I walk with you Haris!

the only candle lighted at Dataran

Haris is initiating another petition to His Majesty the Yang DiPertuan Agong to register our concerns on the judicial appointments and to appeal for His Majesty’s intervention.

The position of Chief Justice falls vacant on 18th October, 2008.

I support Haris Ibrahim petition to the Agung to not sanction the appointment of Tan Sri Zaki as Chief Justice.

In October, 2007 5,036 anak-anak Bangsa Malaysia petitioned His Majesty, appealing that Fairuz’s term as Chief Justice not be extended, as was then sought by the Prime Minister. His Majesty did take note of the concerns voiced by those 5,036 individuals.

You can make the difference, show that you care by taking part in this petition.

Cafe Fullhouse



I am very busy at this moment putting the finishing touch to Cafe Fullhouse that will launch it's soft opening on the 18th of July. I have the pleasure to help the owner to set up the kitchen and planned the cafe menu.

The food served at Cafe Fullhouse will be a mixture of western and local food. The special item I introduced is nasi dagang, the secret recipe came all the way from Trengganu.

Pond of Red


Taffer's Room, Hawkeye, Old Ben and me reach PJ stadium around 11am, during the journey we noticed 2 road block along Old Klang road manned by 2 police personal. We did not noticed any police or army presence at the vicinity of the stadium,however Pas's Unit Amal were out there to supervise the traffic and securities. Didn't have any problem to find a parking space next to the stadium entrance. The intimidation by the authorities must have work as there were less than 5,000 participants when we entered the stadium.

Hawkeye and I make our way to the nearest food stall for a decent bowl of soup beef noodle for brunch. The Malay style beef soup spiced with herbs is refreshing from the famous one that I usually enjoyed at Ipoh.


the bloggers and the bloggee.

Meet E Woon, People's Parliament and Meesh in the stadium, they left early.The helicopter which we are familiar now make it's routine appearance, this time we are also entertained by unidentified people high up on the roof of Glomac building. I discovered that I cannot make any calls or sms when the organiser asked us to get our friends and families using our hand phones to fill the stadium. Capt. Lokeman suggested that intelligence agents must be at work using sophisticated gadgets to jam up communication.

We stayed till around 4 pm before a few of us make a dash to the nearest watering hole to quench our thirst, for our hunger we must have polished 2 loaf of toasted bread with chicken curry. By now I estimated the crowd must have swelled to 10,000 and rising.



The cry of "TURUN TURUN" followed by "TURUN MINYAK" and "TURUN BN" were chanted by all the speakers and the organiser MC, do creep under my nerve as the cries were overdone but that's the main purpose of this rally.


a little darling at Protes

Don't that bring a tear to your eyes and if anyone dare to tell me that her parent is irresponsible
to bring her to the rally, I tell you, especially those who did not attend the rally, you do not have the right to make any moral judgement. The Rakyat are suffering from the fuel hike and many are desperate to make end need. The burdens faced by majorities of Rakyat are real and the full blunt are coming knocking soon. Wondering if she will have a full stomach when she rest tonight?

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today labelled the day-long anti-oil hike rally yesterday as a failure because of the poor turnout.
MCPX

He said that the rally, organised by the Coalition Against Inflation (Protes) at the Kelana Jaya stadium, had failed to achieve its target of one million people.

I really think that BN politician is either thick in his head or thick in his face. The Rakyat are crying for help and here he think he is participating a popular contest. It doesn't matter a million people didn't turn up at the Protes rally because for every rakyat there ,a thousand more rakyat are supporting the cause silently. Removed the bullying and intimidating threats from politician, police and now military, the stadium, if not the streets in Malaysia will be filled with seas of red and not a pond of red at PJ stadium.

Were informed that at least 30,000 rakyat turned up latter in the evening to hear opposition leaders especially Lim Kit Siang and Anwar giving their speech.

Can the real Bala please come forward !


I got a sms from Zorro at around 3pm informing that there will be another PC at PKR headquarters at 5pm. Seem that Bala have a change of heart and make a second Statutory Declaration stating that the content made in the 1st SD are false and want to retract it.

Lawyer Americk Singh said that Bala must have make the second SD under duress after having kari kepala ikan with a certain ASP at Brickfield. But Bala declared that he make the first SD under the same circumstances too. That doesn't make PKR and Singh look good and hence another PC in less than 24 hours.

Look like there are a lot of arses to cover because Singh got another lawyer Manjeet to guard his back.During QA , Manjeet interjected and answered certain deem non favourable questions thrown by the press towards Americk.

part of the audience at the PC.

Balasubramanian's nephew have make a police reporting that his uncle and his family is missing. The police believes that Bala is presently hiding in a neighbourly Asean country. Last night Bala gave R Kumaresan a call informing that he is alright but could not talk freely. He did not reveal his whereabout when asked by his nephew.

Bala at the 1st PC


Bala at the 2nd PC


At least we know that he is still alive and his family is safe. Putting aside all the speculation of what prompt Bala to make flip flop SDs and whatever the reasons why he went missing immediately after his 2nd SD, can the real Bala please step forward? The public demand the truth from you

Balasubramaniam Revelations

PKR HQ, Merchant Square, Tropicana.

Received a sms from People's Parliament last night that DSAI will be holding a press conference this morning at 11am at PKR headquarter to reveal evidence linking Najib to Altantuya.

Forget about the PC until I read in Zorro blog that he will be attending the PC, I estimated that I can just make it on time unless there is a traffic jam.

Need to register before they allowed you to enter the building,the conference room is on the 1st floor.Note this, all media need to register themselves except Utusan Melayu, they are not welcome. I got in as a blogger after the security verified with Zorro.



Malaysiakini

Private investigator P Balasubramaniam has made shocking claims that Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had links with murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

MCPX

He revealed that Najib had also informed his close associate Abdul Razak Baginda that Inspector General of Police Musa Hassan was 'taking care' of the murder case which implicated Abdul Razak.

He further revealed that his evidence linking Najib to the murdered Mongolian was removed by the police and prosecutors during the murder trial - a move seen to protect the DPM

These shocking revelations were made by Balasubramaniam in a statutory declaration which he filed on July 1 and was revealed by PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim in a packed press conference this morning.

Anwar fight back and he is not alone this time



Old Ben took a rain cheque so I went alone to Stadium Melawati, the second time this week, this time to attend Anwar Ibrahim gathering. When I entered the stadium at 8.30pm it's already half fill and people are flowing in from all direction. What a big difference compared to the Anti-ISA rally a few day ago.

At the stand the leaders of PR gathered to show their support for Anwar, YB Sivarasa gave the first speech, telling the crowd that he and PKR legal team are ready to fight to the end for Anwar Ibrahim. YB Azmin then took the stage, he pledged his loyalty to Anwar and urged all PKR supporters and Rakyat to stand firm with the great leader in this time of tribulation.




When Anwar entered the stadium, the cheering, clapping and the battle cry REFORMASI were deafening. The atmosphere were electrifying, everyone was standing ,waving, the adulation and admiration permeated the air, supporting the man who is designated to be the next Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Anwar have the crowd mesmerised for the next hour, telling the crowd that there will be a change of government soon. The accusation of sodomy by the government is the desperate measure of a sinking BN government to keep it's grip to power. The accusation is politically motivated and intended to kill his political comeback. He pointed out that the Government have got information that PKR wanted to announce a by election for Anwar to enter parliament. He also said that due to this development ,the announcement of 4 BN MP, 2 from UNMO joining PR will delayed to later date .




He vowed to fight to the end the new sodomy accusation, Lawan Tetap Lawan was the main theme and the fight now is not about Anwar Ibrahim but the fight for the Country and Rakyat Bangsa Malaysia. He touched on increased in cost of living and the people suffering and he reconfirmed that the price of petrol will be reduced once he come to power. The BN government is only interested to fill their pockets, taking care of their families and in- law but ignoring the plight and suffering of the rakyat ,clearly have the crowd roaring in support.




Anwar stressed that he is set up and he have proof that the former aide was in contact with police chief Musa Hassan and Najib wife Rosmah Mansur. The allegation was a conspiracy hatched from Najib office. Anwar will go on a nationwide roadshow to clear his name.





The people that I talked to believes that Anwar is innocent and the government is very afraid of him. I recalled before March 8th, the Prime Minister said who is Anwar, he is a nobody. How the tide have changed now. The people want a change in government as they see BN government weak and do not have the rakyat interest on their mind. The BN government is falling apart,where the 3 main parties are facing internal parties problems. The leaders are jostling for position, in fighting for their own political survivor.

Everyone believed that Anwar Ibrahim is the Nation saviour. we believe he will be able to fulfill his promise of ketuanan rakyat where all the races in Malaysia will have a fair go in every aspect.We expect the country economy to perform better when professionally managed by a capable team. The writing now is with all the happening with the present government, how much worse off can we expect if Anwar come to power?

I am ready to take the chance with Anwar, what about you?

When it doesn't concern me,why care


I called Old Ben at work asking him whether he is game for another round to show support ,this time the GMI gathering at Stadium Melawati at Shah Alam to repeal the draconian ISA act. Old Ben wondered whether the bone crushing, head opening, free and batons happy swinging troopers are there with their acid rain sprayer brothers.

Good question Bacherlorboy Ben as the beating incident at Bandar Mahkota Cheras and recently the arrest of 6 brave people at an anti fuel hike peace walk plus read a blog that there is a video of some beating at the fuel walk, show the police are batons happy now.

We meet at the Wharf's at 7.30pm , lost the way to the stadium and have to call Yewtube for direction. Walked into the stadium expecting a big crowd but was greeted by more media personal then participants. Meet fellow bloggers and friends at the middle terrace and everyone were disappointed at the poor turn up. The organiser expected 15,000 people and at 8.30 pm when the programme was suppose to start,I took a head count and estimated less than 500 people.




bloggers and friends at Stadium Melawati


The programme got on the way on 9.30pm with speakers from 2 ex detainee, a potential detainee from Hindraf and 4 other potential ISA candidates representative from PR. The experiences related by the ex detainee are not pleasant, they are tortured, humiliated, threatening their love one and I am sad such cruel inhuman acts are happening in civilised Malaysia. Every speakers call for the repeal of the ISA acts and the crowds agreed heartily.


The crowd trickle in slowly, at 10.30pm I estimated there are about 1,500 people.

We shared the grief of the families of the 70 odd detainees, the pain of the detainees some languishing at Kamunting Camp up to 6 years without court trial. I will pray to the ever loving and compassionate God to deliver all the detainees from the evil of ISA. Release them to rejoin and rebuilt their tattered life with their families.

I believe that the rakyat will turn out in force on the 6th at Jln. Timur, PJ to protest the fuel hike because the increase in petrol affect them. The word itself ISA, send shiver down our spines and put fear in our hearts. Don't you think it's already good reasons for us to support the call by concerned rakyat appealing the government to abolish the ISA acts?
