The 11th Perak MB has been sworn in in Istana Iskandariah KK this afternoon while tear gas was fired at Perakians protesting the denial of having their voice heard.The legality of the 11th Perak MB is being questioned by the Pakatan coalition and many, many, many Perakians. Perakians are disgusted, disappointed and angry at the way the Pakatan Government in Perak has been hijacked and a BN MB

There was so much sweet and sugared talk by him and his son on the supremacy of the constitution, the need for an independent judiciary blah blah blah.

Malaysiakini as well as Bernama carried the news that the Nazri-proclaimed non-independent EC chief knows the date of the 12th election. And he is not telling.But it was not so many days ago that our PM declared that he has yet to know the date of the 12th election. See Bernama's :: Abdullah Yet To Get Inspiration For Election.

According to the Bersih website, the Yellow Bersih March of 10th Nov will be discussed on Al Jazeera Astro Channel 513 tonight (15th Nov) at 1030pm.Those interested do not miss it. See how the "Pantang diCabar" son-in-law and the "Pea-Brained" one (check out this MJ article on Malaysiakini) perform. Also watch out for Malik of Disquiet.The programme is hosted by Teymoor Nabili of 101 East

There appears to be an epidemic of the "elegant silence" disease spreading over the land as far as the PM and his BN MPs are concerned. Most of the key figures mentioned in the saucy Lingam Tapes (with the exception of the non-BN chappies) are similarly afflicted by the disease. Great guys like Tun Musa, Zaid, Shahrir, where have they gone to? Certainly wished that MGG was around to fill us in on
