RAHMAN It Is!

Posted by Kai on March 27th, 2009

With the UMNO elections drawing to a close, we have seen an astonishing discovery.

 

This time, for certain, the legacy left behind by our first prime minister is complete. Tunku Abdul RAHMAN forged a spell that lasted for the life of Malaysia so far, in terms of government administration.

 

It was RAHMAN that left us knowing that Najib would be prime minister. As if reacting to our predictions, the previous UMNO General Assembly voted him as Deputy President. With Abdullah Badawi announcing that he will not defend his post in this assembly, Najib will complete the RAHMAN spell.

 

If you still don't understand the theory of RAHMAN, here it goes.

 

 

R - Rahman

A - Abdul Razak

H - Hussein Onn

M - Mahathir

A - Abdullah

N - Najib

 

How coincidental! As you can see, the names (or fragments of the names) of our prime ministers make up the word RAHMAN. Najib's initial N will finish off the word RAHMAN as the sixth prime minister of Malaysia.

 

And there RAHMAN ends. Period.

 

After Najib's reign, where would Malaysia go? The RAHMAN hex ends right there. Does it mean there will be no more Malaysia?

 

Or maybe, the recently voted-in Deputy President of UMNO, Muhyiddin Yassin - will take over? Muhyiddin's initial Y of Yassin will probably make a fine addition to RAHMAN. It will become RAHMANY - rhymes with HARMONY.

 

This is a rare case of such and it must be passed on from generation to generation. Cheers! and goodbye Pak Lah... we'll miss you.

Mahathir: Whose side is he on?

Posted by Kai on November 18th, 2008

Tun Dr Mahathir... our former premier, a great doctor and an aspirational prime minister. Yet, after his retirement, he confuses us with his staggering remarks on politics.

Zooming back in time, he sentenced his deputy Anwar Ibrahim to jail, condemning him for corruption and sodomy. Till now, he holds a strong grudge toward Anwar, more or less... afraid of Anwar's rise to power.
Couple of years ago, he blamed current prime minister Abdullah Badawi for not being a good PM. Abdullah calls them "venomous darts hurled at him". And yet, till now, Mahathir stills holds a similar grudge toward him. Moreover, he blasted Samyvellu, our former works minister, for being racist. Look who's the racist here?
Mahathir dislikes the opposition leader, and holds a prejudice on the government leader.
Recently Mahathir left UMNO. That staggering move shocked us all. Mahathir leaves the party he has sworn to support. After this, which party will he join... PAS? In this case, if he does not side the BN, nor does he side the opposition, whose side is he on?

Sept 16 – The True Merdeka?

Posted by Kai on September 5th, 2008

"Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!" - Tunku Abdul Rahman, 31/8/57 and 16/9/63.

Malaya, not Malaysia, got its independence from the imperial British on the prosperous day of 31st August 1957. But now we are Malaysia, together with Sabah and Sarawak, and our country's independence day is September 16th 1963.

Malaysia's only 45 years old, although Malaya's already 51. Ignorance of the East Malaysians is somewhat disgraceful. Together, we are Malaysia. Even Tunku Abdul Rahman yelled MERDEKA seven times after Sabah and Sarawak joined Malaysia, in Stadium Merdeka.
It was a more glorious day than 31st August 1957. The works of our dedicated politicians freeing the states of Sabah, Sarawak; and even Brunei and Singapore. It was only 45 years ago the British left our lands. Malaysian land.
Malaysia's true merdeka day.
At present, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim is extremely confident he can create history by Sept 16 2008. He believes he can topple the ruling government, thus marking the 45th anniversary of Malaysia's independence day. What a day it would be.
According to Malaysiakini, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's bid to seize power will fail, Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi said, while promising to thwart attempts to overthrow his government.

A heap of controversy and doubts over this Sept 16 feat. Opposition seems confident, so does the governmental party.
What would the outcome be? Is it worth all the enthusiasm?

Pre-Olympic Annoyances

Posted by Kai on May 18th, 2008

The host for the prestigious Olympic Games is always one who benefits the most in the world ready to embrace globalisation. But for China in this pre-Olympic time, it is disaster.

First, the Tibetan protesters are outrageous. They burnt and tore down Chinese structures and snatched the Olympic Torch from some poor handicapped woman during the torch relay. Don't they support the Chinese, who have taken up the responsibility to host the Games? Note this: Tibetans are not sidelined from the Olympics, so do not mix politics with sports!
SOME PRO-CHINA FELLA MUST HAVE WRITTEN THIS GRAFITTI, WHICH I SPOTTED AND TOOK A PHOTO.


32,000 reported dead in China's densely populated province of Sichuan, due to a destructive earthquake which was 7.9 on the richter magnitude scale. This is a WOW factor to add to China's misery as Olympic hosts. Even the pollution in Beijing was a factor to make it worse as some athletes like the world number one tennis player Justine Henin, decided not to go for the Games.

Let's hope this mighty economical nation would be able to cope with these threats to host a better Olympic Games in 2008.

Anwar is Back. To the throne.

Posted by Kai on April 11th, 2008

He was once the finance minister of Malaysia. He was a faithful supporter of Barisan Nasional and UMNO. He had risen to become deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. He was a daredevil to challenge the former PM of Malaysia for the prestigious seat in the government.
But, all that ended up as the 'Downfall of Anwar Ibrahim'. He was thwarted with a sentence to prison for six years in 1998. Anwar's stay in jail was later changed to nine years for accused sodomy.

During his stay in jail, his wife Wan Azizah Ismail formed an opposition party Parti Keadilan Rakyat in order to campaign for Anwar's ideology of reformasi. After his release from prison about 2 years ago, he was campaigning for PKR to win in the March 2008 elections.

As a result of his encouraging speeches given the the people, PKR eventually earned the highest number seats in the parliament among the opposition parties including DAP, PAS and PKR itself.

Exactly on April 14 2008, Anwar Ibrahim will have the privilege of returning into the political world. Since he couldn't take part in the elections but only as an advisor, his wife Wan Azizah will hand him the parliamentary seat and get him back into politics.

Now he's getting ready. He's formed Pakatan Rakyat. He has returned.

From then on, can he challenge the PM once again for the "throne"?
