By election in Penang?

I received an SMS from Azizan who is from Protocol of the Penang State Government informing me that YB Hamdan of Permatang Pasir passed away peacefully at 0610. This means his seat will now be left vacant and most likely a by-election will be called. I have talked to this man a few times before and he is a long-term serving PAS candidate for this constituency. God bless his soul. He won by 5433 votes in 2008 General Elections.

It says it all

Poll from Anil Netto's blog

• Don't know (3%, 35 Votes)

I AM ANTI-ISA

I AM ANTI-ISA

You be the judge ....

You be the judge.

I sincerely believe it is done in good faith. I sincerely it is for the people and we will co-exist in harmony.

A breakthrough

The CM has decided to instruct MPPP to revoke all approved plans that will allow the developer to build on the land. Secondly, efforts will be done to work with the developer to allocate space for the residents to co-exist with the development project. Either way, a decision has been made and this has indeed "broke new grounds" in light of the possibilty of the BN federal government to impose emergency rule in Penang. I am sure this is a good decision but for the residents they will be in difficult situation for not accepting any form of compensation. I will be with the residents on August 3. Will MIC join us to prevent the demolition? Will BN do the same against the developer which whom they have links with?

Credit to be given

I must say that my theory of the flanking attack on Penang state government is clear and real. The demonstration by Indian MIC Youth is clearly a representation that BN is now stepping efforts to create chaos and also to ensure that Pakatan government falls. Enemies are plentiful but it is time to march alongside with the residents of Kampung Buah Pala as one to resolve this through heart to heart discussions rather than taking to the streets. Remember this, Hindraf and the residents are not even there. Although there are reports that 2 of the residents were there, I believe the issue of bread and butter rule the day. I am taken aback that MIC is taking this step. Let alone, Lim Guan Eng taking this in the first place. Why MIC needs to march to Komtar? I must say that the rule of law must apply.

MIC - you are just as responsible as your other component parties. I dare say this with the minutes given out to the public . You were powerless and you took the step to muddle the water. Enjoy yourselves in the hands of the police. Penangites are friendly people and we know nothing more nothing less - you are the tool of the BN's plot to destablise the government. I hold you responsible for all the the wrongdoings in the state. Let's see each other in the polls again. I will vote against BN anytime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extract from my private blog that is soon to be my book - Undivided Loyalty

I felt compelled to release this because it showed how arrogant one can be in resolving issues. I am sure I had my reasons for being angry but this is the truth, nothing but the truth. My theory as it stands is my personal opinion but bear with me. I think there is clear and present danger that the present BN government is throwing its weight to get political mileage in Penang. I know they got their pants caught down in Selangor but in Penang, their fangs are still showing.

Extract-he night before, I was at the public forum for Teoh Beng Hock. Last night, I attended to the Kampung Buah Pala meeting. The residents came in streams. It was evident that the residents wanted answers. Otherwise, 23 families would not have showed up. Seriously, there is a disjoint from the very beginning and I believe "mysterious" elements were swaying the entire issue from the North to the South. Nevertheless, the Chief Minister made it very clear that no one other than the residents will be allowed to be present. I am sure the Hindrafs and lawyers were fummingly made for such a request. At least for now, I am certain that decision held well. I am giving an update of what has happened. After all, being shouted at during the first meet, I had the nasty taste of what this so-called lawyer is capable of. He called me a bloody bastard and of course ended up with the term "go away office boy!" Sure Mr lawyer, you will have your day in the courts but I am serving the people and my Chief Minister is the rightful leader of the state.

The residents came in just about 8 pm. Being early for some, this experience may be quite overwhelming for some. I am certain that for many they were here to show their displeasure of the recent months leading to this meeting. I waited for the guests at the lower level 3. I knew that tension is high but I showed high respects to the residents and of course taking questions if there were any. The lawyer tried to ask for permission to head up with the residents and I took the opportunity to courteously gave him my thoughts. "You are not allowed up. Specific instructions from the Chief Minister that only residents are allowed." The lawyer rebutted " I am a resident of Penang unlike some leaders who are parachuting from Melaka." I replied, "At least he has gotten the mandate whereas you didn't. " Before he could reply, I walk away. "I am a Penangite and I am sure you are too. How can you let a Melaka resident boss you around." I replied within the crowd " Sir, you are out of line. I am working for the Penang State Government and you are not. So, please QUALIFY YOUR STATEMENT." Tension built up and Himashu of The Sun grabbed hold of me and ask me to chill. He saw the side of me that many didn't. A committed Penangite who believe that Penang is under seige by collaborators like him.

My question - why am I here? I could have decided not to. However, I had a theory for the past 4 months now. This Kampung Buah Pala incident is clearly an attempt by the Barisan Government to create chaos within the state. Obviously, well-timed, the attack on PR government in Selangor nearly achieved its objective if not for the unfortunately demise of Teoh Beng Hock. I am certain Kedah was the second. The BN government probably felt the crack within PR was the best opportunity that can ever happen while the emergence of the Human Rights Party would anger many Indians around the country to come and do a mexican stand-off in Penang on August 3. I write this with full conviction that if there were any disruptions, the BN led Federal Government would call for an emergency rule and shut the machinery of the state government down. I stand by my prediction.

Obviously, all of the parties - whether it was Hindraf or the lawyers or even the residents who are against the state are seen as the possible collaborators of the BN led government. It is no longer racial but the future of the state at stake. I had been very vocal in my text messages that could have angered some but I had to. For unselfish gains, this PR government is the rightful government of the day. Internally and externally, I will stand by my commitment to serve the party just like Teoh Beng Hock did until his untimely death. The residents will meet CM again this Friday. I will be there again. Why? 23 families have finally met the CM and he has lost his agenda.

Public Forum for Teoh Beng Hock

I caught some scenes and taken some from Lilian Chan's facebook. Obviously, conspiciously, Human Rights Party was missing from the function. So much for Human Rights.

A tribute to Teo Beng Hock

Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life. ~Albert Einstein

Rise fellow Malaysians....against oppressors

RIP Teoh Beng Hock

Like many Malaysians, we are outrage. While we are outrage, we have forces of evil continuing to deflank the death of Teoh Beng Hock and accusing the opposition of using this as an issue. They spread lies about his untimely death. Some say he died because of "underground assasinations" and some say "he jumped to save humiliation". I say this - let there be no stones left unturned. Let there be no lies be said further. I am tired and I am sick and tired of typical UMNO, MCA, MIC, Gerakan and now Hindraf's pretentious attitude towards the death of a fellow Malaysians.

I speak because I have seen so many flanking attacks by the ruling government. Don't get me wrong. MACC is not all evil. MACC is not all destructive. I believe some are puppets of certain individuals. Some are just puppets to be a poster boy to some political leaders. I stand here not being able to stomach what has been said by BN for the past 2 days. Let his death be a tipping point. I stand by my words a father to my children, a husband to my wife and a party member of DAP. I am pissed. My enemy is BN. Sure - no permanent enemies but it is time.

My thoughts on HRP

Hello Human Rights Party - hope to see you at the Teoh Beng Hock Rally. If you are not, stop wasting Malaysians time. Otherwise, rot away on your own and you wait for your rewards from the 1Malaysia. You spoke up against DAP at Buah Pala. You called LGE a liar. Lets see who is the liar here.

Until now.....

Not one bloody Hindraf leader has spoken about the death of Teoh Beng Hock other than Wayne Moorthy. I guess the rest are like rats. When Buah Pala became an issue, the rats were all over. Oh ... yes...Social injustice. Poor peasants -- this and that. Seriously, where are you Hindraf? Candle light vigil pun tak ada nampak. Protest pun tak ada nampak. So busy with your Sunday big "BN sponsored" launch? I am amazed when you can spend more time launching a new party where the entire country is in rage. Uthayakumar -don't talk about Makkal Sakti. You are just like a BN idiot. Selfish and self centered. Wayne - stay in London. The spring can do you more good.

It is time my fellow Malaysians ... it is time

If it is social injustice, how come we do not see MCA, UMNO, MIC, Gerakan or even HINDRAF HERE TODAY? I ask you why there are not here not because they support us but there is a gross injustice in Malaysia. Wayne Moorthy – where the heck are you? Ong Tee Keat – what are you so silent? Gerakan – again silent on this and Buah Pala! Samy Vellu - we have a young man that died. Najib – tell your men to investigate.

I speak as a Malaysian. I speak with pain and despair seeing crooks robbing the folks at Buah Pala. I see lawyers calling YB and special officers – Office boys. Why all these name calling ?? Why not speak about this poor soul that died today? The time has come for people to rise above the occasion. So what if it is 1 Malaysia where we can’t even trust the authorities anymore? So what if you form 1 Malaysia Foundation where non of the trustees will ever know about death within their own family under the custody of the authorities. It is time my fellow Malaysians. It is time !

A tribute

So , what if I write this today and tomorrow, someone picks me up for investigation? I asked myself this very question where my civil liberty rights no longer exist as a human being? I belong to an organization that believes in the corridors of power. Today, Najib has started his personal war against his enemies. Instead of direct attack against them in Perak, he has started to use MACC to intimidate and harass his political oponents. I write today with dismay and disgust. A party comrade has met his death at the MACC building in Shah Alam. "Be careful Jeff. They are coming after you and your boss," writes a friend through an SMS at 6pm today. I knew this job is hazardous but is it worth it? Coming out from the wave of strong popularity, Najib has indeed waged a warfare against his enemies. Am I worried ?

Last nite, the Buah Pala residents were expected no show but true to the surprise of many, 9 families turned up. The meeting behind closed doors lasted for 2 hours. I didn't go in but I knew a deal was struck. After all, office boys like myself can't go in. Thank god the lawyer didn't come. I believe Hindraf is a lousy organization. After all, with the death of Teoh Beng Hock, I wonder why there is such a silence on this end?Aren't they suppose to be speaking up against social justice? Hindraf, my ass!

I wear black today. Like many Malaysians, my heart goes out to the Teoh's family. He didn't die in vain. He just went to sleep and we are now in him all the way. Labor Omnia Vincit (Labor Conquers All)

My CM Hindraf...this is my CM

Does former Penang chief minister Koh Tsu Koon owe Penangites a detailed explanation on the Kampung Buah Pala crisis?
Yes (97%, 1,399 Votes)
No (2%, 36 Votes ... see more on AnilNetto's blog

Surprise ... surprise

Dear Wayne,

As I enjoy my weekend, an SMS came into my mobile forwarded by a concerned citizen that showed the number of a journalist. Surprisingly, this journalist seems to act as if he is now with the residents of Buah Pala. I really wouldn't want to go into the details but do wait for a video that will soon come out showing some interesting findings. Once it is out, enjoy it.

Now, I believe the air in London is cooling and refreshing. Of course one gets into a situation where he or she will miss home very much. In this case, 5 of his fellow comrades who fought for the Indian people under Hindraf spent many months in jail. I believe Wayne had a great time championing their cause while lawyers in Malaysia mainly from DAP and PKR tried their best to get them out from ISA detention. Now, all of them are out and Wayne is feeling left out. Guess Kampung Buah Pala came at the right time. What best time is there then to beat this issue to death and gain support?

After the much revealed chronological event, it is now very apparent that HINDRAF could have been used by certain individuals with Buah Pala, or did they? Well, you be the judge. I believe the crux of the issue is this - WHO SOLD THE LAND? Sure - it was approved on 27 March 2008 - merely after it has gone through the EXCO before March 8. Premium reduced and payment was made. Why is Wayne so insistent that it was LGE responsibility to push the deal through? Wayne - come back to Malaysia. I believe LGE would love to have you back to enjoy the Malaysian hospitality. Better still, you can control the folks under you. You have lost your senses.

Wayne - grow up. 2 years ago, there was a cause. Today, the cause is more or less someone else's agenda? You should instruct your commanders to persuade the residents to meet the state. No more name callings. No more fist showing. Suggest you even want to ask that Thamaraj to shut up as come Monday, he is in for a shock. If you are following my blog, follow it. I have great respect for your principles. But of late, you have become a very difficult leader. Seriously, it is best you become a jaguh Malaysia then a jaguh Kampung. Being a jaguh kampung requires you to be here. Don't let your commanders twist the stories let alone a local journalist who speak like a BN agent now. So consider this, okay?

With best regards

JC

Now..now ... who is beating the straw man now

I read with amusement about Kampung Buah Pala's assistant secretary wanting to burn 20,000 cds and distributed throughout the country of footages containing Datuk Seri Anwar and YB Rayer's commitment to help Kampung Buah Pala. Seriously folks, I think Thamaraj has gone nuts. After all, Hindraf seems to have lost interest in this issue and Mr. Thamaraj has decided to do his own way. What is the objective when all of us well know the reasons behind Thamaraj getting evicted from his own land. Was it Anwar, LGE, Karpal or even Rayer that got you into this predicament? Sometimes when someone gets too emotional, he or she forgets the intellectual reasons behind the issue. Case in point - it was our beloved EX Chief Minister who insisted it to be sold away. Of course no one is insinuating on this but now EX CM wants to do this

This is what KTK said "I would also like to ask him (Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng) to announce and make public a chronology of the promises that DAP leaders had made before and during the last general election on this issue and quote what they have said themselves (to the residents) just as he had quoted from the 'presumably' exco minutes"

So Thamaraj, since you have chosen your path path, I think you should lighten up and treat folks at Komtar with respect. Koh Tsu Koon is playing you into a corner. Always qualify your statement because each day goes by, you are looking not so good by the day. Why am I saying this ?

Firstly, if it was really a caring BN government, why did they sell it away and at discounted price? This land could have been earmarked for heritage and your fellow residents would have gotten the best treatment ever. After all, you failed to do so and is it because you are covering your failures? In fact, you should ask KTK to resign as Minister since the KPI for good governance is missing on his part. Hence, he has no moral rights to even ask my Chief Minister list out the things that was promised. Check http://www.anilnetto.com/ website. See how many people are demanding KTK to explain. I guess Thamaraj is trying to set himself up to become the next ADUN of Seri Delima. After all, if he is sincere, he wouldn't have said lots of things. Anyway, I am a tax payer and I have a right to voice my views. Mr. Thamaraj, you are being used by BN, Hindraf for the own ends. Better you regroup and speak to the state on suggestions. I believe sending out CDs won't get back your land. You will maybe get yourself elected in the expense of your fellow residents. Enough said. Sad case we see at Kampung Buah Pala - not Thamaraj but the remaining residents being led by a few misinformed persons.

Response to this nonsense

For the very first time, I will try to take on this cowboy line by line. What a bloody farce..


Statement from P. Waythamoorthy



Posted by admin
Friday, 10 July 2009 10:53
Whilst HINDRAF appreciates the part revelation of Penang Chief Minister on the Kg.Buah Pala Saga, we are however surprised that he had carefully chosen what should and what should not be revealed.
From the revelations, we are not in the slightest doubt that the BN under its previous Chief Minister Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon and his cohorts had robbed the poor and defenceless people of Kg. Buah Pala of their land and they should be held accountable.

ARE YOU VERY SURE? PLEASE SEE TO YOUR GUYS IN MALAYSIA. THEY HAVE SOLD YOU OUT BY ISSUING STATEMENTS THAT SO ARE SO CONFLICTING.

However Guan Eng has to clarify the following points:
· How was the land that was given to the villagers and held in trust by the Government sold to private developers in the first place;

PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT'S DOING - WHY ASK THE STATE GOVERNMENT WHO IS HELPING THE PEOPLE THERE.

· Since it was plainly obvious from the documents that the land was robbed from the people then why did Guan Eng and his Government allow the fraudulent transfer to take place after he and his Government came into power;

ADMINISTRATIVE WAYNE, ADMINISTRATIVE.
· Why didn’t Guan Eng adhere to the advice by the resident's previous Lawyer that the transaction of the previous Government could be revoked by him as fraud is involved;

ASK YOURSELF THIS - WITH SO MUCH LAND SCANDAL IN THE PIPELINE, MAYBE YOU CAN WORK WITH THE STATE GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS.

· Why did Guan Eng keep mum on this fraudulent transaction by the previous Government for these many months? Why the failure to lodge Police Reports and to the MACC if he was aware of the fraud by BN? Why hasn’t Guan Eng raised the matter in Parliament though he has been elected for more than 15 months now?

MUM - THE STATE ARE NO COWBOYS - THEY NEED TO CHECK FACTS UNLIKE HINDRAF
· How can land sold at RM3.21 million suddenly “rocket” up to hundreds of millions after the land has been transferred to the developers by the Guan Eng Government.

A TOTAL BLATANT LIE - GO CHECK THE CHRONOLOGICAL OF EVENTS

· Why is Guan End deliberately dragging his feet in finding a permanent solution to the problem ie exercising his authority under the Land Acquisition Act ?

YOU HAVE THE MONEY WAYNE? YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY THE DEVELOPER? YOU DON'T LIVE ON THIS FREAKING ISLAND WHILE WE DO. WE DON'T ENJOY FREE ACCOMODATION UNLIKE YOU.

· Why was Guan Eng’s Exco members exerting pressure on the village residents to accept the peanut offer of compensation by the developer;

RULE OF LAW - HINDRAF FORGETS THAT THERE IS SUCH THING CALL LAW. FEDERAL COURT HAS RULED AGAINST THE RESIDENTS. WHAT ELSE.


HINDRAF warns Guan Eng against using unfriendly language in his Press Statements especially accusing the residents of displaying aggression, hostility and arrogance for refusing to see him yesterday. The villagers have made it clear that they wish to be represented by a Legal Representative of their choice and not by a representative chosen by Guan Eng. He should not make a mockery of himself by further complicating the matter by coercing the people into submission with his bullying and high handed tactics.

YOU SHOULD BE THERE WAYNE. CALLING NAMES AND SHOWING FISTS TO GOVERNMENT OFFICERS. YOU CALL THAT SOLVING THE PROBLEM? DON'T BE A SISSY OKAY?

Over the last one week, Lim Guan Eng had diverted from the main issue and has personally and through his cohorts been diverting from the real issue. The Kg Buah Pala Residents had repeatedly insisted that they are not interested in any form of compensation but only want to preserve their livelihood. But Guan Eng plays deaf by talking about compensation and raising fear of unimaginable magnitude of compensation to the developers.

COHORTS? YOU HAVE MORE WAYNE. ONE LAWYER CALLED INDRAN WAS SHOWING HIS FANGS BUT REPEATED TELLING THE PRESS HOW CONCERNED HE WAS. I DOUBT HE IS FROM BUAH PALA.

In addition, he insinuates that HINDRAF is a collaborator of BN. Guan Eng must remember HINDRAF is apolitical and we do not condone any wrong doing by any Government. In this case, why blame us for not condemning the BN when you and your colleagues have quietly played along with BN and attempted to sweep the matter under the carpet, perhaps motivated by the “unimaginable” sum.

OF COURSE, UTHAYAKUMAR GOT BACK HIS PASSPORT DIDN'T HE? COME ON, WE ARE NOT BLIND. WE ARE NOT BLIND. HINDRAF MUST MAKE IT VERY CLEAR...OFFER SOLUTIONS THAT ARE WORKABLE.

HINDRAF only interfered after desperate appeal by the villagers; and if not for the action taken by HINDRAF 4 days prior to the demolition date, Guan Eng and his BN corrupt allies would have been celebrating by now.

CORRUPT ALLIES? PAKATAN RAKYAT GETS THE BRICKBAT WHILE BN RUNS AWAY. WHERE IS YOUR DEMO OUTSIDE UMNO, GERAKAN, MCA AND MIC OFFICE? POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK

To date, Guan Eng has not answered all the queries I raised in my Statement issued on the 1st July 2009 and is continuously using diversion techniques that we see used frequently by BN.
If he is sincere in using “all the legal avenues of resolving the issue” as claimed, then the only option is the Land Acquisition Act. He should erase the delusion that hundreds of millions of compensation is involved when the act clearly states that a reasonable sum only need be paid.

AND SET THE PRECEDENCE THROUGHOUT THE STATE? HINDRAF BROTHERS, YOU GOT MONEY TO PAY OR NOT.

WAYNE - COME BACK FROM LONDON. I BELIEVE THE TEA AND COFFEE THERE HAS MADE YOU A LITTLE DISALLUSION. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP TO THE CALL OF JUSTICE BY BEING HERE ON THE GROUND. SEE YOU OR SHUT UP!

Wah...jahat kononnya...

Both lawyers --- Indran and Darshan...tolong lah..go and check the chronological of events. Your views are very lame now. The people shall rise against you Indran... they will take you off to where you came from- MIC and Darshan - I am so sorry for you .... really I am

Why Hindraf? Why?

Are you blinded by the struggles that you fought for? Have you forgotten that when your comrades were in jail, who were the ones who fought for you? I am a Penangite and I voted with my conscience. None of you were from Penang and yet you come and make threats to our rightful Chief Minister. My take to you is this - seek your greener pastures at PutraJaya. Get yourself registered with the Registrar of Societies and form your own political party. Maybe with good fortunes, you will benefit from the rukus you are causing in Penang. I am sure many Penangites will shut their doors on you if you continue to be on a combative mood. I have always respected your struggles. But of late, you speak like BN, think like one, and even denying facts of Buah Pala that is really right in front of you. So - I have to say - sorry folks - Hindraf is not cool anymore. There are more of a distraction for BN than ever before.

oh my godddddd....

Oh my god

Great work Citizen Journalists!

Interesting remarks from a good friend

"Kedah DAP is hitting the wrong target by making the drastic call to quit Pakatan. It had taken a lot, and in some ways, a miracle for the PAS, PKR and DAP to come together and forge a united front to face Barisan Nasional. The alliance is bound to face tribulations and disagreements. However, it is our duty to minimise such problems and to ensure that the coalition remains united. " read this .....

Starkling resemblance .....

Black Panters vs Civil Rights - any starkling resemblance?
