I have lamented as far back as four years ago that there is a general sense of insecurity in NegaraKu wit the presence of large numbers of illegal immigrants here, and the police then were more interested in using the Internal Security Act to serve the political masters' interests -- like catching Oppositon leaders, NGO activists and any anti-Establishment guys who expose the official wrongdoings.
* With the new Deputy Prime Minister asking a few stupid times WHY must the opposition and other parties keep on harping of the issue of the BN canidate for Permatang Pasir, Rohaizat Othman's past record of misbehaviour as a lwayer and his disbarment by the Malaysian Bar Council, I as a common citizen am very afraid that a future PM could not see the relvance of an candiadte's lack of integraty to have been shortlisted inthe first place. Maybe the UMNO goons were acted as, whatelse? but goons to have been caught with their pants down. But Muhyiddin Yassin's "damage control" is actually showing himself up as a leader not of PM material.
* With again the DPM telling the TWO KEY PARTIES involved in the potentially RM12.5billion foiasco that is the PKFZ, namely Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat and Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd boss Tiong King Sing NOT TO CONTINUE WILL THEIR PUBLIC SPAT -- for the sakes of maintaining BN-UMNO-MCA's image! -- but instead conduct a peace meeting behind closed doors...YES< MUHYIDDIN ADVISED THE PROTAGONISTS to come to an "amicable settlement".
I screamed when I read of the DPM's comment well recorded even by the MSM: WHAT?
By preaching this "Kau Tim" culture where even wrongdoings -- especially among BN component party leaders, in this case, an MCA President and the Chairman of the BN Backbenchers' Club, can be "solved" behind closed doors. Close one eye? Or Close four eyes?
I am very afraid that indeed Malaysia is announcing to the whole wide world (www.... so apt eh! Globalised Village!) that the DPM preaches non-abiding of the law. Yes, a wrongdoing by key Governmnet officers can be "amicable settled" if the CEO or DEputy CEO of NegaraKu says so. The double standards in application of the law here shows in no uncertain terms the past five years our leaders have been helping us down that slope into lawlessness.
"God save Malaysia from our Government and leaders,
I:
S:
A: men"
Postscript: I wait with bated breath to see how the PM and DPM and his subordinates deal with the explosive contents of that "mysterious letter" that Officially came into public domain last Wednesday -- when a copy of which was given to lawyer Gobing Singh as well of political aide Teoh Beng Hock... For laggards not in the know, please surf to malaysia-today.net by the host's good offices, the original Bahasa letter from a group of MACC Selangor officers has been well translated into English too. I have not an iota of doubt this letter is authentic and the Police now have a splitting headache how to proceed. The explosive revelations shows an ex-MB of Selanor and an almost top gun at MACC Selangor have lots to answer.
DESIDERATA's parting: I wonder if I can negotiate rights to a Hollywood movie -- Desi wit' his 20million ambition. Smooth or slippery paths, matey?
PS: Desi's working XXtra heart for thee, EsteamedReaders, because I have lots of time/no dime on my hand, and fingers art itchy!:(

If you’re someone who Pak Lah says is a good wakil rakyat, you can expect to receive this sort of treatment:
All 37 charges against controversial Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros and five of his business partners instituted by the Companies Commission (CC) have been withdrawn.
… Mozni Sham Ahmad and Joseph R. Samuel who appeared for Zakaria, his partners and the two companies said the charges were withdrawn because the “outstanding problems had been settled”.
Companies Commission’s prosecutor Azmil Haron told magistrate Fadzilatul Isma Ahmad Refngah that he had been instructed to withdraw the charges against the two companies and its directors. [The Star]
Semua boleh settle, innit? What can I say except, Hidup Pak Lah!
SPEAKING OF Port Klang, you caught the New Straits Times’ front page today — Govt throws lifeline to Port Klang Free Zone?
All I want to highlight here is this — remember the mug shots I put up in that other post?
Some of you asked who they were. Ok. Turn to Page 4 of the New Straits Times today. See the graphic, “Cost of Port Klang Free Zone”, and read the Note, which says:
Port Klang Authority bought land from Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd at RM25 per sq ft. Kuala Dimensi bought the land at RM3 per sq ft.
Who sold the land to Kuala Dimensi?
It was Syarikat Koperasi Nelayan Melayu Pulau Indah Sdn Bhd. The cooperative’s chairman at the time was Onn Ismail.
He is currently the Umno permanent chairman, Selangor State Assembly speaker, as well as Kapar Umno permanent chairman. Abang Zek up there is one of his machais.
The chairman of Kuala Dimensi is Azim Zabidi, who is currently Umno treasurer, as well as chairman of Bank Simpanan Nasional and Bukit Bintang Umno chief.
He is also the chairman of various other corporate concerns. Such a talented man, he is.
The deputy CEO of public listed Wijaya Baru Global Bhd, which owns Kuala Dimensi, is Faizal Abdullah.
He is Kapar Umno youth chief and Selangor Umno deputy youth chief, as well as son-in-law of Onn Ismail.
Faizal resigned from the Majlis Perbandaran Klang after he was found to have constructed his house without the proper approvals, just like Abang Zek.
This is what he said then:
“I will take the punishment but will still like to serve the party and the people in the future.”
“Let this be an important lesson for me to be more responsible when carrying out the mandate given by the party and the people,” he added.
… “It shows the importance of the need to respect the law especially now that the people have become more aware.” [The Star]
The land agreement between Port Klang Authority and Kuala Dimensi was drafted by Rashid Asari & Co.
The firm is headed by Abdul Rashid Asari, who is Kapar Umno vice-chief, and member of Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam.
So there you go.
As I have said before, Malaysians are very generous.
People rob our country and what do we do? We give them more money.
And worst, after that, we let them go, just like that.
Because if I were a betting man, I would bet my mother, my father, my wife and my children that these people will still be in positions of power, authority and influence after the next general election.
Nothing changes if we Malaysians do not change things. MERDEKA!

Ahmad Said: Not fair to link me to son’s offence
PUTRAJAYA: As chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan is fully aware that all his actions and that of his family members as well will always come under public scrutiny.
“Everybody says it’s a hot seat, but I have been here (previously the ACA) for the last 24 years and it has always been hot,” he said.
Ahmad Said has served in various capacities in the ACA, including as director-general before being appointed MACC chief commissioner.
Ahmad Said has been attacked in blogs and via e-mail over the issue of his son bringing child pornographic material into Aus-tralia. His son, a pilot, pleaded guilty and paid a fine for the offence.
Ahmad Said vehemently denies that it was child pornography. He said that the titles of the video clips found in his son’s laptop computer were misleading.
“I can bet with you that it’s something that you will find on most men’s handphones,” he said.
Ahmad Said also questioned the motive of those linking him to his son’s offence.
“Why are they targeting me? I did nothing over there. It’s like committing a traffic offence here and paying the summons – and then the father gets blamed for it. Is that fair? It’s brainless,” he said.
He pointed out that the offence happened in 2007 but has resurfaced now because of his appointment as MACC chief commissioner.
“There were other Malaysian and Singaporean pilots who also paid fines for similar offences, but my son was picked on (by the blogs) because of his link to me,” he said in an interview with Sunday Star.
Ahmad Said, however, sympathises with his son and in-laws, who have been dragged into the picture unnecessarily. He also dismisses the claims that he interfered and asked Malaysia Airlines for help.
“There was no interference. People called me up and asked me if I wanted help. I said ‘Nothing doing’.
“I said let him face it, although I got him a lawyer,” he said.
