Jonas Brothers - When You Look Me In The Eyes

If the heart is always searching,
Can you ever find a home?
I’ve been looking for that someone,
I’ll never make it on my own.
Dreams can’t take the place of loving you,
There’s gotta be a million reasons why it’s true

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything’s alright,
When you’re right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

How long will I be waiting,
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love you,
In the best way that I can.
I can’t take a day without you here,
You’re the light that makes my darkness disappear.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything’s alright,
When you’re right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

More and more, I start to realize,
I can reach my tomorrow,
I can hold my head high,
And it’s all because you’re by my side.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything’s alright,
When you’re right here by my side.
When I hold you in my arms
I know that it’s forever
I just gotta let you know
I never wanna let you go

Cause when you look me in the eyes.

And tell me that you love me.
Everything’s alright,
When you’re right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.
Oh

I heard this song that day… It reminds me of my younger days..

Stand by me yor!! Never leave me alone.

Oasis - Stand By Me

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I’ve got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I believe in one day
Before my heart starts to burn.

So whats the matter with you?
Sing me something new … Don’t you know
The cold and wind and rain don’t know
They only seem to come and go, away

Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I’ve found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find behind the door

Stand By Me — Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
Stand By Me — Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
Stand By Me — Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be

If you’re leaving will you take me with you
I’m tired of talking on my phone
But there is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home

ps: Going back hometown - Sarikei tonight Hiatus for the weekend. Staying away from the shits that is flying around, hitting the fan. Run Forrest RUN!!!

Najib vs Anwar Flip Flops Match

KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has reiterated that he had neither met nor known Altantuya Shaariibuu.

“The statutory declaration, which I consider a horrible lie, a mere fabrication with malicious intention and slanderous element is aimed at smearing my image,” he told a packed press conference held at about 7pm at his office in Parliament Building here yesterday.

Najib said the statutory declaration by private investigator P. Balasubramaniam was a “red herring” by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to divert public attention from the sodomy allegation against the PKR adviser.

“I am very sure that this is a very desperate attempt to divert attention from the sodomy allegation that Anwar is facing now.

“What is important now is not the matter raised as a diversion, (or as a) red herring. … What people want to know is whether the sodomy case happened or not. I hope the relevant authorities will investigate and make an announcement as soon as possible,” he said.

On the statutory declaration, Najib said as it contradicted the testimonies in court and also the police report, he would leave it to the authorities to investigate fully, but stressed that he also had rights as a citizen to defend himself.

“I can take personal action, but what is more important is that action can be taken because there are provisions of the law like defamation and so forth,” he added.

Najib also denied that he had had a sexual relationship with Altantuya, nor did he conspire to cover up her murder as alleged by Balasubramaniam.

“No, absolutely not, because I have never ever met her,” he said

Asked whether he was willing to be investigated, he said: “Why should I be investigated? Give me a good reason. The police have investigated the entire Altantuya case, so they know everything.

“The parties responsible (for the statutory declaration) should be prepared to accept any consequences if the authorities uncover any legal wrongdoing.”

Najib questioned why the matter had to come up now after Anwar was recently accused of sodomy.

“Now, suddenly everyone is under attack, the Inspector-General of Police, the Attorney-General, even I am attacked.

“Why now? This is the question,” he added.

“If he (Anwar) was so concerned about the case he should have brought it up much, much earlier. Why now?” he added.

Asked whether the latest accusations would affect him during the coming Umno elections, Najib said it would not.

“I’m very relaxed about it. As you can see I’m still smiling. I’m not worried at all because the truth will prevail,” he added.

Najib said he believed in the (justice) system and stressed that he had not done anything wrong.

“There’s nothing to be worried about. Life goes on as usual. As far as I’m concerned, it’s business as usual,” he added.

It is funny when he is in the soup, he cried ‘Wolf! Wolf!’ but when Anwar is in the soup, he cried ‘Police! Police!’.

To borrow the words from the horse’s mouth:

1. “The statutory declaration, which I consider a horrible lie, a mere fabrication with malicious intention and slanderous element is aimed at smearing my image,”

- Anwar may say “The sodomy allegation and the police report by Saiful Bukhari, which I consider a horrible lie, a mere fabrication with malicious intention and slanderous element is aimed at smearing my image”

2. Najib said the statutory declaration by private investigator P. Balasubramaniam was a “red herring” by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to divert public attention from the sodomy allegation against the PKR adviser.

“I am very sure that this is a very desperate attempt to divert attention from the sodomy allegation that Anwar is facing now.

- Hmm.. the sodomy allegation by Anwar’s ’special aide’ Saiful Bukhari was a ‘red herring’ by ’some people’ to divert public attention from the Statutory Declaration (SD) made by Raja Petra Kamarudin against the DPM’s wife. A desperate attempt to divert public attention from the SD.

3. “What is important now is not the matter raised as a diversion, (or as a) red herring. … What people want to know is whether the sodomy case happened or not.

- What is important now is not the matter raised as a diversion, (or as a) red herring… What people want to know it whether the SD by RPK has any truth or not. Hey, why he thinks the SD by RPK is not important? Or SD by Balasubramaniam is not important?

We also want to know whether Najib and his wife was involved in the murder of Altantuya. We also want to know the truth. We want things mentioned in the SD to be investigated, well to clear our beloved DPM’s name and charge the bloody person that made the false SD, send them to jail for making a false declaration and lie to public.

It is more important because Najib currently is our Deputy Prime Minister while Anwar Ibrahim is a nobody now. He is not in the government, he is not a minister, he is not a member of parliament, he is not even paid by the rakyat to serve them.

4. “I can take personal action, but what is more important is that action can be taken because there are provisions of the law like defamation and so forth,“

This is very funny. IF you are damn sure it (the SD) is  a lie, malicious and slanderous fabrication, you should be fast to say you are going to sue without any hesitation. Say it.. “I will fucking sue P Balasubramaniam and Anwar Ibrahim for making false allegation and defaming me. I will bring this to court and sue them till they drop to their pants.” Or make a police report against them. I don’t know if a person make a SD, can you make a police report against that SD. Me no lawyer. What ever, but point is, he should say ‘Yes I will take personal action, not I can take personal action.. “ because it sounds wrong.. I can take.. WTF!

5. “Why should I be investigated? Give me a good reason. The police have investigated the entire Altantuya case, so they know everything.

“The parties responsible (for the statutory declaration) should be prepared to accept any consequences if the authorities uncover any legal wrongdoing.”

Why should you be investigated?? Oh crap. Because you are named in a Statutory Declaration, tolol! SD is a serious shit.

SD has been defined as “A statutory declaration is a legal document defined under the law of certain Commonwealth nations. It is similar to a statement made under oath, however, it is not sworn.

Statutory declarations are commonly used to allow a person to affirm something to be true for the purposes of satisfying some legal requirement or regulation when no other evidence is available. They are thus similar to affidavits (which are made on oath).”

Intentionally making a false statement as a statutory declaration is a crime equivalent to perjury, and punishable by fines and/or a prison sentence of up to 4 years. (Australia)

Sure the parties responsible for the statutory declaration should know better about the consequences they may face should the authorities uncover any legal wrongdoing. They wil go to jail for making a false declaration.

*******************************************************************

There are too many questions with no answer.

1. Lately, we see people making SD like nobody’s business, it sure gives us an image that SD is conveniently abused like a toilet paper, recklessly using it for their sordid political mileage.

2.  A lot of things mentioned in the SD still just ‘hearsay’ and from ‘reliable sources’. There are still a lot to prove. Hey I want to make a SD based on my ‘reliable sources’ too. Just RM4.00 can make one

3. A certain politician is laughing and probably busy eating his popcorn with coke enjoying the mud-slinging show between his biggest rivals. He is having a big feast!

4. Conveniently, the run up of UMNO branch meetings begin in two weeks, the UMNO election is coming soon and Anwar has 2 more months to deliver his promise - 16 September 2008.

5. If you recall correctly, when another witness mentioned Najib’s name in court, the entire prosecution and defense team got their knickers in a knot, and the judge expunged the statement from the court record. The latest SD sure interesting.

6. Najib is not making any sense with his funny explanations on Saiful Bukhari, the sodomy ‘victim’.

First he said he met Saiful Bukhari 3 months ago about scholarship (Wait.. the guy met with DPM or his special assistant, Khairil Anas? Damn I am confused.) Now he said he met Saiful Bukhari few days before polis report and Saiful even TOLD HIM that he was sodomised by Anwar Ibrahim. .. Which one is true?

Najib said he then told Saiful that it was up to him if he wanted to lodge a police report against Anwar.

“I said to him ‘It’s up to you.’ I left it to him to decide whether he wanted to leave it to the police to investigate and carry out the next course of action

What?? Sodomy is a serious crime. He should have said “You should make a police report if this is true”. How funny of all people, this Saiful Bukhari went to see him. Of 26 million Malaysians!! How wonderful. Why not go to Michael Chong? Why go to Najib??

Why this nobody, college dropout and an assistant to opposition leader, Saiful, end up in our DPM’s private residence over a weekend to express his emotional trauma from the alleged sodomy episode he had with Anwar Ibrahim? I didn’t know there was a open house at DPM’s over the weekend?! Oh… open house that only one person was invited.

Usah khuatir sekiranya anda mangsa liwat. Jumpa Datuk N.

7. It is your words against mine drama now. Who is telling the truth??? It is for you to decide.

Latest Update:

PI Balasubramaniam retracts parts of his Statutory Declaration. (updated)

PI retracts declaration

KUALA LUMPUR: Political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda’s private investigator P. Balasubramaniam on Friday retracted his statutory declaration which he made less than 24 hours ago.

“I wish to retract the entire contents of my statuutory declaration dated July 1 2008. I was compelled to affirm the said statutory declaration under duress,” said Balasubramaniam in his new statutory declaration dated Friday.

The new statutory declaration states:

“I wish to expressly state that at no material time did (Abdul) Razak (Abdullah) Baginda inform me that he was introduced to Altantuya Shaaribu by a VIP and at no material time did Razak Baginda inform me that Datuk Seri Najib (Tun Razak) had a sexual relationship with Altantuya Shaaribu and that she was susceptible to anal intercourse.

“At no material time did Razak Baginda inform me that Datuk Seri Najib instructed Razak Baginda to look after Altantuya Shaaribu as he did not want her to harass him since he was the Deputy Prime Minister.”

Not only do we have flip flop leaders… we also have flip flop PIs… WTF!! Charge the bugger for treating SD like a toilet paper. Hell, we don’t even recycle our toilet paper. Under duress my foot!

Nat has this to say:

Threatened? Bribed? Lied?

The truth is, I have no idea.

But let’s be patient, I suspect more intriguing facts will reveal themselves shortly, and will try to update if I can.

In the meantime, here’s a question for you. Who is this M. Arulampalam, Bala’s new lawyer? Who is he connected to? Why get rid of the former lawyer?

Coup d’etat? Possible? Unimaginable?

From NST

Armed forces, police prepare for demos

KUALA LUMPUR: Cooperation between the police and armed forces is necessary to maintain public order and security in the country.

With this in mind, the two security forces launched a joint safety exercise at the Police College in Cheras yesterday.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said cooperation was crucial because political parties, non-governmental organisations and individuals were, of late, organising more illegal assemblies.

“It is crucial, and the right time, for the forces to organise and plan strategies to carry out duties in maintaining public order as outlined in the public order manual,” he said.

The exercise, which began yesterday and ends on Monday, is to get planners to understand what it takes to coordinate efforts between the two forces should the need arise.

Musa said the joint exercise, whose focus is on the Klang Valley, especially Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya, was to show that public order problems could be tackled properly and efficiently by both forces.Asked if this meant that the armed forces would be used to tackle illegal assemblies, he said this would only be so if absolutely necessary and an emergency had to be declared.Armed Forces chief General Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Zainal said the exercise was the first of two phases. In this phase, discussions would be held to work out certain procedures.

The second phase involved actual deployment of forces. Legal officers of both forces would advise on the legal aspects of tackling any crisis.

“Such activities (the exercise) have to be carried out so that a standard operating procedure can be worked out. Without such exercises, there will be no coordination when a real threat arises,” he said.

Joint police-army exercise sparks emergency talk

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — Even during the worst of times in 1998, when pro-Reformasi supporters took to the streets in Kuala Lumpur to protest the jailing of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the army stayed in the barracks. Crowd control and public order in Malaysia was in the hands of the police, like it has been for decades since the race riots in 1969.The men in blue jealously guarded their turf and the government felt that the sight of men in green fatigues with M16s on patrol duty on the streets of Kuala Lumpur would put the country on par with war-torn African states and unstable East European nations, and conjure up the image of a country under emergency.

This could change this week.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said yesterday that the police and armed forces will be holding a joint public order exercise until Monday and the military will be called in to maintain public order if the security situation in Malaysia deteriorates.

“The exercise is also to enhance the cooperation between the police and the army, besides helping improve coordination, logistics and communication between the two forces,” he added.

Army chief Jen Datuk Seri Abdul Aziz Zainal said the exercise would be held in two phases to better enhance implementation during a national security-threatening scenario.

“The first phase will involve discussions and, when the time is right, proceed to deployment,” he said, adding that the idea was mooted about two years ago.

Security agencies are on an alert to deal with possible public order issues on Saturday when a mammoth rally will be held in Petaling Jaya to protest the increase in fuel prices. The rally is being organised by the People’s Anti-Oil Manipulation Movement (Geramm) — a coalition of non-governmental organisations and the youth wing of Pakatan Rakyat.

Initially, they believed that several thousand protestors could turn up on Saturday. But now they believe that the numbers could swell dramatically. The reason: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is using the rally to kick off a nationwide roadshow to proclaim his innocence against the sodomy charge levelled by his aide, Saiful Bukhari Azlan, against him.

Musa assured people that the armed forces will only be used after consultations between officials from the Home Ministry and the Defence Ministry. This is scant consolation for Malaysians who are only used to seeing troops march on the streets of Kuala Lumpur on Aug 31 as part of National Day celebrations.

News of the joint operations between police and the armed forces to maintain public order is being debated in blogosphere with the more conspiratorial arguing that this could set the stage for emergency rule in the country. Government officials are dismissing that notion, saying that police do not have the resources to deal to tackle crime and also maintain law and order across the country.

Why the army?? Anything involving the army is pretty serious shit. As reported by The Malaysian Insider, even during the ‘worst’ times in 1998 - Reformasi period we did not see army on the street for crowd control and public order. Usually, army will step in when there is an emergency. Like what happened in 1969.

According to Article 150 of the Federal Constitution:

This article permits the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to issue a Proclamation of Emergency and to govern by issuing ordinances that are not subject to judicial review if the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is satisfied that a grave emergency exists whereby the security, or the economic life, or public order in the Federation or any part thereof is threatened.

Only Yang Di-Pertuan Agong has the absolute power to issue a Proclamation of Emergency and mobilize the army in case of emergency as he is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. IGP forgot to mention His Majesty role? Only Home Ministry and the Defence Ministry? What? A coup de tat?

Illegal assemblies? We have FRUs.. So far it works (for them) so why the ARMY needs to be brought in? Not enough resources? What a lame excuse. Malaysians are generally peace loving people, even when provoked by tear gasses and water cannons.

Asked if this meant that the armed forces would be used to tackle illegal assemblies, he said this would only be so if absolutely necessary and an emergency had to be declared.

Why the need to mention the very word of ‘an emergency’? Before this, even after BERSIH march, Hindraf and few other illegal assemblies, there was no mention of ‘emergency’. People like IGP do not  simply just say unnecessary things, especially someone at his position.

Another conspiracy theory? I leave you to decide on that.
