Reformasi, Revisionist and counter reformasi

1. Reformasi or revolusi is the same to me . It means total change

2. It's the overthrow of the old political system and culture.

3. One is achieved through the ballot box, the other through the barrel of the gun. Thats the basic difference.

4. As one current policy strategist says, change or more of the same

5. That's James carville. If you don't know who he is, I can't help you . Sorry .

6. Reformasi is not like going to a dinner party, doing crochet, eating pasembuk or eating nasi kandaq at nasi kandaq beratoq.

7. It cannot be so refined, so leisurely, genteelly , so temperate.

8 . It must be done with surgical precision, rapier sharp excise and at road runner speed

9. The speed by which it's carried out is always frustrated by the apologists, the faint hearted, the revisionists

10. The revisionists will accuse those not happy at the pace of reformasi, as being liabilities to the country .

11. They parrot the tired phrase, reformasi takes time.

12. It must be done like pulling hair from the flour.

13. Let's begin with a systematic and piston like overthrow of the old political system and culture

14. The old political system and culture put in place by xenophobic UMNO.

15.lets begin by shattering some myths. The first , was the creation of the NEP. Really it's the institutionalization of affirmative policies.

16. The chief architect of the NEP was the great Tun Razak, a Fabian socialist.

17. In effect, the policies he put up, were the manifestation of liberal bourgeois empathies for the have nots and the lumpenproletariat

18. The quid pro quo was the lumpenproletariat and the hoi poloi reciprocate by giving total obedience to UMNO.

19. The ones who came after tun Razak, vulgarized the NEP by transforming the affirmative policies into economic hegemonism and crony capitalism and plunder.

20. The latter took place especially during the administration of Dr Hans Mengele Mahathir culminating in the pillage by a particular kleptocrat in chief.

21. It's a case of the teacher urinating while standing, the pupil pisses off while running.

22. The NEP and it's self serving excesses applied and interpreted by over zealous technocrats, should have ended in 1990.

23. Instead it metamorphosed into a more masculine NDP or whatever, a tool of economic pillaging dreamt of by political crooks and implemented by bureaucratic lackeys

24. The reward system in the policies are wrong. You reward the economically incompetents, give posts to mediocre talents, give college placements to academically inferior material, all under the excuse of making good all handicaps.

25. If a non Malay especially a Chinese were to say this, you will respond by saying the Chinese naturally have sinister motives towards the Malays, they are communists and worse, DAPigs.

26. Now a Malay is saying these because he thinks the retention of the NEP is unconscionable and has expired its shelf life.

27. The NEP especially the affirmative policies, euphemistically called positive discrimination policies are destroying us- out self esteem, our competitiveness, our reliance on our intrinsic abilities.

27b. This is not a Malay influenced by Marxian writings talking, ya .

28. This is a Malay who wants to see the removal of all political and economic fetters to political and economic freedom removed, one by one until none exists

29. This is a Malay more inclined by the libertarian not liberal yes, writings of von mises , Hayek and the public intellectual of all public intellectuals, Milton Friedman.

30. They believed as many of us do, that the only economic system that promotes and fertilizes political and economic freedom is free market.

31. Here, the Malay thinker most associated with free market system is probably Zaaba.

32. Professor ungku Aziz would probably be determined and systematically unravel the knot of erroneous economic thinking.

33. My first target for reformasi is the ending of the NEP.

34. I will explain in the next part of this article.

35. Sure, many of you will disagree with me- the Malay supremacists, the neo feudalists, the brainwashed hoi polloi, neurotic UMNO, to that I have no issue

36. Let's sell our ideas

36b. My opinion is important to me. I reserve the right to have it defended against any majority views and convention.

Mereka yang saudara kepadaku, marilah. 

Berikan aku lidah, aku mahu berkata kata, 

bagaikan laut yang menghempas pantai merdeka, 

sekian lama kita mati dalam setia, 

kali ini kita hidup dalam durhaka.
