Loh Gets Punched and Taib Hits Back
Its all over the papers today, MP of Kelana Jaya ,Loh Gwo Burne got hit on his face by a personal assistant of Seri Setia assemblyman Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad after a ground-breaking ceremony for a place of worship at Desa Mentari. Residents living in the area had protested against the construction of the building. like every other efficient Pakatan MP, Loh went to the scene to resolve the issue.
‘Who was responsible for this?’ I must have asked him about 10 times and pointed at him saying that, ‘You as a PA should know’. That was when he punched me in the face above my right eye,”
In my view, its no big deal…At least the politicians and aide’s are beating up each other over a issue that should be resolved and not beating up each other for power or money!!
On a another note,
Former Selangor Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib toke a opportunistic maneuver and hit out at the little drama that unfolded. A separate report from The Star said that The current Selangor Government has lost control. Some interesting points to take out from the report :
“It is clear that Selangor became successful because of the wisdom of its (previous) leaders and its members”
“During Barisan Nasional’s administration, since 1957, there were never incidences about fighting over places of worship.
“We usually resolved everything through a consensus. We allowed churches, temples, mosques and all … but now they have to get physical about it,” he said.
Muhammad added that this shows that the new Government has failed in controlling its people.
“It is clear that Selangor became successful because of the wisdom of its (previous) leaders and its members.
“But now, with the new Government, there are some people fighting for power while some quarters feel inferior about their positions,” said Muhammad
I personally feel that its actually pretty ok for party members to argue and have misunderstanding over such issues as it shows that they are genuinely concerned and doing their job.
Maybe they should have done it behind close doors instead of taking it to the streets.
Latest update by Malaysiakini indicated that a apology has been made by the aide of Nik Azmi and Loh has accepted his apology like a true gentlemen.
On Dato Seri Anwar’s reason arrest,
Muhammad said the real victim was the accuser Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
“But now it looks like someone else has become the victim and people do not care about Saiful and his family.
“We should defend him because he was the one who was assaulted,” he said.
Looks like he has already decided that Saiful was the victim ,wonder how he knows??

Anwar’s Press Statement
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA; JULY 17, 2008
On Saturday, 12-07-2008, the police came to my house to serve a Section 111 Criminal Procedure Code notice, harassing my family and demanding my presence at the IPK Kuala Lumpur (Federal Territories Police headquarters) at 2pm on Monday, 14-07-2008 despite an earlier agreement with my lawyers for me to come to the IPK on Monday 14-07-2008. On the next day, Sunday, the police also served an ex-parte court order, prohibiting me from physically being within 5 km from the Parliament on Monday 14-07-2008. As you can see, my house and the IPK KL are within 5 km radius from the parliament building. The court order effectively put me under house arrest on Monday and at the same time prevented me from going to the IPK.

RPK To be Charged
Malaysiakini reported that homegrown blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin is to be charged with criminal defamation tomorrow - he will have to first report to the Kuala Lumpur contingent police headquarters (IPK) at 10am.
Excerpts from Mkini reported :
Raja Petra said the police had contacted his lawyer J Chandra this morning, for information on how to contact him.
“They did not have my number, so I called them back and was told to report to the ninth floor of the IPK. They also said I would be charged for criminal defamation,” he said.
Asked if he had been expecting this, he replied: “Of course, I am not worried about what is to come, not at all.”
This is one man wih guts! He stands up for his words and is not afraid to face the music. Anwar yesterday, RPK today and who else?
BN’s biggest threats in the political arena is behind bars and the biggest online threat is on his way today. I hope that there are proper grounds for these arrest and the due diligence is done and not politically motivated.
The worlds spot light is on the Malaysian political scene now and for what its worth, i hope we keep our integrity in place during this episode
