BREAKING NEWS as reported here:

UPDATE 3.30 pm: Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim is apparently away in Abu Dhabi. He left early this morning. He has said that he will look into this harassment by the police when he is back.

Police this morning visited the homes of Datin Seri Wan Azizah, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, YB Azmin Ali and Yahya Saari over Black 14 gathering in Kampung Baru last night.

Notice was served them to be present at the Dang Wangi police station at 3.00 p.m. today to have their statements recorded.

If only the police were just as efficient in combating run-away crimes throughout the country. Also, they should not reduce themselves to be taking instructions but do their job without fear or favour.

Kemaskini 3:30pm: DSAI dikhabarkan berada di Abu Dhabi. Beliau berlepas awal pagi tadi dan menyatakan akan melihat tindakan gangguan pihak polis ini apabila pulang.

Pagi tadi, pihak polis telah pergi ke rumah Datin Seri Wan Azizah, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, YB Azmin Ali and Yahya Saari kerana perhimpunan 'Black 14' di Kampung Baru semalam.

Notis telah diserahkan supaya meraka hadir di Balai Polis Dang Wangi pada pukul 3:00 p.m. hari ini untuk memberi keterangan.

Kalaulah pihak polis begitu efisyen dalam menangani kadar jenayah yang tinggi di seluruh negara. Mereka juga sepatutnya tidak cuma mengambil arahan dari 'pihak atasan' tetapi bekerja secara bebas tanpa rasa takut kepada sesiapa pun.

Hidup PKR! Hidup Pakatan Rakyat!

黄朱强部落格：拿汀旺阿兹莎一行人被警方传召问话

3.30 pm 更新: 拿督斯里安华·依布拉欣看来已经启程前往阿布达比，他是与今天临晨离开的。他在出发前说明，会在结束旅程回国后才处理这项警方的干扰事件。

警方在今早分别拜访了拿汀旺阿兹莎、卡立·依布拉欣、阿兹敏还有雅哈亚·沙里，以调查昨晚在甘榜峇鲁召开的“黑色14”大聚会。

金马区（Dang Wangi）警局已经发出通知，要求他们在今天下午3点前来警局录取口供。

如果警方对追捕国内的逃犯是如此不遗余力的话，他们也不应该贬低自己，只听从上头的命令而不愿坚守好自己的岗位了。

人民公正党万岁！人民联盟万岁！

20,000 came to celebrate with Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim and hear him speak

UPDATE 15 April, 10.40 am: More pictures. Courtesy of TV Smith.

I was at the celebration at Kelab Sultan Sulaiman, Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur which was held this evening to mark the expiry of Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim's ban from public office, 10 years after he was sacked as Deputy Prime Minister.

Congratulations and best wishes Dato' Seri.

The crowd comprising of all groups of Malaysians was huge and eager. I get this feeling that they want to hear what their prime-minister-in-waiting has to say. My estimation of the crowd was that it was about 20,000 strong.

I don't think the main-stream media will report about this event in a major way. Even if they do, they will probably claim the crowd was about 200 or 2,000 (they somehow have this dirty habit of dropping or 'swallowing' their zeros ... I wonder why.)

Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the de facto leader of Parti Keadilan Rakyat, spoke to the guests for more than an hour but what was most memorable was his affirmation that Pakatan Rakyat (a coalition of PKR, DAP and PAS) stands firmly in its belief for Ketuanan Rakyat.

He reiterated that there are poor and marginalised Malays as well as Chinese, Indians and others from the ethnic groups in Sabah and Sarawak. The welfare of the rakyat is paramount and Pakatan Rakyat will never forget this point. Pakatan Rakyat will serve the interests of the Malays as well as all other Malaysians. Race-based politics, he alluded, is also dead and gone.

I came away from the celebration with a happy feeling and is assured that Malaysia has a bright future. I am sure the rest of the crowd felt the same way.

I was also told that tonight's celebration also coincided with Raja Petra Kamarudin's 35th wedding anniversary celebration. My congratulations and best wishes also go to Raja Petra and his beloved wife. (Raja Petra Kamarudin is the founder of Malaysia Today blog.)

I have said it in the beginning and I will say it again now:

“ We are the managing directors of our destiny. Let us take control and not delegate this responsibility to the self-serving lot that has become so commonplace.

“ I am here to serve Wangsa Maju without fear or favour and let it be known our common interests are always above my own – so help me God. ”

Dr Chandra Muzaffar is a fraud trying to prop up the ailing BN

Media statement released by
Wee Choo Keong, 04 March 2008

Dr Chandra Muzaffar, a self-proclaimed intellectual and arm-chair critic of BN of yesteryears, suddenly saw it fit to allow himself to be manipulated by the Barang Naik party to cast malicious aspersion against Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim and to indirectly influence Malaysians not to support the opposition.

This is, for all intent and purpose, an affront to basic freedom and democracy.

For a start, Chandra is just an intellectual fraud. He only pays lip-service to words like freedom and democracy.

In 1998/99 I was sacked from the DAP under strange circumstances and many other DAP leaders throughout the nation resigned from the DAP. At the same time, we were thinking of joining PKR in order to carry on our struggles against injustices, corruptions and abuses of power. During that period, Chandra was the Deputy President of PKR and he, as unreasonable as it was, saw it fit to make a unilateral declaration that all former DAP leaders were banned from joining PKR.

To say the least, this behaviour of his was absolutely bizarre and mind-boggling.

We were extremely shocked and disappointed with Chandra, whom we thought was a real democrat and a great defender of freedom and injustice. After the said infamous declaration of his putting a blanket-ban on former DAP leaders from joining PKR, we knew then that Chandra was merely an arm-chair critic and intellectual fraud when it comes to freedom and democracy.

Whatever Chandra had uttered last night at the forum organised by The Star was not unexpected given his past record. And those utterances should be consigned to the foul-smelling garbage bins much like his mouth at the time surely.

Moreover, Chandran’s vile gibberish of last night was also verbiage and an obvious act of sabotage against the people of this country.

We call upon Chandra to carry on being an arm-chair critic in his academic ‘prison’ and to immediately stop insulting the intelligence of the public.

Chandra would also do well to go back to school to re-learn the basic principles of freedom and democracy.

Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim irrelevant? Really?

This is an email that has been making its round and it has been forwarded to me and I thought worthwhile to post it here for everyone's benefit. All I know is there's a welcoming Wind of Change blowing through our land!

- start -

Received from friend who stays abroad...!!

By, A Political Neutral

The most famous term used by BN leaders is Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI) is irrelevant, is this true? I was beginning to believe that maybe their claim was justified as it was being mentioned repeatedly over the months until I had personally attended his Ceramah at Buntong and Dewan Tow Bee Keong in Ipoh on the 11-1-08 between 7.30-11pm.

There were banners displayed at several places around Ipoh for a Chinese New Year celebration with DSAI at Dewan Tow Bee Keong, so a crowd of 5,000, mostly Chinese did not take me by surprise. However, a crowd of more than 5,000 people at Buntong with a days notice and organizing it at a small terrace house, with no stage was an eye opener. So why was there such a large crowd ? Why an "irrelevant" person able to create such hype.

The mere presence of Anwar Ibrahim created euphoria, his aura was immense, I was 50 meters away from like walking into a temple with strong vibration where you feel the sense of calmness and serenity. Anwar is definitely relevant!!!

He did not scream all the way as most politician do, but there was pin drop silence when his tone of voice was soft, I mean pin drop silence amongst the Buntong crowd! He kept the crowd cheering and laughing all the way throughout his hour long speech. He was instantly a big hit amongst the Buntong crowd. He received the same ovation at Dewan Tow Bee Keong as well.

So what were the issues addressed and why should we vote for any opposition party whether its keADILan, DAP or PAS.


1. Rising price of oil and all essential goods.
He insists that petrol price would be reduced immediately once he is PM.
In contrast, Najib claims that the country would become bankrupt if this was done, so how would it be possible. Simple, presently PETRONAS annual profit after tax is RM80 billion, take RM 10 billion from it and further subsidize the petrol would not have any material effect on the government revenue as we are an oil exporting nation. During his 8 year tenure as Finance Ministerand Deputy Prime Minister, oil was kept at RM1.10/litre when profits from Petronas was between RM 25 - 30 billion annually. Remember that most robust projects were also undertaken during this period but we never went buzz.After his sacking in September 1998, petrol rose in October 1998 and tol rates rose in November 1998.

2. Free education from primary to tertiary education.
Hah ! Bolehkah ini ? Mana boleh ? Well, another RM 10 billion would do from Petronas profit, simple as that. When you can manage with RM 30 billion, why can't you manage with RM 60 billion from Petronas. He says that this is God given gift to the people, at least half of which should go back to the people in some way or rather. What is the point of the nation being rich yet the rakyat being poor?

3. Racial tension like never before
Why so much misconception between races, we are all Malaysians. The annual government revenue is RM 200 billion, to a population of 27 million is one the highest in the world, so there is no need to quarrel, we all can share the cake. So where is the problem, the bulk of the cake is being gobbled by few BN component leaders and leaving the poor rakyat to feel that we are being robbed by the other race. Morgan Stanley reported than corruption has cost the nation RM 100 billion since 2004. So please, let's unite and fight the true enemy, please pass this important message to as many as possible, because as election draws closer, and if BN is on the verge of defeat, they may just stir this sentiment as they have done in the past while we fall victims.

4. Brain drain and lack of opportunities
Many non-Bumis are with the perception that they are being deprived of tertiary education even after obtaining the best possible results, true.

But who are the true beneficiaries, remember that only 30% of the Bumis are either professionals or some how benefited from the growth of the country or somehow is a crony to some prominent individuals. They are the ones able to give their children quality secondary education and they are the ones who have most benefited from government scholarships and tertiary education.
The remaining 70% of Bumis are still neglected and aren't given much opportunity just as the non-Bumis.
He promised to help the most deserving Bumis (70% who are still poor) and the most deserving non-Bumis from tertiary education to government job employment.

5. Chinese and Tamil schools
He vowed to make all schools as fully government aided schools if keADILan was to come to power. I wouldn't want to repeat the financial means as I've already done so.

6. Fear of PAS or DAP
This is BN propaganda, PAS is contesting in 60 seats and DAP even less, neither party on its own can come to power. Fear is put amongst non-Muslims that PAS are too radical, likewise DAP are a communist organization.
Neither is true, 75% of non-muslims vote in Kelantan in the 2004 election went to PAS, there must be something right with PAS and something not so right with BN for people resorting to choose PAS. Lim Guan Eng served 2 years in jail protecting an underaged Malay girl who was having an affair with a top UMNO leader. Are they communist?
Anyway, keADILan would have to win the most number of seats with PAS and DAP making up the numbers for them to govern. So, please do not fear PAS or DAP. Either they would be ideal oppositions in parliament or a coalition party in a keADILan led multiracial government.
Likewise many other issues were addressed.

Now the big question is, can Anwar be trusted?
Well, how much worst can he be compared to the current leaders.
Is there any credible leader in UMNO who can turn this country around?
Petrol price is to increase again in April '08. All essential goods are going to go higher.

Malaysia's Foreign Direct Investment (pelaburan asing) has dwindled from top spot in the 90's to 6th in 2007 after Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines in South East Asia.
Anwar is a leading financial adviser to many large institution and businessman for investment opportunities in South East Asia.
University ranking has dropped below 200 wherelse Univeristy of Singapore are No.3 in Asia and Indian Institute of Tech. are top 10 in the world.

Anwar is currently serves as a professor in Harvard and Oxford Universities, needless for me to say about the reputation of these two top class universities.
With all these in mind, why can't we give him 5 years to prove himself.
We have prejudged him as untrustworthy, well, he was in UMNO, to be a leader in UMNO, you must be a fanatic Malay, likewise MCA and MIC because they are race based parties.

Now he has formed a multiracial party to fight for all regardless of race and religion but promised to protect the Malay rights as stipulated in the constitution.

It's TIME FOR A CHANGE. VOTE WISELY.
p/s: please forward this e-mail to as many and pass this word around to
whoever you see for a better future for ALL Malaysians.

Also, here's what happened before I gave my speech yesterday...

Before the ceramah started, a resident came up to me with a list of problems, which have not been attended to by the MCA candidate. The issues are security in Wangsa Maju, clogged and smelly drains, flats not re-painted for many years, children's playground too small for the 7,000 residents and they have not seen his face ever since he was elected in 2004.

After walking about and talking with the voters for the past few days, I could gather that their No.1 concern is the security and high crime-rate in Wangsa Maju.

In fact, security is one of the major issues in Malaysia now and Malaysians are very concerned with this life-endangering state of affair, which has been grossly neglected by the Barang Naik party.

I am told that only 7% of the police force was allocated for crime prevention and the rest was for crime investigation and special branch, which is to monitor the activities of the opposition parties. I dare say that 7% is far too low and it was for this reason that the crime rate in Malaysia is on the increase.

It looks like the Barang Naik administration is not interested in crime prevention and is solely responsible for the total failure of its policy in this area. And it is for this reason that Nurin was kidnapped in Wangsa Maju.

Let's be serious about the issue of crime prevention. Now that Nurin had been kidnapped and until this day the police is still groping in the dark ... let's give this matter serious thought.

Let's not wait until our children are kidnapped and then start taking action. It will be too late. Therefore, let's take preventive actions by using your precious vote to vote for me, WHO SAYS WHAT HE MEANS AND MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.

My dear voters, if you elect me as your MP, fighting crime will be one of my main priorities. I will push the government to make crime prevention as one of Malaysia's main national agenda. I will make sure parliament will hear me and take positive action. I will make sure I deliver.

Therefore, please help me to help you. I need your vote to speak for you - in and out of parliament. Thank you.

Undilah KeADILan! Vote KeADILan!
