Ahjib Gor's firecracking Gong Xi Fa Cai Posted: 09 Feb 2013 08:16 AM PST Selamat Tahun Baru Cina kepada semua pembaca dan pengomen di blog ini. Moga sukses selalu .. It's just turned midnight but the distant staccato of firecrackers is like the sound of a thousand drums ushering in yet another new year on the ancient Chinese calendar. In the usually still Puchong night air, this is music to the ear. Reminds me of my own Hari Raya. Talk about drums ... if you have not watched this very special CNY ad on video featuring our Prime Minister, you must. Click Gong Xi Fa Cai: Najib h e r e or Beating the drum for CNY, h e r e.  Never been done before. And only in peaceful and prosperous Malaysia.

Pinggir Zaaba 12: We have no choice but to sue Posted: 08 Feb 2013 10:02 PM PST Biut no one's listening: The sign in front of the affected Pinggiran Zaaba homes PZ12 vs MRT Co.  I've been getting a bit of flak for using "elites" to describe the Taman Tun Dr Ismail folks who have decided to sue MRT Co, the government corp tasked to build Klang Valley's multi-billion ringgit mass rapid transit system. In order not to let the word cloud the issue, I shall refer to these plaintiffs from now not as "elites" but as Pinggir Zaaba 12 or PZ12. From doorstep to train: Just two sarees' long As I'd noted in my earlier posting, I know some of these people personally. The other day, I was having a drink in the garden of  one of the Pinggir Zaaba homes. The home belongs to a respected member of our society, an Indian chap who spent 28 years of his life in the Navy and was already representing Malaysia in the Olympics when I was a toddler! He was saddened by the way things have turned out.  "The MRT is a very good project for the people but it has divided my street in a bad way ... turned good neighbors against one another."  There are 25 homes on the affected PZ street: 12 are suing while the other 13 are against suing or undecided about suing MRT Co.  A notable member of the PZ12 would be Akramshah, the blogging son of Sanusi Junid. Akram is the deputy president of Blog House Malaysia, the same organisation where I am the Advisor. In his latest posting Does Suing MRT Co Makes Us Pinggir Za'aba, TTDI Residents Elite, Akramshah explains why the PZ12 had to sue (and why it's not political) ...  "... the plaintiffs are suing MRT Co as they have no other choice. As the agency charged solely on this matter, MRT Co has curtailed all avenues of engagement and even the Media has had to tip-toe around this issue. Some wondered why I used my father's Tan Sri title in the press release - it  is to clearly showcase that the suit is being brought by BN supporters against a BN project. It is not political - the plaintiffs are not politicians. They are aggrieved citizens that have a case. They need the government to listen." Read more h e r e. p.s. Did the mainstream media "tip-toe around this issue"? I hope they do not. They must take it up seriously as it affects not just the people but also the image of the government. There are already people in PZ who are saying that it was Najib Razak the Prime Minister who had told MRT Co not to entertain any demands from the PZ residents. That, of course, is not true. But if the MSM don't report it, the pro-Opposition or/and anti-Najib news portals will have a field day. And why wouldn't they?
