RM15 million ringgit pledge to Chinese schools is a bait for votes

I suggest to vote against BN so that by next GE or State Election, you can expect 100 times increase in allocation to SIBU in order to win back the hearts of SIBU PEOPLE. From RM18 mil to RM1.80 billion for SIBU is achievable if SIBU Chinese voters vote for DAP. If the voters bow down to Money this time, you will get no pledge next time. The trick is to with-hold the vote from BN this time and you can get more next time around!

PEOPLE's power is the real political game. PEOPLE are wise to control money and not let money be the masters over us. So voters can take the Money and vote wisely.

This comment from Kim Quek is down-to-earth and worth reading.

Quote

These are the headlines splashed on a Chinese newspaper on May 13 reporting on the Sibu parliamentary by-election campaigns:

“RM10 million for Chinese primary schools”

“RM5 million for Chinese independent secondary schools”

“RM3 million for Christian missionary schools”

The newspaper was reporting on a grand ceremony where Prime Minister Najib Razak handed over cheques for the above amounts to the respective representatives of these schools.

Najib said Barisan Nasional was the only “true friend” that Chinese educationists can count on. He further said:

“Please, I help you, you help me.”

“It won’t cost you anything to give us what we want. We will do what we should to give you what you want. And you know what I want.”

In their moment of jubilation over this once-in-a-lifetime titanic windfall of cash for the Chinese and Christian schools, the local community should perhaps ponder these questions:

· If there was no by-election, would these schools have received any of the above cash?

· Does anyone have the slightest doubt of what Najib wants from you as a trade off?

· Was it not absolutely clear to you that Najib was asking for your votes when he gave you the money?

After pondering over the above events for a few moments, it should not be too difficult for the average person to establish the following:

1. Najib was trying to solicit for your votes with the above cash hand-out.

2. The money does not belong to Najib or Barisan Nasional, but to the citizens of the country.

3. Such impromptu hand-out of cash with the ulterior motive to bribe for votes is an abuse of power in addition to committing corruption.

Now, what should we do with the prime minister who has just committed election bribery as well as abuse of power?

We can report his offence to the Election Commission (EC) and the police for them to take action against him.

Or we can take legal action like what Pakatan Rakyat leader Datuk Zaid Ibrahim is doing over similar offence in the recent Hulu Selangor by-election.

The first option did not seem to work, as the EC and police have always played deaf and blind to election offences committed by BN leaders.

The second option did not seem to have made an impression on Najib and his cohorts, otherwise Najib would not have so openly committed the same offence.

Fortunately, we have the third option which is also the most powerful and the most effective. And that is to cast your votes against those who try to bribe you.

The Chinese community in Hulu Selangor has just done it. Najib had offered to give RM3 million cash to the Rasa Chinese Primary School on condition that they voted for BN. Despite that tempting offer, over 80 per cent of the Chinese in Rasa voted against BN. They would rather sacrifice the much needed cash than to give up their principle.

And that principle is: Votes are not for sale. It is better to forego short-term benefits than to destroy our long term interests of struggling for a good government to replace the rotten one, a sample of which has been more than clearly illustrated by the conduct of the prime minister himself.

Granting a victory to BN in Sibu is to endorse the perverted principle that it is legally and morally acceptable to use money and other inducement to buy votes. And that would be the last nail to the coffin that has already virtually buried democracy in this country.

And so the people of Sibu have the wonderful opportunity of putting a stop to this nonsense and save our democratic way of life from extinction by casting their votes wisely.

Will Sibuans prove as valiant and as wise as their compatriots in Hulu Selangor?

Sodomy II: Court rejects stay appeal (Updated)

It seems to me that the Judge has been fixed and it is a conspiracy against Anwar. There is no justice in this trial. The case should be closed as it is a wastage of tax-payers' money.

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has failed to get the written statement of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan from the prosecution.

The High Court here ruled Wednesday that there was no contradiction on the part of Mohd Saiful over evidence that the sodomy incident had occured without his consent.

Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah said earlier that the Attorney-General had discretion to frame a lesser charge, although there was strong evidence against the person.

Anwar's lead counsel Karpal Singh has applied for a stay of the trial, pending an appeal over the dismissal of the application to supply Mohd Saiful's written statement to the defence.

The court stood down for an hour to decide over the stay appeal. The judge also reminded the parties over the existence of "contempt proceedings" in his court, and adjourned.

Court proceedings resumed at 11.05am.

The stay appeal was rejected by the court and Mohd Saiful will continue to testify.

Karpal submitted that the court would be in contempt if it ignored a Federal Court case law which required Anwar to file an affidavit first to apply for stay.

On Tuesday, Karpal applied for Mohd Saiful's statements recorded during the investigation of the sodomy case to be supplied to the defence for the purpose of cross-examination.

Karpal argued that the charge against Anwar under Section 377B of the Penal Code was for committing the sexual act with consent, while Mohd Saiful's evidence in court and his witness statements implied an alleged offence under Section 377C for a sexual act without consent.

He submitted that the defence had the right to have the statements to study the possibility of impeaching Mohd Saiful.

"Mohd Saiful stated in his police report that the incident took place without his consent. He confirmed this when he testified in court on Monday and he alleged the same thing today (Tuesday).

"This is not an ordinary case. The attention of the court is being directed to the contradiction and the court has to determine the discrepancies and decide over this.

"If we can prove that the witness lied in court, then we can impeach him," Karpal said.

Karpal contended that the issue of contradiction was being raised for the first time in Malaysian legal history.

Lead prosecutor Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden said there was no basis for the court to direct the prosecution to provide a copy of the statements to the defence.

He said the Attorney-General had the discretion when deciding to frame a lesser charge against Anwar.

Anwar, 63, claimed trial to sodomising 25-year-old Mohd Saiful, his former personal aide, at the Desa Damansara Condominium in Bukit Damansara on June 26, 2008.

Meanwhile, the trial was adjourned to Thursday after Karpal Singh told the court he had had filed a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal to to stay proceedings pending the appeal.

The judge said that the court would hear the application for the stay of proceedsings on Thursday.

How Christians should vote for this coming Sibu by-election on May 16, 2010

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ in Sibu

You have the obligation to live out to the example of our Lord Jesus Christ who preached and practised love, forgiveness and peace to all.

You love your Christian Bro. Lau Hui Yew and Christian Bro. Richard Wong Ho Leng because they are good man and potential Member of Parliament (MP) of Malaysia. They are both good people who deserve your love and care for them. So how do you decide and who do you vote for? Here are some of the principles which are based on the will of God and the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If you really love both of these 2 potential candidates for MP, you should not cause any one of them to sin or bring the curse upon them and their families to the third or fourth generations.

What sort of party and the alliance party each of them stand for? Bro. Robert Lau Jr stands on BN ticket while Bro. Richard Wong stands on DAP Ticket. DAP being an Opposition Party is not bad because they are the watchdog in the country to keep as "check and balance". SUPP being in power for the last 24 years consecutively have to prove if they have fulfilled all the promises they made to SIBU PEOPLE.

If SUPP had lie to SIBU PEOPLE for the last 24 years and yet you loved to vote for the liar then you are accountable to GOD on the Day of Judgment. You cannot excuse yourself for supporting evil and injustice by voting in some one who represent the party which had lied to the people and had not served the people with a sincere heart.

Here are the list of wrongs which SUPP have not helped to eradicate the evil in the land of SIBU. As Christians you are responsible for supporting an evil party or evil alliance who does not practice true democracy and justice in the country.

Stop having a naive mentality. You should support justice and truth and not be deceived by Devil or workers of Satan who do not practice what they preached.

Case 1 - Perak State govt was formed by 3 frogs bought over by corrupted men and racist alliance party with low mentality. PM should have restored justice and true democracy in Perak by dissolving the State Assembly and call for a fresh election to restore public confidence. Did SUPP voice out against injustice???

Case 2 - Altantunya was blown up by C4 from corrupted men from party who were greedy for money and judge was fixed for the case. Did SUPP practice justice in this case???

Case 3 - Teoh Beng Hock was murdered by people who wanted to wrestle the power from the state govt. Did SUPP practice justice in this case???

Case 4 - Churches were burnt or damaged by people of the same color who hated Christians. Did SUPP champion for the rights of Christians in Sibu and Malaysia???

Case 5 - Anwar was framed of Sodomy charges by people who hated him for his success to mastermind and usher the victory in the last GE. Saiful confessed that he met with Najib and police officers before lodging the police report and going for medical examination. These are proof of conspiracy against Anwar. Did SUPP condemn the PM for framing false charges against Anwar???

Case 6 - SUPP has failed to set up the university in Sibu promised to SIBU PEOPLE during the last 24 years! SIBU PEOPLE had been cheated for so many years. What do you as Christian show love and kindness to people who have lied to you and your children???

Do you call such party has Action, Ability & Accountability? 24 years of history has proved that SUPP had failed again and again to voice out for SIBU PEOPLE. A MP for a party which has no voice in the BN Alliance is akin to a PUPPET MP who can merely bow down to pressure of the big brother. Look at Prophet Daniel in the Bible, did he bow down to political pressure? No. So those so-called Christian MPs have not lived up to the example of Prophet Daniel.

If you love Bro. Robert Lau so that he will not commit the sin of hypocrisy and lies, then do not vote him in for the MP post. Vote for DAP as Bro. Richard Wong has gut to speak out in the Parliament for SIBU PEOPLE. If you cause Bro. Robert Lau to sin, then you are accountable of his sin because you failed to lead him away from dirty political alliance that he works for.

Lord Jesus Christ preached love and not hatred against your fellow brothers and sisters or neighbours.

Mat 5:43  You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy."
Mat 5:44  But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you,
Mat 5:45  so that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven. For He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Likewise I love Bro. Robert Lau and a secret friend of him. Because I love him that I will not vote for him as it may cause him to sin because the party in the BN Alliance is not corruption free, not practising justice in the judicial system, no justice in the police force and no good education system that is quota-free and true equality for all races.

Mat 22:37  Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Mat 22:38  This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39  And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Mat 22:40  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.


Parable of the Good Samaritan and the Jewish man who was robbed and wounded.

Luke 10:30  And answering, Jesus said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothing and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

Luke 10:36  Then which of these three, do you think, was neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?
Luke 10:37  And he said, The one doing the deed of mercy to him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.


Lord Jesus meant all your neigbours are different races such as Muslims, Ibans, Melanaus and Chinese around you. You have to love them. So the Alliance of PAS, PR and DAP are people who truly love their neighbours in the country. These are lovely people whom you must love and not despise.


Do not hold back the salary due to your brother.

In this case DAP is a watchdog for SIBU People for the last 24 years and Bro. Richard Wong has weathered through the years to see that SIBU will continue to be developed by the State and Federal government. If not for DAP, do you see the PM and top VIPS from Peninsular coming over to SIBU these few days for campaigning in the by-election? I bet you cannot see them flying over to SIBU so frequently or willingly after the by-election - common excuse is busy!

SIBU PEOPLE are the MASTERS who decide for the next MP for SIBU. You are "masters" must pay for the what is due to your "Servant" you choose to represent you.

Col 4:1  Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

As Christians or allegorically "masters" who decide  the Servant to be elected for the MP post, you have to give to your Servant that which is just and equal. DAP Richard Wong has served as watchdog for the last 24 years. Does he deserve to be paid by a vote from you this time? May God guide your conscience as true Christians who obey the commandments of God without question.

1Tim 6:1  Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
1Tim 6:2  And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
1Tim 6:3  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness

I wish you have the wisdom from God to guide you as whom you should vote for.


With blessings of the Almighty Jehovah God.

Amen!

RM600 for vote-buying in Sibu by-election

Wednesday May 12, 2010

Good news for 246 families

SIBU: Some 246 families living in an under-developed region in Sungai Igan near here will receive a total of RM147,600 as a one-off allocation from the Federal Government.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said he had just received word that each of the families would receive RM600.

"The Prime Minister just informed me that he had approved the assistance for families from all the 12 longhouses in this area.

"Barisan Nasional is concerned about all people regardless of where they are living.

"Over the past 20 years, I have been visiting longhouses in the state but still, it is not possible for me to visit everyone.

"There is still a lot of work to do and the longhouse people must continue to remain loyal to Barisan," he said at Rumah Daniel, Tanjung Penasu, located along Sungai Igan.

He said in the eyes of Barisan, everyone was equal and deserved equal treatment.

However, those who are weaker need more help, he added.

"Our commitment is to help everybody so that they will one day be able to enjoy the same standard of living, whether they are from the rural areas or the urban areas," he said.

Taib also promised the longhouses there that he would give them generator sets if they did not have any electricity supply yet.

However, he said the state government did not have enough funds to give to every settlement immediately and that these development funds need to be channelled in stages.

During his visit, the longhouse elders told Taib that their settlements were badly affected by floods every year.

The roads were in bad shape and needed repair and upgrading urgently, they said, adding that other basic amenities like water and electricity were still lacking.
