I got into Petaling Jaya at about 3 am this morning after the phenomenon of “ocean of black” both from the capacity and roaring crowd at the thank-voters DAP Ipoh ceramah at Chin Woo Hall and the equally-matched crowd, both in numbers and commitment to vision for a new Malaysia, outside Chin Woo last night.

Parliamentary reforms should be top agenda of the 13th Parliament. Some proposals: Firstly, the Parliamentary Opposition Leader should be given Ministerial status as a major commitment to promote and advance parliamentary democracy in Malaysia. The allowance of the Parliamentary Opposition Leader should be comparable to that of a Cabinet Minister together with all the perks [...]
During a webinar I hosted featuring Evanna Phoon and Chris Foong (Senior Manager of Rockwills Advisory Services), I asked the question: “According to Foong’s past experience dealing with over 40+ multi-billion/millionaires, what is the most common concern of a high-level individual?”
You can watch the video below on Chris Foong’s sharing:
Chris Foong: Actually one of the main and most common concerns , I think you have heard of it, is the Spendthrift Beneficiaries.
KCLau: Oh, that means that one of the heirs will be spending a lot of money.
Chris: Exactly. Let’s say they have a little four or five children, or two, three children for example. The tendency is that one of them will be like that. I mean throughout experience, this is quite real, in the real world I would say. That tendency actually gives some sort of problem if no proper planning is being done.
Of course, let’s say if a client has a multi-billion dollar kind of business empire, you may not want to transfer the shares to such a beneficiary. So, there is proper planning that needs to be done.
We most commonly use a type of a structural trust fund, whereby at the death of the testator of course you will not want to neglect this child. We still want to benefit this child. But, do not want this child to own a lump sum arrangement straightaway.
Maybe, it will be done in staggered payments or we can even design incentives. For example, say if you would like to look at this much allowance or whatever from the trust fund, every month, or year, or whatever it is. You will need to work or prove to us that you have capability of generating income or a way to match that. Otherwise, you will just be given a very minimum kind of allowance just to sustain your living expenses.
Definitely not giving him a big amount at one go.
KCLau: So, this is setting up rules saying that if you are making ten thousand a month, then you’ll get a certain allowance, let’s say another ten thousand from the trust, or something like that.
Chris: Yes, something along that line.
KCLau: Iff the beneficiary is not working, the trust maybe will just pay him…
Chris: A minimum amount.
KCLau: An amount, say, two thousand or three thousand a month.
Chris: Exactly. Correct. And this little worry actually leads on to another worry. Assuming that your child is actually already married or with children, most of the time, the grandparents are worried. I’m like this. I’m also worried that my grandchildren are not taken care of. So, that’s why.
KCLau: I see. How do you arrange that? How do you arrange for the grandchildren to get more money or benefit than the parents?
Chris: Sometimes they will invest on this type of trust called Generation Skipping Trust.
KCLau: Skipping? Generation Skipping?
Evanna: Yeah, they skip the parents.
Chris: Actually in simple terms, it’s just really something for the grandchildren. Again, this something could be cash or it could be an entitlement to shares in the business.
This will be in a proper structure. Whether it will be in the form of a trust or foundation, we will need to look at the customer concerns before we can advise. But definitely these are very real, true worries.
In fact, if you ask me, one of the other common worry I think I should tell you now…
KCLau: Okay, good.
Chris: It also includes the family members that are not in good terms. These are quite common as well.
KCLau: Not in good terms. For example?
Evanna: Internal fighting.
KCLau: Oh.
Chris: Yeah, brothers fighting for roles to be played in the business itself.
Evanna: Sibling rivalry.
Chris: Sibling rivalry is quite common as well. Some of worries like, “I have no problem benefitting my son or my daughter. My worry is that when I pass on, and the spouse will re-marry. I don’t want my inheritance to be given to them, you know, the in-laws, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and eventually benefitting also their in-laws. That is also one of the worries.
And another will be protection. That’s right – protection. I have a client, of course, I can’t mention names, but he is definitely a high-level client. He actually set up a living trust whereby he transferred almost 30 million worth of insurance into the trust. This living trust is actually an irrevocable living trust.
Why is it called that? It is because after five years of setting up this trust, assuming the entire transaction is done without any fraud and depending on what will happen to the client himself, he does not need to worry about creditors coming to claim from him over the sum of the insurance proceeds. That’s also one of the main benefits of setting up a trust.
KCLau: Oh, great. So, what you are saying is that one of your clients actually transferred or assigned about 30 million worth of insurance into a living trust, and it is irrevocable. Irrevocable means, it cannot be cancelled, right? Once that’s done, it’s already done.
Chris: Right.
KCLau: So, after five years if he’s got a creditor who want to chase over the money, they cannot touch the trust money.
Chris: Yes.
KCLau: That’s very suitable for those kinds of business which is engaging in quite high risk trading or something.
Chris: Exactly.

What’s the Most Common Concern of High Net Worth Individuals? is a post from: KCLau.com
Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 10.5.2013
DAP’s urgent priority of polls reform that respects the “one-man, one-vote,one-value” principle will not be undermined by BN’s underhand tactics to try to split up PR by inviting DAP to join BN as DAP’s struggle is for principles not positions, for people-centric policies and not personal interests. Clearly BN’s latest tactics is designed to split up the unity within PR.
DAP has no interest in joining BN for posts because if we had wanted to, we could have done so during the last 40 years. However DAP refused to join BN and held steadfastly to our ideals, principles and policies of a fairer, freer and democratic Malaysia. DAP leaders had not only forgone the perks and privileges of high office, but sacrificed their personal liberties by being jailed and detained.
If DAP leaders can hold firm and steadfast when we lost in general elections, there is no doubt that DAP can do the same now when we have won the highest number of seats in our history of 38 Parliamentary and 107 state seats. This suggestion of DAP joining BN made by one MCA MP and one racist ex-UMNO Minister is clearly designed to undermine PR’s campaign to seek polls reform and split up the unity within PR.
The urgency of polls reform is highlighted by the travesty of justice of PR winning the popular vote in the 13th General Elections but yet losing government to BN. How can BN win power in Perak when PR won 55% of the popular vote? Similarly how can BN continue to be the Federal government when PR won 51% of the popular vote, an increase of 3% popular vote that allowed PR to gain only 7 parliamentary seats from 82 to 89.
Such injustice and underhanded tactics is most pronounced in Perak when PR won 52% of the popular vote in 2008 general elections and managed to win power with 31 state seats against 28 for BN. During this general elections, PR won even more popular votes in Perak this time with 55% and yet won only 28 state seats against BN’s 31. In both the Federal and Perak governments, we have a minority BN government or a minority Prime Minister and minority Perak Menteri Besar heading the administration.
Any talks of co-operation must be done through PR and not through individual parties. PR is willing to co-operate with BN to implement polls reform to reflect the unhappiness of the majority of Malaysians who voted for change and yet discover that despite winning the popular vote, they can not throw out BN.
Before this call to DAP to join BN, there have also been similar calls to PAS to join BN with UMNO for a unity government. All this is done when UMNO is demonizing both DAP and the Chinese community for daring to oppose and vote against BN. Malaysians are no longer stupid and will not allow BN to racialize national issues.
Instead every matter should be discussed and decided on merits that is not race-based but needs based. This is the new paradigm shift of this general elections – that the people are sick and tired of race-based and extremist politics as well as a clear preference for people-centric policies that makes a difference to the lives of ordinary Malaysians.
Let us prove that the power of the people is more powerful than those people in power!

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 10 Mei 2013.
Tuntutan Reformasi Pilihanraya DAP Yang Menghormati Prinsip ‘Satu Orang, Satu Undi, Satu Nilai’ Tidak Akan Dilemahkan Dengan Taktik Kotor BN Untuk Cuba Memecahbelahkan Pakatan Rakyat Dengan Menjemput DAP Menyertai BN Kerana Perjuangan DAP Adalah Demi Prinsip Bukan Jawatan, Demi Polisi Mesra Rakyat Dan Bukan Kepentingan Peribadi.
Tuntutan reformasi pilihanraya DAP yang menghormati prinsip ‘satu orang, satu undi, satu nilai’ tidak akan dilemahkan dengan taktik kotor BN untuk cuba memecahbelahkan Pakatan Rakyat dengan menjemput DAP menyertai BN kerana perjuangan DAP adalah demi prinsip bukan jawatan, demi polisi mesra rakyat dan bukan kepentingan peribadi. Jelas sekali taktik terkini BN itu dirangka untuk memecahkan perpaduan Pakatan Rakyat.
DAP tidak berminat langsung untuk menyertai BN demi jawatan, kerana jika kami mahu, kami telah buat begitu 40 tahun lalu. Namun DAP tetap enggan menyertai BN dan berpegang teguh kepada idealisme, prinsip dan polisi ke arah Malaysia yang lebih adil, bebas dan demokratik. Pemimpin DAP bukan sahaja telah mengorbankan keistimewaan dan kemewahan jawatan tinggi, malah telah mengorbankan kebebasan sendiri sehingga dikurung dan dipenjara.
Sekiranya pemimpin DAP boleh berpegang teguh dan bersatu hati di saat ia kalah dalam pilihanraya, tidak sangsi lagi bahawa DAP akan tetap bersatu hati sekarang ketika ia berjaya memenangi jumlah kerusi tertinggi dalam sejarah parti, iaitu sebanyak 38 kerusi Parlimen dan 107 kerusi DUN. Cadangan untuk DAP menyertai BN ini dibuat oleh seorang Ahli Parlimen MCA dan seorang bekas menteri UMNO yang rasis; jelas bertujuan melemahkan kempen Pakatan Rakyat untuk menuntut reformasi pilihanraya dan memecahkan perpaduan Pakatan Rakyat.
Keperluan reformasi pilihanraya ini adalah sorotan daripada ketidakadilan dalam keadaan Pakatan Rakyat menang undi popular di PRU ke 13 tetapi tidak berjaya mendapat kuasa pentadbiran daripada BN. Bagaimana mungkin BN menang kuasa di Perak padahal Pakatan Rakyat menang 55% undi popular? Sama juga bagaimana BN terus berkuasa di Kerajaan Persekutuan padahal Pakatan Rakyat mendapat 51% undi popular, peningkatan 3% undi tersebut yang mebolehkan Pakatan Rakyat menambah 7 kerusi Parlimen daripada 82 ke 89.
Ketidakadilan dan taktik kotor sebegini jelas kelihatan di Perak apabila Pakatan Rakyat menang 52% undi popular pada tahun 2008 dan berjaya memenangi kuasa dengan 31 kerusi DUN berbanding 28 kerusi milik BN. Pada PRU kali ini, Pakatan Rakyat menang lebih banyak undi popular di Perak, kali ini dengan 55% namun hanya mendapat 28 kerusi berbanding 31 kerusi BN. Di kedua-dua kerajaan Persekutuan dan Perak, kita mempunyai kerajaan minoriti BN atau Perdana Menteri minoriti dan Menteri Besar Perak minoriti mengepalai kerajaan.
Sebarang rundingan kerjasama mestilah dijalankan melalui Pakatan Rakyat secara bersama dan bukan melalui individu atau parti secara individu.Pakatan Rakyat sedia bekerjasama dengan BN untuk melaksanakan reformasi pilihanraya bagi memperlihatkan kemarahan majoriti rakyat Malaysia yang telah mengundi untuk perubahan namun mendapati bahawa meskipun menang undi popular, mereka masih tidak boleh menjatuhkan BN.
Sebelum ada jemputan untuk DAP menyertai BN ini, telah pun ada jemputan serupa supaya PAS menyertai BN bersama UMNO untuk membentuk kerajaan perpaduan. Semua ini dilakukan ketika UMNO terus mencela DAP dan masyarakat Cina kerana berani melawan dan mengundi selain BN. Rakyat Malaysia sudah tidak bodoh lagi dan tidak akan membiarkan BN memainkan isu perkauman di peringkat nasional.
Sepatutnya setiap perkara mesti dibincangkan dan diputuskan berasaskan merit dan bukan dasar perkauman tetapi keperluan. Inilah dia anjakan paradigma baru dalam PRU kali ini – yang rakyat telah muak dan menyampah dengan politik perkauman sempit dan ekstrim, serta telah memilih dengan jelas polisi-polisi yang mesra rakyat dan mampu mengubah kehidupan rakyat Malaysia.
Marilah kita buktikan bahawa kuasa rakyat lebih berkuasa daripada mereka yang memegang kuasa!
LIM GUAN ENG

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年5月10日在吉隆坡发表声明：
行动党对于选举改革的迫切要求，是落实尊重“一人一票”的原则，这项努力绝不会被国阵邀请行动党加入国阵这种不光明手段来分裂民联而破坏，因为行动党的斗争是为了原则、民本政策，不是为了官位及个人利益。
行动党对于选举改革的迫切要求，是落实尊重“一人一票”的原则，这项努力绝不会被国阵邀请行动党加入国阵这种不光明手段来分裂民联而破坏，因为行动党的斗争是为了原则、民本政策，不是为了官位及个人利益。很明显地，国阵最新的伎俩就是分裂民联。
行动党没有兴趣为了官位加入国阵， 如果我们要这么做，早在40年前就加入国阵。反之，我们拒绝加入国阵，并坚持我们的理念、原则及政策，打造一个更平等、更自由及更民主的马来西亚。行动党领袖不只放弃担任高官的好处及特权，也牺牲个人自由、被判监及扣留。
如果我们在过去大选败选时可以坚持原则、坚定不移，没理由行动党现在做不到，我们 获得历史上最多议席，38个国会议席及107个州议席。建议行动党加入国阵的人士是马华国会议员及种族主义的前巫统部长，很明显地，这是国阵设计来破坏民联要求选举改革的诉求，并趁机分裂民联的党内团结。
选举改革的迫切性在第13届大选中更加突出，民联赢得多数票，但是却把政权输给国阵。当民联在霹雳州拥有55%的选票时，为何国阵可以赢得政权？同样地，让民联在全国获得51%的选票时，国阵怎么可以继续成为联邦政府？ 民联的得票率增加3%，却只增加7个国会议席，从82增加至89个国会议席。
如果不公正及不光明的手段在霹雳州最明显示，民联在2008年赢得52% 得票率及31个州议席，国阵赢得28个议度。本届大选中，民联赢得更高得票率达55%，但是只赢得28个州议席，国阵却获得31个州议席。在联邦及霹雳政府，我们有一个得少数票的国阵政府或少数票首相、以及少数票霹雳州州务大臣来领导政府。
任何关于合作的谈判必须通过民联进行，而不是通过个别政党。民联愿意与国阵合作推行选举改革，让选举改革反映大多数马来西亚人的不满，他们在投选改变后，却发现尽管民联赢得多数票，国阵却不用下台。
在这些人呼吁行动党加入国阵前，他们也曾呼吁伊斯兰党加入国阵，与巫统组成联合政府。在行动党及华裔选民勇敢反对国阵时， 巫统就妖魔化二者，接着就有人邀请行动党加入国阵。马来西亚人不再愚笨，绝不会让国阵将国家大事种族化。
相反地，我们必须在优点与需求的基础上讨论每一件事，而不是以种族为基础，这是这个大选的新模范转移。人们已经厌倦种族及极端政治，他们已经表现出他们更倾向于以民为本的政策、改变普通马来西亚人的生活。
让我们证明，人民的力量与掌权的人更强而有力！
林冠英

Mak bapak bergaduh, yang jadi mangsa ialah anak. Abang Nara pelik sungguh dengan Jimmy Shanley dan Suhaila ini. Mereka berdua tidak fikir ke kesan negatif yang dialami oleh anak mereka? Kesian sungguh si comel Zahrah Rania.
Walaupun mahkamah sudah memutuskan yang Jimmy Shanley mempunyai hak untuk bermalam bersama anaknya, Suhaila memberitahu yang dia merasakan Jimmy tidak ikhlas menjaga anak mereka. Kata Suhaila:-
Saya mahu proses menjaga Zahrah secara bersama dilakukan dengan ikhlas demi kebajikannya kerana tetapi saya merasakan Jimmy tidak ikhlas menjaga anak kami dan tidak pernah bertanya khabar tentangnya. Malah apabila saya maklumkan anak dimasukkan ke hospital pada 16 April lalu dia langsung tidak datang atau bertanya tentang kesihatan Zahrah. Tetapi sebaliknya dia boleh menghantar SMS marah-marah dan tidak menghiraukan mesej yang saya sampaikan mengenai tarikh hari lahir anak kami.
Buat pengetahuan anda, sehingga ke hari ini, Jimmy masih belum dapat berjumpa dengan anaknya walaupun mahkamah sudah membenarkan. Suhaila ada alasannya tersendiri mengenai perkara ini. Kata Suhaila lagi kepada Mstar Online:-
Saya membuat permohonan agar hak bermalam dengan Jimmy ditangguhkan hanya semata-mata kerana kesihatan dan kebajikan Zahrah. Malah perintah itu bukan dibuat secara kekal sebaliknya hanya sementara dia menguruskan dirinya memandangkan umurnya baru setahun 11 bulan. Tambahan pula Jimmy tinggal seorang diri dan dia selalu tiada di rumah. Malah keadaan rumahnya yang tidak terurus menyebabkan saya bimbang keselamatan anak.
Abang Nara rasa, kalau susah sangat nak jaga anak korang nie, baiklah bagi orang lain jaga. Ramai kot nak jaga budak comel macam Zahrah Rania nie. Patutnya Jimmy dan Suhaila bertolak ansur dan ikut sahajalah keputusan mahkamah. Orang kat luar sana berapa banyak yang berendam air mata kerana kahwin tak dapat-dapat anak. Ini korang bergaduh tak tentu pasal. Kesian anak korang yang mendapat impak negatif kerana pergaduhan anda berdua.

Abang Nara sedih juga sebenarnya apabila Tuan Guru Nik Aziz mengumumkan perletakan jawatannya sebagai Menteri Besar Kelantan. Namun Abang Nara faham faktor usia dan kesihatan menghalang TGNA untuk terus berkhidmat. Jadi sekarang, Kelantan sudah ada Menteri Besar dan barisan kepimpinan yang baru.
Abang Nara tak tahu mengapa Norman KRU ini suka sangat bercakap mengenai Kelantan. Semalam menerusi Harian Metro, Norman menyatakan harapannya terhadap pimpinan baru Kelantan. Kata Norman:-
Menerusi perubahan pucuk pimpinan baru di Kelantan, saya berharap rintihan artis tempatan didengar. Mungkin ada segelintir penduduk di sana mahukan persembahan terbuka dan segelintir tidak, tetapi saya mahu kerajaan pakatan pembangkang prihati terhadap industri hiburan tanah air. Di Pulau Pinang dan Selangor sebelum ini, tiada masalah dan adalah lebih baik dasar mereka ini menjadi konsisten.
Untuk pengetahuan Norman, orang Kelantan di Kelantan tidak berminat sangat dengan hiburan. Kalau ada, adalah. Kalau tak ada pun tak apa. Tapi kalau bab bola sepak jangan main-main. Mereka memang fanatik menyokong. Abang Nara rasa pucuk pimpinan Kelantan teruskanlah je apa yang diperjuangkan oleh TGNA selama ini. Tak perlu nak ubah banyak sangat. Tak gitu?

I have always been curious about these events. Yesterday night, I attended one. I knew it was going to be a mammoth gathering (from other sources, about 120,000 attended), thankfully I rode there. It was easier maneuvering the traffic with a motorcycle than a car.
Why Gather?
The General Election 13 is done and with BN once again, being the victor. However, there has been claims that there were cheating involved.
- Indelible ink – I was able to remove mine 30 minutes after election.
- Phantom voters – An ustaz was accused of trying to vote the second time. He arrived from Singapore at 4.30 pm. In the end he was able to cast his votes.
- Foreign voters – Bangladeshi was caught trying to cast vote, there are videos on this. Go find it yourself.
- Blackout – It was reported that a few sites experienced a black out. There’s already some proof that this did not happen but we can’t neglect this entirely.
- Recount Process – New Borang 14 surfaced during the recounting.
- Bribe – Some videos people receiving money from a Party’s vehicle
These are just theories until proven. Therefore we can’t deny any possibilities from either side, EC or candidates committing fraud. It is in our best interest to seek for truth.
Anwar Ibrahim claimed that there are close to 30 Parliament seats that was ‘robbed’ from the rakyat. PR intends to explore in this coming weeks. Until then, we just have to play the wait-and-see game.
People came by the dozens. Some even parked 2km just to avoid the traffic and some came as early as 3 pm. It became like a mini pasar malam.
From all walks of life. Cina Melayu India Singh, just name it.
We sat together, rubbing shoulders, passing around yellow ribbons, chanting and screaming. It was the best way for PR supporters to vent their angers.
I took the video of Anwar’s speech.
Proof I was there.
There are 4 areas I think this event can improve.
1. Trash was everywhere. I took sometime to collect these. I don’t understand people who wants CHANGE but doesn’t want to change their habit. When are they going to get it, you throw your own rubbish la!
2. Impatient People. Everyone was really hustling their way out pushing old folks and others. Relax la, be considerate.
3. Parking. It was hellish. Stadium Kelana Jaya is one messed up development area. There’s only one small entrance and exit for cars. It’s also along houses.
4. Smoking in the Stadium. I understand the urge to smoke, but please, hold it for 2-3 hours. And if want to smoke, don’t put it off on the bitumen track. That’s backwards thinking.
ps: I got home at 12. Kesian bini kerana tidak dapat turut serta.

Kenyataan Akhbar Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng Semasa Menyaksikan Upacara Mengangkat Sumpah Di Dewan Sri Pinang George Town Pada 9 Mei 2013.
Barisan EXCO pimpinan kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang 2.0 akan memperkasakan rakyat dengan pengetahuan dan pendidikan, memperkuasakan rakyat dengan hak dan tanggungjawab serta memperkayakan rakyat tanpa kira kaum, agama dan latar belakang politik. Saya percaya bahawa pasukan baru ini akan mencerminkan hasrat murni PR untuk bersuara untuk semua, bertindak adil kepada semua dan membantu semua.
Pada masa yang sama, saya ingin ucapkan terima kasih kepada 3 Ahli EXCO lama YB Law Choo Kiang, YB Wong Hon Wai dan YB Lydia Ong atas khidmat dan sumbangan yang diberikan kepada kerajaan negeri selama 5 tahun ini. Mereka terus akan diberikan peranan penting oleh kerajaan negeri untuk sama-sama menjadikan Pulau Pinang lebih bersih, hijau, sihat dan selamat.
Kerajaan negeri tidak akan mempersalahkan mana-mana pihak atas kemenangan parti pembangkang BN dalam 10 kerusi negeri dalam pilihanraya umum 13 yang lepas ini. Sebaliknya kerajaan negeri menghormati pilihan penyokong BN dan memberikan jaminan akan terus menjaga kebajikan mereka seperti rakyat Pulau Pinang lain.
Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang 2.0 menjaminkan akan bekerja keras untuk rakyat sebagai membalas sokongan rakyat daripada pengundi Melayu, Cina dan India yang meningkat daripada 58% undi dalam pilihanraya umum ke-12 kepada 66% dalam pilihanraya umum ke-13. Salah satu tumpuan adalah untuk menyekat peningkatan kejadian jenayah di Pulau Pinang seperti di Seberang Perai Tengah dengan memasang lebih banyak tiang lampu jalan dan CCTV. Lagi satu tumpuan adalah untuk membuat bayaran warga emas RM100 setahun mulai 18Mei 2013.
Marilah kita bersatu untuk menjadikan Pulau Pinang No. 1 di Malaysia sebagai negeri bertaraf antarabangsa dan pintar.

Siapakah Julian Schratter? Buat anda yang tidak tahu, Julian pernah dikaitkan mempunyai hubungan cinta dengan Yuna namun telah dinafikan. Sebelum ini, Yuna seringkali berkongsi gambarnya dan Julian menerusi Instagram. Untuk makluman, Julian adalah jurugambar peribadi Yuna.
Baru-baru ini, album EP terbaru Yuna berjudul Sixth Street telah pun dilancarkan. Sebuah akhbar berbahasa Inggeris telah mengeluarkan ulasan bahawa album tersebut kurang mengancam. Perkataan yang digunakan ialah “overdone and uninventive” menyebabkan Julian Schratter melahirkan rasa tidak puas hatinya melalui Instagram.
Kata-kata yang diluahkan oleh Julian ialah (selepas dialihbahasa):-
Saya terkesima seketika kemudian saya sedar bahawa saya membenci semua media Malaysia dan saya tidak ambil pusing apa yang mereka ingin katakan
Walaupun bukan Yuna sendiri yang mengeluarkan kenyataan di atas, namun kata-kata Julian sedikit sebanyak mengguris hati media Malaysia. Kepada Julian, muzik itu universal. Bukan semua orang boleh suka lagu teman rapat anda si Yuna ini. Kalau orang dah tak suka, pedulikanlah. Ramai lagi yang masih menggemarinya. Tak perlu mengeluarkan kata-kata sebegini. Info asal Kosmo Online.
UPDATE: Setelah membaca komen anda, kritikan yang dilemparkan adalah terhadap cover album EP ini yang memaparkan wajah Yuna dengan latar belakang putih. Gambar tersebut telah diambil oleh Julian. Kritikan penuh berbunyi “At first glance, the EP, which introduces her as Verve Records’ new signing, might strike some as underwhelming, as the CD cover (yes, even this can make or break the album) features yet another head-tilted, close-up self-portrait of the singer set against a white background. Overdone and uninventive, yes, but as the saying goes, don’t judge a book – or in this case, EP – by its cover.”.

Muka Sharifah Aini sememangnya sentiasa menjadi topik perbualan di kalangan peminatnya. Mana taknya, wajah terbaru Kak Pah kelihatan semakin berisi dan kembung. Sekali tengok memang macam Kak Pah ambil suntikan botoks. Nampak sembam semacam je muka Kak Pah.
Namun ternyata perkara tersebut tidak benar. Menurut Kak Pah, perubahan wajahnya berlaku kerana pengambilan steroid ekoran mengalami jangkitan paru-paru enam bulan lalu. Kata Kak Pah kepada Mstar Online:-
Memang muka Kak Pah kelihatan berisi dan mengembung kerana kesan daripada pengambilan steroid yang akan menyebabkan muka jadi ‘sembab’ dan bukannya kerana membuat apa-apa suntikan botoks ataupun lain-lain. Sebelum ini keadaan muka Kak Pah kelihatan lebih bengkak berbanding sekarang kerana pengambilan hampir 80 miligram steroid tetapi ia sudah beransur surut kerana pengambilan ubat tersebut telah dikurangkan kepada 5 miligram sahaja
Menurut Kak Pah, amalan penjagaan wajah sejak berusia 18 tahun menyebabkan wajahnya nampak jauh lebih muda berbanding usia. Kata Kak Pah lagi:-
Orang mungkin mempertikaikan perkara itu tetapi amalan saya yang menjaga wajah sejak muda banyak membantu dan memberi kesan kepada usia sekarang. Orang tidak tahu cerita, mereka mula menuduh perkara yang mereka sendiri tidak tahu keadaan sebenar. Tidak baik buruk sangka terhadap orang lain.
Abang Nara sekarang pun sedang mencuba untuk mendapatkan kulit wajah yang lebih halus dan mulus. Walaupun tak start penjagaan daripada umur 18 tahun macam Kak Pah, Abang Nara masih sempat untuk diri ini tampil lebih kacak. Kalau boleh diharap Kak Pah akan terbitkan buku untuk berkongsi teknik kecantikan yang diamalkan. Pasti ramai nak membacanya. Tak gitu?
P.S: Mahukan kulit jadi lebih halus, cerah dan berseri? Ingikan badan yang lebih bertenaga? Impikan rambut yang lebih kuat dan lembut? Anda boleh dapatkan kesemuanya dengan supplemen Ephyra ini.

| 国阵与民联的得票率与议席比例对比。 |
据《南洋商报》日前统计，国阵在刚落幕的第13届大选获得的选票是总选票的47.38%，但赢得的国会席位却是总数的60%，即222个国席中的133个，以简单多数议席执政。反观民联三党的得票总和占总选票的50.87%，却只赢得40%（即89个）席位，无法实现改朝换代的目标。
民联肯定以得票率与议席数的不成比例，作为挑战本届大选成绩的强力论据之一，以质疑国阵政府的政权正当性。这种得票率与议席数目不成比例的情况，是选举制度之一的“简单多数胜出制”（Plurality
Election）里常出现的票票不等值问题。晚近十年，民间有识之士提出的选举制度改革意见，较突出的诉求就是要“一人一票，票票等值”，具体针对这种票票不等值的纰漏，其中含括2层意义：选区之间的选民人数不能差别过于巨大，以及政党获得的选票应更真实更公平的反映在其赢取的选区席位数目上。
以我国本届大选为例，整体来看，国阵是票票不等值的得益者，而民联则成了受害者。但进一步细究的话，则更正确而言，国阵里只有巫统是得益者，而民联则只有公正党和伊斯兰党是受害者。
若不以国阵和民联2个政治阵营作分野，仅以个别党派的大选成绩而论，那么巫统和行动党是票票不等值的得益者，马华、公正党、伊斯兰党、民政党、国大党等，都是受害者。
同样依据《南洋商报》的统计，巫统的得票占总选票的29%，但赢得的席位却占总议席的39%，即222个国席中的88个。行动党方面，得票占总票数的15.71%，赢得的席位则占总议席的17%，即222个国席中的38个。巫统和行动党都赚了票票不等值的“额外红利”，巫统占的便宜最大。
至于受害方方面：马华的得票占总票数的8%，但赢得的席位却只占总议席的3%，即222个国席中的7个；公正党的得票占总票数的20.39%，但赢得的席位却只占总议席的13.51%，即222个国席中的30个；伊斯兰党的得票占总票数的14.78%，但赢得的席位却只占总议席的9.45%，即222个国席中的21个。
国大党和民政党赢下的席位占总议席的比率，同样低于他们的得票率。这几个政党都是票票不等值的受害方，其中又以公正党和伊斯兰党亏最大。公正党得票比行动党多，席位却比行动党少，伊斯兰党得票率比行动党只少1%，但席位却比行动党少了17个之多。
一些国家为了弥补“简单多数胜出制”下产生的票票不等值纰漏，采取混合选举制，即在实行由选民以简单多数原则选出各选区议员的同时，也落实比例代表制的“双轨制”，各政党依据本身获得的得票率可委任同等比例的议员进入议会。
以马来西亚为例，若国会除了现有的222个选区席位之外，另有100个议会席位是根据政党得票率委任议员，则除了通过选区选出的议员之外，巫统可另外委任29名议员、马华8名、国大党2名、民政党2名、行动党15名、公正党20名、伊斯兰党14名。如此一来，国阵里非巫裔政党将有更强大实力去制衡巫统，而民联里三党的席位比例也更为平衡。
为我国选举制引进比例代表制度，其实过去已有不少人提出，但各政党的反应似乎是兴趣缺缺，但经历本届大选，应得到一些政党的关注，尤其是在票票不等值下“吃亏”的马华、公正党、伊斯兰党、国大党和民政党等，若能联手推动此项改革，也不失为一次具深远意义的朝野合作。
另一项也很早有人提出，但长期被国阵忽略的选举改革建议，就是恢复地方政府选举。马华在本届大选惨败后，各地党部已陆续辞去地方上的官委职位，势必导致各地方行政的政务官系统瞬间出现大面积真空状态。以马华广布全国华人城镇和新村的人脉、资源和机制，只要恢复地方选举，要拿下大多数的华人地方席位，当不成问题。
马华的“民生服务牌”和“地方发展牌”，随时代的变迁，在国会和州会选举中越来越无法收效，造成马华地方干部做牛做马的服务口碑，总是无法反映在选票上。但是服务牌和民生牌在地方议会选举中却相对管用，通过地方选举，能真正反映马华在基层的实力和政绩。例如本届大选，马华仅获7国席11州席，但如果有地方选举，马华中选的县市议员人数应比国州议员人数可观，甚至能执政多个地方政府。简言之，地方桩脚固然无法抵挡全国性的政治海啸，却能通过地方选举这个平台，为马华稳住地方实力，保存基层元气，进而培育征战国州选区的潜在人选。
马华505惨败后，有人问何去何从，其实单是部署选举制度改革和恢复地方选举，工作就多的是呢。

大选期间，读到不少选人还是选党的讨论，于是写了一些即兴文字，当时传给一个为某国阵候选人助选的朋友。我是贪生怕死的人，在竞选期间全世界——至少我认识的人是100个里有99.9个——都在反国阵的狂风暴雨下，可不敢公诸于众，以免被千刀万剐。
如今选举总算结束，亢奋和激情的气氛有所平复，把这些文字整理一下拿出来献丑。
话说这届大选，行动党不断告诉我们，这次是换政府的千载难逢机会，大家一定要坚持投票给民联，实现政党轮替，创造历史。
阿炳的选区，马华候选人素质不错，至于行动党的候选人，从不见他有什么表现。本来有点想把票投给马华候选人，不过听到大家都在说：好人救不了坏政府，现在是有史以来改朝换代的历史性时刻，要以大局为重，唯有投党不投人，Ini kalilah！
结果，kali ini没有ubah到，倒是马华的那个好人落选了，行动党那个没表现的候选人当选了。
4、5年后又是大选，行动党又来告诉我们，这次又是换政府的千载难逢机会，大家一定又要坚持投票给民联，实现政党轮替，创造历史。
在阿炳的选区，这次马华候选人素质也是不错，至于行动党的候选人，同样从来不见他有什么表现。本来这次真的很鬼想把票投给马华候选人，不过听到大家又在到处说：好人救不了坏政府，现在是有史以来改朝换代的历史性时刻，要以大局为重，唯有投党不投人，Ini kalilah！
结果，kali ini还是没有ubah到，只是马华的那个好人又落选了，行动党那个没表现的候选人又当选了。
往后的每一届大选，阿炳几乎每次都听到相似的论调：这次是政党轮替的历史性时刻，好人救不了坏政府，要以大局为重，ini kalilah！
于是每届大选的结果都一样——kali-kali都是好人落选，没表现的人当选。
后来，有一天，阿炳突然发现，再没有好人愿意出来竞选了。
再后来，阿炳甚至发现，每届大选中选的行动党候选人，就是那些每次都在重复高喊“ ini kalilah！”、可是没什么实质表现的人。
话说回来，本届大选成绩进一步巩固了政治两线制的格局，使之更为成熟，巫统一党独大的神话算是一去不复返了。此次变天不成，但依此情势发展下去，政党轮替迟早要到来，而且其到来将是平静安稳的。
遗憾的只是，像原柔佛州务大臣阿都甘尼和原副高教部长塞夫丁等巫统内少见的中庸领袖，像末沙布、祖基菲里阿末、沙拉胡丁阿育等伊斯兰党里罕有的开明领袖，像何国忠和邓章耀等在马华民政里硕果仅存形象正面的领袖，这些令人有希望的人，都落选了。

Buat anda yang tidak tahu, Sherry Ibrahim pernah menjadi kekasih Ashraf Muslim. Namun begitu hubungan mereka telah terputus kira-kira 4 tahun yang lalu. Apabila diminta memberikan komen mengenai isu Ashraf Muslim yang sedang hangat sekarang ini, Sherry enggan dikaitkan lagi kerana antara mereka sudah tiada apa-apa kaitan.
Kata Sherry Ibrahim kepada Mstar Online:-
Jujurnya, saya tidak membaca gosip-gosip di media dan saya tidak mahu mengambil tahu tentang perkara itu. Apabila pihak media meminta saya komen tentang isu Ashraf mahu kahwin dua, saya tak boleh nak komen sebab ia tiada kaitan dengan diri saya. Lagipun itu hal adalah urusan rumah tangga dia yang saya rasa ia tidak elok untuk saya memberi sebarang pandangan
Ini baru betul tak berikan sebarang komen. Tak macam si Sakinah yang kata taknak komen tapi cerita panjang lebar. Bagus betul si Sherry ini. Sayangnya kalau anda nak mengorat dia, lupakanlah sahaja hasrat itu. Sherry sudah ada kekasih baru yang merupakan seorang jejaka Mauritius.
Saya sudah ada kekasih dan kami telah menjalinkan hubungan sejak setahun lalu. Bagaimanapun saya tak boleh nak ceritakan siapa dia. Cukuplah yang orang tahu saya sudah berpunya. Apa yang saya boleh katakan, dia juga bekerja di dalam bidang yang sama cuma bukan sebagai pramugara. Dia sebaya saya iaitu 30 tahun.
Jejaka Mauritius pun jejaka Mauritius lah. Kalau dah memang jodohnya dengan orang luar, apa salahnya kan? Yang penting bahagia. Kepada Sherry, semoga percintaan anda akan berpanjangan sehingga ke jinjang pelamin. Sama-samalah kita doakan.

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 9.5.2013.
DAP is not surprised that MCA and Gerakan are behaving in a childish manner by petulantly closing down their service centers in retaliation for the devastating defeats in the recent general elections. MCA was left with 7 parliamentary seats whilst Gerakan had only 1 parliamentary seat. Such a reaction by Gerakan and MCA losing in the general elections is akin to a child throwing tantrum for not getting what he or she wants.
Carrying out threats of closing down service centers will not impress voters, whether Chinese, Indians or Malays who had already dismissed them as irrelevant and had already made up their minds to reject BN. This is indicated by PR winning the popular vote of 51% compared to BN’s 47.4%, the first time that an opposition coalition had won more than 50% of the popular vote(see below).
(Not including spoilt votes)
PR won 5.6 million votes compared to 5.2 million for BN, a clear lead of 386,000 votes. PR winning 51% of the popular vote yet only 40% of the parliamentary seats cries out for genuine polls reforms that respects the “one-man, one-vote” principle to save democracy.
Malaysians who voted by a clear majority for PR over BN would see the results as perverse in that BN that lost the popular vote won government whilst PR won the popular vote lost power. This is black becoming white and black becoming white.
A Saturday DAP Conference In KL For All 38 Elected MPs and 107 Elected State Assemblymen On Plans To Serve The Nation And Voters As Well As To Replace MCA And Gerakan Which Has Closed Shop On Its Own Following Their Total Rejection By Voters In The 13th General Elections.
MCA and Gerakan grossly underestimated the people’s yearning for change if they think closing down service centers or their offices in retaliation for losing the general elections can frighten the voters. DAP did not close down our offices or service centers when we lost in every general election from 1966 to 2008 but continued our struggle for the people.
The people are sick and tired of these childish games. If MCA and Gerakan can close down service centers, why has MCA and Gerakan not announced that they will close down completely?
DAP shall be organizing a special national conference this Saturday in Kuala Lumpur for all 38 elected MPs and 107 elected state assemblymen on plans to serve the nation and voters as well as to replace MCA and Gerakan which has closed shop on its own following their total rejection by voters in the 13th general elections.

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 9 Mei 2013.
Pakatan Rakyat Menang 51% Undi Popular Namun Hanya 40% Kerusi Parlimen Menuntut Reformasi Pilihanraya Yang Tulen Yang Menghormati Prinsip Satu Orang Satu Undi Demi Menyelamatkan Demokrasi.
DAP tidak terkejut dengan perangai kebudak-budakan MCA dan Gerakan yang seolah-olah merajuk sehingga menutup pusat-pusat khidmat mereka sebagai balasan kepada kekalahan teruk yang dialami dalam pilihanraya umum yang baru berakhir. MCA hanya berhasil mendapat 7 kerusi Parlimen manakala Gerakan hanya mendapat 1 kerusi. Reaksi oleh Gerakan dan MCA setelah kalah dalam pilihanraya samalah seperti seorang budak kecil yang mengamuk kerana tidak mendapat apa yang dia mahukan.
Mengancam untuk menutup pusat khidmat tidak akan menarik minat pengundi, tidak kira Cina, India mahupun Melayu yang telah memutuskan mereka sebagai tidak lagi relevan dan telah membuat keputusan untuk menolak BN. Ini ditunjukkan apabila Pakatan Rakyat memenangi 51% undi popular berbanding undi popular BN sebanyak 47.4%; kali pertama dalam sejarah sebuah pakatan oposisi memenangi lebih daripada separuh undi popular. (lihat bawah)
(Tidak termasuk undi rosak)
Pakatan Rakyat memenangi 5.6 juta undi berbanding 5.2 juta undi oleh BN, perbezaan ketara sebanyak 386,000 undi. Pakatan Rakyat menang 51% undi popular namun hanya 40% kerusi Parlimen menuntut reformasi pilihanraya yang tulen yang menghormati prinsip satu orang satu undi demi menyelamatkan demokrasi.
Rakyat Malaysia yang telah mengundi Pakatan Rakyat berbanding BN dengan majoriti jelas melihat keputusan pilihanraya sebagai sesuatu yang pelik kerana BN yang kalah undi popular dapat menjadi kerajaan, manakala Pakatan Rakyat yang menang undi popular tidak mendapat kuasa. Inilah namanya hitam jadi putih, putih jadi hitam.
Persidangan DAP Di Kuala Lumpur Pada Hari Sabtu Untuk Kesemua 38 Ahli Parlimen Dan 107 ADUN Yang Telah Dipilih, Bagi Merangka Pelan Bagi Berkhidmat Kepada Negara Dan Pengundi Serta Untuk Menggantikan MCA Dan Gerakan Yang Telah ‘Tutup Kedai’ Dengan Sendirinya Berikutan Penolakan Total Terhadap Mereka Oleh Pengundi Dalam PRU Ke-13.
MCA dan Gerakan telah memandang rendah kehendak rakyat untuk perubahan seandainya mereka berfikir bahawa dengan menutup pusat khidmat dan pejabat mereka sebagai balasan kekalahan pilihanraya akan menakutkan para pengundi. DAP tidak pernah menutup pejabat dan pusat khidmatnya apabila kita kalah dalam setiap pilihanraya sejak tahun 1966 sehingga 2008 tetapi terus berjuang demi rakyat.
Rakyat sudah muak dan menyampah dengan permainan yang kebudak-budakan ini. Jika MCA dan Gerakan boleh menutup pusat khidmat mereka, kenapa tidak MCA dan Gerakan umumkan sahaja yang mereka akan ‘tutup kedai’ terus?
DAP akan mengadakan persidangan khas di Kuala Lumpur pada hari Sabtu untuk kesemua 38 Ahli Parlimen dan 107 ADUN yang telah dipilih, bagi merangka pelan bagi berkhidmat kepada negara dan pengundi serta untuk menggantikan MCA dan Gerakan yang telah ‘tutup kedai’ dengan sendirinya berikutan penolakan total terhadap mereka oleh pengundi dalam PRU ke-13.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年5月9日在吉隆坡发表声明：
民联获得51%的得票率，却只获得40%的国会议席，激起人民大声疾呼要求选举改革，尊重一人一票原则，拯救民主。
行动党一点也不惊讶，马华和民政党在输了大选后，幼稚、暴躁地关闭他们的服务中心，做为报复。马华只剩7个国会议席、民政党只剩一个国会议席。马华和民政党在输了选举后的动作，就好像小孩子得不到自己要的东西发脾气那样。
他们威胁关闭服务中心不会让选民留下什么印象，不论是华人、印度人或马来人都已经视他们为“无关紧要”，他们也已经下定决心拒绝国阵。这从民联获得51%的得票率，而国阵获得47.4%可以看出，第一次反对党赢得超过50%的得票率（如下表）。
(不包括废票)
民联赢得560万张选票，而国阵只获得520万张选票，很明显地，民联领先38万6000张选票。民联赢得51%，却只获得40%的国会议席，激起人们大声疾呼要求选举改革，尊重“一人一票”原则，拯救民主。
大多数投选了民联的马来西亚人会看到不成正比成绩，那就是国阵输了选票，却赢得政府，而民联赢了选票，却输了政权。这就是黑的变白，白的变黑。
民主行动党将于星期六在吉隆坡召开会议，与中选的38个国会议员及107年州议员，一起商讨如何服务国家及选民，取代在第13届大选被选民拒绝后已经“关店”的马华及民政党。
如果马华与民政在输了大选便关闭服务中心做为报复手段，那么，他们真的低估了人民求变的渴望。民主行动党从1966年至2008年开始，在每一次败选后，并没有关闭我们的办公室及服务中心，而是继续为人民斗争。
人民对于这种幼稚的游戏感到厌烦及疲累。如果马华及民政党可以关闭服务中心，那么他们为何不干脆宣布他们已经“关店”？
行动党将在来临星期六举行特别全国大会， 与中选的38个国会议员及107年州议员，一起商讨如何服务国家及选民，取代在第13届大选被选民拒绝后已经“关店”的马华及民政党。

Beberapa hari ini agak kecoh juga di laman Internet apabila timbul desas desus yang pelakon dan pengamal perubatan Islam Ashraf Muslim akan berkahwin untuk kali kedua dengan seorang wanita bernama Wan Sakinah.
Kami telah menerima kiriman e-mel dari pembaca BeautifulNara.com yang enggan dikenali mendakwa gambar-gambar yang dikepilkan olehnya ialah Wan Sakinah yang dikatakan akan berkahwin dengan Ashraf dengan kebenaran isteri pertamanya Noor Dayana Lokman.
Kebenaran dakwaan ini tidak dapat dipastikan, namun sekiranya benar dan dan ada kebenaran dari isteri pertama apa salahnya bukan. Kalau tak silap, pernikahan Asyraf dan Noor Dayana berlangsung pada Ogos 2011 dan sudah setahun setengah mereka melayari bahtera perkahwinan.
Sementara itu melalui laman Twitternya, Ashraf telah memberi reaksi mengenai laporan akhbar Harian Metro mengandungi kenyataan dari Wan Sakinah:
Salam semua. Luahan hati. Makin lama makin ramai yang suka melemparkan fitnah demi kepentingan masing-masing. Ingat kita ada Allah.
Makin banyak fitnah dilemparkan yg direka-reka oleh wartawan Harian Metro. Semoga Allah memberkati kamu. Ingat kita ada Allah.
Tidak dapat dipastikan apa maksud sebenar Ashraf Muslim mengenai ‘fitnah’ yang didakwanya. Apa pun mari kita doakan semoga penyelesaian terbaik akan dicapai oleh pihak-pihak terlibat.

In neighbouring Malaysia, the victorious Umno Baru leader is defined by the 6Cs; corruption, chaos, cheating, cronyism, cowardice and concubine. BN head [...]

Will the fabled Star Trek Medical Tricorder be a reality? It might if there is a worthy winner of the X Prize Foundation’s $10 million competition scheduled to end on mid-2015. From New Scientist
Announcing the contest last year, Peter Diamandis of the X Prize Foundation said that the guidelines were inspired by the “medical tricorder” featured in the TV series Star Trek. Waved like a wand over the human body, the smartphone-like device was capable of diagnosing myriad ailments.
Like the tricorder, the winning device must be portable, weighing no more than 2.25 kilograms. It must be able to diagnose 12 specific medical conditions – ranging from a common ear infection to pneumonia – and monitor five vital signs. Competing teams must also choose three from a list of 12 more ambitious “elective” conditions to detect, including melanoma, food poisoning and HIV infection.
The guidelines specify that devices that work in the least invasive way will score best with the judges – a panel of non-expert users. And unlike the box of tricks on the TV show, competition devices must make diagnoses without any help from medical professionals.
The specifications of the device:
I really look forward to a gadget like that. In the meantime there are already “plugins” like AliveCor’s ECG monitor for your iPhone and a portable Ultrasound (Windows mobile).
Portable gadgets are also getting cheaper these days and I just got myself this really cheap Pulse Oxymeter from Ebay

Kesian jugak Abang Nara membaca kata-kata Mejar David Teo ini. Iyerlah, sebelum ini Aeril Zafrel memohon keluar daripada MIG dengan alasan ingin mendalami ilmu agama. Tup-tup keluar pula berita yang Aeril sudah berlakon dalam produksi Hollywood. Serupa kena tipu la kan?
Abang Nara respek kepada Mejar David Teo kerana membenarkan Aeril Zafrel berhenti daripada MIG kerana mahu mendalami agama. Bukan senang nak tamatkan kontrak begitu sahaja. Kata David Teo kepada Mstar Online:-
Mula-mula Aeril kata mahu belajar agama dan kerana itu dia meminta saya untuk tamatkan kontrak lebih awal. Saya ni kalau bab-bab agama agak sensitif. Dan sebab itulah saya memenuhi permintaannya kerana menyokong langkah yang hendak diambilnya untuk melakukan sesuatu ke arah kebaikan. Tiba-tiba saya mendapat tahu dia membintangi sebuah filem di Hollywood pula. Dia sudah tidak memenuhi apa yang dikatakannya sebelum ini.
Macam kena tipu hidup-hidup pun ada jugak. Namun bertambah respek lagi kerana David Teo tidak mahu mengambil sebarang tindakan terhadap Aeril. Kata David Teo lagi:-
Dia mahu tamatkan kontrak, saya sudah tunaikan janji saya. Walaupun saya diperdaya, tidak apa, balasannya akan datang kemudian. Saya pun tidak rugi apa-apa. Saya sudah biasa dengan artis-artis di bawah naungan MIG seperti kata pepatah ‘kacang lupakan kulit’. Dalam pada itu, ramai juga artis yang mengikut konsep kami bekerja telah pun berjaya dalam karier lakonan masing-masing
Tak apalah Mejar David Teo. Kalau orang nak tipu kita, macam-macam cara akan dilakukan. Kepada Aeril, semoga karier anda akan terus maju. Tak sabar nak menanti filem Hollywood lakonan Aeril. Pasti menarik!!!

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 8.5.2013.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should not ask why Chinese voters did not support MCA but whether even Malay voters would vote for a party led by such a “famous” leader like Chua Soi Lek? By continuing to blame Chinese voters or claim that Chinese voters were misled by DAP to vote against BN, Najib is showing contempt not only for democratic right of freedom of choice but also insulting the intelligence of all Malaysian voters.
The recent general elections saw a Malaysian tsunami causing PR to win the popular vote of 51% for the first time in history. Despite gathering more votes than BN from support by all communities, BN continues to blame the Chinese voters. The Chinese form only 25 per cent of Malaysia’s 29 million population of which less than half have registered to vote.
Of that number, BN polled 5,237,699 votes for the 222 federal seats to Pakatan Rakyat parties’ combined 5,623,984 ballots. The three-party pact of PKR, PAS and the DAP also surpassed BN in the state seats, pulling in 4,879,699 votes to the 13-member coalition’s 4,513,997 ballots.
When the Chinese only form 25% of the total voters but PR gains 51% of the popular vote how can BN pin the blame on the Chinese community? Who then are the remaining 26% of the voters if not Malays, Indians, Kadazans and Ibans? Or are these voters foreign Bangla voters?
Najib and BN should study why even Malay and Indian voters are not willing to vote for MCA. After all why would any decent Malay and Indian voter vote for MCA when it is led by such an infamous leader like Chua Soi Lek. Chua Soi Lek is so desperate that he forgets himself as a great politically liability to betray Malaysians by joining hands with UMNO to play the dangerous racial game of blaming BN’s loss of popular vote on the Chinese community.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Tidak Patut Bertanya Kenapa Pengundi Cina Tidak Menyokong MCA Malah Sepatutnya Bertanya Kenapa Pengundi Melayu Mahu Mengundi Sebuah Parti Yang Diketuai Pemimpin Yang Begitu Terkenal Seperti Chua Soi Lek?
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak tidak patut bertanya kenapa pengundi Cina tidak menyokong MCA malah sepatutnya bertnaya kenapa pengundi Melayu mahu mengundi sebuah parti yang diketuai pemimpin yang begitu terkenal seperti Chua Soi Lek? Dengan terus menyalahkan pengundi Cina dan mendakwa kononnya mereka ditipu oleh DAP untuk tidak mengundi BN, Najib memperlihatkan kebenciannya terhadap hak demokratik untuk memilih dengan bebas serta mencela intelek pengundi seluruh Malaysia.
Pilihanraya yang baru selesai menyaksikan tsunami Malaysia yang mengakibatkan Pakatan Rakyat memenangi 51% undi popular untuk pertama kali dalam sejarah. Meskipun PR mendapat lebih banyak undi berbanding BN dengan sokongan daripada semua komuniti kaun, BN terus menyalahkan pengundi Cina. Masyarakat Cina hanyalah 25% daripada populasi 29 juta rakyat Malaysia, di mana kurang daripada separuh darinya mendaftar sebagai pengundi.
Daripada jumlah tersebut, BN mendapat undi sebanyak 5,237,699 untuk kesemua 222 kerusi parlimen manakala Pakatan Rakyat menjana 5,623,984 undi. Pakatan tiga parti PKR, PAS dan DAP juga telah memintas BN di kerusi DUN, dengan mendapat 4,879,699 undi berbanding koalisi 13 partinya yang mendapat 4,513,997 undi.
Dalam keadaan masyarakat Cina hanyalah 25% daripada keseluruhan jumlah pengundi dan Pakatan Rakyat mendapat 51% daripada undi popular, bagaimana BN boleh menyalahkan komuniti masyarakat Cina? Siapa pula 26% bakinya jika bukan Melayu, India, Kadazan dan Iban? Atau adakah mereka ini pengundi warga asing dari Bangladesh?
Najib dan BN patut menyiasat kenapa pengundi Melayu dan India pun tidak ingin mengundi MCA. Malah kenapalah mana-mana Melayu dan India yang baik akan mengundi MCA sedangkan ia dipimpin oleh seorang pemimpin yang begitu terkenal seperti Chua Soi Lek. Chua Soi Lek begitu terdesak sehingga lupa dirinya adalah satu liabiliti politik dengan mengkhianati rakyat Malaysia apabila bersekongkol dengan UMNO memainkan permainan sentimen perkauman dengan menyalahkan masyarakat Cina atas kekalahan BN.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年5月8日在吉隆坡发表声明：
拿督斯里纳吉不应该问为何华裔选民不支持马华，而是马来选民会不会投选一个由蔡细历这样“著名的”领袖 所领导的政党？
拿督斯里纳吉不应该问为何华裔选民不支持马华，而是马来选民会不会投选一个由蔡细历这样“著名的”领袖 所领导的政党？他们继续责怪华裔选民，或指华裔选民被行动党误导而反对国阵，纳吉很明显地是蔑视选择自由这项民主权利，然后继续污辱全体马来西亚选民的智慧。
最近的全国大选看出，马来西亚政治海啸让民联第一次取得 51%的得票率。国阵不但没有向各社群争取更多选票，反而继续责怪华裔选民。华裔人口只占全马2900万人口的25%，这些人当中少过半数是选民。
这个数目当中，国阵在222个国会议席中获得 523万7699张选票，而民联获得562万3984张选票。公正党、伊斯兰党及行动党三党在州议席的得票总数为487万9699张，比13党联盟的国阵得票451万3997还多。
当华裔选民只占总选民25%，但是民联却获得51%的多数票，国阵怎么能够怪罪华裔社群？如果其余的26%不是马来人、印度人、卡达山人及伊班人，那么他们又是谁？难道是外藉孟加拉选民？
纳吉和国阵应该研究为何就连马来人及印度人都不愿投选马华，而马华正被一名“著名的”领袖蔡细历领导。蔡细历如此绝望，以致他忘了自己是一名真正的政治负资产， 他与巫统联手玩弄种族游戏、背叛全体马来西亚选民，还因国阵失去多数票，而怪罪华人。

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 8.5.2013
DAP expresses support for Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to be retained as Selangor Menteri Besar for a 2nd term. Tan Sri Khalid should continue as Menteri Besar after leading PR to a resounding victory at the recent general elections by winning a 2/3 majority with 44 out of 56 state seats in Selangor from the previous 36 seats.
Even though DAP won 15 seats together with PAS 15 and PKR’s 14, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim should be recognized for his integrity and stewardship of Selangor. This had enabled PR to beat back a determined effort by BN led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak himself to win back Selangor. DAP Selangor is also in full support of Tan Sri Khalid as the Selangor Menteri Besar.

Press Statement By Penang PR Chairman And Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Penang On8.5.2013
Penang PR increased its popular vote by 7.7% for state seats from 58% in 2008 general elections to 65.7% in 2013 general elections. BN received 32% of the popular vote, with the remainder spoilt and independent votes. The swing of 7.7% towards PR is large by normal electoral swings of 3-4%and proves Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak wrong that PR failed to get non-Chinese support.
For parliamentary seats PR increased its share by 4% from 63% in the 2008 general elections to 67% in 2013 general elections. BN received around 31% with the remainder spoilt votes.(see table below)
Penang PR % of Popular Vote GE2008 vs GE2013 (State and Parliament)
Including Spoilt votes
- Decrease in split voting from GE2008 to GE2013 shows that the majority of Penangites support Pakatan at the same rates at the parliament as well as the state levels
Penang PR # of Popular Vote GE2008 vs GE2013 (State and Parliament)
- Increase in # of votes at the state level is larger than the increase in # of votes as parliament. Shows increasing confidence in the capacity of the PR state government in Penang.
The increase in popular vote for PR by 7.7% can only be attributed to increasing support from all communities in Penang, Chinese, Indian and Malays. Even though there was a marked increase in support from Chinese and Indian voters, there was a slight increase in Malay support. Otherwise how could a state with more than 35% Malay voters give a 66-67% popular support for PR for both parliamentary and state seats? As it is impossible to win 100% support from both Indians and Chinese, the marked increase in popular vote and majorities as seen below can only come from slight increase in support from Malay voters.
Penang PR Majority GE2008 vs GE2013 (State and Parliament)
PR majorities increased by 86% for Parliamentary seats and a whopping 164% for state seats for this general elections as compared to 2008. The facts show clearly that PR won in Penang as a result of increased support from all 3 communities.
DAP regrets that both UMNO and MCA continues to try to racialise the issue as a Chinese tsunami when it is a Malaysian tsunami coming from all 3 races in Penang. This is a dangerous game of racial fire by BN as we have seen throughout the election campaign that it is Chinese BN supporters form the 1Malaysia groups that were beating up Chinese and Malay BN supporters that were beating up Malays.
Malays and non-Malays are not as stupid as BN thinks to believe this racial line by BN and will reject the politics of racial confrontation of BN and adopt the politics of collaboration of PR. I had said in my swearing-in speech yesterday that PR Penang state government 2.0 would be fair to all regardless of race, religion and political affiliation, including BN supporters.

Kenyataan Media oleh Pengerusi Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang merangkap Ketua Menteri, Lim Gua Eng di Pulau Pinang pada 8 Mei 2013.
Undi Popular Bagi Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang Meningkat Sebanyak 7.7% Untuk Kerusi DUN, Berbanding 58% Pada Pilihanraya Umum 2008 Kepada 65.7% Pada 2013; Membuktikan Bahawa Sangkaan Perdana Menteri Najib Razak Kononnya Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang Gagal Mendapat Sokongan Pengundi Bukan Cina Ternyata Salah.
Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang menyaksikan peningkatan undi popular sebanyak 7.7%, iaitu daripada 58% pada pilihanraya umum 2008 kepada 65.7% pada 2013. BN mendapat 32% undi popular, dengan bakinya merupakan undi rosak dan undi untuk calon bebas. Ayunan sebanyak 7.7% terhadap Pakatan Rakyat adalah besar bagi ayunan normal sebanyak 3-4% lantas membuktikan bahawa sangkaan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak kononnya Pakatan Rakyat gagal mendapat sokongan pengundi bukan Cina adalah sama sekali tidak benar.
Bagi kerusi-kerusi Parlimen, Pakatan Rakyat mencatatkan meningkatan 4%, aripada 63% pada tahun 2008 kepada 67% pada tahun 2013. BN pula mendapat 31% dengan bakinya adalah undi rosak. (lihat jadual)
PR P.Pinang % Undi Popular PRU2008 vs PRU2013 (DUN and Parlimen)
Termasuk undi rosak
- Pengurangan pecahan undi daripada PRU 2008 dengan PRU 2013 menunjukkan majoriti pengundi Pulau Pinang menyokong Pakatan Rakyat pada kadar serupa di peringkat Parlimen dan DUN.
PR P. Pinang # undi popular PRU2008 vs PRU2013 (DUN dan Parlimen)
- Pertambahan bilangan undi di peringkat DUN adalah lebih besar berbanding pertambahan bilangan undi Parlimen. Ini memperlihatkan peningkatan keyakinan terhadap kerajaan negeri Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang.
Pertambahan undi popular untuk Pakatan Rakyat sebanyak 7.7% boleh dikaitkan dengan pertambahan sokongan daripada semua komuniti di Pulau Pinang, dari kaum Cina, India dan Melayu. Walaupun terdapat pertambahan signifikan daripada pengundi Cina dan India, terdapat juga pertambahan dari kalangan pengundi Melayu. Jika tidak bagaimana mungkin sebuah negeri dengan 35% pengundi Melayu dapat memberikan 66-67% undi popular bagi Pakatan Rakyat di kedua-dua kerusi DUN dan Parlimen? Memandangkan adalah mustahil untuk mendapat sokongan 100% dari kedua-dua kaum India dan Cina, pertambahan undi popular dan majoriti seperti yang boleh dilihat di bawah hanya boleh didapati daripada peningkatan sokongan pengundi Melayu.
Undi Majoriti PR P. Pinang PRU2008 vs PRU2013 (DUN dan Parlimen)
Majoriti Pakatan Rakyat bertambah sehingga 86% bagi kerusi Parlimen dan sehingga 164% bagi kerusi DUN untuk PRU kali ini berbanding tahun 2008. Fakta menunjukkan dengan jelas bahawa Pakatan Rakyat menang di Pulau Pinang lantaran meningkatnya sokongan daripada ketiga-tiga komuniti kaum.
DAP kesal dengan sikap UMNO dan MCA yang terus cuba membangkitkan isu perkauman dengan kononnya wujud tsunami Cina sedangkan sebenarnya ia adalah tsunami rakyat Malaysia daripada kesemua tiga kaum terbesar di Pulau Pinang. Permainan api perkauman yang dimainkan oleh BN ini sangat bahaya memandangkan kita telah melihat di sepanjang tempoh kempen bahawa sebenarnya kumpulan-kumpulan penyokong BN berketurunan Cina daripada persatuan-persatuan 1Malaysia yang bertindak kasar terhadap kaum Cina sendiri, manakala penyokong Melayu BN yang bertindak kasar terhadap orang Melayu.
Orang Melayu dan orang bukan Melayu bukanlah sebodoh yang disangkakan BN sehingga boleh termakan sentimen perkauman yang dimainkan BN, dan mereka pastikanya akan menolak politik konfrontasi perkauman BN dan menerima politik kolaborasi Pakatan Rakyat. Saya telah menyebut dalam ucapan majlis angkat sumpah saya semalam bahawa Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang 2.0 akan berlaku adil kepada semua tanpa mengira kaum, agama dan pendirian politik, termasuk mereka yang menyokong BN.

槟州民联主席兼槟州首席部长林冠英于2013年5月8日在槟州发表声明：
槟州民联在2008年大选的得票率是58%，2013年大选增加至65.7%，增加了7.7%，证明首相拿督斯里纳吉指民联不获非华裔支持是错误的言论。
槟州民联在2008年大选的得票率是58%，2013年大选增加至65.7%，增加了7.7%。国阵32%的得票率还包含了废票和独立人士的得票，7.7%摆向民联的得票增加是巨大数字，正常选举票源波动于3%至4%之间，这证明首相拿督斯里纳吉指民联不获非华裔支持是错误的言论。
在国会议席方面，民联从2008年大选的63%增加了4%支持率，达到67%，国阵的31%支持率还包括废票。（以下得票率图表）
槟州民联在2008年大选和2013年大选得票率的对比（州与国会议席）
包括废票
-2013年大选的得票率增加，显示大多数槟城选民支持民联国会议席和州议席的候选人。
2008年大选和2013年大选，支持槟州民联的合格选票对比（州与国会议席）
槟州民联
- 州议席和国会议席的选票都相对增加，显示选民对槟州民联政府能力的信心提高。
民联增加7.7%得票支持率，证明民联获得槟州广大社群的支持，包括华裔、印裔和马来人，虽然华裔和印裔支持率明显增加，但马来支持票也略有提高，否则超过35%马来选民的槟州，如何在国会和州议席获得超过66%至67%的支持率？要获得100%华印裔的支持是不合能的，以下图表证明马来选民对民联的支持率提高。
槟州民联的多数票，2008年大选对比2013年大选（州与国会议席）
相比2008年大选，民联在国会议席的多数票增加了86%，州议席增加高达164%，民联的胜利清楚说明民联在槟州获得3大民族的支持。
巫统和马华将大选成绩形容为华裔海啸，民主行动党对他们继续玩弄种族课题感到遗憾， 事实上这是一场全民海啸。国阵已在种族课题上点火，这是危险的游戏，整个竞选期间，我们看到一马组织的国阵华裔支持者殴打华裔，而国阵马来人支持者殴打马来人。
马来人和非马来人并非国阵想象的愚蠢，会相信国阵主导的种族路线，人民会拒绝国阵的种族政治对抗，人民将接受民联采取的政治合作。我在昨天宣誓就职致词时已说，槟州民联政府2.0将公平对待人民，不分种族、宗教和政治派系，包括国阵支持者。

(On the set of Buddyz 2, with the iconic kombi van and some yellow umbrellas. The guy in yellow and seated in the background is actor Shaheizy Sam, reading the script)
Last year, I made a passing mention that I was involved in a TV shoot for a series of 5-minute episodes called Buddyz. The series started airing last June.
In the past few weeks I have been preparing for Season 2 of Buddyz, which stars Alif Satar, Syed Ali, Eliza Razak and Wawa Zainal, including (numerous) special appearances from Shaheizy Sam (the guy is doing multiple roles, like Eddie Murphy in the 80s).
For this shoot (and many after that), I decided to use a Blackmagic Cinema Camera that I bought literally just a few days before :D
The shoot started on May 1st. Labour Day. Most were having a holiday while we started work.
This was the very first shot of the entire shoot.
May 2nd. Day 2. We were shooting around the Damansara Perdana area.
That was 3 days before General Elections. The sight of the flag made me feel a little patriotic.
I always wanted to try a Snorricam shot. I finally got to do it.
Once again, like the previous season, Elliza Razak and Shaheizy Sam shared the most screen time. Their chemistry is already there, as director, my job was to set up the scenes wonderfully for them to work their magic.
I decided to scatter some yellow umbrellas around the park to make the scene more awesome.
Day 4... well, Day 4 was a hectic shoot where started from 7am to 7pm. There was a live audience. I'll just share some of their tweets.
(they even got to hang out with the cast members)
Jom sarapan dulu! #buddyz #BuddyzSam @putra87 @yayannnnb @fuzzhafira @annanuarr @shaheizy_sam @melakaboy twitter.com/DiGi_Youths/st…

#buddyz shoot today with #BuddyzSam! @shaheizy_sam and casts are ridiculously fun and funny! =D twitter.com/kyension/statu…
— Kok Yen Staci Tan (@kyension) May 4, 2013
Not just there to give @shaheizy_sam moral support, #BuddyzSam got to join him on screen as well. Lucky!! twitter.com/kyension/statu…
— Kok Yen Staci Tan (@kyension) May 4, 2013
There were even (quite a lot of photos) posted on Facebook.
Tweets of those events had the hashtag #BuddyzSam
It's fascinating.
May 5th. We had a break. It was the 13th Malaysian General Elections. Mom and I went to vote. But that's a different story for another day. If ever.
May 6th. Back to work. No photos. Post-election fatigue.
May 7th. Yesterday. Day 6 of shoot.
Continued shooting in a kampung house. Sometimes, I'm really amazed by the generosity of our Malay brethren, they are always hospitable and agreeable when lending out their homes for film shoots.
Here's Alif Satar, Wawa Zainal and Elliza Razak, waiting for the next shot.
And then, Syed Ali and Elliza Razak in an emotionally intense scene.
Night came. It started raining heavily.
I had to put on the raincoat.
Slightly after midnight, we were finally done. Here's Wawa Zainal and Elliza Razak, shooting the last scene of the night.
Memang sejuk mata memandang gambar-gambar Ella dan keluarganya pergi menunaikan umrah. Ella nampak cantik sekali apabila bertudung. Nampak lebih manis. Semoga satu hari pintu hati Ella akan terbuka untuk bertudung sepenuhnya.
Comel kan? Pasti suami Ella makin bertambah sayang melihat keayuan si isteri bertudung. Abang Nara pasti peminat Ella pun suka sangat-sangat. Tak gitu?

First and foremost, before answering this question about whether should you invest in gold, let’s examine what’s worth investing?
What’s worth investing?
If you read any of the book written by the famous financial guru, Robert T.Kiyosaki (stated in an interview with Jason Hartman in 2011 that he owns over 1400 units of apartment houses) you will be familiar with the term “assets” and “liabilities”. He said that asset is something that produce income and put money in your pocket regularly.
For example, your money in fixed deposit generate interest income every month. Therefore, you can call it an asset. How about owning a company shares? The company might declare dividend regularly, and you get a dividend income by owning its share. You can call it an asset. How about a property? It is an asset if you rent it out and get rental income every month. But if you are staying in it, Robert says that the property you are currently staying in is a liability. The logic is simple – if there is no income generated from the property, it is a liability.
Apparently, you would like to invest all your money into assets. Asset generates income so your money will grow.
Now by understanding what asset is about, according to Robert, who is currently the best financial educator most of us know, let’s examine gold as an asset class. Is gold consider an “asset”? Does it produce regular income?
Is Gold Considered an Asset because it has value?
Recently, I hosted an online training session, where I answered a bunch of questions submitted by my readers. During that session, I asked the live audience this question too. Can you consider gold as an “asset”? The response is a mixture of yes and no. About half of the audience said it is an asset. There rest said “no”. What about you?
You can watch the full webinar replay here (only for Premium Webinar Members)
One of my audience said that gold is an asset because it has “value”. Well, if you think deeper, everything has a value. If there is an old mobile phone being stored somewhere in your room, which is not used anymore, is it consider an asset too merely because it has value? You can sell the unused phone and convert it into cash. It definitely has value. But you can’t say that it is an asset, according to our understanding just now. We can’t qualify it as an asset because the used mobile phone doesn’t generate income.
Is Gold Considered an Asset because it appreciates in value?
Then, another audience replied that gold can be consider an asset because it appreciates in value. Well, what do you think about this now?
You can make money by buying gold because when you buy it at a low price, you might be able to sell it at a higher price. That converts into profit due to gold’s value appreciation over time. Is this true? Does gold always go up in price?
Now, I would like you to think about the reasons why something appreciates in value? It boils down to the concept of supply and demand. If there are more people demanding for a certain commodity, the seller can sell at a higher price.
Why is there a higher demand of certain things in this world? This drives up the price when there is not enough supply to cope with the market demand. Demand is high for certain resources when it is useful, producing income, but scarce. Gold appreciates in value whenever there is a higher demand of it.
Consider these two different things – a tenanted property versus gold. A well-located and well-maintained property in a highly populated town will always have demand for it. No doubt the property will appreciate in value because it is producing income. Tenants want the convenience of its location. Furthermore, all of us need a roof over our head.
Meanwhile, gold is still the same metal anywhere in the world. It might be scarce but it doesn’t produce income. Do you think the demand for it will always be there? Ask yourself honestly, can you live without gold? Can you carry on your daily life and live happily even if you don’t own any ounce of gold? I bet you can.
So, can you consider something as an “asset” just because it appreciates in value? I don’t think so.
Why is gold useful?
Gold might be useful as a currency insurance because people fear that currency depreciates whenever central banks print more money. That makes sense because if you want to store money somewhere (in a bank account, for instance), it might be better to store it as gold, or silver, or whatever commodities. As a currency insurance, gold can hedge against inflation, which technically means money depreciate in value.
Gold might be useful when you have to face doomsday. When countries go to war and currency is worthless, gold might become the medium of exchange like the old days. You can keep gold for these reasons.
But when it comes to investment, I would rather buy assets that generate incomes. Assets will always appreciate when it can generate incomes. It will appreciate even faster if the income generated from the same asset is higher and higher every year. As a summary, here is a well said comment from Jeffrey Cheah, a licensed professional estate planner:
“Gold has been a symbol of great value for ages. Over time it has been misinterpreted as an investment.”
When it comes to investment, we should all listen to Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha. He said,“Gold gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head”

This is the question that has been circling in my puny brain these few days. All these while I thought Najib will redeem Barisan Nasional and himself after being appointed as the Prime Minister. Honestly I kinda admired and loved our Prime Minister...until yesterday. I kept on asking myself, "Is Najib being RACIST?" Why does the same man who has been pushing for 1Malaysia suddenly accused the Chinese of not supporting him and Barisan Nasional? I was really sad for I thought Najib was the only glimmer of light that link all Malaysians with his promise of equality for all. Now I know I was wrong.
Najib during happier moments.
My family and I really enjoyed his candid advertisement.

Barisan Nasional's victory on the 5th of May was nothing for them to shout about and they, especially Najib, know that he has done terribly worse than his predecessor (Abdullah Badawi-I love him). So instead of blaming on himself for being a hesitant reformer, Najib conveniently pointed the fingers at the Chinese and blamed us for causing Barisan Nasional's victory to be weakened? Why Najib? I really didn't expect you to be so racist??? And blame us for your "defeat"?? Why can't you be a graceful loser?
How can you label us as Tsunami?
I thought we have the right to vote?

Najib had wrongfully claimed that all Chinese supporters have swung their supports towards the opposition causing Barisan Nasional to lose in a lot of urban areas. Najib said it was a 'CHINESE TSUNAMI' that had dented his credibility to be Malaysia's 6th elected Prime Minister. That statement alone is enough to prove that Najib has never sincerely think about the nobility of 1Malaysia. He wanted to blame it on the Chinese so that DAP's reputation would get a beating and justify his defeat. Turns out...Najib's reputation is on the tightrope right now.
How can you still put on that 1Malaysia pin
when you keep on making "racist" statements?

The truth is...it was not because of the Chinese...it was a "Multiracial Malaysian Tsunami" that had caused Najib and Barisan Nasional to falter in urban areas. 70% urban voters have REJECTED Najib and his Barisan Nasional. Professional analysts agreed with this shift. Those from urban areas regardless of whether they are Malay, Chinese or Indian...Malaysians are simply sick of the way Barisan Nasional is running the country at theirs expense. So why do Najib still wanna put the blame on ONE RACE only to cover his inability to garner more support?
The fact is most Malaysians have
REJECTED Najib and BN. Period.
It seems that the worse has come to WORST. Today...Malaysians across the country were shocked when UMNO's Utusan Malaysia front-paged the question, "Apa Lagi Cina Mahu" (What else to the Chinese want?). It was a ridiculous statement from a newspaper that is owned by UMNO. Indirectly it means UMNO is releasing this RACIST statement through Utusan Malaysia? The most shocking part is when Najib actually stood up and DEFENDED Utusan Malaysia's claim that we Chinese are being ungrateful! I was totally dumbfounded and I did not expect Najib to endorse this racist statement.
Utusan Malaysia has become really out of control with its racist remarks!
To hear this from Malaysia's prime minister is really hurtful. He should have stood up for us...and not rub more salts against our wounds! For the record: 53.29% of Malaysians supported Pakatan Rakyat...and only a meager 25% (if all Chinese) of them are Chinese. So...can't you read this Najib? Malaysians and not only Chinese, are rejecting Barisan Nasional for being corrupted and fraudulent! Please wake up before it is too late. You cannot keep on living in denial and put the blame on others.
You might think this is funny but I am sad because
I did look up to this guy to fix all the wrongs that have been done!

P.S.: I hope Najib will repent and come clean about all the wrongdoings that he and Barisan Nasional has done, especially about the tainted 13th General Election. I hope Najib will be remembered for all the good things he has done and not something like this...
