Landslide victory... and landslides...

The b y election in KT is not gonna be as hot as PP44. At least thats my geuss. BN already won half of the support when the top dogs announced Terengganu will be receiving the oil royalties directly, not as wang ehsan. Mat Said would sure be jumping up and down while Deris is cursing.

Talking about wang ehsan, i'm not sure if the general public is aware of the immense influence it has on KT voters. I've even been reminded by some family members NOT to show too much criticism... why? cause it would effect their wang ehsan money. I mean... i oppose and criticize the government.... and anyone related to me gets the backlash??? Believe me, its true. Its a culture UMNO has developed over the years and i doubt it'll go away.

I think i did mention before that some heads in Terengganu are still 50-50 with the federal BN. Some maintain superficial courtesy... some downright show disgust. It'll be a good show... this coming by election. Will PR exhibit the same show of force and crowd pulling affinity as PP44? Will FRU's be hovered around KT to force people to fear going against BN? Remember... the incident in Marang... during the last GE. I believe PAS will go all out.

I do like Terengganu as a temporary home. A week here, then back to Selangor. Maybe 2 weeks max. Its a peaceful place, with nice people... lots of fresh fish. Lots of suraus and masjids that are active. A sign that KT is rather a religious stronghold of sorts. But never can i stay there permanently. The place is too laid back. The people are too relaxed.. and laid back. Business... cant see anything promising just yet except for agriculture. Seriously, the state should go all out like crazy and make Terengganu Malaysia's top food producing state.

I hope Najib crashes and dies before becoming PM. I'd rather KJ than him. At least KJ wont go around blowing up people. Razak's freedom might be short lived, and somehow i think this case might be a time bomb for Najib... especially when the late Altantuya's daddy goes to the international court. We can't have a Prime Minister being investigated for murder can we? But then again, Malaysia is unique. We even elect statutory rapists as leaders. Cool.

Whats the deal with Valuecap anyway? Those involved should really be investigated. Sumthin soooo smelly and fishy about it.

Talking about fishy... the recent landslides have brought memories of Highland Towers back. As some authority of the issue said, we still haven't learned. I suggest we open up all documents relating to the involved development, from the contractors, PBT, CIDB, DOE, all the way to JKR... go one by one... publish those who APPROVED such projects and hold them accountable. Let them be directors, consultants or who ever. We are talking about LIVES, not just money. Blood is on these peoples hands and those who perished deserve redemption. I'm sure those documents are easily to be obtained. Owh, Pak Lah did mention something about not blaming the previous administration but concentrate on relief and solving the current problem... or sumthin like that. We are blessed with a stupid leader. His statement says it all. Let bygones be bygones? WTF, doesn't he realise we are talking about dead MALAYSIANS. And theres nobody to take responsibility???? Same goes with the Tasik Chini issue..... loggers & contractors polluting the lake for years... and the state government is asking for FEDERAL funds, tax payers money to clean up the mess???? Shoot the guy who made that demand, be it Tok Denan skalipun. What kind of logic are they using?

The Jimah IPP is another issue. RM500million... thats no small amount. And the owners... N9 royalty. I have always hated royalty. The carry the image of blind, clueless, parasitic imbeciles... trying to represent Islam??? We are all doomed to hell. I find it tough sometimes to follow the imams doa each time after the khutbah... praying for the longetivity of rulers. Do they really deserve it? If most of them were like HRH Mizan, well, maybe. HRH, the Agong is adorned by his people in Terengganu... and HRH of Kelantan as well. HRH of Selangor? He's just a sulking kid since all his pet politicians were ousted. If he was smart, he'd embrace PKR all out... its the voice of the people... HIS people. Bummer. If only intelligence was genetically linked, i'd pray for a line of rulers with brains. No datukships for Selangor politicians or any politician this year for Selangor. Good in a sense, but then again, most Selangor assemblymen were activists and non-profit non-glamorous type of people. The UMNO administration before? Huh. Malas nak cakap... paham2 sendiri je la.
