Ah, Khir Toyo the Blogger!

Ex-Selangor MB starts blog. The Malaysian blog scene has become that more interesting and diverse today with the addition of former Menteri Besar of Selangor, Dr Khir Toyo. Visit Cetusan Datuk Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo at www.drkhir.blogspot.com

KT will be speaking at a conference on April 1 in Kuala Lumpur, which will feature, among others, Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Mukhriz Mahathir. Interesting times ahead.

p.s. Will the present MB of Selangor start a blog as well? After he's done with his series of interviews with the mainstream media, that is ...

    "..Khir Toyo the Blogger". Initially I read wrong and read "..Khir Toyo the Bugger" and thought you had some beef to take up with him.

    Cetusan?

    Why, is he going to give "outbursts" or tantrums regularly? On what?

    Maybe he's got a lot of free time now.

    In addition, Shahidan Kassim is also going to start a blog. It seems that he is quite serious about becoming a blogger (go to Agenda Daily web page for more).

    A lot of free time he has - no more biz for his 100+ companies.
    Now he is checking on MB Khalid as an Opposition ex MB.
    Wonder what criteria he has to do this?
    He should open a Dental klinik and do real biz.
    Maybe a Facial surgery klinik as well.

    From my raw observation .. bloggers who won (eg Jeff and Nik Nazmi) have not been updating their blog quite as often as they used to. So its not surprising that non-bloggers who used to be in govt. to start blogging. Yes ypu're are right Rocky that the next 4-5 years is going to be interesting and the biggest winners is going to be the rakyat... HOOray...

  9. Welcome to the blogging world, Dr Khir!

    I may not agree with many things you did when you were MB, but this one thing I will support you - your blog!

    Let us blog about the truth and for the people.

    If the present MB, Dato Khalid ibrahim, starts his own blog, that will be even better.

    Well, khir has made heaps of 'cetusan'during his tenure as MB. cheating, robbing, lying and shredding.

    It's quite interesting to read the words 'Allah' and 'Islam' in his introductory. just wondering whether he knows something about those two words, knowing he is the most corrupted minister in selangor.

  16. This donkey thinks just being a blogger he can become popular again and can win the next election. He is a snake. He is going to use the Malay trump card at every twist and corner to gain sympathy. He will try show that he is fighting for the cause of Malays. I sincerely hope that Malaysian be very of this racist. What Perjuangan he is talking about? Robbing the Rakyat money for his coffers. We should teach this snake a lesson so hard that he shd never dream of coming back.

    Don't know about you guys .. but I see this as a positive development for blogging in Malaysia.
    At least Khir Toyo is putting his name to his blog, unlike Anon bloggers who have no balls. At least also he does not get cybertroopers to do the job for him.

    Khir Toyo is not part of the AAB-SIL-Kali-Patrick Bodowi connection. To me, that makes him readable.

    And he is Opposition now! I love underdog, man.

  23. bro, I wonder how they now think that with a blog they can win back the seat they lost. But Toyo has made one sensible decision finally. I say welcome. Blogs have suddenly become a 'fashion' in the aftermath of a failed election in UMNO. When Nazri blogs then we'll shame him for all those names he's used on all bloggers. The keyboard has finally slaughtered the money of UMNO and BN. Onward bloggers ! I'm in my hometown Taiping attending my SGI old boys dinner now and boy it's good to be back on familiar ground and happy and excited talk is abuzz of the new govt. Change is indeed GOOD ! Cheers !

    welcome to the blog scene. it is interesting to see an Umnon politician like yourself who has been feeding on the royal breasts of the kerajan join the intelligent blog community.

    there is always room for corrupt umno politicians here in blogsphere, but rest assured khir, bloggers and those who interact on blogs are a different breed from the likes of corrupt umno cronies like yourself. we have been exposing the filth and those who celebrate the filth and those who justify the filth long before you felt it was necessary to spray yourself some perfume on that filth.

    it seems that many umno cronies that casts insults on bloggers are now swallowing their own droppings and speaking from another part of their anotomy. it never ceases me how low you umnoputras can go to to save your corrupt behinds.

    may you reap what you so, and may you be shamed for the atrocities you have inflicted on the rakyat and peoples of this beloved nation

    You can't expect the truth from him becoz he will not apologise, repent, ask for forgiveness, admit or own up to his crooked past.

    He will rubber-stamp everything BN puts out. For that, we have other sources.

    A Simple Message for Khir Toyo,

    How do you account for a fact that the wretched BN regime in Selangor helmed by your goodself is the MOST CORRUPT in this country.

    BTW, how would you like to refute what Citizen Nades of the once-glorious Sun paper said about what you did or RATHER DID NOT DO to eliminate CORRUPTION, CRONYISM AND NEPOTISM in the wretched local councils of Selangor?

    How come when you were defeated in the last GE12, government files are destroyed and or went missing? You got anything to hide??

    Remember in blogosphere, your credibility are judged by how you give your answers or rather you have the right to remain silent though. I bet the day will come when netizens become a rare species in visiting your blog if you fail to tidy up the dirty skeletons in your dark and dingy closet.

    Peeple!

    Let us stick only to facts and let us drop all kinds of trumped-up claims, conjectures and unsubstantiated accusations.
    The people present you the facts:


    Fact I: Khir Toyo is not a convict of any crime.

    Corruption?Charge the bugger in court.

    The new chief minister, Dato Khalid Ibrahim, is accused of having Guthrie shares which are said to be not rightfully his. But its not a fact (yet).

    You've got to charge Khir in court, just as you'll have to charge Khalid in court to prove their alleged crimes.

    And even then, they are NOT GUILTY until they are proven so.

    Fact II: Selangor prospered under Khir.

    It is a developed state (unless Khalid wants to refute that and drop the title).

    Khalid must do better. Can he? Can his new Exco?

    Khalid and gang have no experience in running a state. If the new chief minister thinks its anything like running Guthrie or PNB, then we are headed for BIG trouble.


    Fact III:
    Khir inherited the councils. It is fact that this system is such that councils not just in Selangor but in other states as well are breeding grounds for little Napoleons.

    Citizen Nades concentrated on Selangor because that was what Big Boss Vincent Tan wanted the Sun to do - beat Khir into pulp until the chief minister gives him the Bukit Tagar project.

    Plus, he lives in Selangor so he has vested interest in the state. You think Nades cares about your local council in Batu Pahat?

    Fact IV: Khalid and Exco have the opportunity to end that system and bring back elections.

    What are they waiting for?

    Peeple,

    My point here is so SIMPLE.

    Don't mix facts with your own fantasy. Its dangerous.

    Khir Toyo wants to blog? So what? I am not going to visit his blog because I don't think he is relevant (unless he proves me wrong) and you don't have to if you don't want to.


    What we peeple should do is to get Khalid Ibrahim to blog. He is VERY RELEVANT and his blog will be so.

    Through his blog, let Khalid inform us the rakyat of Selangor a) when he is going to reform the councils and bring back elections b) how he is going to further develop the State c) which independent auditors he is going to hire to look at the books of the previous government and see if there is basis to bring anyone, including his predecessor, to book.

    Through his blog, you can tell Khalid what exactly was Khir's wrong-doing, corrupt practices and etc. Provide proof if possible.

    Selamat blogging, kowe semua.

    Ana Husin Lempoyang, saudagar unta dari Cairo. Berniaga unta di pasar. Ana jumpa itu cheap sale dan beli dua hamba. Saudagar jamal pak tongkol datang rumah dan beli dua hamba pada harga ampat ribu paun. Wow! Lagi untung jual orang dari jual unta. Maka, blog ana adalah blog untuk jual orang.

    Ana mengucapkan ente selamat datang ke dunia blogging.

    BIar ana cakap, walau ada orang kata ente silap itu ini, ana banyak hormat dan respek pada ketegasan dan keberanian ente. Ente hebat walaupun bukan cucu onn jaafar. Mana mahu cari pemimpin sekarang berani dan tegas macam ente? Ini misti pasal makan tempe ... hahaha ana pun Jawa juga la.

    Ana tahu kerajaan baru Selangor mesti diberi peluang 100 hari untuk melihatkan rancangan dan kemampuan. Masaalahnya ini MB baru suka banyak bercakap. Walaupun ana suruh menyanyi dulu banyak-banyak, sebab dia ... shhhh gagap, dia mahu bercakap juga.

    MB bercakap kasi ana keliru. Bila fikiran ana keliru, ana banyak kentot-kentot. Susah mahu sembahyang. Makan tempe boleh baikkan penyakit kentotkah, Dr.?

    Macam mana pun, ana berterima kasih dengan jasa dan sumbangan Dato Seri pada negeri Selangor. Bukan senang untuk melayan rakyat yang mahu langit dan bumi.

    Kita tak tahu apa yang kerajaan baru Selangor boleh buat. Mereka buat banyak janji manis mu. Kita rakyat mintak Dato Seri sebagai ketua pembangkang tolong tengok-tengok untuk kami rakyat. MB baru ini orang korporat ... hoi cerita dulu-dulu dia banyak keparat.

    Kalau Dato Seri ada silap tu, ana sentiasa maafkan. Ana pun mintak maaf juga pasal hari itu ada tulis pasal SMS ana terima. SMS itu usik Dato Seri sedikit.

    Ada SMS lain cakap ente bawak lari kunci pejabat. Itu tidak baiklah. Tengok lah Dato Seri letak jawatan Ketua Perhubongan kerana ambil tanggungjawab kekalahan BN Selangor. Yang kalah adalah calun yang lain, ente masih menang dan wakil rakyat dan bukan wakil pos. Ada banyak orang kalah tapi tidak masih tidak mahu undur lah.

    Baiklah, muga maju jaya, Dato Seri Dr. Khir Toyo! Rajin-rajin berblog untuk kasi penerangan.

    If he starts his blog with the aim of fighting injustice and malpractices, then fine. As a start, he should use it to tell the netizens the reasons for all the misdeeds he had committed as an MB, like using the taxpayers' money to build luxurious mansions for the state excos; like tearing down the Hindu temples; like being pompous and insensitive to the needs of the poor but at the same time pampedering to the greeds of the likes of the late Zakaria etc, etc... But if he thinks he can gain political mileage just by starting a blog, then he is an idiot!

    Specially your Zero squatters policy and actually the new government acknowledged it recently. Remember they are the group of people who turned up in a mass whenever you demolised a squatters colony. Well actually the Rakyat is observing the new government now. Don't worry as long our conscience is clear in doing things.
