HULU SELANGOR | The "S-Word"

The MIC is threatening RPK with the "S-Word", Sedition!

All he has done was to examine the available facts which Edith Cowan University would attest to as being transparent. There were no "Bachelor of Communication or Mass Communication" officially offered by both Olympia or Edit Cowan. So how did Kala spring one up?

Ini jual "gambir" and "snake-oil" ke?

HULU SELANGOR | Kalamanathan, the Nowhere Man

An "Ulu" FELDA Settler and his humble abode

"I will not promise the moon or the stars. But, I will make sure that I will give my best to the people. Maybe this is not enough for some or maybe it is more than enough for others."

"I have told my friends we will only campaign on what I can do, my achievements, what BN can do and the coalition's accomplishments." [Kalamanathan, BN Hulu Selangor Candidate] - The New Straits Times

That's a confession. Zaid has done one earlier. Wouldn't you just wish Sammy Vellu would admit he's "botak"?

But that's fair for Kala. We don't expect him to do wonders. When Hulu Selangor is over and done with he'll have more friends for the future. That's wishing him well.

But Selangor is THE biggest Malaysian State. In economic terms, hypothetically, Selangor might as well be on it's own country than be hampered by Malaysia's UMNO/BN bad governance. Selangor's prosperity will make bizness and employment seekers from other states gravitate to it. For BN to exist, this cannot happen - Selangor must be brought down. And my friend, Kalamanathan, there ain't nothing you can do about it! What UMNO BN have done in the past was not to empower citizens with better income, (high income aside), and health but cheap labor from migrants and taxing and overburdening our health and security services.

So PR will reverse that trend. That's the only choice they got.

What I had hoped to hear from the PR Man, Kala is what he thinks about assets taken away by UMNO/BN - land, equity and most of all other rights. It would have been nice to hear what life has in store for the "ulu" people of Selangor. Will their children have places in universities? Will they have jobs if they graduates? Unemployment is horrid in Ulu Selangor - legacies of Mad Mat and the hantu Toyo! Lest he forgets, there's the Chinese poor and then there's the Indian poor. And all these are right smack in the midst of the richest Malaysian State. Squalor in the midst of opulence?

The Malay poor will be driven off like lemmings from their land. All the poor in Malaysia will be high and dry while the UMNO rich deposit their unholy gains offshores and in the stakes of their cronies here, there and everywhere.

Don't worry, Mr PR Man, Kala. The lemming thing was a bad Disney job which is a myth.

What is not is what the PR in Selangor will do to bury the myth and change things in Selangor: not in 50 years but 15 will be a huge success.

HULU SELANGOR | "Mabuk" election

A FELDA Project

It's amazing JAIS, JAIM and the Malaysian Islamic Councils are not handing out fines in Malaysia over bottle throwing in Hulu Selangor. Won't those Officials have more income from easy fines? They only collected RM500 over a religious offence from Bung Mokhtar. Maybe they are drunk.

Hulu Selangor (60% Malay majority) will make history for Malaysia though it is a very "ulu" place. BN knows too well, it cannot capture the seat. Were Malay feelings to run high Kalamanathan of MIC should just shake hands and make friends. The mess, the BN has left in Selangor will turn against them for the reckless manner they had disenfranchised the Malay landowners. Felda settlers (all Malays) whose land were acquired have still not been paid their dues, since the days of Muhammad Taib, or Mike Tyson as he's known to some. This anger will hopefully translate into votes for PR.

The alcohol sideshow will evaporate but could have a profound effect of sorts in lessening religious and culural prejudices and perhaps enlighten Malaysians at how the BN government has abused not only the civil institutions but also religious ones.

That should be a sobering thought, with or without the bottle.
