Post Election Drips

From a friend:

My Parting Shot (cos I am not bothered until the next election)

Troops,
The following are my observations post elections. They represent not only my thoughts but also my aspirations in the future at least till the next election. Lets share.

1. The Penang UMNO came out on the streets and had a "perhimpunan". The perhimpunan was held to protest Guan Eng's dismissal of the NEP. If it was held when the BN was in power it would have been termed "demonstrasi" thus it is haram. Funny how the press change the word to reflect 'BN's right to demonstrate". Guan Eng didnt say he would abolish the NEP. The press said that. He said that ALL govt tenders will be an "open tender". The press (since they belong to BN) put a spin to it. Where were UMNO when they had the most no of ADUN in 1998 and yet gave the CM post to Gerakan???? UMNO were reduced to Balik Pulau since 1978. Dont tell me UMNO didnt realise that. Our friend Halim can give us a better picture I am sure. Sounds like ....its ok for BN to push me aside but not anybody else......
Oh by the way....the demonstrations were peaceful right??? Therefore no water cannons no swinging of the batons by the FRU....no "agent provocateur"......But remember HINDRAF, BERSIH????? That says a lot about our policeman doesnt it. AND the racially slant fiery speeches.....Two months ago there will be calls for ISA, seditious act and god knows what else will be said by the TV and newspapers.
This is what I meant by UMNO not playing on a level playing field. The police, judiciary, the other govt agencies MUST be allowed to act independently....
2. Perak MB issue. Thank God the Sultan of Perak is a learned man. He wouldnt mind to have a chinese MB. The UMNO in Perak made a lot of representations (mostly at the State Secretariat building). They only state that it was embedded in the Perak's constitution. It clearly shows that the new govt can change or edit the constitution.....then what??? My translation is.....be prepared for change.....
3. Perlis MB and Terengganu MB issue. Even in victory UMNO is still quarelling!!!! Have a guess what they are quarrelling about? Or lets put it in another way......Is the outcome going to benefit the rakyat?
4. Where is KJ??? Very quiet. Surprise surprise. I bet he knew that the PKR candidate he lost to in Rembau is waiting for the results to be gazetted. That guy is going to petition the SPR. KJ lost not only in the first count. He lost it in the second count as well. Then......a Pos Laju van appeared....and the rest is a foregone conclusion. And I was told tomorrow he will be a FULL minister no less. Other possibilities: NTR will take over KDN, Hishamuddin takes Defence. KJ could well be tasked with JKR. Wow that great....he has been collecting TOLL ever since he became SIL.
5. Khir Toyo asked the new Selangor MB when will water rates go down. Khalid told him in no uncertain terms......April. It will only cost the govt RM11M per month. Selangor can afford it he says. Khir Toyo shut himself up.

Ok troops....I could go on and on. But I am sure you guys are just as good as me if not better off in terms of being aware of the situation right now. All I am saying is ISLAM has taught us to be fair. In order to be fair get both sides of the story. Then figure it out. Observe. Learn. We dont have to belong to any party, because at the end of the day that is not what ALLAH is going to ask you. So dont bother to champion any party.....just take it with a pinch of salt and lets meet up for teh tarik and TALK COCK again as usual........
