Disappearance of both Altantuya + motion of no confidence
June 24th, 2008 by MM2H
In Malaysia recently 2 things went up in smoke:
- Altantuya Shaariibuu, a Mongolian national was blown up to pieces on Malaysian territory
- Sapp’s motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi didn’t see the light either…
Yesterday SAPP (Sabah Progressive Party) was supposed to move a motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi.
Yet for one unknown reason both Sapp MPs were missing in action from Parliament.
What is not discussed is more interesting than what is discussed
So what else didn’t get discussed yesterday although it is on everybody’s tongue:
- Motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi (which still can be done at any other day)
- Emergency Motion from Ipoh Timor MP Lim Kit Siang for a debate on blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin’s latest allegations over the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder.(read more about this from Lim Kit Siang and Raja Petra Kamarudin, picture below courtesy of Lim Kit Siang’s blog)
What more do men not debate over at home
Above another photo of Altantuya: quite a revealing Mongolian model.
And any man having climbed the corporate ladder knows that in the evenings after the business dinners there is sometimes some extra entertainment that you rather don’t discus at home…
Not making any insinuations, but people do tend to let their imagination run wild when people involved don’t say anything.
Anyway: Badawi promised Malaysians transparency, and it’s a worldwide phenomenon that politicians never deliver their promises. Nothing new on the way to the forum…

Why the rush-rush fuel hike?
June 24th, 2008 by MM2H
Have you ever wondered why the fuel hike was so rush-rush surprise?
And have you ever wondered why SAPP announced their motion of non confidence 1 week in advance of yesterday (the day the motion should have been put forward…), therefore ruling out their force of surprise?
It’s quite illogical that a fuelhike which should be based on critical planning to counter inflation get’s stuffed in people’s throat just like that. Somebody needed to make a quick buck before “it is too late?”.
And why is DPM Najib so reluctant to take over? If that’s the wish from the people, then what is he waiting for?
Have you ever wondered why kind of nothing is clear when it comes to politics…
Well, peanut oil went up from RM 20 to RM 28… Maybe I should stop eating all together in the true spirit of changing my lifestyle…

Dunno - Euhm, Euhm, Euhm : Malaysian vocabulary for politicians
June 23rd, 2008 by MM2H
We all do remember the famous answer of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in 2006 about the merger between ECM Libra and Avenue Capital:
“I dunno, I am not involved”
If the Minister of Finance dunno, who does?
Anyway, that day was the last day I conducted financial training courses to Malaysians. I mean: you cannot stress your financial students how important it is to be on top of the news, when your man on top ‘dunno’.
So how much is Euhm, Euhm, Euhm better than dunno?
Selangor Menteri Besar and Bandar Tun Razak MP Khalid Ibrahim was asked his opinion about the SAPP no-confidence call to Badawi:
euhm, euhm, it euhm,
is,
euhm, euhm,
a euhm euhm good euhm euhm euhm news
euhm euhm to
….. euhm….
me…
I could continue like this for a long time, but summarized: there was no real plan between the euhms, except something about "our 100 days celebration"…
So who do you prefer: dunno or euhm, euhm, euhm festivities?
Or was Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim mind occupied with the Selangor PAS youth
wing’s note about inappropriate Ella and Mas Idayu?
Ella herself is much more eloquent in responding:
“I am a public figure and a Muslim.
I know exactly what to wear and what not to wear,”
How clear and accurate is that! Compare that answer of "just a singer" with answers of "Malaysian’s top politicians":
euhm, euhm, euhm, I dunno…
It’s really a sad state of affairs…
