A recent diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks has a rather ominous entry that pinpoints the then prime minister Mahathir Mohamad as being the perpetrator of a citizenship-for-votes scam, with the alleged direct involvement of the then Election Commission chief.
The cable stated: “During their discussion, Hussin claimed that (former EC head) Rashid admitted his direct involvement in UMNO's shadowy 1990s push to assume political control of the East Malaysia state of Sabah. During that decade, UMNO granted citizenship and Malaysian Identity Cards (ICs) to over 600,000 foreign migrant workers (predominantly Muslims from Indonesia and Mindanao) in Sabah, in exchange for their votes in state assembly elections (ref B).

Saudara Pengarang,
SAYA amat berdukacita dengan keadaan hidup di negara tercinta ini yang semakin tertekan dengan kenaikan kos hidup. Tidakkah pemimpin-pemimpin kerajaan sedar terhadap kepayahan hidup rakyat semakin hari semakin menghimpit?
Memetik ayat dari portal Malaysiakini berkenaan beban cukai syarikat telekomunikasi yang dialih tanggung kepada pengguna iaitu “cukai 6 % itu menunjukkan kerajaan hanya melindungi badan korporat dan syarikat telekomunikasi, dengan memindahkan beban mereka kepada pengguna @ rakyat walaupun syarikat berkenaan membuat keuntungan setiap tahun.”

Anything But Umno
We can only surmise that Gani Patail has enough to sink Umno dulu, kini dan selamanya. Just like probably VK Lingam knew too much that he could not be charged with subverting justice by trying to influence in the appointing of judges and just like how Tajudin Ramli knows enough about the backroom deals to warrant the government asking GLCs to stop litigation against him.

Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK), the blogger, is right. We don’t know if Pakatan Rakyat will be able to govern our beloved country responsibly or walk the talk.

Malaysia’s Mahathir: 9/11 not work of Muslims
By Inquirer.Net
KUALA LUMPUR – The long-serving former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad says Arab Muslims are incapable of carrying out the 9/11 attacks on the United States that killed nearly 3,000 people.
The ageing firebrand, who was in power in Malaysia at the time of the attacks and stepped down in 2003 after 22 years in power, slammed former US president George W. Bush ahead of the 10-year anniversary Sunday of 9/11.

Umno attacks fuelled by fear of true history, says Mat Sabu
By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal, The Malaysian Insider
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 11 — Umno’s attacks on PAS for allegedly backing communists are fuelled by fear their version of history will need to be rewritten once the truth surfaces, Mohamad Sabu charged last night.
The PAS deputy president said Umno’s smear campaign against him through Utusan Malaysia — by accusing him of supporting communists was aimed at preserving Barisan Nasional’s (BN) own version of history and how Malaysia achieved its independence.
“They (Umno) are worried that history will need to be rewritten if we push matters further,” Mohamad told a ceramah in Gombak near here last night.
