SPECIAL GUEST BLOGGER: DNIGHTCALLER.

EARLIER today I had an unvited and an unsanctioned Guest Blogger - HANTU. I must admit he did quite an admirable job. He of course, the sour puss, took it with a big helping of salt. Honestly, Hantu, it was a good write!

+++++

Dnightcaller and I met briefly on victory night at KT. I invited him for a drink but he asked for a rain check as he was hurrying off to see what assistance he could offer to some revellers who were arrested that night by the cops. We met again, also briefly, when the cops dispersed us during the No To ISA candlelight vigil near the Civic Centre. But after the GMI/Pewaris Debate on 9 May we are really going to tarik at the Lotus, and hopefully muay thai warrior Sakmongkol will tarik with us without his AK47.

As a runup to May 7, Dnightcaller 2 May posting traces the events that led to the Perak Crisis. For you Perakians, who have not decided to go to Ipoh on 7 May, we hope this posting will make up your mind for you:

Does 1 Perak exist? Yes, No, limbo........

Come what may, May 2009 will be etched in Perak history forever. What happens next will be landmark history and a benchmark for things to come. Rightly or wrongly, the unfolding events were the makings of human greed and failings when it comes to power. And before we addressed the 1 Perak question, let us retro to the unfolding events and then continue from there...

The Perak crisis is actually borne out by these two men, Jamaluddin Mat Radzi and Mohd Osman Jailu. March 2008 has launched them from virtual unknowns to Perak seat of power.

And as a Malay idiom said "Bagai kera mendapat bunga" or literally translated as "Like a monkey that get hold of a flower", both of them succumbed to their newfound power. What they did in Penang with imported "pleasure merchandise" whilst being coerced into returning the "favour" with some "housing project approval" were splashed in the newspapers. And what do you expect the answers from those who profess Islam as their religion? You expect them to admit their guilt with shame and profound apologies to those who has trusted them by giving them their wins in GE12. That's the least that were expected of them. Yet, they came out with silly statements equating their misdeeds as "sedekah".

Equating something with "sedekah" which is highly valued in Islam is something that is most unbecoming of them. It demonstrate their lack of knowledge and to equate their misdeeds to "sedekah" is gross injustice of the highest degree. You see, in Islam, as I know it, if both of them has committed the unforgivable sin and proven without doubt that they have done that, they will be stoned to death. But these 2 jokers can smiled and equate to "sedekah". Enough of that....

They were charged in court for bribery and dates for the hearing were set. All along, PR government has gone all out to support the 2 in denying the corruption charges. Along the way, PR has also taken punitive measures for the 2 and their co-accused.


Then, came the cruncher. Anwar Ibrahim, in his haste to take over from BN received a trojan horse in his midst. That trojan horse is his former college roomate cum state rep from Bota. Whilst rejoicing with his newfound toy, Najib has induced the 2 jokers of Behrang and Changkat Jering to Pekan for some "medical" therapy. And all this happen during the CNY celebration.

A week later, Bota return to BN's fold with Behrang and Changkat Jering reps announcing their defection from PR. Their announcement ceremony were graced by one Hee, the disgruntled Perak deputy speaker. And with this, Perak crisis was born...


PIC BY BODOHLAND
What happens next is most mind boggling! And this time it involved the Perak royal house. What happened in Istana Kinta will forever be scrutinized by all and sundry. And the centre point of it all is the role of constitutional monarchy. Does HRH have the right and power to appoint 2 MBs'? And did the first MB resign? If not, what grounds dictated HRH action? Let all this be answered in due time for history will record what happened in Istana Kinta in its own way and history can always wait...

The lawsuits and counter lawsuits that flies back and forth between the high courts and federal courts, between MB Nizar and MB Zambry is a records of sorts! Where else do you have 2 MBs' sitting at the same time if not Malaysia..a truly Malaysia boleh! And to me, the best person to resolve the issue is the person who started the confusion - and he is HRH Perak!.

HRH Perak should be calling both MB Nizar and Zambry together for an audience with HRH and lay down all their arguments for HRH. And for this to happen, HRH has to leave his own self interest outside the door! And since all three, HRH MB Nizar and MB Zambry, are all Muslims by practise they should be arguing based on Islamic principles and foundations. To me, to resolve the whole problem, these are the actions to be taken :-

1. Both MB Nizar and MB Zambry agree to suspend Behrang and Changkat Jering from the state assembly as both of them are still involved in court cases;
2. Better still, HRH in his capacity as the Islamic head of Perak, ordered Changkat Jering and Behrang to quit their posts;
3. Both MB Nizar and MB Zambry to agree that no future cross overs shall be entertained by both sides;
4. In the case of the laughing Hee, HRH to order Hee to make her mind whether to stay with DAP or resign from DAP to join another party;
5. HRH ordered to both MBs' to retract their suits from court and further get their agreement that no future suits regarding this issue will be lodged in courts;
6. To get both MB Nizar and MB Zambry to jointly choose an option, either to accept whatever decision of the state assembly or to dissolve the state DUN;

HRH still has the time to undo what he has done. Some may ask why I did not include Perak State Secretary and Legal Adviser in the meeting with HRH. The explanation is simple...both State Secretary and legal advisers are career officers whose paymaster is in Putrajaya. So, what can be expected from career officers who are not loyal to the state of Perak?

So now back to the title of whether 1 Perak exist...PM6 is his first speech as the PM of Malaysia has launched the slogan "1 Malaysia, People first, performance now". And since PM6 is MB Zambry's leader, shouldn't Zambry be following Najib? And if Zambry were to follow Najib..then shouldn't the priority be given to the people? Let the people decide who they want to lead Perak, whether PR or BN...

I am in the opinion that HRH is still the key to resolve the Perak crisis. Let HRH make his decision, free from threats and tricks. Maybe Perak crisis happened due to HRH's error and maybe not. But, for the benefit of all, HRH should call both MB Nizar and MB Zambry together and at the same time for audience with HRH. What transpire behind the close doors should be fair to all.

Some may ask, if HRH decided to call both MBs', will it not be too late? The answer is no. What both MBs' can first decide is to agree that the state legislature sitting under the tree is calid and that, in itself, will give 6 months breathing space for the parties to work out an amicable solution. You see, I doubt that BN is in good shape ion Perak. Tajol Rosli has declined the offer to be the replacement Perak speaker. That maybe a signal that veteran BN reps are not happy with the situation and maybe they have their own interpretation of the crisis.

Right now, Perak crisis has opened up new frontiers when PR has shown its potential to rule 5 states. And if we go by PM6's call for freedom to media, MB Zambry should not be curbing the media to access the state assembly. It now seems that MB Zambry is going against PM6's slogan. If this is true, then it will be a sad day to Malaysia when BN's own MB go against his own master and leader...


What happens in Perak is quite similar to what is happening to Terengganu. The only difference is that, in Terengganu, the dissenting voice of more than 50 % of the ADUNs' come from within its own BN ranks...that, in itself, is a problem to PM6.

For Perak, the clock is ticking fast. Whatever solutions available to resolve the crisis is closing fast and will be shut down forever when 7th May 2009 comes.

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...

Asking DAP Hee to quit her Party ? That's very mildly put. If there's any principle involved, she should vacate her State seat and let the EC dexclare a by-election. SAPP in Sabah quit the Barisan fold but they never sell their principles to join any other component Party. What Hee did was akin to abandoning her husband to co-habitat with another man without the proper divorce papers in place. Outright shameful and absolutely disgraceful coming from a Malaysian Chinese woman.

HRH could be annoyed :
1) LKS 's objection of his choice of MB, nizar;
2) the islamic chairman was transferred without consulting him;
3) too many non-malays' &
4) .....dun NO yet !!

HRH Sultan of Perak is surely aware of the overall sentiments of the rakyat on this debacle. Barisan and Putrajaya are equally fully aware the foregone conclusion if a new State election is to be called. The Election Commission is working their butts to ensure NO State election would be held. We know they all know we know. But the rakyat is still facing against the odds. Strange manner how Democracy works in this country. Only in Malaysia. Did the Government con this catch-phrase "Malaysi Boleh"? Now the true meaning is beginning to stink.

In any case on Thursday, Big Mama is going to stamp on either one, that is Pangkor Pele, or the people as to say "shut up, I don't care." If the people wins on Thursday, she's gonna stamp Zambry and for the third time on Najib - well, she'd scold him for his negligence...

On that day, if there's a protest going on, you gonna need a bigger boat as in PAS's maroon group....

We shd all respect the elders..this days young freshie ineducated like Pi-mai shd very well finished his education & especially moral before blindly "barking" at the tree bark.
I just hope many RAKYAT will wake up & wiser to realise the real world,not the one that is poluted by UMNO's BN bad breath & magical spell.

I would wish..Democracy to be returned to the RAKyat Perak...the rulling party be determine by rakyat, like me. Not forcibly bought over by the UMNO's BN. Everything is cash purchase by UMNO's. I know how rich they were but need not flung $ everywhere.

Poor me..for having to bear with the bad temper Zamry who rather disposed the Camry instead of Zamry. Suddenly realised Perdana has already ceased production since late last year decided to maintained his old problematic high cost Junk, when he earlier informed his intention to buy new Perdana.

Zamry who reversed the banning media now turn hero by proclaiming he is for freedom of press. Shows wat idiot one is..

I now realised UMNO's BN is trully expert in diversion facts, manipulation news (Utusan create news not report news)& resort to National Security Force..ie. ISA, MACC, Cops , FRU.

I'm now a convert...realised how foolish I'm in the past as supporter to BN.

Assalamualaikum,
Pi Mai Pi Mai sound like an angry young man.
Rasanya budak budak tingkatan lima pun boleh berhujah dengan lebih rational.
Pi Mai , anda yang datang ka blog Zorro and you asked him to blow his pipe somewhere else. Tak masuk akal. You get out and let your hot air off elsewhere. Itu baru betul.
For someone who love peace, your writing does not indicate that.
Right, some PR members are flip flop, but that is a budaya yang telah di ketengahkan oleh Umno selama 50 tahun lebih.
