Saya sekarang berada dalam Dewan Tun Syed Nasir menunggu Debat Perdana antara Datuk Seri Anwar dan Daro Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

Di Indonesia atau negara maju, debat merupakan perkara yang biasa, debat presiden Amerika menarik tontonan jutaan.

Tetapi, Malaysia begitu sensitif. Saya melalui 3 roadblocks baru sampai. 3 truck polis FRU menunggu di luar seakan-akan debat akan menyebabkan rusuhan.

Perjalanan Demokrasi masih jauh lagi.

Ayuh, VIP baru sampai. Jom sama-sama ikut debat kat TV9, Bernama TV dan laman kerajaan Selangor.

It all started in March, there were a few new younger staffers came into the office to volunteer.

All of his earlier staffs, Nik Nazmi, Nurul Izzah and me have been assigned to contest in the General Election, we all won. There was a vacumm and Shaiful came in. He was introduced by another junior staff who was assisting Nik Nazmi.
 
We believe he was planted because we received information about his cozziness with UMNO bigshots very early, Anwar decided to gave him chance and did not think a 23 year old would do any harm to him. 

DSAI seek refuge in several embassies due to security threat after the incidents. Police sources had informed us that they will arrest him that night. As an old man with a back injury, all of us advised him to seek refuge. He simply could not undergo the hell of 1998 again. Several embassies offered the refuge, he chose Turkey.
 
That was the basic story. It is important to note that the timing of this incident, because, BN is suffering attacks from all sides. Within BN there are serious internal squabbles. Outside BN there is a huge oil hike crisis out there and people are suffering. Then, there is Altantuya case haunting Najib’s and his wife. There are no significant reform done to judiciary, police and governance. So, as a result, they decided to divert the attention.
 
It is important for civil societies to focus on the reform agenda: Democracy, judicial reform, rule of law, police reform, freedom of media etc. Do not let the BN get away with these dirty tactics.
 
This is the critical time for the country to move forward or go back to dirty politics that is so “menjijikan”. Let us all try to push through the critical reform agendas. Do not lose focus. Write blogs, share ideas, send sms, organize forums to bring reform to the country. I think the March 8 General Election has sent BN a strong message. 
 
Sincerely,
Sim

The floodgate for an exodus has opened. The BN’s days are numbered. Today, SAPP has fired the first shot of jumping ship. Read: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/84637

What will happen for next few days, weeks and months will be one of the most important periods in our country’s history. After March 8, the BN government led by PM Datuk Seri Ahmad Badawi has proved that he did not have the vision and capacity to lead the country for betterment. He has lost his credibility by doing nothing to Royal Commission of Lingam Tape, unable to control worsening crime, no reform on the police force, unable to control food price and in fact fueling the rise with oil hike.

Today, we have the golden opportunity to change the course of the county towards people centered policies, good governance, globally competitiveness and turn around our economy. Bravo to SAPP for taking the lead. At challenging time like this, we need leadership, courage and faith to lead changes. SAPP has proved their worth by taking the lead.

We demand other BN leaders to take similar steps. We would like to call upon all BN wakil rakyat to do the right thing. Please show us that you care for the country. Please show us you have the courage to change the course of the country. Please show us the leadership that you can make tough and bold decision at critical times.

Join Pakatan Rakyat NOW!

Isu minyak gara-gara menjadi perdebatan kalangan pimpinan PKR. Maka Secretariate PKR mengadakan sessi perbincangan para ahli parlimen dan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri dengan 3 tokoh pakar ekonomi dan sosiologi, ie Prof Rajah Rasiah, Prof Jomo K.S. dan Dr Syed Husin Ali.

Perbincangan giat membincangkan implikasi kenaikan harga minyak dan juga pengangkutan awam. Isu fiskal dan monetary juga dibincangkan untuk mengurangkan defisit negara. Paling ketara adalah langkah-langkah untuk menggurangkan pembasiran awam.

Sesi pagi ini akan diteruskan dengan sesi-sesi berikutan pada hujung bulan ini. Usaha untuk memperkasakan wakil rakyat untuk memperjuangkan agenda rakyat giat dijalankan.
