The hype stirred from the cow.

It was another dark day for Malaysians to mourn for on 28th August 2009. 'Self-claimed-residents' of Section 23 in Shah Alam took the streets, protesting over the proposal of a Hindu temple being build in the area. They claimed that the existence of such a temple would cause disharmony among Malay Muslims, the majority ethnic group in the area.
The protest did not drew much attention until 2 residents held a slaughtered cow's head towards the Selangor state govt office. They cursed, stepped, spitted on it. A demonstrator even threatened of blood shed if the proposal is being carried out.


Using a cow's head instead of any other animal signifies that their intentions were clear. Cows are 'holy' as for the Hindus. Hatred incited was enormous and and it was certainly humiliating towards the Hindus. I wonder if the continuous projection of Najib's theme of One Malaysia in all forms of mass media failed to incarcerate the idea of racial integration and harmony in these protesters' minds. Double standards of the Police or FRU or wadever authorities it is could also be seen during the incident. No water cannons. No force. No detention. One Malaysia aye???

And btw, the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission requested Malaysiakini to remove the above video bcuz it was described as provocative and offensive. They are claiming that it is provocative but at the same time defending the provocative action. ^^ I love Malaysia

Predictions on Bukit Gantang as the euphoria draws near.

Bukit Gantang:
Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin vs Ismail Saffian

This is being seen as a mini general election to either prove or deny that the wave of tsumani of March 8th is still on. Pakatan Rakyat is also hoping for a morale boosting victory here after the Perak turmoil. This would be a David vs Goliath battle on 1st view of the candidates with a much more illustrated Nizar going up against the underdog Ismail. However, UMNO had been doing their utmost best in trying to smear Nizar's credibility, calling him 'derhaka' towards the Sultan, and also saying him as being the puppet of DAP. This might somehow affect the older Malay voters in the constituency but not the young ones and the non-Malays.
PAS and DAP figures had also been campaigning hard, not also to mention Anwar Ibrahim. Our 6th Prime Minister, Najib is also seen around the constituency campaigning. However, the X-factor of the entire build up to polling day lies neither on Anwar nor even Najib, but its Dr Mahathir. His announcement to rejoin UMNO and appearance around the constituency is likely to swing away voters towards UMNO as he is still highly regarded by the people and his words would have strong influence. In my view, this time around, the fence voters would be on UMNO's side, but UMNO will still not be able to overcome Nizar and company.
Prediction: Nizar winning by 5-6ks of votes.

Lets pray and hope that this prediction doesnt remain as a prediction, but actually comes into reality. To all fellow Bukit Gantang voters: Remember Atlantuya. Remember Keris. Remember to vote for Pakatan Rakyat.

The deranged Silver State

08.03.08 Perak citizens would remember this date vividly as it brought a change for the first time in 5 decades. Those days when the Pakatan Rakyat managed to form the government with a simple majority were signs of hope and alteration. Yet, this joy was severely blacken out in just a number of days by the BN. Dato Nizar is no longer our MB, needless to say, PR is no longer our government. Perak had officially fallen back to the hands of the cruel, corrupted ones. Perakians are in a state of despair and anxiety, acknowledging the fact that 11 months was all the Pakatan Rakyat was given. We've lost, to a well-planned 'government over-throwing plan' which was conducted deliberately by the BN. Behrang representative Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi, Mohd Osman Jailu of Changkat Jering, and Hee Yit Foong of Jelapang had quited their respective parties and turn independent. Every smart thinking citizens could be able to figure what was behind these defections. Nothing but millions.
IMO, This deliberate plan would rather backfire BN. I strongly believe that the RAKYAT would bite their backs by voting for the PR, for they had neglected the RAKYAT's wishes, and overthrow over very PR with nasty works. Thou some might say the wind of change had quiet down, but after Permatang Pauh, Kuala Terengganu and this Perak turmoil, we are indeeed heading for some major, big time changes in the next few years.
Let them have Perak for now, and we shall conquer Malaysia later.

Pakatan Rakyat forever.
