Whose side is DAP on?

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has questioned whose side is Sabah DAP on following its latest attack over SAPP's flags put up all over Sabah in conjunction with the party's third anniversary pull-out from the Barisan Nasional (BN) on Sept 17, 2008.

"Why must DAP keep on attacking SAPP instead of BN-Umno?" asked SAPP Vice President cum Head of Negotiating Committee with DAP on seats and policies, Dullie Hj. Marie.

He said the action by Sabah DAP reinforced the notion that it was colluding with Umno as happened during the Batu Sapi Parliamentary by-election last year.

Malaya bleeding us dry

By Zainal Ajamain

Putrajaya's version of history has contaminated the minds
of children and stripped Sabahans of their dignity,
says economist and author Zainal Ajamain.

These words “we demand autonomy or Sabah Negeri, Merdeka” must be on the lips and hearts of all true leaders in Sabah.

On both sides of Sabah’s political divide, our leaders have long been incapacitated by their fear of their perceived Malaya masters.

They will not speak out against the daily injustices towards fellow Sabahans. And even when they do speak up it is just passive shouting – a token resistance, just to show they are saying something.

60,000 fake ICs: Where’s ISA when we need it?

‘Najib, please don’t remove the Internal Security Act (ISA) just yet, these are exactly the people who should be dealt by it.’

Citizenship applicants told to ‘vote for ruling party’

Pemerhati: Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad and children – Mukhriz, Marina, etc – according to tradition, where the children take on the ethnicity of their father, are also Indians because his father was the son of an Indian from Kerala.

The Malaysian constitution also allows people like Mahathir, who are Muslims, who speak Malay and follow Malay customs, to call themselves Malays.

Wikileaks: SPR pernah keluarkan 60,000 IC palsu

Kabel diplomatik Amerika Syarikat yang bocor mendedahkan bahawa bekas pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman mengakui beliau pernah mengeluarkan lebih daripada 60,000 kad pengenalan palsu kepada pekerja-pekerja asing di Sabah pada sekitar tahun 1990-an – atas arahan Umno.

Kabel yang dimuat-naikkan di portal pembocor maklumat Wikileaks memetik bekas ketua Rakyat Malaysia untuk Pilihan Raya Bebas dan Adil (Mafrel) Malek Husin sebagai mendakwa bahawa Rashid (kiri) mengakui perkara ini dalam pertemuan peribadi di rumah Rashid pada 25 Oktober, 2006.

Dalam kabel yang ditandakan sulit itu, Malek dilaporkan memberitahu pegawai Kedutaan Amerika Syarikat di Kuala Lumpur bahawa Rashid juga mengesahkan Umno telah melancarkan kempen ‘kotor’ pada tahun 1990-an untuk merampas Sabah – yang dikuasai sehingga 1994 oleh PBS yang berada di barisan pembangkang ketika itu.

Nazri: Tahanan tanpa bicara akan diteruskan

Amalan penahanan tanpa perbicaraan akan diteruskan walaupun dengan pemansuhan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) 1960 dan undang-undang pencegahan yang lain, kata Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.

Menurut beliau dua undang-undang baru yang bakal diperkenalkan bagi menggantikan ISA akan juga membenarkan penahanan tanpa bicara kerana ia adalah elemen penting dalam usaha memerangi keganasan.

Katanya, Peguam Negara akan berunding dengan ahli parlimen, hakim dan pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan lain di dalam dan juga luar negara kerana menangani keganasan adalah usaha antarabangsa.

Expect ISA repackaged, not abolished

‘I believe it is going to be a case of ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’. At best, the replacement laws will be ‘from the fire, back into the frying pan’.

‘Anwar fears more repressive laws to replace ISA’

Tkc: I’ve got a bad feeling. If BN were to regain its two-thirds majority due to the fence-sitters gullible enough to think that things will be hunky dory after the repeal of Internal Security Act (ISA), the replacement laws would be so repressive that BN will rule for the next 50 years.

‘New laws could be worse than ISA’

Is the repeal of the ISA 'window-dressing' for an
embattled BN ahead of the general election?

By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: Scepticisms abound in Sabah over the repeal of the much-condemned Internal Security Act (ISA).

Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had announced on Sept 16 that the government would abolish the draconian law.

While the announcement came as a shock, as many had expected some good news related to consumer goodies in view of the general election, it was nevertheless much welcomed.

The US have Area 51, we have Kod Negara 71

This is BN's secret weapon for GE.

JPN has a long list of nation code listed in their website. With such a darn detailed list, why JPN is using kod 71 to grant citizenship with people whose place of origin is unknown?

The revelations for the past few weeks have been alarming. After Mismah gate, there is “aqua ICs” discovery by YB Anthony Loke and now even official Bangladeshi website is revealing the assault of citizen’s right and democracy in Malaysia.

WIKILEAKS: 2006 UMNO GENERAL ASSEMBLY: ABDULLAH OVER MAHATHIR

In what one prominent newspaper editor privately called "the beginning of his own cult of personality," Abdullah orchestrated his entrance into the grand assembly hall as a prophet coming to address his people. As Abdullah entered the hall, the audience began singing a well-known Muslim hymn commemorating the Prophet Mohammed's entrance into Medina. Privately, local journalists and some Middle-eastern diplomats were astonished and somewhat offended that Abdullah would equate himself with the Prophet, though newspapers failed to report his entrance procession. 

1.  (C) Summary:  The United Malays National Organization's (UMNO) General Assembly marked Prime Minister's Abdullah consolidation of power within UMNO and the clear political defeat of his predecessor Mahathir Mohamad after months of public attacks by Mahathir.  Mahathir did not attend the assembly due to timely health reasons, but he remained the elephant in the room that everyone knew was there but no one wanted to mention. 

What if it was Najib in the sex video?

Some NGOs want to know why Pakatan Rakyat leaders are
remaining silent on Anwar being implicated in a sex
scandal and would they keep quiet if it was Najib Tun Razak.

PETALING JAYA: Would Pakatan Rakyat leaders remain silent if there was a video implicating Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in a sex scandal?

This was a question an NGO popped up when referring to the latest video on Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

The video snippet allegedly showed Anwar entering a hotel with businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah.
