PAS meets Ku Li (Dr M next)
Earlier today, after Umno had finished its Supreme Council Meeting, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah hosted leaders from Pemuda PAS who paid him a visit at his Langgak Golf residence, which media circle touted as the 'White House'.

Pemuda PAS was headed by its national chief, Kubang Kerian MP Salahuddin Ayub (in dark suit, centre), accompanied by his deputy Ustaz Idris Ahmad; vice-president Mazlan Aliman; Secretary Ahmad Sabki Yusof and Treasurer Mohd Zaki Ibrahim.
A reliable source at PAS told Screenshots that their discussions centred on current issues plaguing the country, including PM Abdullah Badawi's leadership, the crooked bridge and the role of government outsider Khairy Jamaluddin over the Abdullah administration.
Meanwhile, PAS vice president Husam Musa told Malaysiakini that PAS leaders would meet Mahathir on Saturday as they have been invited to attend a talk by the former Prime Minister.
'No factions'
On the other hand, Puteri Umno, the party's young women's arm formed during Mahathir's era, has put up visuals garnering partisan support for the party president.

"There is no dominant leader who does not support Abdullah as the prime minister or Umno president, and there are no factions in Umno," Deputy Prime Minister and Umno deputy president Najib Tun Razak said today.
Comments
Actually this kind of road show will not help PAS. Many times, whenever PAS try to show others their "moderates" background, some brainless bigot chauvism religious PAS leader will open their big mounth to say otherwise.
While for 2nd to say,
"there are no factions in XXXX"
It is similar to the banner "Be prudence with so and so". You know something opposite is brewing.

This fiasco is getting more and more ridiculous.
Everyone in UMNO is saying they support Pak Lah. Support for what? Nobody is questioning your support. The public do not care who you support. The public who vote you in are only interested to listen to the 4 questions posed by Dr. M.
Answer the questions and make amends if necessary instead of wasting our money making banners showing you support who and who!
Come on lah...the people who support Dr. M do not need to make banners to show the world. We support Dr. M on issues, not personality!
As long as we cannot separate the issue from the personality, then we are sure that this country is going to the dogs!

A lot of thought was given by ku li before inviting pas into his home and getting photographed to boot. Much thought was also given by tdm before inviting pas to his talk. Both of this individual knows what is the implication of their actions as perception is reality in politics (especially umno’s).
I don’t think there is going to be a pact between ku li, tdm and pas but the main aim would be to weaken pak lah’s already weak influence in umno to trigger a free for all scramble for the top post. This would benefit tdm and/or ku li depending on their ‘horses’.
Pas is more than happy to play a supporting role in this fiasco, anything to get one over umno, even getting in bed with tdm! Everyone knows that tdm loathes pas but he loathes KJ even more! A bit like a one night stand with a stranger to get back at the ex-girlfriend! Who knows, this could also prove to be the backdoor for anwar to indirectly support tdm (can’t do it ‘cause they’re still fighting on who is the ‘gayest’ of them all!)
For me, this is a brazen display of defiance to umno, something unthinkable in tdm’s era. It only takes one more big name in umno to tow the line of ku li and tdm to get the house of badawi to come tumbling down

For puteri UMNO:This just shows how kaki ampu most Malaysians are and how this lifestyle of kissing the *ss of the higher person is so deep in Malaysian/UMNO culture. Wasting money to show support for what? It isnt even election time....
But then, probably its just a move by someone outside Puteri UMNO as well. Everyone knows theres a brilliant mastermind behind Pak Lah. But to what extend, we will soon find out.

Of course they have to say they fully support Pak Lah, eventhough deep in their hearts not, that's the only way to save the party.
Tun's questions they must answer and Pak Lah said the gov will give full explanations to show that they have good governance. However, Rafidah's behaviour revealed otherwise.
Isn't that already shows Pak Lah did not actually get FULL support? They have to say to the press they get full support to the extent even prepare a banner for it! Doesn't that show they are so AFRAID the public does not know about it?
A simple question, does that mean if you get full support from all your buddies means you are not accountable for your wrong doings?

LOL! First time I ever got a glimpse into KuLi's model of the White House Oval Office.
He even got a mock fireplace. So I guess if he can't get the real thing, let's go after the imitation one. Much like his brand of politics.
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

If I am in the military, and disgusted at the way things are going, now will be a great time to stage a military coup, put the politicians in jail, invade Singapore, southern Thailand and Phillipines and Sumatera simultaneously.
The result will be full employment for citizens of this country and the destruction of IPP's and crony highways/causeway, proton plants due to smart bombs fired by our foes. This will remedy the current political stalemate. Illegal immigrants will flee helter skelter and Malaysians will be too engrossed with the war and survival instead of the silly things we do presently.
After the surrender ceremony, we can start building this country all over from scratch, beginning with the constitution.

All the UMNO buggers can shout about is the 92% election win by AAB 2 years ago to shut up Tun. Using that election win reason that AAB has got the mandate from the rakyat so Tun can shut up and get lost
They have not volunteerered any info on AAB "achievements" if any for the last two years after the election.
Win the election and then do nothing.
Can't even get the IPCMC started and this involve his ministry directly.
Just shows clearly...all the support and rallying behind AAB is just blind loyalty so that the gravy train keep going on.

Honestly people...is there anyone within the group itself brave enough to go against the stream without causing himself/herself into trouble (i.e get sacked, get framed for being gay/lesbian, get into ISA, etc etc). All this support thingy is just to protect their own behind...

But our PM Datuk Seri Abdullah is a pragmatist. There are truths which are unchanging. But pragmatists do not believe in unchanging truths. All things, to the pragmatist, are changing; even truths.
Being fully aware of the enormous burden the mega projects would drained the country’s resources he did the proper thing to stop them. So the Mahathir’s “truths”or beliefs are changed and this makes him unhappy.
Check out the truths at:

You wrote that KuLi has a mock fireplace in his residence. That made me look at the photo again.
Where is the mock fireplace?
