THAMBI ..... THE HOT LINE DOES NOT COOL THE HOT SEAT.

The overkill on protesters shifts from tear gassing in Kuala Lumpur to numerical intimidation in Penang.
It takes 200 fully armed anti riot personnel and their trucks complete with water cannon to face off less than 10 PKR supporters armed with only the blessing from the poor.
King Leonidas of Sparta would have been pleased to call them "The 10 .... Spartans".

More than 200 policemen and Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) anti-riot personnel surrounded the court building here early this morning when Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Supreme Council member N.Gobalakrishnan was brought to court here to be charged with obstructing a public servant from discharging his duty.
With fewer than 10 PKR supporters in sight, the FRU and police attracted curious onlookers as they sealed off the slip road leading to the court building and screened every car entering the court carpark area. As early as about 8am, about 10 FRU trucks complete with water cannons parked on standby in the area while another 10 police vehicles were parked in front of the court building.

The PM says he has big ears and thinks he has heard the cries of the Indian poor, however his SIL and the SOH (Son of Hussein) play the role of Grima Wormtomgue and say the Indian poor protests too much and are not representative of the Indian minority.
But the terribly confused mandor of UMNO says....."I will set up a hot line but it will take time."
Ah-yo yo, Thambi.... the hot line does not cool the hot seat, what is new ?

Umno Youth chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said although the contents of Hindraf's letter to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown incited racial and religious sentiments, they were also "illogical".
"It did not represent the views of all Indians in Malaysia. In this matter, our enemy is not the Indian community. Hindraf doesn't represent all Indians, so be rational.

Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin …. reiterated that Hindraf members did not represent the majority of Indians in Malaysia as those who participated in the illegal rally numbered a few thousand compared with the millions in the country," he said.
"I am sure that the majority of Indians support the government and Umno." religious sentiments, they were also "illogical".

The country does not need another reverse engineering debacle like our much vaunted national car project. Proton went for reverse engineering and remains to this day in reversal whilst Hyundai Motor Corporation which emerged almost the same time has gone forward to be a global player.
The only reengineering that is badly needed in Negara-ku is for the electorate to kick out idiots from our parliament.
Let's begin with the obnoxious Bad-rude-din of Jerai and move on to Mohd Rudin of Bukit Katil for agreeing to use public funds to buy metal scrap than to use it to empower Malaysia's poor and needy.

TECHNOLOGY and Innovations Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Dr Mohd Ruddin Abdul Ghani was continuously heckled by the Opposition when he could not put a price on a Soyuz capsule boarded by Malaysia’s first Angkasawan.
Fong asked how did buying a Soyuz capsule benefit the country when the money could be used to help the poor.
Dr Mohd Ruddin then retorted: “Have you not heard of reverse engineering? You are not a scientist so you do not know.
“Reverse engineering means you buy a product like the capsule or car and open it up and learn how to make your own. Surely we want our Angkasawan to fly in a local capsule.
