KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 — Barisan Nasional (BN) does not feel threatened by the various calls and strategies mounted by the opposition as the ruling coalition continues to strive at winning the people’s hearts.
Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim (picture) said: “They can say out whatever big dream they have but ultimately, it’s the people who will decide.
“We in BN will not sit still. We will work hard, and let’s see who will get the smiles of approval and be accepted by the people. On DAP’s “middle path” strategy, he said:
“As far as I know, the DAP has not done anything yet except being like ‘pungguk rindukan bulan’ (the owl pining for the moon) and the moon will not drop unless if Allah wills it.” Rais, who is also Information Communication and Culture Minister, said this to reporters after receiving a courtesy visit from Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam, who is also state Tourism and Heritage Minister, at his office in the Sultan Abdul Samad building, here, today.
The DAP’s “middle path” strategy, also named “Middle Malaysia”, was announced by party secretary-general and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, at the party’s 15th national conference last weekend. — Bernama

At least the DAP stalwarts did not change parties when they did not get what they want, unlike certain shameless "lallang" who party hopped for power and wealth. Anyway, GE13 will tell.

Always talking nonsence! Let us see who will have the last laugh. Let us see who will be favoured by God. We anxiously await the time when BN will get a taste of their own medicine: ISA!!! We will remain calm and patient and shall not be provoked.

The guy is an idiot in extreme self denial. He is like someone who lets the "sky fall down upon him and he treats it like a covering blanket". Yes he hides underneath this blanket like an ostrich's head buried in the ground - seeing no danger while the wolves are on the verge of devouring it. Stupid idiot!!!

You are not drawing smiles from anybody I know Ah Pek... But you drew some laughter from us when you did your drag queen impression when reprimanding the journalist and saying how "I've changed my mode".

Don't talk so big, Rais. If the moon does indeed drop down one day, and is received by the owl, you'll have no other choice that day other then to say that Allah has really willed it.
Then you know. Reporters will not forget, they will pounce on you to ask this question when the time comes.

That's absolutely correct. And the people of Perak have decided in 2008. When was the last time you went to Perak and spoken to the common voters.
Come next GE the people of Perak will give you such a bloody slap across the face you will never recover.

I'm sure Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim is right to say that "unless if Allah wills it".
Certainly it is not Allah's will to have Malaysia governed by people who squandered away billions, who made the country's rakyat to live with high crime rate while the police busy pursuing political dissidents, and to live with the most pricey common cars in the world yet expensive petrol while the country is a net exporter of petrol, who does not allow the people who was created by Allah Himself in the first place to call upon the name of Allah, who practically control all public institutions like Police, judiciary, MACC and Election Commission, who water canoned all public rally while encouraged those seemingly advantageous to them, who cowed all main line media into becoming their mouth piece, who believe in "devide and rule" God's people rather them "unite and love" them, who..........the list goes on.
Sure, if only Allah wills it, and Allah knows better. And I know Allah works in His own timing.....soon.

Indeed, the BN has been working hard...to rob more of the rakyat's hard-earned money.
Inflation is spiralling out of control, foreign direct investment is at its lowest ebb, what has BN done?
Oh ya, BN/UMNO has managed to distract the people's attention from economy to Allah.
(Please don't burn my church for using the term here)

Why sent police spy??
If BN/UMNO did not feel threatened by DAP's ideology, why did they send policeman to spy on DAP's convention, with tape recorder some more?
Curi ideas cakap la, just admit it. haha.

Remember what you said in Semangat 46 and now back in UMNO baru? At least you should keep your mouth shut and follow the spirit of Tengku Razaleigh to fight for a fairer Malaysia for all Malaysians. You are aware, but you chose to keep your silence, the corruption menace in the country is going to hurt the Malays most. And remember, the Malays are getting smarter by the day!

Dr Rais, You are the biggest hypocrite in Malaysia, a man without principals. when you were in Semangat 46, you wrote a book that was very critical of Dr M and UMNO. Today you have turned upside down simply because you are given a big position in the administration and joined UMNO Baru. Please look at your conscience and reflect upon your values and principals and do not speak nonsense. Let not power corrupt your thoughts. At least KU LI is not greedy for position and he speaks with objectivity and the truth, Indeed KU LI is a man of principals. It is shameful that you have so easily forgotten your past. with such leaders like you who cannot think straight and with your myopic view, it is clear Malaysia is on the way to the drains with the economy in recession and huge social problems. Please use your brain to tackle these issues affecting all Malaysian citizens before BN is booted out in the next round. Do your job as you are paid by the taxpayers.

I can tell if UMNO-led BN Government do not change and carry on their policies Malaysia belong to the Rakyat and not one particular race sharing the wealth of this country fairly to all the races they are going down to the drain for good believe me la. Nothing are impossible and if they do not far like what others countries are moving forward like China, Japen, Singapore just to name a few. UMNO-led will be doom. Some of leaders think they are smart guys but not.

Of late, with due respect, I think dato rais is becoming more of a laughing stock with more and more outrageous and silly statements. I think you have lost touch with the ground. I used to have a lot of respect for you when you were with Semangat 46! Please dont be another old, senile and desperate politician that will meet the fate of oblivion!
