YOURSAY 'We know Anwar can't be punching himself in police lock-up. Likewise, he can't be throwing projectiles at his own ceramah.'

Nong Chik: Fracas likely sparked by outsiders

Democrat 53: Lembah Pantai Umno division chief Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal, you know very well the bringing of outsiders is the modus operandi of Umno all over Malaysia.

Umno even does it from one state to another. So if a Petaling Jaya person is in Lembah Pantai, you call it an outsider. I thought you know your Lembah Pantai boundary well.

Isn't Petaling Jaya the adjoining district and in many areas you cannot distinguish whether it is PJ or KL (Lembah Pantai)?

Dark Knight: What a silly and ridiculous excuse. Outsiders? We are all Malaysians, wherever we may reside. As Malaysians, we have the liberty to move around freely and attend ceramahs, road shows and peaceful assemblies.

Which is more dangerous - attending ceramahs outside one's constituency or registering illegal immigrants as voters? The former is lawful while the latter is treasonous.

Onyourtoes: Which outsiders? Which outsiders would have the motivation and resources to go around disrupting PKR's rally?

It costs money, time and also it incurs risk to go around throwing stones, water bottles and chairs.

Unless these people are highly motivated for some moronic reasons or highly paid, tell me who would go around doing all these?

Anonymous_3da0: First we have the racial divide, now Raja Nong Chik is introducing a geographical divide when the issues affecting BN's chances at the ballot box come to a head.

If we have someone from Petaling Jaya being called an outsider for attending a ceramah in Pantai Dalam, what are the chances that he is a voter in Pantai Dalam after all? That is possible, isn't it?

We have had voters staying in a Gombak address sent to vote in Puchong before, haven't we? And what about foreigners legalised to vote? Isn't that more descriptive of an outsider as far as our local politics are concerned?

Alitstar: This is reverse psychology. Throw the stone, hide the hand and blame it on someone else. Umno-BN, your techniques are well read by people. Cry wolf all you want, you are gone in the next GE.

Anonymous #06500451: It's so easy to differentiate - as long as there's no action by the police, we are sure confirm they were Umno thugs.

We definitely know what would happen if they were not Umno thugs - just look at what the police have done to those Bersih supporters.

Absolom: Come on, Raja Nong Chik. How are they going to get proof when a guy from the other side did it? Do you suppose your supporters have the integrity to hand over the culprit to the police.

We won't be here if that sort of integrity existed where you come from. I don't know why you are rushing to descend to the ranks of imbeciles by saying the stupidest things. Say something that makes sense for a change.

Like your people deliberately set up a function right next door with the intention of disrupting the PKR ceramah. And they got the usual bunch of thugs to do the dirty work.

And from what was reported, people saw even government equipment and vehicles used in this sabotage exercise. They just did not expect it to back fire like this by injuring an old man and a child.

Take the responsibility like a man and move on. At the very least, you are guilty of not being competent enough to rein in your supporters.

Multi Racial: Why would PKR wants to sabotage their own ceramah? Obviously Raja Nong Chik will not admit his wrongdoing, but he cannot lie to Malaysians.

I am sure even among his own party members and leaders, many doubted him as well. For him to go that low and then lie about it, is a new low for Malaysians politics.

Whatsup: See how pathetic our country is? When can one of these BN goons with a ministerial position be able to say something believable for once?

We are not asking for a perfect person but one with the highest integrity and responsibility for the country and the rakyat.

It is so obvious Umno perpetrated the violence at all Pakatan ceramah. And yet, they blatant blame others.

Worst still, all these happened in full view of the PDRM (Royal Malaysian Police).

Ferdtan: Umno leaders never apologise. They are only good at making excuses. It is sad to have such pathetic leaders - found abudance in Umno and MCA.

MIC is smart - they have been uncharacteristically quiet since the departure of the 'loud-mouthed' former president S Samy Vellu.

Raja Nong Chik, who is likely to contest against Nurul Izzah in Lembah Pantai constituency, has to come up with something better if he wants to win against her. It is hard for him as he is even afraid to debate with her as she had challenged him to one.

Gobsmacked!: "If we just stress on what you as a party, whatever party you represent, for the future, for the country, or for the area... it is okay...," said Raja Nong Chik, suggesting that ‘negative politics' from both sides of the political divide should be avoided, such as fault-finding and accusing each other of wrongdoings.

It looks like Umno members have been very well briefed already. There is a concerted effort by Umno members to support the idea that TV air time for the opposition would be limited to talk on the manifesto.

The opposition would not be allowed to talk on radio/TV on corruption, cronyism and gross abuse of power committed by the ruling party. The stage is already set to deny opposition the voice to talk about gross Umno misdeeds.

Black Mamba: We know Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim can't be punching himself in police lock-up. Likewise, he can't be throwing projectiles at his own ceramah.

If it wasn't done by Lembah Pantai Umno division, it must be a pro-Umno group that did it. Maybe from another division? Raja Nong Chik, too, has rivals within Umno.
