Until last night, UMNO was still trying to unearth something to embarrass PAS calon Abe Uji. UMNO excavation machinery were commissioned, even to Golok and Patani....and they could not pin anything on him. So they continue to paint him as near illiterate with no tertiary education! People, I ask a very simple question. Who would you trust.... educated politicians who collected or paid for a string of MBAs, PHd and Datuk Seriship or Tan Sriship and who continue to lie that they can afford those palatial mansions and luxury wheels. Just look at our dentist.....even his former boss would not believe him and the Whisperer's consortium offered RM5 million and the dentist has not open his mouth yet! You prefer the likes of him or the ordinary guy who sells you nothing but fish.
So what's wrong with being a fishmonger?
A PAST FISHMONGER
A PRESENT FISHMONGER
TWO FUTURE FISHMONGERS
IT IS EASIER FOR A FISHMONGER TO PASS THRU THE EYE OF A NEEDLE
THAN FOR UMNO TO WIN AT MANEK URAI.
Didn't some prince said that there is a place under the Malaysian sun for everyone? That would include fishermen. No?

Just to name a few names like
the genting boss and Honda boss,
Not to mention some computer genius in USA.
(did not complete their colledge , right ?)
So those arrogant and so claimed from prestigious universities pls step aside.(low EQ).
It's not what you own but the way you carry yourself that counts.
Of course the UMNO skeleton hunters began to look for closets. When they could not tag him with any misbehavior UMNO information chief Ahmad Maslan belittled Abe Uji as a peraih ikan. This angered the fishmonger and fish wholesalers fraternity who will stage a protest this coming Friday at Kampong Laloh.
This protest ceremah materialised. It was held at the wet market in Kampung Laloh. 300 gathered to witness the rally at which Tok Guru Aziz, the Kedah Fishmongers & Wholesalers President, and the Kelantan Chapter's President spoke. Duke's (the Whisperer) galllery below gives you a good idea of the proceedings.
SHEIH aka kickdefella was a buddy of mine since I started Blogging. We developed a certain affinity, kinda like soul-mates. His job for Husam uprotted him from KL but we connected often. Picking him as my Friday Guest Blogger was determined when he met me on Nomination Day and asked me to await some expose on the oil royalty. I had an inkling of what it was to be in that brief conversation with Datuk Husam just before Tuesday night's ceremah.
I know the following pictures tell little....so move over to Shieh's blog to get the full rundown of this very important item that may determine the outcome of this Manek Urai by-elections. Of course be prepared for UMNO's 101 excuses and lies.
Sheih's posting is thoroughly researched and you need to do justice by reading this comprehensive pieceHERE.
CLICKING ON THE PICS BELOW WOULD DEFINITELY ENHANCE BETTER VISIBILITY
Whilst both the DPM and Mustapha both admitted that UMNO is still behind PAS in Manek Urai, my friend HANTU LAUT, from across the South China Sea, harbors the possibility of UMNO upsetting PAS. The following is what he posted: (my comments follow in bold red italics)
For two decades Kelantan under PAS which should put equal amount of effort in work as in worship is still lagging behind other states.(Even with storming heaven with worship, money will not drop down from the heavens. Depriving the people of Kelantan of their oil-royalty is not right....even thiefs have displayed more honor!)
UMNO has a good chance of pulling the rug from under the feet if they can put their act together. Being the accused it should adopt defensive campaigning rather than going on the attack.(I totally am with you on UMNO putting their act together. They must come away from past acts very synonymous with the basket of Banana Republics’ devious electioneering activities.Consider these two statements of the DPM: "You (the people of Manek Urai) will not just be adopted,(if we win) because some adopted children are treated like stepchildren but you will be the golden child," he promised….and "I challenge PAS, if they can prove that they have done more(for Islam) than this, then we will surrender."What can you make out of these? Attack or Defense)
UMNO has a good chance of narrowing the majority gap or even wrestle the seat from PAS if they work hard enough.Most of their losses in past by-elections were due to loss of confidence,demoralisation, bad planning and poor strategy.
(UMNO never had to work hard. The EC, postal votes and phantom votes are always available. The EC planned and strategised all along. I agree with you why they lost in the 5 by-elections. Voters are now more aware, thru bloggers, the chicanery employed by BN.)
In term of social and economic terms Kelantan is a far cry from the rest of the nation.Should the Kelantanese continue to wallow in their parochial pride and forsake progress and development? (Sir, that bit about parochial pride and forsake progress and development, is an unkind cut to the quick. PAS quarells amongst themselves, whereas you will never get any UMNO cabinet member to disagree in public with Mr President....they CYA each other religiously. If memory does not fail me Sabah is lumped together with Kelantan and Terenganu as poor cousins, despite Sabah and Terengganu getting their oil royalties.)
With the right strategy and with Najib's popularity on the rise, Manik Urai might pull a surprise. (Hold your horses good sir. Word has it that the Tun is sharpening his cutlasses and reloading his blunderbust. Failing these, C4 and good-old-fashioned buckshots would not be bad alternatives.)
The Perak People's Action Committee, a non-governmental organisation, today handed over a memorandum to the Perak Barisan Nasional government urging it to return democracy to the people through state elections or face negative repercussions.
The committee is giving BN until Aug 8 to seek dissolution of the assembly or a statewide hartal would be held.
"During this day, the people of Perak will not engage in any outside activity. We will not go to work, our children would not go to school and we will show BN that the majority of Perak folk want justice returned to them," said committee coordinator R. Mohanarani.
This is a brave move. It is a laudable move. If Perakians can make this happen, all Perakians working outside PERAK must do likewise and make a trip to Ipoh in solidarity with the Anak2 Perak. We, residing outside Perak feel for you people. We are aware of what is happening. As such it is our fervent hope that you will make this happen.
What I am about to say here is in no way an attempt to belittle this brave effort. First and foremost, Perakians must confront FEAR and BEAT IT. When the bully gets an inkling that you are no more afraid, he holds back. In the runup to GE12 MCA's Chew May Fun blatantly treathened that if the opposition won May 13 could happen. The co-alition ceremah speakers and Bloggers gave her the big end of the stick. The voters of 2008 confronted their fears and of course PR won 5 states and the Federal Capital and Ms Chew lost her seat.
It is tough to overcome fear. Fear is a natural instinct, a self-preservation instinct.But there comes a time when we have to take fear by the horns in order to uphold self-preservation. This is one time.
Are Perakians ready for this. I have my doubts. Just a simple example. On June 4, all those who were arrested in Ipoh were summoned to appear before the magistrate court. I talked to a friend about simple hartal measures, done once a week on an identified day, like not paying parking fees. He did not mark his parking ticket.. But when we got into the car later I saw a marked parking ticket. My friend was advised against this proposed measure by an MP. I rest my case.
But if Perakians pull this through, I will be in Ipoh on 8 August to congratulate as many as I can. I offer you Perakians this video on Hartal in Malaysia 10 years before Merdeka
DR HATTA, MP FOR KUALA KRAI, was good enough to arrange for Bloggers to have a face to face with MU calon, fondly called Abe Uji. So, who is this 50 year old that PAS gave an unprecedented nod as candidate for this Manek Urai by-election.
Mohd Fauzi Abdullah is a successful fishmonger and wholesaler. He did not win this candidacy handsdown. He came thru a very unique PAS Kelantan “structure”. I emphasise PAS Kelantan because no other state PAS bodies employ this process-strategy. You will remember that Kulau Krai Parliamentary and State seats went to UMNO in the 2004 elections. Immediately identified individuals were appointed as “shadow assemblyman” and assigned their constituencies. Fauzi aka Abe Uji went through this process andmust have done superbly well, in his own unassuming ways, to have won the unquestionable and unanimous support of the PAS Kelantan hierarchy.
Abe Uji is very well aware that he has to wear the mantle of the late and iconic Pak Su Weil (Ismail Yacob who did not contest in 2004). For PAS Kelantan to hand over this responsibility speaks volumes for this soft-spoken and not easily flustered Fauzi. He carries a certain calm with him and his answers to our questions came spontaneously, never abrasive, more mildly assertive rather than aggressive.
Of course the UMNO skeleton hunters began to look for closets. When they could not tag him with any misbehavior UMNO information chief Ahmad Maslan belittled Abe Uji as a peraih ikan. This angered the fishmonger and fish wholesalers fraternity who will stage a protest this coming Friday at Kampong Laloh.
Like his legendary predecessor Pak Su Weil (who was illiterate) Abe Uji comes into the fray with no degrees behind his name. When he was asked about this he answered with his trademark smile.
After meeting him for the third time let me volunteer an interpretation of that SMILE. Translated, Abe Uji seems to be saying:
YESTERDAY, I was deluged with furtive requests to pass on the news that Fr OC Lim was in the IJM undergoing surgery.
Father O C Lim, SJ is a tireless campaigner against the ISA. He was heavily criticised for using the pulpit to air his views on policies and practices that went against Human Rights.
He used his holy office to fight the forces who incarcerated the then Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He supported and was present at most of our NO TO ISA candlelight vigils. He was present at most of the court sessions in support of Raja Petra.
JUST GOT THIS MESSAGE: Message just received from IJM at 8:45am. Fr O C Lim is going in for surgery now. He sends his warmest regards and thanks all for their prayers. Please storm heaven with prayers because Father is critically ill.....Blessed Sacrament is now exposed at SFX for prayers.
Let's do that today....storm heaven with prayers for Father O C Lim.
