Blog Is Up : Part III

Alrite. Another widget updated today. Stat counter. Actually I had one before this, but decided to use a new one since the old one was used here and there. And not just that, you can also view the stats. Hehe. Alrite that's for now.

The Power Of Influence

To be honest, how they did this was amazing. All the main stream media wrote about the Ijok by-election which at current time has the largest voters' turn out, about 80%. I am really amazed at how they come up with such number. You guys just ought to see the numbers from 8 a.m right till the election booths closed.

KUALA SELANGOR, April 28 (Bernama) -- About 14 per cent of the 12,272 voters in the Ijok state by-election in Selangor have cast their ballots as at 10am, two hours after polling centres opened Saturday.

Seriously, you guys (the BNs) perhaps have the very great mouth, with astounding skills of influencing peoples. Getting from 20 to 80% isn't an easy job, isn't it Joe ? I would really like to ask how you guys did it ? Hey, I wanna learn those ways too. You can see anywhere there's no such high voters turn out, except in our very own Malaysia, where the impossible is always possible, or what I was told as the Bolehland.

Yes, perhaps you guys might say “Hey, PKR was there too. They also must have their power of influence over people”. Well, firstly all main stream medias said that Anwar was no longer vital in the politic of Malaysia. Second, all main stream medias also said that Khalid Ibrahim forgot about how he bought Guthrie, with the help of BN and so on. Third, there is no way PKR or anyone else can do anything when the FRU is there. You will surely get a jolt of fright, at least.

So, I must say, you guys were fantastic. GL HF in the next election, and let’s see if not only the voters turn out is this high, but the timeflow is also the same. ;)

Zainuddin Questions Motives Of Foreign Media

KUALA SELANGOR, April 26 (Bernama) -- Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin today questioned the motives of some foreign media organisations which were giving wide coverage and publicity to an individual from a political party that had no credibility among Malaysians.

"We cannot understand the reasons. Do not underestimate the intelligence of Malaysians. The party in power in Parliament now was elected through the democratic process," he said when launching a Smart Community centre in Ijok near here today.

Under the concept of democracy, he said priority should be given to people who had majority support and in the case of the opposition it should be for its leader, namely Lim Kit Siang of the DAP.

"We are seeing a concerted effort to interfere in the internal affairs of Malaysia," he said.

Zainuddin said the English media organisations, based in West Asia, Britain and United States were giving undue attention and coverage to this "loser".

"They have an agenda to cause political instability in Malaysia," he said.

He also said that it was unfortunate that some of our own media people were joining the bandwagon in the guise of freedom of speech without understanding that democracy in Malaysia cannot be equated to that in the West.

"Why should we get outsiders to approve what we are doing. This is like saying if the West gives its stamp of approval, then it is right," he said.

At the same function, Zainuddin also said that he regretted the actions of the opposition for making wild allegations about the police when campaigning in the run-up to the Ijok by-election on Saturday.

He said that this was not good and that the force followed procedures when taking any action, and as such, opposition members should not have shielded a suspected criminal when the police wanted to arrest him in Ijok recently.

Zainuddin added that all parties should be aware that police's presence during elections or by-elections was in everyone's interest and that the opposition making baseless allegations about it was not justified.

Me : Who is the loser actually? Is he really a loser? How come, all the media are saying the same things? How come, all the blogs are saying the opposite?

Firstly, Mr Zainuddin perhaps should be a little clear about the political procedures in Malaysia. Unlike United States Of America, or England, the opposition here does not stand as one formally, but instead are made up of chunks of parties, which rally against the National Front. The National Front, might be made of different parties, which are united under one roof, named National Front. The Opposition, however, if I am correct, only have PKR and PAS as the Opposition Front, where as DAP is still a stand-alone party, which regularly make diplomatic contacts with PKR.

Secondly, human always have something called a tounge, which can be twisted. Through that, people lied. This is the reason they seeked him. Imagine if all the main stream medias is calling him a loser, one would say "Hey, doesn't it sound wrong, somewhere? Someone must have say the opposite thing". Yet, no main stream media did. Except for the blogs of course.

A person who does not have any credibility in the eyes of the commons, would surely have been left out alone when he is giving out his speech. Yet, he is not. Why is that, Mr Zainuddin. How do you justify him as having no credibility in the eyes of the commons, the eyes of Malaysians? By saying that he's a homo? Well, you might also want to consider that such charges against him was dropped.

Actions not justified, really? Then what about the incident which could cause blindness to a photographer named Paul Choo, or the assault on Dr. Lo' Lo when she was trying to give out medicines and treatments to those who needed it. Or even better, the list of voters showed in Malaysia Today. Are not they justified actions ?

Another thing, under the concept of democracy, anyone can be asked for opinions. That's what I see, as long as he is saying the truth.
