Baharu sahaja beberapa minggu lepas Sultan Johor menarik balik pingat-pingat kebesaran negeri Johor daripada Chua Jui Meng, termasuk dua pingat yang membawa gelaran Dato’ dan Dato’ Seri. Sultan Johor berbuat demikian kerana tidak berkenan dengan tingkah laku Chua Jui meng yang tidak menepati tingkah laku yang dikehendakki bagi penerima pingat-pingat tersebut.
Dalam reaksinya pula, Chua Jui Meng dengan melulu telah menuduh UMNO Johor sebagai dalang disebalik penarikan balik darjah kebesaran tersebut. Tiada bukti yang dikemukakan.
Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim pula di dalam reaksi beliau, telah memberitahu akan meminta perkenan untuk menghadap Sultan Johor.
Kini jelas sekali, Sultan Johor tidak berkenan untuk menerima menghadap Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Sultan Johor juga jelas tidak terpengaruh mahu pun dipengaruhi oleh UMNO Johor di dalam keputusan baginda umtuk menarik balik darjah kebesaran daripada Chua Jui Meng.
Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tahu bahawa Sultan Johor tidak mahu berjumpa dengan manusia seperti beliau. Beliau pun tidak ambil peduli hal tersebut, kerana Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim berasal dari negeri yang tidak ada Sultan. Beliau berasal dari negeri yang Ketua Menterinya orang Cina.
Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim juga tahu bahawa Sultan Johor murka dengan Chua Jui Meng, dan sebab itulah baginda menarik balik pingat kebesaran Johor daripada Cina tersebut. Tetapi, sekali lagi, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tidak ambil peduli hal tersebut.
Dengan kurang ajarnya, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah “memberi perkenan” untuk melantik Chua Jui Meng sebagai Ketua PKR Negeri Johor.
Secara terang-terangan, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim cuba menyanggah Sultan Johor. Dengan terang-terangan, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim cuba menunjukkan kepada Sultan Johor bahawa beliau dan PKR tidak perlu memikirkan sensitiviti Sultan yang memerintah dalam membuat perhitungan politik beliau.
Secara terang-terangan, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim memberi isyarat kepada Raja-Raja Melayu bahawa telah tiba masanya rakyat biasa seperti beliau membuat keputusan sendiri, walau pun ianya mempunyai implikasi melibatkan pentadbiran negeri yang mempunyai Sultan.
Negeri Johor telah pun ada wakil rakyat dari DAP yang secara terang-terangan menyanggah Sultan Johor, Al-Marhum Sultan Iskandar dan enggan memakai songkok yang merupakan protokol semasa majlis perasmian Dewan Undangan Negeri.
Sekarang ini, ada pulak Melayu melaun daripada Pulau Pinang yang berani menyanggah Sultan Johor dengan melantik seorang pemimpin Cina yang baharu sahaja dilucutkan pingat kebesaran negeri, sebagai pemimpin parti politik PKR di negeri Johor.
Mungkin lepas ini, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim akan menggunakan propaganda Ketuanan Rakyat bagi mendesak agar undang-undang tubuh negeri Johor diubah, agar membenarkan bukan Melayu dilantik sebagai Menteri Besar. Maka ramailah kapitan-kapitan cinabeng dan loyar-loyar keling yang akan menyambut baik saranan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tersebut. Ulama-ulama pollitk dari PAS pula akan diam membisu, atau, kalau tidak pun, akan memberi ulasan bahawa perubahan tersebut dibenarkan oleh Islam.
Itulah cara sebenar Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim dan konco-konco beliau di PKR. Sesiapa sahaja akan disanggah, termasuklah Raja-Raja Melayu, asalnya matlamat politik beliau untuk menjadi Presiden Malaysia tercapai.

Corrupt journalists behind attacks against Securities Commission?
I have heard of business journalists being bribed (i.e. paid money, given shares, or others) in return for writing articles on companies, especially listed companies. I have also been told by my associates of journalists asking for money in order to have their newspaper reports slanting in favour of the companies, or the promoters, or certain faction within the companies. The price tag: ranging from RM1,000, to sometimes RM5,000 and above.
So, when Rockybru started the ball rolling in attacking SC in his posting last Saturday, 26 June 2010, the first thing that came to my mind was, whether he was also part of them?
Based on the news article in The Star on the matter, it was clear that BK Sidhu was called for an interview with the SC as a witness, in relation to SC’s probe on irregularities concerning Kenmark. It was clear that SC was not targeting BK Sidhu for probable misconduct. The targets were clearly James Hwang (the Taiwanese) who allegedly absconded, and Ishak, the market manipulator.
But the fact that BK Sidhu chose to approach Rockybru to tell her side of the story was puzzling. Why didn’t BK Sidhu wrote her own piece in The Star? Why chose a blog to carry such an exclusive and explosive story?
Did the interview with SC went awry that it actually exposed BK Sidhu to possible misconduct, and thus, she had to resort to somehow spin the whole situation? Was she paid by somebody to write the news article on Kenmark, giving false hope to layman investors to continue to speculate in Kenmark shares? Did she herself gain, monetary-wise, by speculating in Kenmark shares based on the insider information she had gotten from the company’s officials? Did she then use the journalist’s non-legally-recognised code of ethics of not disclosing the source of information, to apparently protect her own self from prosecution under the securities laws for false reporting or for insider trading?
If journalists like BK Sidhu actually supplement their income through bribery, who would be best to start the ball rolling in investigating the claim, without fear of fallout from her fellow journalists, just like the case of this Kenmark investigation? What if Rockybru is being paid to deflect the issue of misconduct by Kenmark officials, to the issue of alleged high-handed mishandling and interrogation by the SC on the business journalists?
May be somebody should start doing a money trail against BK Sidhu and Rockybru on their supplementary source of income. May be somebody should look into the shares transactions undertaken by BK Sidhu and Rockbru, and linking them to their stories/ reports on companies around the time of the relevant share transactions.
To me, Dahlia, A Voice, Big Dog and others were all playing up to the gallery. Rockybru started the ball rolling on the attack against SC. And I wonder why? And why so many articles by Rockybru on the subject matter, within a span of one week? Why the need to mention the names of the investigating officers (when there’s no need to do that), and subject those mere down line officers to ridicule by the commentaries to the blog entries?
I am actually writing this piece because I am fed up of reporters and bloggers writing bad reports about authorities in Malaysia, be it the police, MACC, SC or others. The reporters, bloggers and commentators will then link the bad report s to UMNO (note: UMNO, and not BN as a whole!)
The police, the MACC, the SC have all done a good job in making Malaysia a good place to live in. Misconducts (if any) by down line officers within the organisation should not be generalised against the whole authority, or their chiefs. Calls for change of heads in police force, MACC, SC and others should also not be linked to the misjudgment by the PM for appointing them in the first place.
Calls to boycott the regulatory authority would not do good to Corporate Malaysia. Constant attacks against Malaysian authorities (be it MACC, PDRM, SC and others) would continue to undermine foreign investors’ interests in Corporate Malaysia. Corrupt journalists, who play a part in all these whole scheme of things should be taken to task for undermining the national interests.
May be, its time for bloggers and fellow Malaysians to rally against corrupt practices of these paid and unethical journalists.
