Jawatankuasa Pemandu : Driving Kedah To Utter Confusion

Much has been said about this Jawatankuasa Pemandu which was suggested by phahrolrazi's zionist-loving pakatan group. It has always been anwar's dream to have any pakatan state obey and adhere to anything that he says and supports him in any wrong-doings. With this Jawatankuasa Pemandu, his dreams move a step closer with phahrolrazi as his dummy.

Pas' offcial schwarz-schtick, mahfuz was quoted in Sinar  as saying that the MB's power will not be usurped in any way. This is because the Jawatankuasa Pemandu is appointed to advice the leaders and not in the matters of administration...really. Seriously, can pas, next time, send somebody with an IQ of more than 25 to make statements? I could almost swear my cat committed suicide the moment mahfuz said that.

So, the Pemandu Committee does not usurp the MB's power? Let's see, contrary to mahfuz' statement, on March 5th Phahrolrazi was quoted as saying that (full article, click here )

“Yang paling penting matlamat kami tercapai iaitu inginkan perubahan dalam corak pentadbiran negeri, di mana kuasa bukan lagi dominan pada Menteri Besar dan mesyuarat Exco semata-mata. Kini, jika ada pandangan berbeza, boleh dirujuk pada jawatankuasa ini,”
(What is most important is that our objectives are achieved which is to see a change in the pattern of state administration, where power will not be dominated by the Menteri Besar and the Exco exclusively. Now, should there be any difference in opinion, it can be referred to this committee)

For a chap who claims to be a professional like phahrolrazi, ignorance and anwar must've blinded him. The constitution recognizes the Menteri Besar as the state leader, and his power over the running of the state administration is in his hands. Executive decisions are made by him and his exco. The majority in the exco over-rides the minority, and if phahrolrazi does not agree on something but the majority of the exco does, then know your role and shut your mouth. You are running a state and there's no time for you to run and cry to your mama just because other exco members do not support you.

Where will the Jawatankuasa Pemandu be placed in the constitution?

The Menteri Besar is appointed by The Sultan, usually the leader of a party which won the election, or somebody nominated by the respective winning parties. The Sultan, with advice from his council, will choose and endorse the suitable candidate.

The MB, in turn, appoints his exco, and there is no provision how many they are and what portfolio they hold. Exco members hold a term of 1 year of office. Little known fact is, the State Secretary and State Financial Officer from the State Civil Service are also part of the exco. It was also known that, during Dato Syed Nahar Shahabuddin's tenure as MB, the Pengarah Tanah & Galian was also an exco member to facilitate the many inquiries on land matters.

Unless it is by royal commission, or appointed by the MB, the Jawatankuasa Pemandu has no where to be placed in the state constitution.

Is the committee above the Sultan? Well, even pas members know well never to go there...unless they're contemplating suicide.

Is the committee above the MB? Only the Sultan is above the MB as he reports directly to the Sultan and take any advice from the Sultan without any buffers. Is the committee above the Exco? Exco is appointed by the MB and in no way, can have the committee in between.

So what if phahrolrazi and maybe one or two more do not agree with azizan? If 3 out of 10 disagree and the rest agree, what more do you want to say? You're out-voted. To have the committee referred to everytime one or two disagree with the MB will only lead to the state not having any progress at all...not that it has any in the first place.

So, how does phahrolrazi want to deny the powers stipulated by the state constitution? The committee will be political, not executive or administrative in any way whatsoever. So, what terms of reference will phahrolrazi bring if he tries to bring the committee into the picture? In fact, wouldn't it be downright rude and unworthy for anybody to usurp the power of the crown by placing themselves as the power to advice instead of the Sultan? Isn't it also unconstitutional to bring a group of people, elected or not, from this state or not, to interfere the running of the state? Kedahans will ask then who's running the state; the government they chose, or the sponsors who contributed to anwar's funds along with the massacre of palestinians?

How fair will the committee be? Even among pas' supporters, talks are rife that the Jawatankuasa Pemandu will be filled of anti-azizan members, hell-bent on ousting him from the seat. Plots have also been drawn to name azizan as the sacrificial lamb if pas loses Kedah in PRU-13. Even that doesn't really surprise me. In the hunt for power, and with anwar poking in from behind, do you think pas cares about Islam? That'll be the first thing that is thrown out the window.

Safe be said, Jawatankuasa Pemandu is unconstitutional, as stated by azizan. It has no place in the governance of the state nor does it have executive and administrative power. As many concluded, the committee is a ploy to sabotage the running of the state just because one or two key people who are pro-anwar LGBT pakatan disagree. Where is the democracy then?

Maybe phahrolrazi and his jewish-supporting pakatan cohorts should stop assuming that Kedahans are gullible and stupid. Never ever assume that, just because many Kedahans are from kampungs doesn't mean they have no idea what the constitution is all about?

For Kedahans, all of these events have the elements that mark the coming of change to Kedah. The demolitions, the destructions, the conspirings, the in-fightings and the hunger for power amongst pas leaders only serve as the catalyst to a countdown. Kedahans are ready for a change, and Gelombang Merah is coming with it.

Konvensyen Pakatan Rakyat 3 - Smoke Up In Their A**es

As predicted, today we can see a lot of arrivals in Alor Setar, and as expected a lot are from the east coast. What's so strange about it? Everytime pas and/or pakatan makes a convention, rally or even the normal ceramah, imported audiences had to be brought in. I saw a number of buses with D plates coming in from the highway this afternoon. Yes, the Konvensyen Pakatan Rakyat 3 is coming to town...now if only they can get the ACTUAL Kedahans to attend.

It has been shown that pakatan never really get any support from Kedah as pas Kedah is too busy wrangling their own problems. The last 100,000 rally (or something like that) did achieve close to 100,000, although only 5-8% are actually from Kedah. Looks like this is going to be an expensive affair again. Paid spectators, having to pay extra for acting purposes on their net tv, food, travel and accomodation expenses etc etc. Looks like Azizan might have to answer to anwar on why Kedah does not support pakatan.

It's not something new. As I have mentioned again and again, pas Kedah has no time for anwar. They need the win, but they do not need the tushee-stabbing sword. Most of pas Kedah were just waiting for anwar to be thrown in jail, some even would be happy if they can kick him in themselves. When anwar was freed, there was a commotion at Wisma Darulaman, and strangely, there were no cheers of joy, most were shocked by the release and many of them were asking WHY he was released.

For azizan, the convention will be quite a relief for him. Issues of over-logging, non-maintenance of infrastructure, downward-spiralling economy and zero-development are haunting him. What worries him and Amirrudin more is that people of Kedah know the truth about the "clean" process in dealing with the waqf land, and how pas is trying so hard to demolish a 102-year old surau. They have tried all their best to divert the issue by condemning the surau, its purpose, structure and use and try their best to stray the people's mind away from the actual issue: using the waqf land to build a shopping complex when the waqf was to be used as a surau. By  support shown from the sponsored audiences, it might just relieve him of the headaches...maybe his heart, blood pressure and sugar level too.

I am not sure whether the dingbat known as mahfuz will be there, but since anwar is there, maybe he will as anwar is the only key factor for him to topple azizan.

The convention will be a great opportunity to veil the eyes of Kedahans, especially when everybody knows the tension is flaring between pakatan's leader with the other.

The attendance of anwar, as expected, will be his roadshow trying to show how he worked hard to free himself, despite the fact everybody saw him cowering behind evereybody and desperately launching the violent bebas anwar 901. Kedahans know for a fact that Azizan detests anwar, and he wouldn't even look at him during their last meeting, let alone try to touch him with a big stick. Is it really worth the acting when everybody knows?

Even if Haji hadi attends, there is no actual purpose. Hadi has the old grudge where azizan cooly swiped him off for instructing Kedah to implement pas' hudud. Of course it makes no difference if n.ajis comes. Azizan has never been a conformist to these two laurel and hardy. He has always remarked the same way to the two by stating that they should look and take care of their homes first before telling other people. Not being a conformist to pas, and even seeking advice from Tun Mahathir really drew flak, especially from green-stomachs like mahfuz, who vengeance for not being able to defeat Tun in anyway whatsoever still burns. Anyway, with the sacking of Hasan Ali from pas for defending Islam, hadi and n.ajis might just find themselves stepping into a pile of bull...crap.

Lim Kit Siang makes the strangest name in the list. How would a so-called-Islamic party like pas accept a socialist like kit siang...or malam. DAP has a bigger grudge on azizan. The sole dap rep has always been kicked around by pas Kedah, usually being left out to dry in the dark. Yes, yes, it's quite similar to what dap does to pas in Selangor and Penang, but that is okay because dap is doing it. Even the usual threat by dap over the demolition of the illegal pig processing center was simply squashed by azizan. That particular dap rep (I don't even know his name) has so far yelled, shouted, jumped and made so much noise, but nobody still bothers about him. With dap so far supporting movements against Islam, I don't think they'll be welcomed anywhere near Surau Salihiah, but we know they'll be welcomed more at the new shopping complex site.

So, is the convention really for the people? Judging from the laughter heard around Kedah when anwar said that his victory is prople's victory, I would take a stab at saying it's not. Each of them has their own agenda, and with each of them having something to stab azizan about, I don't think azizan should even be there. I am not sure about the rumour that azizan might step down on that day as MB, but I know Phahrolrazi is bringing a lot of his people to the convention. Amirrudin too, will be bringing his people...although I'm not sure whether they'll be men or the men's spouses.

Well, within pakatan, and even within pas Kedah, Azizan could not find refuge. Maybe it's his wrong moves, maybe because he chose the toe-twinkling che had as economic advisor, or maybe it's just retribution for his decision on Surau Salihiah.

I received word that security will be tight there. Anybody who brings in anything about Surau Salihiah will be severely dealt with, and anybody who questions anwar's morality will be dealt with even worse. Well, what do you expect? This is democracy, anwar-style. There are talks of heads going to roll as well. Whose? Don't know, we'll see.

Maybe we should all go to the convention, but don't forget to bring the "Save Surau Salihiah" and "Anwar Peliwat" posters and banners. Bring along the "Welcome To The New World Order" t-shirt as well. Oh yes, please lock your sons and daughters at home before leaving for this event.

DYMM Sultan Kedah Is Malaysia's New King...Kedah Sejahtera Now?

 Historically, one might simply assume that Kedah is a sad and morose state. Despite being the first state on the peninsular to receive Islam, Kedah spent years and years of political interference, mostly from Siam...well, actually from Ligor (where Narathiwat is now). The Raja of Ligor attacks Kedah quite a lot, in the name of the King of Siam. Honestly, the king had no idea what Raja Ligor was up to until much later.

Kedah was one of the biggest state on the Malay Peninsula, that include Setol (Kedah: Setoi, Thai: Satun) and Jala (Thai: Yala). However, with the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, the two provinces were ceded to Siam, despite the British's attempt to keep it within Kedah. The Siamese King claimed that 2 provinces contain a large number of Siamese population. Of course, in reality, there were (are) more than 88% Malay population in that area.

The British could not have done better: they tricked the Sultan of Kedah into leasing Pulau Pinang to the disoriented buccaneer, Francis Light, and later parts of the mainland, now known as Butterworth. When Siam ceded Kedah to the British, for the first time Kedah had an Advisor to the State Government. Why Advisor, I never knew, because he never gives advice, he orders and dictates, and everybody is expected to bow to his wishes. When the British built a road from Kuala Ketil to Kulim (rubber industrial area), Kedah had no money to pay them. For that, the British ceded parts of south Kedah to the Federated Malay States, namely Parit Buntar.

Historically, Kedah is one of the most abused state by foreign powers.

It must also be said that, despite all of that, Kedah gave Malaysia 2 leaders who shaped Malaysia: Tengku Abdul Rahman and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The two of them shaped Malaysia prominently, one who achieved independece for Malaysia from the thieving british, and one who modernized Malaysia and slapped the west at the same time.

At midnight, 13th of December 2011, Kedah again made history when the Sultan of Kedah, KDYMM Tengku Abdul Halim Muazzam Shah, became the KDYMM Yang Dipertuan Agung for the 2nd time. The first time he held that position was between 1970 to 1975. The rotation came to a full circle in 36 years, and Tengku Abdul Halim stepped into annals of Malaysia history when he was proclaimed the Yang Dipertuan Agung again, as the article below, from Utusan Malaysia: 

KUALA LUMPUR 13 Dis. – Sultan Kedah, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah hari ini melafaz sumpah memegang jawatan sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-14 dalam upacara penuh adat istiadat di Istana Negara di sini.

Ini merupakan kali kedua baginda dipilih sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Kali pertama ialah dari 21 September 1970 hingga 20 September 1975 semasa berusia 43 tahun.

Tuanku Abdul Halim, 84, dipilih oleh Raja-Raja Melayu pada Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja yang ke-226 (Khas) di Istana Negara pada 14 Oktober lepas untuk tempoh lima tahun berkuat kuasa hari ini, bagi menggantikan Sultan Terengganu, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin yang tamat tempoh pemerintahan sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-13 semalam.

Sistem penggiliran Yang di-Pertuan Agong dalam kalangan sembilan Raja Melayu dimulakan sejak negara merdeka pada 31 Ogos 1957.

Istiadat hari ini merupakan istiadat seumpamanya yang pertama kali diadakan di Istana Negara yang baru dibina bercirikan binaan Islam dan tradisional Melayu di kawasan seluas 96.52 hektar yang mula beroperasi pada 15 November lepas.

Upacara bermula pada pukul 11.15 pagi dengan Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja ke-227 (Khas) sempena Istiadat Melafaz Sumpah Memegang Jawatan dan Menandatangani Surat Sumpah Jawatan oleh baginda di Balairong Seri.

Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja itu dipengerusikan Raja Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail.

Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja, Datuk Syed Danial Syed Ahmad kemudian menyembah surat sumpah jawatan kepada Tuanku Abdul Halim yang memakai pakaian Diraja Kedah yang dikenali sebagai Sikap terdiri daripada jaket pendek, berbelah di hadapan dan berkolar tinggi lengkap dengan tenggolok, seluar, sampin dan bengkung serta berkeris.

Baginda kemudian melafazkan sumpah jawatan dan menandatangani surat sumpah jawatan itu di hadapan Majlis Raja-Raja.

Sultan Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah dan Sultan Pahang, Sultan Ahmad Shah menjadi saksi.

Istiadat hari ini juga melibatkan upacara melafaz sumpah dan menandatangani surat sumpah jawatan sebagai Timbalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong oleh Sultan Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad V.

Ia diikuti bacaan doa dipimpin oleh Imam Besar Masjid Negara, Tan Sri Syaikh Ismail Muhammad.

Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja, Datuk Syed Danial Syed Ahmad kemudian memohon menangguhkan Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja ke suatu masa yang ditetapkan.

Ini disusuli istiadat menandatangani surat pengisytiharan memegang jawatan oleh Tuanku Abdul Halim sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong, diikuti dengan pembacaan pengisytiharan tersebut oleh Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Istiadat diteruskan dengan Sultan Muhammad V menandatangani surat pengisytiharan memegang jawatan sebagai Timbalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan diikuti dengan Najib membaca pengisytiharan tersebut.

Istiadat hari ini dihadiri oleh Raja-Raja Melayu kecuali Terengganu yang diwakili Tengku Sri Temenggong, Raja Tengku Baharuddin Ibni Almarhum Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah.

Turut hadir kesemua empat Yang Dipertua Negeri, Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, menteri-menteri kabinet serta ketua-ketua jabatan. – BERNAMA

There are certain quarters of pas who already banging their empty cans and telling those who gave them time, that it is during pas' rule that the Sultan of Kedah becomes the YDP Agung. Well, I guess they forgot to mention that it is during their rule also that the flood got worse, water supply got so bad, the road got so many potholes to be counted and the water catchment areas of Pedu and Sik got so bald.

Kedahans are very proud, the state produced 2 Prime Ministers, a number of top administrators in the government, and now their Sultan is the YDP Agung for the second time. Of course, pas can also brag that produced two nitwits from the north, such as mahfuz and mat sapu.

Kedahans have wished prosperity, a happy and eventful reign, and to safely carry out his royal duties as the Yang Dipertuan Agung. It is with that hope and wishes, and humble pride, Kedahans look forward to the state government to provide a better infrastructure, a solid utilities and maintenance system and good governance, because so far, with what the state government under azizan has given, it's all wishful thinking.

In the meantime, we offer our sincere and humble congratulations to KDYMM Tengku Abdul Halim Muazzam Shah to be proclaimed the 14th Yang Dipertuan Agung of Malaysia, the second time in his reign.

Daulat Tuanku!
Long Live The King!
Vive Le Roi!

Berpanjangan Usia Di Atas Takhta.

A Kedahan In Kedah, Like A Stranger In A Strange Land...

As time drives on, it seems to reveal more and more of the unbecoming of the Kedah State Government, led by the sleeping "giant"...who still has no clue whether he's coming or going, and administered by a group of Excos who claim themselves as professionals...such as professional back-hoe driver and previously professional unlicensed reflexology center owner.

For once, let's step into a lighter note...well, it was lighter, but with the news on Sunday night, Kedahans mumblings are starting to grumble. When pas took over in 2008, it marked the final success of the Kedah football team achieving one of the greatest accolades ever, the Double Treble. They won the Super League, FA Cup and even the much coveted Malaysia Cup back to back in 2 years.

Noticing how much money can be made with that type of an incredible team, Kedah pakatan leaders were scrambling to take over KFA, pressuring the then Team Manager to resign, followed suit by Azrai Khor, the team coach. It was quite strange to see how different pas leaders keep appearing at the stadium at different times, including those who had never kicked a ball in their lives, and those who have no idea how to get to the stadium as well.  The new leadership simply balked at them for leaving and believed that they can do better...and I'm sure, in their world, they did. In a short span of time, around 3 years, Kedah went from champs to chumps. They had become volatile and unpredictable...well, knowing that they will lose crucial matches is not really unpredictable.

It is quite unfortunate that the only category that Kedah has been proud of in the past few years, has gone down the drain, along with pas' inept ability to run the state. To rub salt into the already painful wounds, Negeri Sembilan, under Coach Azrai Khor, won the Malaysia Cup 2011 edition. No first prize for anybody on why KFA members are getting dirty looks from football fans...

Getting away from sports before somebody kicks mahfuz' head and anwar's ass, at one time, the pas state government claimed that they have been more efficient than the previous BN-led government. There are of course, some minor anomalies to their claims, but I guess that can easily be explained.

Pas claimed that are more efficient at collecting revenues from Hasil Tanah and Cukai Pintu. Of course, we are not sure why their collection is much less than the previous state government, but we are assuming that the term efficient is used because with less people paying, there will be less queue and hassle at the payment counter.

Even more efficient, there were claims by pas state government that they made bigger revenues from timber concessions, almost double the amount of what BN government did. Well, if it's true, then I take my hats off to them. However, on another note, it is quite worrying. What type of concession did they give? Up until today, people in Padang Terap/Sik regions still bear witness to the in and outgoing timber lorries, and the ever so balding landscape in that area.

With all those efficiency and claims of collecting more, comes the question of "Where is the money?" What has it been spent on anyway, other than pas' lavish open houses and functions. The condition of the road in Kedah, are steadily munching up people's wallets, and they're not happy about it. I can safely say that the smoothest ride available in Kedah (so far) is between the airport in Kepala Batas up to Wisma Darulaman. It's not that surprising as Istana Anak Bukit is in the middle of both locations. 

One of the most foolish actions ever taken by the pas government is to spend only one third of the federal allocation for road maintenance in Kedah and keeping the rest to pay salaries. It was a callous move as salaries for the state civil services must come from state funds, and by doing so, pas is treading on dangerous grounds. But this shows the difference between those who goes to school to learn and those who goes there to sleep...okay, so the mb is always asleep...anyway, somebody should lead phahrolrazi to the State Legal Advisor's office so he can learn the legalities on that matter. Basically, pas ensures that our vehicles damaged from the widening potholes just to make sure that they can pay a group of people who spends a lot of time away from the office. Hmmm.....well, what can I say, just like the civil service, none of the Excos can be found in their respective offices anyway. Perhaps when it doesn't rain, you can find most of them at the Kedah Club golf course.

Still on the question of money, why is pas Kedah government asking for federal aid for the coming flood season? With all the money they claim they have made, shouldn't preparing for the worse be a snap? With all the millions upon millions that pas Kedah government made, I am sure they can buy many boats, prepare shelters and many more. Well, maybe somebody should really send a serious accountant to assist azizan and his numerical-impaired excos in calculating their affairs straight.

It can be understood why pas Kedah rebuked the lethargic and badly damaged n.ajis of kelantan on the question of Hudud. I mean, how could they ever conform to his whims with all the entertainment outlets and karaoke bars popping up here and there. The pas Kedah government seems to be more interested in approving pubs and entertainment outlets more than Islamic centers. Who can blame them? Pas has never been Islamic, it's just a rallying cry during elections, and worse, today, it's in the hands of one who makes mischief on the face of Malaysia. I mean, if pas is actually Islamic, they would really care about the faith of fellow Muslims and definitely support HIMPUN. But then again, HIMPUN is all about Islam, and not being sponsored by hidden jewish organizations like NED (main sponsor for Israeli weapons to kill Palestinians and Bersih 2.0), so, why should anybody from pas go? No riots or chaos to create, then, they'll just stay home

Where do Kedahans go from there? The state is being ripped asunder by the incompetent hands of pakatan, and in any category, they got left behind. Kedah seem to be losing much of its charm and charisma.

Talk about charisma, I guess we can be...umm...strangely proud to have a very charismatic exco member. He has usurped the MB's power every now and then and he also wants to be the next MB one way or the other. I wouldn't say he's a crowd puller, but if the crowd consists of husbands and wives, he might just be a wife-puller, literally. His amazing power is such that a wife (or husband) can up her (or his) mind to leave her (or his) husband (or wife) and rush straight to his house without much hesitation. But what's new about this pas? mat has sapu somebody else's wife last time, with nik aziz fully supporting him from behind, it has become pas' sanctioned practice.

 But I am sure that is still okay for consenting adults, unlike the northern island emperor, whose crown prince decided to practice his itchy massaging hands upon another girl's budding...errr...part of the chest. To avoid complaints and scandal, the emperor, through his vizier decided to drop a bundle of monetary influence over her parents so that they would shut up. Is that the price of being Muslims? How easy, a pack of Ringgit Malaysia, and maybe you can send your daughter out again. The crown prince, when confronted by the disciplinary teacher was proud, "I am the Emperor's son!". Well, I always thought that the emperor is the type of man who defends people victimized in any sort of sexual endeavors. He did claim that he was defending the honor of a girl who supposedly had an affair with Rahim Tamby Chik back then. But this time, as an emperor, he made the 180 degrees turn. Well, I understand, family comes first, and the crown prince must be protected at all cost.

Somebody did draw the line, stating that, compared to Kedah, the islanders are not passionate, but lusty. But the islanders were very upset over this, because they said that the emperor is NOT a Penangite, he's from further south, and he's a socialist. Ahh...now I understand...I think...

Back in this state, looking at the increasing number of closed shop lots, and with a lot of housing developers going out to look for projects outside of Kedah, it is beginning to feel strange. At times, you feel like a stranger in your own state, and there are times you feel like a stranger in a strange land, run and administered by inept clowns...at least the ones in the circus were funny.

Gemilang Pas Erdogan

With Pas kissing Islam goodbye and embraces the wonderful and luxurious turmeric world of anwarisme, along with pluralisme and...well, anything that anwar says, we hereby pay tribute to the new pas, headed by the turmeric marinated anwar-backed (no, not literally) erdogans:

The Impotance Of Wanting Needs

In many parts of Kedah back in the 1970s, people used to know pas as a group of terrorists who stels shoes and slippers when UMNO members were having meeting inside one of their leaders' houses. There was a time when pas claimed that they are more Islamic than Islam. There were times when pas fought for the basic human rights such as freedom to practise their religion, democracy and election...wait, that existed even just before Independence...what the heck were they complaining about? Most times pas kedah showed the people of Kedah that they are nothing but hot air. In 2008, pas began their rule over Kedah and proven themselves to be who they are always: hot air.

Hey, what are you complaining about? You don't expect me to lie, do you? If lies are what you want to hear, you are free to attend anwar ibrahim, mahfuz and/or mat sapu's ceramahs.

I remember the days when pas used to criticize the vice activities and entertainment outlets that sell liquor. Also included was how the state government love to waste money on social activities that encourages vice. Now that they're ruining...oops...running the state, they made the necessary changes that they've always fought for: more karaoke bars, more pubs, more social activities at night and no religious program....hold it! Shouldn't they be doing the reverse of it? Or did I read the program wrong? No, it's corrent. There are more emtertainment outlets and bars under pas than 50 years of Barisan rule put together.

You can drive all around Alor Setar and Sungai Petani and think that you are somewhere in Sadao. Karaoke bars sprouted like mushrooms. You might think they're illegal, but they're not - the state issued permits for them., along with the rights to sell and serve liquor. If UMNO does this...wow, there'll be a roadshow by pas, but since it's pas, I guess, in the religion of pas, it is okay.

The explanation by the MB-heir-apparent, Phahrolrazi is quite perplexing when compared to what the scenario in Kedah since 2008. Phahrolrazi said that the karaoke bars with liquor are permitted "in accordance to the needs."

We would love to ask the future head-cheese on the other needs but never given the time by him and the rest of the goons in pas Kedah, but then again, we wouldn't want him to injure himself by thinking, so let's look into some of the basic ones.

We will always need water. Kedah has one of the largest water reserves in the peninsular, and provides Penang and Perlis as well...without them paying a single cent. But why is water supply so bad since 2008? Nobody is asking for better tasting water, or free water (hmmm, why not); all Kedahans want is water, clean and pure, with good pressure flowing through their plumbings for their daily needs. All Kedahans got was an increase by 25% in water tariffs with the same amount of crappy service. Maybe the clowns at SADA should have the water supply to their houses rationed, then they will understand what Kedahans are talking about. Yes, yes, I know that liquors are liquid too, but putting the obvious religios factor aside, I still feel that it's wrong to bathe, wash and clean with anything that is below 90% proof alcohol. The smell might not be tolerayed either and smokers might find themselves in danger of spontaneos combustion.

Many Kedahans felt proud when DYMM Yang Dipertuan Agung made a royal visit to Kedah. Many more are happier to see damages in the road fixed overnight after 3 years of nothingness from the state government. Luckily, the Federal Government allocated funds to the state for the royal visit. Unbelievably, in all the area involved, thrash were taken on time, and in some cases, before the household can even manage to fill their trash can with garbage. Pot-holes disappeared, Uneven roads that used to be puddle-laden disappeared and even illegal stalls that usually litters the area vanished. For those few days, those Kedahans felt like they were back in the times when pas was nothing but a foul stench...although they still are stinking themselves up. Fix the roads, Kedahans are tired having to fix their tyres and suspensions for their vehicles.

We understand that the road from DYMM Sultan Kedah's palace to Wisma Darulaman is well maintained, but we noticed that the road from the MB's house is too. He should be more public-minded, then again, we don't want to rouse him from his 14-hour nap.

Who knows whether the MB-designate Phahrolrazi really knows what he's talking about. The needs and wants of people are 2 different matters. Is karaoke bars a need or a want? Nasic ameneties should be in the prime numeral in following up in what Kedahans needs. A state exco should know what people's basic needs are...no, we don't need mahfuz and/or anwar. The 2 basic needs listed are still nowhere resolved and pas is already in the 4th year of rule. We didn't even touch on crime, economy and religion yet. Well, maybe you are learning so much from your would-be predecessor, or mentor, Azizan. In that case, sweet dreams, and sorry to disturb your sleep. You can always try Azizan's private chambers at Kulim Hi-Tech, the bed is extremely comfy.

Viva Partai Anwar Semalaysia - Erdogans Have Landed

Two years ago, at the end of the muktamar, we did predict that Erdogans will never stay put after their defeat.


Looks like they did it. I wouldn't say much of a clean victory with anwar's sticky fingers shoved up deep in their campaign. For weeks we have heard it from almost every state, pas grassroots complaining of money politics and malicious tactics being used at the divisional and state level party nominations. This time, they threw so many candidates to break up the votes, and even the dap-backed jabberwocky...yes, nizar was in the fray. I refer to news article :Mat Sabu is new PAS deputy

Even mahfuz is now in the central committee, which Kedahans know too well that he'll be using that heavily in lobbying for the Kedah Menteri Besar seat. Still, Azizan is also there, so, expect a torrid bashing between them soon, which of course, will be joined Amirudin as well.

We are still wondering how a guy like mat sabu can be a a deputy president of a party that supposedly stands for Islam...but then again, we did stress the word "supposedly." Mat sabu, the very man who bestowed the title of "Al-Juburi" to anwar is now anwar's service provider. That must be one of the biggest things that make people go "Hmmm..." An Islamic party with a deputy president whose knowledge on Islam is like a puddle in the desert, but hey, the end of days are coming up, how can that surprise us.

By now we can say goodbye to pas' fight for Islamic nation. How now brown cow? Well, with the erdogans victory, pkr and dap can be assured that pas will never ever be an obstacle in their path again. Dap's anti-Islam rally can proceed without any mosquitoes buzzing in their ears. Of course, they might've forgotten the might of devout Muslims in Malaysia.

Is it surprising that with their victory, one of their first war rally is to condemn the sex video which implicated anwar ibrahim (allegedly)? In fact, we can expect more violent demos participated by pas at the behest of anwar after this...pkr members might not have to disguise themselves anymore.

Anwar can pat himself on the back now, he is now controlling the fast-diminishing pkr and the fast-becoming-non-Islamic pas. Quite an achievement for a guy who is not even a member of both parties. All in good time for a pakatan which is controlled by dap. For pas, they have kissed Islam goodbye and take the plunge with anwar and his sponsors, along with the one-eyed.

Update 6th June 2011

I met a friend who had just returned from Kuala Lumpur/ He is a staunch pas supporter ever since we were back in our high school days. Despite all that, we are still the best of friends as both of us believe that politics should never interfere relations among Muslims. Being one of some committee member under pas Kedah, he was the observer during the division and state nominations. As I suspected, even he was totally shocked at how the Mulktamar went.

"Now even Hadi has to bow to anwar," he told me, still shaking his head, "Left and right, Nasha was attacked on the basis of the unity government talks."

He was also bitter on how the nominations went, which he described as "the dirtiest tactics ever employed, and in many ways, even UMNO can never top that."

"With the erdogans on top, how will pas ever fight for Islam and the Muslims?" he said.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, although I already suspected his answer.

"Mat Sabu as VP? He can only talk, but what does he know about religion? That's like telling a truck driver to pilot a plane."

The ulama faction are still in a state of disbelief with the results, and they have a strage collective feeling that they will be ousted sooner or later. The erdogans have championed rights which so far, have gone against what Muslims in Malaysia want. The use of Allah's name by other religions, right to Muslims to convert; I wonder what other things will carried out by anwar through his group, now that the ulama faction is slowly drowning their way out.

In Mahfuz We Thrust

Kedahans are quite relieved to see their favorite Hijau Kuning team getting back on track...well, at the moment, they're at the 5th place in the Super League Table. They're no Arsenal but hey, it definitely is much better than one or two months ago when they were ranked between "My grandma can kick better" and "Go home and join netball team".

There have been talks lately of a plot to takeover the Kedah FA (KFA). Secret meetings were held, moves plotted, positions targeted. That sounds normal, but what worries Kedahans more is the quality of the mastermind...yes, none other than the betel-munching, red spitting mahfuz omar. He already held a few meetings with a few minor KFA officials at Restoran Mama in Jalan Sultanah...well, mahfuz might think it's a top secret meeting, but having the meeting at a packed restaurant with people in KFA uniforms? Go figure. Quoting from a Hijau Kuning fan, he said that with a greaseball like mahfuz helming the KFA, the Kedah team will soon be playing in the estate league.

Maybe mahfuz should realize that he should at least know something about football before plotting a takeover. Rumours of mahfuz getting lost in the stadium football field remains unfounded so far.

But who is he fooling anyway? With MB Azizan's men taking a beating at pas kedah's divisions elections  and Amiruddin busy planting his people into various positions in the state, mahfuz wouldn't want to be left behind in the race to boot Azizan out and be the next Menteri Besar. No surprises there...he's been attempting to wrest that seat since 1999, but Pas Kedah keeps bundling him out to parliament.

Kedahans know for a fact that you can never put mahfuz, azizan and amiruddin in the same room without a free-for-all. While Amiruddin is backed by anti-Azizan-Phahrolrazi faction, mahfuz is much promoted by the pro-pkr faction of pas...or in short, anwar ibrahim and his cohorts.  That might be something Kedahans might find hard to swallow.

For mahfuz, wresting the KFA seat will be a first firm grip on Kedah. A position in Bina Darulaman has proven that he cannot simply get what he demands. But how far this new road will take him, nobody can guarantee anything.

Maybe he should try getting to know the people first. Kedahans love leaders who are close to them. Maybe he can explain to them why he could not be contacted when his constituents called for help during the floods of 2010, and maybe explain where in the world he was during that time. There are some of his constituents who would like to know why he only gave out aid to selected flood victims in that particular area only. At least we can see other State Assemblymen showing themselves during the floods, like the state assemblyman in Kuala Kedah area who goes out daily during the floods with boxes of mineral water and returns every evening with the same amount, or the other one who sends boxes of sardines as aid...and taking them back.

We understand from the constituents of Pokok Sena that Mahfuz appears only every now and then, and even then only at selected places. There are many who never sees him at all, only during elections.

To be an MB, maybe he needs to win the hearts of Kedahans first; maybe he needs to understand local politics first...and maybe go get more education first. With the development and economy of Kedah going to tatters, what can a jabber-mouth like mahfuz bring? KFA is just a bridge for him, nothing more.

Whether Kedahans will ever let the anwar ibrahim-backed Mahfuz is left to be seen. Of course, having mahfuz as MB can be quite an insult to Kedahans' intelligence. But for the moment, the race to topple Azizan as MB is heating up, and mahfuz has joined the fray. It's quite strange that pas used to make remarks about UMNO candidates' notorious methods during party nominations, because now they are complaining that pas candidates use dirtier tactics, with money politics and backstabbing only being the tip of the iceberg. That's understandable: ever since winning in the state of Kedah, pas leaders in the state has started turning on each other's throats, from positions, projects, GLCs and many more.

How much lower can pas in Kedah get? Grab a bag of popcorn, and sit down and watch. And somebody get mahfuz out of here.

Video: Gelombang Merah Kedah Darul Aman - Masa Untuk Berubah

Three years of pas ruling Kedah has only revealed more and more of their incompetency and shortcomings. Kedahans are sick and tired of pas' drama and bull, and the time has arrived to make a change; a change that will determine the future of Kedah and the people, free of pas and their inept administration and deceitful follies.

The wave is here...Gelombang Merah Kedah Darul Aman : Gelombang Kebangkitan Rakyat

Hanging Out With Azizan and His Pas Boys.

'Tis the weekend that Malaysians await with bated breath over what's going to happen in the next few days. Yes, will Mr. Y provide his once-free-flowing DNA sample for justice or not. Well, deep in my heart, I feel that it will never happen. Sources close to PKR have revealed that Mr. Y is having sleepless nights, what with the demos held over several locations demanding that he provides the samples. I think there will be more demos to be held, most probably at the court. Despite most pas members feel the same way like most Malaysians, the party bigwigs are still trying to act as if anwar is innocent. Nice try, pas, but not doing that well, Malaysians know you need anwar despite being a liability.

The past few days, Kedahans have been flocking to the Karnival Kedah Sejahtera. Pas Kedah is currently celebrating their 3-years of ruling Kedah. Many of the stall-owners enjoy the brisk sales. Sadly, pas still had to import supporters in order to fill up the huge space during their ceramahs carried out during the fair. It's not that Kedahans are not interested in their ceramahs; it's just that they don't care. Who, in their right mind, would want to see a stuttering khalid ibrahim talk? Even bob lokman's name is not pulling in the crowd this time.

Words are going around fast in Kedah, and there are many who know that pas is desperately looking for support. An NGO known as Perkasa is gaining support from the Malay masses, and many from pas have joined the organization, much to pas Kedah’s chagrin. Why is that? Perkasa has been responsible for the Malays' return to UMNO, which seems to be kicking pas in the nuts during the previous by-elections. Maybe it's understandable why pas chose to use "Perkasa"kan Kedah Sejahtera" for the carnival, and part of Gelombang Merah's "Masa Untuk Berubah" tagline.

Despite the charade of a united front in pas Kedah, things are not that rosy, and I wouldn't even say that's behind-the-scenes. The person in the center of the quagmire is none other than azizan, the mb himself. By not conforming to pas pusat's wishes, azizan has earned the ire of hadi; and not giving in to the erdogans earned him the wrath of n.ajis and anwar. Anwar? Well, it came as no surprise, Azizan's relatives still remark how much Azizan hates anwar. Among the biggest trait of azizan that made almost everybody in pas hopping mad, is his admiration of Tun Mahathir. Azizan has been known to have met Tun on several occasions for advice. That could've been the last straw. Adding insult to injury is that azizan not only didn't bother when na.jis received the world-wide slap from Tun, he also put his thumbs up.

Azizan's choleric temper is also not helping pas Kedah’s cause...whatever they are. Wisma Darulaman's staffs have stated that azizan's exco meetings are legendary, and his choice of words used in anger pictures him as anything but Islamic. Betting on whether azizan will be using choice words during exco meetings nowadays have been considered lame, and they might expand the business to bets on which choice words he will choose.

Azizan's extreme short fuse and temperamental disposition has kept other Kedah pakatan members away, and only phahrolrazi is the only one willing to be close to him. Azizan has usually been described to a famous European, Rip Van Winkle, while most of his job has been carried out by amiruddin. Understandably, ameruddin has been claiming himself as the "Deputy Menteri Besar" despite there is no such position under the Kedah constitution. Adding to the turmoil is that lately it has been revealed that azizan has hand-picked and grooming

phahrolrazi to be his successor. This definitely does not gel well with amiruddin. That might explain why amiruddin "usurped" azizan's position during DYMM Sultan Kedah's birthday by being the head person to introduce members of the state government to HRH The Sultan of Kedah, while azizan stares from the back.

It's bad enough azizan is at odds with his exco and the other pakatan state assemblymen, it's worse when you know that he is also at odds with Taib Azamudeen. Well, he is also on the worst terms with mahfuz, but like pas always say, "Why bother, it's only mahpoos." If you're a pas Kedah member, maybe you'll understand why pas Kedah regards mahfuz as a comic relief. Great, who knows? Anwar might give Kedahans a clown for an MB like Selangor...not that we're far off at this moment.

It was told by Wisma staffs and media members how azizan was extremely angry after the Kedah flood of 2010, due to his administration in handling it. The inability of his exco members to answer and/or explain their whereabouts (or disappearance) during the flood only fueled the fire. The fuse was really lit when the reporter asked Azizan about his state government's failure. The media only tried to highlight the plight of the flood victims and that's how azizan reacted. Wow!

It is understandable how the fractured state government failed time and time again in dealing with the issues that really matters. With all the in-fighting, power-struggle within pas Kedah itself, we might see its disastrous result popping its head up soon. At this moment, pas Kedah are also roasting in their own juices with the Gelombang Merah, a wave brought by Mukhriz Mahathir. Why does it worry them? The younger generation has been flocking to the wave since it first landed, and they're still losing more. The so-called celebration held at Stadium Darulaman? That's a shameful sham, their 3 year rule is a disaster, judging from their failures in handling anything, from the nitty-gritty, right down to economy.

Pakatan Rakyat's Desperately Seeking Crisis

Anwar's pakatan rakyat is in a middle of a quagmire at the moment, and it is a crisis they'd never thought they'd have. The crisis is...that they have crisis to fight for. But these fools are no normal fools; they did try and are still trying. Recently they tried to create tensions, first via pas; by having pas branding themselves as Islamic and nationalists as...even I'm not sure how to categorize n.ajis' thinking. At the same time, dap, via karpal poo-singh attempted a character assassination and create tensions by bringing up their very own version of the Ops Lalang history. Their very own version? Well, dap was very naughty back then, resulting in their detentions, you think would want Malaysians to know the actual truth of why they were detained?

Nik Aziz, I guess, received the heaviest blow on the head, in the form of Tun Mahathir's very own reply in his blog. His reply was enough to make any thinking man stop and realize n.ajis' follies, but of course, if only n.ajis is a thinking man. He was never a cleric; he is just a senile political dinosaur, past his extinction date, but still insisting that people follow his straight path while he walks crooked on any given line. Who can forget the heydays on n.ajis when he told voters that anybody who votes any other parties than pas is an infidel? Or that anybody who votes for pas wins a pass to heaven, so to speak. Well, Tun Mahathir's ultimate reply finally sent him crashing down to earth from his "godly" pedestal. He now denies ever branding anybody as infidels or so and wants evidence. Can somebody give him a diary, planner, scheduler or even something like Hansard...please?

Karpal did not fare any better either. His attempt to remind Malaysians of Ops Lalang and assassinate Tun's character was somehow ambushed and he got bushwhacked to pulp by none other than Tun Haniff Omar, the former IGP of Malaysia who was the actual spearhead of Ops Lalang. Tun Haniff not only confirmed, but also minutely explained the details which Karpal tried hard to hide, or even forget. But Tun Haniff is very kind; he never brought up all the reasons why Emperor Lim, Crown Prince Lim and Karpal were actually detained for. Karpal is well known by Muslims and Malays in Malaysia as the Sikh who told everybody, "Over my dead body" if Malaysia is to become an Islamic country. He was also awarded by a tight slap many years ago, compliment of a Kiyai for uttering distasteful remarks about HRH The Sultan of Selangor of the time. Among all, he still feels the brunt of being surrounded by Malays outside the Parliament who demanded an apology from him over lewd remarks that he made about the Malays. According to those who witnessed this, the so-called Tiger of Jelutong looked more like a castrated cat at the vet until his burly son made the overly bollywood dramatic rescue. Even his son looked shocked when he found out that the Malays were never scared of him and his thugonomics.

At times, one might pity pas and dap as the many decades have seen them knocked out cold by Tun Mahathir, again and again. But serves them right anyway, they thought just because Tun is retired, he'll be an easy target...until they got gored in their own decrepit asses while trying.

Since John Mallot blew his horn to signal pakatan rakyat to instigate and start any sort of racial and religious tension in Malaysia so that they can create a crisis, things never got better for them. Wait, you say Mallott's horn tooting was a signal? Of course, that's how soros' network goes about. What, you think he's just writing for fun? The signal has been given but there's no crisis to be displayed yet. Anwar's deep in (title of Shahnon Ahmad's book) for probing into some crap-hole, PKR's in the crapper with all the bigwigs leaving, pas' in-fighting between n.ajis' faction against hadi's, and dap just got caned publicly for their attempts to distort history. They even made enemies of their own strong soldiers like Zulkifli Nordin. Now, pakatan has to pay the piper.

The so-called Masa Untuk Berubah gathering by pas yesterday even left a wide unfilled gap on Saturday 19th of February 2011. It is bad enough paying people to participate and attend, but for hadi to indirectly insinuate that azizan's state government is sleeping, well, that's just rude. You don't come to somebody's house and indirectly sneer the host. I guess, in a way azizan deserves that: he doesn't conform to hadi, never supported n.ajis and hates anwar too much. Worse still, hadi was talking about how the Malaysian government oppresses the people. I agree, it's so downright scary and sad to see people forced to go to work, barred from doing other activities, not allowed to go anywhere else for fear of being shot...wait...hadi must've talking in the wrong country. Who can blame him? Too scared to go to Egypt, so, just talk trash here then.

Why do they need crisis? Anwar and pakatan realize that their chances of winning fairly in the next general election has been downgraded from "a pile of crap" to "my word, what a big cesspool", the only way to wrest the country away is by force - even if it involves violence, murder and pillage. Yes, the old "might is right" strategy. Is it a surprise to see how anwar, hadi, n.ajis and many other pakatan leaders have started to talk about how the movement in Egypt will come to Malaysia? They might not realize that a similar movement is already taking place, and it is to oust them.

It is sad to see that pakatan's state assemblyman is now choosy about helping people in their constituencies. They want only issues that they feel worthy enough to be crisis. Of course, you can ask people in Bangsar for example, everybody is wondering where their MP is? She's still playing "now you see me not, now you don't see me at all."

Attempts to sabotage government's accomplishments are rampant now: the 7.2% growth rate identified by economists has been branded as "non-existent" by opposition. To them, it doesn't exist, just like anwar's brain. The more accomplishments are made by the Malaysian government, the more it hurts pakatan's credibility...if it ever exists.

As I Have mentioned in my previous posting, mahfuz (Anwar's personal choice for pas Kedah) is a bit premature in ejaculating the Selamatkan Malaysia tag on his banners. Kedahans are still in stitches on that. Malaysia needed to be saved from anwar, the deviating pas and the socialist dap; and Kedah needs to be saved from twats like mahfuz.

There need not be any trickle of the movement in Egypt, as the wave of change will be coming to sweep pakatan off the rug, and I wonder if they will ever realize that. By then, they might find it a crisis for them to contend within themselves. In the meantime, anybody got any crisis for pakatan to make a meal of?

Tun M Crossed The Line? Shame On You, Pas

Ever since Tun lambasted nik ajis via his blog (for the full article, read here), not much has been heard from n.ajis. According to close sources, the huge dose of reality really floored n.ajis as he was rendered speechless and having to think hard of how to defuse the embarrassment that seems to be piling on him like shahnon ahmad's book. In Kedah, it was totally quiet on pas' doorstep, but there were huge applause and compliments coming from the public. As can be seen throughout Tun's history as PM, n.ajis was never given much of a quarter whenever he tried to pull a fast one on Tun.

To people who knows Tun style and leadership, Tun's face-smacking reply to the decrepit n.ajis is not really a surprise. It has been well known that Tun despises people who are so set about in splitting Muslims and Malays asunder. Kedahans have always known for a fact that, just because a person never shows his religious knowledge and views, never wears jubah and lebai on the head, you never assume that the person is ignorant in his/her religion. The can of whoop-ass n.ajis received from Tun was largely rated by Kedahans as a big, fat "Padan Muka." Strangely, other pas bigwigs seemed to be tongue-tied along with n.ajis.

It's understandable how n.ajis' fanatical members refuse to have tea at any stalls and restaurants where Kedahans are still laughing at n.ajis. To these fanatical twerps, Tun really crossed the line. Tun has disgraced Islam and defiled their most worshipped guru with that posting on his blog. Well, that's their view, maybe they forgot that ajis is just a man. Also, they will never see the truth in what Tun wrote, as the person they worship will always be right even when he's wrong. Even for n.ajis, considering that he expects everybody to respect him as an elder, chiding Tun in that fashion simply shows that he has no respect for his elders either. That must be Kepimpinan Melalui Teladan then, in his face.

There are too many times pas seems to love authorizing themselves to play "god" by deeming who is a Muslim and who is not among Muslims. Claiming that their party represents Islam and condemning other people as infidels for not joining them is simply deviating. Splitting the Muslims with 2 Imams during Friday prayers,  and pas deviations' list go on and on. Taking in klutzes like mahfuz and mat sapu didn't really help their image.

What is so Islamic about pas? In Kedah alone, it has never been a secret how the anwar-mahfuz faction, the amirrudin faction, all fighting the azizan phahrolrazi faction, tussling for the MB seat. And what about the exco member who took back his contribution of a box of sardines to flood victims during the Kedah floods? The strangely ignorant and dying state government under the forever sleeping Azizan, and well, the ever so financially depleted GLCs of Kedah under pas rule, and that's just to name a few.

Tun crossed the line? Please. N.ajis crossed the line decades ago, and the lambasting he got from Tun was befitting, even most pas members, Hadi and other pas bigwigs know it too well. Maybe N.ajis and his followers should return to Islamic teachings, they might benefit more there, and know where their place in this world. In fact, maybe na.jis should use his knowledge for religious purposes instead of just for winning elections.

P/S: Kedahans are still confused with mahfuz-anwar faction’s banners which always stated “Selamatkan Malaysia.”  This is because most Kedahans believe that Kedah should be saved from mahfuz and Malaysia from the “backing” anwar Ibrahim.

Kito Ase Oghe Kedoh...Really?

I understand that pas will be having a gathering, or a rally on this Saturday 19th of February 2011 at Kota Sarang Semut, supposedly to be a gathering of 30,000. Understandably, the population of Kedah, namely in Alor Setar has increased slightly. I wouls understand if Kedahans who support the deviated party return from the other states for this gathering, but the people I met are indeed northerners, but from a different coast.

It happens every time. Whenever pas holds a rally, ceramah, meeting, or some events that require huge crowds, there'll be buses from the east coast, bringing stacks of Kelantanese into the state. I must say it brings good business to Kedah, but socially, it is questionable. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Kelantanese, it's just some of the rotten apples that came along. One of the times they were here for the 2008 elections, they destroyed a Kemas kindergarten in Kuala Kedah, much to the anger of Azizan and local pas members, who send their children there.

There was a time I met a group of them during the Anak Bukit by-election after Fadzil Nor passed away. They proudly stated "Kita oghe kedoh!" Wrong dialect, brother...and to go to Alor Setar, you turn right at the junction, not left. That explains why people in Anak Bukit were laughong their socks off as well. Another thing: eating roti canai with dhal and sugar is NOT Kedahan at all. To blend in, go and practice first, for goodness sake.

Looking at the number of chartered buses arriving in Alor Setar and east coast dialect in Alor Setar, one can easily guess who will be the majority crowd during the up-coming rally. Despite pas claiming everybody in Kedah backs them, they still end up with less and less people attending their ceramahs. Perhaps that's why they have to import supporters. Let's hope that they're not here under state's expense. But not to worry there, Kedah state has no money to do so anyway.

Anyway, as expected Datuk Mukhriz' Gelombang Merah Berani Berubah and Masa Untuk Berubah  sure left a mark on pas. They even decided to name their rally cry "Masa Untuk Berubah" as well.

I'm still trying to figure this out: anwar's link with the jewish lobbyists/sponsorers and his noose-tinghtening sodomy trial, pas under the deviating n.ajis splitting Muslims and Malays, dap's anti-Islam stand...what in the world does pas' Masa Untuk Berubah means to change? Change to mahfuz perhaps?

Kedah Berani Berubah (Teaser 2)

Kedah Bakal Berubah (Teaser)

Kedahans have seen, felt and were even hurt and disappointed with the failure after failure of the pas-led government of Kedah in handling major issues. Kedahans have now vied for a change and its wave shall arrive. Wait for it...

Was The Week Supposed To Be Like This?

While anwar is playing a lot of bollywood comedy in the court this week, there was a lot of giggling going on when the MB of Kedah, Azizan stated that the state is considering its own dissolution of the State Assembly. The giggling? Oh right, well, many people knew that this was another hard attempt on distraction from any issues on what is the state up to right now in assisting the flood victims.

I might sound narcistic in keeping this "old" issue of the Kedah floods, but now that the water has subsided, nothing much has been done. Maybe Azizan and his cohorts are breathing a few sighs of relief, but the aftermath has been a constant burn in his sleep. The flood waters brought so much debris that became clogs in the drainage system. Sure the rain is not as heavy and constant as before but every time a heavy thunderst6orm decides to pass by, the drainage system fails to divert the incoming volume of water, which in turn causes flash floods and more traumatic woes to the victims who have already suffered. Well, Azizan, despite the weather outside, it's not all bright and sunny day yet, and don't fall asleep yet.

Another reason for azizan not to fall asleep is a person who might just threaten his seat and successor. Yes, we're talking about the all wind and mouth, but no brain mahfuz. Yes, despite pas members have been laughing at him behind his back (lucky it wasn't anwar), he is back, lurking around and his eyes are really fixed on the seat of Azizan's. It has always been an open secret that azizan has no desire (or wits) to be the MB for a 2nd term, and he has already hand-picked and groomed his successor, much to the aghast of his hard working "Deputy." Mahfuz' casting himself into the much murky pool might just threat the succession plans. On the other hand, anybody replacing him can never go any lower after that, because we already had mahfuz as mb. Boy, when you think you can't go any lower after Pak Lah...

I don't have much confidence in Bashah, Det Khalid and many more in UMNO Kedah, but still, I mist take my hat off and give the respect deserved for the tireless efforts on their part during the floods. Yes, I keep bumping into them on the roads and areas during the floods. Keep up the good work. We'll deal politics with you after this...yes, yes, get ready for bantering.

Now we turn to one of the most loathed individual ever to exist in Malaysia. No, no, we're not talking about mahfuz again, we're talking about the other loathsome one, though slightly useful, Khairy Jamalludin. This is the guy who won the Ketua Pemuda UMNO Malaysia after a gutsy 10(?) hour vote counting, followed by the rhythmic, victorious chant of "KJ RASUAH!" We have seen this week on the talks of a cabinet reshuffle and/or not, and the most worrying among all, and dreaded by almost every single Malaysian, is that rumors are spread that KJ might be a Deputy Minister. On the other hand, rumors also stated that Mukhriz will be a full Minister (good rumor, that). We can almost hear everybody getting to arms with the KJ news. Well, unless Najib has a political death wish or a wildly bizarre sense of humor, we hope this will never happen. Of course, we hope Mukhriz would be a Minister, although we feel that he's in an even better position if he returns to lead Kedah.

Why not KJ? Do I have to explain? Someone branded this guy as "Anwar's Apprentice" once, and how surprising can it get? He rose through the ranks just like anwar, much to everybody's chagrin, and became one of Malaysia's back-seat ruler during pak lah. God knows what will happen if this feathered-duck upstrart gets to be a minister. Then again, his loyalists have been lobbying and campaigning for KJ for a ministrial post for quite some time already, which shows how insensitive they are the wishes of fellow Malaysians.

Well, who would ever believe it? On the state level, you have a clown vying for the highest seat in Kedah and on a federal level, you have an unwanted has-been trying to claw his way in. It has been a week, it could've been better.

Oh yes, you might notice I use old pictures...

Voices Up North : Whispers In The Wind

Well, those pakatan twerps are still doing the work of 3 people: Larry, Curly and Moe. They were seen a few days ago placing banners of themselves on the road to parliament, in protest of an UMNO banner which was

placed somewhere there as well. It's nice to see the Malays of pas and pkr hanging up the posters and banners of dap and pas, while the Chinese and Indians also hanging up the dap materials. It's amusing to see the Chinese and Indian pakatan members not even touching pas posters and banners, not even with a 10 foot stick. I am still wondering why. Maybe that's why they still worship Anwar's 1-All-Seeing-Eye.

Anyway, let's leave the red monkeys flying banners and posters up their respective... ummm... wherever they want to stick it and return up north. Since last year, there were whispers of a new Ketua Perhubungan Negeri for UMNO Kedah to replace the present Shafiee Afdal. But all of the rumors seem to die down after time. Every few months, you'll hear this again and again, and the UMNO warlords had to go all out to put out this fire. Alas, nowadays, the whispers are not whispering anymore, it's getting louder. And the wind carrying the whispers seem to blow faster and faster and you can almost smell the whiff of fear permeating in the air, mostly coming from the camps of the old UMNO warlords.

At this moment, nobody can attest to the authencity of this new Ketua Perhubungan Negeri. Even at that, in so many places, one name has been cropping up, and that will be Mukhriz Mahathir. I wouldn't be scratching my head if Jerlun and/or Kubang Pasu talks of him, but to have areas such as Baling, Sungai Petani and even Jerai? Now that's a name that spells change for Kedah and the state UMNO.

If it is true, if Mukhriz is the UMNO Kedah's Ketua Perhubungan Negeri, then finally the grassroots, instead of their state leaders, will finally get what they have always wanted, and that's maybe the first time since pak lah. Some people did declare that they did wish Najib would listen to the grassroots instead of the Ketua Cawangan or Bahagian. If this happens, maybe he did. And if he did, it's about time. Kedahans are sick and tired of the dundering blockheads...no, not mahfuz, that have been running the state from one disaster to another, to which the water problem sees no solution. It doesn't matter what pas supporters say because, all their defenses will still give no water to those affected areas. And of course, we are also sick to the stomach with old umno humpty dumptys (the warlords), who are scrambling to get positions for themselves, and most of Najib's men could never put all these humpty dumptys together again.

It must also be said that it will not be an easy road for Mukhriz if the rumors are right. He will have to work hard to establish his own footing, away from the shadows of his father in Kedah. Support from grassroots might not be much of a problem but he still needs to prove his worth. To achieve all of these might prove to be a road full of treachery for him, as we have seen what happened to his father in Kubang Pasu in the nomination to be a delegate last time. Most treacheries might be from within the state, and there might be one or two from somewhere in-between the country's capital and it's southern neighbor. Mukhriz might also find that the son of his father's closest neighbor in Kedah to be such a noisy fly. Well, it will be more noisy with the MB's chair up for grabs in a few years.

The hesitant icon of Kedah shall return? Will we see drastic measures of change sweeping up UMNO Kedah? It is about time those useless UMNO warlords find the exits waiting for them. While waiting for this, I'll just brush up on this nice 70s song by a group called Steam called Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye...


Ok, altogether now, "nanana, nanana, hey hey hey goodbye..."

And once we're done, let's recap at Kedah Sejahtera (?)
