The result of the Tenang by-election is expected. I would be fall from my chair if BN lost the seat. The reason why I said so is because Johor is UMNO fortress and secondly it is not a contest between BN and PR but rather between the Government and PR. I don’t think I need to dwell much into the facts of the event but would rather focus on voter’s mentality in Tenang.
-
For few days in the row, the EC chief said that the EC is in close contact with “Jabatan Kajicuaca” (JKC) and trust the predictions put forward by the department. One day before the election, the EC chief said that the JKC has predicted that there will be no rain in Tenang and it will be a fine weather. As it turns out it shows that the JKC predictions is no better than that of P. Ramlee in “Nujum Pak Belalang”. The weather was not fine but the high water level in Tenang is indeed tenang (calm)!
-
I don’t what the voters in Tenang were thinking went they went out to vote yesterday. Flood is such regular hassle for them. They have probably endured it with regular hardship and property damage over the years. Here on the polling day, GOD unleash its regular signs to the people of Tenang and yet they voted the same party that has failed to resolve their flood woes for years. If the flood had come few months earlier, I could say that the people have forgotten their hardship. Here on the “polls judgment day” in their own backyard, they chose to vote a party that failed to solve their regular problem.
-
So how do we evaluate the mentality of the people Tenang? Can we say that they are brand conscious and had voted as such? Are they not able to make an objective assessment? Could it be that they have got used to flood and they don’t feel it is a problem? I don’t know. How do we assess people’s mentality? What is the actual trigger factor in the mind of voters when they make a decision? Is it something that happens few weeks ago or few months ago or some other things?
-
This is the question that politicians and new political party like KITA
need to address. If KITA can unlock the mystery, then Kita probably has some chance. Right now they cannot depend on their brand as it is still new and not many people knew the brand.
By the way, do you recognize this logo?

SHAH ALAM: PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has reassured Malays that the party will continue to protect their interests should it come to power with its Pakatan Rakyat partners in the next general election.
He said neither PAS nor any of its Pakatan partners had pushed aside the rights of the Malays.
“For PAS, Malays need to be prioritised in our agenda because they are the dominant race in the country,” Nik Aziz said in his keynote speech at the opening of a PAS convention here yesterday.
The convention, entitled the National Race Empowerment Convention, is an attempt by PAS to garner Malay support and also to suppress allegations that the party is anti-Malay.
Nik Aziz also lambasted Umno for not upholding Islam or looking after Malay interests.
He claimed Umno’s economic policies had caused an unequal distribution of wealth among the various races in Malaysia.
Nik Aziz said the New Economic Policy (NEP) was used only for Umno’s interest.
“This is Umno’s systematic betrayal to the Indians, Chinese, Ibans, other races and the end result of the NEP was the creation and flourishing of Umno Ketuanan Melayu cronies,” he added.
Pakatan Rakyat has seen a decline in Malay support following several by-elections, which saw Malay votes swing to Barisan Nasional.
The convention came after PAS’ loss in the Tenang by-election.
Meanwhile, PAS vice-president Datuk Mahfuz Omar said the convention was to silence critics who have branded PAS as anti-Malay.
“This convention is organised to convince the Malays and bumiputras that PAS and Pakatan will always defend their rights,” Mahfuz said.
“It was Umno who was responsible for the decrease of Malay rights in the country,” he said.
Doc,
I could see the rationale behind the logo and to be perfectly honest, it’s too ‘hypish’ to a point where I know the hands together are supposed to mean ‘care.’
Im curious though as to the choice of color; why orange? And strictly from an Art Direction point of view, the person who designed the logo could’ve done much, much better.
Just saying :-p
Raffick,
Heard of David Marshall….Nice chap, genuine fella….Yadda A JEW….He sincerely wanted to fight for Singapore……But then, what happen to him? How does he end up?
Ref. the return of floods in South WM, the FT area is no better despite the Super-Smart Super-Expensive Malaysia-Boleh Tunnel. It could be due to more rubbish, criminal negligience in providing municpal services (collection of rubbish, maintnance of drains, prosecution of polluters, failure to cater for water from growing built areas) or deluded/suborned studies of hydrology. Regardless, FT people are in the same boat, though not affected so badly. Folk in Kelantan and Trengganu (2 “oil-rich” states) have probably given up all hope.
Of course the FELDA settlers will vote BN. Our 1PM has just “allocated” RM 1.6 billion of OUR money to FELDA to refill its coffers.
Kok,
I think you got the facts wrong.
Since 1990 FELDA unlike other statutory bodies, ceased to rely on Federal funding to run it’s operations. This means over 20 years this has happened. Felda’s yearly opex is between RM150m to RM400m since 1990 till now. Federal government has saved easily RM2b.
FELDA makes RM900m profits per year. Based on this easily RM500m per year can be channeled to the benefit of FELDA settlers.
My suspicion is that RM1.6b if Felda’s money any not the tax payers money. Please check your facts before commenting.
I have no access to Felda accounts. The only information I have is the announcement by 1PM in January that he has allocated the money to Felda. That is exactly the same information that the voters in Tenang have got.
Maybe this would help
http://www.detikdaily.net/v5/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=449951
well, before u think about ruling the country. u guys better solve the INTERNAL problem between the PAS, DAP and KeAdilan.
Jj,
I agree with you. The very first thing they have to do is that they have to formalise the coalition.
I don’t want to vote this coalition until it is made known who will lead and the command structure of the coalition. Common issues on policies so that regardless of how many states they control, there are common policies. There shouldn’t be free water in Selangor but Kedah, Penang and Kelantan voters there pay for water.
I want to know too, how they intend to divide thr seat allocation.
With BN I know how many UMNO, MIC, MCA etc seats are allocated upfront.
SB4S
“formalise the coalition.”
Is that necessary and how this helps the people?
“there are common policies.”
Again, how this helps unless all people and state are in similar ‘common’ condition.
“how they intend to divide thr seat allocation.”
Is that an important criterion to assess? It is merely some ‘feel good’ stunt, would not bring much benefit.
I personally think it is okay to have some infighting and bickering among members of a coalition, the rakyat have the rights to know more. I am not that comfortable with backdoor / close door negotiation and arrangement. We rakyat always rugi in the end.
HY,
Why need to formalise the coalition & common policies:
1. To show that DAP, PAS and PKR can actually deliver their promise to form the coalition. If this simple promise they can’t do ……..
2. Common stand – we can’t have DAP saying no “Islamic State” but at the same time PAS say “Islamic State”. When comes elections, PR say vote for PAS is a vote for DAP and PKR. So “Islamic State” or not? Without a coalition, one party can sing a different tune to difference audition.
Seat allocation:
1. Like it or not, short of the 3 parties merging and disbanding and is only known as Pakatan Rakyat, the issue of seat allocation will always be critical for each of the three parties. Accepting this fact, any voters would like to know how PR intends to allocate the seats. If I am a PAS supporter but is in the constituency where I am asked to vote for DAP, I would like to know whether PAS has enough seats in the coalition so that it has a bigger say otherwise why should I vote PR? Isn’t it the spin against MCA now similar? Because of the smaller seat allocation, PR is spinning that MCA is UMNO’s tool?
Backdoor/Close Door Negotiations:
1. It is okay if the bickering is over trivial issues. However, if the bickering is over the relevant party’s core principles it is a major problem. How are we going to reconcile between PAS – “Islamic State” and DAP – “Malaysian Malaysia”?. I would want to know before casting my vote for a DAP candidate!
If PR aim to be true representative o people. they shud consider doing preliminary election American style in each parliamentary/DUN seat. anyone whio agrees with Buku Jingga can participate to be a candidate. so PAS, PKR, KITA, non affiliated party citizen can be chosen by rakyat. whoever wins will participate in upcoming gneral 13 election under PR banner. I am sure they will be less infighting for seat allocation.
but it’s tovgood to be true
Guys,
It is difficult to make BN change without a competition and that’s why we need PR. Just hope that it is through healthy competition and not always the case of each other arguing on “pot telling the kettle black”.
History has shown that allowing a country to be ruled by monopoly/absolute power corrupts. Look at Shah of Iran, Sadam Hussein, Ben Ali and now Hosni Mubarak. Closer to home – look what happens to Marcos, Suharto and Tak Sin.
Dear Dr,
totally agreed with what you write.
Some fact:
1. on 29/1/2011, they already know that some lower area at Tenang already flooded.
2. Weather warning from Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia
http://www.met.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1327&Itemid=567
SECTION A : HEAVY RAIN WARNING (RED STAGE)
Issued at : 3.50 pm, 30 January 2011
Heavy Rain Advisory (Orange Stage) updated at 12.30 pm, 30 January 2011 is upgraded to Heavy Rain Warning (Red Stage). Continuous rain occasionally heavy occurring over Johore (Muar, Ledang, Segamat, Kluang and Batu Pahat Districts) is expected to continue until Monday, 31 January 2011.
3. After 2006 flood, BN claimed that they have done everything to prevent any flash flood recur.
4. After 2006 worst floods they spend billion for floods mitigation work but money flooded to who’s pocket? and we still get flood???
5. My friend shop at Segamat unable to buy any insurance with flood policy since then. OMG!
6. My family and friends are affected since yesterday (water level higher than 2006) and all are depend on self-help effort since then.
7. Many peoples like me are eager to go back, but which road is cut off by flood? when can get help? We have to depend on our own or call our friend or some FB page set-up personally.
8. News reported yesterday, we have 3000 police and army to help in Tenang, but today my friend from Segamat, Tenang, Gemas, etc inform me that hardy see and Army or to the extend no Army boat was deploy. Some area only depend on private boat
SSB
I think there were few factors UMNO won the Tenang.
(1) UMNO using scarce and racist tactics work well with rural malay.
(2) UMNO using MSM and money politics work well.
(3) Malay/Indian in Tenang don’t care about national issues like rampant corruption, injustice, abuse of power, crime rates education and healthcare system. To them they think that it wound not affect their daily life.
(4) PAS/PKR did not work hard or not effective on the ground before the by-election or general election. It was not good just to give ceramah talk and get the Malay support during election period. It would be too late to ask for support during the election. The leaders from PAS/PKR must get close to the rular malay and understand their feelings and problems.
Well, UMNO won but Malaysia will stuck in making progress with the current leadership we have.
MC,
1. BN used scare and racist tactics (if true). PAS tried to bribe by using “pahala”. Both the same.
2. If you have evidence of money politics, you should make police report otherwise you shouldn’t make such allegation. Do post the police report once you have made it! We all would like to know the juicy details.
3. Like I said, what they know is that they are happy with the high palm oil prices. Nothing else matters.
4. The fact that PAS candidate’s husband was cheating the children in the school that he taught by getting a 21 day MC but instead seen with his wife during campaign. Pure abuse. Our tax money being cheated out by the candidate’s husband. What is worst is that the candidate supports such cheating.
MC, this is democracy, majority rules. I would say the same thing for Permatang Pauh’s voters that elected a former convict who were incarcerated for abuse of power!
No 3,4 – I agree
No 2- fully supported
No 1 – there is logic to your argument
(1) I am not sure if PAS says anyting about this. PAS maybe tryig to tell people that good muslim go to heaven. That was not a bribe.
(2) There was a clear Video evidence of PM trying to use RM5 Million to bribe chinese voters in Sibu by election. If this was not money politics, what do you call it? Would our law enforcement dare to touch the case? Many promises for millions..millions during this buy election, wasn’t this money politics?
(3) I agree with you. They don’t care about rampant corruption, crime rates…education system as those issues are not important to them.
(4) If that was what you said was true, you don’t have to worry, the Education Ministry couldn’t waite to punish him. Remeber what the education director trying to do with him. He was almost immediately put into transfer to JB because he couldn’t control his wife!!
Ah you are talking about tax money!! Millions and billions were siphoned off via contracts/projects, disneyland trips, APCO, MAS scandals…Rosmah overseas trip…PKFZ……etc National Audit also have many findings on abuses and irregularities…Can you see it? No? Of course, you can’t see it!!
MC,
You wrote “BN used scare and RACIST tactics work well with the rural Malays”. As if the Chinese are interested in good governace and voted PAS. Many Chinese voted for UMNO/BN – a safety net !
I am talking about the majority. You can’t get 100% chinese to support PR. At least majority of chinese understand the national issues now.
For rural indian, BN can easily gain their support with some promises and goodies.
For rural malay, maybe they simply don’t care much about national issues like corruption, education, crime, healthcare, abuse of power…etc. And the scare and racist tactics work well. They worry without UMNO, malay will lose the power to govern Malaysia. That is what the ex-PM doing now to make the Malay scarce. He is now using the Singapore to gain political mileage.
What evidence do you have that the Malay rural folk are not concern about crime, healthcare and education? What makes you think by voting pr these issues are resolved?what are pr policies on these? Do they have any?
Under UMNO government with rampant corruption, high crime rates, poor education system, healthcare, abuse of power, injustice…etc. Yet the rural malay still support UMNO goverment. They simply don’t care much about national issues. What other evidence do you need?
PR will embark the reform to clamp down corruption practice (Penang already done it), improve education and helthcare systems, restore justice, and etc. I believe given the chance they will do better than the UMNO government. Even though they are not perfect.
With the current UMNO government and leadership Malaysia will stuck in making progress and left behind. Evidence is there with 888 billions illicit money outflow to overseas. Even with 88 billions was too much! Can Malaysia afford to let those corrupt contiuing siphoned off billions? I check the dictionary illicit means “illegal” !! Of course UMNO goverment will deny this!! Whatever they do is legal!!
Why are you running away from answering?
Why don’t you give:
1) 2 examples of pr Common reform proposal on healthcare?
2) 2 examples for security improvement?
3) 2 examples of pr common stand on education reform.
(I am asking for two only and we can debate from there)
also how can your evidence is the voting. Are you saying whoever votes for UMNO doesn’t care about education, crime, healthcare etc. If that is the case anyone can also say those who vote for pas believes in Islamic state, vote dap believes in “Chinese chauvinistic attitude” and pkr believes in fraud forgery undemocratic practices etc etc. What kind of rubbish thinking is this? So own up and be a man. Provide evidence Malay rural folk are not concern about healthcare, crime, and education.
The current government failed to solve the problem of rampant corruption, educaction, high crime rates, abuse of power and etc for years. Under UMNO government, all these problems will not be solved in years to come.
Basically Malaysia progress will either left behind or stuck for years.
It is time for people to give the chance to opposition to reform the whole systems. I say give the opposition 5 years. If they cannot perform,kick them out.
Look at MACC and Police force for example, don’t have the best procedures and policies? NO? What happen to all the big fish?
With the corrupt regime, would you expect them to enforce the policies and law enforcement?
You always can come out with the best policies and procedures with the expert and professional help, the problem is the compliance, implementation and enforcement.
If PR have not got the policies in details, they would be able to draft out ones.
Go and ask the rural malay in Tenang, you will get the answer. Maybe they also worry PAS Islamic State!
Talking Islamic State. I thought the ex-PM and many top leadershio in UMNO already said Malaysia is Islamic State? NO? So what is the problem?
Don’t you hear the latest news that? The ex-PM said, UMNO is now a party of Contract!! They only care about contract!! Contract!! Contract!!
Commission! Commission!!
So I take it you fail and utterly unable to show that pr does have any semblance of healthcare crime and education preform roposals at all. Then what is there for these Malay rural folk to consider pr. PR cannot even proffer any tangible proposal. To them before their very eyes they know at their kampung they have a very very low crime rate. The have proper school facilities and teachers. Their health
interests are protected. They have clinics and medical facilities. The children are provided educational support.
So why would any reasonable man even consider pr who cannot even articulate education crime and healthcare proposals? Worse these partisan minded people dare to look down at their mindset and mentality when these people can’t even speak or articulate one.
So mc get out of this useless partisan mindset. It does not benefit pr at all coz you are totally disconnected and living in your own castle. You pride yourself in saying others are ignorant but it’s a foolish pride leading nowhere. Syok sendiri.
The problem for Malaysia is we have mentality like you to defence the corrupt and abusive regime.
What kind of mentality you have? UMNO mentality? As I have said it many times , it is not possible to debate and convince UMNO goons.
Tell you what, Malaysia will not make any further progress in term of economy, education and more corruptions and crimes, abuse of power. Because we have many mentality like you to defence the Corrupt regime.
Malaysia will stuck here for years without real reform. This is reality in Malaysia.
That is why Malaysia can never catch up with Singapore in term of economy, education, healthcare and etc. This is hard truth!! No?
Even Malaysia go bankrupt one day, you will still defence corrupt regime and blame everything on PR. To you UMNO is the only hope for Malaysia. Without UMNO malaysia will collapse!!
I condemn corruption, racism and abuse of power whether they are PR or UMNO.
MC,
Why this insistent bashing of UMNO? Agree that we condemn corruption, racism and abuse of power regardles on who they are . Money talks mah! The politicians and people of authority provide the opportunities and the underground world through the so called corporate figures are the manipulaters ! Go after them also lah!
AK
How? With the corrupt regime in charge of law enforcement, how?
Would the law enforcement dare to do anything without instructions?
By all means, prosecute all of them whether UMNO or PR.
My point of contention was simple and straight forward. I debunk your mindset that degrades ‘malay rural folk’. You were the one who argued that they don’t care about health, education and crime. And to me you’re too off base with partisanship.when I start to question on your basis you simply admit pr don’t even have any policy. Now you can’t defend your position you now try to make it broadbase. Srry my friend I don’t buy that. You were wrong to say the rural Malay don’t care about education crime and healthcare simply because pr has not even an iota of a policy or stand to offer. Why you can’t admit which is clear is bewildering.
MC,
If there are public money being siphoned off, it is wrong whether done by BN or PR, big organisation or individual teacher.
The principle is we shouldn’t support such person who supports such abuse. Today it may be false MC, tomorrow who knows?
Well if he uses fake MC, by all means to prosecute him. What is the law enforcement waiting for?
MC,
It is good to know that even you as a partisan commentator agrees that the teacher should have disciplinary action imposed upon him if he were to abuse medical leave privileges.
If there is a clear evidence, arrest him and put him to jail. It doesn’t matter which party he belongs to. Also they forget to arrest the doctor or whoever issued out the fake MC.
I mean don’t forget to arrest the doctor or whoever issued out the fake MC.
Prosecute Him……Wait a minute…..Take means that the government must prosecute the UMNO men & women who used the fake MCs…..
#
#SBS,
# It’s fact……Sue me
Looes74,
“Sue me” refers to a private legal action. “Prosecution” refers to action by the state. What do you mean? I can sue you for your stupidity? Trust me, you are not worth the effort.
Don’t show your ignorance! I know your england terrer, but ur law is crap!
they already did… they ‘prosecuted’ him publicly, and mass media highlighting this without getting feedback from him…
at the end, barisan najis won, that’s all matters…
Do u think they will go after him later, not a chance… that’s one reason i think dr wrote this piece…
Hehe
MC
After I read comments from both CSL and LKS with regards to Chinese this and Chinese that on Tenang election, I can’t believe we have such stupid idiot that lead the two major parties in our shore. What do you think?
To me PR failed to win the support of malay in Tenang and lost the by-election. No point harp on who won the chinese support there in Tenang. It’s over!
The focus should be to work hard on the ground from today not just election day. PR should get close to the rural malay/indian/chinese all over the constituency. Be friendly with them. Always talk to the local people there. It would be too late to do the work on election day.
This I have to disagree with you greatly. Everytime one votes for BN they are considered stupid while for PR they are otherwise. In this case because there is flood recurring even on day of polling you think they are stupid ( il be direct) for not seeing things before their eyes. I have a major objection to this line of thinking.
This argument is too simplistic. Life is more complicated than that. There is such a concept in Malay called berjasa. It’s a good value. If people do good to us we reciprocate back. If they do otherwise we also reciprocate accordingly. This value is what we must instill in our children.
Now take in the case of tenang. If I am a Felda settlers I will say that if anyone who improves my standard of living, which provides safety net and good education to my children and which provides a good infrastructure for my well being, I would certainly be grateful for such person who has berjasa and berbakti to me and my family. I will consider this favourably.
Now no one is perfect. Now assuming I blame such party for existence of flood from time immemorial, would I not have to weigh that he also helps me out in other ways.. Now if the only issue I have is flooding but 99% of the issue have been resolved by that one person isn’t it wrong for me not to reciprocate positively. It certainly is wrong. Then don’t you also think it’s stupid if because of one issue I disregard the rest that he has done. So I say it’s wrong to imply they are stupid. And for that matter and on the same score I think it’s wrong to imply kelantanese people are stupid for voting pas since PAS too has not resolved the recurring flood.
So have a bit of understanding. If pr wants to win it’s simple again. Concentrate on being berjasa. Concentrate on delivery. Two richest states are already in their hands. if they do then they can even get thousands of ViCTIM votes for example. But to denigrate others for stupidity simply because you don’t want to deliver smacks the arrogance of warga Malaysia on dr rafick for asking the selangor government to deliver.
Ellese
(1) Please get rid of this habit of saying something that i did not say. Dont put words in my mouth.
(2) This is not the first flood they experience. I am saying despite the floods on the polling day they still voted for BN. Why is that. There is a need to understand such mentality.
(3) Anyone who can understand the reasons behind it, will be able to put forward a strategy.
(4) On flood, I suggest you do a bit of thinking and figure what and who cause flood and why it cant be contained. On TV3 news, one lady said that water is above her house roof.
(5) Please read para 4 of my post 3x before passing any conclusion
Dr,
1. On the issue of flood, I am certain the people don’t blame it on the BN government. What I assume that the people don’t think it is something that the government can resolve and therefore when the risk occurs, it is not the government’s fault.
2. I suppose is that it would be the same with the voters in Kelantan and Kedah.
Alah bisa tegal biasa
Dr Raffick,
# I remember Singapore too has a flash flood in Bedok area during the 2006 GE. PAP immediately hold a press conference together with the opposition team, the Workers’ Party…..One of the member is James Gomez…….
# Points raised. Problems identified. Action taken immediately. Ahem…..Do wonder if such thing can really happen in Malaysia
amno berjasa….are u kidding me……….?
We vote them into the office, they are supposed to do just that….we should expect more, consider billions of ringgit spends… that’s why some people said that voting amno & barisan najis is done by ignorant people…
Hehe.
Mr giggles is baaaack!
u miss me…Hehe.
Don’t lah, i tak layan budak sekolah lah…dangerous..
Hehe

Okay, Ellese, repeat after me…

I can continue to write:
“repeat after me: pakatan B-A-B-I”
kacang bro. I’ve been through this stupid route. Calling names is the easiest coz there’s no need to justify this childish game. I just search the web and jumpa.
I know name calling reflects the best ability of your IQ. You cannot write or articulate. All arguments are infantile. The one thing i must give credit that you can do is to giggle. Truth hurtskan tres. But it’s you.
So I will consider some more whether I want to reply and engage in your “tak guna otak punya” argument. I know it’s easy to reply. But there are more beneficial debate elsewhere which I know you cannot comprehend. Oklah as a concession Il engage you when I feel like it.
I hope it’s fine with you TRES ( yang tak guna otak). Oh yes before I end:
hehehehe………
Dr,
The reality is most of our voters are “stomach voters”.
This is known to both BN and PR. Why did the oil prices issue was vote grabbing during 2008 elections? Because of the high prices, people’s disposal income became reduced. There fore people are angry.
With rubber and palm oil prices are record high, most of the voters have money in their pockets from the income of high prices. In fact MPOB expects the record high palm oil prices will be seen by mid year and most of FELDA settlers will be enjoying extremely high income compared to past years. The impact of the severe winter in US and Europe will also raise rubber prices too. Tyre manufacturer will have to increase natural rubber content in their manufacture of TYRES due to increased winter driving safety issues.
These voters don’t appreciate national issues. As far as they know, it doesnt affect them (rightly or otherwise). If there is a general election when all the commodity prices are high, most of the voters relying on high ommodity prices will not have stomach issues and most likely take a conservative voting pattern.
SBS,
I share the same opinion as you. In fact I wrote before that the current high price of rubber and oil palm will favour BN as Felda settlers are enjoying a good income for the moment. Agree rural folks do not give a damn on national issues-it is bread and butter to them , they are very thankful to whoever can give that to them, no matter how small the delivery is.
I am not surprised with the Chinese voters – They also went for the safety net. Wonder whether putting a DAP candidate would have make a difference and increased Chinese votes for the opposition?
I do not see Doc’s logic on the flood, a natural catastrophe, affecting the results of the by election.It is something that all parties there and then had to endure and the government was quick to provide aid. A plus factor for BN no doubt.
YB Hatta emailed and with YB Mahfuz are still stranded at Kawasan Sekinjang and taking shelter in the kampung. Probably they will get to know the people better and reflect what it takes to win the heart of the simple kampung folks.
AK,
# [How not to affect the result when there are cases where discriminatory helps given to BN supporter areas. Unlike Singapore….PAP brought in the opposition to the round table …….identify,discuss,resolve
# That area is hotly contested area…..Aljunied GRC….
#
# Funny thing is the flood comes & go every single year…..Nothing has been done…..And people are still supporting them
#
# Those docile singaporeans would have written TONS of letters to MPs, Ministers & even to PM if such happen…..Dispute on temple issues nearly cost one PAP junior minister his seat……Shown how mature voters across the causeway
it’s funny right, crude palm oil price incease, felda got moe money…suddenly, gomen give more than a billion for ‘bonus’
When crude oil (petroleum) price increase….gomen rugi, and no more subsidy, are supposed to eat ‘that shit’……
Crooked gomen like this will not last….
Hehe.
Mr Giggles,
The Rakyat expects that when the Government to give to the Rakyat. Irrespective whether there’s money in the coffers.
So WTF is the problem when the Govt give the money belonging to FELDA to FELDA settlers? If the Rakyat is happy, who are we to say it is wrong!
You are just jealous because a spastic can’t be a FELDA settler!
money belong to felda?…Hehe
go to school back lah brader….
Mr Giggles,
Don’t write to expose your ignorance. We all don’t need to know how bodoh you can be.
Read up. FELDA’s accounts are presented and approved by the Parliament every year. From these accounts itself anyone can discern that FELDA’s earnings/profits per years is substantial and that FELDA has not received Federal Government grants/allocations since 1990.
Janganlah malas. Bacalah bro, jangan “giggle” aje.
Please….
