MPPP versus Jessie Ooi - 1 all

Wakakaka, when a visitor to my blog asked me why I haven’t posted anything on Jessie Ooi, I replied cheekily: “Who’s Jessie Ooi?”

For a start, the visitor asked about Jessie Ooi in a post titled Malays more special than Arabs in Islam?, a question totally out of whack with the thread discussion (what I hoped for). It’s not unlike someone asking “Why haven’t you posted anything on the imam chucking his shoes at the judges” in a post on “Dr Mahathir wrote to Ehud Barak”.

Secondly, there are/have been so many issues that can be posted at any one time so it has to be the blogger who chooses what, who and when to blog. Sometimes I can entertain requests, but most times I can’t or won’t.

Thirdly, some people just don't know when a response is cheeky or sarcastic wakakaka, and would go into syiok sendiri raves and rants, as in [taken unedited from the comments section]: “There headline again at Malaysiakini blog on Jessie Ooi. Why blog and make smart conclusions..when you don't read current issues? You may as well talk about the Sun...Moon and Stars. Your blog is getting more and more talking cock...favoring BN than anything else. Your agree to disagree tactics will not work KT. Be a man...stand clearly which side you are supporting. 13th GE is near...make up your mind” wakakaka!

Sorry, can’t help them.

Anyway, on Jessie Ooi I read an interesting analysis on her behaviour by Douglas Tan at Free Malaysia Today titled Jessie Ooi: Vindictive or a just victim?

I recommend you read it if you’re interested in Jessie Ooi wakakaka.

As for kaytee, I see her as just trying to make a name for herself, perhaps to advance her standing as a potential candidate in the next election, not unlike some UMNO rednecks and one Gerakan pest who’s always trying to score points against Lim GE through nonsensical media releases.

But poor sweetie Jessie in attempting to fling mud at Lim GE had the goo ricochet onto her own face because she either hadn’t prepared herself well and thus muddled up her facts (stupidly asking the CM of Penang to account for Selangor State’s assessment rates) or she was lashing out blinding and indiscriminately just to make noise like anwaristas wakakaka.

But what worries me more has been the threat by Penang Island City Council (MPPP) to sue her, as reported in Malaysiakini’s Apologise or face action, councillors warn Jessie Ooi.

One of the fundamentals of a democracy is that public servants, right from the PM down to a small department office boy, cannot sue any member of the public for complaining and/or criticizing them, regardless of whether the complaint is valid or sheer bullshit, PROVIDED the complaint is about the public service or the poor (or lack of) service its officers have provided, and not anything PERSONAL against an individual.

Example: One can rail and rant against the PM (or the Selangor Economic Advisor wakakaka) for not doing his job but one cannot accuse Najib (or you-know-who wakakaka) for pinching his PA's cute lil' bun, wakakaka, in which situation a police report would then be appropriate.

Thus sweetie Jessie is absolutely correct in declaring in Malaysiakini’s headlines My rights being oppressed, asserts Jessie Ooi in condemning the MPPP for threatening her with legal action over her (no doubt wild and invalid) questions during the Chua SL vs Lim GE debate.

I support her in that public servants cannot use legal means to silence critics who question their policies, plans, implementations of plans and actions (or non action).

I call upon Lim Guan Eng to immediately rein in those equally wild councillors. We cannot have thin skinned legalistic bullies serving as public servants, no matter how incorrect or bitchy the criticisms of some MCA wannabe MP/ADUNs had been wakakaka, unless of course she’s stupid enough to accuse any councillor of having small wee weenie willie wakakaka, when then it becomes a personal insult against an individual ;-)
