More MIC Drama

The MIC candidate who was dropped at the last minute M Soorianrayanan denied an allegation by the opposition that he was boycotting the Barisan Nasional (BN) campaign for the Tebrau parliamentary seat in Johor.
The Tebrau MIC chief also denied the allegation that a majority of his disgruntled supporters had joined PKR.
According to Bernama, Sooriyanarayan said although he was sad at being dropped, he would still throw his weight behing BN.
"Every day I have three ceramah sessions, apart from meeting Indian voters in Taman Pelangi Indah and Kangkar Tebrau," he added.
Soorianarayanan, 60, was dropped as MIC candidate for the Tenggaroh seat at the last minute and replaced by Johor MIC Wanita chief T Murukasvary.
MIC president S Samy Vellu said the decision was made due to requests from Wanita MIC members who wanted a woman candidate.
However, Malaysiakini reported last week that there could be another reason for dropping Soorianarayanan.
It is learnt that he was allegedly investigated by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) and his file has been sent to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for the next course of action.
But this has yet to be confirmed.
'Cheap tactic'
Meanwhile, Sooriyanarayanan also denied an allegation that he was not present during the nomination process yesterday, saying that it was a "cheap tactic" by the opposition to get Indian votes.
He said that he was together with BN candidates Abdul Halim Suleiman (Puteri Wangsa state seat), Maulizan Bujang (Tiram state seat) and Ling Ban San (Tebrau parliamentary seat) during the nomination.
Sooriyanarayan vowed to put his personal feelings aside and work hard to ensure that Indian votes go in favour of the BN candidates.
The percentage of Indian voters in Tebrau is the second highest in Johor at 14 percent and he would make sure that 90 to 95 percent would vote for BN on March 8.
He said that the government has always helped the Indians in Tebrau and provided various assistance including financial help to build Tamil schools and Hindu temples.
He cited an example where the government allocated RM1.5 million to build Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Tamil) Ladang Ulu Tiram and a piece of land to build a Hindu temple.
Soorianarayanan pointed out that the opposition candidates who would challenge BN candidates in the area were "outsiders" who had never shown any interest in efforts do develop the area.

Unopposed: BN wins 9 seats, PAS 1

Barisan Nasional (BN) won seven of the 222 parliamentary and two of the 505 state seats unopposed when nominations closed today.
Meanwhile, the opposition won one through PAS' woman candidate Wan Ubaidah Omar who secured the Kijang state seat in Kelantan when the BN candidate Mustopha Ahmed was disqualified for having been declared a bankrupt.
This is a crucial bonus for PAS as it controlled 23 seats to BN's 22 in Kelantan before the dissolution of the state assembly, thus making every contest counts in the battle for the state.
In the 2004 general election, BN won 17 parliamentary and 11 state seats unopposed while PAS had took the Senggarang state constituency in Johor.
With this development, there are now 215 parliamentary and 502 state seats up for grabs on polling day on March 8.
The parliamentary seats won by BN are Sarawak’s Selangau, Kapit, Kanowit and Tanjung Manis, Sabah's Kalabakan and Pensiangan and Pengerang in Johor.
The victorious candidates are Joseph Entulu Belaun (Selangau), Alexander Nanta Linggi (Kapit), Aaron Ago Dagang (Kanowit), Norah Tun Rahman (Tanjung Manis), Abdul Ghafur Salleh (Kalabakan), Joseph Kurup (Pensiangan) and Youth and Sports Minister Azalina Othman Said (Pengerang).
This is second time lucky for Azalina and Abdul Ghafur, who both won their respective seats unopposed in 2004.
The state seats won unopposed by BN are Bugaya in Sabah (Ramli Marahaban) and Sementa in Selangor (Abdul Rahman Palil).
Three-way battles
Meanwhile, the elections will also be witnessing a series of three-cornered fights. Among the more prominent ones, there will be a three-way battle in Sungai Siput between MIC president S Samy Vellu, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) candidate Dr D Jeyakumar and independent Nor Rizan Oon.
The emergence of Billi Lim Peng Soon turned Kelana Jaya (P104) into a three-cornered battle. Along with the author and motivational speaker are PKR newcomer Loh Gwo-Burne and MCA incumbent Lee Hwa Beng.
Blogger-turned-politician Jeff Ooi will be getting his baptism of fire at Jelutong (P50). Besides Gerakan's Dr Thor Teong Gee, Ooi will face independent Badrul Zaman.
Among the other three-corner fights, the most surprising turns out to be Kuala Terengganu. Besides Umno incumbent Razali Ismail and PAS' Mat Sabu, an 89-year-old independent joins in the race.
Maimun Yusuf, a grandmother of seven, tried to contest four times previously but was rejected due to technicalities. She told the press that she aims to "right the wrongs and bring down the price of essentials".
Besides the common three-way battles, Sabah will also be seeing ten seats being fought by four persons or more. Among them are Kota Kinabalu, Kimanis, Penampang (P174) and Beluran.

Anwar Ibrahim's party to lead opposition in general elections in Malaysia

Former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim's opposition party will contest about half of the 222 parliamentary seats in Malaysia's general elections in a bid to make a strong comeback after its stinging defeat in the last polls when it won only one seat.

The People's Justice Party is looking to challenge the ruling coalition in about 100 parliamentary seats in the March 8 elections, though no final numbers have been announced yet, party general secretary Khalid Ibrahim said Thursday.
He said the party expects to win at least 30 seats with the help of campaigning by Anwar, who was sacked as deputy prime minister in 1998 after a political fallout with then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.
Anwar also was expelled from the United Malays National Organization, the main party in the ruling National Front coalition, and set up the People's Justice Party.
"Anwar attracts a lot of supporters and sympathizers," Khalid told The Associated Press. "Anwar will be bringing a new hope into the politics of Malaysia."
Once considered a future prime minister, Anwar's fortunes plunged when Mahathir accused him of corruption and sodomy. He was convicted of the charges and sentenced to 15 years in prison, but was released in 2004 after the sodomy charges were overturned by a higher court.
Anwar maintains he was a victim of a political conspiracy because he challenged Mahathir.
Although he was cleared of the sodomy charge, the corruption conviction barred him from contesting in elections until April this year. Anwar says Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who succeeded Mahathir in 2003, called elections in March to prevent him from contesting.
The National Front coalition, which won 199 parliamentary seats in a landslide victory in 2004, is expected to easily return to power but with a reduced majority given frustrations over inflation, rising crime and ethnic tensions.
Some observers say Anwar also no longer holds sway over the masses as he used to when tens of thousands took to the streets after his arrest and trial.
Malaysia's main opposition Democratic Action Front, or DAP, is expected to put up candidates for about 50 other seats, which will not overlap with Anwar's party, general-secretary Lim Guan Eng said. DAP now has 12 seats in Parliament.
The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, or PAS, is eyeing about 65 seats, but opposition parties are still holding last-minute negotiations ahead of Sunday's nominations on collaborating to avoid multi-cornered fights, according to its general secretary, Kamarudin Jaffar.

Knight Rider 2008

This two-hour movie event, based on the iconic 1980's hit television series, stars Justin Bruening ("All My Children"), Deanna Russo ("The Young and the Restless"), Sydney Tamiia Poitier ("Veronica Mars," "Grindhouse") and Bruce Davison ("Breach," "Close To Home"). In addition, David Hasselhoff (NBC's "America's Got Talent") -- who starred in the popular lead role as Michael Knight for four seasons during the original series' run -- returns as the same character during a special guest-star appearance.
As the original story resumes, the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body -- thanks to its creator's work and nanotechnology -- is capable of actually shifting shape and color. Plus, its artificial intelligence makes it the ideal good cop partner: logical, precise and possessing infinite knowledge. It is the ultimate car -- and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.
The three cars featured in the series include the KITT Hero -- a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR that is playing the part of the everyday Hero car with 540 horsepower; the KITT Attack -- a super high-speed version of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR Hero car that transforms into Attack mode with the help of air-ride technology and specialized body parts -- and a KITT Remote, which is a driverless Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR version of the Hero vehicle.
Sarah Graiman is a 24-year old Ph.D candidate at Stanford University, following in her genius father Charles' (Davison) footsteps. But when men attempt to abduct her, Sarah receives a mysterious call from KITT warning her that he's a creation of Charles, who also invented the first KITT 25 years ago -- and that her father is in serious danger.
Sarah and KITT track down her best friend from childhood, Mike Tracer (Bruening), a 23-year-old ex-Army Ranger, whom Sarah hasn't seen since he left home at 18. Having served in Iraq, Mike is now jaded and lost and initially resistant. Eventually he agrees to help Sarah and the two set out to discover who's behind the attempt to procure KITT and find Charles. Along the way, Carrie Rivai (Poitier) plays the agile yet tough FBI agent who has a long-standing friendship with Charles and Sarah. Due to those ties, she is brought into the mix to help in the search.
Credits: Dave Bartis ("Heist") and Doug Liman ("Mr. & Mrs. Smith") serve as executive producers. David Andron is supervising producer and writer. Steve Shill ("Dexter" "The Tudors"), also a co-producer, directs the two-hour movie from Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Productions.

Total lunar eclipse

The last total lunar eclipse until 2010 occurs Wednesday night, with cameo appearances by Saturn and the bright star Regulus on either side of the veiled full moon.

Skywatchers viewing through a telescope will have the added treat of seeing Saturn's handsome rings.
Weather permitting, the total eclipse can be seen from North and South America. People in Europe and Africa will be able to see it high in the sky before dawn on Thursday.
As the moonlight dims -- it won't go totally dark -- Saturn and Regulus will pop out and sandwich the moon. Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo.
Jack Horkheimer, host of the PBS show "Star Gazer," called the event "the moon, the lord of the rings and heart of the lion eclipse."
Wednesday's event will be the last total lunar eclipse until December 20, 2010. Last year there were two.

"It looks like it's going to be a hard one to spot," Seto said.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes into Earth's shadow and is blocked from the sun's rays that normally illuminate it. During an eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon line up, leaving a darkened moon visible to observers on the night side of the planet.
The moon doesn't go black because indirect sunlight still reaches it after passing through the Earth's atmosphere. Since the atmosphere filters out blue light, the indirect light that reaches the moon transforms it into a reddish or orange tinge, depending on how much dust and cloud cover are in the atmosphere at the time.
Wednesday's total eclipse phase will last nearly an hour. It will begin around 7 p.m. on the West Coast and 10 p.m. on the East Coast. West Coast skygazers will miss the start of the eclipse because it occurs before the moon rises. Unlike solar eclipses, which require protective eyewear, lunar eclipses are safe to view with the naked eye.
Later this year, in August, there will be a total solar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse

MIC: 13 new faces for state seats, 2 for parliament

MIC will field 13 new faces for the 19 state seats the party controls while changes have been made to two of the nine parliamentary seats.
Party president S Samy Vellu announced today that veteran vice-president KS Nijhar has been dropped from the line-up and will be replaced by S Murugesan for the Subang parliament seat.
Meanwhile, MIC information chief M Saravanan will contest in the Tapah parliamentary seat while incumbent S Veerasingam, who is also a vice-president, will be moved to the Sungkai state seat.
However, former deputy president S Subramaniam, who is widely considered Samy's key rival, is not on the party's candidates list. He was dropped in the 1999 elections but there were rumours of a comeback.
At a press conference at the Works Ministry in Kuala Lumpur, Samy Vellu said the party, which won all nine parliament and 19 state seats during the 2004 general election, would have to work "very hard" to repeat a clean sweep.
"We are anticipating a 100 percent victory, although we know this is not going to be easy," he said to a question on the apparent wavering support from the Indian community.
Samy Vellu said the party had identified three problematic state seats which are Lunas in Kedah, Prai and Bagan Dalam in Penang.
As for the parliamentary seats, Samy Vellu is confident that the party will retain all of them.
Three women candidates
To a question, Samy Vellu expressed confidence that the Indian community realises that MIC was the only party representing them in the government.
"People who instigate them to go against us are people who cannot represent them in the government," he said, in reference to the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) movement.
On why the party is only fielding three women candidates, Samy Vellu replied: "We would like to field more candidates but there are not enough seats".
A new rose among the thorns this time around is S Thangasvari who will be contesting in the Hutan Melintang state seat.
MIC would be fielding only fresh faces in four states - Kedah, Malacca, Perak and Johor - while dropping notable figures such as Perak MIC chief G Rajoo and Johor MIC chief KS Balakrishnan.
The new faces for state seats are S Krishnan (Bukit Selambau), S Ananthan (Lunas), L Krishnan (Perai), S Thangesvari (Hutan Melintang), Dr S Vasan (Pasir Panjang), Veerasingam (Sungkai), M Ramasamy (Behrang), T Mohan (Batu Caves), V Mogan (Jeram Padang), R Perumal (Asahan), M Munusamy (Permas), N Soorianarayanan (Tenggaroh) and R Vidyananthan (Kahang).
The six who would be defending their state seats are PK Subbaiyah (Bagan Dalam), M Davendran (Sabai), T Rajagopalu (Port Dickson), K Parthiban (Bukit Melawati), A Kamala Ganapathy (Seri Andalas) and M Asojan (Gambir)
Homecoming for Veerasingam
On the dropping of two MIC vice-presidents as candidates for parliament seats, Samy Vellu said that candidacy was not based on positions held in the party.
"We have to change seats from time to time," he said, adding that Veerasingam was moved to Sungkai in order to "take care of the state".
Speaking to reporters later, Veerasingam appeared upbeat about the latest development and looked forward to contesting in Sungkai, which he has won twice before in 1990 and 1995.
"Its not going to be a problem since I have a track record there and I know the people in the area," said Veerasingam, who was born and bred in Kampar, which is near Sungkai.
The veteran politician added that he would work together with Perak MIC chief G Rajoo to ensure MIC’s victory in the state.
Veerasingam, a former deputy minister, is likely to face DAP central committee member A Sivanesan who has been actively campaigning for Hindraf and is a known figure amongst the Indian community.

Rose Protest Goes International

Indians across the world demonstrated outside the offices of Malaysian embassies and high commissions on Saturday to condemn the government and police, hours after tear gas and water cannons were fired in Kuala Lumpur at people bringing flowers to persuade Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi to release five Hindraf leaders from detention.
The demonstrations – which took place almost simultaneously in New York, Los Angeles, London, Belgium, Northern Island, Indonesia, New Zealand, New Delhi and Mumbai – were believed to be the first internationally-coordinated action in support of the Indian cause in Malaysia.
Calling it a “rose protest”, Hindraf had said it wanted to give the flowers to the premier, asking him, among others, to release the five Hindraf leaders held under the Internal Security Act. The plan was initially to get a group of children to hand over the roses to Abdullah at Parliament. That, however, fell through when police blockaded roads leading to Parliament, forcing the supporters to group at Jalan Raja Laut instead. The police eventually arrested about 200 people and released all but nine whom they said defied repeated orders to disperse

Fiona Lee (photo), an ethnic Chinese from Malaysia, said in comments to Malaysiakini that she decided to join the protest in New York “because these are issues affecting all Malaysians.”“To me, the marginalization of the Indian community is very real,” said the 25-year-old, who has lived in the United States for seven years now and is pursuing a doctorate in English at the City University of New York.
“I grew up in Cheras and I belonged to a church group that used to visit Indian slums where the children had little access to education, food and even clothing,” Lee said. “To say they are being equally treated is the biggest sham.”
There were no officials from the Malaysian Consulate General’s office in New York to receive ay memorandums from the protesters. However several officials were seen snapping photographs of the protesting crowd.
Malaysians are who we are , when it comes to the well being of our own country men, i dont think its the colour of the skin or where we go to pray anymore and if you go to any street stall or settlement people love each other like brothers and sisters of Malaysia. We have very rear cases of extremist in this part of the owrld and if anyone thinks this is being extreme, they need a reality check!!

MANCHESTER 4 ARSENAL 0 (FA CUP 5TH ROUND)

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was proud of his side after they thrashed Arsenal to book a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
United won 4-0 and Ferguson said: "We showed great tenacity and the passing was terrific.
"It was a really fantastic performance - the players looked great.
"They were so disappointed with themselves after losing to Manchester City on a really important day but they have made amends for that."

However Ferguson was less complimentary about William Gallas, who was lucky to escape punishment for kicking Nani.
"I thought Gallas should have been sent off," said Ferguson. "The referee must have a look at that again.
"He kicked Nani from behind and the referee called both over because they sized each other up. He should've been red-carded."
United failed to get going against City on 10 February, in a game that came at the end of a week marking the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster

But they went at Arsenal from the start and United's assistant coach Carlos Queiroz added: "Everyone was attacking and defending together and we played as a unit all of the time.
"It is easy when you play like that because the best players in the team are free to produce the special moments in the game, which we did here.
"Are we surprised by how Arsenal played? No. Arsenal should be surprised by our performance.
"We showed that when we are on top of our game that we are a strong team."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted his side were outclassed at Old Trafford.
"It was an off-day for us," Wenger said. "We were beaten everywhere and never looked like coming back.

When we had a go in the second half we had Emmanuel Eboue sent off and of course it was game over then.
"It was disappointing but this team has given a lot. We were up for it before the game but United were better."
Eboue saw red after a clumsy tackle on Patrice Evra and his was not the only wild challenge of the second half.
Some of the Arsenal players were angry when United midfielder Nani began showboating after his side had gone 4-0 ahead.
But Wenger defended his side, explaining: "We were incensed and most rightly so.
"It is difficult enough to swallow when you are three or four goals down - you do not want to be teased or humiliated."
The Gunners must rebuild for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against AC Milan on Wednesday.
And Wenger is confident that this drubbing will not have an adverse affect on the Gunners.
The Frenchman said: "We still have big enough targets in front of us.
"Now we will try to recover and prepare properly for our next game - we know we need a top-class performance against Milan to have a chance."

General Election

Angry youths surround and jeer Samy at school event
PETALING JAYA: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu was surrounded by some youths who jeered him during the ground-breaking ceremony for a new Tamil school here.
Samy Vellu was walking back to a canopy after performing the ceremony for the SRJK Tamil Seaport in Kampung Lindungan when the youths surrounded him.
The school is being relocated from Kelana Jaya.
MIC supporters quickly came in to help but Samy Vellu and the youths were already involved in a heated argument by then.
Police were called in and they escorted Samy Vellu from the area.
Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo was also at the ceremony.
Earlier, as Samy Vellu got down from his car, a group of about 30 people held placards stating that the land area for the school had been reduced.
After listening to their grievances, Samy Vellu assured them that the new school building would be bigger.
He said the new building could hold 450 pupils compared to the 150 now.
“We should be happy that an extra RM500,000 has been allocated to build this school at a cost of RM1.5mil,” he said

Some excerpts from Samy’s bold prediction for the coming election..
“Let us show to the country that the Indian community fully supports the Prime Minister and the Barisan Nasional.
“Let us prove in the general election that our destiny rests solely with Umno, MCA and other Barisan component parties,” he told the crowd, comprising mostly youths carrying banners and placards expressing support for Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Barisan Nasional.
“His ears are always open to listen and resolve the problems and grievances of all Malaysians,” he said.
Samy Vellu said Indians have been loyal supporters of the Barisan since the country’s first general election in 1959 and they will continue to rally behind the 14-party coalition.
“Nobody can deny this fact,” he said, adding that the party admitted that Indians did not form a majority in any parliamentary or state constituency.
Samy Talks
He (Samy) is right, the indian community fully supports ‘National Line’. Let us all vote out MIC ;p
