I DREAMED A DREAM
I DREAMED A DREAM
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart And they turn your dream to shame He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came And still I dream he'll come to me That we will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

Batang Ai by-election
BOOKIES & PKR SUPPORTERS BADLY BURNT IN BATANG AI.Barisan Nasional’s big win in the Batang Ai by-election burned huge holes in the pockets of bookies in the state.Many of the bookies had accepted bets on the prediction of a narrow margin of victory of between 300 and 500 votes.Some even predicted a narrow win in favour of the opposition.When the margin turned out to be 1,854 votes for the Barisan, the bookies had to pay huge amounts, sources said.A businessman here said he heard that the biggest bet placed was RM50,000 by someone in Kuching, who predicted that the Barisan would win by more than 1,000 votes.Barisan’s Malcolm Mussen Lamoh garnered 3,907 votes against PKR’s Jawah’s 2,053.The bets were taken by bookies operating from urban centres.Their modus operandi is similar to the 4D syndicates who take bets online and via SMS and telephone calls. Payments are usually made via telegraphic transfers.There were also those who placed small sums for the fun of it, including many workers in the plantations in Batang Ai.Very few people had predicted that the Barisan would beat the PKR by such a big margin. In the past two state elections, the Barisan won by less than 900 votes in Batang Ai.

Speaker claims defamation over notice of Perak assembly sitting
– Perak State Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar today claimed he was subjected to defamation over the instruction to issue a notice for the state assembly to sit on May 7.
He said he was shocked over a report in The New Straits Times (NST) newspaper yesterday that he had been informed of the assembly sitting before the notice was issued.
Sivakumar had said earlier that the notice was issued without his knowledge and approval.
“I will not allow this. It is another attempt to undermine my image and credibility.
“If the allegation is true, why are the people who issued the statement not bold enough to identify themselves in the daily? Why just say it (the source of the news) is someone associated with the office of the menteri besar?” he said in a statement here.
Sivakumar reiterated that he was not informed before the notice on the assembly sitting was issued by assembly secretary Abdullah Antong Sabri last Friday.
He said his meeting with Abdullah, as reported in the newspaper, was held after the issuing of the notice by Abdullah without any consultation earlier with him (Sivakumar).
“I was told that a notice had been sent to my office at about 10am. A similar notice had been sent by the assembly secretary to all state assemblymen. I saw the notice at about 1pm.
“I only met Abdullah at about 3pm, after he had returned from Friday prayers,” he said.
The NST reported yesterday that “Sivakumar had full knowledge of the issuance of the notice for the May 7 sitting of the assembly” before the notice was issued to all the 59 state assemblymen.– Bernama

Mukhriz- Fines MPs & assemblyman who resign without valid reason.
The Election Commission (EC) should fine state assemblymen or Member of Parliament (MP) who resign without just cause or a valid reason.
Jerun MP Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir said resignation of assemblymen and MPs had become a trend among the opposition, apparently to continuously hog the limelight.
Such action however, is a loss to the people and community, results in a waste of money as by-elections should be held while raising the animosity among the parties and people, due to such by-elections, he said.
“The Permatang Pauh episode is one good example whereby a by-election was called merely because former Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail decided to give up the post to her husband Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“What the fine should be will depend on the EC. We cannot see a valid reason that can be accepted for such action, including what has happened in the Penanti state assembly seat,” he said.
Mukhriz who is also Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Deputy Minister also welcomed his father, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s suggestion that Barisan Nasional (BN) should contest the Penanti seat.
The Penanti seat fell vacant following the decision by former Penang deputy chief minister Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin who won the seat under PKR, decided to resign, following allegations of corrupt charges brought up against him.
“Although there isn’t a clear indicator as to whether BN can win or not, may be we should contest after all, because we still have supporters in Penanti,” he said.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had earlier said that BN might not contest the by-election for the Penanti State seat as it must first consider whether it would benefit the people or otherwise. – Bernama

Nik Aziz will not run for PAS presidency
Despite support from the grassroots to run for the party presidency PAS spiritual advisor Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat will not run for the post, his senior aide said today.
“He thanked Bukit Bintang for nominating him, but he said ‘no’, partly because of his health, as the president would have to go everywhere,” said Nik Aziz’s political secretary Anual Bakri Haron.
Last weekend Bukit Bintang PAS nominated Nik Aziz for the presidency in what was seen as a rejection of Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang’s proposal to form a unity government with Barisan Nasional, which was subsequently withdrawn.
But the nomination was also perceived by some to be an isolated case and made without understanding on the position of spiritual advisor held by Nik Aziz who chairs the party’s religious scholar’s consultative council in framing the Islamist party's policies.
The Bukit Bintang division chief Radzi Hashim however said that the nomination was the wish of the members who wanted Nik Aziz to hold an executive position in the party.
The division also nominated vice president Mohamad Sabu for the deputy presidency.
Anual told The Malaysian Insider that the Kelantan mentri besar respects the democratic right of the party divisions to nominate anyone but would not endorse any candidate in the deputy president contest.
For the post of deputy president Datuk Husam Musa has become a more popular candidate to challenge incumbent Nasharuddin Mat Isa, who is seen as Hadi’s ally and was heavily involved in the secret meetings with Umno leaders after the general election last year.
Meanwhile, Mohamad said he would wait for another week or two before deciding whether or not to run for the party’s No 2.
“Many divisions have left the nomination to the respective committees to decide, but I feel the situation is very encouraging for me,” he told The Malaysian Insider.
He refused to comment on the imminent proxy battle between Nik Aziz and Hadi in the deputy presidential race but claimed he would complement the incumbent president’s role.
“Tuan Guru Hadi is a very respectable figure among the Islamist movements, while I am a familiar face in NGOs and non-Muslims organisations so I will be able to give the party a Malaysian image in line with the party’s manifesto, PAS for all,” said Mohamad.

Tun Mahathir
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is prepared to lead Barisan Nasional’s (BN) machinery for the Penanti by-election as his supporters continue to pile pressure on Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak to abandon his idea of skipping the expected vote in Penang.
The former prime minister believes he can defeat PKR in the stronghold of his arch-enemy Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Penanti lies within Anwar’s Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency.
And this message has been communicated by Dr Mahathir’s supporters to various BN leaders.
Yesterday, Dr Mahathir urged Najib to call off the idea of skipping the Penanti vote just a day after the new prime minister floated the idea.
Dr Mahathir argued that to concede defeat to the opposition would be a sign of weakness.
But The Malaysian Insider understands that so far, Najib and most BN leaders still think that it is counter-productive to contest the by-election in Penang.
Last week, PKR’s Fairus Khairuddin, who also resigned as Penang’s deputy chief minister amid graft allegations, resigned as Penanti assemblyman and paved the way for a by-election.
With even some in the PR camp concerned with election fatigue – Penanti will be the fifth poll since last year’s general elections – Najib began attacking the opposition for what he claimed was a waste of money in abusing the polls process for political mileage.
But PR leaders have hit back by accusing BN of cowardice.
Dr Mahathir’s remarks suggest that he fears BN and Umno may be stuck with that tag if they skipped the by-elections.
The Malaysian Insider understands that Dr Mahathir believes Anwar should not be given a free victory anywhere in the country.
The act of giving a walkover to Anwar, he feels, will have a demoralising effect on the Umno troops.
Dr Mahathir’s public remarks have, however, placed Najib in a predicament.
Accede to Dr Mahathir and he runs the risk of being labelled as being under the thumb of the former PM.
If he stands his ground, he risks getting the same kind of treatment Tun Abdullah Badawi received from Dr Mahathir, who contributed to his downfall through his unrelenting attacks on the administration.
It is understood, however, that the BN leaders are behind the Prime Minister on this issue.
