Likewise not everyone would agree with the other person's opinion or comment but we are free to air out our views and thoughts.<BR/>Now I'm writing about DSAI and you can persecute me if you wanted to because I don't get offended easily.<BR/>I know most people were very disappointed when DSAI failed to get the majority which he insisted he had. He even boasted and said more and more were crossing over. If that was the case why was September 16 just like any other day? Life went on as usual and those who wanted change went about doing their business with a big sigh of disappointment.<BR/><BR/>To be a good leader, one has to be truthful and not simply mislead the people into believing, and not only that, he more or less wanted to convince everybody that he was taking over the government on September 16. <BR/>Now people are disillusioned and their dreams for a better living seem to have shattered.<BR/>DSAI should be more cautious in his speech and should leave out the date September 16 for takeover of the government.<BR/>Maybe he had initially gotten the number but was played out by those fickle-minded MPs who "chicken out" when the going got tough for them...at the last minute.<BR/><BR/>I'm totally against this mode of changing government altogether. It would only destabilize the country and surely no good will come out of it because of the wrestling of power.

Baradan Kappusamy is doing worse than what Ahamd is doing bcoz Ahmad is a politician who like any other politician will try to sell himself through appealing to popular instincts but what about someone who claims to be a jounalist but behaves like an arsonist? Someone who pretends that he works for the profession of free ideas and truth exchange but clearly shows that he has no dignity however little it is and outrightly behaves like a criminal minded witch? If freedom of expression is fine, then hatred should be included and "squatters" "immigrants" "pork eating pagans", etc should be celebrated. Otherwise, these double standards where we enjoy when the people we "hate" or disagree with are characer assassinated and when they complain, we start saying that "freedom of expression" is a childish game that's not worth commenting on.

People must learn that DSAI is only the leading instrument of reform in Msia. Don't get distracted by the charisma and cult personality surrounding him. The reform wave will continue to be stronger by the minute, that is what he meant and it is a fact.<BR/> <BR/>Many politicians will see their careers go up and down following the Tsunami wave of Reform that has started to sweep through the nation. They can either flow with the wave towards safer harbour or sink against the waves.<BR/><BR/>The safe harbour is NOT Pakatan Rakyat nor DSAI nor Raja Petra. All these entities and personalities are mere instruments of reform that the nation needs. The authorities can oppress and suppress the leaders but they will only give more weight and momentum to the Reform wave. <BR/><BR/>With Najib and new players fighting for the top post in UMNO, the reform agenda is back on track as now the number of players is reduced by one and the probability of defeat and victory is more clear cut. Can Najib reinvent himself to be the new reformist? Let’s give him a chance lah before March 2009.

It is interesting that you are preaching from a higher ground today not knowing what others may think of you as well. Still, I respect your position. <BR/><BR/><BR/>That said, one paid whore Baradan Kappusamy is a well known shadowy figure. My own brother works in The Star and he told me he is specifically used to demonise Anwar and no one else. By the way, you have ever seen him demonising other leaders other DSAI? No. My own brother knows him and he always refuses to leave his contacs anywhere for fear that he may be bombarded with comments regarding his whore culture. Freedom of expression is not hateful propaganda. He doesn't work for any newspaper per se, he is only "contracted" for one thing: to write articles that demonise no body but Anwar. You call that freedom of expression? A cousin of mine who works with the Malay Mail even will send me his articles prior to their publishing simply to show how the Editor with "instructions above" has been directed to "contarct" one Baradan to run down Anwar. You think people don't know each other or what? Let me tell you, if I were to meet him, I will simply tell him that he is a whore. I even contacted IPS where he sometimes writes for them based on a paid article (he is not employed by any media group), and the Editor responsed to me saying he (Baradan) has requested that his contacts not to be given out. A senior Indian journalist based in Penang too tried to get it and they said he requests anonymity. You call that freedom of expression? I dare you to show his contacts and you will never see them. I dare you to show me any leader other than Anwar that he repeatedly demonises. Hatred is not expression but a crime. The fact some DSAI's blog readers said he should be banned (though they never that he operates as a shadowy figure) doesn't mean DSAI banned him. DSAI has been demonised for over a decade and he has never slowed for forces of bigotry, slander, hatred and racism. Why would you think he gives too hoots about a paid whore like Baradan who is a disgrace to the much marginalised Indian community (as my Indian blogger friend Antares) said? Or are you blaming DSAI for letting in the comments of his readers? By the way, if you don't know, DSAI is not the person who moderates the comments on his blog but it is other people. In fact, he doesn't run the blog, he only writes in it sometimes and sometimes it is used by his officers to make announcements and it is they who moderate comments not DSAI. Get that as well. But don't have the temerity to preach to us that immoral beings like Baradan need entertainment. You can't entertain hateful elements who are paid to assassinate you. Look deep down into your eyes and put yourself into other people's shoes. Only then would you appreciate the truth.Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284430356220332651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27256617.post-70980828057462539342008-09-29T13:24:00.000+08:002008-09-29T13:24:00.000+08:00Grow up man Charles Hector ,No need to dissect eac...Grow up man Charles Hector ,No need to dissect each and every word and comments.<BR/>Definitely it's his own blog and i he even replies<BR/> to the comments.<BR/><BR/>That guy could write anything he wants.
