Parliament to be dissolved tomorrow, next week or next year? Just remember 3410


I met some pals over dinner last night and one of them asked: "Bro, when Parliament gonna bubar. I wanna buy number."

Another mate said 10.10, 11.10 or 12.10.

"So buy 1010, 1110 and 1210 lah. Got it."

I told them I don't know. Because the country is gearing up for an over a RM1 billion 'kenduri' (wedding reception, ie. GE15) but the groom doesn't even know who the bride is. The political parties are still struggling to find their 'jodoh', so it could end up as a wedding for all. I guess that's what "unity" is all about, eh.

One thing is for sure - our Yang diPertuan Agong will be swearing in a Prime Minister for the third time (Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on March 1, 2020 and Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Aug 21, 2021). 

As such, Al-Sultan Abdullah would have interacted with four Prime Ministers - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Muhyiddin, Ismail Sabri and PM10 - during his time in Istana Negara. His tenure as Agong ends in some 400-odd days. Hopefully, there won't be a Sheraton Move 2.0.

And the swearing-in will be for Malaysia's 10th Prime Minister. 

Four PMs in five years during Al-Sultan Abdullah's time in Istana Negara. That's an unprecedented, historical feat, one that His Majesty and Malaysians will remember for a really long time.

To make it more memorable, organise the swearing-in ceremony for PM10 at 3pm, or 4pm or just do it at 10pm lah. See, PM10, 10PM - kinda nice, kan?

So to my friend who wants to buy a number, go buy 3410 (can 'pau' for better odds). That's the only confirmed thing at this point in time. 

Note: Gambling, just like intense politicking, is unhealthy.

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak

Ramlan saga - Part 3

UPDATE (May 23, 2012: 12.06pm): Dilema JKR, 'dua' ketua pengarah - this was brought to my attention. Read here for more. ----- I first wrote about the effort to remove National Sports Institute director general Dr Ramlan Aziz in March - as seen here . Then I wrote about the same subject again early May . I was invited to be a guest for this week's Kafe Sukan but had to decline as the recording was done on Sunday - the same day I left the country. Apparently Ramlan's predicament was discussed. Despite receiving numerous SMS-es - for and against what was discussed - I will refrain from commenting as I have yet to view the show. I have also been told there are efforts to get certain people to replace Ramlan. To me that is secondary. I have still not obtained the answers to these questions; 1. According to the NSI Act, only the minister can hire or fire the director general. Has the minister issued such a directive? 2. According to the country's Lab
