BERSIH 2.0 is Malaysiakini's Newsmaker for 2011 by Readers' Choice

Over the past 10 years, Malaysiakini has without fail picked a newsmaker come December as we bring the curtain down on the year.

A newsmaker is defined as "someone whose actions make news headlines, who effects the course of public discourse and creates an impact in Malaysian politics, for better or worse".

For 2011, we have decided to break from our decade-old tradition, and instead let Malaysiakini readers select their choice from a list of seven.

As many would have expected, it was really a two-horse race. Both contenders are nevertheless related – one is an individual who is widely seen as the face of a movement, while the other are the 50,000 people, many of whom faceless, who braved chemical-laced water and tear gas in the streets of Kuala Lumpur on that July day when the nation stood up and said 'no' to electoral fraud.

Yesterday, Malaysiakini readers named the Bersih movement as the top news of 2011. So it's not surprising that the choice of newsmaker for this year is between Bersih coordinator Ambiga Sreenevasan and Bersih supporters, the Malaysians who supported the remarkable movement.

The award goes to…

And the newsmaker of 2011 is – it should be 'are' – the Bersih supporters! Of the 1,222 Malaysiakini readers who took part in the five-day survey, 491 picked Bersih supporters, while 305 opted for Ambiga.

'First Lady' Rosmah Mansor finished third with 181 votes, perhaps helped by the many allegations surrounding her, chief among them a RM24 million diamond ring.

This is the second year that the newsmaker award goes to a group of people and not an individual.

In 2008, Malaysiakini named 'you' as newsmakers for "thinking the unthinkable and daring to achieve it" in the wake of the political tsunami that swept the country.

The big question is: Will 'you' again be the newsmaker of the year in 2012?–www.malaysiakini.com

YB SEX SCANDAL - PART 4 (from Sabahkini)- in Malay

BAB 1, SIRI IV : SEKRITARI (SAMBUNGAN) DALAM siri ketiga, Sabahkini.net terus dihujani dengan pelbagai pertanyaan terutama benarkah Skandal Tersebut melibatkan YB yang bernama Rahim sedangkan sudah dinyatakan bahawa jika ada persamaan nama atau tempat hanya secara kebetulan sahaja; tetapi mereka terus mendesak untuk mengetahui sama ada tokoh berkenaan YB mereka. YB Rahim adalah lambang manusia biasa yang menggunakan kedudukan politik, jawatan dan pengaruh untuk melakukan apa sahaja perlakuan yang mungkin menyebabkan para pengundi kesal dengan tindakannya, namun enggan menegur kegiatan jalangnya. Terdapat puluhan malah ratus YB Rahim di Malaysia yang berwajah seperti nabi tetapi bernafsu seperti babi dan kisah ini adalah kisah benar yang dirakamkan daripada mangsa yang tewas atau ditewaskan oleh kegiatan persundalan VVIP yang menjadikan wanita sebagai Mesin Seks namun enggan bertanggung jawab; termasuk yang menyimpan benih di dalam rahim wanita tetapi mencari Pak Sanggup untuk menutupi...

BAB 1, SIRI III : SEKRITARI (SAMBUNGAN) DALAM siri kedua, Sabahkini.net menerima pelbagai kutukan daripada pembaca kerana tidak mendedahkan lokasi sebenar, nama tokoh sebenar, YB dari parti mana; namun sebenarnya semua sudah dinyatakan dalam Siri I dan Siri II. Mungkin ramai membaca dengan mata terbeliak kerana mereka harus membaca dengan mata hati dan mata minda untuk menjadikan kes ini sebagai iktibar. YB juga manusia, yang bukan sahaja mempunyai hati dan perasaan, malah bernafsu besar sekalipun tenaga kurang! Ikuti Siri III untuk Bab 1: Sekritari yang menjadi igauan negeri ramai YB kerana mereka juga tidak sunyi daripada melakukan kesilapan disebabkan menyimpan gundik, melakukan jenayah seksual seperti mencabul kehormatan, merogol dan meliwat; malah mengamalkan Rasuah Seks yang sukar dibuktikan oleh SPRM.
