Sultan wants Khalid, Anwar wants 1Azizah, PAS wants Azmin but who do the Selangor people want?

The Mole and other reports:

PAS wants Azmin for MB post

Sultan wants Khalid to stay on as MB

Wan Azizah Pakatan's only choice MB

In the final analysis, everybody says he has the rakyat's interest in mind but nobody cares to ask them who they want as their Menteri Besar. So by now Selangorians know where they stand in terms of this government's list of priorities - right down there! If the people's interest had been so paramount, Rafizi Ramli, PKR's poor excuse of a "strategist", would have been more circumspect and less drama-queen about gambling with their future via the disastrous Kajang-whatever to try and remove Khalid. What did he say? 

"We are trying to introduce a new politic in Malaysia ...".  [Lest we forget by Jebat Must Die]

Watch the clipping and sob along:

By now most Selangorians would know that bringing Khalid Ibrahim down and squeezing Wan Azizah or Azmin in has nothing to do with them. 

It's all about three things: 

1. power

2. more power

3. super power.

Flip-flopping on MB issue: PAS ready for members' revolt?

Big Dog, a Johorean keeping a close watch on Selangor because of similar people-last issues back home, thinks PAS members should do an "Arab Spring" on their own party for their flip-flop stance on Khalid and the Selangor debacle. Quite a lot of pro-Pakatan folks are no longer averse to a fresh state elections so that they can teach the politicians a lesson. 

Well, you know the truth about Selangor but may not want to admit it. The truth is, the people deserve the government they chose. There!

So, what, the PM can't go on holiday?

The Mole, that news site that seemingly doesn't care, has run an editorial on the whereabouts of PM Najib Razak. Or, rather, on the state of mind of people who equate his going on leave with not doing his job as Prime Minister! One news portal based abroad even whined about how its queries on the Malaysian PM's holidays abroad were not entertained! Lol! 

The Mole says:

Can't go on leave ... indispensable?

KUALA LUMPUR: The Prime Minister, as we understand, is on holiday. So, yes - happy holiday, Sir.  Then again, he may not be. But he is out of the country, for sure.Some people may know where he is. Some people may not. Some do not know and perhaps do not care.Most are not bothered as long as he is still running the country and not abdicating his duties. ... (read the entire editorial So, what, the PM can't go on holiday?)

By the way, you have probably heard that The Mole has a new editorial head honcho in Datuk Nuraina Samad, 57, the former managing editor of the New Straits Times. She replaces Shamsul Akmar, 51, who was Mole editor since its memorable inception on Sept 16, 2011, from Aug 1, 2014. Shamsul (ex-Star, ex-NST) has gone over to The Malaysian Reserve, the business daily, as its Group Editor and Executive Director. 

Under Nuraina, I am told that The Mole is about to care even less ... for what or whom, we shall see :-) 

I remain as Advisor to the Mole until the end of this month.  

Surendran to be called in over alleged seditious remarks

Outspoken (or, to some people, just loud) Anwar Ibrahim's lawyer N. Surendran should learn to use his head before opening his mouth. His remarks about judges being puppets for the BN government have not gone down well with a lot of people. 

Yesterday fellow lawyer Khairul Azam Aziz submitted a petition signed among others by two ex police chiefs demanding that the Attorney-General's Chamber charge Surendran for sedition.

And I know for a fact that AG Gani Patail does not suffer seditious fools easily.

A source tells me: "Surendran will have to answer for it."

Wallahualam.

The Mole posted a piece on the petition yesterday:

Investigate Surendran for contempt of courtThe MoleWednesday, August 13, 2014

Azam reads out the petition as Tun Hanif and Tan Sri Musa flank him

Two former Inspector Generals of Police have stepped forward to lead public demand for action against moves to and individuals who riducule and undermine the Judiciary. The immediate suggestion is for investigations against lawyer/politician N.Surendran for alleged contempt of court.

Surendran who is PKR vice-president is accused of having ridiculed the court ruling against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during his second Sodomy trial at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya on Aug 8, 2014.

Among others, it is learnt, Surendran was to have publicly insinuated that the courts and judges were puppets of the government. Surendran is one of Anwar's lawyer in his latest sodomy trial for allegedly having engaged in unnatural sexual acts with his 'coffee-boy'. 

In a notice (calling for investigations) handed over to the Attorney General's Chamber, lawyer Khairul Azam Aziz who represents the group also called on the Chief Justice to help protect the institution, one of the pillars of a nation.

The notice streesed on the need for a detailed investigation against Surendran and strict action if he was indeed guilty of the accusation and complaints. 

They demand a strong signal stressing that the Judiciary was over and above politics and was not under anyone or any party's thumb. 

Copies of the notice were also sent to the President of the Court of Appeal, Minister in the PM's department in charge of legal affairs Datuk Nancy Shukri, the Bar Council and Surendran.

Last week, the NST ran a piece to gauge public sentiment re seditious and hate postings on social media. I believe Malaysians are getting tired of those who take advantage of our high level of tolerance for their own vested interests. Generally, I think Malaysians are for freedom of expression but not when someone goes overboard or cross the line of that freedom by provoking ill feelings among peace-loving Malaysians and inciting anger against the national institutions and leaders.
