Speculations are again rife that Anwar Ibrahim will make a second attempt to wheedle Seberang Jaya state assemblyman Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah to join PKR by offering him the Penang Deputy Chief Minister’s 1 post vacated by Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin last week.
Anwar knows that Arif is one unhappy man in Umno as Arif has been constantly suppressed by his Permatang Pauh division chief Datuk Abdul Jalil Abdul Majid.
It is believed that PKR state information chief who is also a state executive councillor Abul Malik Kassim, the Batu Uban state assemblyman, may not get the post.
Abul Malik who has been eyeing the post was behind the orchestrating of Fairus’ resignation. Both of them had been involved in backbiting ever since they assumed office after last year’s March 8 general assembly.
Abul Malik was the Tanjung Umno division youth chief in the early 90s. He was operating a travel agency based in Komtar before he joined Anwar.
Fairus has relinquished all his positions in the state government except his state assemblyman post.
A close aide to Penang Chief Minister told me that Fairus may be asked to vacate his Penanti state seat to make way for a new person to contest the seat if Anwar fails to smooth-talk Arif.
The person will subsequently be appointed to replace Fairus as the new Penang Deputy Chief Minister 1 if he wins.
But what if PKR fails to defend the seat? I think it is too risky for Anwar to take that chance as he is aware that Prime Minister in-waiting Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is getting momentum in his agenda to reforms and make changes in Umno and the government.
And Barisan Nasional may wrest the seat if it is contested.
Lim is washing his hands over Fairus’ resignation issue and has repeatedly said that it is Anwar’s territory and he should be the one to answer all questions about Fairus.
Anwar is having a big “headache” now to control his own party and men. And he may suffer even a BIGGER HEADACHE to prove his innocent when his sodomy trial begins.
Fairus Finally Resigns As Penang DCM March 21, 2009

The embattled Penang Deputy Chief Minister Mohamad Fairus Khairuddin finally succumbed to pressures for him to resign from the post.
His resignation did not come as a surprise as it has been predicted and a matter of time.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has confirmed receiving Fairus’s resignation letter yesterday. (March 21).
I have highlighted many of Fairus’s wrongdoings and his inability to serve as a leader in my previous postings and most of them are justifiable.
I believe the last straw that broke Lim’s back is when he discovered that Fairus is involved in taking bribes from quarry operators in Penanti, Bukit Mertajam, to cover up their illegal activities.
(Please refer to my previous posting titled News Break: Fairus On The Take? He Is Also Dropped)
It is good that Fairus steps down as he has not done anything for the Malays in Penang. He is only interested to serve his personal interests and pockets.
I hope the people will continue to expose and reveal all misdeeds and wrongdoings committed by leaders in Pakatan Rakyat, including Lim and Anwar Ibrahim.
It shows now that they are no better than leaders of the previous Barisan Nasional Penang Government. Fairus has only assumed the post of the Deputy Chief Minister’s post barely a year ago and just look at the number of misdeeds and wrongdoings he had committed.
Like I said, Pakatan-Rakyat leaders are merely a set of Pots Calling The Kettle Black. They like to make A Mountain Out Of A Molehill of Barisan’s past gaffe but they fail to see their own image in the mirror.
I Wonder Why Anwar Is So Afraid To Face The Truth March 12, 2009

Why is Anwar Ibrahim so afraid to face the court? His lawyers have been fighting to stop his ongoing sodomy case from being transferred to the High Court.
While Anwar’s lawyers are exhausting all avenues to buy time, Anwar’s sodomy victim, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, is happy that the case will be heard in High court.
This is a QUESTION that we must ask ourselves. Why is Anwar is so troubled by the case if he is not guilty.
We have to face reality and the truth that Anwar is fearful that Saiful will “tell all” in the open court. Anwar is also terrified that the prosecution team will spill the bin and provide a case beyond doubt and spring surprises that will jolt Anwar during trial … and I believe anwar knows that the prosecution team have solid and “air-tight” evidence against him.
This is why Anwar is trying to postpone and delay his case on many occasions.
He is afraid that his supporters will desert him and his Pakatan-Rakyat coalition will disintegrate into thin air when the truth is revealed.
Saiful’s lawyer Zamri Idrus in a recent statement said that his client hoped that by tranferring the case to High Court would speed up the trial so that he could appear to give his testimony as soon as possible.
I wonder what happen to the medical report purportedly issued a doctor from the Pushwari Medical Centre alleging that Anwar did not commit the despicable act.
The doctor is also missing.
Lim Guan Eng Is A Beggar Now March 11, 2009

Tackle economy, Penang told reads the headlines in an English daily while the sub-heading reads Groups want government to stop politicking and deal with pressing issues.
This is the state government that Penangites have today. The state leaders, especially Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, is busy politicking and digging the past mistakes of the previous state government.
He has failed to live up to the expectations of the rakyat and fulfill his election promises.
Based on what I observed, Lim had gone to the extent of becoming a beggar when he constantly beg for money from the federal government to help boost Penang economy.
The latest was when he confidently said that the federal government would help Penang inject RM30bil to put the state’s economy back on track following the current economic crisis.
RM30bil? Lim must be joking and dreaming.
Why should the federal government waste that much money for Lim when there are many other states ruled by Barisan Nasional that need the fund.
What happen to his 2008 election manifesto? He was overwhelmingly confident when he said the DAP do not need the help from the federal government when he appealed for votes during his election campaign.
He and his father condemned the federal government for wasting money on mega projects. But Lim is singing a different tune now when he helms the state. He begs the federal government to fund mega projects which he had vehemently opposed when he was outside the state government.
The projects include the RM4.3bil Second Link Project, the RM1.02bil Penang Outer Ring Road project and the LRT plan for Penang.
Actually, Lim is a confused man now. He doesn’t know how to generate income for Penang and maintain the economic competitiveness of the state. Bear in mind that Penang is the Silicon Valley of the country.
So, Lim has no choice but to go back to Barisan Nasional’s drawing board and copies the projects that had been drawn up and planned by the previous state government.
He will then claim that the projects are implemented during his time. But where is Lim going to get the money for the projects? He can keep on dreaming.
This is the CAT philosophy promoted by Lim in his state administrative. A lazy CAT that likes to copy.
The Melayu That Will Remain As In Baju Melayu and Keretapi Tanah Melayu March 10, 2009

I will not mention the title Datuk Seri when I mention Anwar Ibrahim’s name in my write-ups as it is not because I hate him so much but I don’t think he deserves the title.
For the second time in a month, the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has condemned Anwar and his supporters for being rude, ill mannered and unabashed, given that they had been nurtured from the time of their ancestors in the customs and traditions, good behavior and courteousness.
The Sultan is irate with the recent political turmoil caused by Anwar and those who had constantly provoked and questioned the position and constitutional rights of the Malay rulers.
Sultan Sharafuddin said though the Malays would not be eliminated from the earth, it would be pointless for them to remain as an uncivilised and unrespected society that can be easily manipulated by others.
Anwar was instrumental in acceding to Karpal Singh’s daring statement challenging the Sultan of Perak.
Anwar is also behind the racial statements and slurs made by Chinese and Indian leaders against the Malays.
Anwar is the perpetrator behind the orchestrated court cases filed by the defunct Perak state assembly speaker V. Sivakumar and former Mentri Besar Nizar Jamaludin and others challenging the rights of the Sultan of Perak.
The habitual sodomite is also the culprit causing the split among the Malays in this country.
I agree with Sultan Sharifuddin that Melayu will not be extinct from the earth. What I am worried is that it will only remain as the Melayu in baju Melayu and Keretapi Tanah Melayu.
Tree House Is Only Fit for Monkeys March 7, 2009

THE leader of the Tree House (I thought tree house is only meant for monkeys), V. Sivakumar, has failed in his bid to be represented by his appointed counsels in two civil suits against him filed by the state government.
Well, that sums it all – doing monkey business by someone who doesn’t even know the law, albeit, holding the highest position in the noble House.
It is an open secret that Anwar Ibrahim is the culprit behind the shameful and ignominious act of PKR Perak assemblymen in holding the controversial state assembly session under a tree after they were barred from entering the House.
Like I said, trees are associated with monkeys and those seen participating in the illegal state assembly session are actually behaving like primates and embarrassing the country.
These blokes just do not care about law and order as long as they serve Anwar’s political ends.
I wonder when Anwar’s political circus is going to end. I do not see Anwar making any efforts to help the rakyat who are now grappling with the current economic turmoil.
And I have not heard Anwar making any plan or suggestion to help the country weather the economic storm.
He was quick to offer his “economic stimulus package” and other economic plans as well as a promise to reduce petrol prices during the height of the petrol crisis and before the 12th general election.
But why is he keeping quiet now when the country is facing real economic problem? Has he forgotten about the rakyat?
That’s Anwar. He will use the rakyat to his maximum advantage and pursue his political ambitions. Let us not be fooled by the BIG MONKEY.
Dissenting In PKR Penang Worsens March 4, 2009

The current political storm has not only swept the former ‘Tin Mine’ state of Perak but the tempest is also brewing in Penang.
Dissenting in PKR Penang is reaching its peak following the latest expulsion of Zainal Abidin Saad who was Special Officer to Mohamad Fairus Khairuddin, the beleaguered Penang Deputy chief Minister. Zainal was “fired” by his boss Fairus, on February 9, the seventh officer axed by Fairus since he assumed office about a year ago. Zainal, who is Anwar’s close aide, has sworn that he would take on Fairus in the next general election if Fairus decides to defend his Penanti state seat.
PKR Batu Uban state assemblyman Abdul Malik Kassim has taken over the portfolio of state Islamic Religious Committee chairman from Fairus who was recently dropped from the post. State PKR chairman Zahrain Hashim confirmed this after his meeting with Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng. The long-standing feud and power struggle between Abdul Malik and Fairus saw the former emerging as winner as Fairus has fallen out of favor not only with his boss Anwar, but also Guan Eng.
Guan Eng has lost for words on how to discipline Fairus as Fairus is not under his purview politically but was chosen by Anwar to warm the Deputy Chief Minister’s seat which was allocated to PKR under the Pakatan-Rakyat power sharing concept.
Guan Eng was also caught with his pants down when Fairus was implicated in a corruption case exposed by PKR’s national exco youth member Amizudin Ahmad who was former Seberang Perai Municipal councillor in his no-holds barred Press conference recently.
Well, it is time for Guan Eng, who has been talking about his CAT (Competency, Accountability and Transparency) philosophy to walk the talk and take action against Fairus. But does Guan Eng have the political will to do so?

I sighed a huge relief when I heard news that our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi reaffirms his commitment to hand over power to his deputy, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Of course, the people are apprehensive, as they have heard nothing about power transition between the No 1 and No 2.
All they heard was speculations, rumors and gossips about how Pak Lah wanted to cling on to power despite having less than a month in office.
Pak Lah said he would stick to the plan to hand over the prime ministership to Najib.
“That is the plan that I have made, so we will have to follow the plan,” Pak Lah was quoted as saying by the all the newspapers.
We hope he will honor his promises as anything can happen in this crucial one-month period. I believe it will be the longest one-month in Najib’s life but let’s pray to Allah that Najib will eventually assume the No 1 post after the next Umno general assembly.
This literally means that Najib will officially assumes office on April 1. I hope it will not turn out to be an APPRIL FOOL joke.
It will be a crushing blow for the Opposition, especially habitual sodomite, Anwar Ibrahim, as he was hoping that Pak Lah would remain in office so that he could continue to wreak havoc and tear the nation into pieces through his divide and rule stratagem.
It is time that Anwar and his supporters realize that he is not THE FACTOR that determines the future and course of the country. It is the people who will ultimately decide who should lead the country and what they want the country to be like.
Come April 1, the joke will be on Anwar and not Najib.
