Exhuming The Truth

The events that had taken place in Hulu Selangor by-election cannot be incinerated just like any other past by-elections. We are seeing totalitarian regimes hang onto power by fear and when anything does not work to their favour, they resort to corruption.

From the tenure of the previous prime minister, the modus operandi to suppress the truth remains. Today, we still see the fear the government has, to admit who is responsible for what.

The truth is important because it affects our lives intimately and collectively as a nation but the leaders we have do not adhere to this view. When situation does not allow us to trust anyone anymore, then we have to demand for the answer by exercising that right by being a registered voter and cast that right in the ballot box.

When will the day be when we can rely solely on the mainstream media for unbiased information? We know that the mainstream media is not honourable or brave enough to give us unbiased information.

Perhaps I have spoken too quickly. Judging from what Joshua Wong (NTV7) and Chou Z Lam (RTM 2) being intimidated, there is still a hope for the mainstream media to redeem its trust to the people. However, “two” swallows do not make a summer but their act of defiance is indeed honourable.

With the government clamping down on freedom of speech by unwarranted interference, we are actually losing our freedom and privacy. This has become our biggest threat.

What stories the government is going to spin and expecting the public to hear are over because the filths are too huge to substantiate the truth what more to the known scandals.

There are many gutless politicians elected by the people have failed miserable. They hold on to power and too afraid to speak out by playing the dumb game. The worse of the pack are those who are willing to bite the hands that feed them by jumping ship at the scheduled time. Such politicians may have too many dark secrets so to speak and have to remain servile.

This is how such politicians started their careers after the 2008 general election. They are the politicians who have helped corrupt our nation and are willing graduates of betrayal to their party and electorates, come what may, just to save their own skin.

The coming Sibu by-election will face with the same predicament. So, the first thing we need to consider is which news source is reporting whatever lies and whether they have reported them truthfully or put their own spin on them.

In reality, SPR is carrying the big stick and is not afraid to use it on the Opposition but very accommodating to their master. The expected level playing field will never see its day for it has turned into a mud patch.

We are seeing the dark art has taken on a more sinister dimension. The act beyond its rightful power that do injury to liberty, justice and individual rights over the people it supposed to protect is made evident of a corrupt government.

We are not powerless and should not allow the government to act wrongfully against us. By knowing how far the government has strayed, it is the “number” that counts to send the message that we have enough of it.

In the coming Sibu by-election - lead the change is the appropriate battle cry. We should see at least eighty percent (42,943) turnout against the last recorded sixty-seven percent (36,379) out of the 53,679 registered voters in the coming showdown.

Is eighty percent a far-fetched figure or otherwise, it is the ideal yardstick to give a clear indication what the people want. Change is at the doorstep and it depends on how responsive the electorates are going to be.

Our election history has proven this beyond a shadow of doubt that “numbers” is the benchmark for the edge.

Say what you like but remember - the change is just over the hill.

What Has Become Of Our Society

I have to qualify myself from all prejudices when writing this article. Reflexology is a well-known therapy that helps the body to do its own healing.

However, the authenticity of such health business is doubted where unscrupulous operators have brought a bad name to this industry.

Just take a ride around any new township and you will never miss the emergence of foot reflexology, promulgating health services.

Karaoke lounges stand sedentary decorated with faint multi-coloured lights have their days numbered. They have lost their appeal to the new breed of so called “health seekers” flocking surreptitiously to such avenue for their salacious journey into the forbidden world to satisfy their lecherous desires.

Thanks to the “China Dolls” who have landed on our shores to bring a world of new adventure for men to explore a new horizon of sexual escapade. “Health seekers” my foot, it is all about sexual indulgence to be precise!

Well, our debate could go on and over again with same old tune sang to please oneself. Jug after jug of beer is flowing like a cascading waterfall and as usual one “drink-too-many” syndrome ruled the evening. That was what I was hoping for to hear their tales of their cheating ways.

The blessing is that I am allergic to alcohol, and glass after glass of coke on the rock kept me sane enough to be amused by their high-octane adventures with traces of hilarity.

Man is promiscuous by nature. I wonder are there ways for women to keep their men from cheating on them? Of course there are, but man is one step ahead most of the time except for those “dumbos” who are literally caught with their pants down.

In this contemporary, catching one’s spouse (especially man) for cheating is merely a waste of effort. It is unlike yesteryears where the look out signs to catch infidelity through her spouse’s demeanour, sudden change in grooming, the tell-tale smell of perfume and his excuses for coming home late, and thanks to reflexology, it has significantly reduced the level of suspicion.

China dolls and with no string attached, is the best great escape from any suspicion for infidelity.

For the worst case scenario when confronted or seen emerging from such “paradise” one can easily substantiate his innocence by claiming foot massage, yeah – foot massage that is, my foot!

For some, they can afford to “own” a sweet young thing to satisfy their sexual gratifications. And to be in the trendy mode of rent-a-wife scheme, this has become a dangerous trend to break marriages.

The danger lies in obsession deriving from sexual fantasy and such compulsive sexual behaviour seems to be morally accepted sexual norm that is wantonly displayed in public because no one questions its legality.

Sometimes people find themselves in periodic situations where they discover that they are sexually attracted to the opposite gender. When the obsessive desire for the person grows beyond the boundary of sanity, then the libido will go awry.

What about women whose spouses who go under the pretext of seeking foot massage but with a hidden agenda are known to them?

Then the knots of trusts are broken which threaten the institution of marriage to be smashed asunder. The sensible women will not risk the future of their children and choose to live with it silently, but the capable women without financial constraints will choose otherwise – as single parent.

Children from single parent will become more difficult to up-bring and the toll on the mother will become more unbearable. She has her career to look after, her children to nurture and her own sexual needs to be appeased.

Sex is never pre-planned, an innocent hug with teases seem to be the norm but what the eyes see and how the body feels will remain hidden. When the willing body responds to trigger the drifting pleasure on the other, the inevitable sexual feelings will pirouette with the sensational thrills to pamper the libido.

Say what you like, the age-old taboo is never thought to happen even when there is a chance of being discovered, yet it cuts through the taboo to the core.

Sex among willing adults will never be felt wrong. What people do within the four walls is meant to be private even sinfully indulged between two willing partners. In any situation of a person’s life that falls into such unfortunate category, the unforgiving sexual gratifications will even supersede the tenacious beliefs of any God fearing individuals.

Come what may, when libido must be appeased, what the eyes see, the mind will desire the impeccably crafted anatomy. The physical attraction will cloud the mind and lead to the threshold of more daring attempts for physical contacts will inevitably make the body speaks with only one language – Sex.

In this fast changing society where environment changes people’s outlook and behaviour about sex, no matter in what disguises, is frightening indeed. It is a game played by two willing individuals and the risk of being caught is the additional element in the excitement to thrill the libido or is it for one’s needs?

Be it infidelity or extra-marital affair that is commonly indulged by cheating partners, it comes from various situations especially when opportunities prevail.

Such illicit indulgence will keep sailing into the uncharted waters of sexual gratifications and with men piloting the ship, reflexology outlets in disguise will stay perennial.

Excitement Should Go With Precaution

The first of May is around the corner and the anxiety begins for those who are going to participate in the peaceful gathering for the GST Protest.

The various NGOs and political body are going to make their presence felt. Through the grapevines, it seems that the crowd could be huge.

In the event of the inevitable to come, it is better to get ready to protect yourself and your equipment.

Lets turn back the pages of time and see for yourself what I mean.

The four short clips were from a peaceful protest by the Iranian students on the 16 June 2009 at Damansara. It was a protest against the election of their president back home.

Unexpectedly, a peaceful event had turned ugly. Why?

The following clips were recorded on 01 August 2009 during the Anti-ISA Protest in the vicinity of Sogo at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, and the other at Jalan Raja Laut.

As expected the police will come on hard on the peaceful protesters. Why?

For precautionary purposes, we have to be well-prepared. Check out the followings.

1. Do not wash your face with water when affected by teargas. Get someone to blow cigarette smoke onto your face.

2. When gasping for air, quickly put in a few grains of salt into the mouth to taste.

3. When the water canon is about to spray (usually chemical laced) quickly cover your equipment with a disposable raincoat (cost RM 2.50 at 7-Eleven outlet) including yourself.

4. Then take shelter at any available place to protect yourself.

5. The safer place is to follow the FRU officers from behind. But action is limited.

6. Come home in one piece.

Are You Sure?

When I posted my projected win of 90 – 1500 majority for Zaid Ibrahim, many of my friends said that the figures are under-estimated.

Yes, Zaid surpasses his counterpart in many aspects, be it in personality, academic qualifications and principle which harness the expected quintessence that is required of by a member of parliament. So, he deserves more!

My answer is very simple. What the numbers will be for his majority, just times by seventy per cent and that should be the appropriate majority.

Perception differs from one person to another but the fact remains that the seventy per cent is the Houdini act.

I am not going to twist my words nor am I going to feel sorry for the “wrong” forecast. I stand by my perception – before, now and then! I am not going to say, let the best man win. The winner is not the best man after all neither the Hulu Selangorians’ choice!

What Sibu holds for the Sarawakians? It will be the same old tune to fight buy-election!

8-2 In The Making

The time is up for “ceramah” and comes Sunday – the threshold for the wind of change to blow will be the historical day for all eligible voters in Hulu Selangor to cross the Rubicon.

The news spread far and wide about the overwhelming crowd (close to fifteen-thousand strong) of Pakatan Rakyat supporters inside and outside the Kuala Kubu Baru mini-stadium could not be wrong about the victory to be.

It does not matter anymore what the majority will be as long as the sweet smell of victory fills the air by Sunday night.

The next stop – Sibu Sarawak here we come!

Zaid Ibrahim Is The Man

Projected Result – Hulu Selangor By-Election 2010

All the previous by-elections saw the distinct desperation from BN wanting to win. In their do or die heave for the final push, everything goes in Hulu Selangor!

The win in this by-election in Hulu Selangor plays a vital role and a yardstick to project the chances from the two sides in the coming Sibu by-election for an anticipated edge.

Judging from the demeanour of the voters, they definitely have their mind made up whom they want to represent them in parliament.

In such chessboard of political game, PR has played along well by turning the table around and the advantages become obvious to garner for sympathy votes.

The BN choice of Kamal or Alan or Nathan or Appu is the wrong choice indeed! But with the goodies given and all the promises to come, Kamal will not be thrashed brutally by the voters in his constituency.

Which way will the wind blow? The “ceramah” tonight will provide the additional “punch” to cement the choice for tomorrow’s D-Day!

Say what you like, it is going to be a clear cut result for PR to retain the Hulu Selangor parliamentary seat.

What Najib Has Done

On the 17 April 2010 in Kuala Kubu Baru, the Pakatan Rakyat supporters heard for the first time about the truth of Najib’s overseas trip.

A new breed of Members of Parliament starts to emerge without fear or favour to tell the citizens of Malaysia what are happening in the country are lauded for their quintessence, and one of them is Dr.Hatta.

It is really a frightening piece of information to realise how the country is steered and to what direction.
