BN and the people: 'Pagar makan padi'

vox populi small thumbnail 'We had a clean and a transparent government under Pakatan in Perak. Now the thieves are back to loot the entire state .Well done, Barisan. Kudos to Umno.'

BN playing 'cowardly politics' in Perak

Amaso: PKR, keep up the good work of exposing Umno Gopeng division committee members grabbing 40 plots of land supposedly meant for the poor people. Umno now blames the civil servants for the blunder. We, the rakyat, are not that stupid to believe Umno's explanation.

The more of Umno's misdeeds are exposed, the more votes go to PKR. Please keep exposing Umno's and BN's misdeeds.

Jbss: Not surprising at all. ‘Pagar makan padi'. It is an Umno culture - self enrichment or corruption. This reminds me of a discussion several years ago I had with an Umno division member who was my friend. When asked about his son's studies, he told me that since his son was not good at his studies, it would be better for him to get involved in Umno politics.

Every Umno position has a price - branch chairperson, branch secretary, division chairperson, deputy division chairperson, division secretary, delegates and council members, etc. Now you know how lucrative it is to be involved in Umno politics. All Pakatan Rakyat state reps, be on the lookout.

Ganasan Kailasanathan: We had a clean and a transparent government under Pakatan in Perak. Now the thieves are back to loot the entire state. Well done, Barisan. Kudos to Umno. Start your cronysm, nepotism and corruption. We, the rakyat, know that those are Umno's ‘policies'.

Thomas Foo: All these happenings are the work of one 'man' who disregarded his subjects' welfare. The people just need to get out of their feudalistic mindset and vote Pakatan. BN is beyond redemption.

Mythots: So what else is new? I just can't understand how brazen these politicians can be, robbing from the very people who elected them and whom they swore on oath to protect and serve.

Where is your conscience and fear of God? We're here for about 70 years and eternity in heaven

or hell. I guess you have made your choice. Remember, God will not be mocked, especially when the land is for the poor and needy.

For Ku Li, striking oil has turned into a curse

Sentinel: Ku Li, please consider helping the rakyat by becoming the next prime minister. Just say it and I am sure the rakyat will rise and see that they do everything possible to make it happen. We need help to get out of this mess.

SusahKes: In short Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Umno/BN cadres have all messed up the country. No need to read between the lines. What do we do now?

Continue to allow the Umno system to plunder whatever's left of this country? There are no two ways about it - all must realise that until Umno is sent into the political wilderness, we will continue to give BN a blank cheque to run this country.

Jet engines: 'Watch out for excuses by gov't'

Tony: Excuses? You mean like - ‘They fell off the back of the lorry during transportation to the air base'? Strangely, the most difficult thing for the BN government is to come out with is a creditable lie on all these massive losses suffered by the country to thievery. Every spin they came out with was not believed by anyone and with each spin, their credibility drops in tandem with our transparency index.

For them, the act of stealing our billions is much easier than the cover-up. If Pakatan expects our votes in the next general election, we should place a caveat that we will only vote for them if they promise that they will investigate, prosecute and jail all these robbers and thieves when they come to power because we are not willing to forgive them for what they did.

Lahore San: If we see the number of people arrested under the ISA for ‘threatening national security', the least we would expect from the authorities is to detain those involved in the theft of national defence assets.

But this didn't happen; the authorities sat on it for two years before the story was outed. Now we have lost two engines and what we have is confirmation that ISA in an Umno political tool, just like the police and MACC. Welcome to Bolehland, Ketuanan Melayu-style.

Zainuddin Abdul Razak: Deputy Defence Minister Ahmad Maslan, don't fool the people. Don't say the opposition is manipulating the issue for you are trying to hide something. Who was the defence minister at that time? After two years, only now it is revealed to Malaysians. ‘Jaguh mencuri harta Malaysia'.

Courts are acting as BN's 'hatchet-man'

Busol: As I've said before, please do us all a favour by publishing the photos of all these people who call themselves esteemed judges. Name them, picture them, shame them.

Habib RAK: These judges will one day be judged as well. The eve of change is before us and soon change will happen. These judges will be relegated to the Hall of Shame. Special measures will be taken to right the wrong done by the Umno/BN government and all their lackeys.
