Competency and suitability:- UMNO and PPBM

1. I want readers to know that I am not conjuring up the word kakistocracy. Such a word does exist. It's not a derivative of the Malay word kaki.

2. If you google up the word it means a government by the least competent or suitable of our citizens.

3. For practical purposes, the least competent means you don't have the basic educational and technical skills to do a particular job.

4. An example is the choice between an MCE/SPM holder and a degree holder. Would you choose the former? You would have to explain a concept or idea to that person repeatedly. Or a 3rd class honours lawyer facing a first Class lawyer in court. Who do you think would likely win?

5. Therefore, competence is the possession of the necessary technical skills. Suitability on the other hand is your aptitude, your fit, compassion and so on. It's the measure of you as to whether you are a square peg in a round hole.

6. The two requirements are what I see coming into play in Muhyi's cabinet. It's as though these matters are irresponsibly ignored.

7. How I see the cabinet is aptly described as follows:-

BREAKING NEWS:-

Researchers in Bolehland have discovered the densest element yet known to science.
The new element, Gomenbutonium (symbol=Gb), has one moron, 25 assistant morons, 88 deputy morons and 198 assistant deputy morons, giving it an atomic moron mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces of self-interest, which are surrounded by vast quantities of clingon-like particles called macais.

Since Gomenbutonium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A tiny amount of Gomenbutonium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Gomenbutonium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant morons and deputy morons exchange places.
In fact, Gomenbutonium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more self-interest to increase morons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of increased moron multiplication leads some scientists to believe that Gomenbutonium is formed whenever minor morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical moronassery.

When catalysed with money, Gomenbutonium becomes Administranium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Gomenbutonium, since it has half as many macais but with twice as much self-interest. Administranium is known to be heavily populated by minor morons seeking promotion to Gomenbutonium.

8. One of the things mentioned by Michael Porter, famous for his books on competitive strategies and so on, says that how we configure our demand determines the outcome. If we demand mediocrity we get mediocrity.

9. This principle is so universally true and simple that it is usually ignored. That if we demand duds we get duds and nincompoops and dolts. It's like the Arab proverb that says we reap what we sow. So demand the righteous and altruistic. Feel free to choose.

10. If however, the umno rank and file chose crooks like Najib and empty vessels like Bung and money lovers like Teuku Adnan school bullies like Tajuddin and untrustworthiness like Zahid, then they have to live with their choice. They are free to be uninformed idiots.

11. Their choice however reflects confusion in their morality and a highly reduced values system. Throw out the teachings of morals and righteousness. All those pontifications and preachings of Islamic values are just mere verbiage giving the speakers their 5-minute fame.

12. Applying it to umno further, over 60 years of dumbing down by the crook leadership has produced unthinking dolts. Such that making a simple choice between good and evil is so difficult. That's how umno is destroyed. Carry on!

13. The choice before umno is clear. Choose upright and altruistic leaders. Its back to the fundamentals and first principles. Reject the bad apples.

14. The umno rank and file should consider people like Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to resuscitate a drowning umno. This may sound like a naked and brazen proposition. I make no apologies for that. What is that compared to the urgent need of saving umno from the evil clutches of the new school umno leaders?

15. What right have I as a non umno member to speak about umno?
I speak as a detached person and more so as a Malay. That gives me the right. As a Malay I have the right to demand from a political party that claims it alone speaks for the Malays, to reject mediocrity. For so long we die because of blind loyalty, now we rebel to live.

16. Unfortunately the same inimical buffoonery is continued by swollen face Muhyi. He continues to recruit the least competent and least suitable to fill up his government. Nero fiddles while Rome burns. Muhyi golfs while Malaysia goes to the dogs. Long live kakistocracy!
