Naked Politics

Naked politics grip Malaysia as corruption watchdog bites state governor over car and cows.

After Perak crisis and paralysis  via political frog hop,now Selangor suffers humilation of  one-two punches of nude expose and corruption watchdog big power bark~bite.


That's the new naked bare knuckles tactic in the last month of outgoing premier Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi pressured by UMNO leaders to step down ahead of his earlier planned exit.

As premier-designate Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak prepares to take over UMNO leadership in late March,we witness vile devious political play.

Today Democratic Action Party(DAP) chairman Karpal Singh criticizes Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for compromising its independence and integrity.

Its chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan has literally jumped into the political fray

He barks aloud and bites Selangor Mentri Besar (Chief Minister or State Governor)Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim with claim of "good and strong evidence" of Khalid's alleged abuse of power over car maintenance and charity beef gift.

This historic statement by MACC,set up as an independent body by Malaysia's Parliament, seems to be contrary to its aims and objectives.

One is reminded of the earlier character assassination attempt on former deputy premier Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim via media prosecution.

Now it happens again.

Karpal stresses corruption watchdog has departed from its role with such serious allegation without proper legal process in court.

In fact, Khalid has already filed two defamation suits in Shah Alam High Court against his predecessor, discredited ousted former Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr.Mohd Khir Toyo.

His lawyer,Sankara Nair, filed the suits on Wednesday (February 18,2009).

Khir Toyo, now Selangor opposition leader and state assemblyman of Sungei Besar,has alleged Khalid misused state funds to upkeep his luxury Lexus car and distribute charity beef from slaughter of 46 cows during Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration at his Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary constituency.

Amid severe recession, Malaysia is hard hit by horrendous political storm of wild emotions and foul furious terror furore.

In the pursuit of power by any means some political masters have forgotten basic human rights,constitutional law,fairness and reasonableness.

Naked politics at its worst aimed at maximum damage,defamation and destruction are used without scruples.

This alarming trend is evident in recent events as follows:-

*Death threat with live bullets sent to Karpal Singh's home at Jalan Utama,Penang.

The death threat warns Karpal that his family would be burned to death for fooling around with Malay rulers and Malay issues.

Karpal, a prominent lawyer,had earlier stated he would sue Perak sultan for acting ultra vires Perak Constitution.

*Assasination threat on Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng for strong statements on modern democracy and removal of immunity of rulers from being sued by former premier Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed during Constitutional Crisis.

*Similar death threat on Perak State Assembly Speaker V.Sivakumar for chairing State Assembly Special Privileges Committee that has issued suspension orders on National Front Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Dr. Zambry and his six-member executive council(exco) for contempt of the House.

Acting on complaint from Canning state assemblyman Wong Kah Woh, the panel summoned Zambry and his exco to appear before it at 3.30 p.m. on Wednesday(February 18,2009).

It bars Zambry from the Perak State Assembly for 18 months and the others each for 12 months for acting  "unconstitutionally and illegally in contempt of the House".

This means National Front now commands only 21 votes against People Alliance's 28 votes in the Perak State Assembly next formal sitting.

Sivakumar has also ruled the three political frogs who earlier switched allegiance from People Alliance to National Front as having resigned and vacated their seats for he holds copies of their signed letters of resignation.

He says Zambry.his exco and the three political frogs would be thrown out if they attend the forthcoming formal sitting of Perak State Assembly.

Meanwhile,ousted People Alliance Perak Mentri Besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin has vacated Perak Mentri Besar official residence to continue his fight for truth and justice against the National Front Perak power grab via political frog hop in Kuala Lumpur.

Nizar and his 10-member exco have filed constitutional law suit at Kuala Lumpur High Court to declare Zambry and his six-member exco "illegal and unconstitutional".
The five-page suit with  supporting affidavits from Sivakumar and Nizar seeks judicial review to declare Nizar as the legitimate Perak Mentri Besar and an injunction to stop Zambry or his agents from carrying the duties and functions of Mentri Besar.

High Court judicial commissioner Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof has offered to recuse himself from hearing the landmark constitutional law case to escalate it to the Federal Court in the interest of speed and finality.

His grounds are his previous involvement in PAS legal matters, PKR legal issues and National Front election petition in Sarawak.

His decision is to preserve justice and integrity of the court.

Nizar also urges the court to disqualify Perak legal adviser for National Front Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid from acting for Zambry as Zambry is being sued in his personal capacity, not as Perak Mentri Besar.

Hence,Zambry has no right to make use of Perak state's resources including its state legal adviser.

So Perak now has historic two Mentris Besar and two state governments each claiming legitimacy as  political frog hop flop escalates into terror death threats and poltical rape.

Outgoing premier Abdullah has urged Zambry and his exco to lodge police report against Sivakumar.

He feels the Perak State Assembly Speaker has shown disrespect to Perak sultan who had sworn in Zambry and his exco based on his advice.

First Perak.Now Selangor.Elizabeth Wong,poor soul,has given up and fled the country in deep distress and humiliation over her "political rape" as her nude pictures are being circulated via MMS and mass media.

As one reviews the train of events with legal suits and police reports flying like hailstones raining like cats and dogs, one would keep cool and ask some vital questions,viz:-

Have we forgotten what makes a society great?

Do decency,justice and right mean anything at all?

Why not solve the Perak crisis by calling for fresh state election?

Can't the people exercise the right to vote and pick representatives of their choice in Perak State Assembly?

Well, what's next? Worst moves? More foul play? And use of ISA? Declaration of State of Emergency?
