Muhyiddin digelar sebagai anak paria, penyamun besar dan perosak Umno. Lebih hodoh lagi, Zaharin yang juga Setiausaha Umno Bahagian Bandar Tun Razak mendakwa beliau ada maklumat bahawa Muhyiddin terbabit hendak menjatuhkan Perdana Menteri, Dato' Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak. - Setiausaha Umno Bahagian Bandar Tun Razak, Zaharin Mohd Yasin

Even as the BN/Umno election machinery (the Civil Service, Army, Police, Rela, MACC, Elections Commission, NRD and the BN/Umno subservient and controlled mainstream media) is on overdrive, what is actually happening out of the eyes and ears of ordinary Malaysians is that the ruling BN/Umno Regime is imploding! The power struggle within Umno and the other BN component parties is so great that the Regime will collapse from within.
There is definitely no doubt whatsoever that the power struggle within Umno between PM Najib Razak and his Deputy Muhyiddin Yassin has gone downright dirty. There are many warlords within Umno who are trying earnestly to screw each other up. When the dusts finally settles, Putrajaya will be in the hands of Pakatan Rakyat.
The Umno Bandar Tun Razak Secretary, Zaharin Mohd Yasin who Blogs under the Blog name Sang Kelembai vented the anger and showed the deep divisions and disunity within Umno when he called DPM Muhyiddin Yassin an UGLY SON OF A PARIAH AND A GREAT PIRATE who is out to topple PM Najib Razak. He called Muhydeen a GREAT PIRATE who hides his evil intentions behind the facade of Islam and the Malay race. It is no secret that Muhyiddin is backed by former PM Mahathir Mohamed to oust Najib so that when Muhyiddin moves up as PM, Mahathir's son Mukhriz Mahathir will become DPM as Muhyiddin's role is to keep the PM's chair warm enough for Mahathir Junior to become PM.
The following article from HARAKAH DAILY sums it up:
"DI BAWAH pentadbiran Muhyiddin Yassin, Umno Wilayah (Persekutuan) sudah jadi macam parti mak bapak dia..Dia buat apa dia suka..Kerana dia penyamun besar yang berselindung atas nama nasionalisme Melayu dan Islam..Maka dilantiknya jawatan kanan Umno bahagian bdr tun razak semuanya banduan politik wang."
"Muhyiddin Yassin itu anak paria," tulis Setiausaha Umno Bahagian Bandar Tun Razak, Zaharin Mohd Yasin yang juga bloger Sang Kelembai dalam laman Facebook (FB) beliau.
Beliau menulis lagi, "16 September 2011 bermula konspirasi hendak menjatuhkan PM Najib oleh Muhyiddin Yassin, dgn perlantikan setiausaha dan bendahari bekas banduan politik wang dan seorang yd diadukan melanggar perlembagaan Umno, maka dengan sendiri Parlimen Bandar Tun Razak yg dinamakan sempena bapa PM Najib dgn mudah akan dimenang oleh pembangkang. Maka Muhyiddin Yasin akan minta PM Najib letak jawatan saperti yg pernah dia lakukan kpd Abdullah Hj Ahmad."
Apa yang ditulis Zaharin menunjukkan politiking dalam Umno memang hebat. Sentiasa panas dan bergolak. Selalunya kemelut dalaman Umno tidak diketahui rakyat kerana ia dapat disembunyikan oleh media tali barut Umno. Bila dibongkarkan satu-persatu mereka kata, ianya hanya ibarat 'ribut dalam secawan kopi.'
Ribut dalam Umno kali ini memang hebat dan tidak dapat dibendung. Ia diluahkan dan didedahkan secara terbuka oleh bloger-bloger dan facebookers Umno. Laman sosial FB menjadi tempat mereka melepaskan geram terhadap seteru politik dalam Umno.
Zaharin begitu berani mengambil risiko menghentam dan mengecam Timbalan Presiden Umno yang juga Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin digelar sebagai anak paria, penyamun besar dan perosak Umno. Lebih hodoh lagi, Zaharin yang juga Setiausaha Umno Bahagian Bandar Tun Razak mendakwa beliau ada maklumat bahawa Muhyiddin terbabit hendak menjatuhkan Perdana Menteri, Dato' Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak.
Dalam tulisannya di laman FB, Zaharin berkata, beliau akan mendedahkan hal tersebut tidak lama lagi.
Zaharin melepaskan geramnya kepada Muhyiddin dipercayai kerana terdapat usaha TPM selaku Pengerusi Umno untuk meletakkan 'orangnya' menggantikan beliau sebagai Setiausaha Umno Bahagian.
Malah dalam laman FBnya, Zaharin terus menyerang Muhyiddin kerana melantik orang-orang bermasalah dan yang jelas terbabit dalam politik wang seperti Dato' Mokhtar Samad dan Amil Salleh di bahagian tersebut.
Menulis mengenai Zaharin bukan bermakna menyokong beliau. Sebab Zaharin memang jenis out-spoken. Dalam posting beliau selalu menyerang PAS dan Pakatan Rakyat. Timbalan Presiden PAS, Mohamad Sabu dan Ketua Umum KeADILan, Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim sering menjadi 'ulam' beliau.
Saya ketepikan soal serangan Zaharin terhadap Pakatan Rakyat buat seketika. Yang penting sekarang bukan soal Zaharin sebagai penulis dalam blog atau FB. Beliau ada jawatan. Selaku Setiausaha Umno Bahagian dan Setiausaha BN Bahagian, kuasanya agar besar dan berpengaruh. Beliau juga terbabit sebagai AJK Umno Wilayah Persekutuan.
Oleh kerana itu serangan dan kecaman beliau terhadap TPM memang ada weight yang tersendiri. Sebab apa seorang yang berjawatan sanggup menyerang Timbalan Presiden Umno yang juga Pengerusi Umno negeri? Kata-kata yang dihamburkan pula bukannya kritikan biasa.
Gelaran 'anak paria' terhadap Muhyiddin yang berbangsa Melayu dan beragama Islam adalah sedahsyat-dahsyat gelaran. Jika ada kalangan orang India pun tidak setuju jika ungkapan paria digunakan kepada mereka walaupun ia ada dalam kamus mereka, inikan pula orang Melayu-Islam menerima geralan sedemikian.
'Anak paria' yang dikatakan Zaharin bukan sekadar paria, dia adalah penyamun besar, pembela golongan rasuah dan bermasalah dalam Umno. Lebih dahsyat lagi 'anak paria' itu dituduh merancang hendak menjatuhkan PM kesayangan Zaharin.
Sudah tentu serangan Zaharin terhadap Muhyiddin tidak dapat diterima juak-juak Muhyiddin. Melalui blog Cucu Tok Selampit mereka menyerang Zaharin dan menggesa Umno memecatnya.
Zaharin kata blog tersebut sebagai politikus yang tidak bermaruah. Zaharin dituduh menyerang bekas PM, Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan kemudian mencium tangan Abdullah selepas mendapat habuan yang dikehendaki. Gambar Zaharin memeluk dan mencium tangan Abdullah juga disiarkan mereka.
Bloger Umno yang marah dengan Zaharin mendakwa beliau menjalankan politik 'peras ugut'. Zaharin didakwa memeras ugut ahli politik (termasuk TPM), kemudian mereka diminta 'menghulurkan habuan' jika serangan terhadap mereka hendak dihentikan.
Bloger Umno yang tidak puashati dengan kecaman Zaharin terhadap Muhyiddin, terus menyerang beliau dan mendakwa Zaharin mempunyai kelaku yang amat buruk. Kata mereka Zaharin tidak layak menjadi ahli Umno kerana banyak komen-komennya merosakkan Umno.
Membaca komen-komen yang diposting mereka naik tergelak dibuatnya. Macamlah mereka yang duduk dalam Umno suci macam Malaikat Jibril.
Saya tidak perlu cenderung untuk membela sesiapa dalam Umno dalam perbalahan ini. Mereka hendak tuduh, hendak kata apa pun kepada seteru mereka, itu urusan mereka. Hanya mereka sahaja yang tahu dan faham perangai orang-orang Umno.
Yang jelas, tujuan saya mengutarakan isu ini, lebih kepada untuk menyedarkan rakyat dan mendedahkan kepada rakyat, bahawa Umno itu memang hodoh dan teruk. Perbalahan dalaman mereka memang teruk dna tidak mampu dibaiki lagi.
Persoalan yang harus dijawab oleh Umno hari ini bukan soal siapa Zaharin, atau apa buruk baik kelakunya. Yang tidak boleh dinafikan orang Umno ialah, didakwa wujudnya satu usaha yang didalangi Timbalan Presiden Umno untuk menjatuhkan Presiden Umno. Itu isu yang sebenarnya.
Yang menuduh atau membangkitkan isu ini bukan orang PAS. Bukan juga orang Pakatan Rakyat. Yang menuduh Muhyiddin hendak menjatuhkan Najib adalah dari kalangan Umno sendiri. Apa yang dibuat Muhyiddin, siapa penyokongnya dan bagaimana cara beliau hendak jatuhkan Najib, kita tunggu pendedahan dari orang Umno seterusnya.
Cuma yang hendak kita katakan kepada orang-orang Umno-BN, kami dari Pakatan Rakyat, sama ada yang meneraju negara itu Najib atau Muhyiddin, tidak penting bagi kami. Asalkan sahaja nama mereka Umno-BN, kami bertekad akan tumbangkan mereka pada PRU yang akan datang. Insya Allah.

Malaysia is telling the whole World that we are going to be a developed nation by the year 2020. Inreality we don't even have a 5050 chance of being a developed nation when the rectum of a citizen (i.e Saifool Bukhari can be considered as a crime scene) and in the case of Mat Sabu, being charged with criminal defamation for challenging the official account of the 1950 Bukit Kepong incident at a ceramah in Tasek Gelugor on Aug 21.
Are we supposed to accept whatever is said by the lying, deceiving, diabolical and manipulative BN/Umno Regime as Gospel Truth?
Courtesy of Malaysiakini.
PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu was this morning charged with criminal defamation in a Butterworth Sessions Court for challenging the official account of the 1950 Bukit Kepong incident at a ceramah in Tasek Gelugor on Aug 21.
Mohamad, better known as Mat Sabu, was charged under Section 500 of the Penal Code for defaming the dead police personnel who were killed while defending themselves at the Bukit Kepong police station and their families (principal charge), and the aggrieved parties (alternative charge) who lodged police reports against him.
Judge Ikmal Hishan Mohd Tajuddin fixed Oct 27 for mention of the case and Dec 5-9 for trial.
Bail was set at RM15,000.
Mohammad Hanafiah Zakaria, Ishak Mohd Yusoff and Suhaimi Ibrahim are prosecuting, while Hanipa is Maidin is appearing for Mat Sabu.
Mohammad Hanafiah had initially asked for bail to be fixed at RM50,000 but Hanipa requested the minimum sum of RM15,000, saying he was confident his client would be present in court whenever required.
Asked to comment, Mat Sabu said: "This case is about the interpretation of history and should be resolved through dialogue and debate, not by the court.
"However, since it is a court case, we have to face it."
'Government losing ground among youth'
Mat Sabu said the government was losing ground among the youth and had to deal with him by using physical force and legal means.
On Aug 27, Umno-owned daily Utusan Malaysia published several reports that Mat Sabu had praised the communists who attacked the Bukit Kepong police station in 1950, leaving 26 people dead.
"But history has been covered up. Jins Samsuddin, who made the (Bukit Kepong) film, is an Umno (member). His story of Bukit Kepong (said that) those who attacked the police station were criminals..." Mat Sabu was quoted as saying.
The reports further alleged that the PAS deputy president had treated Mat Indera as a freedom fighter.
Mat Sabu has since claimed that Utusan had grossly distorted his words and has filed a defamation suit against Utusan Malaysia.
His speech also sparked debate between BN and the opposition on the country's independence history and whether Malaya was ever colonised.

On another note, in what appears to be spamming by a rabid mongrel Umno Cybertrooper who has spammed this Blog with false accusations, racism, anti-Semitism and infantile rantings as a result of several articles appearing on this Blog. This Moron claims that this Blog did not publish his infantile rantings which is clearly not true. Maybe, this Moron has been reading too much of Unspinners that his head is also spinning. Read below the rantings of this Coward who dare not reveal His / Her identity but wants to use MarGeeMar to bark from.

While new evidence of phantom voters, illegal immigrants whose names are appearing as Malaysian voters, none has been more damaging than the shocking revelation of the Bangladeshi Prime Minister confirming that Bangladeshi citizens in Malaysia are given Malaysian citizenship if they vote for the ruling Barisan Nasional Regime.
It is also stated that Malaysian PM Najib Razak has promised to legalize the status of all Bangladeshi illegal workers in Malaysia. If this is not an act of TREASON by the BN/Umno Regime against King and country just to hold on to power, then The Scribe just does not know what is TREASON then.
The Scribe calls on His Majesty Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin to take immediate action on the BN/Umno Regime of Najib Razak and the public servants and government agencies that are responsible for this act of high TREASON.
The following is the smoking gun on BN/Umno's High TREASON:
BANGLADESHI Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina (pic above) told that she has been in Malaysia during her 6-day visit to South Korea and Malaysia last year.
At the last leg of her six-day tour, Hasina arrived in Malaysia on May 18 to attend the 66th World Islamic Economic Forum [WIFE] in Kuala Lumpur, the next day where she delivered a special speech. During her stay in Kuala Lumpur, she held bilateral talks with her Malaysian counterpart Mohammed Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak when some long standing issues, including legalizing Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia, were prominently discussed.
Highly placed sources claimed that during the meeting, the Malaysian prime minister assured Hasina of considering the issue of legalizing Bangladeshi workers to his country with utmost sincerity.
Today, Prime Minister’s office has allegedly received a confirmation from some of our citizens those working in several sectors in Malaysia since last year that they were given more than citizenships from Malaysian Government. In fact they now have been given a right to be a voter in upcoming Malaysian’s general election.
Another highly placed source from prime minister’s office has confirmed that Bangladeshi workers may easily conferred Malaysian citizenship with the condition to vote for party that represents the government in power.
Honorable Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina urges people to take this opportunity in order to lower the national poverty in line with government’s initiative and numerous measures to solve all major problems, including power and gas crises.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also urged Malaysian entrepreneurs to invest more in Bangladesh, particularly in labor-intensive industries including ready made garment, textile, light engineering, electronics, agro-based products, ICT, power and infrastructure.

Tiga Line.
Is it true there is a Malay covert society goes around by this name? Is it false, one of its members is a has-been-rock-star from a band that really flies?
Is it true that this group recognised its member through a surreptitious handshake?
Is it false that they are titanic in Northern Region and here in Klang-Valley, they based themselves in Keramat?
Is it inaccurate that Abdullah Ahmad the PM was the chap behind this society, which has a registered front under an almost obscene name under ROS?
Is it fictional that Abdullah Ahmad has officiated few of this almost obscene name society since he became the PM?
Well possibly somebody would like to share his or her sights on this. I rather like to stress at this juncture that I have nix verification of such existence. However, a buddy blogger in recent times posted a webshot of this almost obscene name society’s web on his blog.
A celebrity told me this, once upon a time, a Malay mobster by the name of Lan Cina had butchered a fellow Malaysian in Chow Kit. The police managed to get hold of Lan Cina and detained him. Nevertheless, Lan Cina has sturdy ties with Ayahanda, the under-boss of Tiga Line. Ayahanda called Abdullah Ahmad who at that time yet to be the PM.
Lan Cina was released and case closed. Lan Cina is a member of this Tiga Line.
The same person relates to me that Tiga Line was formed after 13 May 1969 in
Penang (or Kedah). Abdullah Ahmad strongly supported the foundation of this group. The mission is to defend the Malays, against whom I shall not know. I however believed the Malays, like other Malaysian, need protective shields against the current Government.
This maybe one of many absurd way of tarnishing the image of the towering Malay who has the hallucination of changing the Vision 2020 to Mission 2020. Who is known as Bapa K-Ekonomi. Possibly the K stands for Keparat, based on the manner our economy is heading? I shall not know. Go ask JJ.
Nevertheless, is the PM at the frontier of the existent of Tiga Line? Alternatively, perhaps the question should be, is Tiga Line exist?
I expect the PM is not incensed at me for asking this as much as I do not see he is fuming at the Turkish newspaper which he claimed spread lies about ‘his’ yacht. How I wish our PM were Mahathir. We would have united in whacking the Turks and by now, they shall already be on their knees begging for mercy. How I wish.
In addition, how I fancy I know more about Tiga Line.
If I do not post anything within the next 36hrs. Please search for my body-parts. I was not due to be slaughtered with the cows yet.

Muslim hypocrisy could never get any stupider than the claim by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed that Muslims did not carry out the 911 attacks but it was the work of the United States Government. This senile former Muslim leader last year, said if the US could make the 3D science fiction film Avatar, “they can make anything”, adding there was strong evidence that the 9/11 attacks were staged. There seems to be a belief among Muslims that Muslims can do no wrong. Some, like Mahathir actually believe in this. Read more below
The long-serving former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad says Arab Muslims are incapable of carrying out the 9/11 attacks on the United States that killed nearly 3,000 people.
The ageing firebrand, who was in power in Malaysia at the time of the attacks and stepped down in 2003 after 22 years in power, slammed former US president George W. Bush ahead of the 10-year anniversary Sunday of 9/11.
Washington blames the attacks on Al-Qaeda.
“Bush lied about Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction… If they can lie so as to kill Iraqis, Afghans and American soldiers, it is not unthinkable for Bush & Co. to lie about who was responsible for 9/11,” the 86-year-old wrote in his blog Friday.
Listing out reasons in line with a conspiracy theory that the US government was behind the attacks, he wrote the Twin Towers in New York “came down nicely upon themselves”.
“I believe Arab Muslims are angry enough to sacrifice their lives and become suicide bombers. But they or their handlers do not strike me as capable of planning and strategizing such attacks so as to maximize the damage to the enemy,” he said.
Mahathir, a fierce critic of the West, is known for his anti-Jewish and anti-American statements in Muslim-majority Malaysia.
Last year, he said if the US could make the 3D science fiction film Avatar, “they can make anything”, adding there was strong evidence that the 9/11 attacks were staged.
He has also condemned Bush and then-British prime minister Tony Blair as “child killers” and “war criminals”, saying they should be put on trial for the military invasion of Iraq.

Mat Sabu's revelation of the fact that Malaysian Freedom Fighter Mat Indra who led the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) fighters to attack the British controlled police outpost at Bukit Kepong has indeed opened not only a can of worm but also a Pandora's Box. It has clearly showed that Umno, MCA and MIC were actually British lackeys whom betrayed the Rakyat at thew behest of the British. It was the CPM under Chin Peng (Bintang Tiga - Malaya's truly Multiracial freedom fighters) and Malay movements such as PKMM, API, Awas and Hizbul Muslimin that fought and gave their lives for the freedom of this nation an NOT Umno, NCA or MIC that fought for our Independence. They were given special privileges while the rest were branded as terrorist and sent to prison under the ISA.
Why do you think this Academic Whores who call themselves as Professors are now twisting history and saying that Malaysia was never colonized? If Malaysia was never colonized as claimed by these academic morons, than it would be convenient to say that all our freedom fighters who took up arm to free this country were actually waging war on the locals. That's the aim of these academic bastards such as Zainal Kling, Koo Kay Khim, Sivamurugan Pandian et al.
On another note, The Scribe has been informed that Umno has illegally put up their flags at the Teluk Bahang Roundabout (pic above) and along Jalan Hassan Abbas in Teluk Bahang, Penang. Why is this allowed by the MPPP when the roundabout itself is under MPPP? It is a clear case once again of Umno hijacking Merdeka. In short, "Lembu punya susu sapi dapat nama". The following article below courtesy of Malaysiakini says it all.
PAS leaders ridiculed the views of a historian who yesterday claimed that Malaysia had never been colonised, saying such statements were aimed at misleading the rakyat.
Party president Abdul Hadi Awang said such “polemics” was being raised now to “fool the rakyat” and shift public attention on the many problems with the electoral system.
“In effect, people are being fooled so that they won't think about the cases of electoral fraud (recently raised).
“Thinking about issues from 40, 60 years ago, (the people) won't think about issues of today. In fact, those old issues should have been long settled,” said Hadi Awang at a press conference this morning.
He also agreed with the view that such polemics over our Independence history was deliberately being played up to portray that only Umno has fought for the Malays.
“We hope that the Malays do not get fooled by these 60-year-old issues.
“And what of the issue 700 to 800 years ago, when the Portuguese arrived and no one opposed them?
“It is as if the only ones who put up a fight against the colonisers were Umno,” said Hadi.
“I have studied history as well. In those days, there was no Umno and no PAS, but people were already fighting the colonisers,” he added.
Hadi was speaking after launching the PAS forum on their welfare state manifesto at Taman Melewar, Gombak, Kuala Lumpur this morning.
Yesterday, the Sultan Idris Teaching University (UPSI) head of history Zainal Kling claimed that it was untrue that Malaysia had been colonised by the British, who only gave us their “protection”.
He claimed that only Singapore, Malacca and Penang were British colonies.
Umno a 'Hindustani actor'
PAS information chief Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said such academics who are now weighing in on the Mat Indera issue should instead be helping the people understand the episode in history.
He echoed Hadi's sentiments, likening Umno to a “Hindustani film hero who had arrived too late”.
“He only wants to gain publicity and claims that it was he who had defeated the coloniser,” he said.
Further, said Tuan Ibrahim, such revisions has far reaching implications on our 54 years of independence, and would require an entire overhaul of the history syllabus and academia.
Tuan Ibrahim pointed out that even Umno has been fooled into celebrating Merdeka annually over the past half century.
He quipped that if it is true that Malaysia has never been colonised, then the government did not need to celebrate Independence Day on Sept 16 as planned.
In Najib's Merdeka Day message this year the PM had announced that the annual celebration would be held on Malaysia Day instead, owing to the clash with Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
“In the joy of Aidilfitri, I hope we do not forget the struggles of our forefathers in fighting for the country's independence,” the PM had tweeted on Aug 31.
No common sense
Meanwhile some NGOs have also called the professor's claims nonsensical.
“No one with common sense would say that our motherland has never been colonised, when at the time our kings only had limited ceremonial powers over religious and cultural matters, and the British managed all other administrative matters as the real masters,” said president of Teras, Mohd Azmi Abdul Hamid.
Azmi in a joint statement today with Shura president Abdul Ghani Samsudin slammed the National Professors' Council and Zainal for claiming that leftist fighters were not freedom fighters, accusing the professors of distorting historical facts.
“How could this interpretation be accepted, when the British had banned many Malay movements such as PKMM, API, Awas and Hizbul Muslimin as communist movements?
“The idea of labelling hardline Malay movements as communists comes from the British and their sympathisers,” said Azmi.
He pointed out that labels such as 'leftist' were British concoctions, and asked why the present professors were so enamoured with British labels.
“Leftists were considered communists, meaning all movements opposed to the British and not aligned with Umno's approach,” he said.
“This would include the ulama who had taken up arms against the British. They were resisting in the name of Islam. Are they also considered not freedom fighters?
“How dare they group the ulama who fought against the British, like Tok Janggut , Abdur Rahman Limbong, Tok Guru Hussin Dol as communists just because the British had labelled them as insurgents?” he said.
He questioned the basis on which such so-called professors made their claims, and called them to show proof.
He asked if Zainal was caught in a colonial mentality for only accepting the British version of history, by claiming all those who had struggled for independence who were not aligned with Umno as illegitimate.

Revisiting history...And the traitor was UMNO as they sold out all the legitimate freedom fighters to the British, forcing Mat Indera into the jungle. Read here http://malaysiakini.com/news/175128. However, the Malay Rulers themselves are also guilty of selling out this country to the British. Take the story how the British under Captain Francis Light got possession of Penang from the Sultan of Kedah.
This is what Wikipedia has to say about how the British got hold of Penang from Kedah. Originally part of the Malay sultanate of Kedah, Penang was ceded to the British East India Company in 1786 by the Sultan of Kedah, in exchange for military protection from Siamese and Burmese armies who were threatening Kedah. The story here is that Kedah was a Siamese Protectorate just like how Malacca was a Chinese Protectorate. Kedah at that time was not colonized by Siam. In return for Protection, the Sultan of Kedah was suppose to pay Ufti Bunga Mas (Tribute) to the King of Siam. As Siam was busy fighting the Burmese, Kedah conveniently stop sending the annual Tribute. When the Siamese - Burmese War ended, Kedah was requested to continue sending the Tribute. At that time there was a power struggle in Kedah because the Sultan had not chosen a 'anak gahara' or heir whose mother is of a royal bloodline as the Sultan had many wives and children as he like all the other Malay Rulers were polygamists. This led to the Kedah Royal household to revolt 'Derhaka' against the Sultan by enlisting the mercenary Raja Haji from Selangor to topple the Sultan who eventually fled to Kangar. It was at this time Francis Light, who being a shrewed businessman offered to get back the Throne for the Sultan in exchange for Penang. It was the Sultan's greed that made him give Penang to the British on a silver platter. Not a single shot was fired by the British to get Penang.
The Sultan's successor later renegaded his promise to continuing paying the Tribute to the Siamese King. When the Sultan of Kedah was summoned to Bangkok to report to the Siamese King, he refused to do so. The Kedah Sultan thought that the British would defend Kedah if the Siamese attacked. Unbeknownst to the Sultan, Light had acted without the approval of the East India Company when he promised military protection. When the Company failed to aid Kedah when it was attacked by Thai (and it was known as "Koh Mak" while under Siamese rule until 1785.), the Sultan tried to retake the island in 1790. The attempt was unsuccessful, and the Sultan was forced to cede the island to the Company for an honorarium of 6,000 Spanish dollars per annum. This was later increased to 10,000 dollars, with Province Wellesley (Seberang Prai) being added to Penang in 1800. An annual honorarium of 18,800 ringgit continues to be paid by the Penang State Government to the Sultan of Kedah.
Where on Earth can a defeated aggressor get such a handsome compensation? There was no 'tipu muslihat' (deceit) nor 'campur tangan' (intervention) by the British in the colonization of Malaya even though Malaysian history textbooks claim so. It was the sheer greed, treachery and stupidity of the Malay Rulers that handed Penang and the rest of the Malay Peninsular to the British with the British not having to come with guns blazing like the Spaniards, French, Dutch and Portuguese to control the Malay Peninsular. And today, history repeats itself as the BN/Umno Regime is doing the same by giving citizenship's and voting rights to foreigners.
On 11 August 1786, Captain Francis Light, known as the founder of Penang, hoisted the Union Jack thereby taking formal possession of Penang and renamed it Prince of Wales Island (name used until after 1867) in honour of the heir to the British throne. Penang was the first British possession in the Malay States and Southeast Asia.
The location of the island at the opening of the Straits of Malacca attracted the British East India Company to use the island as a natural harbour and anchorage for their trading ships, and as a naval base to counter growing French ambitions in the region. The settlement on the north-eastern tip of the island was named George Town after King George III of the United Kingdom.

BN/Umno foul mouthpiece TV3 just spinned in its 8pm Malay News bulletin that PAS has admitted that Umno had fought for the Malaysia's independence from Britain. What PAS was referring to were individuals like Onn Jaafar and Tunku Abdul Rahman who happen to be Umno leaders. Umno was set up against the spirit of Jus Soli which was what Malayan Union was all about. Malayan Union would have given non Malays equal rights with Malays and would have truly given meaning to what PM Najib Razak is calling today 1 Malaysia.
Actually if you think of it Umno did play a part in gaining independence for Malaysia just like the role played by the Communist Party of Malaya and countless others. However, nowhere does history mention about Umno Baru's role in the independence struggle. The old Umno was de-registered in February 1988. Umno does not exist - it was de-registered long ago. The 'Umno' you see and hear today is really 'Umno Baru', registered to replace the old 'Umno' - an entirely different entity.
The members of Umno Baru are doing things in the guise and under the name of the non-existing Umno. Is the ROS going to de-register Umno Baru for its illegal activities? UMNO BARU WHICH FORMS PART OF THE RULING BARISAN NASIONAL REGIME IS AN ILLEGAL ORGANIZATION!

Everyone in this country is fixated on when the next general election will be. It is probably the most hotly awaited news. Everyone is sure who will win. Be Enders, or so the supporters of BN are called, cannot wait to know the results. Neither can the Pakatanis, or the supporters of the Pakatan Rakyat led by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
If Anwar does trounce Prime Minister Najib Razak's BN as he is widely expected to, the casualties at the coalition that has ruled for 5 decades would be high. There is even talk of mass capital flight and how hundreds of shredding machines have been ordered and put on standby to shred all incriminating documents. Yes, there will be ensuing chaos in the aftermath of GE-13, but that is politics. And politics can be rather dirty.
Now, Pakatanis are adamant come GE-13, it will be De End for the Be End for a full range of reasons. Hopefully, they won't be lulled into a false sense of complacency by a recent poll that showed a sharp 6 percentage point plunge in Najib's popularity. The battle is far from over, in fact it hasn't even begun. So before the DAP, PAS and PKR start to count their chickens before the eggs even hatch (yes, many of the MPs and ADUNs are already congratulating themselves - gross!), they really should spend more time tightening their strategy and machinery which is still far, far from satisfactory.
But for us, normal Malaysians who are not contesting, let us envisage a future without the BN. How would life be like with the Pakatan?
Celebrations on the streets
Surely, there will be mass celebration in the urban cities and towns all over the country. People will surely come out into the streets with genuine smiles and happiness to join in the festivities and cheer over the demise of a stifling regime, which has no one to blame but itself for its overgrown arrogance.
Long-awaited reforms will be implemented as soon as Parliament convenes. Those that can be implemented immediately will be announced in the media. The new Pakatan government will launch a campaign to explain and re-educate the people of their basic rights.
Malaysians will be called on to unite and treat each other as equal citizens and not as strangers from another race. Awkward at first, but Malaysians will shyly accept the fact and join hands to declare that we are all Malaysians irrespective of the colour of our skin.
Gradually, our identification, birth certificates and passports will cease to carry the declaration for race. The religion tag too may be dispensed with in the future, as Malaysians starts to value their sense of new found freedom. The Race Relations Act will be passed to ensure that racism will be an offence under the law.
Racism won't disappear overnight but it will never be officially sanctioned or practised as it is now. Under such a refreshing environment, sooner or later, everyone will pick up the courage to break the ice and embrace each other’s identities. There should be unabashed blossoming of multiracial friendships, which should be encouraged rather than discouraged.
Meritocracy and competition would be gradually restored as Malaysians compete for a better tomorrow with the government formulating strategies to assist the weaker ones. Malaysians will come out of their shells and dare to be different, now that there is no more ‘big brother’ hanging over their shoulders to say "this cannot or that cannot".
Getting rid of all the tools of oppression
A Royal Commission will finally be formed to check and transform the Royal Malaysia Police into a world class, 21st century organisation that is efficient, clean and trustworthy, dedicated to serving the people and the nation with integrity and respect for human rights, while at the same time maintaining total independence.
Another Royal Commission will be formed to ensure that the Malaysian Armed Forces are made totally apolitical and independent in their discharge of duties. They will also be reminded that their duty is to the King and Country and to defend the nation and not to pander to the political big-wigs. No, no, that is certainly not the job-scope of the Malaysian Armed Forces.
The Judiciary will be revamped to reflect total independence and as a check and balance to the Executive and Legislature branches of the Malaysian governmental system.
Meanwhile, the civil service would also see beneficial changes where salaries can rise more commensurately with the market when the unwarranted fats are trimmed. The Pakatan government will implement wide-scale job retraining to ensure enough skilled workers are available for the jobs market. The Cabinet too will see a downsizing with the disposal of unimportant Ministries and Ministerial posts.
The archaic and obsolete Internal Security Act, Official Secrets Act, the Printing Presses and Publications Act, the Sedition Act and the Emergency Ordinance will be abolished.
People will be encouraged to speak up without fear, while the mainstream media currently controlled by the BN would be given total press freedom to publish the unvarnished truth while upholding the journalist etiquette on false and misleading news.
We are all sons and daughters of the Earth
The bumiputra status will not be abolished as feared but the government will see to it that these will be gradually extended to everyone else.
The government will also carry out projects to accord Internet access to the rural inhabitants, in an effort to create a pool of knowledgeable citizens.
In all probability, English will once again be the medium of instruction for Science and Mathematics. Vernacular schools may be barred in favour of National Schools where Malay and English are the teaching medium, and a choice of either Chinese or Tamil as a compulsory third language. Most educationists believe that nationalism starts from young, and separating children at a tender age only leads to unnecessary division.
Governance using the Competency, Accountability and Transparency (CAT) system will be implemented at the Federal level, as well as in all States governed by the Pakatan. This would spell the end of corruption. Cronyism too will disappear as compulsory tendering exercises eliminate the roots of corrupt practises.
Anwar and team will also implement wide-scale job retraining to ensure enough skilled workers for the jobs market. It would also review existing policies and cut down on the unnecessary foreign labour that drains our economic progress and can pose a risk to our safety and security. Factories and plantations will be encouraged to turn to full-automation to address the growing dependence on foreign labour.
The economy will remain as the new government’s biggest headache. To maintain and prop up the economy, the government will have to review the 2011 budget with hefty spending cuts and abolish capital-intensive projects and divert badly-needed funds to critical sectors.
Salaries will increase as a minimum pay scale comes into force, which will benefit a large sector of Malaysians and boost the national economy with bigger spending power. To attract foreign investments the government will increase free trade practises that will benefit the nation in the long run.
At last, the healing process can begin
The healing of the country will begin, as Malaysians look forward to a brighter and more exciting future. Life as we know it will change for the better and will evolve further into a totally different society from what we are now - a comatose and even dying society over-oppressed by 50 years of BN authoritarian rule.
Malaysians must be ready for change and learn to do things differently. To excel, we would need to work harder and catch up, as there would be no more corrupt opportunities for instant riches.
But should BN win, the political, economic and social climate will remain unchanged. Yes, Najib and UMNO will promise the sky and reforms aglore. But we know they won't keep their promises as they have never done so before. Barely a month down the road, Ibrahim Ali and gang will show up and threaten the minority races and split the Malays all over again.
Life would be the same as it has been the past 50 years and everything will be just as it is. Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin goes on to become the next Prime Minister for the next five years. The peace will be disrupted by Perkasa-wannabes each time the UMNO politicos need to distract the nation from another of their hare-brained multi-billion ringgit schemes, for example the two upcoming French-assisted nuclear power plants.
What a difference a general election can make. Really, Malaysians must value their vote and choose wisely.

Every once in a while the government-controlled or government-associated media engages in a public lynching of individuals that dare to challenge the Umno-scripted truth about the political system, religion, the monarchy or just about any subject which may be seen as threatening to Umno’s political and ideological dominance.
The latest case involves Mohamad Sabu and the reason for his lynching relates to a speech he made in Tasek Gelugor on Aug 21 in which the PAS deputy president touched on the Bukit Kepong incident of Feb 23, 1950.
In that incident, armed members of the Malayan Communist Party attacked and killed 25 police personnel and some of their family members. In his speech reported by Utusan Malaysia, Mat Sabu allegedly glorified the MCP by claiming that they were the real heroes for fighting against the British and for leading the country’s struggle for independence.
Following the Utusan report, the New Straits Times had four articles including an entire page by its group managing editor Zainul Arifin attacking Mohamad Sabu for allegedly “rewriting history for political gain” (NST, Aug 28).
This has since been followed by Utusan’s Sunday edition Mingguan Malaysia devoting extraordinary coverage (spreading over six pages) to the excoriation of Mat Sabu.
Mat Sabu even featured in the Prime Minister’s Aidilfitri-cum-Merdeka anniversary speech where Najib Abdul Razak sanctimoniously lambasted anyone that dared to discredit the sacrifices of the country’s forefathers and security forces in the path to independence.
Missing from the historical narrative
At the end of his article, the NST’s chief Zainul – who surely must be aware that most people in our country know fully that not only history but also media editorials and pieces such as his have been written for political gain – makes the plea for history “to be debated by historians, and not politicians”.
Whilst he makes the valid point that “a relooking at history is important …. [and that] some say it is biased and a tool of political dominance”, Zainul will know too that those looking for a debate or relook will not find it in the pages of his newspaper.
So what is the verdict of professional historians on the communist insurgency and its contribution to the movement for independence from which a real debate and the historical truth can have its starting point?
There is not enough space in this piece to reproduce the various analysis but readers interested in the MCP and its role in the struggle for independence may want to consult the following:
C.C. Chin and Karl Hack, Dialogues with Chin Peng: New Light on the Malayan Communist Party
Anthony Short, The Communist Insurrection in Malaya, 1948-1960
Richard Clutterbuck, The long long war: the emergency in Malaya 1948-1960
Richard Stubbs, Hearts and minds in guerrilla warfare: the Malayan emergency, 1948-1960
Especially useful is the latest scholarly assessment of the MCP’s role and place in Malayan history which is found in the journal ‘Kajian Malaysia’ (Journal of Malaysian Studies), Vol. 27, No. 1 & 2, 2009. It is available online at http://web.usm.my/km/vol27(1&2)2009.html
In the volume, Richard Mason has an article ‘Revisiting 1948 Insurgencies and the Cold War in Southeast Asia’ that provides an overview on the almost simultaneous revolt against colonial regimes in Malaya, Indonesia and Indochina. Also three writers, C.C. Chin, Leon Comber and Abdul Rahman Hj. Ismail, provide new insights into the MCP and the tumultuous events and nationalist stirrings of the period.
What is noticeable about the NST media coverage is not only the way the paper has ignored the real scholars that have undertaken the studies of the MCP but also its reliance on the preferred modus operandi to trot out what appear to be court academicians in the guise of Malaysian academic firepower to provide intellectual justification for their public lynching exercise.
One such academician, Prof. Emeritus Khoo Kay Kim (pic above) – who is prominently featured in the NST and other government controlled media – should know better.
Mat Sabu’s intellectual honesty
Prof. Khoo’s field of specialization is not the Malayan Communist Party or Chin Peng or recent Malayan political history.
Although his PhD was on the topic ‘The Beginnings of Political Extremism in Malaya 1915-1935’, it does not cover the period of the 1940s and 1950s when the struggle for independence took place in earnest and during which time the MCP underwent various metamorphosis and change in ideological direction in its objective to free Malaya from the colonial yoke of the British.
Prof. Khoo could have waited for clarification or explanation from Mat Sabu, and for any justification the latter may have provided for his views. That would have been the correct academic etiquette.
Or if Prof. Khoo was in haste, he could at least have relied on scholars that have done more authoritative work on the MCP and through their studies provided an academic and more truthful historical context and explanation for the Bukit Kepong incident and the communist fighters.
Instead he was reported to have stated that “Mohamad should not lie to the people when the rakyat today was easily led astray and misinformed” (NST, p.10). Not only has he dismissed Mat Sabu’s account without checking with the victim of the public lynching but he has diverted the issue away from Mat Sabu’s focus on who were Malaya’s freedom fighters to the international origins and orientation of the Malayan Communist Party in the 1920s and 30s!
Readers can view Mat Sabu’s talk at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ItcuiUCw4qY
http://www.ukm.my/knam/data/Peristiwa_Bukit_Kepong.pdf
Prof. Khoo is no academic innocent or virgin when it comes to press coverage. He must know that the NST has its knives out for Mat Sabu and other opposition or civil society leaders that stand in the way of UMNO’s agenda. He must know or at least he should know that there would be no fair trial and that the pursuit of academic facts and intellectual truth is the furthest away from being a concern or priority of the NST.
Mat Sabu is feared by Umno and its mouthpieces, the NST and Utusan for good reason. He is PAS’s thinking, progressive and committed face – not simply a face but someone who possesses not only the intellectual honesty to raise uncomfortable questions about how our history is being written but also is prepared to take a contrary position to defend his take on historical truth.
In doing so, Mat Sabu puts to shame the academic hangers-on that are quick to bray when called upon by the government.
Admin Note:
There's also another 'Academic Whore' in Sivamurugan Pandian of USM who never fails to nauseate us with his intellectual diarrhea together with the half baked Kampung Professors from the local Universities who would have great difficulty in getting a Band 5 in the IELTS Academic Paper. These morons always appear without fail on TV3 Buletin Utama and RTM Malay news to spew their crap about Pakatan Rakyat while apple polishing BN/Umno and it's tainted leaders on Prime Time News.

French lawyers investigating if naval arms giant DCN had paid hundreds of millions in kickbacks and commissions to top Malaysian officials including Prime Minister Najib Razak will be giving the latest update on the case in London towards the end of September.
It is not clear if William Bourdon, who was deported from Malaysia in late July, will be part of the group attending the fundraiser organised by Malaysian NGO Suaram or Voice of Malaysia, but according to director Cynthia Gabriel, another well-known French lawyer Joseph Breham will be in London.
Breham is expected to take on where Bourdon was forced to stop due to his deporation. Breham may reveal further damaging details uncovered during investigations into the case. Malaysians who have been following the complex trail expect the Suaram lawyers to confirm that Najib was the mystery 'third party' who flew to Macau and Hong Kong with close friend Razak Baginda and the murdered Altantuya Shaariibuu.
Such a revelation would literally bring the political sky crashing down on an embattled Najib, whose approval rating plunged 6 percentage points to 59 percent from three months ago.
"The ratings plunge is serious and significant enough for UMNO and BN to take note of and take swift action. As government leaders, they should investigate what caused this plunge, why are the people unhappy. This is not something that they should do only for the sake of their own political well-being, but also as responsible leaders tasked by voters to manage the country," Ramon Navaratnam, past president of Transparency International Malaysia, told Malaysia Chronicle.
Political sky may come crashing down on Najib
Indeed, Najib's rivals in the UMNO ruling party are chafing at the bit to take him down. Any confirmation that he had known Altantuya would give them the perfect excuse to threaten a no-confidence vote against him as he had previously taken a solemn oath on the Quran that he never knew her.
The 28-year-old beauty was alleged to have been both Baginda and Najib's mistress. She was killed in Malaysia in 2006, and two of Najib's former bodyguards have been senteneced to hang for her death, although neither men had any motive to do so. Their trial has been described by US officials in diplomatic notes leaked on WikiLeaks as being clearly lopsided. Malaysians themselves believe the bodyguards were ordered to kill her to stop her from blowing the whistle on the commissions paid by DCN.
Both Bourdon and Breham are renowned French human rights lawyers, appointed by Suaram to probe if Malaysian taxpayers had been unfairly and excessively charged by DCN. In the course of their probe, they had to check on Baginda's dealings with DCN and it is believed they may have traced air-tickets or some form of documentation showing the travel undertaken by Altantuya, Baginda and the mystery third man to close the deal with DCN.
Things have become too murky in Malaysia
Bourdon, who was unceremoniously deported from Kuala Lumpur in late July, had been slated to talk on the matter at the second-leg of the Malaysian fundraiser. His deportation raised eyebrows, with the news travelling far and wide.
“This is a government – even though they have spent millions on Public Relations firms and management consultants – that keeps shooting itself in the foot. The deportation of the French lawyer is only the latest example. Now, for the first time, all the juicy details of that scandal – including the model who was murdered by the PM’s bodyguards – have appeared in the Washington Post. It just adds to the confusion among people here – what kind of a country is Malaysia, anyhow? And is Najib really the person that he has portrayed himself to be?” John Malott, a former US ambassador, had told Malaysia Chronicle.
The Malaysian defense ministry had purchased two Scorpene and one Agosta submarines in 2002. Najib, then the defense minister, had pushed for the deal which had met public opposition due to its high costs and the unsuitability of the ships. Till now, it is suspected that the Malaysian government is still holding back the full cost of the deal, in particular the long-term maintenance charges.
The most disputed 'cost' comes from a RM570 million support services side-deal signed with Perimekar, a firm with links to Baginda, who also acted as a negotiator in the Malaysian purchase.
Rosmah's presence and Suaram's appeal for funds
Newly-released US cables or diplomatic notes have also thrown doubt on long-standing allegations that Najib's wife, Rosmah Mansor, had been present at the scene of the murder with two of her aides-de-camp. However, the cables do not clear her from any involvement but say the Malaysian public "does not have confidence in the integrity of the Altantuya murder investigation.”
It is illegal in France to pay commissions to secure a contract and this is why Suaram has initiated their lawsuit against DCN in Paris, after failing to get the Malaysian authorities and anti-corruption agency to launch a probe.
So far, Suaram has organised three fundraisers to pay the legal fees and the London dinner will be the fourth. However, according to Cynthia, the NGO is still far behind its target and requires more funds to push the French lawsuit with greater speed.
