Pairin Kitingan - What Next?

Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan had been asked by the party's divisional chief for Kiulu Sindin Ranggangon to step down from the post which he had held since the party's formation 23 years ago.

"Pairin's leadership is no longer effective because he practised favouritism and had failed to take into consideration the people's sensitivity," Sindin said, adding that this was the general consensus among the Kiulu division committee and party's members during a meeting recently.

I agree to all Mr. Ranggangon statements but one. This;

"He said the most appropriate leader to take over from Pairin has to be Deputy President Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili."

Maximus Ongkili is no better. He is not capable lah! He is a Science, Technology and Innovation Minister. We know that Sabahans are mostly unhappy because of PBS indifference to the current political conflicts.

Go on and ask any level-headed "informed" Sabahans, majority are unhappy. All of them find relevance in Datuk Yong Teck Lee vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister. Yet PBS still play deaf.

Maximus will never cross the line! He will never be critical towards the government policy. Afraid of losing his job lah tu,. For that matter, he is NOT a right candidate for PBS president.

It appears that PBS is on shaky ground. Former PBS supreme council member, Dr. Chong Eng Leong had already quit the party. So what is next Pairin?

Syed Hamid: Government won’t ask cops to drop case

Could this be right? It couldn't be that police get orders from the government, acts only when there's order. Drop a criminal case on order from the government?

This is absurd, a bit perplexing. I wrote this many times; the government is run by Barisan Nasional, simply because they won in the general election. Barisan Nasional is led by UMNO. Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister are the president and Deputy president of UMNO.

Prime Minister command the house, when he said POM! Everybody in the cabinet sings with him in rhythmic cadence POM POM POM POm POm Pom Pom pom pom..................

Yet the police get order from the government? Do ministers have credential to order police?

I think police should not take orders from the government, especially in Malaysia. They should be free to act on their own intelligence!

My Rule of Law, My Internal Affair

Our country is governed by rule of law and Malaysia constitution, we the rakyat must adhere to the stated "Rukunegara". Two of the charters state about respects and upholding of the country Laws and Consitutions.

If you want to know more or never learn about Rukunegara, I suggest you go buy those elementary school exercise books. Not to do exercise nor fantasizing your spanking schooldays hot teacher. Turn the book around, read the five lines at the back page. That's Malaysia Rukunegara.

It has been taught to every Malaysian, young and old, rich and poor, bright and inept. All got a taste of Rukunegara, forced into our brain, indoctrinated.

This point is always being used by our ministers whenever another country like America issued a statement about our internal politics.

Rais Yatim and Syed Hamid Albar are loud in this respect. Do not meddle in our internal affair! We have our own constitution! We have the rule of Law! Let justice be served by our own rule of law! Other country cannot speak anything against our system! Other country cannot speak on our behalf! We have our rule of LAW.

Yes, we have our rule of LAW, we have our court and justice system. Right! So do North Korea, they have their own constitution. They have their rule of LAW. That is right, North Korea rule of LAW is sovereign. Nobody can meddle with them.

North Korea rule of LAW includes to treat Kim Hyung Ill as the GOD. If you badmouth Kim, you can be shot point blank. That includes looking at his portrait and scream supports to him. Master Kim, I will serve you till I die! Master Kim I will work harder for you! Lord Kim thank you for all your blessings in this land!

The truth is North Korea rule of LAW oppressed its people, in other words the people are equivalent to animals. Malnutrition, dying young, executions of a whole family if one of its member betrayed the North and cross over to the south. Think of every evil things that can be done to human being, go find them in North Korea.

Even saying thing like "Aiseh, this year we have bad crops lah, what is the government doing ah?". If you are North Korean and you say that, and somebody hear you. Your whole family will be sent to prison. Maybe death sentence for you too.

That is the rule of LAW. Rule of LAW! Constitution!

We also have our rule of LAW, nobody can touch us. We are not far different from North Korea in that respect.

Where is P. Balasubramaniam?

That is the question. No matter what the police are doing, it seems all the ongoing investigations are centred around the oppositions.

So far, only the IGP and AG were called to give statements. Pertaining to a different case committed in 1998. About falsification of evidences.

Please lah! Bala can shed light to a lot of questions. Who are really responsible in the murder of Altantuya Shaaribuu? Bala can answer that. He is an important witness to the tragedy.

The police knows his whereabout. But why defer his return to Malaysia? Why?

Also, remember that Justice Mohd Zaki said he would begin hearing submissions from all parties on July 23. Which is tomorrow!

After hearing the submissions, Justice Mohd Zaki will then decide whether or not to order C/Insp Azilah, 32, Kpl Sirul Azhar, 37, and Abdul Razak, 48, to enter their defence. Or he can release them there and then? If the prosecution team cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that these three are involved.

I hope no more delays in the hearing. Perhaps Bala can book a flight back tonight. Far-fetched? maybe.

Justice remains elusive for this trial, a long way to go. Let's just wait and see.

In the meantime, we pray for justice to prevail, come hell or high water.

Forensic School Gone Awry

First the police arrested Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, forced him to go through thorough medical check up. They failed to obtain a new DNA sample from him, due to some loophole in the Law, which prevents anyone to obtain DNA without consent.

As expected the ministers high and low preached about the need for fresh DNA sample in order to get accurate Matching result. The big question! Is it really necessary for fresh DNA sample to perform accurate matching?

Yesterday Raja Petra Kamarudin posted an article about this. He wrote that DNA profile of a person once gotten will never expires. The same is true for fingerprint profile.

That's how god made us, unique alleles bestowed to everybody, it is in you from the day you were copulated until the day you die, and beyond. Because DNA is in your bones, your DNA can still be extracted long after you were buried.

DNA academic has been around for decades, scientifically developed. Taught in universities for aspired forensic wannabe.

Are the ministers trying to form a novel scientific hypothesis on DNA? That DNA profile could expires. To be published in DNA journals. If that so, then our ministers deserve to be elected as the next Nobel prize winners.

Pending scientific proof, if it's true. It's great news for me. I can change my DNA codes, be an ugly toad tomorrow, resting in the garden of some medieval castle. So I can wait for a stunning princess to kiss me. Hehe.

That's my fable fantasy gone bad.

To preach that a fresh DNA is needed for accurate matching is by all means a new subject in school. DNA never expires.

But if it is not true. Then I say sorry to aspiring CSIs here in Malaysia. Our ministers could have tarnished your reputation around the world. Switch to fashion courses while you still can.

Nonetheless, a new forensic frontier is in the making.

Illegal Immigrants Operations, Are we there yet?

My post this morning was a gratitude extended to the federal government. To express our real situation, in being shoved the money down our throat, metaphorically! Even though we Sabahans are not going to have a glimpse of that money.

Well it's not meant for us anyway. They are for the illegal immigrants, for their temporary lodging, for their food and drinks while in detention, for the salary of the enforment officers, and maybe directors of any agency involved.

The catch is, the government is trying to convey their sincerity, to convince Sabahans that they now empathize us, to make Sabahans believe and of course throw votes at them in general election, to put their feet in our shoes. To help Sabahans in facing this never-ending problem.

The timing of the 50 million budget bring forth many questions. More so when there are elements of pressures againts the government. Why now? Why not 10 years ago? And what would happen 10 years from now?

I do not want to speculate what would happen in the next 10 or 20 years from now. But without political pressures, i think, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to tell the outcome.

Surely we cannot maintain the current state of affairs, the political uncertainties. If it does, then our country economy will plunge into unknown abyss. That is not good for Sabah too.

Everyone envisions a stable political affair, prosperous economy and surely more money in our pocket. And I think this uncertainties will surely whittle away very soon. Making way for a more certain future.

There can only be two possibities for the situation to change for the better. First Pakatan Rakyat to lose its power and Barisan Nasional to recapture the government with an even bigger mandate. And the second is Pakatan Rakyat to overthrow Barisan Nasional out of Putrajaya, and forming the new government.

For Sabahans, the latter is like a not tested debutante and there are valid reasons to be jittery about it, although lots of carrots are on offer. The former, though promising at this point in time, still raised hesitations among the Sabahans.

You see, the current Illegal Immigrant operations is largely seen as a short term solution to the problems. Illegal immmigrants have been in Sabah for hundreds of years, if not thousands. Their ancestors could have landed here long before the first Chinese set foot in Sabah. Why the chinese are given nationality?

Before you jeer and throw stones at me. Let me tell you my late grandfather is also a chinese.

That argument itself, can make very sticky discussions between the countries involved. I personally think it will not be solved in a year or two or five or ten.

But this 50 million ringgit allocated by the federal government. How far do you think it's going lessen the problem? What equipments are they going to buy? And how much would they costs?

Nevertheless, on face value, the government is surely getting significant support for this so-called generosity. Since people want to believe that the government is very serious in that matter.

Some Sabahans may view that the government is sincere. Before you join these people to sing chorus of support. Let us just hop into a time machine. Look at the situation from a different perspective, draw a mental picture in your mind, 10 years from now.

When the political climate is good, no more pressures on the government. We no longer have Barisan's outcast like Yong Teck Lee. Will the government take heed of what we say?

Now close your eyes and jog your memory, what had happened 20 years ago. Until March 8, 2008. If it helps, hum your favourite 70's number, to make your journey down memory lane a breeze. The period where Barisan Nasional have absolute power in the country. Did they take heed to what we said?

Open your eyes and reflect on the past and the future. What should we do now? Always remember that History has a tendency of repeating itself.

Illegal Immigrants - Thank you for 50 Million ringgit

50 million ringgit is the money allocated by the government to get rid of illegal immigrants in Sabah. It was announced last night in TV3. Come to think of it, yes we thank Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for being generous to us Sabahans.

Thank you very much. We will be forever indebted to the federal government. How could we repay you? We cannot! Just take our land instead, use all of Sabah resources, cut our forests, rob our oil, bring your Malayan people and prosper here, we will reciprocate and send our youths to suffer there.

Convert them to be "just like you", so you can indoctrinate your belief and at the same time dilute ours. With that you kill two birds with one stone, you can increase your number and dissolve our threats.

Don't worry we are already inured to hardship. After all we are indebted to you. 50 million ringgit. Thank you.

Wait! Hang on... A little bird told me. that is not for us. Oi then for whom? For illegal immigrants.

Nevermind since our Sabahans mind told us A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

When are we going to change?
