The Ground Zero Gang has created history. You are part of the new dawn. We thank you all for the selfless work you have done, and done for Malaysia the motherland and its oppressed people. Who needs BN leaflets when we have the Ground Zero Gang? Huh! Your courage and fatigue represents the spirit of this nation and thank you once again.

PR bloggers are bloggers
BN bloggers are goblogs- now you know the difference.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Photo of the usual suspects.

The Barisan Rakyat Blogger Team at Permatang Pauh.

Who shall now be anointed “New Media Dream Team”.

*Aaah.. guyz, you people got manager or not? Who knows maybe some political party wants to appoint the “Dream Team” for public relation job. If BN component, we charge triple rate and payable in advance becoz scared no pay like UMNO mah. Call me soon OK?*

P.S. Copy & paste comes in handy sometimes when you have to repeat a comment.

drive safe and take care and get your sleeping partner to drive with both hands!

I thank you all sincerely for your coverage. Whilst, at times, it was rather trying to load any one particular site due to the high volume of traffic, I was glad there was so many alternate sources of valid news.


You have done Malaysia, and her citizens a great service, and I must again thank you.



P.S. I suppose in the current euphoric mood, you might not realize this, but you made a typo on RPK as PKR.

Khun Pana aka johanssm said...

PKR ? or he is RPK ( pete )

Uncle zorro is tired already , just like all of us who stayed late to get some news . As the "news" on tv played down everything.
Thank you to all of you .
Anwar WON with bigger majority and this makes all your efforts more meaningful.
Thank you to everybody.

gram.kong said...

zorro,

Although I am not a great fan of Anwar, he certainly deserves my admiration and respect.

Even more deserving are you guys who believe in a cause and served tirelessly to achieve what you all strongly believe in.As Franklin Roosevelt have said " The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today".

Please accept my heartiest congratulations for the fantastic job.

What will they do next?
This is what Pandikar Amin said, as reported in The Star today:
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/8/26/parliament
/22169935&sec=parliament
"I do not see any urgency for me to fix a quick date. For all you
know, the newly elected MP may want to go for a holiday first,
or even for an umrah before coming to the Dewan Rakyat," he
said yesterday.

a`uzhoo billah!

This isn't a BN/UMNO candidate, what Umrah what holiday is it the same -
Like the late Dt. Mazlan visiting Umrah while soliciting the aid and giving thanks to deviants under the Devil's charm.
These vagrants in UMNO believe performing Umrah with other peoples money and loads of ill deed knowingly and deliberately conjured is the way all Muslims behave.
Well I have news for the Monafik; DSAI won fair and square therefore his first calling is to be present in the Dawan ASAP.
PKR responsibility is to the people which is meaningful and genuine change.
GOD will be pleased, trust me.

Go to hell! Zoo Keeper, Open the doors of the Dewan Encik Pandikar Amin and stop using phony excuses. You Shameless monafik.

Stop insulting our nation's intelligence and institutions. Let us urge our KING to step in now. Swear DSAI in at the His Majesty's Royal residence its enough.

The Barisan Bloggers
A big salutation for the write ups and pictures
Toiling day and night in the raining spell
Just to give us the news
Right on the door steps

Braving the crowds
Sometimes hostile; sometimes gentle breeze
Making it all worthwhile
Writing to spread the messages
Let no MSM try to do otherwise

With notebooks and contacts
Disseminating news and reports
The Barisan Bloggers feverishly write
Into the wee hours of the morning
Just people like me
Get the news quickly

The Barisan Bloggers
The people wake up for you
Let the light always shines
In pursuit of equality, harmony and freedom
Once again I salute you all!

You have just given Pete's initials (Raja Petra)as PKR in the photo.

Doe this means he is now synonymous with the party ?

Hope that you will comment on that.

A Sinking “Titanic” (BN) in Malaysia? (The show has just begun!)

Malaysia’s Titanic (BN) was deemed unsinkable when it was first launched. Even when it hit an iceberg on 8 March 2008, it was so hard to accept that the ship will sink. When all efforts to save the ship from sinking was finally abandoned, the Captain (DSAB) just stood silently awaiting the fate as a forlorn man. He was hoping the Carpentia or some other nearby ships will come in time to save the passengers. It was sad to see the Captain firing off some distress flares to alert the Carpentier, but the Carpentier’s Captain (DSNTR) was just not convinced that the Titanic was in distress.

In between is a love story of Leonardo DiCaprio (DSAI) and Kate Winslet (Azizah). Azizah refused to abandon her love, even though many a times, events show she should just save herself. She held on to hopes, hoping against hope that she and her love can pull thru and both will survive this tragedy. Both suffered mentally and emotionally and in the end, it was Azizah left to tell the tale of a great man who sacrificed himself to save her.

As for the crew of the Titanic (Little Napoleons) and their friends who are rich and powerful corporate figures, who helped run the ship, did you see the desperation when they found out that the ship is really sinking. Most of them scramble to save their lives and abandon ship and some, with loads of money found they can’t buy anything they wanted, even a place on a lifeboat to save their lives (TDM migration). But not all, for there was a few brave Napoleons who tried to show they are committed to the name of Titanic (BN) and the show continues.

There was an old couple who just lay in bed waiting for the ship to sink (MIC & PPP) abandoned by the young and too old to move around anymore. There were also musicians still playing the ship’s songs (MCA, PBB, LDP, PBRS, PRS, SAPP, SPDP, SUPP, UPKO) and died like true musicians dedicated to their role of love for music. There were also some crew (GERAKAN) still working to plug the leaks at the bottom of the ship until they themselves died thinking they were heroes not knowing the ship cannot be saved just by plugging some holes.

Do you know who was the director of Titanic (BN) show? James Cameron (TDM).

Did you know this show was shown around the world?

Did you know Malaysia has some of the best actors and actresses and supporting casts?

Anyway, it was just a movie, for the real show has only just begun!

Good lesson for the BN establishment.
This will forever keep them out of Permatang Pauh for good and sent them packing with their 'tails between their legs'.
All I can say is Yahoo, Bravo, Hurray! Happy, happy, no more stress.

Many thanks for the update guys!!!I'd posted the same at Haris's website. And a small correction as I had mentioned Lilian in my comment block but the an old friend I was refering to was Queenie, an old classmate and neighbour from Edgecumbe Lane/Road.

Guys, Malaysia Today has been banned. Apparently, articles about Rosmah, Najib, Shafee and Eswaren were too much for them to take. Site is still available on this address, don't know for how long:
mt.harapanmalaysia.com/2008

Anonymous said...

Controversial online portal Malaysia Today had its access blocked by the country’s largest internet service provider (ISP) TMnet.

Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chief operating officer Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi confirmed that the block was ordered by the commission.

"It is being blocked because we found that some of the comments on the website were insensitive, bordering on incitement," he told Malaysiakini.

The curb however does not appear to be enforced by other ISPs and users are able to access Malaysia Today.

As at 4pm, a check by Malaysiakini showed users can still access Malaysia Today through three other major ISPs - Jaring, Maxis and Time. However, MCMC said that all ISPs have been told to block the errant website.

This is believed to be the first time the government-linked telecommunications giant has imposed such curbs against a non-pornographic website, posing questions as to whether the government is reneging on its no-Internet censorship pledge.

Under the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Malaysia 10 Point Bill of Guarantees, the Malaysian government promises to ensure no internet censorship.

The domain name - http://www.malaysia-today.net - has been unaccessible to TMnet subscribers since yesterday evening as a result of the blockage - known technically as 'DNS blackhole list'.

TMnet subscribers however can still access the website by typing in Malaysia Today's IP address or an alternative web address in their web browsers.

artic turban said...

BERNARD lets teach TM NET A LESSON IN MANNERS, If the block MT, than lets remind tm net who is actually their boss, BOYCOTT TM NET, WHY SUPPORT AND GIVE MONEY TO A CORPORATION WHICH SABOTAGES MALAYSIANS. boycott these morons who take their subscribers for granted and treat them like subservient slaves.

artic turban said...

bernard got this from a comment in harris's blog, a way how to access mt,
TMNet blocked Malaysia-today.net. They have become politicians rather than a business.

For those connected to TM and/or Celcom 2 ways to overcome their blocks :

a. TM uses a simple IP block. To access http://www.malaysia-today.net
change the DNS lookup to OpenDNS.

Those using XP :

* click Start -> Connect To
* Right Click network connection you are using.
* Select Properties
* Click on Network Tab
* Highlight “Internet Protocol”
* Click on Properties at bottom right
* Click “Use the Following DNS server addresses

Preferred DNS Server : 208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS server : 208.67.220.220

Click OK all the way. close connection and start again. If you
type http://www.malaysia-today.net you will arrive at the site.

b. change URL to

mt.harapanmalaysia.com/2008

I hope TMNet don’t block OpenDNS. TMNet’s own DNS server sucks.

Doc said...

Bernard & gang,
kudos to the whole team who worked continuesly to keep the people well inform of the ‘real’ happenings at ground zero…for free. Maybe next time we should get sponsors. Good job guys. Catch up for some chilled ones sometime? Do let me know. Would like to hear the parts that were edited from the postings.

I hope you (and your fellow compatriots) take a good day's rest before getting back to work, cause else we won't be getting accurate news at all... Could you please find out what's happened to the MP and his two sons who got arrested for some bizarre reason (and i think, put into hospital after being beaten up by the police?)

Dear Zorro & team,

My sincere gratitude for assisting us, people of Penang/ P.Pauh, in our grand victory. We have proved to the world that BN/ UMNO are hopeless and useless. It was a pleasure to meet all of you, great men of steel.

Let me know the next time you're in Penang and we'll meet up with tea or seafood again.

God Bless.

Hi
From Malaysiakini’s 5.30 posting, it says that “Malaysia Today blocked! Order from MCMC” except via Jaring.
Site is accessible via IP address http://202.75.62.114/2008/ and web address http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com/2008/

Hope this helps. Regards

artic turban said...

BERNAD, hope you have recovered from the hangover, I realised and noticed something interesting, which a lot of us may have over-looked, the sucesses OF DSAI in the PP bi-election was not only based on 'RELEVANT ISSUES' but also the great oratery skill of DSAI, RPK, Malik Imtiaz & HARRIS also have it. PERMATANG PAUH was also won due to the "gift of the gap"
g krisnan said this in his article,
"perhaps most telling for me, was a stark difference in the calibre of discourse I experienced from listening to Najib and Anwar. If the way the two ‘prime ministers-in- waiting’ marshalled their respective party’s campaign was any indication of leadership ability, this is a ‘no brainer’ for me. "

http://imagineequality.blogspot.com/2008/08/permatang-pauh-afterword.html

I find his words resounding with a loud thunderclap,
"calibre of discourse", this term speaks volumes, of the calibre of character, articulate, believebility, sincerity, reputation and credibility.
To put it in a nutshell, najib is a lousy orater, stiff, no credibility and not convincing, whereas on the other hand you have off the cuff, DS ANWAR IBRAHIM, He is an orater of great skill, without referring to notes, ability to sense the pulse of his audience and become "one" with the crowd. He reminds me of other great oraters from the past, ORATERS WHO COULD GIVE GREAT AND CONVINCING SPEECHES, "Character", "GIANTS",
"THE WOW FACTOR","VERY STRONG PERSONALITIES"
From ASIA the greats that can be considered would be MARCOS, SUHARTO, MAHATHIR, TUNKU, LEE KUAN YEW, KING BHUMIPOL OF THAILAND and ANWAR IBRAHIM. These are people both past and present who could/ CAN make you hair stand on end.
Other great personalities with this skill both famous and infamous would include FIDEL CASTRO, HITLER, BENITO MUSSOLINI, WINSTON CHURCHIL, F.D. Roosevelt, STALIN, LENIN, PATTON, MAC ATHUR, ROMMEL, DE GAULLLE, MALCOM X, GADAFFI, MAHATMA GANDHI, MARTIN LUTHER KING, "EICH BEIN BERLINER"- J.F.KENNEDY. These great oraters , to put it in lame man terms, had "the gift of the gap", this is instincitive either you have it or Don't, some of these people could be so convincing, they sent millions to their deaths.

Basically what I am trying to say, ANWAR IBRAHIM "CAN TALK A BIRD FROM A TREE AND COME FEED FROM HIS HAND", but he does walk to talk.
But on the other-hand Najib or for that matter K.J., Badawi and other cabinet members maybe with the exception of maybe rafidah (have heard her speak in dubai, admittedly she is good), I would put them as very lame and soft, average at best.
Don't believe me go watch you tube and draw your own conclusion, compare DSAI AND KJ & NAJIB ( the latter 2 do sound false and stiff)
