Pak Lah to be PM till March; party polls may be in December
UPDATED

OCT 23 - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi said today the Umno supreme council will meet next Thursday to consider bringing forward Umno polls to December.

However the Umno president said that even if the party holds its elections in December, he will still hand over power to the new Umno president only in March assuming Barisan Nasional (BN) remains in control of the government.

Abdullah has already announced he will not seek re-election as Umno president, and Datuk Seri Najib Razak is the favourite to take over the party's leadership.

The party's general assembly had been postponed to next March to ensure a smooth transition of power, but some senior Umno leaders have been asking recently for the polls to be held in December instead.

Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi, was speaking in Beijing after opening the Khazanah Nasional Berhad' Beijing Representative (BRO) office.

Abdullah said the timeline of the power transition in March next year remains unchanged.

Bernama reports the' Prime Minister as saying "We already have a transition plan. The transition plan will be in March next year," he said after launching the Beijing representative office of Khazanah Nasional today.

Abdullah was asked by Malaysian newsmen on reports of moves by some Umno members to push for the party elections to be reverted to December this year.

The party general assembly, originally planned for December, was moved to March to pave the way for a smooth transition of leaders.

Elections for the Youth and Wanita wings of the party will also be held at the general assembly.

I smell something evil going on around UMNO.

Clearly,some factions in UMNO want Pak Lah to step even sooner than his previosly proposed "2010-power-transition plan" and the "Forced-March/2009-power-transition plan".And it also marks that the influence of Pak Lah had shifted to Najib's side drasticly,perhaps sooner than he had expected.

Never expected that he would lost his influece so fast

As Pak Lah voiced that he will go on with his 3 reformation plans before he step down.More and more factions and people in UMNO are worried about the reformation plans,especially the "upgrade" of Anti-Corruption Agency to a legal council that would have prosecution rights.They are afraid that this will be the start of their nightmare and mark an end for their sources of money via corruption and abuses of power.

This is the third time Pak Lah was undersiege.The first time,he was forced to come up with the "2010-power-transition plan",the second time he was forced to go on with the "Forced-March/2009-power-transition plan".And now people wants him to get the party election back to December and at the same time wants him to step down in December as well.

How will Pak Lah react this time? Will he push out a Ku Li as a contender to contest against Najib as a sign of protest? We will see.

Ah June...

Last weekend's MCA general assembly and party election was a drama with alot of surprises and unexpected result.Ong Tee Keat won the President of MCA with a rather narrow margin than Og Ka Ting 3 years ago,while Dr Chua Soi Lek made a superb return to the power corridors of MCA by winning in a narrow margin over Ong Ka Chuan.

MCA General Assembly 2008

Tee Keat wins,but not a perfect one.

This time's MCA party election was quite intensely contested,with 76 candidates fighting over for 31 posts including the major posts of President,Deputy President,Vice Presidents and CCs.However,in MCA Youth and MCA Wanita was rather cool and calm,only a few posts were contested,and didn't caught much of my attention.

"MCA Wars: The return of Soi Lek" - Showing Now

From the overall results after the party election,only one post get my attention,not the Deputy President or what,it's the Deputy Secretary-General post in MCA Youth.The Deputy Secretary-General post in MCA Youth was a three corner fight,and Loh Chew June defeated Ewe Tuan Aik and another candidate with a narrow margin of nearly 200 votes.

This is Ah June

Who is Loh Chew June? Well,to be frank,I'm not quite close and know him alot.But he is one of the MCA Youth members or leaders that really leave a good impression for me.Unlike some other MCA Youth leaders who like to act around and think they are smarter.I think Chew June or rather called Ah June by himself,is a humble person who are able to do stuff instead of sleeping for the next 3 years of his term.

I first came to know Ah June 2 years ago when I attended a undergrads camp and forum in Kuala Kubu Bahru.That was when I first met with the then President of MCA Ong Ka Ting and we had a closed-door dialogue with him.I still recalled I asked Ong Ka Ting a few rather so called sensitive and incisive question,regarding the political monopoly of UMNO and unfair policy for the chinese primary schools.I still clearly remember Ong Ka Ting was stunned at first and the other MCA leaders infront were not looking so good on the face.But contrary,the participants who were mostly uni students gave a loud applause to my questions,and I saw Ah June was clapping his hands and seemed to agree to my statement.He is the only MCA leaders that seemed to clap and supported my statement.From that moment on,I remember this guy in my brain - Loh Chew June.

After months,I met with Ah June again in several forums and discussion sessions,I think he wouldn't know who am I as I'm just a "kelefeh" and nobody.But his active participations in forums and activities did impressed me.At the same time,I was known he also runs a youth organization under MCA Youth that was called Sunshine Youth.Soon after that,I knew he was the coordinator in arranging Malaysian volunteers to duty for the Beijing Olympics.

Anyhow,this is not a bodek or PLP blog to show my support on Ah June nor MCA.But from my point of view,chances must be given to the younger ones or talented ones to run the job no matter in the MCA or private sector.If no chances were given,they might not have the platform to show their talent and perform themselves.For instance,last weekend,MCA Youth delegates gave the chance Ah June after so many years working in the grassroot and Youth CC.Perhaps,his good track record and harworking earn him the support and chance given.

So,Ah June,you better work hard then!Grab the chance and show what you got!

I bang into someone's...

Just yesterday noon, I bang into someone's truck at the roadside.Actually,not really bang but collided at the side...

Okay,this is how it happened.I was searching parking in somewhere to go to the bank,and there is a truck,not the big one,but something like the truck that transport ice cube.This truck was parking illegally at the road side and caused the road become even more narrow,although it had been quite narrow before this.

I admit I was careless and made a mistake for taking a good look at the other side of my car.And while I was still busy looking for carpark,suddenly,"Bang",I saw the truck's right side was sticking at my car's left side,and crushed my side mirror.For god's sake,I was suddenly shocked and get my foot on the paddle and vroom away.Well,this caused my car to get a second hit and the back.

Soon after that,my car's back door at the left side were collided till it was opened,I went down trying to shut the door up.But at the same time,the Indian truck driver was there to inspect his truck.He yelled at me,"Truck saya OK,ini lu mia pasal ar!",and off he goes in his white truck,leaving me there still trying to shut my car door.

Okay,I even missed out the truck's plate number!Which nearly caused me being fined when I went to report to the police...

But the first thing that crossed my mind after settle the police report thingy and insurance claiming stuff,it's not to get a rest or take a break,but to buy 4D =)

Still too bad,it's not my day afterall,my numbers (which I bought my car registeration number and the date) didnt strike.Sigh

And below,is the "scars" on my beloved car...


It hurts.


...really hurts...


...terribly hurt...


Very very hurt...

It's just not my day...
