A simple strategy to beat BN at the next GE

via Malaysia Chronicle by admin@ malaysiachronicle on 12/20/10

If this exists after 53 years, it is time to pass the baton!

I have a simple suggestion how BN can be defeated at the next GE. In fact I learnt this from Karpal Singh.

When I was still in legal practice, I once watched how Karpal won a case at the Supreme court. When his case was called, he stood up and said, “My Lords, I actually have 5 points to make, but I shall not trouble your Lordships with that. All the 5 points are in the written submissions that are already before your Lordships. I shall take no more than 5 minutes to focus on just 1 of the 5 points …”

Needless to say, the 3 judges smiled when they heard he was going to take only 5 minutes of their time. Karpal banged hard on his strongest point of course. No matter how much the prosecution tried to put forward arguments on other points (which Karpal did not trouble to address), it was abundantly clear to the judges that the prosecution could not reply to that most vital point of the case that Karpal latched onto.

A vote for any bn component party, ie MCA, MIC, Gerakan, etc., is actually a vote for Umno!!!

 

Malay, Chinese and Indian are all Malaysian brothers and sisters. But BN has screwed Malaysians and Malaysia up. Take a stand now. 

Malay 1st…. Malaysian 2nd

When a Malay, Chinese and Indian, all Malaysians, apply for:-
1)      Scholarships, Malays will get it first irrespective of bright Malaysians
2)      Entry to the local universities and bestcourses such medicine, dentistry, law, Malays will get it first irrespective of quality.      Residential hostels, Matriculation courses, MARA Uni, Malays will get 90% to 100%. (By the way, matriculation exams are internally set      by own lecturers - about thousands of straight A’s students in Matriculation compared to the straight A’s STPM which are few. This is “Malay meritocracy vs Malaysian meritocracy”!
3)   Social Welfare, Malays will get it first irrespective of how poor the Malaysian rakyat is
4)   Business Contracts, Malays will get it first irrespective of who can offer the best value, quality and unblemished track record. Even when blacklisted, Malay associations have the right to complain because the rakyat owes them a living.
5)  Sharing of wealth and equity, IPOs, ASB, Malays will get it first. Even with ASB for Malays give higher returns and principal guaranteed capped at RM200K instead of other bonds for Malaysians with lower yield capped at RM50K.  This will be ongoing. WhyMalays cannot reach 30% equities? Statistics are manipulated so that valuation of shares are based on par value (Imagine valuing CIMB, Maybank, Sime darby etc at par value of RM1.00 instead of market value of RM12 etc. Malaysians must accept these assumptions or make sure this is hidden or else priviledges are gone..!! ) 

Jeffrey wants Sabah, S’wak ‘longhouses’ back

By Joe Fernandez of FMT

COMMENT The ambitious thrust of the third force in Sabah and Sarawak, under the aegis of the newly-launched United Borneo Front (UBF), is the return to the pre-1963 status of the two states as equal to Malaya (now Peninsular Malaysia).

Third force ideologue and UBF chairman, Jeffrey Kitingan, uses an analogy to describe the pre-1963 status of Sabah and Sarawak.

“Before Malaysia in 1963, Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak can be likened to three longhouses,” said Jeffrey. “Malaysia was supposed to consist of the three longhouses.”

Unfortunately, according to Jeffrey, Malaya demolished the Sabah and Sarawak longhouses after Malaysia and instead gave both states each a bilik (room) in the Malaya (Peninsular Malaysia) longhouse. From being a federation of three territories – Singapore left two years later in 1965 – in equal partnership as per the 1963 federation, Sabah and Sarawak were reduced to being two of 13 states under the 1957 federation.

Dr Jeffrey rendezvous with SNAP President in Miri

By Razlan Danial
Miri, SARAWAK: Former PKR vice president Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, and three of his most trusted lieutenants were apparently in Miri, Sarawak, Sunday (December 19) for a rendezvous with four top officials of SNAP including its president Edwin Dundang.

Those who saw them met at Megah Hotel in Miri said they explored possible joint partnership in political struggle for the future sake of Sabah and Sarawak. Also discussed was the just-unveiled United Borneo Front (UBF) led by Jeffrey.

Accompanying Jeffrey were Daniel John Jambun, Awang Ahmad Sah Awang Sahari and Mozes Iking. The trio are under one-year suspension by PKR till next month for their involvement in the attempt tio register a PKR-breakaway Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS) in late 2009.

Jeffrey wants to put deprived Borneo on world stage

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Former PKR vice-president Jeffrey Kitingan, disturbed by the “plight” of the people in Borneo, is hoping to push the community's state of deprivation onto the world stage through his United Borneo Front (UBF).

The maverick politician said Borneans have compromised too much and have been taken advantage of because the island is richly-endowed with mineral resources.

Jeffrey is disturbed that despite nearly 50 years since the state agreed to form Malaysia, its inhabitants remain very poor and "in some cases are comparable to those in Africa".

"We have been compromised in our political position and are too subservient in addressing the Borneo issues with one common voice that is strong, credible and sincere.

"It is time we aligned ourselves with any party or group which can assist us in fulfilling the objectives of UBF's struggles.

"UBF will be making courtesy calls on leaders of various political parties and non-political organisations nationwide and abroad to discuss the Borneo agenda and the need to close the economic and digital divide between the Peninsula and Sabah and Sarawak," he said.
