Wide Angle 37 (spiked): The Malaysian Political Oscars!
Published with permissionWIDE ANGLE – Huzir Sulaiman
The Malaysian Political Oscars!
Our political situation is like something out of a movie – so here are the awards. The envelope, please…
The Wide Angle Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, headquartered for no particular reason in Skudai, presents this year's Malaysian Political Oscars.
The most widely watched television event in Malaysia, the Political Oscar telecast reaches over 1 billion viewers, some of whom are dead, some of whom are 130 years old, and most of whom are registered at the same address.
How does it work? Members of the academy (all Malaysian taxi drivers who despite being allegedly the worst in the world at driving taxis are remarkably good at political analysis) vote on these awards, and the results are tabulated by the auditors of some large accounting firm who would rather do this sort of thing than real accounting work, which might explain the state of the economy.
Here are the nominees and winners.
Best Supporting Actor
It is a crowded field this year, with many stellar performances from both veterans and newcomers.
The nominees include private investigator P. Balasubramaniam in Missing; Pusrawi's Dr. Mohd Osman in Rear Window; Zaid Ibrahim in Gone in Sixty Seconds; and Raja Petra Kamaruddin in An Inconvenient Truth.
But the Best Supporting Actor Oscar goes to Penang Umno leader Ahmad Ismail for his controversial performance in Pride and Prejudice.
Despite his recent success, which led to him being cast in Under Siege and Raging Bull, Ahmad has flatly refused roles in the films Anger Management and Atonement.
Best Supporting Actress
For her critically-acclaimed performance in Minority Report, this year's Best Supporting Actress Oscar goes to Sinchew Daily reporter Tan Hoon Cheng.
Interestingly, immediately after that film completed principal photography, Tan was the unwitting star of Catch and Release, a film that may or may not have been directed by Syed Hamid Albar, depending on which version of the studio press kit you read.
Tan spent just 18 hours on location, before quitting, citing creative differences.
Best Cinematography
For his impactful camera work in the V.K. Lingam vehicle The Conversation, the Oscar for Cinematography goes to Gwo Loh Burne.
(Although The Conversation was shot some time ago, due to his refusal to be credited for many months, Gwo Loh Burne could not be given the award earlier. When he finally came forward, this legal thriller was re-released in some markets as The Burne Identity.)
The Conversation beat out Entrapment, starring Chua Soi Lek, which also features an anonymous cinematographer.
Best Foreign-Language Film
Agricultural Study Tour, a Taiwanese sleeper hit, was shot entirely by coincidence, supposedly with no director and no funding.
Nonetheless, a sequel, Exile on My Taiwanese Farm: Peeling my Taugeh might be filmed next year with some of the original cast.
Best Original Screenplay
Jumper, written by Anwar Ibrahim, wins this year's award. Although the film suffers from a cast of unknowns, whose number seems to fluctuate from scene to scene (though always at least 31), the script is undeniably original and exciting. It also has the potential for numerous sequels, which will prove profitable for the actors.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Written by a team of in-house screenwriters from the Attorney-General's Studios, The Accused, starring Anwar Ibrahim, is allegedly adapted from instructions given by political superiors. A remake of the 1998 flop, but with many of the same actors and production team.
Best Actress
Seputeh Member of Parliament Teresa Kok was competing against herself this year with sterling performances in a slew of releases: Election; Woman on Top; Supergirl; and, in cinemas until last Friday, the black comedy Enemy of the State.
She wins the Best Actress Oscar, however, for her most famous role, Miss Congeniality, which has earned her praise from audiences and critics alike.
Best Actor
The big stars of yesteryear dominated the Best Actor category this year.
Nominees include S. Samy Vellu in Gone With The Wind; Dr. Mahathir Mohamed in V for Vendetta; and both Najib Tun Razak and Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in the comedy Trading Places.
The winner, however, of the Malaysian Political Oscar for Best Actor is Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for his flawless, nuanced, masterful performance in Eyes Wide Shut.
Best Picture
The nominees for Best Picture in the Malaysian Political Oscars are all gripping epics.
They include the moving story of the many members of Parti Sosialis Malaysia, The Magnificent Seven; the Khairy Jamaluddin biopic Million Dollar Baby; the Hindraf saga, Out for Justice; and the tale of Gerakan in the Barisan Nasional, The End of the Affair.
The winner for Best Picture, however, is the story of the MCA's struggle against the Internal Security Act, Look Who's Talking Now.
Lifetime Achievement Award
For his astonishing film career spanning many decades, and including both commercial hits and small but critically-acclaimed art-house movies, Anwar Ibrahim wins the Lifetime Achievement Award.
His roles, in chronological order, include: Wild at Heart; The Young Guns; The Great Debaters; Sleeping With The Enemy; The Insider; The Sweet Smell of Success; Reversal of Fortune; Cast Away; The Accused; The Cell; Cry Freedom!; Into the Wild; Back to the Future; Mission: Impossible; The Perfect Storm; and, most recently, Eastern Promises.
Depending on the outcome of contract negotiations, Anwar's next movies may include The King and I; Top Gun; and Great Expectations.
Alternatively, he may take roles in Crash; The Departed; and The Forgotten. That's the thing about show business – you never know what the big stars will do next!
That's all for this year's edition of the Malaysian Political Oscars. See you on the red carpet next year!

Pameran Lukisan “Tellu Tau”: Ekspressi, Kejadian dan Sikap
Bersama lukisan Nurazmal @ Ali
Bersama hasil lukisan Zulkiflee, BERSIH
Buat pertama kalinya Lookiss Gallery menganjurkan pameran lukisan dari tiga artis muda Studio Di Kala Jingga. Selama tempoh dua tahun sejak pembukaan galeri yang hanya menjual lukisan pelbagai tema, inilah pertama kali galeri tersebut membuat keputusan untuk mengadakan satu pameran.
Galeri kepunyaan pengusaha berbangsa cina, Thomas Kerk Boon Leong memaparkan artis-artis Melayu dan menonjolkan tema berani, “Art for Democracy. Hang Art, Not People” bermaksud Seni Untuk Demokrasi. Gantungkan Lukisan,Bukannya Manusia.
Untuk itu, pihak galeri telah menjemput Ahli Parlimen Kelana Jaya, Loh Gwo-Burne untuk perasmiannya pada 19 Julai lalu. Bertanya mengenai pilihan Gwo-Burne dalam merasmikan pameran tersebut, beliau percaya ahli parlimen muda itu mempunyai jiwa seni dan memahami kehendak penggiat seni.
“Gwo-Burne juga mewakili pelbagai kaum”, jelas Thomas.
Sebagai seorang penggemar hasil lukisan, Gwo-Burne telah menghabiskan masa kira-kira tiga jam bersama artis dan orang ramai yang hadir bagi menceritakan lukisan-lukisan yang dipamerkan.
Dalam ucapan beliau, Gwo-Burne memberitahu bahawa bidang seni yang menjadi mainannya dahulu ialah fotografi sehingga membawanya ke kancah politik. Gwo-Burne bertanggungjawab merakam perbualan telefon peguam VK Lingam bersama seorang Hakim dalam mencaturkan hakim-hakim di Negara ini.
Tellu-tau yang bermaksud tiga dalam bahasa Bugis membariskan tiga artis muda yang mempamerkan lukisan-lukisan ke arah persoalan sosial dan politik dalam bahasa seni visual.
Lukisan Zulkiflee bermotifkan haiwan dalam mengekspresikan sikap manusia dewasa ini terutama jenis haiwan yang mempunyai pengaruh di dalam kehidupan manusia seperti haruan dan seladang.
“Cow tu Lembu” cuba memperkatakan kebodohan sesetengah pihak dan “Bersih” dan “Masa Untuk Perubahan” menceritakan keghairahan, drama dan penyertaan berani rakyat dalam landskap politik dalam penjanaan perubahan.
Bagi Sudin, Tellu-tau ialah permulaan dalam siri lukisannya. Berbanding dengan Zulkiflee, Suddin melukis figura manusia. Siri lukisan lelaki dengan perbezaan corak warna bermain alat muzik menunjukkan tahap bunyi yang didendangkan.
Nurazmal pula menggunakan karakter badut dalam lukisannya yang mengimbas zaman kanak-kanaknya.
Ketiga-tiga artis ini merupakan bekas penuntut Institut Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam dalam jurusan seni (1996-2000). Selain seni lukisan visual, ketiga-tiga juga boleh bermain alat muzik dan sering mengadakan persembahan.
Hasil lukisan Suddin Lappo di pameran Tellu-tau
Tellu-tau diadakan bermula 19 Julai hingga 16 Ogos 2008 di 1A-1 Anzen Business Park, Taman Bukt Maluri, Kuala Lumpur.

Ahli Parlimen Kelana Jaya Ditumbuk
Pada 18 Julai 2008 (Jumaat) ialah hari yang ditunggu-tunggu sebab aku tidak perlu ke Parlimen mendengar debat-debat mengarut wakil-wakil rakyat. Semalam juga hari terakhir persidangan untuk sidang pertengahan tahun.
Sekarang aku dalam proses mengumpulkan soalan-soalan dan usul untuk Parlimen Kelana Jaya bagi sidang parlimen akan datang.
Semasa aku membuang masa di Bangsar jam 6 petang, aku ditelefon oleh Ahli Parlimen Kelana Jaya, Gwo-Burne Loh (GB).
GB: Did you hear the news?
Aku: About what? Don't give me news like somebody else submitted another statutory declaration!
GB: No lah.... I got punched by Azam.
Aku: F**K! What happen?
GB: I was trying to get clarification from him regarding the approval of surau at Desa Mentari. There were about 100 people gathered there.
Aku: And he punched you because of MP asking for clarification?
GB: Yes
Aku: Then, what happen?
GB: And then, the people surrounding that area trying to wallop him. Lucky police was there and took him to lock-up.
Aku dah memberitahu ramai orang yang aku telah pun meletak jawatan sebagai setiausaha keADILan Bahagian Kelana Jaya dan tidak mahu mencampuri urusan dalaman Bahagian.
Tetapi kes yang berlaku hari itu sememangnya mencoreng arang kepada Parti.
Pada malam berkenaan, Bendahari Agung (keADILan) yang juga Ahli Parlimen Selayang, William Leong dan Ketua Penerangan (keADILan), Tian Chua yang juga Ahli Parlimen Batu menelefon aku untuk mendapatkan penjelasan.
Hari ini aku dihujani dengan panggilan ahli-ahli Biro Politik, wartawan dan kenalan di seluruh DUN Seri Setia mengenai kejadian memandangkan aku merupakan setiausaha Ahli Parlimen berkenaan. Dan aku memberitahu mereka, aku tidak berada di tempat kejadian dan perkara itu diserahkan kepada pihak polis. DAN AKU DAH LETAK JAWATAN BEBERAPA MINGGU LEPAS KEPUTUSAN PILIHAN RAYA!
Mereka mula tanya, kenapa aku letak jawatan? Ada problem ke?
Masalah aku letak jawatan, masalah lain. Aku sudah pun terangkan kepada Ketua Bahagian, Syed Shahir Mohamud.
Gwo-Burne pula akan membuat kenyataannya sewaktu merasmikan TELLUTAU: An Arts Exhibition malam ini di LOOKISS Gallery, 1A-1 ANZEN Business Park, Taman Bukit Maluri, Kuala Lumpur pada jam 8 malam. Gwo-Burne akan merasmikan pameran tersebut disamping aku akan menjual buku SELAK.
Aku tidak mahu dikecam sebagai menggunakan insiden semalam sebagai tempat aku mengungkit sebab aku meletak jawatan sebagai setiausaha Bahagian.
Siapa Azam?
Azam atau nama penuhnya, Mior Azam Shah bin Mior Yahya, 26 ialah pembantu ADUN Seri Setia, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad dan gajinya dibayar oleh Kerajaan Negeri Selangor.
Tugas utama beliau ialah untuk berada di Pejabat Khidmat Masyarakat ADUN Seri Setia, di C-G-05, Glomac Business Centre, Jalan SS 6/5 B, Kelana Jaya setiap hari bagi mengambil aduan daripada orang ramai. Beliau juga kelihatan memandu ADUN dalam lawatan-lawatan ADUN ke kawasan.
Sebelum ini, Azam pernah bertugas sebagai tukang masak di kantin dan tidak mempunyai pendidikan tinggi.
Ahli Majlis Pimpinan Tertinggi keADILan, Badrulhisham Shaharin (chegubard) juga pernah membuat keluhan mengenai Azam kerana sering menangguh program penerimaan borang kemasukan ahli baru dari USJ sehingga chegubard dan Tian Chua terpaksa hadir sendiri ke USJ kerana tidak mahu memberikan tanggapan buruk orang ramai terhadap Parti.
Berikut ialah laporan dari MSTAR:
 | Mutakhir |  |
LOH DIKASARI... Ahli Parlimen Kelana Jaya, Loh Gwo Burne dari Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), mendakwa beliau dikasari pembantu khas Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) kerusi Seri Setia, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, yang juga merupakan wakil parti itu semalam.
Beliau membuat laporan polis ditumbuk di bahagian mata kanan ketika majlis pecah tanah di Desa Mentari, Petaling Jaya pukul 3 petang semalam.
Loh, individu yang merakamkan perbualan peguam V.K. Lingam berkaitan aturan pelantikan hakim sehingga mencetuskan kontroversi tahun lalu, menemui pihak penganjur majlis tersebut selepas sekumpulan penduduk tempatan membantah tindakan mendirikan bangunan di kawasan itu. Katanya, beliau ke tempat kejadian selepas menerima maklumat ada bantahan. Isu berkenaan yang timbul sejak dua minggu lalu seharusnya diselesaikan kelmarin, kata beliau.
Kata Loh, apabila beberapa kali bertanya siapa yang bertanggungjawab terhadap projek berkenaan, pembantu Nik Nazmi menyerangnya. Kata Loh, beliau diserang apabila menyebut "sebagai pembantu khas seharusnya mengetahui siapa pemaju projek."
Walaupun pembantu khas itu telah meminta maaf, jelas Loh, beliau terpaksa membuat laporan polis.
Ketua Polis Petaling Jaya, Asisten Komisioner Arjunaidi Mohamed mengesahkan kejadian itu sambil berkata pihaknya sedang menyiasat kejadian tersebut.
Kapsyen:
LOH Gwo Burne menunjukkan bahagian mukanya yang menjadi sasaran serangan pembantu khas Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) kerusi Seri Setia di Petaling Jaya semalam.

Invitation to TELLUTAU: An Arts Exhibition
Title of Exhibition : ‘TELLUTAU’
Date : 19TH JULY 2008 – 16TH AUGUST 2008
Venue : LOOKIS
1A-1 ANZEN BUSSINESS PARK,TAMAN BUKIT MALURI,
KUALA LUMPUR
Viewing hours : Mon – Sat 10am – 7pm.
Other times including Sundays and public holidays by Appointment
Admission is Free
ABOUT TELLUTAU
Fast establishing itself as one of Malaysia’s most exciting art groups, Dikala Jingga is staging its third 3 person art show. Drawing strength from their common Bugis heritage, ( Tellutau translates as three people in that language) the artists steer this series of work towards social and political inquiry relying abundantly on the art language of surrealism and pop culture.
Zul’s professional art career began with his paintings of the human form. These days he concentrates on painting animals. Whereas in his earlier series his animals were endowed with auspicious symbols and qualities (still seen in the magnificent red and silver arowanas in “ Good Luck #6 and #7”) now they bear messages of subtle cynicism and greater immediacy. His animals represent the virtues and not so virtuous nature of humans especially those entrusted by society with high office and power. Through the titles of paintings such as “ Cow tu Lembu” the artist reveal his contempt for human’s ignorance while in other paintings like “Bersih” and “ Masa Untuk Perubahan” his art speak of the excitement, drama and anticipation about Malaysia’s newly altered political landscape.
Tellutau is the start of Suddin’s new series of paintings. Not confined to any particular issue, Suddin paints his favourite subject - the human figure, etching his subjects with strong emotions, stirring colours and defining brush strokes. The musicians in his paintings convey the music they play merely by their bodily gestures. The loudness of the music, the viewer has to imagine by looking at just the colours which also allows him to almost feel tone, vibration and harmony as in “ Versa #2”. Hidden beneath his evocative figures and gestures is the artist’s message of education and self improvement born out of Suddin’s background as an art teacher.
Picasso described art as the lie that enables us to realize the truth. True to this spirit, Nurazmal attempts to document his childhood past from an entirely unexpected vantage point. In this, Nurazmal’s interior acts only as a silent and indifferent backdrop. With a whiff of both humour and sinister the artist plays with images that have passed and vision of things to come to transport the viewer to his imaginary realm of space and time. In “ Floating-Floating in My Room” the dark and macabre also lurk, this time behind the shadows and light with his ever present alien or cartoon character thrown in for good measure.

Pameran Lukisan Saiful Razman: Batu-bata Psikologi Politik
Artis muda Saiful Razman mengambil suasana perubahan cuaca dalam politik Negara sebagai inspirasi beliau untuk mempamerkan lukisan dalam menginterpretasi ketegangan tersebut.
Pameran solo yang dinamakan Pelan-pelan & Bilik Gerakan itu ialah pameran solo pertama beliau sungguhpun Saiful pernah menyertai banyak pameran dan symposium. Beliau mula bergerak aktif sejak 2001 dalam aktiviti seni dalam dan luar Negara seperti di Indonesia dan Australia.
Graduan Seni dari Universiti Teknologi MARA ini mengambil motif aturan batu-bata dalam siri lukisan beliau yang menerangkan keadaan politik Negara. Beliau juga menggunakan motif logo dalam menjelaskan kecamukan media, agama dan hipokrisi moral serta tiranni
monotheistic.Dalam menjelaskan tajuk pameran, Saiful memberitahu bahawa Pelan-pelan secara literalnya bermaksud rancangan. Dalam mengucapnya, tajuk ini juga bermaksud “perlahan”.
Saiful juga mempamerkan siri 'logo' di bawah tema 'PELAN CAP' yang memaparkan hipokrisi agama dan moral, mono-budaya dan tirani mono-theistik serta ideologi kanan chauvinist. Ianya juga boleh dicetak di atas t-shirt dan boleh diperolehi dengan harga RM25.
Sebelum berakhir hari pembukaan, 40 peratus daripada hasil luikisan Saiful habis dijual. Antara lukisan-lukisan yang dipamerkan ialah Tersusun (Acrylic on Canvas, 122 x 183 cm), Berhala Berkembar (Acrylic &Bitumen on canvas, 244 x 122 cm), Tertindas (Bitumen on canvas, 123 x 215cm), Terancang (Acrylic &Bitumen on canvas, 183 x 122 cm) dan Jalur Tembelang (Acrylic & Bitumen on canvas, 213.5 x 183 cm).

"....Lima puluh tahunProjek Malaysia telah terbukti semakin gagal. Apa yang sdang kita semua lihat dan baca hari ini adalah meanifestasi daripada kegagalan Projek Malaysia, Projek Malaysia ini tidak bertiang, tidak berpaksi dengan kebenaran. Projek Malaysia tidak berdiri di atas fakta sejarah. Projek Malaysia berdasarkan kong kali kong dan klentong demi klentong, Tutup lubang gali lubang."
Sekitar 200 orang hadir di majlis pelancaran "Pelan-pelan dan Bilik Gerakan" dan mendengar ucapan perasmian, Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai, Nurul Izzah. Gambar beliau bersaiz dua meter juga dilelong untuk didermakan kepada kumpulan Food Not Bombs dalam aktiviti-aktiviti mereka.

Kempen Kelana Jaya Diserang SPR, MBPJ, Polis
Pada hari Rabu lepas (5 Mac) aku dijemput untuk memberi ceramah di No 30, Jalan SS9/2 bagi membantu kempen pilihanraya bagi calon P104 Kelana Jaya, Loh Gwo-Burne dan N32 Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
Sebelum mulanya ceramah, pihak penganjur menayangkan rakaman ceramah sdr Anwar Ibrahim pada layar besar.
Aku penceramah pertama tiba dan kira-kira jam 9.15 malam pihak pemantau SPR datang bersama Majlis Bandaran Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) dan pihak polis.
Pihak MBPJ aku perhatikan terus meletakkan dua trak mereka bersama di hadapan gerai peniaga dan bertanyakan pelbagai soalan yang aku kira diantaranya persoalkan lesen perniagaan.
Kesian aku perhatikan peniaga-peniaga tersebut tetapi mereka begitu kental. Orang ramai mula mengerumuni menjadikan wakil pemantau SPR dan MBPJ sedikit gelabah.
Memandangkan aku sebagai Timbalan Pengarah Kempen dan Setiausaha Bahagian, aku dipanggil untuk berunding.
SPR pada mulanya hanya ingin berbincang dengan wakil calon tetapi aku selepas berbincang dengan wakil calon melalui telefon, Pengarah memberitahu bahawa aku mempunyai kuasa untuk berunding.
Dilarang Pasang Layar
SPR memberitahu bahawa pihak penganjur tidak memohon permit untuk memasang layar untuk ceramah tersebut.
Berdekatan dengan tempat ceramah ialah salah satu bilik gerakan BN (sebut: barang naik) dan wakil BN menyokong dengan mengatakan layar tersebut mendatangkan kebisingan.
Aku persoalkan bahawa apa bezanya ceramah dengan tayangan kerana kedua-duanya mempunyai elemen audio-visual. Sekiranya permit ceramah diberikan, tayangan tersebut juga menayangkan siri ceramah, bukannya dvd seks Chua Soi Lek!
SPR: Kita ikut undang-undang, polis pun ada ni.
Aku: Jangan masukkan polis dalam hal ni. Polis tak tahu. Dia ikut arahan, bukan undang-undang.
SPR: Baik, saya tak tahu pasal itu, tapi arahan jelas tak boleh pasang video. kami ikut peraturan yang diberikan.
Aku: Janganlah cakap pasal peraturan. SPR keluarkan peraturan guna dakwa kekal, tapi akhirnya batalkan.
SPR: Itu belum finalise.
Aku: Apa belum finalise, Rashid dah keluarkan kenyataan. Adil tak?
SPR: Memanglah tak adil, saya hanya buat kerja.
Aku: Lain kali arahan mesti berlandaskan keadilan.
Peniaga Terima Intimidasi
SPR: Lagi satu pasal peniaga ni, tak boleh.
Aku: Awak nak halang diorang cari makan ke?
SPR: Ini peraturan MBPJ.
Aku: Baik, peniaga burger kat sebelah tu (sambil aku nuding ke peniaga burger hadapan bilik gerakan BN) ada lesen tak? Kalau awak nak suruh peniaga ni beredar sebab tak ada lesen, suruh peniaga burger tu sekali. Dia berniaga area ni lagi lama. Adil kan?
SPR: Oklah, tapi tak payahlah orang ramai-ramai kerumun.
Ceramah
Aku penceramah pertama, Dr Syed Husin tiba dan aku ceritakan hal yang berlaku. Syed Husin senyap sahaja.
Aku pun ceritakan bahawa keADILan di sini bukannya terpaksa berhadapan dengan BN tetapi juga dengan polis dan SPR.
Mengenai MBPJ, jika melibatkan keADILan, tindakannya cukup cekap. Bila melibatkan hal longkang, dia bagi protokol dan arah kita isi borang dan beritahu kita birokrasi mereka.
Pegawai SPR tu perhati dari jauh dan selepas aku habis ceamah, mereka semuanya beredar.

Kelana Jaya Oppositions in the News!
| All eyes on PKR's young guns |
| Azreen Madzlan | Feb 26, 08 7:55pm |
| Fresh young faces are dominating PKR’s and DAP’s front line-up for the coming polls and all eyes will be on them as they make their election debuts. Undoubtedly, the ‘star’ among them is Loh Gwo Burne, the man who secretly recorded the infamous Lingam tapes on his hi-tech camera in 2001, tapes which shocked the nation in terms of judicial impropriety. Met by Malaysiakini today, he denied that he had to be persuaded by PKR de facto leader - Anwar Ibrahim - to contest the coming polls.
Following nomination day on Sunday, several PKR candidates have publicly said that they would step down at a later date if they won thereby forcing a by-election for which Anwar could contest. The former deputy premier’s six-year ban on contesting elections following his conviction for abuse of power expires on April 9. Met after a press conference at his Kelana Jaya Community Service Centre, Loh revealed his inspiration to contest the general election came from a journalist of Chinese daily, Sin Chew Jit Poh. Apparently, the journalist had sent an SMS to him asking what he (Loh) was going to do next now that he was famous because of the Lingam tape scandal. Judicial reform platform "I believe that after the Lingam case, I gained a voice. A lot of people thanked me and said I’m doing the right thing." said Loh. Present at the press conference were DAP Subang Jaya state seat candidate, Hannah Yeow and PKR Seri Setia state seat candidate, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad. Loh said though Anwar and DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang had asked him to consider participating in the general election, he only finally made up his mind last week.
Lee has served the Subang Jaya state constituency for three terms since 1995. He won the Subang Jaya state seat uncontested in 2004. Loh, who will be campaigning primarily on judicial reform disagreed that his lack of a background in law or politics would work against him. "I decided to stand up and say ‘no’ to bribery. If you have seen what I have seen and heard what I have heard, you would do what I am doing too. That is why I don’t do law." he said. On the New Economic Policy (NEP) which he said was a ‘decent idea’, Loh said the policy wouldn’t be fair to the Chinese and Indian communities if it only enriched the people in power. Loh said, his father, Loh Mui Fah had wanted to contest the election too but withdrew in order to support his son as a team. The Kelana Jaya constituency has 74,649 registered voters with the racial breakdown of Malays 42.1 % , 37.5 % Chinese and 19.4 % Indians. ‘Give me your vote first’ Meanwhile, DAP’s candidate for the Subang Jaya state seat, Hannah Yeoh Tseow Suan said her biggest challenge was to convince the people that she’s capable of serving the constituency.
"I’m racing against time in these two weeks. Give me your votes first. We can work out the issues later. I will do what you want me to do in the next five years. Two weeks (of campaigning) is not enough," she said. She added that although Subang Jaya had all the basic facilities, security and crime were still a problem for residents and she would try to restore public confidence in these areas by offering practical solutions. Hannah will take on MCA’s Ong Chong Suan for the Subang Jaya state seat. Youngest PKR candidate
Nazmi who is the youngest PKR candidate at 24, said his youth was not an issue and that he would be focussing on crime issues being faced by the residents especially at low-cost flats and their surrounding areas. Nazmi said his campaign slogan was ‘Your voice, your choice’ adding he would launch his campaign video on popular video site YouYube.com tomorrow. |
Loh, who will be contesting in the 
Asked to comment on his opponent, MCA’S Lee Hwa Beng (left), the birthday boy who turned 34 today replied: "Experience is important, but when you’re in a place for too long, it’s like the Chinese saying, you have become part of the problem, not the solution." 
Hannah, 29, (right) said she is racing against the remaining 10-day campaign period to get her views across and hoped voters would trust her with their votes first.
Another young opposition candidate is Anwar’s private secretary, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (left) who will be taking on Umno incumbent Seripah Noli Syed Hussin at the Labels: hanna yeoh, Kelana Jaya, Lee Hwa Beng, Loh Gwo Burne, Nik Nazmi, seri setia, Seripah Noli, Subang Jaya

Penamaan Calon Kelana Jaya
Terus terang aku beritahu di sini bahawa aku langsung tidak enjoy hari ini (24 Feb). Selain daripada melihat proses bangang SPR, aku ingin meng amin kan doa-doa yang kita taburkan buat kejayaan Nik Nazmi.
Seripah Noli(calon BN untuk N32) tidak mematikan stem. Begitu juga Lee Hwa Beng (P104). Dari luar aku gesa semua wakil calon buat bantahan. Rasa macam aku nak serang aje SPR (sebut: bangang). Mereka buat bantahan tetapi ditolak kerana arahan bertulis yang diberikan tersebut pada minit terakhir.
Boleh ka kata macam tu?
Baik tak payah buat arahan?
Bagi Nik Nazmi dan Gwo Burne, aku perkenalkan dengan peguam aku dan mereka bersama wakil calon, pencadang dan penyokong semuanya bergegas ke pejabat pesuruhjaya sumpah hanya untuk emmatuhi peraturan bangang (SPR).
Kita mampu laksanakan dalam keadaan terhad, mengapa tidak Seripah Noli dan Lee Hwa Beng?
Adakah kasut tingginya tidak memungkinkan beliau berlari?
Adakah mereka terlalu tua untuk bergesa ke pejabat pesuruhjaya sumpah?
Aku nak pulang ke rumah tetapi terlalu ramai menunggu untuk temujanji dan pelbagai persiapan untuk dibuat untuk majlis malam itu perlu dibuat.
Nasib baik ada kedai gunting jiran (kedai Mano ada air-cond) sudi membenarkan aku melelapkan mata buat seketika terutama apabila terlalu tertekan dan mengantuk.
Kes hailer
Kami membuat pelbagai persiapan semasa penamaan calon. Sepanduk pembakar semangat, tiang teleskopik panji-panji dan bekalan makanan semuanya. Oh ya…termasuk hailer (alat pembesar suara).
Setibanya di tempat perhimpunan, kami secara tiba-tiba tidak dibenarkan menggunakan hailer hanya kerana BN tidak membawa hailer.
Boleh ka gitu? Kalau tak bangang, apa namanya itu?
BN hanya ingat bawa kereta kebal kotak dengan lorinya yang jelas simbol kepada pembunuhan. Oh ya, Altantuya juga mangsa keganasan seorang ahli politik.
kerana terlalu boring, aku tegur polis yang macam blur di tepi-tepi jalan. Aku beritahu, "perarakan ni tak ada permit Tuan".
Polis: Apa? (sambil memandang ke arah aku?
Aku: Perarakan ini kita tak mohon permit.
Polis: Tak apa.
Muka polis setebal muka Najib Tun Razak bila rakyat menuduh beliau terlibat dalam kes pembunuhan Altantuya.
Siapa Lee Hwa Beng?
Beliau ini tak lah berapa cerdik dalam pendidikan. Main tikam belakang. Ahli Parlimen sebelum ini di’pancung’nya untuk demi meletakkan namanya di Parlimen Kelana Jaya.
Loh Seng Kok menemui aku bersama Loh Mui Fah (saksi penting VK Lingam) pada satu malam di Sunway di mana Loh Seng Kok minum arak kerana tertekan.
Aku beri pendapat aku (tidak dapat dinyatakan di sini kandungan pertemuan kami) dan beri hak sepenuhnya untuk beliau membuat keputusan untuk melindungi kepentingannya dalam politik kotor Lee Hwa Beng.
Muka Loh Seng Kok di billboard habis terconteng. Tidak patut aku menuduh sesiapa tetapi konflik dalaman MCA terlalu hodoh sehingga perkara conteng muka Loh Seng Kok sudah dapat diagak.
Siapa Seripah Noli?
Wanita berusia warga emas ini merupakan Ketua Penerangan Wanita UMNO Pusat. Lebih dikenali sebagai YB Bubur Lambuk, beliau beriya-iya mengarahkan UMNO Bahagiannya membuat program sedekah bebur lambuk di bulan puasa sehari selepas KeADILan dan PAS Kelana Jaya bersedekah ke surau-surau seluruh Seri Setia dan Subang Jaya.
Seripah Noli dan UMNO juga beriya-iya menganjurkan futsal di blok sebelah Pusat Khidmat Kelana Jaya semasa kehadiran sdr Anwar Ibrahim ke sini 4 Februari lalu. Hari itu ialah Isnin dan tidak pernah ada penganjuran futsal pada hari Isnin. Selalunya, Sabtu atau pun Ahad.
Pogram kami dihalang keras oleh pihak polis.

Kelana Jaya di Al-Jazeera
(Dari kiri; Loh Mah Fui, Sharmila, Sanjay, penerbit Al-Jazeera)
Kerja-kerja kempen di Kelana Jaya dalam menjejaki pengundi hantu mendapat simpati dan perhatian media antarabangsa.
Sebuah rangkaian televisyen yang terkemuka di dunia, Al-Jazeera telah menghubungi saya dan ingin maklumat lanjut mengenai penyelewengan SPR dalam pilihanraya akan datang ini.
Sharmila ketika ditemuramah Al-Jazeera
Dengan memfokuskan kepada kes di Kelana Jaya, aku membawa seorang mangsa pengundi hantu, Sharmila Turaisingam ke bilik operasi utama kami di tengah-tengah Desa Mentari sebagai sebahagian daripada rakaman beliau melalui rancangan East 101.
Inilah kali kedua aku muncul di rancangan tersebut. Sesungguhnya pengalaman tersebut bukanlah suatu yang menyeronokkan tetapi kebodohan dan niat buruk SPR memaksa aku memberanikan diri untuk memberi kerjasama kepada Al-Jazeera untuk mendapat perhatian dunia mengenai kepincangan SPR dalam pilihanraya kali ini termasuk di Kelana Jaya.
Rakaman di Glenmarie
Aku juga diminta oleh penerbit Al-Jazeera untuk melawat sendiri rumah pengundi hantu. Dengan bantuan ketua Daerah mengundi Glenmarie, aku membawa pasukan East 101 ke Glenmarie court di U1.
Ternyata tiada daripada lapan pengundi yang tertera dalam senarai pemilih SPR terkini tinggal di kediaman tersebut (No 13, Glenmarie Court U1).
Bersama-sama kami ialah Loh Mui Fah; saksi dalam kes VK Lingam dan Loh Gwo Burne; calon Parlimen Kelana Jaya (P104).
Aku akan nyatakan bila watu tayangan rakaman ini melalui rangkaian 513 Atro.
