Zamry compares himself to Mandela, Gandhi
By: Clara Chooi

IPOH: Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, whose nearly three-month tenure as mentri besar was ruled illegitimate by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Monday, has likened himself to Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.

Warning Pakatan Rakyat not to under-estimate him, he said the High Court’s “shocking decision” did not mean he would give up the fight.

“To me, losing the mentri besar post will not reduce my fighting spirit in upholding the truth.

If reinstated Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin and his “friends ... assume that the High Court’s decision will dampen my spirit, then they have read me wrong,” he said in a blog entry early Tuesday morning.

He said a person did not need to hold a post in his struggle to uphold the truth, and likened the recent struggles faced by him and his “comrades from the Barisan Nasional” to those endured by politicians like Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.

“Nelson Mandela sacrificed his freedom for 27 years in order to free South Africans from the grip of ‘apartheid.’

“Gandhi also sacrificed his life for the sake of India’s independence and so his people would be able to live without caste or religious boundaries,” he said.

Dr Zambry said however that it was lucky for him that his struggles had not caused him physical harm or loss of freedom.

“I only had to withstand the negative perceptions that Nizar and his people have created of me and the Barisan’s image.

“I know it will be hard to change such perceptions for their accusations are all over the Internet,” he said.

He also accused Pakatan Rakyat of being “greedy,” expressing disbelief at Pakatan’s “swift way of moving back into power,” especially the way they had reported to work at the state secretariat at 7:15am Tuesday, saying this was part of their “tyranny.”

Dr Zambry also reiterated that he accepted the High Court’s decision with an open heart and vowed that he would not question it.

“I will not be like the Pakatan which practises ‘selective justice’ by only accepting the decisions that favour themselves and rejecting those that do not,” he said.

Dr Zambry also maintained that the Federal Court’s decision that Speaker V. Sivakumar had no right to suspend him and his six executive councillors still held, although the High Court ruled that Nizar was the rightful mentri besar.

Macam mana pulak dia ni merasakan dia sama macam Mahatma Gandhi dan Nelson Mendela? Dia sedar diri ke tidak ni? Dari segi mana dia merasakan dirinya sebaris dengan Mahatma Ghandi dan Nelson Mendela? Apa yang dia dah perjuangkan sehingga layak untuk merasakan dirinya sama seperti mereka?

KL (Tower) Revolving Restaurant

We left home after 6:00pm .. we have to start early because its a long drive actually to reach the place.. about an hour. Parking was already full when we arrived, lucky the guard was so kind enough to let us park along the road, leading to the main entrance.

Sampai saja aku suruh HeroBesar pergi check dulu diReservation Counter, betul ke ada reservation for us... bukan tak yakin pada anak-anak tapi sebab semua diuruskan dengan panggilan talipon nun dari Australia. Ada!! dapatkan coupons, so we proceed ke surau *dah azan maghrib* yang besarnya boleh muat 5 orang sekali berdiri. Aku saja yang ada bersama 2 kanak-kanak lain ... habis solat n everything, aku pun ajak HeroBesar naik keRestaurant - hati berdebar-debar sebenarnya .. "awal lagi" kata HeroBesar. Entah sekali ni hati aku berdebar-debar pulak untuk majlis gini, dulu-dulu aku OK saja ... mungkin sebab dah tua agaknya.

Kami terus saja naik .. tunjuk coupons dan waitress ushered us to our place - prebooked! by our angels. Table No.41 *window view*, yes! a table for two ..ambience was wonderful, with live pianist. Restaurant Seri Angkasa is 282 meter above the ground and revolving, it takes more than an hour to make one round and you can see different scenarios while seated and eating. It was a real experience to see KL under your feet at nite .. dilangit bintang berkelipan .. tengok bawah lampu2 berkilauan - spectacular!!

Sebelum bangun ambil makanan, HeroBesar remind aku .. "see the toilet there, nanti bila nak balik sini tengoklah .. sebab tempat bergerak nanti susah cam kan meja kita!" Aku sengeh saja .. orang tua lah katakan ..nanti hilang bearing pulak tu yang kena remind tu ... Lepas ambil makanan aku pun balik lah kemeja kami No 41 tu .. sambil-sambil makan aku cakap kat HeroBesar, "mana toilet tadi?" Dia pun sengeh juga .. fikir sendiri lah mana pergi toilet tu ...

Hidangan cara buffet of local n international spread, ada vegetarians dishes n local fruits, mouth watering cakes varieties, etc...tengok saja aku dah rasa kenyang - banyak! .. aku ni selera orang tua kampung memang akan makan local food sajalah .. tapi aku tahu memang berbaloi kalau makan gaya buffet ni bila dengan HeroBesar sebab selera dia besar *tengok bodylah pulak* .. so kira dia cover untuk aku sekali . Hidangan cara ala-carte pun ada tapi .. rata-rata orang yang datang untuk buffet saja aku nengok ..

Sedang kami syok-syok makan buah2an *dah penghujung actually* sambil cerita pasal anak-anak, tiba-tiba lagu HAPPY BIRTHDAY dinyanyikan secara live dengan iringan piano *pemain piano cum penyanyi*.. and dalam masa yang sama datang lah waiter dengan cake *siap ada lilin lagi* sambil dia menyanyi juga sebelah aku .. "oops! not me, its him!" aku tunjuk kat HeroBesar .. so budak tu letak cake depan HeroBesar dan sambung menyanyi .. orang-orang meja sebelah pun menyanyi sama dan tepuk tangan untuk HeroBesar. Surprise! surprise! aku tengok HeroBesar tersipu-sipu sambil control emotion .. orang ucapkan Happy Birthday pun dia tak jawab ... manalah tidaknya PakHaji sambut birthday macam tu gayanya .. siap tiup lilin pulak!!

Dia renung cake sampai Australia n Ukraine n Seremban sebelum tiup lilin!!

Aku minta waiter tu potong cake into two, half untuk bawa balik for my Awa n HeroKecik yang tak ikut sama .. and separuh aku minta dia potong-potong distribute pada meja sebelah .. after awhile, aku suruh HeroBesar pergil check kat counter tu mana tau kami kena uruskan bill sendiri .. manalah tahu kan. He came back with pulut kuah durian, my favourite tu, hahahaha grand finale for the nite kata HeroBesar!!

We left after 10:00pm, with an experience and wonderful memories we'll never forget! Thank you very much Akak, Angah, Awa n Haziq!! You guys are simply wonderful !! We love you all ..

Happy Birthday to you Beb! semoga panjang umur dalam keimanan, dan di murahkan rezeki yang halal .. dikurniakan kesihatan yang baik. I love you.

p/s : punyalah bersedianya .. sampai hadiah untuk HeroBesar tertinggal .. so beri hadiah bila dah sampai rumah.

Sultan has no power to remove MB ..

Here is something that have never been broadcast by our local TVs ..

Dr Mahathir Mohamad delivered a blow to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak by stating that an elected head of a state government cannot be removed by a sultan.

Instead, the former prime minister said that the elected head of a state government can only be removed by a vote of no-confidence in the legislative assembly.

My Day ...

Ting tong ting tong bunyi loceng pagar .. dalam hati merungut siapa pulak lah datang tengahari ni dan tekan bertalu-talu pulak loceng tu. Tak mungkin HeroKecik dah balik sekolah seawal jam 12:00 tengahari, tapi kalau pun dia selalunya dia tak tekan loceng .. menjerit beri salam saja.

Aku jengok dari tingkap ... ada van florist. Sah-sah dah sesat nak cari rumahlah tu agaknya, kata hati aku. Kawasan aku ni ramai Kaf Lam Ya Nga .. so selalu lah juga florist sesat barat cari rumah nak hantar bunga bila ada yang mati tu. Aku jerit juga suruh cina tu tunggu kejap sementara aku nak buka pintu ..

Yes, can I help you? aku cuba bantulah setakat mampu .. bab nombor jalan dan nombor rumah ni aku blur selalu.

Cina tu terus pergi kat van dia dan keluarkan a bouquet of roses, "this is for you, mem." Tak tanya nama aku pun. Tapi betullah sebab aku nengok ada kad sebesar ini attached kat bunga tu ..

Susah payah anak-anak aku .. meleleh-leleh airmata aku mengadap bunga sendirian. Menangis sebab seronok bila anak-anak bersusah payah menunjukkan kasih sayang dan ingatan mereka.. walaupun masing-masing jauh terpisah beribu batu antara satu sama yang lain, namun hati mereka satu. Masa mereka kecil-kecil dulu pun tak lekang juga hadiah bila tiba harilahir dan hari ibu ni .. hadiah ikut kemampuan mereka masa tu .. tapi yang aku seronok bila mereka berebut-berebut mencium aku !!

Kebetulan 11 May juga adalah hari lahir HeroBesar .. so kami dijemput anak-anak untuk meraikannya di Revolving Restaurant, KL Tower. Another suprise from them.

Akak, angah, achik n adik haziq!! Ibu n ayah gembira dan terharu atas segala usaha dan ingatan kalian adik beradik untuk membahagiakan kami. Our love is unconditional seperti yang selalu ibu cakap.

Terima kasih daun keladi, tahun depan kalau boleh kami nak pergi haji lagi ...

Imperfections ...

Aku selalu marah pada HeroBesar bila dia melepaskan angin tak mengira waktu dan tempat .. bagi aku kurang sopan sungguh. Mentang-mentang dah tua-tua begini dia langsung tak ambil kisah. Bukan perlahan bunyi tu .. sekuatnya, ada masa aku terkejut!!, dan kalau ditegur tu sengaja pulak disambung-sambungnya bunyi. Dia tak perduli aku sedang bercakap dengan dia ke, aku sedang nengok tv ke ... janji dia lepas saja.

HeroBesar aku ni bekerja jauh .. hari-hari berulang alik, driving sendiri dari Seremban ke Kelang. Walaupun dia tak terikat dengan waktu ... kerja ikut suka dia, still memenatkan apalagi dah berumur ni. Kadang-kadang lewat sampai rumah dekat nak maghrib dah ... so bila malam pantang kepala cecah kat bantal saja terus berlagu-lagu dengkurnya. Bayangkan orang yang disebelah .. punya susah pulak nak lena dengar bunyi-bunyian tu .. selalu aku tolak-tolak badan dia nak bagi senyaplah sekejap .... selang tak sampai seminit bunyi lagi .. adoiiiiii

Tapi semenjak aku tertengokk video clip ni, aku insaf ... aku redha lah menerima kentut dan dengkur HeroBesar sementara ada ni ...

"in the end, its these small things that you remember ... little imperfections that make them perfect for you."
