A Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi? Zambry is not even the Legitimate Mentri Besar of Perak

I never likened myself to Mandela, Gandhi’, says Zambry

A Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi?
Perak Menteri Besar Zambry Abd Kadir today denied comparing himself with historical greats, Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi in his recent blog posting. “I never equated myself to Mandela and Gandhi… don’t do that. Please don’t do that,” he told a press conference at the menteri besar’s office in Ipoh after chairing the state executive council meeting.
The blog posting yesterday had been picked up by numerous newspapers resulting in widespread debate and ridicule over the comparisons. Meanwhile, Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat now appear to be in a tug-of-war over who gets the credit for some big projects coming Perak’s way.
Zambry said the announcements today, which included the expansion of air services and establishment of a new medical school, were the result of the toil of his three-month old administration.
Similar announcements were made yesterday by ousted senior exco member Ngeh Khoo Ham, on behalf of ousted menteri besar Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin, who was briefly reinstated by the High Court for 19 hours before Zambry obtained a stay of execution order.
‘Business as usual’
Zambry said over the past three months, he had personally met budget carrier Firefly and AirAsia officials to iron out deals to allow them to ply routes from Ipoh’s Sultan Azlan Shah Airport. He added that it was he who sought permission from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to extend the runways of the airport.
On the university, Zambry said it was the result of three years of hard work by the previous BN administration. “However, there were other people who made the announcements yesterday,” he said, with a tinge of sarcasm.
Zambry also assured that it was “business as usual” for his administration, although the Kuala Lumpur High Court had decided that Nizar was the legitimate menteri besar and the matter is pending appeal.
“As far as economic development is concerned, nothing is affected. There is nothing to worry about,” he said when asked how the government machinery can function smoothly in view of the uncertainty.
This ADUN from Pangkor must surely be thinking very highly of himself. In truth, Zambry is a typical petty UMNO politician who shot himself in some prominence for being a stooge in Najib’s infantile political game in Perak. Of course, he denied calling himself “Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi”, but only after the press had highlighted it. —Din Merican

That’s rather typical of Zambry after years of indoctrination by Umno – say first and deny later. Very condescending. Umno leaders believe everything they utter is the gospel truth and people will swallow it hook line and sinker. To be a Mandela or a Ghandi he must spend time in Kamunting or at least the prison cell at the Sg Senam police station. But the nearest Zambry has ever got to a lock-up is when he drives pass the Ipoh police station in his black MPV on his way to work.

Last night Gandhi the Great came in my dream asking who this person was. Before I could reply he left. I missed an opportunity.

An “interesting” story I wanted to share ( not sure you want me to share it after you read it! wink! wink!) There was a mamak and this mamak is a typical mamak selling Pasembur, not that selling Pasembur is wrong. What’s wrong is that whenever this mamak goes to the gents, he didn’t bother to wash his hand and merrily goes about his business, selling Pasembur that is ( bare hand, no glove mind you). To him, he has done nothing wrong but to his patron, he has committed a great sin! He refuses to listen to his patron disgusted complain and even berated them for being disgusted ( in his mind he thinks this is a personal matter and no one can say otherwise). He finally had the audacity of telling them to go someplace else if they don’t like his personal habit and further more it is his stall, his business and he can do whatever he likes and all that shit ( no pun intended). Well, I think everybody know what happen in the end….His stall went belly up, bungkus cos no one would patronize his stall anymore and those who did previously was still cursing their bad luck and worse some even developed Pasembur phobia… Tok cik, the best moral of the story would be what aaa???? Based on actual story and luckily I’m not one of his patron. However it has put me off anything sold at the mamak stall. Zambry!!!! Cancel the teh tarik, I’m going to the kopi tiam next door!

Liken himself to Mandela and Ghandi ?
Hmmm! he could be comparing the only similar physical aspect .
My Hakka friends will say ‘ kon ngia pi ‘ , iim ngam mei?
Ghandi or Mandela would certainly return the votes to the people but not this pretender and his band of master butchers.

Who is judge Ramli Ali, the judge that gave Zambry an stay within 3 hours?
Well, he is a Lingam appointed judge. A former Chief Registrar of the courts. When Lingam was talking to the disgraced Fairuz on how they were to manipulate the judiciary and appoint their cronies into the bench, Lingam said that Ramli was among the three preferred to be appointed by him. The other two were Datuk Heliliah Mohd Yusuf, a former Solicitor-General and Datuk Ahmad Maarop, a former commissioner of Law Revision. They were appointed as directed by Lingam and agreed upon by Vincent Tan and Mahathir on February 1. 2002.
Dear Malaysians, that’s the man who gave a ridiculous stay to Zambry within 3 hours. Oh, by the way, Mohd Nizar needs to wait for about 6 days for his appeal to be heard. 1BlackMalaysia. Performance for Umno now. Malaysia later.
P.s Refer to the Lingam tape for verification. (Also read Jeffooi’s blog)

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind, Mahatma Gandhi.
Is this what he wants?To blind everybody, all the time? After listening to YB Nizar last night at the 40th anniversary of 13th May, Zambry is no match to YB Nizar.
We do have great leaders outside UMNO if given a chance. Probably within BN too if they are allowed to speak up, and speak the truth.

I tried very hard the past few days to identify any resemblance of this fler with Mandela or Gandhi. I can’t find any with the exception of only 1 clear observation which I don’t think I need to elaborate. Guess what’s my conclusion? It must have been a terrible clone manufactured in some backyards off the forsaken streets of some Timbuktu villages in certain grossly deprived parts of planet earth.
Then I chance to take a look at the donkey in the Winny the Pooh cartoon. Wow! This clone is a perfect xerox copy of this ASS!

No he just want to screw all Perakians to glory because his bosses at Putrajaya and the palace had given him green light to do so. Surrounded by some balls licking police, state secretary and lawyers, Zombie thinks that he can fool the people all the time. After all, they have been doing it for decades.
Yeah, you are right, drkam there are many qualified people to run this country better than current mafia.

Why do you think anybody wants to marry the carpenter’s daughter if not to screw and screw together?

I would prefer C4′s daughter so all of us can bang bang away till kingdom come.

“I would prefer C4’s daughter so all of us can bang bang away till kingdom come.” Tok Cik
‘Banging’ makes sense only when both are regarded as equals and the sexes are paid for equal work. In Malaysia there is no equality between the sexes. In Malaysia one partner does all the banging and all the hard work while the other just watches.
Under PKR we hope to bang together.
Mr Bean - May 14, 2009 at 6:09 pm
In the event of fresh elections in Perak DAP would do well, some say, to field Tunku Aziz Tunku Ibrahim as a candidate and should he win according to this school of thought, it will also help ‘save face’ with the Sultan besides solving the leadership issue within PR. PAS is after all a minority party within the coalition.
But watching Nizar and knowing Tunku Aziz both would be happier where they are.

Typical UMNO mentality, and mentality of most Malaysians in power, the EGO get so big that brain cannot function.

“…EGO get so big that brain cannot function.” james chua.
Forgive me james, but i think it’s because his brain or whatever pimple he uses for spouting this ‘comparison’ – is so big, that he loses his ego and therefore assumes the identity of the aforesaid luminaries. Invertebrate.
Real swell headed goy; what was his doctorate in? I forgot.

‘A tooth for a tooth and everybody in Malaysia ends up toothless. No business for drkam.’———Bean
Mr Bean, to me it is my luxury to have toothless patients because that is my forte. Remember, the more difficult scenario of the mouth, it is always a good business, but as a dentist I also promote good oral hygiene habits and practices.
There are always 3 choices to an endentulous patients. 1. need no treatment(remain toothless n suffer a sagging facial tissues) 2. removable dentures 3. dental implants..

Mr. Bean – intellectual masturbation ? Maybe I am perverted but when your read statements from UNMO and even MCA, their message is so full of bull that I rather be jerking myself off. Personally, the only UMNO leaders that maskes sense and truly represent our country are Musa Hitam, Ku Li and those long gone such as Tun Hussein and our great Tunku. The rests are wolves out for personal gain, loot our treasury and divide us so that we cannot unite for the betterment of our country. That is the state of our identity as Malaysians, it is race versus race, religion versus religion, so that while we fight, they loot. Truly, after all these years it does seem that the extremism we view in PAS and DAP in our younger days are no more than the result of clever Barisan propaganda against those principled few who are righteous and will unite our nation and our people.
