I went to Miri on last Friday, May 29, to attend the fund raising dinner organized by the DAP Miri Branch.I like Miri, a city with a population of only 30,000, since the first time I visited this serene town sometime 10 years ago. The Miri airport is just 10-minute drive from the city center and I love the shady raintrees along the way.The town centre is small by any standard of a city but the

The Court of Appeal overturned the decision of Kuala Lumpur High Court which ruled that Dato Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddinn was the legitimate Menteri Besar of Perak, today. The decision of the Court of Appeal will have a serious implication to the interpretation of our Federal Constitution and all the Constitutions of the states. Nevertheless, as Nizar can still appeal to the Federal Court, the

Some people may ask why do we refer to Parliamentary Practice by Erskine May (1815-1886) whenever discussing issues on parliamentary practice.The direct answer to it is that Erskine May, a collection of parliamentary practice for hundreds of years, has been the foremost authority in Parliament of the United Kingdom, the blueprint of all parliaments in the Commonwealth. Over the years, Erskine May

I am appalled by the statement of the Deputy Speaker of Dewan Rakyat Malaysia, Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi bin Tuanku Jaafar, as published in the a Chinese daily, Sin Chew Jit Poh, today.He made the statement when commenting the decision of the Privileges Committee of Selangor Legislative Assembly to recommend the suspension of Dato Seri Khir Toyo from the service of the House for a year after being

Contempt of House of Parliament or the Legislative Assembly is a serious offence. However, the definition of contempt is rather wide. In Erskine May Parliamentary Practice, 23 rd Edition, page 128, it is generally defined as follows:-“…any act or omission which obstruct or impedes either House of Parliament in the performance of its function, or which obstructs or impedes any Member or officer of

YB Sivakumar was supposedly removed as Speaker of Perak State Legislative Assembly by a motion tabled by YB Dr Zambry this morning when the Deputy Speaker was chairing the meeting from her assemblyman’s seat in the presence of the Speaker who was then still occupying the Speaker’s chair. The office of Speaker is provided by the constitution. As such, the election and removal of the Speaker shall

It was reported that Perak State Legislative Assembly held its emergency meeting under a tree(The Malaysian Insider), at a car park (Malaysiakini). Is that lawful?By convention and under normal circumstances, legislative assembly meeting should be held in the assembly building. However, if that is not expressly provided either by the Constitution or the Standing Order, the meeting may be held at

Everyone is asking who is the Secreatry of Perak State Legislative Assembly who defies the order of the Speaker. However what is more important to ask is, "what is he?".In the House of Commons in England, the Secretary of the House is called the Clerk. There is a Department of the Clerk of the House which comprises several offices for which each office is in charge of a Principal Clerk.The

Even Tan Sri Muhammad bin Mohd Taib also offers himself for the No.2 possition in Umno as reported by the Malaysiakini today. 11 years ago in 1997, to avoid the embarrassment that might cause by my motion of no confidence against him in the Selangor State Legislative Assembly, Mohammad made a wise choice of resigning as the Chief Minister of Selangor after he was arrested in Brisbane Airport for

Latest from Malaysiakini: Abdullah to quit in March next year. Thus, it ends all speculations.Now all eyes are on Najib.If Anwar Ibrahim were to have sufficient number to take over the Federal Government from the Barisan Nasional, the same methodology as I wrote in my previuos post would similarly be applicable.(Edited version)

Everyone is still waiting for Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's announcement. Read Malaysiakini today on the related story.If Abdullah wanted to retain his position as Umno president, the Pakatan Rakyat would have to resort to casting no confidence vote against him in Parliament. By virtue of Article 43(4), the Prime Minister shall tender the resignation of the Cabinet if he ceases to command

Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will make announcement tomorrow if he is seeking to retain the president's post of the Umno.There are a few possibilities. Firstly, he might call it a day and will retain the prime minister's post until the election of the new Umno president next March. This seems to be the view of most of the Umno top leaders.Secondly, he might fight on against all odds. Of course

Before Datuk Abdullah Ahamd Badawi can annouce his decison whether to contest for the Umno presidency on this Oct 9, he has already been treated as transparent by his own leaders within the Umno.Everyone in the Umno, except Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, has taken for granted that Dato Najib Abdul Razak will be the only and natural choice of substitute. As such, the relatively unknown leader like Dato

Undoubtedly, the Malaysia political landscape has changed after the general election on March 8, 2008. The frontline politicians have also, in the past few months, been learning how to adapt themselves to the change.It is sometime amusing to see how those established politicians from the previous ruling party have to struggle to pick up new vocabulary in order to suit their roles as opposition

After 50 years of independence and 50 years under the government of Barisan Nasional, the people of Selangor will march into a new era. The new government will swear in today. The State Executive Council consists of 10 members led by the Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, will swear in before HRH Sultan of Selangor at Balairung Seri, Alam Sham Palace.

It may or may not be a controversial issue but the Selangor DAP leaders, who will swear in as exco members before HRH Sultan on Monday, will wear Songkok in compliance with the palace dress code. When the DAP was in the opposition, we had the option not to attend any official function which requires Songkok as part of the dress code. We had exercised that option. That had been the party policy

Someone blamed me for not taking the initiative to advise our Selangor State Assemblyperson on the dress code when seeking audience with HRH Sultan. Well, I must say again that we must get the facts right before making any conclusion. Like Raja Petra, I knew about the said assemblyperson wearing pants from the photograph published in the media. That was after the event. I did not see her before

I do not intend to discuss the issue of songkok at this juncture but I need to clarify a question raised here.It is not a requirement to wear songkok in the Chamber of the State Assembly for swearing-in ceremony, annual openning ceremony or meeting. It is only a requirement in the palace when seeking audience or attending function, except the state dinner or black tie dinner. This requirement has

Yes, I forgot to remind Raja Petra and his readers. Please beware of the BN-controlled media for digging up and pittiing the old issues, including the Songkok issue, against us. Seek clarification among us, since we are in the same boat, before putting anything into writing. That will help to reduce unnecessary controversy.

Raja Petra made scathing remarks on me in Malaysia-Today.Although I am in the rush to go to Penang now, I have to respond immediately.Firstly, I did not organize any demonstration to pressurize the DAP into making me the Deputy Menteri Besar of Selangor. I do not know how did Raja Petra gather the information that I had done that. If he likes rumours and then to rumour, then that is what he is

I have been keeping a low profile in the past few days in the midst of various speculations. My fellow Malaysian, Wan, whom I do not know personally, emailed me and said he needed to hear my side of story. I agree with him that I should say something to clear the air.It has been reported in the local media that Ronnie Liu (Selangor DAP State Assemblyman for Pandamaran), Teresa Kok (Selangor DAP

Unlike the last general election where there was an extension of 2 hours after poll closed at 5.00 pm in all the Selangor polling centres, the polling centres closed at 5 pm sharp today. No serious incident occured in Selangor today. Polling centres in Sungai Pinang were also calm except that there was a complaint in Sekolah Kebangsaan Rantau Panjang where in one of the streams, the SPR officers

All things seem to be smooth this morning when the voters went to their respective polling stations this morning to decide the fate of the country for the next 50 years, in north Klang where the Sungai Pinang state constituency is. However, I was quite disgusted with what my opponent and his agents had done. They had put up banners at all the polling stations attacking my character. When

I broke my own record of attending 5 ceramah a night, last night, when I successfully went to 2 places in Kajang, Kampung Baru Subang, SS2 Petaling Jaya and Kompleks Sukan Pandamaran Klang to deliver my speech. The first in Kajang is in support of the PKR state candidate for Kajang, Lee Kin Sin, my old friend. I then went to another constituency within Kajang town to speak for the DAP

On 5.3.2008, I attended the 4 ceramah in Pandan Indah to support the DAP state candidate, Lee Ying Ha, and PKR Parliamentary candidate, Syed Shahrir. For the first time I saw the people in Pandan were so excited to listen to all the speakers. I think Ying Ha had a good chance while Syed will have to work very hard as he is facing the strong figure from the MCA, Ong Tee Kiat. I then rushed to

The DAP Penang ceramah broke the DAP Klang ceramah record in collecting fund. The new record is RM123,000.00. This will be a very difficult figure to break in this election campaign by any other ceramah.

Yes! Klang people want to lead.Our ceramah last night at the Klang Hokkien Association Hall collected from the floor a total of RM63,000.00 for our election fund. This is a new record for the DAP collection from a single ceramah function. The crowd patiently listen to 10 speakers, namely, S.

I set my record of attending 4 ceramah a night from north Johor to south Johor last night. I arrived at the DAP-PKR joint operation center, probably first of its kind, at Tangkak at about 6.30 pm and spoke to about 200 people before the sunset. The crowd was responsive despite its small number. I left immediately for Yong Peng and was greeted by about 300 enthusiastic crowd at about 8.00 pm. It

I was surprised to see about 6,000 people turned up at the DAP ceramah at USJ 12 last night. This was so far the largest ceramah crowd I had seen in this election. The ceramah was held at the field of USJ 12. DAP cadidate for Subang Jaya, Hannah Yeoh, also surprised me with her oratory skill. For a fresh candidate of her young age, she was simply impressive.I am very opstimistic about the

I was about to take my bath at about 2.00 am this morning after attending the dinner in Sekinchan and after a brief meeting at the DAPKlang Utara branch when I received the call from Sdr John Lim, DAP candidate for a state seat in Melaka. I thought he wanted to remind me of the Melaka ceramah to be held at Pey Fong School on 2.3.2008 which I had agreed to attend. In fact, he just wanted to show

The fund raising dinner organized by the DAP Sekinchan branch in support of Sdr Ng Suee Lim, DAP candidate for Sekinchan state seat, attracted more than 2,000 people.

Many of them told me that they had attended my ceramah at the Hokkien Hall the night before and enjoyed very much the speeches from various speakers. I then visited one of the largest pasar malam in Klang at Jalan Meru. The response was equally encouraging. I met my

The contest in the state seat of Sungai Pinang is very significant for the Barisan Nasional as the Menteri Besar has targeted to win it and the seat of Sekinchan in order to achieve the target of 'zero opposition' in Selangor. He has the confidence that the opposition will not win all other seats.In the last election, the Barisan Nasional had swept all the 22 Parliamentary seats in Selangor and

Tan Sri Dato Oon bin Ismail, UMNO Permanent Chairman cum Speaker of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly, who is also father of Senator Datin Paduka Nor Hayati binti Onn Ismail, said "the matter is now in Syariah Court".That was Oon's justification when attempting to stop Ng Suee Lim, DAP Selangor State Assemblyman for Sekinchan, from deliberating on the photograph (or rather its negative)

MP for Gombak, Datuk Dr Rahman Ismail and Senator Datin Paduka Nor Hayati Onn Ismail have both denied that they are connected to the photograph that I posted here yesterday (The Star Nov 28, 2006).Let's wait and see who else will come forward and clarify.

I was one of the recipients of the above photograph. The man, apparently wearing a bathrobe, is a Member of Parliament at the lower house (Dewan Rakyat) and the woman in his chest is a Senator. Both are married but not to each other.The scene seems to be a typical hotel bathroom where a towel rack and a clothes-line box can be seen on the upper left of the photograph.What could they possibly be

Dato Sivalingam Karrupiah announced yesterday that the restaurant operated by his wife and son in an illegal structure erected on his land will be closed pending the approval of the building plan.Dato Sivalingam might accuse me, as he did yesterday, of having political motive in exposing that he had allowed an illegal structure erected on his land to run a restaurant but the indisputable fact

Last minute change.For reasons best known to itself, the Klang Municipal Council has changed the date for the swearing-in ceremony of the councillors back to tomorrow again from Nov 30 as announced yesterday.

Yes, finally the "DZ Satay House" owned by Zakaria bin Deros and his son, Zainuri, is demolished!The Klang Municipal Council (MPK) began its operation at about 10 a.m. this morning and spent about 2 hours to finish off the infamous and illegal structure erected on the road reserve. Present at the scene were the journalists and members of public, including about 30 Zakaria's supporters. To avoid

An Indian restaurant, Sri Muthiara, situated beside Selangor Road Transport Department (JPJ)in Padang Jawa, Klang has been operating in an illegal structure since 2004 and no action has been taken by the Shah Alam City Council. The reason must be that it belongs to Dato Sivalingam a/l Arumugam Karuppiah, the Selangor State Executive Council member.I brought the journalist to the site this

DZ Satay House owned by Zakaria Deros and his son, Zainuri, will be demolished by the Klang Municipal Council tomorrow morning.The illegal structure is situated on the Federal road reserve.However, until and unless the "Istana Zakaria" is also demolished, nobody will be convinced that there is no double standard in the enforcement of laws in this country, especially in Selangor.

The swearing-in ceremony of the Klang Municipal Councillors has been postponed again, for the 3rd time, to Nov 30, 2006. The councillors were initially supposed to take office on Oct 19, 2006. However, it had to be postponed to Nov 8 as a result of the exposure of the "Istana Zakaria". After the intervention of the Sultan who wanted a full clean list of councillors, the ceremony was again put off

At last, my letters to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) dated 27.2.2006 and 11.1.2006 on Zakaria Deros had received a reply from Pn Hasmah binti Abdullah, CEO of the IRB today, a copy of which had been faxed to me last week.Well, at least there is an official, albeit bureaucratic, answer to a complaint. I have yet to hear from our Director General of the Anti Corruption Agency. Probably, his

The Sun reported today that Dato Zakaria bin Md Deros, Selangor State Assemblyman for Port Klang, was a undischarged bankrupt when he held the office of senator from Sept 10 to Nov 24, 1992.Zakaria was appointed a senator on July 30, 1991 and served two terms until July 31, 1997. He was adjudicated a bankrupt on Sept 10, 1992 but discharged on Nov 24, 1992.Article 48(1)(b) of the Federal

It is not time for celebration yet.Zakaria may have to let go his municipal councillorship, but that does not end his political career in Klang and Selangor under the present decadent political culture in the UMNO and the Barisan Nasional.I said in my press statement today:-"Zakaria’ issues are far from overAlthough Dato Zakaria bin Md Deros, Selangor State Assemblyman for Port Klang, has

I received information that Dato Zakaria bin Md Deros was once a bankrupt when he was appointed a senator. He took a few months to discharge himself to save him the senatorship. However, I have yet to receive the relevant documents to verify it and without which I am unable to assess that in the event it was true, would it affect his appointment then and the subsequent entitlement of pension

I have sent a letter to Selangor Menteri Besar, Dato Seri Dr Mohd Khir bin Toyo, this morning highlighting a legal point on the position of Dato Zakaria bin Md Deros, Mazlynoor bin Abdul Latiff and Faizal Abdullah as councillors in the Klang Municipal Council as I have pointed out in my press statement on 31.10.2006.I have said that the tenure of the trio had expired on 3.9.2006 and their new

Dato Zakaria bin Md Deros is again in the limelight.This time he is found to be the chairman of the Land Committee of PKNS (Selangor Economic Development Corporation) which has approved the land application from the Selangor Badminton Association for which he is also the president.

Port Klang State Assemblyman, Dato Zakaria Deros, shed crocodile tears at a press conference yesterday.After the reporters left his house, his supporters cheerfully congratulated him for his fantastic performance and called him "P. Ramlee".All the press have correctly pointed out that he evaded important points that the people are entitled to know. He did not know that he cannot fool the people

Khir Toyo is caught with his pents down when he desperately and shamelessly attempts to salvage his badly damaged image by, firstly, saying that he had asked Zakaria bin Deros to give up the post of councillor before his audiece with Sultan of Selangor and, secondly, suggesting that the Local Government Act 1976 be amended to enable the appointment of professional as councillors (NST and The Sun)
