Loh Gets Punched and Taib Hits Back

July 19, 2008 · Filed Under In the News, Thoughts · 1 Comment 

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.

Excerpts from the star;

‘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??

They always say that you should have faith in your own product and should be a user of your own product before selling it to the world, does the same apply if your in the government?

Education Minister, Datuk Seri Hishammudin Tun Hussein’s son is doing O’ levels and will be going off to the United Kingdom this coming September to further his studies.

Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s daughter, Nooryana Najwa has been accepted into Georgetown University in Washington DC to read politics and international relations after doing her IB (International Baccalaureate).

Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein and Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s children are academically smart. However, it seems like both of them did not sit for SPM.

Anwar’s Press Statement

July 17, 2008 · Filed Under In the News, Malaysia · Comment 

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.
