The circus in UMNO is getting more and more interesting.
Looks like we are going to have a new PM soon. LOL
In order to cover up the power struggle within UMNO, Utusan has been making me its “cover girl” in the past few days. I am quite please to see the way they made me famous, because by doing so, they are degrading themselves. 🙂
In today’s Utusan, the Kedah UMNO chief is quoted as asking for DAP to take disciplinary action against me for my comments on detainees’ food. He also asked DAP to follow UMNO’s example in “taking action against Ahmad Ismail for allegedly uttering seditious words”.
Hi hi, he wants the party to take action against me for describing the ISA detention camp food “similar as dog food” ah? Don’t we have better things to do? 🙂
However, in the midst of such nonsensical noise, Ku Li has come out to take a stand to slam the recent ISA arrests. I am comforted that I at least have some friends in UMNO Kelantan.
These two news reports that were published in two different UMNO-owned papers also reflect the stand and position of these two papers on the ISA. One concentrating on trivial nonsensical matters while the NST has greater depth in its reporting and analysis.
Like the slogan in the Berita Harian TV advertisement: Zaman Sudah Berubah (Time Has Changed) …… The one who refused to change and still choose to stay behind times, will be chucked by readers sooner or later.

Razaleigh: Use of ISA has affected govt’s credibility
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah slams the recent ISA arrests
KUALA LUMPUR: Another Umno stalwart has criticised the recent use of the Internal Security Act, saying it had eroded the government’s credibility.
Gua Musang member of parliament and Umno presidential aspirant Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said the detention under the ISA of a blogger, newspaper reporter and an opposition MP had heightened rather than calmed racial fears.
“In the present context of a leadership struggle within Umno and a strong opposition, it is impossible to dispel the notion that these measures are calculated to keep certain individuals in power.
“Nothing does more to undermine the legitimacy of a government than plainly unjust acts,” Tengku Razaleigh said in a statement here.
His criticism follows that of former de-facto law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, who resigned from his cabinet post last week in protest against the ISA arrests.
Blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin was on Tuesday sent to the Kamunting detention centre in Perak where he will begin his internment of up to two years under Section 8 of the ISA.
Selangor senior executive councillor Teresa Kok and Sin Chew Daily reporter Tan Hoon Cheng have been released.
The arrests were also criticised by other Barisan Nasional component party leaders from the MCA and Gerakan.
In his statement, Tengku Razaleigh painted a bleak picture of the nation’s current political and economic situation.
He said the political and economic crisis could cascade into long-term instability for the country.
“I appeal to all parties to come together to hold an honest discussion about what is happening to our country.
“We need to come together to find unity and direction out of this dangerous situation.”
Utusan wajar saman Teresa (Utusan Malaysia 26/09/08)
Oleh ZAMZURINA AHMAD
YAN 25 Sept. – Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan UMNO Kedah, Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid berkata, akhbar Utusan Malaysia wajar menyaman Teresa Kok berhubung kelantangannya menuduh akhbar itu memutarbelitkan kenyataannya pada 19 September lalu.
Menurut Mahdzir, Ahli Parlimen Seputeh merangkap Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Kinrara itu seharusnya membuat pertimbangan sebelum memberi sebarang kenyataan.
”Seharusnya sebagai ahli politik dia perlu ada kredibiliti untuk menilai apa jua makanan yang diberikan semasa dalam tahanan.
”Dia juga perlu bertanggungjawab ke atas kenyataan yang telah diberikan berhubung isu makanan yang dibangkitkannya tanpa perlu menuding jari kepada pihak lain terutama Utusan Malaysia,” kata beliau kepada pemberita selepas menyampaikan bantuan mangsa banjir di Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan Guar Cempedak di sini hari ini.
Beliau mengulas desakan para pemimpin pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang menggesa Utusan Malaysia menyaman Teresa kerana membuat pelbagai tuduhan tidak benar terhadap akhbar itu.
Tambah Mahdzir, kenyataannya berhubung isu ‘makanan anjing’ seolah-olah satu penghinaan kepada pihak keselamatan terutama pasukan polis.
”Itu pun nasib baik polis bagi makan, kalau polis tak bagi makan, langsung dia tak makan,” ujarnya.
Beliau juga memberitahu bahawa Teresa tidak sepatutnya membuat kenyataan menghentam kerajaan dengan tuduhan sedemikian.
”Kita perlu ada pertimbangan apabila nak bercakap sesuatu. Jangan terlalu ekstrem hanya kerana mempunyai fahaman politik yang berlainan,” jelasnya.
Mahdzir turut menggesa agar DAP mengambil tindakan disiplin ke atas Exco Kerajaan Selangor itu seperti mana yang dilakukan oleh UMNO terhadap ahlinya sebelum ini.
”Contohnya Ahmad Ismail yang dikenakan tindakan disiplin kerana dikatakan menghasut dalam satu ucapannya di Permatang Pauh baru-baru ini.
”Jika DAP tidak mengenakan tindakan ke atas Teresa maka kita tahulah bagaimana pendirian sebenar parti itu,” tambahnya.
niche marketing
NST in international language and can be picked up by the relatively more educated locals and foreigners hence the reports must have a bit of credibility in it
UM mainly for the die hards, mono-lingo group and heartland readers … the quality of thought put in ….well, I’ll call it UMNO fanzine then
divide and rule is alive and well
Ms Utusan Cover Girl (LOL),
I want Ku Li to be our PM… You think can or not? I don’t feel comfortable with Najib but it seems everything UMNO doing now, is for the 2 persons, Abdullah and Najib… What about Ku Li who is running for presidency? Democracy for that 2 persons or democracy for the party?
This paper is not fit for reading by any decent citizen. If not for the Umnoputras, this paper is long dumped into garbage bins. No credibility, racialistic and run by a bunch of idiotic bums who are not qualified to be reporters. They bring shame and disgrace to the press community.
Anyway, Teresa these reporting bums can never discredit because majority of the rakyat know they are sick people with a twisted mind.
On the side note,
I really like to know your view towards the recent temple demolition, since you are one of the member of the state non-muslim affairs committee…
=================
Moderator says…
Temple demolished for renovation
KUALA LUMPUR: The Hindu temple in Ampang had been demolished by its own committee to make way for renovation and a face lift.
Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin said the public condemnation of the demolition and accusation lashed at the local council and state government was unfounded.
The PKR MP said MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy’s allegations were completely unfounded and untrue.
“The truth is the temple was demolished by its own committee to make way for renovation and a face lift. They did this of their own accord and did not consult nor seek approval from the state government beforehand.
“We did not even know about the demolition until it happened,” she said.
According to her, the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) was currently investigating the issue and was still waiting for the local council’s report.
My dog loves Utusan papers (especially the big blue word UTUSAN front page)so much that if I used other newspaper ,he refuses to pooo on it.Everyone with dog should try it out.
Dear Teresa,
You should see how the other MSM attempt to play up this issue by using the comments posted on your blog against you…

YB Teresa Kok,
We will have a new PM soon, and most people say he is none other than Najib Tun Razak, if you stick to the alphabet R.A.H.M.A.N. The name of our 6th PM starts with the letter N. But some people are of the opinion that the next PM could also also be a man whose name also starts with N – Nik Aziz (or Tok Guru). Do you all agree?
But my choice of the 6th PM of Malaysia is a man whose name starts with an ‘A’ hehe
leguan,
since you mention N, let’s throw in a few names
1) Najib
2) Nik Aziz
3) Ng Yen Yen
4) Nallakurappan
5) Nie Nie (Teo Nie Ching)
6) Nurul Izzah
7) Ng Wei Aik
8) Nelson Mandela (imported)
9) Remember Ngoh (the Sarawak Sukma Swimmer with that name)
10) Nori’s husband
🙂
Bentoh,
Teresa is in Pakatan and you ask her about Ku Li … you are gonna get 1 answer only
🙂
Okay..so be it. If the N is meant for that womaniser, then so be it as he has only another 4 years to sit his big smelly ass on the throne. After that, no more alphabets to follow right? That means no more UMNO goons to govern the country and we will definitely BOOT them out of office in the next GE. Be patience…Rome wasn’t built in one day. Keep the momentum going and Malaysia will have a new government for sure! Never…never lose hope when you know you are fighting a long hard battle for justice and equality.

Morning! Dont you have any other agenda than ISA? I really would like to know how you dwell in your constituency. Or just tell me how are going to run the country, or how you wish the nation be run. You know, after much campaigning in Permatang Pauh, I thought that that merdeka theme be further boosted, instead what came out from the PR declaration is to uphold the Constitution. Is merdeka gone to the drain?
YB Teresa Kok,
Beware! Every word that you say in public interview s or speeches is under close scrutiny by yr political opponents, since you’re now most famous female politician today. It’s understandable, yr increasing support among the kampung people, senior exco of the Selangor government have not gone down well with them. It’s like that onelah. The realities of politics.
From now on, yr voice need not be so ‘lantang’ because you’re already so famous. Give the BN people a chance to verbally attack you, and allow them to gain notoriety. PAKATAN RAKYAT could be on the verge of taking over and let the people know you speaking from the position of the government and they seem like the Opposition in their political wilderness. Choose your words well and speak with grace. I’m sure they will be more afraid of you and respect you.
You know what to do lah. You have a great future but what I’m worried is you could find yourself in jail again should they decide not to go for fair play…
lee wee tak,
Of the 10 names you mentioned, the (6) Nurul Izzah has set my mind thinking…. If UMNO’s successions is R.A.H.M.A.N then PAKATAN’s could be A.N.W.A.R. or Anwar Ibrahim, Nurul Izzah, (W..), (A..), (R..). Just predicting the unpredictable….
On a more serious note, PM N could end up as the country’s shortest-serving PM so far, or just PIW (PM-In-Waiting) only, if DSAI had his way. Let’s see. Anyway,it’s my personal view only.

what the heck is this?
molotov cocktails to Teresa’s house? First DAP Perak HQ and now this?
DAP never advocate violence. who is behind this? who incited such terrible uncivlised action
we must stop Malaysia from becoming a Palestine, Pakistan where violence rule over reason
PDRM better salvage their reputation by looking into this and take effective action
YB, I hope you and your family are safe and well
Gosh…what is this country becoming into? Obviously some of these uncivilised UMNO goons are going all out to intimidate any opposition politician who dares to speak out on issues that hurt them, isn’t it? If you can’t shut them up with ISA, I guess thuggery is another option to scare them. They are worse than thieves and robbers. No prize for guessing who is behind this latest terrorism act of cowardice!
Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart,and good news gives health to the bones. ( Proverbs 15 )
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.(Psalm 121:7 – 8)
UMNO cawangan Kedah dan Seputih, engkau semua tahukan apa itu perubahan zaman 2008? Kalau tindakan menuduh YB Teresa ini tidak munasabah takanlah En. Murugiah dan segelintiran masjid- masjid yang berkenaan tentu mengeji YB kita yang difitnah. Tetapi sebaliknya En Murugiah menyokong pendapatan YB dan masjid yang dituduh palsu juga menerangkan kisah sebenar terhadap tuduhan dari Utusan Malaysia yang melampau ini. Serta menyokong YB dan menindas penipuan berikut.
Tak bacakah berita terkini dan buat siasatan sendiri untuk mempastikan keadaan terkini. Jangan jadi macam khabar angin semata – mata untuk mengeluarkan bara di dalam hati yang diseludupi dengan api pembalasan dendam.
Jadi tutuplah acara tuduh menuduh dan focus kepada masyarakat perpaduan rakyat menerangi ekonomi yang serious ini. Jangan membasir kalau kemenangan ini semata-mata kurniaan Tuhan.
hmm…i study astrology..my master once said if najib be the pm, if he is good, he can bring back the country to stability, but once he is no good…he’ll bring it down..something like dat. and also…we see his birth chart…it’s one that is of a good mention… he will destroy anything or anyone in his way . as for abdullah..his chart of interesting character is he will sidestep religion in order to achieve his mission when no one is looking.. well just some sharing… 🙂 i myself have predicted march 8 political tsunami and also ‘saw’ nothing happen on sept 16. however…gov ‘sweet talk’ to the rakyat and rakyat is damned pissed off is very real in the astrology chart of malaysia.. 😛
Hy, you got to be thankful that you are their cover girl. That is impressive to say the least.
Shows you how big idiots they are. If they had any class in them at all, to insult you, they’d have run you with pictures and all on Page 3!! Somehow I doubt they will even understand what I am about. And if you do, hey I only hope to give you a little tickle here o.k. After all you do deserve some laughs after all that you have gone through.
