DAP and Kit Siang approaching its expiry date

The Star today reports on a blog "alleging" of abuses of funds of Selangor DAP assemblymen, and predictably Kit Siang has dismissed these allegations as a conspiracy. Just as DSAI has done whenever he's faced with similar allegations. And a quick look at his blogs show, anyone who questions LKS is a brainless UMNO brainwashed Malaysian citizen.

I absolutely abhor these unsubstantiated stereotypes. I have only voted once before in 2004, as I was a disenfranchised voter in 1999, and was a PKR party worker in 2008 for a different constituency to which I was eligible to vote in. And the only time I voted, and I am indeed very embarassed to admit, I voted for the DAP and for this old man's party.

If Kit Siang continues with his holier than the whole world attitide, and continues thsi arrogant and condescending attitude that he shares with Karpal, (which I have shared in previous blogposts before), they will only bring down the whole PR alliance. TBH's death is tragic, but the excessive attacking stance that DAP has taken in response, is revolting to me. I can't believe that all DAP assemblymen will pass a 'fit-and-proper' assessment if such a test was applied. The Perak assemblywoman was as much to be blamed for Perak's fate as Mr Postman and the other guy from PKR were, and in my eyes even more so as it was her seat which caused the swing, so what's there to prevent all these inexperienced, wide-eyed first-time assemblymen to make procedural mistakes which could be viewed as "abuses".

As long as Kit Siang attempts to cloud people's mind through these "unjustified" attacks on the still-nascent MACC by equating these to DSAI's troubles in 1998, then he is also a true-blue politician, as dishonest, arrogant, blinded from the truth as his political opponents he so enjoys to make fun of. His true colours only comes out once his party becomes part of the governing establishment. I say down to the DAP and down to this old man!

Residuals - Ekuinas

Ekuinas - Funny name as it reminds me of horse-racing. Perhaps in the spirit of MIHAS’s halal beer, we can also have halal gambling? But I digress.

Not too sure what the proposition is to create another PE funding scheme in tourism, education and O&G, but it does look like a brilliant opportunity to tap into innovations and quality management products within the larger GLCs. We could possibly deploy the funds into “real” fundamental changes rather than “financial” funded opportunities, which after the hype, slowly descends into a tormenting, lingering death when unable to find the appropriate management directions to create lasting change. Food for thought?

DAP "leaders" who are unfit to lead

If news reports are to be believed, the Kedah DAP plans to quit the Pakatan Rakyat due to several issues, amongst which is them disputing the demolition of an ILLEGAL pig abattoir in Alor Setar. Heck, DAP leaders in Kedah – are you representing pork eaters or the law? And, another thing. Let’s ferret out these numbskulls and ensure that they are removed, nay – prevented, from holding office again, ever. Lim Kit Siang, please, open your eyes. Karpal – you’re a lawyer I hear? Oh I forgot, lawyers represent their clients, not the truth. Anwar – stop all this drama about PPSMI as a treachery of the Malay language and such political trivialities. Please, you’re in a position to instill real, sustained change in Malaysia, so leave behind your personal ambitions and glory-hunting tendencies. Seek your conscience, and indulge them, please, not for your sake, but for ours.
