Yesterday at 5.30pm YB WEE CHOO KEONG smsed me that he sent me an email.I produce here in toto the contents of his email.
I met Wee some 7 years ago when we studied under the same qigong master. Our paths did not cross until he won the case against MBf recently and he came to announce this to his close friends Rocky and Sam at the NPC. We met regularly thence , especially after his Press Conference when he announced that he was representing Thirunma, Lingam's brother at the Royal Commission of Inquiry. It is now common knowledge that he was not the RCI chief's favorite. Some said that Hidar's body language every time Wee stood up to make a point was akin to Haidar sitting on a pile of durians or had durians tucked under his armpits. Most disconcerting to put it mildly. Around this time he had not decided to offer himself for the GE yet or maybe he had. Before he announced his candidacy he was adamant that he would not stand anywhere else but in Bukit Bintang, the constituency that was hijacked by the former Chief Justice whats-his-name and given to a DAP secondhand car dealer. But that would mean a 3 cornered fight that most of us were against. But good sense prevailed and Wee stood on a PKR ticket in Wangsa Maju. He immediately started a Blog (here)on 22 February, which now already boasts 52,148 visitor-hits at last check..THE REST IS NOW HISTORY. If there is anybody who will crusade for his constituency, it will be this character with pit-bull tenacity and Kelantanese charm. Parliament will no more be the old circus with BN trapeze happily monkeying above heavy-duty safety nets. It will be battle royale, you just wait. This will be an eye-ball to eyeball and bullet for bullet affair. Definitely no holds barred. This is how he will shoot off, primed.

Just got back from my meeting with several Wangsa Maju residents and I really am pleased to have read your blog before I retire.
Thank you so much for posting the Parliamentary Questions in your esteemed blog. It is hoped that it will make the government of the day to be more accountable. Next time, no YB please. Just Wee will be perfectly alright.
Of course, thank you also for your kind words. Can I have a double single malt this Friday at NPC , please?
Thank you and good night.

San 8.14....this is a perforated cabinet with DAP flavor...bland and no zing and zap, Try again, and this time let your head rule your heart and not vice versa.Pekatan Rakyat is a serious matter.
The wang eshan amount is wrong.
It is estimated that annual wang ehsan was RM800 million A YEAR. But in view of the hike of oil price, the recent years wang ehsan could well exceed RM 1 billion A YEAR.
So since inception in 1999, the total wang ehsan could be much more, guesstimate, maybe RM5 billion to RM10 billion
"7th May 2008
MP for Wangsa Maju requests the Minister of Finance to state how Terengganu’s Wang Ehsan totaling over RM1.2 billion has been spent since its inception, up to April 8th 2008,"
that will be too much for the gomen to answer. surely people will become AMOK . A bew Batman is born in Wangsa Maju , cheers to the Bright Knight!
tks for the post zorro. this is an eye opener... all this while the opposition have be fighting for the rakyat asking pertinent questions in the parliament but the problem is the rakyat IS NOT AWARE becos the MSM just dont publish!
any idea whether there will be a PR newspaper soon?

Thank you so much for the information on Wang Ehsan. I will take note of it and will use it during the parliamentary debate.
Once again thank you and I would like to say thank to other contributors.
Wee Choo Keong
very interesting. parliament will definitely be merrier
again I will state this
The day they answer the truth to all these questions, BOTH zorro and I will dance naked in Merdeka Square.
meanwhile the answers will be
blank blank blank
and wtf does it matter to you?
amno will tell you
"WE ARE STILL THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE so go f**k a duck"
Dear Sir,
Please convey my 'SYABAS' to Wee (YB title dropped as requested and with respect).
Finally, we are getting somewhere.
And, let us not accept 'NO' for an answer and certainly not 'we are looking into the matter' answers by those who are claiming to be leading, caring and protecting this nation.
It is time everyone got the message: ACCOUNTABILITY s eternal.
And on that score, how can we also circulate these poignant queries widely so that large segments of the population get the drift of things to come?
Perhaps, all party organs (publications by the various parties) can carry these questions in their papers.
The MP for Wangsa Maju should also ask why the $60 million subsidy is paid to Air Asia upfront whilst for MAS the subsidy is paid end of year.
The follow up question;
Why for MAS the maximun subsidy they have received for any year after 30 years operating rural services was $14 mill and Air Asia got $60 mill even before they start?
Follow up question;
Why are you so generous to a private company and treat badly a Goverment owned CO
Zorro & Wee Bro,
I 'tapet' both of you for the courage.Wee,keep up your good work,we'll continue to support PR and you.
Bro Zorro,any plan to run for Zul's MP post?let me know,i'll send all my 'comandos' help you...cheeers
