YB RADZI AND CO QUITTING PKR WITH A 3 IN 1 INSTANT CRISIS AS FAREWELL GIFT

It may sound nothing to those who would like to think it as just another small storm in a cup waiting to be gulped into the ever-growing belly of the unspeakable, untold and undeniable truths on the disintegration within the PAKATAN (Pakatan Rakyat) hence taking it for granted. BUT the resignation of ADUN Lunas, YB Mohd Radzi Salleh from his, used to be admired and adhered to party, the PKR (Parti KeAdilan Rakyat), is a sign of other bigger, brewer and worst things to come.

YB Mohd Radzi yesterday made a statement in a press conference joined by his Padang Serai’s PKR Division Leaders and others, confirming his resignation from all posts he currently held within the party and quitting the party as well, of course. But he decided to stay on as the State of Kedah’s Exco in charge of Tourism, Community Development and Human Resource as the post is under the appointment and consent of the DYMM Sultan of Kedah. Wisely, only the Sultan of Kedah has the right to expel him, according to YB Radzi.

Not done by that, PKR received yet another blow when Acting PKR Padang Serai Division Head, En. Jamaludin Abu Hassan, also announced his resignation from the party and worst, the dissolution of PKR Padang Serai Division (which has been decided earlier at a Special Division meeting and agreed to by all the attending committee members). He also noted out that the dissolution has been endorsed, accepted and decided upon by members of the Division triggering the automatic departure of 200 hardcore party supporters from the party.

Both YB Radzi and Jamaludin cited the lost of trust toward the party as the main reason. To them, PKR has deviated too long and too far from its originated course and playing not to what ‘a party for the people’ should be. The party is instead plying its political trades to what suited the needs and personal agendas of the few or perhaps of that ‘SPECIAL ONE’ person only named Sultan Anwar Bin Ibrahim.

While the medias were getting excited, Jamaludin presented another killer blow that will knock out many in surprise. He said that he had with him the proof of that N. Gobalakrishnan (PKR’s MP for Padang Serai) was instructed or recommended by ‘THE SPECIAL ONE’ to instigate or create a scene during the nomination day of candidates for the re-election of Permatang Pasir State Assembly seat recently. He added that he had everything in audio video record but decline to elaborate further saying that everything will be out soon in the shape of CDs. And the CDs will speak for themselves.

This ‘soon to be released’ CD-single is definitely going to be a hit and something of a best selling and most sought item not just by the Rakyat and PKR supporters who started to have doubt about the party and its leaders, but the Police too.

The resignation of YB Radzi as ADUN of Lunas. The dissolution of PKR’s Padang Serai Division. And the ‘soon to be revealed’ hidden agenda of N.Gobalakrishnan recent commotion at Permatang Pasir are 3 important notes that happened in a matter of just 1 very serious press conferencing day, that will no doubt affect the current political situation and reshape the understanding within the Pakatan components. But more important, those 3 developments will chart a new perception of the Rakyats toward Pakatan especially PKR. Being a new and still fragile political bonding, the Pakatan can’t afford to have this kind of ‘Karma’ (a re-run of spate of events that took place in Perak) to take shape. What more when 3 subsequent things happened in just 1 day. That is simply too much of a 3-IN-1 thing. And again, it is the PKR who was in the limelight, stealing all the shows away from DAP and PAS, but for all the wrong reasons.

It’s a pack of 3-IN-1 instant coffee as far as the Rakyats are concern. You get a combination of the sweetness of sugar, the bitterness of coffee and the blend of pure white cream to light all up. It’s a story fits for a novel and screen drama. And who wouldn’t want another edition of that, soon. Just like having another cup of coffee for free. Well, put ice if you want to.

But to PKR and ‘THE SPECIAL ONE’ Sultan Anwar Bin Ibrahim; this 3-IN-1 instant pack of ‘POLITICAL COFFEES MADE IN LUNAS’, can ONLY taste of one thing. And that is one heck of such an awful, bitter and ‘hard to swallow’ taste.

UMNO POSTPONE ITS GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO MARCH NEXT YEAR

In a sudden but somewhat expected event of circumstances, the highest decision making body of the political party UMNO, has decided to postpone their General and Election assembly which was scheduled for December this year to March next year.

The decision was made earlier today in a special convening of UMNO Supreme Council meeting which according to a source, was to discuss the only and most priority and concerning subject of ‘Power Transition’ for the presidency post of UMNO. Although none of the crude details about the meeting were made public, it is believed the deliberations within the meeting were mostly about Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak taking over of UMNO and the process to strengthen and unite all sides in UMNO during that concerning period.

To some prominent UMNO supreme members and the most vocal in against the 2010 transitions, the postponement of the UMNO assembly to March next year, is a victory not just for a personal political principle and power, but more so for UMNO in re-branding era after the Barisan Nasional (BN) poorest showing in the 12^th General Election. Their constant insertion and persuasion have made UMNO more liberate in the eyes of many and made history of sorts too.

Many may have believed that this is the end to all speculations and the accrued dateline of March 2009 is just a mere process of getting Najib into place and to allow Pak Lah ( PM Abdullah ) to stamp the usual respected and dignified practise of handing over the baton with a smile. But the truth is, much still depend on this upcoming unchanged event of UMNO Divisional meeting between October 9 and November 9.

They are too many perspectives and views now at the grassroots level since this latest announcement by Pak Lah and UMNO Supreme Council. There are many that don’t quite understand the logic behinds the postponement of the General Assembly. Some of them even argue the sensibility of promoting unity for UMNO when the longer the period of getting the Election or Assembly done, the bigger the speculations and games would surround them.

Transition or not, 2010 or not, UMNO grassroots leaders want affirmation and confirmation. They want to know whether Pak Lah is going to hand over to Najib or not. And they want to know when. These two subjects would put their questions over the postponement date of UMNO General Assembly, to rest. And subsequently, bring the much needed unity back into UMNO.

The postponement of UMNO General Assembly is a landmark and a beginning to something that should already end long ago. It’s a signal of something is about to come that has to do with Pak Lah and his deputy Najib. It’s a welcoming step to those who understand the play that coy behind the curtain before it falls when the show starts. But it’s a show that will yet again change if the audience (UMNO 191 Divisions) decides to stick to the old script and watch the old Broadway instead.

According to a source, an announcement will be made by Pak Lah in near time but not later than November 9. And this has to be none other than the issue of Power Transition. But the whole thing is without doubt, is in the hand of Pak Lah. Not one power within the UMNO Supreme Council can take away the mandate given to an elected UMNO President. They can suggest and talk as much as they want to the boss, but to get to the grill, they still have to purchase the meat at the election-mart which is the UMNO General Assembly.

The postponement is a clear fact that something big is on its way before March 2009 and the indication is due to come from the man himself before November 9.

ABDULLAH AHMAD BADAWI POWER TRANSITION THAT MAY NOT HOLD THE POWER TO LAST IT LONG

After weeks of sabbatical leave, Malaysia political atmosphere, landscape and games are still very much the same since my last writing. Although none is bigger then the Anwar Ibrahim and his so-called prelude and pre-attempt, big-talked saga of a then, failed taking over of the government; the current political and power citations and intimidations within the largest political party in Malaysia, UMNO is the HOTTEST TALK and one that is most eagerly awaited outcome that behold and beneath the thoughts of almost all Malaysians. And it is none other than the revisiting of the subject ‘power transition’ that had been agreed upon earlier between the ‘numero uno’ not so-beloved Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his deputy Najib Tun Razak. The decision that now has been challenged by all sorts of reasons by members of UMNO highest ranked decision making committee, which is the Majlis Tertinggi or UMNO Supreme Council.

The transition idea which had been formulated by both Abdullah and Najib ages ago, now seems to be made just days earlier and such is very much subjected to some scrutinise and changes.

While Anwar Ibrahim and his broking of lies may have played a role in getting Abdullah again on the hot pan, the sentiments and the indirect cynical jesters made by some of the ruling Barisan Nasional’s component members,  plus Tun Mahathir’s constance disgust of Abdullah persona and administration,  and the urgent needs of many Malays individuals and Organizations for a better and capable leader to lead Malaysia, and too the economic fundamental standing of Malaysia which kept Malaysians guessing and foreigners running, were of the biggest factors in keeping the pan still burning as well.

But the turning point or point of no return for some of the voiced dissatisfaction over the ‘UMNO transition plan’ came in after the sudden volcanic aftermath of uncensored and unstoppable crystal clear statement made by the now seemingly guardian of UMNO, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. It was then widely reported that some key and prominent UMNO supreme council members had requested for the transition to be made happened as soon as possible; begging, urging and rationalising Abdullah with reasons ranging from the despair Anwar Ibrahim, BN’s unity, UMNO solidarity to even the upcoming 13^th National Election. And for every reason the reply given by Abdullah was still the same. And for whatever the purpose and power of a Majlis Tertinggi or a Supreme Council before and thereafter, to enact such a reasonable proposal in such a desperate and needed time, looks anything but happening and most probably would better be done through other means and channels.

But the means are only there IF Najib is to say YES. While it took Tun Mahathir to start the ball rolling and Muhyiddin and his Johoreans cronies to flush it to the public and to 3.2 mils UMNO members; the key is without doubt, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak. But only if he is brave enough to say YES.

To undo the already agreed ‘Transition of power’ is now left to the only available and rightly channel, which is the upcoming UMNO general election. And sensing the same, Abdullah now is hurrying himself catching up to some state’s division leaders. He has been making himself ‘the people president’ once again with recent visits and opening fasts in Perak and Selangor. And more is sure to come.

One thing for sure, the games played over this transition issue by Abdullah, Najib, some very strong and key UMNO highest ranking members, and political accomplishes or brokers; are more than what meet the eyes. Meetings and brokering are happening at almost every corner and turn each day.

The chances are, coming this UMNO Election; Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will still be the president of UMNO and Prime Minister of Malaysia. But most probably the transition will happen earlier than the propose 2010 after all.

ANWAR IBRAHIM AND HIS TALES OF PRECIOUS DNA THAT KEEP ON CHANGING BOTH THEIR COLORS

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) SHOULD AND COULD NOT be the issue in this latest twist involving THE POLICE and DATO SERI ANWAR IBRAHIM.

It is not a matter of fabricating the evidence, which then can easily BE CHALLENGED in court and be asked for RE-EXAMINATION AND RE-TESTING at a neutral lab under the supervision of neutral experts. It is not a matter of planting an evidence either, as the whole process from the taking of a sample up to the production of a DNA PROFILE, which took as little as 5 hours (depending), can be monitored and even executed by neutral parties or experts. What more when Anwar Ibrahim can even have his own representatives to guard or monitor the whole profiling thing to be sure that none of the given samples be taken away for other use. So what is the excuse NOT TO then?

The issue is more than what meets the eye.

This is what reported of Anwar Ibrahim saying in a press conference on July 1, 2008:

He called on the police not to spring a surprise arrest, adding his lawyers had written three letters to the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney-General indicating his willingness to co-operate in the investigation.

“They did not reply until today. TAKE MY DNA, TAKE MY HAIR ... my hair is everywhere, except this part,” said Anwar as he smiled and patted the middle part of his scalp.

And this is what Anwar Ibrahim said next after he was released prior to him not giving his DNA for investigations.

“I have my reasons, based on the advice of my lawyers and local and foreign DNA experts. My DNA sample is already with the police. Secondly, the accuser is in police custody. Anything can happen. Why the need for DNA from me?

This is then asked of his lawyer R. Sivarasa regarding foreign and neutral DNA expert’s assistance to help Anwar Ibrahim establishing the truth in which R. Sivarasa was reported saying:

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim WILL NOT AGREE to the idea of a FOREIGN FORENSIC EXPERT OF HIS CHOICE to draw a DNA sample from him, said lawyer R. Sivarasa.

“They (the police) fail to understand Anwar’s concern as explained this afternoon. It does not address the possible fabrication of DNA (test results) starting with Saiful (Bukhari Azlan) himself,”

To a question whether Anwar and his lawyers would consider allowing the international expert to carry out the DNA test, he said they could “start to look at that” as the expert might be able to advise them.

However, he said this would not make a difference if there was a possibility that the samples would be tampered with.

He said they would RESIST ANY LEGAL ACTION for Anwar to provide a DNA sample because the law does not provide for it.

Then came the last straw set by Anwar Ibrahim in order for him to give his sample for DNA testing. As reported:

At his press conference earlier, Anwar had said that if there was “compelling evidence one, two, three and four which needs an international expert,” then he would be willing to submit to DNA testing.

Meaning, UNLESS the police has one, two, three, four or more evidence, which then shall be attended and verified only by international foreign experts, he won’t be submitting any samples for DNA testing even for the CAUSE TO ESTABLISH HIS INNOCENCE.

Anwar Ibrahim said YES then NO then YES then NO then YES with conditions but then a NO UNLESS. So how can we expect to believe Anwar Ibrahim anymore??

He does not trust the police, the lab and the system. He trusts only advice given by foreign experts. The authority then suggested him to have his experts to monitor the sampling process. He bombarded the idea suggesting it as not enough a courtesy. The authority then suggested him to have his choice of foreign DNA experts to co-work with the whole DNA profiling process. He mocked the idea saying it isn’t good enough as evidence can still be fabricated. So what on earth is the way befits him that he wants? Why and what with all those excuses and reasons and escapes?? Why is he not eagerly wanting and seeking the truth and get this whole sodomy thing done once and for all? It only takes 5 hours to get a DNA profile done? What so frustrating about that? 5 hours under the eyes, microscope and hands of his own trusted and chosen DNA technicians and experts who will make sure that none of the given samples be taken away for other use. So what the issue does fabrication of evidence is and now has then? None at all! So why keep on giving excuses after excuses? Shocking, surprising, confusing yet so amusing.

DNA IS NOT THE PROBLEM so too the police and the foreign experts. THE PROBLEM IS ANWAR IBRAHIM.

As ODD AND TWISTED as the DNA may looks like, ANWAR IBRAHIM RINGING EXCUSES ARE FAR TOO TWISTED to believe that such molecules still very much alive and exist in a man’s body.

ANWAR IBRAHIM NOT GIVING HIS DNA FOR FREE WITHOUT HAVING ANOTHER TWIST INTO THE MIDST

DATO’ SERI ANWAR IBRAHIM TURNED DOWN a police request for him to allow a DNA sample to be taken. (Read here)

It is so CLEAR NOW on what BRAND OF JUSTICE AND TRUTH Anwar Ibrahim was promoting when comes to this case of sodomy involving him. Sadly, it wasn’t the one we have much expected from a man who claimed to be fighting for justice and upholding the truth.

In this latest episode of Anwar not giving his cooperation and permission to the police for his DNA to be taken to FACILITATE THE INVESTIGATION in which he is, as the accused, so much involved in, is not just a show of one Malaysian man who defied the laws and extended courtesies given to him, but more so, an act of a man who tried to NOT exposing the truth about the case and to MANIPULATE publicity into a platform to further propagates his innocence by claiming politics as the motivation for his arrests and alleged sodomy charges. When a better and sensible tool in DNA TESTING would have fast given his claimed of innocence and so-called conspiracies much truth and credibility; HE CHOSE NOT TO. WHY?. But that defying stand will be put to rest for good when the police is expected to obtain a REMAND ORDER (tomorrow) from court of law which then entitle them to fully prosecute all standard and required investigation procedures on Anwar Ibrahim, including for his DNA to be taken. Hence, Anwar Ibrahim will be, at least tonight, spending his time under police custody.

MALAYSIANS WANT THE TRUTH especially in a case as highly immoral as sodomy and as highly controversial involving one very prominent politician as Anwar Ibrahim. And that can only be known through due diligent and accorded processes of investigations which in this Anwar case, will depend much on his DNA proof. The NO by Anwar could only add to the belief by many that he is either ESCAPING THE TRUTH OR PLANNING THE TRUTH. Whichever way, it does not look good for both Anwar Ibrahim’s personalities and coming strategies.

ANWAR IBRAHIM ARRESTED AFTER SO MUCH IN DIVERTED AND IN LIBERTY

DATO SERI ANWAR IBRAHIM HAS BEEN ARRESTED earlier today at the vicinity of his house in Segambut after returning from a scheduled trip to Anti Corruption Agency (ACA) in Putrajaya but not before HE DIVERTED from his commitment to straight away go to Kuala Lumpur Police Headquarters, as planned.

The arrest was made by Bukit Aman’s Serious Crime Division and not by the more aggressive and specially tasked Special Action Force or UTK although the personnel were seen clad in UTK’s common kit of ‘Balaclava’ dressing. The arrest was the follow-up to the ARREST WARRANT issued out on Anwar for his failure to attend to police investigation of a SODOMY report made by one, Saiful Bukhari Azlan on June 28 against him. Anwar had been informed in a notice given by the police, for a compulsory attendance scheduled last Monday which he then failed to turn up and, according to the police, without any prior excuse given. But Anwar’s lawyer Sankara Nair rebutted the claim saying he had faxed a written excuse on behalf of Anwar Ibrahim to both the police and Minister in the Home Ministry.

According to Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wan Farid Wan Salleh, Anwar Ibrahim was supposed to have gone straight to the police headquarters here in Kuala Lumpur, after his interview at the Anti Corruption Agency in Putrajaya. Instead, he added, Anwar was on his way home and that was a clear possibility that he (Anwar) couldn’t and wouldn’t have made it to the police headquarters. Hence, the police had no option other than to execute the arrest warrant and arrested him.

Many observers believed Anwar Ibrahim has NO real intentions of going to the Police even with the warrant issued against him. He purposely wanted the police to come and get him so that he can channel the situation into blackmailing Malaysians for sympathy. He wants to resurrect the memory of the year 1998 when he was arrested under the same offence into the mind of Malaysians. Although the arrest this time around came under different momentum and virtue, and Anwar Ibrahim has NOT YET BEEN FORMALLY CHARGED under sodomy; the re-enactment of him being arrested by the same forces and politics 10 years ago, would have many Malaysians fell into further malicious and sinister games of speculations. And this is the kind of diversion and capital needed by Anwar Ibrahim to spell off the public from the truth and to stand by him under the pretext of injustice and conspiracies done in order to prevent him from achieving his so-called destiny of becoming the next PRIME MINISTER of Malaysia.

While Anwar Ibrahim and his entourage of lawyers and political allies have been showering Malaysians with tapes and tales of conspiracies in regard to this latest claim of him sodomizing a former aide; other CONCERNING QUARTERS have been very vocal in voicing their dissatisfaction over the SPECIAL TREATMENTS given to Anwar Ibrahim by the police. While common Malaysians will definitely be apprehended by the police in a matter of minutes; Anwar Ibrahim, on the other hand, had been given days and was so much on his own sweet time, liberties and arrangements, with the police doing absolutely NOTHING. The police has accommodated and done many things for Anwar Ibrahim that and which other Malaysians can only dream off. And these sorts of things did not go down well with many Malaysians. Many of them are questioning the police as to why the special treatments and why the selective attitudes over Anwar Ibrahim? Is Anwar Ibrahim not a Malaysian like the rest of the 27 mil souls that inhabit the country?

Hence, the arrest was seen coming. The arrest itself has nothing to do with politics. It was the right and suppose thing to do by the police not just on Anwar Ibrahim but any Malaysians too, once an arrest warrant has been issued. There should not be any double standard in approach in this matter upon any Malaysian.

Many have been writing about injustice on Anwar Ibrahim FORGETTING the fact that the one who has been MUCH DERAILED from proper justice by the public and to some extents, the authority as well, is the victim in this sodomy case, SAIFUL AZLAN BUKHARI.

Politically motivated or not, the only fact that should be taken and judge upon is the one that involves the accused and the accuser in a ‘proved or otherwise’ game whereby the victim has to prove that the accused had done such thing. And that needs no Einstein to waste the brain with any conspiracy theory. It’s a plain and simple YES or NO case.

WAS THE RESPECTED TUAN GURU NIK AZIZ SUGGESTING OR WAS HE INDICATING SOMETHING?

PAS Spiritual Leader (Mursyidul Am PAS) TUAN GURU NIK AZIZ NIK MAT called upon both DATO SERI ANWAR IBRAHIM AND SAIFUL BUKHARI AZLAN TO SWEAR UPON THE HOLY QURAN as the last and rightly resort as both involved are Moslem. He also advised those who have the proof, to furnish them in the COURT OF LAW and stop making open accusations which will worsen the current scenario. It is seen APPARENTLY, that the latter comment by Tuan Guru Nik Aziz was made to Anwar Ibrahim and his supporters whom have been hurling and flashing all sorts of unneeded accusations BUT yet to come up with any doubtless materials (and proofs) THAT MAY either support their extended accusations OR helps Anwar in establishing his defence.

(Read the source)

Tuan Guru Nik Aziz made the call after Mufti of Perlis, DR MOHD ASRI ZAINUL ABIDIN suggested the idea for the issue of the sodomy to be settled as accorded under the religion of Islam.

Mohd Asri made the statement through a media yesterday, in view of the current ACCUSING AND DENYING syndrome that have been hard hitting the thoughts of many Malaysian Moslems, pointing out to the current on going sodomy case involving Anwar Ibrahim and Saiful Bukhari; which will have such a tremendous downside impact on not just the persons involved, but Malaysia as an Islamic country too.

Although, the calling by Tuan Guru Nik Aziz for both Anwar and Saiful to swear upon the Holy Quran, may not implicate anything other than suggesting a tool to help dispersing the anxieties and restlessness among Moslems; the TIMING and the BREATH shown by the 77-year old Tuan Guru may suggest that he HAS HAD ENOUGH. And that he has BEEN SATISFIED of something, to at last promoting the use of the Holy Quran.

FOR Tuan Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat and Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin (both whom are highly respected religious people not just to Malaysian Moslems but to the non-Moslems as well) TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER with this latest call for the use of the Holy Quran, is looking SO MUCH LIKE SUGGESTING to all Malaysian especially Moslems, TO BE CALMED, RATIONAL and TO HAVE FAITH while professing true to the belief that AS HUMAN, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. And perhaps too, JUSTICE has been done to its utmost sources and potentials. And the TRUTH is all about to come in the open, SOON. As IF, the god-servants given the trusts and mandates have finally performed and done their given tasks rightly and accordingly. And now it’s best to leave everything in the hands of god almighty, Allah swt.

I am so much in agreement with the calls made by both the Spiritual leader and the Islamic Scholar. I am, without doubt, of my personal opinion and perspective, that this call made by my Tuan Guru, of whom that I have so much respect and trust in, was infact THE LAST AND FINAL CALL TO THAT ONE PERSON WHO HAS DONE THE WRONG.

As the saying goes… We can be reserved and biased with our judgment. That is understood. We are humans afterall. But GOD knows every single thing of every single event at every single moment. And he is in no need of any reservation, neither does he is bias.

So was the Mursyidul Am Tuan Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat suggesting something or was he trying to point out something without having to say it? Figure it out…
