The BN govt seems to have forgotten that they no longer hold 2/3 majority in the Dewan Rakyat... needed to pass an Akta.

And they are still in the old mode of thinking.. that they can bulldoze their way through the Bill as "their" people had always been there in the past...

And even if you are a dissenting voice in the Barisan ranks... there's the collective decision you have to follow...

BUT NO MORE... that's why Pak Lah is already laying the "trap" that Pakatan Leaders are "supposed" to support this Bill, the very Bill that we had always wanted... to fight corruption...

As YB Jeff pointed out... PROMOTE??? EDUCATE???

What about ERADICATE or ELIMINATE ???

Enough of "brainwashing" by the mainstream press... if we, the Rakyat read carefully the wordings of the Bill... as what the Pakatan MP's will do... the flaws will emerge and there's still much more to talk about and debate...

rather than "rushing" through the Bill just in time as Pak Lah's farewell present to us in March 2009...

Wonder why the Prime Minister is rushing all the bills now? Can he deliver effective bills with credible principles. He has failed for the last 5 years! Can he do it now in the space of few weeks? By the way, please do not single out UMNO when it comes to corruption. Opposition leaders involve in this practice, for example Anwar Ibrahim. Non-Malay also practice this especially when it comes to business dealing, project application etc. So why only UMNO. Either you mentioned others or do not mentioned at all. That will make you more credible and respectful as well as objective.

Side-track, skirt the issue or beat around the bush.

Or. You can't convince them, confuse them.

He still thinks we're dumb as he?

Introduction of such bills are actually very promising especially in a longer run.

However as for now, I do not believe having MACC is able to create enough fear to those big corruptors. Actual action of prosecuting is needed to stop this menace!

Heard they are going to hire 5000 people. Pakatan Rakyat need to ensure Umno & BN not abuse by putting in their people, otherwise they can be worst than current team.

What mechanisme to prevent this group later use their power to extort others ? Some transparent process before case close is needed.

Dear YB Jeff,

Sometimes I wonder whether what you write in your blog really reflects what you really hear in Parliment.

FYI, I have been to parliment a few times for the past four months as an observer. I am not a government servant, BN member, BN related NGO member or BN related media.

I found out that many opposition members including you were either sleeping or coming in and coming out of Dewan Rakyat for your self imposed smoking break ( I know you are a non-smoker). Some prominent opposition members such as Azmin Ali, DSAI,Karpal Singh played truant.

My key point is, people like you with bombastic articles in blogs are just like ruling party members.

I really wonder whether you really represent the rakyat or just another "one-time hit" politician who is good at commenting other people's work but do not really have the vision to take our beloved Malaysia to the next level.

You can suspect that I am a BN hitman, but I can sincerely say that I am not one of them.

JEFF OOI says: First of all, you REALLY don't have to keep apologising that you are not an Umno a BN member. The truth is -- Neither am I a Tajuddin Pasir Salak, someone who speaks nonsense and robbing the Parliament valuable times on trivialities. I will speak when the issues interest me, or the isses are my pet subjects or something I specialise in. I really am not an expert to speak on Woman Affairs, agriculture or primary commodities, or land and regional development. But you should instead ( 1 ) check the hansard for the record for the various times I cross-sword with the Speaker Pandikar Aminm and his two deputies on occasions I demanded why first-timer MPs were not allowed to speak but to give way to the x-timers and so-called party heavyweights from both sides; ( 2 ) how I refused to speak during the end of the first session 2008 when, after following the Standing Orders to stand and sit for days and was allowed by deputy Speaker Junaidi to speak only for two minutes; ( 3 ) the sets of Oral Questions (10 questions per session 2008) and Written Questions (5 questions per session), and my Adjournment Speech in Session 2/2008, and my debates during Committee Stage on three ministries namely KTAK, KPDNHEP and MOSTI. Talk about truancy, please check how many days heavyweights like Rafidah Aziz, Tengku Razaleigh, JJ, Hishamuddin Hussein, Ong Ka Ting and newbie like Nur Jazlan and Khairy Jamaluddin turned up in the parliament attendance record!? BY THE WAY, You said you are an observer in the parliament only FOR SEVERAL TIMES when the Parliament sat for 75 days in 2008, I'm sorry, you lihat tapi tak nampak. Go check the Hansard please.
