Zambry claimed Umno can win 34 seats in next polls but they dare not walk the talk

The leader of the Perak rebel state government Dr Zambry Abd Kadir claimed that Perak Umno could win about 34 seats in the next election but he insisted that he will not call for snap polls in order to prove his claim right.

Zambry instead called on the 28 Pakatan state assemblymen to quit en bloc to prove they have the people's support.

Come on Zambry, your party launched a coup to toppled a legitimate state government elected by the people and installed your rebel state government into force without the people's mandate.

If you claim you can win 34 state seats, then you should initiate to dissolve the state legislative assembly in order to prove your claim is accurate. Do not push the ball to Pakatan Rakyat. They are the victim of your political game.

And if you still refuse to dissolve the state legislative assembly to pave way for a snap poll, then you are already a political coward. You dare not face the people directly.

'BN to win elections? Go test it in Perak'

The Najib factor would allow BN to fare better than the last general election if the 13th general election is held today, according to pro-Umno Merdeka Centre.

In that case we want to inform Najib and the director of Merdeka Centre (who should also advise Najib) then dissolve the Perak state assembly and hold fresh elections in the state. It will be a perfect chance to evaluate your so-called "excellent, visionary leadership".

The problem is Umno did not have enough guts to dissolve the Perak state assembly now to hold a fresh elections because they fear of their repeat lost in the last general elections and the exposure of their mismanagement of the state resources of their previous governance.

They had heard, seen and watched what happened to Selangor Umno and Khir Toyo who mishandled the entire state to their lust and they did not want their wrongdoings to be uprooted by the Pakatan Rakyat. That is why the Perak Umno Rebel State Government continued their illegal administration instead. They cowardly hid behind the back of the state ruler, by saying that they followed the ruler's advice, instruction and so on.

And when we say Umno is wrong, these Umno leaders will say those who said the party was wrong committed treason as the ruler had given its blessings to the party. Where is the prove that the ruler had given his consent to Umno to seize power in the state? We did not see it. It was hel behind close doors and anything can happen at all times.

Do not support Umno anymore, they are ruin the entire nation into chaos without our knowledge and we were to realise it, then it will be too late to save our nation.

BN will never change

Let us look at the recently concluded party elections in the MIC where all those men who were aligned to Samy Vellu won and grabbed all the important positions in the central committee and the disciplinary board as well.

The reformers led by Datuk S.Sothinathan were blantantly rejected by the assembly of conservative delegates. After his defeat, no one knows where is Sothi's direction or what will be his next course of action.

For Datuk S.Subramaniam who is vying for a comeback but failed to garner enough votes to take down Samy's Datuk G.Palanivel for the deputy presidency, he will still be on the run in the party.

This time Samy had enough with his former deputy and vowed revenge against him for not staying out of the party elections.

The situation is clear, Samy Vellu had a firm grip over MIC for decades and he still wants to hold on it. Perhaps, he is vying for the party life presidency now.

In this case, MIC cannot reform and rejuvenate and you had seen the leaders of the rest of the BN component parties.

Umno is still with their racist tags and jargons of the 50s after 52 years running this country, PPP president Datuk M.Kayveas purged his reformist rising star Datuk T.Murugiah, Gerakan president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon suspending his outspoken party vice president Huan Cheng Guan for 3 years, while MCA president Datuk Ong Tee Keat ousting his deputy Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek by sacking him from the party.

The rest, Sarawak's Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu (PBB) president Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is going to stay on as chief minister as long as he lives, Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) president Tan Sri Dr George Chan is not making way for the young ones in his party and so does the rest in the BN fold.

The question is can BN component parties really reform while all those old and conservative leaders continue to cling on to their positions? Can these BN component parties reform while their outspoken leaders and reformist are purged and kicked out of the party and their positions taken away to prevent them an active role from within?

Certainly there will be no change at all if all these defiant conservative leaders stay on to their respective party positions. It shows that all these BN component parties cannot accept changes and reform despite knowing that they had been rejected and turned irrelevant after the 8 March general elections last year.

Therefore, for change to materialise in BN, no way! If you want real change and reform, leave the corrupt coalition and join Pakatan Rakyat. We are the real reformists.

Perak Umno rebel government sealed state secretariat

The Umno police personnel preventing Pakatan assemblymen from entering the state secretariat building. The Pakatan assemblyment were led by Datuk Nizar and his state Exco members.

The Perak Umno rebel state government today sealed the entire state secretariat which also house the state legislative assembly building in their bid to prevent the state assemblymen and the Speaker from commencing the state assembly sitting as required by the Perak state constitution.

To strengthen its move, the Perak Umno rebel state government had called in the federal-backed security forces as well as their party supporters from all over the country. The Umno supporters was earlier spotted in an opposite site demonstrating against the Pakatan state assemblymen and supporters. Most of the Umno members are clad in yellow shouted slogans supporting their rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and denouncing the legitimate Pakatan-led state government.

As the state assemblymen and the Speaker was disallowed entry into the state legislative assembly building by security forces personnel and Umno supporters, the Speaker had no choice but to convene the state assembly sitting at Heritage Hotel in Ipoh and passed motions to condemn the acts of Umno state assemblymen, defectors and imposed fines onto those who involved in the last 7 May fracas which saw the Speaker V.Sivakumar was forcibly pulled from his chambers and locked up in an undisclosed room.

Apart from being forced out violently from his chair, Sivakumar was also prevented from discharging his duties as the state Speaker. He was then replaced by the rebel-appointed R.Ganesan before the 7 May state assembly sitting commence.

The sitting today approved a decision by its rights and privileges committee to arrest and jail for six months the rebel Speaker Ganesan and his deputy Hee Yit Foong for their active role in the said fracas. The two were also fined RM500,000 by the state assembly.

The rebel state government was established by Perak Umno last February following their coup d'etat which saw the Pakatan state government being toppled. The Umno rebels had since refused to back down despite mounted pressure from the public to dissolve the state legislative assembly to pave way for a fresh state elections for fear of being rejected by the people again.

Rumours of a Selangor 'coup' unleashes pre-emptive moves

Rumours about a BN-Umno engineered Selangor coup are making the rounds among political circle and Pakatan leaders are not taking it sitting down.

This is certainly a well-planned coup attempt by BN-Umno same as the one they did it on Perak on last February. Well, we hope that the Selangor Pakatan leadership will plan its strike back before it is too late.

Learn from the experience that Perak Pakatan had undergone. The BN-Umno had the MACC and various security apparatus to support their coup attempt. The Selangor Pakatan need to sit down together to come up with their next course of action rather than to deal with petty political squabbles amongst PKR, DAP and PAS.

Remember, the Umno president Najib Razak had pledged to retake Selangor at any cost and if he is serious about this, he will do it at any cost, by riots, by force or any ways he wants, even the armed forces tanks might be send in to topple the state government.

Therefore, we hope the Selangor Pakatan will start doing their homework before it is too late. Be extra careful and maintain your alert at any possibilities. These Umno people are really uncivilised and they could resort to anything if they want.

Pakatan states ought to have own security force

In aftermath of the 8 March general elections last year, DAP, PKR and PAS came together to established a coalition named Pakatan Rakyat to govern five states namely Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor and Kelantan which they won over in the said poll.

It was most unfortunate that after the five Pakatan state governments started functioning, the federal government which is still dominated by Umno but without the two thirds majority in the parliament, started and continues its political offensive nationwide against Pakatan in order to curb their rising influence and popularity amongst our people.

Security forces under the jurisdiction of the home ministry were widely being used and mobilized nationwide by Umno to watch and control the increasing activities of Pakatan component parties via restrictions, banning of ceramahs, withdrawal of earlier permits given, massive arrest of supporters, issuing threats and so on.

Besides, Umno s also trying to win back the hearts of the Malay community by stirring up racial sentiments and tensions, promoting hatred and creating chaos in a number of Pakatan rule states.

First, a massive illegal rally was organized by Umno in Penang to protest against plans outlined by the DAP-led state government to implement an open tender system which encourages competency, accountability and transparency. The new state government policy was apparently being twisted by Umno to sound like the DAP had came out with an anti-Malay policy in order to stir the anger of the Malays residing in the state. The police did nothing and did not bother to disperse the illegal rally because it was organized by Umno and it did not have a permit to assemble. The Penang state government however, tolerated the rally with much patient and managed to explain to the people on its new policies. In this case, Umno’s first coup attempt failed in Penang because the overall Malay community did not support the provocative move.

Then, Umno pursued further, this time created havoc and racial tensions in Selangor by alleging that a state executive councilor had instigated the people to protest against two mosques’ azans. As a result the state executive councilor was detained by the Umno inspired police force and put under a so-called ISA detention for few weeks where her whereabouts was kept secret. The state executive councilor was an innocent lady who knew nothing of the intended protest against the mosques’ azan. It was an Umno leader by the name of Dr Mohd Khir Toyo who had stirred up the racial and religious tension in hope that there will be a riot in the state thus allowing the federal government to declare an emergency rule in the state and to have the military called in to take over the state administration from the Pakatan state government. In this case, Umno’s second coup attempt failed in Selangor as the people of the state had fully rallied behind the Pakatan-led state government.

Third, the then Penang Umno Bukit Bendera division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail again stirred up racial tension in Penang by calling the Malaysian Chinese as Squaters and Temporary Residents of this country. It resulted to massive protest from various Chinese guides and associations and even Umno’s coalition partners in the BN like MCA and Gerakan sounded their protests heavily on their political master and Datuk Ahmad’s racist statement.

Due to this, journalist Tan Hoon Cheng who had reported what Datuk Ahmad said was made a scapegoat and she was unreasonably arrested and detained under the ISA for nothing. The real culprit, Datuk Ahmad escaped justice because he is a prominent Umno leader and closely link to the prime minister.

Not enough with Hoon Cheng’s ISA detention, Umno leaders in Penang ran wild and even called for the journalist to be executed by shooting because she reported the truth. We could remember that Penang Umno secretary Datuk Azhar Ibrahim personally called Hoon Cheng to be killed because she exposed Umno’s racist activities. And the police did nothing despite police reports were lodged by DAP, Gerakan, MCA and other Chinese community leaders. The police could not take action against these Umno racist due to the fact of the supremacist position that Umno leaders enjoyed in this country. This is really frustrating.

In Perak, the Umno leaders successfully engineered a coup d’etat that toppled the Pakatan state government after they enticed two of its state executive councilors and the state assembly deputy speaker to jump ship.

In aftermath of the rebellion, Umno established a rebel state government to take over the state administration from the Pakatan side. The Umno rebel government also used its newly acquired powers to seal off the Perak state legislative assembly building to prevent the state assembly from convening its meeting thus, resulting to the sitting held under a tree outside the state legislative building.

Police and paramilitary personnel were dispatched in number of regiments and battalions to prevent Pakatan leaders from entering the state legislative assembly building and the state secretariat. Apart from that the Umno-led security forces had also surrounded the Sultan’s palace in Kuala Kangsar in order to prevent any Pakatan leaders from seeking an audience with his royal highness to explain the actual situation.

Then, later the Pakatan’s Perak state assembly speaker was ousted in another coup d’etat engineered by Umno in an unconstitutional manner and he was replaced by a strange man who was not even a state assemblyman. And when the speaker tried to resist his coup plotters, the Umno rebels called in their security force and have him forcefully removed and dragged out from his chambers and locked in a dark room for few hours before he was released. These security men did not act professionally nor constitutionally but rather politically pro-Umno against the Pakatan state government leaders in order to maintain their livelihood.

These policemen really had no choice. They are all under the jurisdiction of the home ministry whose minister is a vice president of Umno, the dominant party of the BN coalition. And if they resist their political masters, what will they get in return? Everyone knows.

From here, you could clearly see that even though Pakatan Rakyat is governing some states that they had won right now, they are completely defenseless against the mighty institutions of the Umno dominated federal government like the police force, the military, paramilitary forces, prisons department, judiciary, MACC and the mainstream medias like RTM, TV3, NTV7, Radios, Berita Harian, Utusan Malaysia, NSTP, the Star, etc.

It is very clear that the Pakatan state government had nothing to defend themselves against any onslaughts from the Umno-led federal government and their powerful institutions. What if Umno decides one day that they had enough with all the Pakatan state governments, and decides to declare a state of emergency in these states to forcefully take over the governance of these states with the police and military forces mobilized into action on their behalf?

What can the Pakatan state governments do then? Just sit there and watch their administrations being toppled like that? Are there any other choice? Mobilize their supporters and members to protest against the Umno dominated police and military forces? This would not help much as it may somehow result to bloodshed or massive death among our people if Umno decides to offensively crackdown on Pakatan Rakyat.

Therefore, it is extremely important that the Pakatan Rakyat leaders should seriously consider this option to establish their own security force within their institution and we stress that a Pakatan-led security force is essential to create a balance of power with the Umno-led security forces which can be seen today in its effort to crackdown the activities and influences of our Pakatan state governments and to ensure the stability, security and the safety of their people are maintained in the respective states.

Take Perak by example, Selangor and Kedah might be next. You have to take up this option.

Written Judgment missing

The Appeal Court had on 22 May gave a verbal judgment confirming that Perak rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir was the rightful menteri besar of Perak thus, overruled an earlier decision made by the High Court declaring that Datuk Seri Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin was the lawful menteri besar of the Perak.

Well, the situation now is getting tense, Datuk Nizar wanted to file an appeal against the Appeal Court's decision but the Appeal Court judges had yet to finalise their written judgment which they made on 22 May verbally. Why are these judges delaying their judgments in writting? Did they really know how to write their judgment?

Or is this a sabotage effort from someone at the top instructing those judges to delay the written judgment so Datuk Nizar would not be able to file a proper and detail appeal against the judgment?

The Appeal Court had earlier promised that they will provide the written judgment within seven days from the date of the judgment day, that is 22 May but to-date nothing has been issued to Datuk Nizar so far.

And now Datuk Nizar is faced with the ending of the 30 day deadline to file an appeal to the Federal Court just because of the purposely delayed written judgment from the Appeal Court.

This is a very clear act of attempt to sabotage Datuk Nizar's effort to file an appeal against the Appeal Court's decision.

Nizar to appeal against judgment

Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin is look set to file an appeal against the Appeals Court’s ruling on last May declaring Perak rebel leader Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the rightful menteri besar of Perak.

The problem that Datuk Seri Nizar would be facing right now is, he has yet to obtain the written judgment made on 11 May by the Appeals Court judges who presided the hearing and ruled in favour of Dr Zambry. The judgment was in fact made verbally.

Where is the written judgment then? What take those judges so long to prepare and write down their judgment of the day? Do these judges in the Appeals Court know how to write their judgments?

Or are they waiting for Datuk V.K.Lingam to help them draft their judgments? Is there a motive to delay the written judgment so that Datuk Seri Nizar would have a difficult time in filing a proper appeal against the said judgment? We supposed it could be a sabotage going on to prevent Datuk Seri Nizar from obtaining a proper court hearing for his appeal against the ruling.

Umno and its Perak rebel state government is trying every effort to manipulate the court in order to rule in their favour and against the constitution and the people as well.

The current administration in Perak is now being run by the rebels who seized power in an Umno-sponsored coup d’etat last February and it is not an elected state government as they proclaimed. It is a rebel state government run by Umno and their lackeys from MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP

Speaker vs Speaker - Round 2

Malaysiakini reports that ousted speaker V Sivakumar is seeking a court injunction against BN-installed speaker R Ganesan from obstructing him in exercising his duties.

We hope Sivakumar would proceed with his application for a court injunction as soon as possible without delay to prevent the illegally installed rebel speaker from discharging his duties unconstitutionally.

As a legitimate speaker, Sivakumar was ousted by an unclear and improper vote of no-confidence against him before the Raja Muda of Perak officially opens the state assembly sitting. That means Sivakumar was illegally removed before the state assembly commence its sitting.

Looks like the Umno rebels who had launched a third coup d'etat on 7 May last week mistakenly toppled Sivakumar before the state assembly sitting commence, where in actual fact a vote of no-confidence should only be carried out during the state assembly proceedings.

It shows that the Umno rebels also had not confident with their recently self proclaimed majority and had to rely solely on undemocratic, unconstitutional and violent measures to forcefully remove Sivakumar from his position.

Earlier reports also indicated that an Umno man even brought a gun into the state assembly for standby in case if Sivakumar is too strong to be manhandled. Such an act is so violent and Sivakumar may end up being killed if he persist further.

What if Sivakumar got killed? Umno will make history for itself. A bloody coup d'etat perhaps.

The ball is in sultan's court

Malaysiakini reports that public pressure is once again on the Perak sultan to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly to break the three-month-long political impasse.

And we believe and hope that the sultan will make an accurate and correct decision this time to dissolve the state assembly as soon as possible in order to pave way for another state elections. Let the people decide on who should govern the state.

Umno would try every ways and means to avoid a state elections as they are afraid the people would once again reject them, like on 8 March 2008 last year. Umno is afraid of losing for the second time.

Some unconfirm source also indicate that the Perak rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir might declare a state of emergency in order to curb the people's pressure as well as the Pakatan Rakyat's popularity via military presence and curfew. Will Dr Zambry do that anyway?

And if Zambry does, what will happen to Perak then?

Call for Snap Elections in Perak

As we had seen the political and constitutional crisis turned from bad to worst, following the coup d'etat and power seizure by a terrorist organisation called Umno.

When Umno toppled the state government on last February, they installed their rebel state government and its rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir becames the menteri besar of the illegal administration.

After the Kuala Lumpur High Court declared Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin as the lawful menteri besar, Dr Zambry fearing of losing his position quickly obtain another court order to have himself back to office the next day.

More and more people both from inside and outside of Perak are calling for snap election as the situation is worsening because of Umno's continuous onslaught. Even MCA and Gerakan are now getting fed up with their supreme master and had started demanding that Umno should "let go" and hold a fresh election in order to obtain the people's mandate.

But Umno seems to refusing advice even from its BN component parties. They knew they will lose badly this time if a snap election is called, and that is why they wanted to cling on to power even if by illegal ways or means. At then end, should situation worsens, Umno might even resort to violence in order to subdue the electorate and the people.

What now? Its all up to the Sultan and Raja Muda of Perak.

Court rules Nizar is legitimate MB

Malaysiakini ~ In a landmark decision yesterday, the Kuala Lumpur High Court has declared that BN-Umno's Zambry is not the lawful MB and Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin as the sole legitimate Menteri Besar of Perak.

Justice has been served. The rebel state government under its rebel menteri besar Dr Zambry Abd Kadir must vacate their offices immediately.

Furthermore, the legitimate state government which was put back to power yesterday must act tough on those state civil servants who had collaborated with the rebels to topple the state government.

Suspending the state secretary, state legal advisor and the state assembly secretary aren't enough. These rebel collaborators should in fact be expelled from the state administration with immediate effect.

There is no point of keeping these people in the state government anymore if do not wish to work or cooperate with the state leaders. Keeping them in their positions by just suspending them is just waste of time, money and public funds.

Sack them all, and get a replacement in as soon as possible in order to get things done.

Third coup d’etat in Perak, beginning of dictatorship

As we had all knew the third coup d’etat in Perak had already happened. Umno again launched the coup to completely seize control of the entire government machinery in Perak by ousting the State Assembly Speaker V.Sivakumar via force and fist.

Now, Perak Umno is in complete control of the state and had established an effective dictatorship. Unconstitutional and undemocratic measures were taken to continue curbing the rising influence of the Pakatan Rakyat by making mass arrest of human rights activist, politicians, elected representatives, NGO leaders in order to prevent the truth from being channel to the people and the grassroots.

Despite being ousted, we still considered our V.Sivakumar the legitimate Speaker of the Perak State Assembly. He is the father of Perak Democracy and the pillar of Perakians struggle for Democracy. In fact, Sivakumar had shown a great courage in standing against the combined mighty forces of the federal government, the corrupt royalties, and the Umno dominated police and security forces.

Sivakumar had held on, demonstrating a will of steel and he still held on despite being physically abused and removed from the Speaker’s chair by many Umno henchmen. We understand that Sivakumar is also slightly injured due to the struggle to remove him but we advise him not to worry and continue wearing those physical scars dutifully in the name of democracy, freedom, justice and equality. Sivakumar will be remembered as the defender of Perak democracy until the 13th general election.

Let us all not recognize the Umno dictatorship in Perak. Their administration is illegal because their power was obtained via power seizure by illegitimate means. The current administration in the state is call the Perak Umno Rebel State Government or in Malay language “Kerajaan Pemberontak Umno Negeri Perak”. This is a clear fact Umno now administers the state via a rebel state government, as it was not elected by the people. The governance that Umno obtained today was by coup d’etat. Umno toppled a legitimate state government and proclaimed themselves into power by force.

And did you know Tan Sri Musa Hassan, the head of the Umno dominated police force said few days ago that they do not have enough police personnel to combat crimes in our entire nation. Guess what?

They had assembled thousands of their police personnel from other parts of the nation in Perak to serve the interest of Umno in the state, to install the Umno rebel state government, to assist the coup d’etat to take place in Perak and to assist in toppling the elected state government in Perak. The police personnel had in fact being majorly concentrated in political affairs rather than combating crimes. That is why crimes in our nation are on the rise.

The police are not interested in combating the crimes in our nation but they are only interested in furthering the interest of Umno because their party leader is the minister of home affairs in the Umno-dominated federal government.

From February until now, the way the power seizure was organized showed that the Umno state assemblymen and their leaders are no better than highway robbers or “mat rempits”. Can this kind of political animals be lawmakers for our people? It would be a real joke.

7 May shall be best remembered as a definite OneBlackMalaysia indeed. Innocent people are simply thrown into prison and threatened for nothing else but to further the interest of Umno. Well, after all Umno is above the law and the constitution. With their “ketuanan” and supremacist power, they are able to do whatever they want and even the police cannot question their privilege and powers. Very soon, with Umno still at helm, our nation will turn into a lawless nation and it had just started in Perak.

Therefore, we urge Pakatan Rakyat state governments of Kedah, Penang, Selangor and Kelantan, beware! Umno may launch a coup d’etat to topple your administrations too. They had done it in Perak and they will do so in your states.

Democracy in our nation had been degraded. Let us seek aid from the international community to scrutinize our federal government and check the imbalances, injustice and irregularities experienced by our people here.

Black 7 May in Perak

Yesterday was the darkest ever chapter in Perak and we are sure all our fellow Perakians also felt ashamed of what had happened in their state. First our legitimate state government has been overthrown, then our democratic platform i.e. the state legislative assembly building has been sealed off and our state assemblymen were prevented from any sitting, and now our legitimately elected Speaker has been violently removed from his position.

All these undemocratic, unprincipled, unconstitutional and barbaric acts were carried out by none other than the United Malays National Organization or better known as Umno. They toppled a state government elected by the people and established a rebel state government to administer the state with an iron fist. All opposition to the rebel administration has been curbed with mass arrest of Pakatan Rakyat leaders and elected representatives to prevent them from channeling the truth to our people.

With the backing from the federal security forces, the Umno-led rebel state government had also censored all news reports which are deemed critical to their unlawful administration and established false news and reports in order to cheat the people and provide inaccurate information to the nation. They tried their very best to cover as many truth as possible.

The Umno-led rebel state government is now terrorizing the people in Perak, threatening them with arrest, charges under seditious law, penal codes, or even ISA so no one would dare voice their opposition or discontent towards the rebel administration.

The Umno-led rebel state government under rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir called the Pakatan Rakyat “biadap” during his press conference yesterday. We wish to respond to his statement by calling him and his lackeys “kurang ajar” and “banjingan” for their arrogance, violence, threats and their use of force against the will of our people.

We are not being rough towards anyone here, but we simply could not find any suitable word to describe these Umno men other than “kurang ajar” and “banjingan” because this is what they are. They had in fact already destroyed the entire democratic institution and the constitution of the state by launching a coup d’etat to topple the people’s state government elected on 8 March 2008. These Umno men were infact worst then animals and do not even fit to be apes as well. They are all inhuman because there are no sense of humanity in them.

Therefore, what did our dear friend Wong Chin Huat said “wear black” is accurately correct. Everyone of us should continue our silent protest by wearing black shirts, black t-shirts, black pants, black hats, black caps, black armbands or you can even raise a black flag to commemorate the death of democracy in Perak and the beginning of dictatorship in our beloved nation.

As long as Umno is still in power, Democracy Rest in Peace.

Perak 7 May sitting illegal

The Perak state assembly sitting which is scheduled on 7 May is deemed illegal because of three major reasons and if this session proceeds, then those Umno coup plotters are making a fool of the state constitution and the people of the state.

We wish to inform our fellow Perakians that the Perak state assembly sitting which is scheduled on 7 May is deemed illegal because: -

1) It was called by a Rebel State Government who seized power from the Legitimate State Government on last February.
2) The Speaker V.Sivakumar was not aware of the sitting, where in actual fact he should be the first person to be informed of the plan.
3) The signatory of notice to call for the state assembly sitting was suspended assembly secretary Abdullah Antung. Therefore, whatever documents signed by an official who is suspended from his position is considered null and void.

We urge our fellow Perakians to stand up steadfastly to protest and condemn these illegal, undemocratic and unconstitutional acts by Umno and its BN lackeys.

Zambry may use force

The Perak Umno-led rebel state government under the leadership of Dr Zambry Abd Kadir had planned to table a motion at the state assembly sitting scheduled on 7 May to oust Speaker V.Sivakumar from his seat and replace him with a member of the rebel coalition (BN).

As speaker, Sivakumar has the right to reject the motion as did the Dewan Rakyat speaker who often rejects motions table by our members of parliament.

The real concern here is, if Sivakumar decides to reject the motion by Dr Zambry to oust him, will the rebel menteri besar forcefully evict Sivakumar from his seat? There is certainly a possibility as much preparation has been made by Umno and its rebel state government to prepare for the event on 7 May.

The presence of the federal security force and police personnel had been doubled in all over major towns and cities in the state is a sign the rebel state government is determine to seize total control over the administration of the state ever since the Umno coup plotters overthrown the legitimate state government and sealed the state assembly building.

If the 7 May plan proceeds, this will be the third coup plot against a legitimate position of an official elected to serve the state. The first coup was launched to topple the legitimate state government and later Umno launched a second coup with the help of the police and security forces to confiscate and seal the state assembly building in order to prevent the state assemblymen from discharging their duties of the state.

And when the 7 May coup comes into action, is the rebel state government going to declare a state of emergency and detain all Pakatan Rakyat state leaders under the internal security act (ISA)? There is a possibility it might happen as the Umno coup plotters are now desperate and wanted to hold on to power despite mass protest from the people of the state.

By detaining all Pakatan Rakyat state leaders would also help them to curb the rising influence of the new coalition in order for Umno to tighten their grip in the state.

Third coup d’etat expected in Perak

Another coup d’etat is expected to take place in Perak on 7 May next month when the state assembly sitting is to be convened by the Perak rebel menteri besar Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.

Why do we see this as another coup attempt? Because Dr Zambry and his rebel state government wanted to overthrow the state assembly speaker V.Sivakumar with unconstitutional and undemocratic means. Sivakumar as speaker was not notified at all on the planned state assembly sitting on 7 May organized by the rebel state government.

That means in their motion to convene the state assembly proceeding, the speaker does not exist at all. Dr Zambry had in fact taken over the role of the speaker from Sivakumar and this action clearly shows disrespect on the normal democratic process and totally unconstitutional. Besides, it was also reported that Dr Zambry and his rebel state government also planned to oust Sivakumar when the state assembly convene on 7 May.

First of all is this state assembly legal? It is an illegal one as the speaker was sidelined from the entire process and proceedings, from planning, administration, notification right down to documentations. There is no justice at all now in Perak, which is now under the dictatorship of the rebel state government led by Umno.

Umno supremacist had reign control all over Perak now. They are above the law and they can do anything they like according to their wish and so on. With Umno in power now in Perak, the drug-related ecstasy pills business which being managed by Umno Grik division is also fast expanding.

The second coup d’etat previously was Perak Umno mobilized their supporters and with the assistance of the federal security forces stormed the state assembly building and prevented our state assemblymen from convening a sitting despite being called by the speaker. By storming and confiscating the state assembly building at that time means denying the democratic rights of the state assemblymen and the people who had voted in their representatives to speak for them.

Well, every one of us knew what was the first coup d’etat like. It happened when three state assemblymen from Pakatan Rakyat became independent, and the Perak Umno state assemblymen quickly convened their state assembly sitting at the Perak Umno headquarters which is chaired by their self-proclaimed “speaker” Najib Razak, because they did not want the lawful speaker Sivakumar to step into the Perak Umno building. The result of the state assembly sitting in the Perak Umno headquarters was a no-confidence motion was passed by all the Umno state assemblymen together with the three recently turned independent state assemblymen, which toppled the elected Perak state government under the leadership of Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin.

Therefore, when the third coup d’etat takes place on 7 May, Perak Umno is expected to mobilize their radicals and the federal security forces again to prevent the democratic rights from taking its place in Perak. Democracy is already dead in Perak. A ruthless rebel state government is now in charge.

Pressure piles on T'ganu MB to step down

Malaysiakini ~ Eighteen of the 24 Barisan Nasional-Umno elected representatives in the state are now pushing for the unpopular Ahmad Said to relinquish his post as Mentri Besar of Terengganu.

Looks like a civil war in within BN-Umno is ongoing. They rebel against their own leadership in the state. BN-Umno not only have to face Pakatan Rakyat but they will have to face their rivals from within their party as well which is indeed more tense.

Well, let them fight to their death.

BN (Umno) rebels move to oust Terengganu MB

Malaysiakini ~ 10 BN (Umno) backbenchers did not turn up at Terengganu state assembly sitting today in a move related to their bid to oust Menteri Besar Ahmad Said.

Then later today, the 10 BN (Umno) rebels who ‘boycotted’ the Terengganu state assembly sitting yesterday, turned up at the morning sitting today after being warned by Umno president Najib Razak that stern action would be taken against them.

It seems that the rebellion had failed to materialised because of the threat from the party's top leadership and those rebels have to bow down in order to maintain their positions and wealth.

Anyway, this is Umno's civil war and if they want to fight, just let them hate, hate, fight, fight and fight to their last drop of blood. They are all fond of these.
