Najib: Talks won’t be at expense of non-Muslims

We are supposed to trust our leaders, as we need faith in them to lead the nation towards better tomorrow.

But how could we trust a Flip-Flop King’s statement. He said he doesn’t know the Mongolian lady, after a short while he said “NO! I did meet her”. He said he doesn’t the guy who claimed to be sodomized, but suddenly he said “NO! I met him before”.

From now on, we should say “NO” to whatever he says. Fair and square!

Raja Petra arrested, charged in court

Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin, 58, was arrested today and charged for defaming Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, and two others.

Editor: If one read newspaper not long ago, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak’s wife said she will not take action against Raja Petra, but less than a month, such decision is rebuked. Can you trust what politician or their spouse said?

You can catch Raja Petra and put him in jail, but there are many Raja Petra out there. One can never destroy justice, if yes, he destroys the country as well. I am very sad to see the dead of justice and democracy in my lovely homeland – Malaysia.

Mahathir: There’s a concerted campaign against Najib [with Editor's Comment]

KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is convinced that there is a concerted campaign against Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and that “somebody is behind it” besides Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The former prime minister said he could not understand why the Deputy Prime Minister was coming under constant attack, adding that he believed the allegations against Najib were all hearsay.

“There is a concerted campaign against Najib. I don’t know why. Not just by Anwar but also by this other chap (Malaysia Today editor) Raja Petra (Kamaruddin) and also a number of others.

“Somebody is working behind this, maybe to undermine Najib’s possibility of challenging the Prime Minister,” he said after calling on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is here to attend the 6th Developing Eight Nations Summit.

Dr Mahathir said there was no proof to the allegations against Najib.

“You can’t just say that I heard somebody did this. This is not proof,” he said.

Dr Mahathir said he could not understand why his former deputy (Anwar) was “going after Najib” when it was not the latter who reported on Anwar’s behaviour.

“I think he has always been attacking Datuk Najib. Maybe he thinks that Najib is standing in his way of becoming the Deputy Prime Minister or even the Prime Minister,” he said, adding that Anwar could never join Umno again as the party would not accept him.

Editor: We need evidence to prove Dr. Mahaitir statement is valid, isn’t? There is no proof to show that Najib is not involved or related in the scandal at all.

The philosophy of DPM of Malaysia

You don’t get anything clean without getting something else dirty (by Cecil Baxter)

Don’t you agree after you see how he handles the scandal of the Mongolian lady and Bala?!

Bala has no credibility, says Najib – Press Interview

I always like to see and hear how leader behave. You certainly will know some piece of Najib’s mind after went through the following article. Judge yourself if he is a material for Prime Minister of Malaysia?

PEKAN: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has denied being involved in private investigator P. Balasubramaniam’s retraction of his first statutory declaration.

“I have no knowledge of anything.

“I had to make a strong denial before this as it was not an issue of seeking the truth but a political ploy to influence public perception,” he said, adding that he would not seek legal redress on the matter or hide behind an injunction.

Editor: Only heaven knows…

“His retraction means he has no credibility in whatever he said earlier,” Najib said after opening the Peramu Jaya 3 Rukun Tetangga scheme here yesterday.

Editor: When you pointing others with a finger, the other FOUR fingers are pointing at yourself! It’s so true…

On Friday, Balasubramaniam made a second statutory declaration and withdrew what he had said on Thursday on Najib’s involvement with Mongolian murder victim Altantuya Shaarribuu.

Najib said the statutory declaration should not have been made in the first place and Malaysian politics had reached a stage where people were employing dirty tactics, including disregarding the country’s laws.

“Those involved are making a mockery of the country’s laws.

Editor: Who is the one who really making a mockery of the country’s laws??!!

“They are not afraid. Maybe, there is a motive and a bad intention or perhaps, (they were) offered a carrot to initiate the move.

“I also regret that an opposition leader was involved in the matter that touched on an on-going trial.”

“The fate of three men are in the hands of the court over a very serious criminal charge,” he said, adding that the case should not be politicised.

Najib said that although the issue caused an adverse effect on his image, he had to face it somehow.

Editor: A dishonest CEO can ruin a company; a non-creditable leader can destroy a country!!

“Slander is not something new but in the age of ICT, it can spread much faster and wider.

“As such, the people must strengthen their belief and make a conclusion with the right frame of mind,” he said.

On the concept of Bangsa Malaysia, Najib said it would be a reality if all the races have respect for one another.

Editor: There is nothing racial over here. Bala is a Malaysian and he has right to tell the truth. Why do you want to attribute such statutory declaration as RACIAL?! You are RACIAL indeed. So sad…

When you said politic is dirty, but your politic is so RACIAL. So outdated!

“We must watch our words, language and conversation so as not to offend the feelings of others.”

Statutory Declaration by Raja Petra

We need more people like “Raja Petra” in our society. Raja Petra – you deserve our salute!

Malaysia’s opposition leader faces familiar allegations

Malaysia’s opposition leader faces familiar allegations

AFP

WHY did Malaysia’s main opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, take sanctuary in the Turkish embassy in Malaysia’s capital on Sunday June 29th? In an interview on Monday, shortly before he left the embassy again, Mr Anwar asserted that he had legitimate fears for his safety, after elements in the establishment formulated a set of sodomy allegations against him, charges which in his view were trumped up in response to his rising popularity. Some in the government feel “under siege” says Mr Anwar, as the ruling National Front coalition looks as if it might be on the verge of losing power for the first time since the country gained independence in 1957.

Rising prices for food and fuel, among other goods, have stoked public anger. This month the government cut fuel subsidies, lifting the price of petrol by 41% and diesel by 63%. Scandals that loom over several leading public figures may also explain why the government is falling out of favour. All this has left the government in an “untenable position”, according to Mr Anwar. Voters have already shown their dissatisfaction by punishing the ruling coalition in elections in March. Mr Anwar suggests that it is now only a matter of weeks or months before parliamentary defections bring down the government.

Therefore the latest police statement announcing the investigation of fresh sodomy allegations against Mr Anwar was seen by many observers as politically motivated. Mr Anwar claims that the investigation is an attempt to prevent him from making political moves, expected in the next few days, which might hurt the government more. He had been poised to announce that he would stand as a candidate in a by-election. And he suggests that four members of the ruling coalition were going to switch sides and come out in support of him.

In addition Mr Anwar had recently suggested that he possesses evidence of malpractice by two important state institutions—the Inspectorate General of Police and the attorney-general’s office—in respect of an earlier criminal case (also involving sodomy, as well as corruption) that was brought against him in 1998, when he was deputy prime minister. He was imprisoned for the crimes but was released in 2004 after the conviction for sodomy was overturned on appeal. But the conviction for corruption still stood, with the result he was barred from political office until April this year.

He says that some of the individuals involved in judicial or investigative malpractice back in 1998 still hold high office and that the police’s latest allegations seemed to have been designed to forestall fresh revelations about the previous case.

Abdullah Badawi, Malaysia’s prime minister, insisted that the government was not behind the accusation and that there was no conspiracy “to cause [Mr Anwar] trouble or harass him or raise such issues to undermine him.”

Mr Anwar reckons that the authorities’ tactics would derail “for just a few days” the opposition’s hopes of taking power, but they were also likely to embarrass parliamentarians within the ruling coalition.

Wife of Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia: I will not take action against Raja Petra

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor who is the wife of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will not sue Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin for alleging her involvement in the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

“I have nothing to say. I have given my statement to the police and that’s it,” she said.

Asked if she would sue Raja Petra for defamation, she said she did not want to address unnecessary issues because she had other bigger things to attend to for the people and for the nation.

Asked why she would not address such a serious allegation, she said it did not matter.

“If you are innocent, what is there for you to address? I am not a politician and I am not running for any post. I’m just the wife of a politician,” she said Tuesday during the Asia-Pacific Conference on Children’s Book Publishing.

On whether it was true that bomb expert Col Aziz Buyong’s wife, Norhayati, was her aide, Rosmah said she was not.

“She was not my ADC (aide de camp). She was just an officer who did all my programmes. She is not with me now. She had a promotion and is back with Mindef (the Defence Ministry),” she said.

In his June 18 statutory declaration, Raja Petra alleged to have knowledge that two lieutenant colonels and Rosmah were present when Altantuya’s body was blown up on Oct 19, 2006.

Editor: Surprising news to me! I don’t see she should scale down the issue. Sue Rajah if he tell lie, that’s your right! Furthermore, you are wife to Deputy Prime Minister. Unless…
