wel. anwar should win..cos he trying 2 say something 2 t world..
The UMNO slaves-MIC MCA is still not learning the lesson….
Ganesh…
Anwar should because he is trying to say something to the world ? Like, hey I am determined to be the next PM by unethical, unlawful and undemocratic means ?
Grow up guys, Anwar won just because he is contesting in his hometown and the voters wanted him to win. Nothing more, nothing less.
The margin of victory is only slightly better than Wan Azizah’s despite the fuel price increase, inflation and poor economy after March 8.
Now, brace yourself for more political games and mudslinging. The Parlianment already look like the comedy court, with DSAI around it will resemble a WWF ring.
Ground reports says, the visit of Samy and PM to temple fuction in PP created extra free votes for Anwar…samy people have adviced you not to show your face but you’re not going to learn i guess…also other MIC and MCA morons.
you are right ….. we can just forget about those dumb BN component parties . Many intellects from Gerakan have defected to DAP/PKR . Eventually those in MCA will do so … I dont see intellects in other parties anyway …..
March8 and Aug26 will be in history , especially for non-malay !
chinnaapek
Strange, my sources who were actually involved in campaigning at PP say otherwise (mind you these are not some low level party workers but ranking members). According to them, this time the Indian votes went more to BN as compared to GE. Not sure the exact percentage but should be 60% or more.
Those guys who created problems outside temple at Seberang Jaya werent protesting Pak Lah but against the splinter group of HINDRAF.
tambi, killer
u must be in dreamland, please come to reality, dont act like MCA morons and try to help your community by being truthfull to yourself first.
There we go again with Killer’s “sources”.
You know what guys, why don’t all of us ignore Killer while he comes up with farts from the air? Let him feel good with all his mystical “sources”.
Before the by-election, he said his sources told him that the PP people will vote BN instead of Anwar coz blah blah blah.
Were those same “sources” told you that Indians voted BN this time Killer?
finally the white night is here …… a turning point for malaysians whom have been sick with corrupt and racist ruling party .
But , the battle is not over , just started .
umno is trying to delay AI’s swearing ceremony to Oct (u know why) . But AI is poised to get it done this week .
Anyway , AI will get what he wants as after DrM there are no extreme capable leaders in umno .
At the other side of the tunnel , i could see the light ……. a final hope to see justice and equality in my motherland !
let’s welcome our next PM ! His primary target should be to take over federal govt sooner and not later ….. then released Hindraf leaders .
i’ve a torn slipper running around reaching people to vote…… i dont mind as long as my poor indians can grew to afford to buy Puma or Nike .
Bravo to the brave PP folks !!!
Hahahahahaha….keep dreaming guys….DSAI will never be the PM. Please come back here on Sept 17th if you guys have the guts…
and morons can dream to destroy the uprising of the dawn ! It doesnt matter 15,16,17,18….or whatever …. bottomline it will happen while morons still live to see….
Oh I am not leaving you at all Killer. 😉
I will be here always, bashing you at every step. I decided to play this game the way you play it, so lets roll baby.
Ganesh, chinnaapek, VJ and Killi Valavan,
I love your comments in this blog and they reinforce my view that there are sane, committed friends who do not believe in flaming and writing rubbish as the one nerd who keeps claiming of ‘sources’ and connections that feed him with such utter nonsense that he spews in this blog.
Just because he dons the mantle of a killer he thinks he has the licence to go and kill the aspirations of Indians and other Malaysians who hope for a better future without being under a racist regime which marginalises others under the pretext of affirmative action only for their race.
In all his comments this mentally deficient nerd keeps harping on trivial issues and doesn’t seem to get the realities on the ground. I don’t blame him altogether because even his masters in MIC and the BN don’t realize the ground swell of public opinion against them after the 12GE.
They have been talking of reinventing, restructuring, rebranding but it has all been a hogwash all the while. Samy Velu’s great idea of the above is his decision to change the logo of the MIC and the attire of members. He hasn’t and is not willing to change his mindset. He is still the running dog of the UMNO and his actions to date only strengthens the belief of the ordinary Indians that he is still bent on selling their interest to his masters. He doesn’t realize what a political dinasaur he is.
Comig back to this demented character who wants to play the killer role, I am sure you all would also like to know his take on the following:
1) Why is he against Hindraf when it was Hindraf that was instrumental in awakening the Indians to their marginalisation in the Malaysian political, educational and economic spheres.
The leaders who are paying a heavy price for their right to dissent and champion the cause of their people are still being incarcerated in Kamunting. Being professionals they could have led a very happy and prosperous lives with their families. Why can’t this moron understand this simple truth.
2) Why is he against the Hindu religion? He shows childish glee when temples are torn down and desecrated by the UMNO goons. His great leader, Samy Velu is so impotent that his pleas do not carry any weight. Though religious freedom and the practices are enshrined in the Federal Constitution, this nerd and his masters do not understand religion is a very personal thing. It is up to the followers to practise it as to their religious philosophy.
3) Why does he always castigate Indian students, especially Tamils in his comments. He doesn’t seem to understand the situation in the kebangsaan schools where the 3rd class status is rigidly implemented. May be his sources tell him otherwise.
Has he stopped to ponder why we don’t see many Chinese and Tamil students taking part in sports, games and other co-curricular activities at inter-school, inter-district, state and national levels. At one time before the advent of the NEP and ‘affirmative action’ policies, non-Malays used to participate in athletics, football, hockey and badminton and even represent the nation.Why is such a paucity of participation of the non-Malays now? Some events like bowling, archery and shooting are monopolised by only one race. Is it because affirmative action has even reared its ugly head in sports and games?
4) In one of his many idiotic comments he chastised the Indian students for their dismal admission rate in the universities as their fault. This myopic dungu doesn’t find any wrong in the present education system that favours just one race. He claims as he has achieved success under the present system, others should not blame it. He sounds like the mamak who is quick to point at the number of successful Indian doctors, engineers and lawyers who have made it. What the mamak fails to say is that they made it without any assistance from the government. He always points to Ananda Krishnan as an exsampe of a successful Indian. May I ask how many AKs we have in Malaysia? Maybe killer is such a successful one!
If this nerd doesn’t want to understand the above, he is free to go off at a tangent by quoting his sources and connections to his heart’s content. Just remember nobody is buying your rigmaroles. You can spin and weave your convoluted thoughts to pleasure your masters.
Better still do the vanishing act as you have done in the other blogs. Do not pollute and demean this blog.
MauryaII, Good writing man… well done! I agree with everything you have written cuz that’s the truth. As for the killer fella, just ignore him everyone and he will go away. He talks nonsense. And he’s a coward.
And to all the others commenting here regularly such as VJ, Killi Vallavan, Chinaapek: keep it coming guys. I enjoy your perspectives. Naga: I’ve visited your blog a couple of times. Hmmm… very impressive. Proud of U.
And dear Poobalan, I like reading your blog. Keep it up.
Thanks Jaya 😉
Keep you up the rants and raves bro….and keep that tiny cranium of yours firmly stuck in the sand….and be oblivious to the real world and continue to live in the make-believe fantasy land..
Killer, the headlines in the real world spelt out something like this:
1) Anwar won in PP despite the whole of BN’s racist and propagandist machinery at work in PP.
2) The plan to use racism, religious remarks and Malay status quo backfired BN pretty badly, since the majority of the 70% Malays in PP voted for Anwar.
Now which make-believe fantasy land you talking about Killer?
sactyr@naga,
Nice to have you back and let us tell this troll who has forgotten his roots what we think of his ilk. He is even worse than etappan!
Thanks! Yea Killer just needs a good spanking to bring back to reality.
All of the following was done by BN to garner more votes for its rep at the Permatang Pauh by-elections and the the results were :
1) Reduction of petrol price few days before by-election instead of 1st September as announced to increase confidence of electorate in BN strategies.
Result : Failure of BN to garner enough votes for its rep to win the Permatang Pauh by-election
2) Election Commission holds the by-election on a working day instead of on a weekend to reduce voter turn-out.
Result : Failure of BN to garner enough votes for its rep to win the Permatang Pauh by-election
3) Presenting prize of RM300k to Olympic Silver medal badminton player at Permatang Pauh instead of Kuala Lumpur to draw attention to ‘generosity’ of BN.
Result : Failure of BN to garner enough votes for its rep to win the Permatang Pauh by-election
4) Cloud seeding to cause heavy rainfall on by-election day to reduce voter turn-out.
Result : Failure of BN to garner enough votes for its rep to win the Permatang Pauh by-election
5) Personal attacks on PKR rep to further tarnish image of PKR.
Result : Failure of BN to garner enough votes for its rep to win the Permatang Pauh by-election
6) Campaigning by Deputy PM to bolster support for BN rep (despite throwing of mineral water bottles and shouts of ‘Altantuya’ by opposition supporters).
Result : Failure of BN to garner enough votes for its rep to win the Permatang Pauh by-election
And now the swearing in has completed.
Let the games begin.
exactly . This genius Killer wrote that AI got much vote because of inflation and oil price bla…bla…. how stupid and unintellectual . If that is te case than price reduction prior PP election shd have given fav to BN ….
R.Chandra , you missed one …… that is rm200 ang pow and betting if AI lose ….. ppl took the money and voted AI instead ….hahaha smart…….
Again the power of the people has delivered a decisive blow!
Makkal Sakthi = People Power
‘Makkal Sakthi’ is indeed a powerful rallying cry! ‘People Power’ – the great Tamil language has given its powerful voice to non-ethnic people ~ who have heard the roar of ‘Makkal Sakthi’ reverberate throughout the core of this nation and embraced the lion !
‘Power to the People’ was the rallying cry of the great Martin Luther King who brought the Human Rights Movement for African-American emancipation right to the door of the White House ~ and, may one be so confident as to compare, that same rallying cry ‘Makkal Sakthi’ brought the longed for ‘Reformasi’ through the courage and the conviction of a great ethnic group!
‘Amandla’ ~ meaning ‘Power’ in the African Xhosa & Zulu languages ~ more specifically ‘People Power’ ~ was the rallying cry of the South African black people who stood up against the repressive and cruel apartheid regime whcih favoured the Caucasian citizens, and brought long needed reformation through their courage and conviction.
May the roar of Makkal Sakthi / People Power long be heard!
Right on R Chandra!
We should make this blog a true voice of the power of Makkal Sakthi. With help from other similar thoughtful people, let us disseminate whatever news even from other blogs that would bring about a profound CHANGE in our people. Let them realize that there are others supportive of their cause. They are not ALONE.
Let us also drive home the point to the naysayers and thoughtless scums that there will always be good people who take pride in their dignity and have the perseverance to reach their set goals in life.
The oppressed never stay oppressed. History of nations has shown that oppressors had always been defeated by the will of the people.
The oppressors only will keep at their apartheid policies so long as the people are silent and helpless. Once awakened that would be the death knell for the ketuanan type.
Let us keep the flame for CHANGE bright and the clarion call of MAKKAL SAKTHI reverberating.
The following blogs are some of the power houses for critical thinking and CHANGE of the oppressive regime:
