Reformasists, Revisionists and the reactionary. Part 1 . Contrarian essays no 13

1. One year into the tenure of Anwar Ibrahim, a friend of my brother asked him to ask me, whether Anwar will still be PM come the next GE.

2. Without hesitation, I said yes. Pak Sheikh as he is known to many, showed a lot of promise .

3. The majority of us had faith in him as the change agent. Undo the doing of government business, doing business the usual way. We had faith in him to carry out what Machiavelli said, ' I am not interested in preserving the status quo, but in overthrowing it. Isn't that reform-ising the old ways?

4. He made many promises that were pleasing to our ears. Reduction of electricity tariffs, reduced cost of living, cheaper oil, weeding out corruption and so on.

5. He had a determined team to carry out his reformasi agenda.

6. He was able to bind the OG( the original gang, not gangster) to his cause- DAP and AMANAH) . When he formed a government, others from Sarawak and Sabah joined him. Even the forever opportunistic UMNO for relevancy issue and for self preservation reasons, joined him .

7. Yes, for these reasons, I had no hesitation then, to say Anwar will continue to be PM after the next GE.

8. Now, I find it increasingly difficult to defend him. I have to eat humble pie not to see power has an edifying effect on PM's political longevity. The person asking my brother that question, has some doubts about Anwar's staying power- political that is.

9. Still, I refuse to believe and don't want Anwar to be a one trick sensation.

10. That's why I am disappointed, especially after the exit of Rafizi and gang in PKR's leadership, Anwar is surrounded by lackeys, pliant people, yes men, apple polishers and the like to downright reactionaries .

11. There will be no one bold enough to remind Anwar to remain steadfast to reformasi ideals. Not the thuggish home minister, not the powdered pompadour communications minister, the uncle tom-ming characters and never the singing female canaries. Nurulizzah does not feature in at all.

12. Let's place these characters in the context of reformasists( I prefer this term than reformists) revisionists and reactionaries. See how they fare.

13. The reformasists are those who are determined and single minded wanting radical changes in the business of government. The difference between them and revolutionists is the way of achieving them. Reformists seek change through the ballot box while revolutionists seek change by violence and bloodshed.

14. Reformasists seek power through ballot box while to revolutionists, power is through the barrel of the gun .

15. Revisionists started out as reformasists but for the edifying and corrosive effects of savouring power, they start to balk and vacillate.

16. They start giving 1001 reasons to delay reformasi. That it needs time and must be done step by step or dare I say, in and out. Although the in and out motion , to me refer to some other pleasurable pursuits!

17. They achieved this stalling of reformasi by verbal semantics or verbal gymnastics.

18. You know how some people can convince you that he's holding a pomelo instead of prickly durian. Birds flying up high can come eat from their hands. Or through their verbal artistry stimulate giggling girls into getting orgasm. Wow!

19. The reactionary is the worse of the lot. They actually don't want to overthrow the business as usual ways but amplify them in better ways.

20. They just want to make hay while the sun shines. They want to sakau as much as long as they are in power. But remember, the sun indeed does rise, but it also sets .

21. Now I think I know why an inquisitive and a perennial busybody person like Rafizi and gang must be out of PKR's leadership.

22. This is to prevent people like Rafizi throwing a spanner in the works to wasteful and imbecilic ideas like kota MADANI .

23. The ' this is your ATM minister has moved from the FT ministry to kota MADANI. Yaay!

24. I thought only Mahathir had his erections in the form of the PETRONAS twin towers, Anwar has many in the form of phallic shaped buildings in kota MADANI.

25. I hope I am not the only person who don't want to see pak shekh as a one trick pony.

26. PKR people not concerned about the leadership of Anwar Ibrahim are digging their own graves.

27 . This is part 1 of my article on this. From generalities, I will discuss specifics. See you.

Dancing with the addendum. Part 1. Contrarian essays no 12.

1. As a loyal citizen like all of you, the agungs decree is my command. I am talking about the pardon of our cause celebre, involving red lips Najib.

2. The pardoning is the cause celebre. It has caused much polarisation.

3. As a loyal citizen, I obey the decree. But it doesn't mean I agree to it. You can say I am obey under protest.

4. Here are my arguments. You are at liberty to disagree. It's no skin off my nose.

5. I think, the composition of the pardons board is unconstitutional.

6. The king sat with the FT minister and a few other luminaries. That was hardly representative of the 3 branches of government -the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. Let's call this, pardons board 'A'.

7. Ideally, the king should have sat with the executive, certain number of the legislature and certain number of the federal court judges. Then the King would have been sitting with all the 3 branches of government. Let's call this pardons board 'B'.

8. Pardons board B if far more superior than pardons board A. Pardons board B is more constitutional than pardons board A.

9. Since pardons board A is less constitutional than pardons board B, its findings especially on convicted Najib is inferior.

10. Which to means the discounts given to Najib ( the jail sentence and fine) is justiciable.

11. It can be overturned by the federal court. 12. Pardons board A the is in fact usurping the role of parliament as the legislature. We cannot allow pardons board A to rival the legislature and the executive.

13. The findings of pardons board A are erroneous.

14. The King should have recused himself as it were from presiding the pardons board, A or B.

15. The King, who is also the sultan of pahang, knows Najib very well. 16. Najib is in fact the 11th orang besar berempat of the pahang royal court.

17. The king should have assigned his deputy to sit with pardons board A. This is to dispell any suspicion of biasness .

18. Hoi, if the criteria to recuse oneself, is because the chair knows the appellant, then no one is qualifed to substitute the king.

19. All the kings know Najib. He is the ex pm. And looting 42m is not exactly stealing kacang putih, whom no one does know of.

20. Yes, all the other kings know him but not as close as the agung who is the sultan of pahang. His relationship with Najib is special.

21. These are my reasons why I don't agree with the pardon. I think pardons board A is unconstitutional. It's findings can be overturned by the federal court.

22. Pardons board A has usurped the power of parliament.

23. There is a real possibility of biasness. 24. Well, those are the reasons why I disagree with the pardon. But as a loyal subject, the kings decree is my command.

25. Finally, let me say something on the damn pardon issue. Why are we tripping over one another to exonerate Najib in any way we can?

26. We must not allow crooks who looted this country to get away scott free. Or to see the punishment given to them be watered down by some unconscionable constructs.

27. It's grossly unfair that some people, highborn, should be given privileged treatment while ordinary people received unjust justice.

28. It wouldn't surprise me, if the applicant's name for a pardon were a Mr pOH Kee mak, the pardons board wouldn't bat an eyelid and has his application dustbinned. And he wouldn't even smell the over hyped term 'due process '.

29. Yes , I am a Malay but I won't shy away from talking about latent Malay racism. And of course I will speak the same about Chinese or indian latent racism. 30. If some people, highborn and bourgeois get to abuse and even mock the law by some shyster argument, then we are sending the wrong message.

31. Which is that some people embellished with some some prerogatives can abuse the law with impunity and if found guilty can expect to be pardoned

32. In contrast, we should be telling all , especially the younger generation to always hold high the principles of the rule of law and supremacy of the law.

33. We must never forget the reminder, ' be ye ever so high, the law is above you '.

34. In the 2nd part of my article, I will give some views on the much ballyhooed addendum issue. Get your popcorn ready.

DNAA on a certain John Doe. Contrarian essays no 11

1. One of the famous parkinson's laws has it as saying, work expands to fill up the time allocated.

2. A variant of this law must say that idle work, stupidity, incompetence or just monkeying around-these expand so as to fill the time allocated,by the AG.

3. These factors must be the reasons why since 2019, the AGC has not been able to gather all the documents and evidence to mount up their case. What can we say, other than:-

4. Tiu Nia seng, cibai stuff, pundek etc. 5. When the judge says, it's clear that the prosecution is not ready to argue their case, that's a terrible indictment on the competency of the AGC prosecution team .

5(b). We are lucky that the judge found DNAA. The AGC still has a second chance to redeem it's credibility.

6. What if he had found the defendant as not guilty and gave him full acquittal?

7. Many of us would be horrified. The Malay supremacists, the entitled degenerates, the must have preferential treatment groups will be laughing at us .

8. The justice that many of us reasonable man had hoped for, that the defendant who spirited away 27m be found guilty. That would have erased his happiness.

9. Isn't it logical, if he is found guilty in the 1st sec case, he would be found similarly so in the 2nd SRC case?

10. But for the incompetence of the AGC team, the defendant got a reprieve or holiday as it were.

11. In ancient Japan, people who were entrusted with responsibility would be utterly ashamed and driven to commit seppuku.

12. In this country, no need for that. Just jump out of the window to see whether you can fly.

13. Just who are these people? Are they duds or people who had received their law degrees from kopi O institutions?

14. A friend once told me. Lawyers are like eggs. We have grades A, B, C or D. Most of the lawyers in AGC must be of the D grade.

15. Next, the duration of the legal process measured in terms of time- number of months , years is obsolete.

16. Perhaps a better measure , is in terms of the number of deaths. Since 2019, how many Malaysians have died? Due to natural causes or otherwise.

17. Maybe that macabre measure will jolt the senses of the legal fraternity.

18. Sure, we have heard of the expression that justice rushed is justice crushed. But it's equally true that justice delayed is justice denied.

19. But since 2019? It's ridiculous isn't it?

20. The lengthy legal process reminds me of a story. An elephant is running with hunted antelopes. Why are you running? You are not antelopes like us. Yes, but at the rate they are going, it may take them 20 years to ascertain that I am an elephant.

21. To redeem themselves, the AGC team must refile their submission ASAP. Don't go back to your wives or husbands. Complete your job. Stay back at the office. Watch pornography if you feel frisky. But finish your job .

22. With all the firepower behind them, the money, government support , the resources, it's baffling why they can't do their job. Unless they are of grade D eggs.

23. To ensure that only grade A eggs get into the AGC, the chamber must be restructured.

24. Only 2nd upper, 1st class law graduates and those with advance degrees in law are to be recruited into the AGC. Good God, you people are the governments lawyers. You can't afford to be 2nd rate .

25. Look at what mediocrity has done to you. The defence lawyer can ridicule, snicker, belittle and disparage you in public . As the Malay says, mana mahu taruh muka. Jatuh kemaluan .

26. Once again, I must say the fault lies squarely on the AGC shoulders. The judge can only rule based on the submissions before him. As it is, he is saving the AGC. Imagine if he had found a not guilty verdict for the defendant. The AG has to commit hara Kiri then .

27. Finally I have to comment on one sore sideshow. For the umpteenth time. Why is the defendant in court wearing bespoke suits? Not in prison pyjamas?

28. If that is any indication, we can be sure he's receiving special treatment at the Kajang spa resort.

29. With special living quarters, grab food deliveries and monthly masseuse services from ah beng massat centre maa.

30. Tell us, which part of the 'ex' you don't understand?

Solitary, brutish and vicious umbrella. Contrarian essays no 10

1. I can't be 2 extremes simultaneously. I can't high praise and besmirch someone at the same. It's going to be an either or thing .

2. In this case , I can't talk the sky about Dr m and at the same time talk disparagingly about him .

3. The contributions of Dr m to the nation has been immense. He seems able to do impossible things .

4. For that I have called him as the man who can walk on water.

5. But his recent calls to form an umbrella where all the Malay supremacists, hegemonists, bigots and bullies unite, reverse a bit of his accomplishments.

6. It's just a call for a union of racist tribes. Groups that are moved by tribal interests .

7. It will be a spectre that is haunting Malaysia. An unholy union of Malay supremacists, bullies, Corruptors , thieves the worst of our society.

8. Don't tell people that it will fail. Some types will join it. It's more important to persuade most of us not to join it. Because a concentration of evil forces under 1 umbrella threatens the whole of society. That is why, we must oppose it.

9. Because most people think it's not good for society, the calls to unite under 1 reactionary umbrella, I am glad has not gained much traction.

10. Such a union is based on 2 false premises and promises. Such a union, it is said will stop the malays losing political power and such a union will strengthen Malay economics. Both are wrong and here are my reasons.

11. Have you heard of the expression, demography is destiny? By 2030, malays will constitute 80% of the population of Malaysia. It's impossible for a minority group to gain political power. If not Dr mahathirs group, it will be another Malay group. Losing political power means only Dr m's group losing power. The pm will always be Malay.

12. The desire to concentrate power in 1 group, indicates the mind of the fascist, the dictator, the absolute ruler. That time which M longs for, is over.

13. The importance of having a plurality of political groups is that their presence constitutes competition and offering us choices. Making choices is one important feature of democracy.

14. The mind wanting to accumulate all political power under one umbrella is undemocratic. The plurality of groups ensure choices are open to us and therefore , they are more democratic.

15. The call for malays to unite under 1 umbrella is just a ploy to unite all undemocratic malays under one roof. The crooks, corrupts, hegemonists, racists, despots, monopolists, dictatorial groups are to unite under 1 umbrella.

16. The cord that will bind them is the narrative that such a unity will ensure that tanah melayu will remain under melayu hands .

17. Such a narrative is patently false. Its logic flies in the face of demography is destiny argument. Soon malays will make up 80% of Malaysia's population . How could 80% be defeated by the 20%?

18. The malays losing power are the groups under the umbrella, not the rest of us .

19. Also, there is a big assumption that the 20% spend 24 hours thinking , plotting, conspire about ways to overthrow the malays .

20. That is the obsessive thinking of 1 Malaysian 'papa doc Duvalier'.

21. Doesn't it cross our mind that the 20% want to live peacefully, to be inclusive, tolerate each other and share prosperity? Instead of being in constant loggerheads with the Malays?

22. The state of being in constant animosity, tension, distrust and antagonism is a state dreamt of by a Malaysian 'papa doc Duvalier' .

23. All rational Malaysians must politely refuse the invitation to unite under 1 umbrella.

24. To unite against who? Against the yellow menace? Against Tamil tigers?

25. Malays- stop being a don quixote attacking a windmill, thinking is a dragon .

26 . The call to unite under 1 umbrella will also allow the bottom feeders, the crooks, the corrupts( as noun) to get in .

27. These are the people who will exploit, oppress and suppress ordinary malays .

28. As early as 1927 or earlier in the annals of Abdullah munsyi, the great thinker zaaba warned malays, that the ones oppressing and exploiting the most are leaders amongst them .

29. So, malays be wary and circumspect of the call by Dr Mahathir.

30. To malays who are Muslims , they should be aware that there maybe restrictions and constraints to come under such a group.

31. Part of Quran 5:2 established 2 principles. One, you cooperate, unite or come together to help in the pursuit of greater good and the elevation of taqwa. Second, don't help in the pursuit of rancour and evil .

32. There are both a positive and negative sanctions .

33. Don't ever think the presence of a religious character at the umbrella event, gives it a Islamic stamp of approval.

34. It only goes to show that because of political expediency, religious principles are conveniently ignored!

35. We must want and demand plurality of political groups. Because that would mean choices and more freedom leading to the formation of a freer political system. That is the basis of much economic progress .

36. Dr mahathirs umbrella arrangement is actually the formation of a central command system. He gets to determine who progresses and who stays behind. We have seen the results of his central command system.

37. The greatest of economic progress has been achieved under a freer political system and not under centralized control.

38. Hence, there is an economic reason to oppose Dr mahathirs umbrella arrangement.

38(b). Which brings us to the issue of believing that unity of Malay supremacists will lead to economic progress .

39. That belief is a load of BS. Economic progress is the result of studying hard, working hard, cooperating with other economic agents. Most of all creating a political system of freer market economics.

40. Dr mahathirs umbrella idea is to create a solitary and insular organisation which does nothing but faults non malays for the shortcomings of malays. Do we want to live under such regime?

41. UMNO of course does not want to join Dr mahathirs group. Because it believes only it nonoplises the narrative of what ails the malays. Dr mahathirs umbrella arrangement challenges umnos monopoly. So , it comes out with 1001 silly reasons to spurn Dr Mahathir .

42. Many of us do not believe in UMNO just as much as we don't believe Mahathir.

The UPSI bus tragedy and the ensuing xenophobic racial slurs( the transport minister is from Malaysia not China). Contrarian essays no 9

1. The bus accident involving the death and I jury to 15 upsi students was a tragedy.

2. To the berieved family we can only offer our heartfelt condolences. No amount of words can compensate their loss. Our condolences.

3. To those injured, we pray they will recover quickly.

4. There's another aspect we want to talk about. Many Malaysians are shocked at the many overtly racist comments hurled at Anthony loke, the transport minister.

5. Like is a Chinese. Many think they are entitled to berate him and throw all kind of insults. Which is not fair and betray the commentators racial bigotry.

6. Some even called for his resignation. Believing that in making that call, they champion the Malay race.

7. We wonder, if the transport minister were a Malay, will these people throw insults and venom on such a minister?

8. Probably no. We will offer palliatives. These people wi probably ask the Malay minister to improve things. They will probably also say, the accident was God's will

9. That's a load of shit. These people are prime candidates as members of Dr mahathirs hole riddled umbrella.

10. The insults are a product of sour grapes mentality dressed in hate ideology.

11. Sour grapes because these idiots wished the transport minister is a Malay.

12. Entitlement and xenophobic racism are values taught by UMNO during their 60 year plus rule .

13. It's convenient and an opportunity to apportion blame to Anthony loke because he is Chinese. Being a Chinese, these people think there is something sinister behind his motives.

14. The truth is, Anthony loke is an intelligent and hardworking minister outperforming Malay ministers who are just paperweights.

15. What if the people actually responsible for the tragic accident are Malay? Would the criticisms be very strident as now?

16. The driver is Malay, the owner is most likely Malay and the operator of the bus transport, who is from Kelantan is likely Malay. So how?

17. The driver is probably a speed demon driving at the time under the influence of ketum, drugs or alcoholic beverages.

18. He was reported to have overtaken another vehicle at whirlwind speed when he lost control. He blamed failing brakes.

19. Check on him and charge him for manslaughter if necessary.

20. Since the brakes failed, this means there is no proper maintenance. Or do we want loke to don overalls and becomes a mechanic checking the brakes and engine? Ah loke workshop. Ask him to moonlight as one.

21. The story of the permit holder to operate the bus and the actual operator of the bus is an interesting story. Fasten your seatbelts, ya akhi.

22. The permit holder to operate the bus is a kedahan. Nowadays we can safely assume that people who are given permits are malays. There is a 95% chance that the permit holder is Malay. Loke should have more information to share, if asked .

23. But to lord it over, he farms out the permit to a kelantanese, probably another Malay

24. A racial centric permit holder surely would want to rent out the permit to another racial centric person. A Malay to another Malay .

25. This business of asking for permits and renting the out, is the typical behavior of UMNO layabouts.

26. The types who sit at coffee shops all day long and talk politics. Then they get to the UMNO general assembly where they talk Malay this and Malay that .

27. The permit holder is a rent seeker while the actual operator is a comprador rent seeker .

28. For just being rent seekers, these people should be condemned by netizens instead of Anthony loke.

29. The operator is vicariously liable for the deaths and injury to the upsi students. Because it's he who employed the speed demon.

30. So condemn him. Crucify him. Revoking the permit is one thing. Slap the operator with a stop work order for 3 months. He can sit at the warungs consuming budu cap bunga Ros.

31. I hate talking about this issue from a racial perspective. But most of the netizens are overdoing it by irrationally condemning Anthony like just because he is a Chinese minister. So do your worse, I'll do my best to debunk you all.

32. Stop your lies and I will stop telling the truth.

33. The truth some of you people don't want to hear are:- Anthony loke doesn't need defending from anyone including me and the other truth is, many of who think we are Malaysians first, find the racist slurs, obnoxious.

Additional notes on EPFs fiscal misadventures. Contrarian essays no 8.

1. When I wrote the article on the sale of the EPF hospitals, a friend wrote back immediately.

2. To tell that I have omitted a few important points .

3. What if the 2nd fund manager is also composed of mediocre qualified people and are equally dishonest?

4. The characters in the 2nd fund manager will also sapu the money as in the 1st fund manager.

5. It will be a situation of exit the mouth of the tiger, enter the mouth of the crocodile.

6. The squeezing of EPF money is happening in an enabling environment where the culture of corruption is rampant. That has reached a horrifying level .

7. The 2nd fund manager will sapu alongside the first supported by the anti suap agency, the pliant and syoksendiri newsportals, the money laundering moneychangers, the Foodpanda escort services, the kopi O procutors and the hakims secretly harboring fascist values ( they cannot tolerate criticisms).

8. The reactionary ecclesiastical warlord will say, dakpe tu sedekah awang wei.

9. The apologist in chief will say, reform takes time. We will ask a favorite question. During your time, what do you do?

10. Talking about sedekah, didn't the prophet of Islam says, the hands on top are superior than the hands below?

11. Translated in modern times , to mean the hands that taketh are morally inferior.

12. What do we do with these moral degenerates? Idolize, hero worship or glorify them?

13. UMNO people seem to do rhat- idolize and glorify them. Call them bossku. The messiah sent to save the Malay. The toothless makciks and pakciks spend days from home to give immoral support to bossku .

14. In the Muslim holy book, the Quran says that Allah/God punishes the tribes of Israel through nabi Daud and Isa.

15. Because the defy God, kufur. When they see their brethren committing sins and doing all sorts of moral transgressions such as corruption, the kept quite and stood idly by. They condoned them. See al maidah 78-79.

16. It's hubris and pride, that prevent the Malay from speaking out against transgressions and do not prevent the sins. If God curses the tribes of Israel, God can do the same to the Malay who defy God.

17. Sure, glorify the thieves and robbers, God's curses will rein upon you. Idolize bossku and the thieves at EPF, you will be cursed.

18. In the same breath, I am not at all impressed with the showboating and pompous rants to weed out corruption and people who sakau.

19. Action speaks louder than words. Doing is a different thing. Talk is cheap.

20. Almost always, people behind the showboating character end up doing the same thing disdained about.

21. They become what Frantz fanon warned us. The oppressor becomes the oppressed, the robbed becomes the robber.

22. Make it widely publicised that EPF will produce its financial yearbook purchasable by the public. We will be surprised that members of the public are highly intelligent people. They can come out with povs, some complimentary but mostly critical. They can be more intelligent than MPs.

23. Make the books public and invite condemnation and disdain on transgressions.

Hospitals for sale in the fish and chips imperialist country. Contrarian essays no 7

1. Somehow news like this get leaked. You can't cover the carcass of an elephant with puny leaves .

2. It's reported that EPF is to sell 100% of its interest in 12 hospital in the fish and chips country.n

3. How much was the initial capital outlay? During it's ownership for the time being , what's the operating cost?

4. Who calculated the feasability of the project? It's do-ability?

5. Who were in the team approving the project. Obviously people from the EPF. People from the MOF maybe because they must eventually okayed the deal. Reps from kkm as they are experts in hospitals .

6. Before inking the deal, these people must have traveled to the UK countless number of times. Let me be blunt- maybe some fucked some fat and ugly English asses.

7. Hey brother, relax la. They are Malays. They are entitled to such indiscretions.

8. To that, I am putting up my 2 fingers. Some like 3 fingers. In rare cases , some like fisting .

9. Just because they are Malay does not mean they deserve my unqualified allegiance and loyalty.

10. The Malay deserving my respect, allegiance and loyalty are those who are honest, hardworking, intelligent and morally superior.

11. Why do I say morally Superior? Because didn't the prophet of Islam says, in conjunction to giving sedekah, the the hands that giveth/on top are superior?

12. For general application then, the hands that taketh are morality inferior.

13. Now tell me, do these kind of Malay, deserve my unqualified allegiance and loyalty?

14. The present fire sale price ( let's hope it's not) , does it cover the initial total cost?

15. Who determined the beginning and ending prices. Screen them for corruption. Not because we don't trust them, but it pays to be careful with public money.

16. The begining cost was justified on many reasons, we are sure the present sale price, even if below market price will be regarded as the best price we can get.

17. If those who decided on the prices are malays, there's a 95% chance they are on the take.

18. Not because they are inherently dishonest and corrupt, I am only using the not easily disputable logic of the late tun hanif omar.

19. When asked why 95% of those arrested as communist sympathisers are Chinese , he answered that because 95%of communists are actually Chinese, there's a 95% chance that a sympathiser is Chinese.

20. Following the same logic, if 95% of those caught and actually found guilty of corruption is Malay, then there is a 95% chance that a Malay in authority is corrupt. Logic kan?

21. I have long regarded the following 2 things as extremely important for our country.

22. First, a government fund manager, backed by law like the EPF should have a second competitor. Government instituted and backed by law.

23. Then these 2 fund managers will compete to give the best return for their savings.

24. Isn't it true, if they must save in accordance to the law, then the law ought to also protect them to get the best return.

25. Secondly, appointment of money above a certain threshold must be subject to a second oversight party .

26. The appointment of say 1b should be brought before parliament and debated thoroughly.

27. We don't cases of you come before the pm, kneel down, cry and wail, you get the money.

28. We just cannot trust the judgement call of 1 person when it comes to taxpayers money.

Cracks leading to split or retak membawa belah. Contrarian essays no 6

1. When t zafrul was the finance minister,in one of his speeches in parliament,he said , we are solving this problem in a holistic manner. As a economist, I said to myself,wtf is he talking about?

2. He must have learnt this term from an Ayurvedic practitioner or from Ah Beng health centre.

3. Obviously, he is not a good communicator. He was unable to make himself clearer or worse, he didn't know the subject matter he wants to talk about .

4. In other words, he's not a big deal. Even UMNO doesn't want to talk about the quality of his work other than screaming about how an ingrate he is .

5. Or that if PKR accepts the turncoat, it will create bad feelings.

6. But creating a myth about zafrul is necessary to 'crowd out' the damaging effects of Rafizis resignation.

7. A red herring is required to distract attention from the I'll effects of Rafizis bombshell.

8. What better way that to mythify zafrul in the hope, it can eclipse the Rafizi issue.

9. Anwar gave the hint. He says zafrul delivers. Followed dutifully by staments from the mucus-dripping from the nose AMK leader that zafrul has got merits .

10. To justify the eventual entry of zafrul into the wombs of PKR, but more calculated to eclipse the damage Rafizi has caused PKR.

11. In truth , the majority of PKR people do not see anything extraordinary things that are brought in by zafrul .

12. What extraordinary things can be brought in by zafrul when he is known to not convene a meeting for a full year when he was head of an UMNO division?

13. There is no value added brought in by zafrul into PKR.what he delivers and assumed value added are all exaggerated to eclipse Rafizis substantive contributions to PKR.

14. PKR is fast becoming a dumping ground for bourgeois rejects. Nurulizzah and gang has much to re educate these elements.

15. This has exposed the shallowness of PKR composition after all. Many joined PKR without knowing the philosophy of reformasi actually. It's just a chorus shout screamed by the paramount leader . And followed religiously.

16. Rather than bringing stability and calmness within PKR, zafruls entry into PKR will bring in more disarray.

Reformasi vs Reformasi. Contrarian essays no 5.

1. The writings are on the wall. Rafizi will eventually leave PKR. Not because he wants to but PKR, especially the revisionists will treat him as the enemy

2. The people who won, have the UMNO mentality. If you are not with us, you are against us kind of thinking.

3. We will see that people appointed by Anwar as ministers or to positions of some power are politically immature and wet behind the ears.

4. When they hear of Rafizi talking consistently about reformasi lost and about many issues hitherto hidden from us, they will react in knee jerk fashion.

5. They will mistakenly regard what Rafizi raises as attacks on PKR. That's what politically immature people do.

6. As the attacks become more strident and virulent, Rafizi will find the PKR set-up as hostile. Then the logical choice for him.and his gang is to leave PKR.

7. I have not even finished this article, nik nazmi had to come out with a statement that Rafizi and he resigned their ministerial posts not leaving the party. This meant the political immatures have begun their onslaughts.stupid jerks !

8. Anwar Ibrahim must contain these eager beaver political immatures from escalating the rot .

9. Rafizi too must rein in his troops. But the onus is more on Anwar Ibrahim as it's his camp that wants Rafizi to stay put .

10. My reading is ,it will come to a push comes to shove situation. Rafizi will leave PKR or cause himself to be expelled.

11. He won't be joining the bourgeois parties like UMNO, pas, bersatu etc. He will bide his time and form his own party .

12. He will then openly compete to be called a 'revolutionary' reformasi party as opposed to anwars watered down reformasi party .

13. It's revolutionary vs. revisionist reformasi party

14. Anwars people will ferociously object to their party being described as revisionist or watered down.

15. Nurulizzah for instance will insist that their reformasi is not dead. But her assertion and theirs does not matter. The people's perception does. And to the public, reformasi is kaput.

16. Butchered as it were, by the many promises Anwar made but not kept.

17. I don't want to repeat myself silly by mentioning the factors determining anwars political longevity. You can read about that in my earlier articles.

18. One indicator of a revisionist party with watered down reformasi, is its readiness and willingness to talk to bourgeois parties and bourgeois elements.

19. It is difficult for many us to believe that the bourgeois element, zafrul leaving UMNO and joining PKR to be a mere coincidence.

20. There must have been some serious pow wow between anwars PKR and the bourgeois of the hour .

21. If you don't already know but now you know, this reflects anwars penchant to wheel and deal. Specifically in making secret deals .

22. I am not going to fault Anwar on this and regard him as a bad person. He's being an effective politician in the Machiavellian sense.

23. Except then,it's not open for him to say others acting unscrupulous,if they act the same way.

24. If wheeling and dealing is part of anwars persona, it's not impossible for PKR to talk to a bourgeois party like Bersatu.

25. Why not? It's a practical and pragmatic choice. Bersatu has more seats than UMNO. If UMNO doesn't like it and feel strongly about it,it can opt to voluntarily leave.

26. UMNO that does not have power will fade into oblivion. Then we can see if UMNO is experiencing a resurgence as claimed by the pontian gnome.

27. For convenience and pragmatic reasons, it would be more prudent to wheel and deal with bersatu.

28. Send UMNO to pasture. We will quickly see that UMNO with no posts and power is nothing. If it shouts its xenophobic nationalism and its fascist religion and pompous loyalty to King, it will gain no traction at all. Try see.

29. The spanner in the works is Rafizi. What if he actually leaves PKR. Forms a new rival party?

30. Then it will be revolutionary reformasi vs watered down reformasi. True reformasi vs false reformasi. Revolutionary vs revisionist, counter and reactionary reformasi.

31. It will be extremely difficult for nurulizzahs reformasi to compete against Rafizis reformasi. As it is, nurulizzah is struggling to insist reformasi is still alive. They will say, we have found the enemy and the enemy is us.

32. If this happens, have we asked where will the OG partners of PHs allegiance go to? Amanah and DAPs?

The Saifuddin comedy show and other issues. Contrarian essays no 4.

1. The easily moved among us shed tears when Saifuddin said he fears PKR will lose Rafizi.

2. Nobody believed him then and now. It's part of the drama concealing many things.

3. It's an admission of guilt. He knew of the inevitable outcome. He knew of the PKR revisionists ganging up to kill off Rafizi.

4. So, as a loyal foot soldier, he faked expressing grief to mollify rafizis people .

5. When he said he fears losing Rafizi, he's saying the literal truth. Rafizi will eventually leave PKR and leave it to its devices

6. The relationship between revolutionary reformasi and watered down reformasi is untenable. Sooner or later, Rafizi has to decouple himself from a revisionist PKR.

7. When he says that he will speak out of anwars duty to the party, that was just a show .

8. Would anyone believe that a person who owes much of his political fortunes to Anwar would bite the hands of a person who feeds him? Come man, credit us with some intelligence.

9. The drama which Saifuddin puts up is part of a bigger drama to diffuse the anger of Rafizis people.

10. I hope Rafizi is perceptive enough to recognize the sham. He knows these people better.

11. An astute observer will notice much of Rafizis body language at the PKR congress .

12. When Rafizi shook the hands of Anwar limply and walked past the latter nonchalantly, Anwar was only able to respond with a wry smile and bemused look .

13. At that time saudara Rafizi already knew of the inevitable outcome of the contest. More importantly, he knew Anwar orchestrated the whole thing.

14. But don't see Anwar as a bad person. He's using all the deception and underhanded tactics and use of the dark arts of subterfuge to win. He's acting Machiavellian.

15. For the moment, Anwar wins but don't count out Rafizi yet. It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

Sour grapes mentality and umnos fascism. Contrarian essays no 3

1. I am not interested nor do I know the beef between poad sumbing and nurulizzah..In general, it's the inherent animosity of UMNO apparatchik has against the party that UMNO lost to. UMNO has to play 2nd fiddle to PKR and that is soul biting.

2. People like poad can't carry that much animosity in their chest without finding any excuses to vent it out.

3. In this case in what he regarded as drama and hypocrisy nurulizzah has towards saudara Rafizi.

4. It's just sour grape mentality engined by umnos Malay fascism.

5. People like poad or any other donkeys in UMNO can never achieved Rafizis reputation, that he must belittle that reputation.

6. It must have given him a measure of lip licking satisfaction.

7. Whether or not Rafizi deserves such public approbation, is not for fuad zarkashi to decide.

8. So his outburst is an envious outpouring from him. It's also a reflection of the fear of the ' revolutionary' messages that a person like Rafizi brings. They can lead to the increasing irrelevance of UMNO.

9. For decades, Malays have been taught that the way forward is to maintain a quarrelsome and hostile relationship with non malays.

10. Imagine if that is taken away. People opt for Harmony, tolerance and inclusiveness, UMNO will not be able to champion that bellicosity. That would make UMNOs role irrelevant, wouldn't it?

11. And for decades, malays have been taught also that the way forward is to confer upon themselves as many special privileges as possible and to protect these privileges by legislative constructs.

12. Imagine also that these are eventually removed. Isn't it horrifying to UMNO?

13. So a relic person like fuad z, decides that the best defense against dangerous messages a person like Rafizi brings, is offense. Attack him by using a borrowed knife.

14. UMNO actually represents chains that hold back malays. By breaking from UMNO , malays lose nothing but the chains.
