AdilanClub: Lim should go to Johor, Anwar to Pahang: But will Najib go to Penang, Chua to Ipoh

AdilanClub Breaking news is the best for news

Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has signaled a green light and said that it is now the best time to hold the 13th general election, while Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has instructed all BN component party leaders to submit their lists of candidates for the election within two weeks. It seems that the election is really approaching and even if there is any changes, it would not be delayed until next year.

If Najib wants to have the election in May or June, he must immediately address the candidate problems to avoid the outburst of resistance and factional conflicts during the election, which could affect the final results.

Perkasa boss slams ‘old cow’ Kit, ‘rich’ Khairy

Ibrahim Ali criticises his critics, DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang and Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

PETALING JAYA: Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali lashed out at DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang, calling the veteran politician an “old cow”.

He also took the “rich” Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin to task, and welcomed the latter’s call on the police to investigate him under the Sedition Act.

Khairy had urged the police to investigate Ibrahim following his comments on Sunday after the Perkasa boss launched Gerak Aman to counter the Bersih 2.0 rally scheduled for July 9.

During the launch, Ibrahim had warned the Chinese to stock up on food since anything could happen on that day.

His remarks also irked Lim, who criticised the authorities for not acting against Ibrahim.

Commenting on this, the Perkasa boss said: “I am very proud to hear the criticisms from Lim. I feel that I am great.”

“To me, he (Lim) is like an ‘old cow’ that wouldn’t have tender meat even after boiling. We know who Lim is since May 13,” he added, referring to the racial riots which took place in 1969.

In rebuking Khairy, Ibrahim questioned why Umno Youth was holding a rally without support from MCA, MIC and Gerakan Youth wings.

“He is BN Youth leader in name only,” he mocked.

Khairy had announced last week that Umno Youth would also hold a peaceful assembly on July 9 to submit proposals for reforming the elections.

“Umno Youth’s assembly without a police permit is also against the law. Is Khairy willing to do that or is it just a gimmick?” asked Ibrahim.

‘He became rich fast’

The Perkasa boss also accused Khairy of assuming the duties of the inspector-general of police.

“Why doesn’t Khairy instruct the police to investigate the allegations of money politics against himself that was levelled by the Umno disciplinary committee and his role in ECM Libra?

“It will be good to investigate Khairy because he became rich in a short time during the administration of his father-in-law (Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) as prime minister,” he said.

Ibrahim also criticised Khairy for suggesting on Twitter that the Langkawi International Dialogue (LID) be called off because Malaysia invited Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe.

Ibrahim speculated that the call was made because LID was led by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a staunch critic of Khairy during Abdullah’s tenure.

AdilanClub: I’m waiting for you: Kit Siang to Dr M

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

PETALING JAYA: Like a scene from a Clint Eastwood western, two aging gunfighters are training their pistols on each other in what could be their last political duel.

Responding to Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s call on the people of Johor to put Lim Kit Siang’s political career six feet underground, the latter has now thrown a dare to the former premier.

The DAP veteran challenged the patriarch of Umno to contest against him in the Gelang Patah parliamentary constituency in the coming 13th general election.

“With Mahathir still so active in Malaysian and in particular Umno politics, I invite him to come to Gelang Patah to contest in the elections and let the people of Johor decide whose political life should be ended, and whether Gelang Patah should be the political ‘kubur’ [grave] for me or him.

Of brash accusations, hypocrisy and the sort of M'sia after GE-13

Everyone seems to be on Twitter these days. And sometimes a 'mis-tweet' can get someone into a lot of trouble. Remember, the lady who caused a commotion with her Christian tweet that gave a pro-Umno blogger the opportunity to 'get' the police to confiscate her computer?

Then, there was also Tony Pua’s recent tweet threatening to pull out of the coalition if issues concerning the Ramadan ban on entertainment outlets in Kedah could not be settled. That too caused a lot of red faces in the party and coalition.

Now the latest is also from another DAP leader, a Boo Cheng Hau from Johor, also using Twitter-jaya as a leveraging tool to gain points in the Pakatan Rakyat seat allocations fight. By now, seat fights are commonplace and should the enemy BN seize the opportunity to 'do in' Pakatan, then that's the Pakatan's own doing and serves it right.

But what has stuck out like a sore thumb in Boo's off-tangent remarks require an answer - oddly - from his own bosses Lim Kit Siang and Lim Guan Eng. He has accused PKR vice president Chua Jui Meng of 'racial' allocations, an accusation that is swollen with the insinuations the PKR is laden with ex-members of Umno and MCA.

Is anything wrong with that? Does the DAP not have any ex-Umno members, not a single former MCA member?

Kit Siang: ‘All Tuns’ dragnet must include Najib, Hisham

Lim asked if Dr Mahathir’s challenge will find support among those who would be audited. — File pic

KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 — Lim Kit Siang said today Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s proposed audit of “all Tuns” and their children must include Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, sons of Tun Abdul Razak Hussein and Tun Hussein Onn respectively.

The former prime minister said yesterday he would accept an audit on his administration after Lim claimed taxpayers lost RM100 billion in financial scandals during his 22-year tenure, but said “all Tuns must be audited. The sons and grandsons of Tuns as well,” in an apparent reference to his successor, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

MAY 17 — How big is the damage Tunku Abdul Aziz's departure from DAP could do to the party, in particular in winning over the hearts of Malay voters?

Rival parties have painted a picture of Malay leaders having no place in the DAP, and that the party is primarily a Chinese-dominated party. But, does DAP lose its multiracial tag now that it has lost Tunku?

Kit Siang tells Najib to put money where his mouth is

Lim said Najib had yet to cement his numerous remarks about turning
Malaysia into the world’s best democracy. 

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 — Lim Kit Siang has challenged Datuk Seri Najib Razak to withdraw the ban on Bersih, free the judiciary and repeal other oppressive laws before boasting of becoming “the best democracy in the world.”

The DAP parliamentary leader insisted that despite plans to repeal the Internal Security Act (ISA) and other security laws, Malaysia was still “among the worst democracies in the world where citizens can be arrested for wearing yellow.”

Lim was referring to the arrests of nearly 200 ordinary Malaysians and politicians for wearing yellow Bersih T-shirts during the police crackdown in the days leading to the electoral reform group’s July 9 rally.

'Lonely planet' Najib Razak shunned as Umno warlords huddle for a successor

These days, Najib Razak is a lonely soul in the UMNO circles. The warlord are all busy drawing lines of engagement and none have included him in their plans. Not the ones that matter anyway. Sadly, Najib may only be left with wife Rosmah Mansor as his companion. Even his cousin Hishamuddin seems to have deserted him.

The 58-year old Najib may well make it into the Malaysian Book of Records as being the premier with the shortest term in office and on top of that, the only Prime Minister who has yet to receive the people’s mandate via a general election.

"He is now in a very weakened state, weaker even than Abdullah Badawi towards the end. There aren't many successors, only his deputy Muhyiddin and very likely Tengku Razaleigh," PAS leader Dzulkefly Ahmad told Malaysia Chronicle.
