DAP has no intention whatsoever to eliminate MCA and Gerakan
Posted by Kit in Election, Elections, MCA, Pakatan Harapan on Wednesday, 18 April 2018
I want to give a full assurance to MCA and Gerakan – DAP no intention whatsoever to eliminate MCA and Gerakan.
The placement of DAP candidates in Ayer Hitam, Teluk Intan and Labis is not because DAP intends to eliminate MCA and Gerakan, as DAP is fully aware that we are incapable of performing this feat, apart from the fact that it is never the intention or objective of DAP to eliminate MCA, Gerakan or any political party in the country.
No other political party can eliminate MCA or Gerakan, as only MCA itself can eliminate MCA, and Gerakan itself can eliminate the Gerakan, by adopting policies and measures Which deprives them of all public support, because they have rendered themselves completely irrelevant and marginalized.

Liow Tiong Lai must explain whether it is official MCA campaign strategy to spread the claim that there is nothing wrong with Najib’s 2.6 billion donation and the 1MDB scandal as Najib had given back the RM2.6 billion to Malaysians
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Elections, Financial Scandals, MCA, Najib Razak on Wednesday, 18 April 2018
I am shocked to discover during my walkabout with the DAP candidate for Johor State Assembly seat, Tan Hong Pin that MCA propagandists are spreading the version that there is nothing wrong with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s RM2.6 billion donation in his personal banking accounts and the 1MDB scandal, especially as Najib had given back the RM2.6 billion to the people of Malaysia.
This is a monstrous multiple lie and falsehood, which is worse than the lie recently by the Barisan Nasional Strategic Communications Unit when responding to the FaceBook posting by former Cabinet Minister, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, asking the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) to clarify if it had known about caretaker prime minister Najib Razak’s infamous RM2.6 billion donation, and how the department had dealt with it at the time.
The Barisan Nasional strategic communications team, which is headed by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datu Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan, said that that Najib had returned most, if not all, of the RM2.6 billion donation he received in 2013.
This is a double lie, for Najib had not returned most, and definitely not all, of the RM2.6 billion Donation to Saudi royalty he received in 2013. Read the rest of this entry »
PH should target winning 120 parliament seats in GE14 – 100 in Peninsular Malaysia and 20 in Sabah and Sarawak
Posted by Kit in Elections, Pakatan Harapan on Wednesday, 18 April 2018
112 parliament seats are needed in order to win a bare majority control of parliament.
PH should set a target of winning 120 parliament seats to show that a decisive majority of Malaysians no longer support a kleptocratic and corrupt Barisan Nasional (BN).
Is this target achievable?
Yes, I think it is. Especially if there is a Malaysian tsunami that will sweep across the nation bringing together Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans and others to vote against the BN and to strongly support Pakatan Harapan to form the next federal government.

Five aspects of the Malay Tsunami which will be the outstanding characteristic of the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018
Posted by Kit in DAP, Election, Elections, Financial Scandals on Tuesday, 17 April 2018
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, yesterday cautioned the Malays and bumiputeras against triggering a Malay tsunami in the upcoming 14th General Election as this will jeopardize their rights and interests.
This is a far cry from what Najib said only ten days ago, that that he could not detect a Malay tsunami taking place in the 14GE.
Najib is beginning to learn the truism that “a week is a long time in politics”, and the Polling Day of the 14th General Election on May 9 is still more than three weeks away. Read the rest of this entry »
