The elder anarchist, the other side of Mahathir and kakistocracy. Part 3.

1. Please don't take it lightly. There is only 1 political system which will allow and enable Mahathir's racial hegemonic designs. It's a dictatorial, autocratic and unitary rule.

2. The prescriptions of the doctor can only be supported by a dictatorial regime. Mahathir's Malay Malaysia and malayanised economy can only thrive under Kim Jong Det.

3. Beware of the subtle putsh towards the creation of an Orwellian society preferred by the evil doctor.

4. In such a society, every aspect of public life, will be controlled by a committee of commissars. Of course the final say will be determined by Kim Jong Det.

5. That's the twisted and immoral logic of The Great Leader dr Mahathir in arriving at his dream State. Of course such a state will be baptized and declared sharia compliant by the ecclesiastical dictators.

5. It's part secular and part ecclesiastical wet dream state of Mahathir. It's achieved at the cheap cost of surrendering your scepticism and critical faculties.

6.its some sort of part secular and part divine North Korea. Under that political system Mahathir can ram through any policy he likes-malay Malaysia, malaynised economy or Mahathirnomics.

7. The feudal minded, the free loaders, the layabouts, those who like to see peasants slaved and provide them a luxury lifestyle and they Lord over things etc, will warm up to Mahathir's reactionary ideas .
 

Hence they shout loudly, ready to quarrel with anybody and complained bitterly when the gathering to declare Malay rights is denied. Because they see a privileged and a life of entitlement, go up in smoke .

9. Meanwhile, the ecclesiastical dictators are already indicating the creation of a regimented society where our critical faculties would be exterminated.

10. For example, we now have the presence of a morality police in parliament, where all this while we thought his kind existed in the land of fantasized purity of Kelantan. We are wrong.

11. While we see our nurses or missy wearing proper and becoming attire, the Kuantan mp sees nurses wearing tight and therefore sexually excitable clothing . Perhaps his divine eyes can see what the nurses are wearing underneath their attire, which cause unbeatable stirrings at his loins .

12. I don't care if he's silly enough not to take the opportunity to speak about the spending on COVID vaccines. I am more alarmed at the ominous message he is bringing .

13. The impending doom which the bugger is talking about, nay pray for,is the creation of an Orwellian society.
14. A society in which every aspect of life will be controlled and regulated by strict pompous moral codes. Soon every women will wear jilbabs and chador. Men will have to sport beards and all non Muslim men will have to be circumcised. Hurrah! For a gloomy society .

15. The latest danger that's threatening us, is the speech by the newly appointed mb of klate. It's irresponsible and divisive.

16. That cleric says that those who oppose pas, oppose the strive for Islam. You are judged and convicted for having a different political persuasion and denomination.

17. For now you are judged and convicted for having a different political belief but soon it will be generalised to being punished for being different.

18. So, non Malays will have no future and a multiracial country is anathema. It's a country dreamt of by the other side of Mahathir and the ecclesiastical dictators.

19. So if we love this multiracial country, all reasonable people must reject the entreatments of Mahathir and the ecclesiastical dictators.

20. Having said the above, I find one criticism by Mahathir which is persuasive, credible and a bit difficult to dispute. That is, this country is fast becoming a kakistocracy. IE rule by incompetents.

21. Except I wouldn't go as far as saying that this country is a kakistocracy. Mahathir is of bies course being melodramatic. How else to catch the attention of the political zombies?

22. Here's how I look at it. There are above average, average and below average performers. The below average performers are dragging the work quality of the government.

23. Whether you like it or not, the hard truth is the above average performers are the DAP people. Perhaps they have the determination and resolve to do their jobs well for the country .

24. Their work ethics and quality, have earned them racist disapprobation. Mahathir et all, have accused the government as being dominated by the DAP. That is preposterous -the truth is the Malay ministers are not up to the mark .

25. So stop blaming others for your own deficiencies. Mahathir should start looking at his own team .

26. Notwithstanding all the above, why is it important to have the right people for the right jobs? Or to avoid placing square pegs in a round hole?

27. Because when that trust is violated or when you entrust the wrong people to do a job, then doomsday or in this case, the downfall of the government will come .

28. It is reported that the prophet of Islam was giving a sermon. A Bedouin walked in and asked, when will doomsday or kiamat come?

29. The prophet did not answer immediately. At the end of the sermon, the prophet asked. Who was the one who asked about kiamat? It is I, said the Bedouin.

30. Kiamat will come when trust is violated. The other companions asked. When is trust violated?

31. Thus when I see ministers endorsing a certain film in which they know nothing about, or uttering nonsensical things like, kita lagi kuat boh, I knew something is terribly wrong.

32. These ministers like you and I, are just movie watchers. They are probably more eager to get the phone numbers of the female artistes and hoping to score. Hehe.

33. This whole business about putting square pegs in a round hole must begin with the PM, papa Non, himself.

34. He must stop 'cheapening' himself. Eating ikan Bakar, nasi biryani, pasembor or Mee Abu and publicising them. We know la. Hang suka tu , chombi

35. He should reduce becoming a street agitator and demagogue rabble rouser. That role should be taken over by the PKR yahoo boys

36. In doing all those,he makes it easy for some people to contemptuously ridicule him and to mockingly criticise him .

37. In my mind, he must be ready to apply the iron hand. He must start becoming a strict disciplinarian on errant ministers and pesky trouble makers.

38. Forget the celebration of differences and of artificial liberalism. Like Lee Kuan Yew, when you are pushed to the corner, you must come out with the brass knuckles.

39. Never be shy to use something similar to the Isa on repugnant people;such as those who want to use different theme for Merdeka. They are acting treasonous.

40. It's an inexcusable abberation, that must be dealt with firmly. Remember, as Lee Kuan Yew said, sending your opponents to jail, is like making love to a virgin. It's painful initially, but is pleasurable subsequently.

41. Perhaps, the PM is imprisoned by the reformasi slogan. So, the political process becomes so tempered and magnanimous. Such that the pm cannot act decisively.

42. The whole reformasi thing, is that it represents a huge slack on pmx. It curtails him from doing the assertive action.

43. Failure to take decisive actions,makes the whole reformasi movement, so leisurely and placid. Reformasi is like doing a painting, making embroidery, drinking teh Tarik, eating pasembor or eating nasi kandar beratoq .

44. And failure to do so will make the pm seem hypocritical. He is but a smoked salmon socialist, gauche caviar, limousine and Lear jet liberal and the latest, a Louis Vuitton liberal. He is forever regarded as a pathological liar. Therefore act!

45. I am suspicious of the phrase reformasi. It's slow and imperceptible. It can also mean you become a better thief, embezzler and more dishonest, on the quiet side.

46. I prefer the term revolution. It must involve a little violence and upheaval because it's the overthrow of one class by another. The oppressor by the oppressed, the dishonest by the righteous!

47. In the next and final part, I will discuss the other average and below average performers. Rafizi for instance gave a convoluted story that failed to explain why the ringgit dived. The trade minister tells an economy created by spurious results .

Vanishing UMNO. Part 1

1. Let UMNO fade into insignificance, let us not be sorry UMNO is fast becoming irrelevant. The hard truth is people no longer like UMNO and will not give two hoots whatever happens to UMNO.

2. For all they care, UMNO can go to hell, fade into oblivion or self implode. They all want to perform the last rites on oomno .

3. Can UMNO moderate itself? When someone asks such a question, I feel like laughing.

4. That's asking UMNO to be ordinary, run off the mill, temperate etc. Like AR Tompel says,'impossible'!

5. With the bellicose, xenophobic and paranoid voices coming from the 2nd echelon UMNO leaders, asking UMNO to moderate itself is like asking a camel to go through a needle hole .

6. For example, the berserked and almost maniacal noises from the UMNO youth head, seemed to find consonance with the UMNO hoi polloi, that to ask UMNO to slow down is like asking a driver speeding at 120mph to suddenly engage the reverse gear. The car can overturn and perhaps kill all the passengers . That can happen to UMNO .

7. The great economist, Milton Friedman wrote a book called Bright promises, Dismal performance. That's how I looked at UMNO. It promises the moon and the stars, but only a few bought .

8. UMNO won 19 of the 108 seats it contested. There's a joke making its round among the chattering class, that the number of charges faced by jahid are more than UMNO seats won, combined . ( Pru +prn).

9. UMNO then , is the proverbial carcass of a monitor lizard carried by PH. It's the sick-man of the unity government.

10. As expected of UMNO, it must find somebody to blame for its dismal performance. It's typical for UMNO to find a scapegoat. And the one ,most convenient is wak jahid, the lazy and not so smart ' presideng'.

11. What UMNO wants to do with the Bagan latok neanderthal, we don't Care. The UMNO cavemen can even string Zahid by his balls,for all we care. It's no skin off our noses .

12. But when some UMNO quarters start blaming others, especially the DAP for instance, this behavior confirms that UMNO is in a state of non compos mentis .

13. UMNO is suffering from a massive don Quixote syndrome. It fancies itself a knight or an invincible adi Putra striking out at Chinese dragons or Indian nagas

14. Perhaps suffering from mad cow disease also, some UMNO mental retards attribute it's poor performance to its association with DAP.

15. That view is both erroneous and preposterous. A few examples can easily debunk such a myopic view .

16. At the first level, DAP contests in non Malays dominated areas and usually against non Malays candidates. Malay votes are insignificant there .

17. Secondly, DAP also contests in mixed areas where non Malay population is around 30 to 40%. To win,DAP will need 20 to 30% Malay votes, assuming it gets 80% non Malay votes .

18. DAP needs free will Malay votes, but is hardly hard up of Malay votes. It's a case of melukut ditepi gantang, keluar tak mengurangi, Masuk tak menambah

19. Hence to ditch mein Fuhrer Zahid will not solve the woes UMNO is facing. To assign importance to Zahid either way, is to assign importance to him much more than he deserves. The man deserves nothing .

20. Zahid has provided a populist, pat you in the back leadership and a clueless direction for UMNO. But the UMNO delegates chose him democratically and must also remove him the same way. Having made your bed, you must now lie in it .

21. Then there is the question of would Zahid leave UMNO and by necessity, the post of DPM? My answer is nein! Nahi!

22. If Zahid were to leave the 2 posts, he would be naked as it were. He would no longer has the illusion of protection from the 2 posts .

23. And imagine if Zahid were to be naked. Some people will faint and small children will get nightmares.

The elder anarchist.Part 2

1. One of the most contentious and disputed issues raised by Mahathir is his view that multiracial Malaysia is against the Malaysian constitution.
 

2. Hence the calls to form and describe Malaysia as a multiracial country is against the constitution.
 

3. To Mahathir, Malaysia is a Malay country. The non Malays can physically cohabit the country of course, provided they willingly subsume their culture, language to Malay cultural expressions.
 

4. The plurality of cultures is possible because our constitution allowed it. To rant about it now , I think is bridge under the water, the rice has become porridge as it were.
 

5. By Mahathir's logic, the fault is with the constitution. Then, change the constitution. Rename Malaysia. Peninsula Malaysia ought to be renamed federation of Malay states. East Malaysia ought to become federation of Borneo.
 

6. But sometthings don't turn out the way you want them to. You can't put back the toothpaste in the tube. The constitution allowed and tolerated pluralism.
 

7. If mahathir cannot change the social constructs when he had power and controlled parliament, it's unfair to expect Anwar who had been in power for not even a year to change things as Mahathir wanted. Furthermore , who want to accept Mahathir's final solution?
 

8. Mahathir's racial hegemony is not as comprehensive as Hitler's Aryan race, but eerily similar to Mussolini's 1939 manifesto on race. Mahathir's touted and much bitched about Malay declaration is but a toxic race rhetoric.
 

9. Shall we now call present day Mahathir as our own IL duce ? At the end of the day, what he ventilated on race, is toxic rhetoric.
 

10. Whatever Mahathir said on race, was just his ventilation and rhetoric. They are meant to attract and secure the allegiance of Malay rednecks and irrationals. The run amok types and the readily quarrelsome types. They are also his desperate attempts to stay relevant in Malaysian politics.
 

11. Having been unsuccessful in restructuring Malaysia as he wanted, he is estopped from doing what he wants. That not a legal estoppel, but a political estoppel.
 

12. Sure enough, Mahathir has attracted the allegiance of the cerebral layabouts and laggards who gleefully based their reasoning on Anwar being a pathological liar and insinuations that he is a supporter of lbgt persuasions .
 

13. Asked why he had not structured Malaysian society as he wished when he had the power, Mahathir answered apologetically and with a straight- face
 

14. Despite enjoying near absolute power for 22 years and a further 18 months, Mahathir says he has only achieved partial success. This is because he is hampered by several constraints.
 

15. Firstly, Mahathir says he was constrained by the large population of the non Malays compared to Malays. The sizeable number of non Malays allowed them to resist Malay hegemonic designs by Mahathir.
 

16. Plus of course when push comes to shove, Mahathir actually, doesn't have an absolute rule quotient in his constitution.
 

17. But soon, the population argument would no longer be relevant. By 2030, the population of the Malays is expected to be around 80%. Now, if you remove the population argument, the only determinant for the success or failure of Mahathir's racial hegemonic designs is a dictatorial political system .
 

18. While Mahathir may not have a dictator quotient in his blood, the same cannot be said of the dour din 'puffy' Yassin or the eclesiastical dictator, Hadi Al marang.
 

19. A more important constraint Mahathir faced, was an is the economic dominance of the non Malays. Since, political power comes from the barrel of the economic gun, the non Malays can resist any racial hegemonic agenda pushed by Mahathir.
 

20. As to the reasons why the Malays cannot achieve economy dominance as quickly as Mahathir wants and therefore thwart his racial agenda, that would be the subject of a seperate article. You just cannot legislate 'the want to' mentality. That's part of the culture argument of the doctor.
 

21. The most important reason as to why we should object and reject Mahathir's prognoses , is that both his multiracial Malaysia is against the constitution and a forceful economic redesign- is that both is supported by one kind of political system.
 

22. The political system which we are talking about is the system of the dictator, the system of autocratic and unilateral rule. All right thinking Malaysians must vociferously object and reject Mahathir's thinking on this.
 

23. Mahathir's ideas are against the charter of the freeman . The charter of the freeman is to be free from all forms of coercion. Be that from secular people like Mahathir, mahiadin and people of their ilk or from the eclesiastical dictators like the mad mullahs.
 

24. While I disagree with Mahathir's racial agenda, there is a cogent, potent and even venomous thinking from him that I find difficult to dispute.
 

25. The Anwar government is fast becoming a kakistocracy. That is not a Malay word. It is an English term, meaning a government of incompetents.


The discussion on that will be in part 3.

The elder statesman or elder anarchist. Part 1



1. Whether you like it or you don't like it learn to live with it. The doctrinaire, prejudiced and ultra rightist thinking of dr m, attracts the scruffy looking and cerebrally challenged tick-tokers and vlogers to it. Well, false patriotism and extremism is the refuge of scoundrels.

2. Dr M's ultra rightist thinking becomes a natural magnet attracting the riff Raff of society, the quarrel some, the combative and the naturally adverserial types

3. As a result, Dr M's scummy ideas find resonance among the scum of society. It's true when they say the cream rises to the top, but so does the scum. The ease by which our multimedia operates, allow all Tom dick and Harry to give their 2 cents worth of opinion.

4. There you have it. That's how I described the degenerates who are attracted to the zanny ideas of papa doc Mahathir. Scruffy looking tick tockers and quarrelsome Joe's. If you are not happy with the way I described them, you can shove your angst at the part of your anatomy where the sun does not shine.

5. I think it is futile and a waste of time to debunk Dr M's thinking with all the legal argle bargle or describing the old man's ideas as hate speech.

6. Such counter arguments are of no use as they will not move a man who can't be bothered if he's remembered or not or a man who doesn't expect to be 98 and who doest not expect to live beyond 75.

7. Dr m is an old man sitting on a rocking chair disturbing passing young girls. You can't fault him for that.

8. Dr M laments the the Malaysian economy is still in the doldrums. Economic recovery is not instantaneous and is a work in progress. It is unreasonable to say that pm Anwar Ibrahim wants to preside over a stagnant economy. To create a tiger economy is not a monopoly of dr m. Such an economy is doable by anyone else too .

9. Papa doc Duvalier M, says the government is a kleptocratic government. That's a dragnet statement scooping all life forms in the ocean. Yet the statement is unsubstantiated and not supported by proofs.

10. The statement, though unsubstantiated is seductive and persuasive precisely because it's difficult to disprove .

11. Corruption, small or big and it's rawrest form, kleptocracy started during M's time. The enabling structure was spawned by him. So ,by extension it's logical to assume the same cancerous things would also happen during Anwar's time.

12. But that could only happen if we were to assume that Anwar would create the same environment as Mahathir did. So far we have not have any proofs and can substantiate that kleptocracy is alive and well under Anwar's government.

13. Sure, we have heard of 1MDB, who Kapur the 42m who has 47 charges, the LCS scandal, the opv or the howitzer guns. All these were committed by UMNO people who were cultured by Mahathir. Anwar is not severally liable for these dastardly acts .

14. So for Mahathir to say that Anwar's government is corrupt or to use the exotic term kleptocratic, is both miscellaneous and irresponsible. The statement is rhetorical and will needlessly be repeated ad nauseam by misguided souls. Just because corruption is carried out by Mahathir's UMNO progenies, the same cannot be also said about Anwar's people. Not yet and not so fast .

15. Even though Mahathir said that this government is corrupt in his typical inscrutable manner and in a poker faced way in front of a group of rather intimidated and respectful journalists, characteristic of vintage Mahathir, consider this. Could that cavalier statement be Mahathir's preemptive strike to scare off Anwar from digging meticulously in corruption and illicit wealth of Mahathir's own cronies and groupies? Think about it .

16. It's a statement like a net casted wide and long scrapping all life forms. It's seductiveness lies in fact that it cannot be proven.

17. To that we can say, that which is asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence too. Why should we believe Mahathir?

18. The illicit wealth which Mahathir referred to, were committed by UMNO people and with them, possibly by MCA and MIC brethren,following the footsteps of their big Taiko UMNO .\

19. That committed by the BN degenerates, cannot also be imputed to be carried out by the PH people . We have to learn to apportion blame in this issue.

20. That aside, Mahathir's blankety statement can be dismissed in the same spirit as told by Christopher Hitchens, in his 'letter to a young contrarian' thus:-

21. ' beware of the unreasonable, though seductive. Mahathir's blanket statement implicating implicating everyone, is unreasonable. If you want to blame someone, blame the UMNO, MCA and the MIC joes. Not the PH people yet. The statement is seductive because people like to bitch about the illicit wealth of politicians.

22. Reject the seemingly transcendental statement even if uttered by an elderly statesman like Mahathir. He's fast becoming an elderly anarchist. It's not a statement etched in stone or having biblical truth .

23. What Mahathir is doing is to subtly destroy and annihilate your inquisitive selves. Have some dignity, continue to dispute and question what anyone say. Don't be afraid of being accused as being argumentative or selfish.
