The fatal conceit of the majority. Tyranny of the status quo. Devil's advocate series no. 65B

1. The basic premise on which UMNO prescribes ways for Malays to move forward or choose their way to economic salvation is wrong 

2. It is wrong because economic resources are Allocated Not On Rational Economic reasons but on political and racial reasons. 2b. Our country can be divided into 2 groups. The least productive group and the most productive group. 

3. 70% least productive group and 30% most productive group 

4. The way UMNO prescribes is to treat the 70% favourably 

5. Give them preferential treatment and protect them with affirmative policies 

6. The aim is to make the 70% believe that they absolutely need UMNO 

7 . Make use of race, religion and country. 

8. Some people say that's rule 11. 

9. Make malays believe they depend on UMNO . They are the dependants 

10. Meanwhile the 30% which may include 0.5% Malays are largely ignored 

11. Go look after yourselves, play with yourselves 

12. The different treatment should be abolished 

13. How can the 70% well looked after lacked behind while the ignored 30% prosper? 

14. The answer must be the 70% became wimpies while the 30% became resilient and robust 

15. But because they are 70%, they behaved badly, arrogantly and in totalitarian ways . 

16. They imposed their values on the country . 

17. As a result the country takes on the characteristics of the 30%. 

18. Less productive, unwilling to compete, no competence and no skills set . 

19. How can that be of a superior race? 

20. The race claimed by screws loose prof, to have taught Romans shipbuilding, inspired Egyptians pyramid building, inspired Chinese yee sang, taught Chinese how to fly, DNA older than Chinese and Indians? 

21. Where got road man? 

22. To add insult to injury, the least productive wants to guide the country how to develop economically . 

23. The point is how to make the least productive group into the most productive group? 

24. Certainly not by giving the 70% preferential treatment and protect them with affirmative policies. 

25. So the 1st step I will take is to remove all the structures giving preferential treatment and affirmative policies 

26. Its the cold turkey treatment on the 70% to force them to kick of the addiction to dependency 

27 . When in Italy I once asked my host, why isn't he using an automatic car? 28. He answered as a matter of factly, automatics are for handicaps 

29 . Getting rid of the culture of dependency is one of the lanes making UMNO irrelevant 

30 . Our way forward for all and economic salvation for malays is the Zaaba way or Zaabanomics 

31. Develop a compendium of competencies and skills set and compete freely on a level playing field. 

32. From each according to his ability to each according to his contribution. 

32b . The reward system must also be right musn't it? 

33. These ways wouldn't make the 70% behave despicably would they?

NB. Fatal conceit is the title to F. Hayek and tyranny of the status quo is a book by Friedman. This is an English version of article no. 65

UMNO will meet its Waterloo. Devil's advocate series 67.

1. Pity MCA.its irrelevant in Johor elections and pretty much anywhere as well

2. Onn Hafiz has to fight for it's relevance and survival

3. It's a party that has no resonance with the Chinese community

4. But UMNO needs its useful idiot and uncle tan(tom). UMNO is Harriet Beecher.

5. UMNO candidates have never contested against DAP candidate

6. It's always have been MCA slaughter beasts.

7. So Onn is actually speaking for emasculate and effeminate MCA

8. UMNO confirms MCA will be annihilated in Johor elections

9. Why then is UMNO siding with a loser? Because it will be one soon.

10. MCA will always be a two bit player to UMNO's patronizing ways

11. Do the proud Chinese want to be represented by a party that has no amour propre?

12. DAP will always be the party of choice for the Chinese because it allows the Chinese to be real Chinese

13. MCA manufactures uncle Tom Chinese like the famous preacher and the prof who speaks out against UEC.

14. As to onn talking mean about DAP, regard that as playing on the sentiments of the Malays.

15. Nothing riles them up other than making them believed that will be overwhelmed by the Chinese.

16. Suddenly Onn finds support from Malays not as solid as he thinks.

17. He may get support from the old guards and redneck Malays but their number is fading.

18. The baby boomers , millennials, the gen z and the k pop generation' s feelings toward UMNO,the Malay supremacist party,are lukewarm

19. Onn may well find the Johor elections to be his Waterloo.

20. The story about Malays being overwhelmed by Chinese is a big lie anyway

21. DAP is contesting in 17 areas whose population are Chinese or Malay votes don't count

22. By now, everyone knows UMNO is a bloody snake, the black mamba of Malaysian politics.

23. UMNO wants to rule alone where it thinks it's strong, elsewhere it's not dominant it wants to share.

24. You call that behavior unscrupulous, unethical. It's duplicitous and a weathervane political party

25. I would tell Anthony loke not to wrestle with a pig, lest you get splattered with mud all over.

26. UMNO has bitten more that it can chew. It has to contend with PH, pas, bersatu and the enfant terrible, Bersama.

27. It will drown it its own vomit .

28. As to whether Anwar said no clash, I think it was journalistic misreporting by UMNO cyber terrorists.

The hard truth: UMNO is a liability to Malays. All is fair in love and war. Demonise UMNO .Devil's advocate series 66.

1. I planned to write an English version of the above article. That has to wait

2. There are reports carried out by the sosmed that Anwar told pH people not to clash with UMNO/BN

3. Not sure whether what he said was taken out context but the public like me read only the headlines

4. The headlines say don't clash with BN

5. That kind of ' decree'is likely to cause confusion among the ranks.

6. How not to clash when the Onn fellow with the blessings of wak J has announced, BN will contest all 56 seats.

7. To avoid clash, PH might as well packed it's bags.

8. Let me give a more graphic description

9. It's like asking PH to spread her legs and enjoy the violation by BN fart faces

10. We expect Anwar to be our Patton, Napoleon, field marshal Walter Model or an Erwin Rommel leading his troops un-yieldingly into battle.

11. Which can 8nly lead us to speculate as to why Anwar said what he was reported to have said.

12. Could he be intimidated by UMNO and wak J?

13. Could his instructions to PH be also an instruction to UMNO to behave the same?

14. Cocky UMNO is unlikely do the same , so Anwars response should be defiantly warlike

15. Just announce that PH will contest all seats in Johor, N9 and cincalok state. And it intends to go solo, no negotiations and in war there are no niceties.

16. And there's still time for Anwar to place a spanner in the works. A really big monkey wrench.

17. The AGC has uncovered new set of evidence that can convict wak 47.

18. Remove all UMNO appointees in GLCs and remove all UMNO appointees as ketua kampungs

19. It's better to be feared than loved if you can't be both.

20. Then go into elections

21. I don't understand Anwars refusal to see UMNO as the black mamba of Malaysian politics.

22. UMNO is the black mamba waiting to strike Anwar and Anwar is playing up to UMNO?

23. UMNO is always trying to regain power by any means necessary

24. By any means the is a phrase I learned from reading Malcolm X.

25. It means UMNO will use all vile and unscrupulous means to take back power

26. It's now hunting with the hounds and running with the hare

27. In Johor it wants to rule alone but in N9 it's opened to work with PH.

28. The interpretation of that duplicitous behavior explains UMNO's chicanery.

29. Now Onn fellow is saying he won't share power with DAP. It also means not sharing with PKR and AMANAH

30. I have repeatedly said when UMNO goes into battle, it's always preceded by braggadocios and fighting talk

31. That is the Hallmark of a paper tiger and am empty vessel

32. In ge15, didn't UMNO smother the country with the same trash talk? In the end it has to prostitute itself to PH

33. Onn Hafiz is doing the same trash talking as UMNO HQ was doing in ge15

34. Perhaps it is the harbinger to UMNO Johor as happened to UMNO HQ in ge15

35. As to wak J sitting next to Seremban like at cabinet meetings, a prostitute does what a prostitute does

36. Yet there is a bozo who keeps repeating the lie of the existent of an UMDAP.

37. What is that? Something you wiped off from your boots when walking in the gutter?

38. It's a preemptive excuse made to rationalize the upcoming loss of UMNO

39. Also it's a cheap trick to rile up redneck Malays.

40. It's always the aim of Malay supremacists to make Malaysia a Malay enclave.

41. UMNO is the quintessential Malay supremacist party which deserves to be dustbined in the trash of history.

42. It will always be, it's a fatal mistake to invite the enemy to share political power with you.

Lagak melayu. Devil's advocate series 65.

1. Dasar asas kita Salah.

6. Klu ia memerlukan economic predation, biarkan lah saja untuk orang melayu kan .

7. Bangsa kita akan jahanam bila reject rules based system. That is why UMNO's answers to the way forward untuk bangsa melayu , adalah salah .

8. The way forward ialah dengan mengangkat golongan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif menjadi golongan terprodaktif .

9. Bukan mengekalkan mereka sebagai golongan terpaling tidak prodaktif dengan memberi mereka layanan istimewa atau preferential treatment serta melindungi mereka dgn berbagai dasar2 affirmative.

10. Maka langkah pertama kalu saya lah buat ialah perlahan lahan dismantle segala institution yang mengamalkan layanan istimewa atau preferential treatment and affirmative policies.

11. Saya mahu lihat siapa pemimpin melayu yang berani mengkoreksi keadaan tidak adil ini.

12. Jika tidak, saya anggap semua mereka berwatakan bourgeois bertopengkan berbagai guises.

17. Melayu yang diseru bersatu ialah melayu UMNO , pas serta Bersatu

19. Ternyata yang menyeru tersebut adalah antek UMNO .

Aku akan pergi
Dengan seribu jebat si anak tani
Sekian lama kita hidup dalam setia
Kali ini kita hidup dalam durhaka.

21. Untuk mahu, orang melayu mesti ada sikap berontak serta sceptical.

22. Jangan asal tengok orang yang menyeru pakai songkok serta kopiah,kita longlai serta ikut babi buta.

23. Strategy membiarkan golongan yang terpaling production tapi memanjakan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif, adalah strategy salah

24. Ia akan menyebabkan Negara keseluruhan kurang prodaktif serta kompetitif.

25. Sebab nya golongan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif menentukan rentak ekonomi.

26. Golongan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif bermentaliti ketam dalam bakul.

27. Ketam yang nak keluar dari bakul akan ditarik kedalam oleh ketam lain

28. Keadaan kita seakan akan kera di hutan di susukan, anak di rumah mati kehausan

29. Tinggal lagi keadaan nya terbalik. Anak yang di rumah itu kera, kera dalam hutan itu anak.

30. Berkali kali saya kata, jalan keselamatan orang melayu ialah the Zaaba way

31. Develop intrinsic competencies compete on a level playing field.

Baru kikir jambotan bosi
Masak gulai sebelango

9. Tapi perkara2 ini di ucap oleh orang melayu.

10. Tak boleh la kata, kamu apek mana faham jiwa melayu .

11. Dengan sendiri nya, ini membuktikan bahawa bangsa melayu itu bukan homogeneous group.

12. Mereka terdiri dari pelbagai kelompok yang mempunyai anutan politik yang berbeza

13. Jika Malaysia terdiri dari orang melayu serta diperintah oleh melayu, pasti ada kelompok melayu yang menentang.

14. Perkara2 dalam para 6 dan 7,dipupuk serta dibajai oleh umno

15. Nilai2 yang dipupuk dan dibajai oleh UMNOlah yang merosakkan jati diri melayu

17. Lapuran bank Dunia 2023 muncul dengan oberservasi ini

The economic time bomb of Malaysia. Devil's advocate series 63.

1. Let me say this with brutal frankness. Unapologetic.

2. Our national productivity and competitiveness are being brought down by the Malays, especially those infused by UMNO values

3. Yes by the people claimed by some people to have taught Romans shipbuilding,inspired Egyptians about pyramids, taught Chinese how to fly, taught Chinese yee sang and whose DNA it is claimed to be older than the Chinese and indians.

4. Yet this superman race excels in low productivity at home.

5. This dear readers is the time bomb for Malaysia.

6. You think I am talking cock? See and read this

7. According to world bank report of 2023, the productivity of the chinese was well above the national and their contribution to GDP was higher. I suspect they pay more taxes too.

8. During the same time Malays who make up almost 70% of the present population have a proclivity index well below the national average

9. The conclusion is unmistakably clear. The national average is brought down by the Malays. I am not going to sanitize the group by terming it as low productivity group

10. I must quickly say the Malays are not stupid lazy or a laggard.

11. They have been infused by the wrong values to go forward. The party responsible for holding Malays back is the 1988 UMNO.

12. It is essential for Malays to disavow it. You have the chance to do it in Johor and N9.

13. Our population structure is in a gridlock. It's straight jacket for non malays but free mobility for low productivity group.

14. Malays excel in animalistic pursuits. Excel in song and dance concerts. Life is all about concert.

15. According to the 2023 report , the productivity of the Chinese was double the national average. Malays who formed almost 70% of the population had a productivity index of around 40%

16. That ought to be national shame rather than demo and shouting bellicose rants and shrieking jingoistic noises.

17. For our country to progress, the high productivity group should be the driving force not mollycoddling the low productivity group, harsh it may sound.

18. The truth is about 70% of our country's economy depend on the higher productive group and we are suppressing them

19. I am not asking my fellow Malays to kiss the ass of the Chinese but let not our dislike for them stop us from being fair.

20. The most productive is being suppressed, the least so run the country

21. And the least productive tells us how the economy of this country should be run. Niamah!

22. In some countries, the ablest run the country, the more talented are honoured

23. In our country, the mediocre and the ones who cannot be criticized run the country

24. In fact we pride ourselves in electing and choosing the corrupt and even has as DPM wak47 . At least the Kalashnikov 47 has its use

25. And here is another inconvenient truth. The most productive doesn't have affirmative policies and prefential treatment

26. It's like Thomas Sowell says. To the people accustomed to preferential treatment, equal treatment is discrimination and unfair.

27. On that score ,don't ever elect fuziah salleh for being on record saying Malaysia isn't ready for meritocracy.

28. And she prides herself for being in PKR which prides itself as a reformasi party .

29. Let all be clear where I am coming from. I am all for free market economics. One subset to free market economics is unfettered and unclogged building of our talent pool .

30. That is why I have consistently opposed opposition to UEC for unnecessarily clogging useful talent for Malaysia. And curtailing competition

31. Not supporting UEC because I have a crush on the Chinese or besotted of them .

32. To me, this population regression, this gridlock is the economic time bomb ticking!

The real economic time bomb of Malaysia. Part 1. Devil's advocate series 61.

1. I think it was circa 1978 I read 'Time Bombs in Malaysia'.

2. At that time I was a student at MU studying economics..I went on to do a master's degree in economics at the U of Manchester, UK.

3. Time Bombs was written by Lim kit Siang

4. I can't remember his position in the DAP then.

5. His was already a big name in DAP then . Along with names like chen man heng, karpal Singh, patto, lee lam thye, goh hock guan, fan yew teng and a name I seemed to readily recall, lee kaw.

6. But alongside the well-known name came a lot of notoriety

7. He was accused to be a Chinese chauvinist, a PAP puppet, a commie, anti all things Malay.

8. I can assure readers with absolute certainty, none of these are true.

9. How can a person accused of all these things be conferred the honorific title of Tan Sri?

10. His Time Bombs centred on 2 issues, as I interpret them now

11. First, on the unfair appointment of economic benefits and opportunities.

12. implemented by zealots and outright Malay supremacists.

13. That could lead to racial resentment which in turn can lead to political instability.

14. 2nd, the screw ups of the government caused by bad management and simply bad governance by mediocre and low quality talents.

15. That results in misrule , corruption, abuse of power etc.

16. At the height of the pig rearing issue,I chanced to read one comment from a Chinese fellow

17. It was both sobering and jolting.

18. It says the 65-75%(Malays) rule Malaysia. Then he added, the stupid,lazy and lagards rule Malaysia.

19. They then impose their tyrannical brand of rule . Because that is the weapon of choice of the lazy,stupid and the laggard

20. Now don't go slapping or spitting in the face of non malays for saying that to the malays

21. Accept that as a terrible indictment on the Malay. You don't respond by going physical on the non Malay. You calmly vow to debunk that perception .

22. Don't go around saying, hey apek, you are not Malay. Therefore you won't understand his longing to return to UMNO rule

23. That's the arrogance of the UMNO Malay unconsciously surfacing.

24. Hello UMNO idiot, it's a big mistake to think the Malay is 1 homogeneous bloc.

25. There is UMNO Malay, PAS Malay, PKR Malay, AMANAH Malay, DAP Malay and so on.

26. Meaning, if Malaysia were to be ruled entirely by Malays, there will be other Malay grouping opposing it.

27. Which brings me to the real time bomb of Malaysia.

28. Lim kit Siang'sTime Bombs was couched in the language and zeitgeist of the 1970s.

29. As a samdol economist I look at the issue from a different perspective. In terms of national productivity and competitiveness

30. The real time bomb is the regression, retrogression, dissolution of our population structure

31. Let me say it bluntly. National productivity and competitiveness is being brought down by the rule of the 60-65%.

32. It's a rule by economic kakistocracy as it were

33. Malays would have to think soberly about it.

The economic errors of the PM, part 4. Devil's advocate series 60.

1. The PM, to my mind has committed further economic errors 

2 . The much overhyped good governance, the perpetuation of monopolies, bail outs of inefficient companies and the populist whimsies of gratuitous income transfers. 

3. I actually see misgovernance in 2 notable examples 

4. Tax refund arrears and the spurious budget deficit 

5. If tax refund arrears is allowed to be 34 million, and we have no record of how much has been paid except for the unproven statement of the 2nd FM in parliament , the claim of good governance is hollow 

6. It implies slothness not good governance caused the tax refund arrears to balloon up to 34billion. 

7. If there had been good governance, tax refund arrears shouldn't have been in the region of 30 billion. 

8. It should have been managed to say 3 to 4 billion at close of accounting year. 

9. Ada butot ka, Mr Lim guanyin , Monash U accountant? 

10. If our tax refund arrears had been properly managed at 3 to 4 billion , that would have been our K-percent rule of tax refund arrears quantum 

11. I am not going to make you pusing kepala by discussing the K-percent rule of money growth, conceptualized by Milton Friedman. 

12. The badly governed tax refund arrears caused a spurious deficit on a false GDP. 

13. To my mind, the 4% deficit ( say it is 4%) is built on a false GDP 

14. It's a false GDP because the tax refund arrears is included as revenue earned , thereby inflating the GDP 

15. Let's say the false GDP is 30 trillion. The true or actual GDP is 20 trillion. 

16. It's going to be 4%of 30 trillion not 4%of 20 trillion. 

17. Now, that false deficit can hide a host of financial shenanigans. 

18. It can be used to provide soft loans to crony companies, bail out crony companies, fund stupid projects and opened the doors of corruption. 

19. So claims of good governance are hollow without meticulous policing and great care . 

20. The perpetuation of monopolies is the grossest form of government intervention in the free market economy. 

21. By not managing this, the PM has committed an error 

22. That will be discussed in the next article. 

23. Have a break, have a kit-kat.

8. Ada kita lihat orang melayu mati bergelimpangan? 

9. Ertinya, secara mutlaknya, orang melayu tidak memerlukan UMNO untuk hidup. 

10. Misalnya, saya melayu. Saya tidak memerlukan UMNO untuk mensertifikasikan saya orang melayu. Begitu juga dengan tuan2. 

11. UMNO hanyalah seekor harimau kertas. Yang mengkhayalkan hari2 kegemilangan nya yang telah hilang. 

12. Hari2 khayalan tersebut di gembar gemburkan oleh anjing2 ribaan UMNO di sosmed dan internet 

13. Naratif yang paling menjengkilkan kita ialah claim yang kata rakyat rindukan kembali nya UMNO ke pangkuan kuasa 

14. Cer beritahu teman, rakyat mana yang merindukan sang rembulan 

15. Katalah , UMNO ada 3 juta ahli. Tak semua gerenti sokong UMNO atas 1001sebab. Mungkin meluat tengok wajah wak J. 

16. Katalah , dalam keadaan sekarang, kebencian bukan kerinduan, UMNO dapat 1.5 juta nangoi2 yang sokong UMNO membabi buta kerana UMNO mainkan sentimen bangsa, agama serta tanah air(raja. 

17. Katalah pulà jumlah yang boleh mengundi ialah 70% dari population, yakni 21 juta orang 

18. Ertinya ada kira2 16 juta tolak UMNO. Atau lebih kurang, setiap 1 undi ke UMNO, ada 4 yang menolak. 

19. Maka teruskalah wok, claimlah bahawa rakyat mahu UMNO kembali.,...ke rahmatullah! 

20. Maka UMNO Johor masuk gelanggang bukan dengan keyakinan tapi dengan ancaman pupus. 

21. Bukannya Onn Hafiz tapi Onn habis! 

22. Ada orang lihat Onn mengistiharkan pembubaran DUN Johor? 23. Habis semua makhlul di rangkulnya 

24. Bangsa melayu, bangsa johor, Allah serta perkenan Tuanku Johor. 

25. Hello encik, Tuanku perkenankan pembubaran, bukannya perkenankan rakyat supaya sokong UMNO 

26. Tuanku itu, sultan kepada semua orang bukan sultan hanya pada orang UMNO. 

27. Allah pulà bukanya berada pihak UMNO je. God is not on the side of UMNO only 

28. Baik anta berjaga ya akhi Onn, kalu anta claim Allah berada pihak awak, anta akan di qunut nazilahkan oleh Ustaz pas! 

29. Maka biarlah keangkuhan serta kesombongan mendahului UMNO Johor dalam pertarungan 'Bila timbul cinta (untuk orang lain), pertarungan tidak berguna'. Ahmad + Daud normadiah. 

30. Orang akan lihat juga kerakusan UMNO mendapatkan kuasa. 

31. PRN ada tempoh 1 tahun lebih lagi. Tapi UMNO Johor nak juga. Kerana tamak serta haloba 

32. Kali ini saya kena setuju dengan lobakman, PRN Johor akan membawa malapetaka pada UMNO.

Johor elections: A chance to bury UMNO not to restore it. Part 1. Devil's advocate series 58.

1. The reasons for which you handed UMNO its most devastating defeat at the federal level are being played out in the dissolution of DUN Johor 

2. The arrogance, conceit, bellicose rants etc are there 

3. The very reasons we abhor and reject UMNO. 

4. The Johor state elections is preceded by the thuggish and bellicose rants, fighting talks, hate speech and so on. 

5. They underlie the preposterous claim by UMNO stooges(frisky women and men) that people longed for the return of UMNO 

6. Just who are the people who longed for the return of the prodigal party and the kleptocratic party? 

7. Maybe the 3 million UMNO members plus 2 million other servile people. Not 29 million other people. 

8. The social media is replete with adulatory praises from UMNO sycophants 

9. Did you hear and see what the Onn fellow does when pompously announcing the dissolution of the Johor assembly? 

10. He cites God, the sultan, race and bangsa Johor etc 

11. Giving the impression God is on UMNO's side and has the sultans consent 

12. God is on everybody's side and the ruler gave his consent on the dissolution of the Johor assembly. Not giving consent for the people to support UMNO. 

13. People despise UMNO and to the implied claim that God is on UMNO's side,it's fake and swashbuckling talk . 

14. If you asked Ramanan and fuzzy fuziah, they will say God is a PKR member! 

15. The people or rakyat the Onn feller is referring to must be the kong kali-kong people( group of monkeys) who in turn elect apes to the local Kong -ress(DUN) to talk themselves silly. 

16. Real people want intelligent people to represent them and the country. To articulate intelligently on matters of common interest to the rakyat and talk on important matters to the country. 

17. So if you don't want to be labelled as Kong kali Kong crowd, stay away from UMNO. Run! 

18. The UMNO stooges and lackeys are always dumbing down people, believing they can be herded into blindly supporting UMNO. Especially when race religion and king are mentioned. 

19..people may be quiet, but they are constantly evaluating, assessing and analysing the candidates 

20. They are not going after ape-ish looking people, looking and behaving as Stupids . 

21. The Johor elections is a chance for people to annihilate UMNO not restore it, to its lost glory days of free looting.

The errors of the PM, part 3. Devil's advocate series 57.

1. Another error the PM makes is his refusal or reluctance to gradually scale down central command economics institutions 

2. This is a belief that central command centres made up of politicians and bureaucratic can drive economic development. 

3. The concept was coined famously by American economist, Milton Friedman 

4. Our own obsession with command centres of economics, stems perhaps from the influence of Fabian socialism 

5. Tun Razak, our bapa pembangunan was greatly influenced by Fabian socialism. 

6. The beliefs of Fabian socialism maybe good and served it's functions in the 50s and 60s, but it never imagined it will grow into grotesque command centres controlled by bureaucratic brahmins. 

7. The beliefs of Fabian socialism run counter to the teachings of Adam Smith, the idea of free market economics. 

8. The ideas of Smith were expanded by people like von mises, Hayek and most famously by Milton Friedman. And countless other free market economic adherents . 

9. It's from each according to his ability and areas that interest him, to society what they want secured through price signals 

10. I am not going to use the term capitalism in lieu of free market economics 

11. That term carries much evil connotations, wrong most of the time . 

12. A group of people, the evil capitalists owned and controlled means of production 

13. The ordinary people, the proletariat have nothing to sell but their labour 

14. The proletariat are paid just enough for their upkeep but the value they created is very much more 

15. The evil capitalists appreciate the surplus value and this is the source of much exploitation 

16. The central command economic centres often drive the economy the wrong way. 

17. This is because they are driven by such factors as political expediencies and other policy factors. 

18. Not by price signals and therefore not,( economically) rational 

19. We can in fact call these central command economic centres as centres of economic irrationalities. 

20. These centres will need troops in the form of middle and lower ranking government officers to 'police', monitor and nursemaid the chosen economic activities 

21. This may lead to a big problem. Civil service corruption. 

21a. Upon retiring these people can buy 15-20 million houses at county heights kajang, taman tun or damasara heights. Houses with big land, high ' shilling ' and with 'water featured'. 

22. Economic actors respond to market signals not to directives from central command economic centres. They don't need EPUs or ICUs 

23. They have their own. Internal EPUs and ICUs. 

24. I am constantly amazed at the ingenuity of our petty traders such as restaurant operators 

25. They come out with novelty dishes and premises with good ambiance. 

26. Certainly they do not respond to the dictates of the central command centres but to free market signals. 

27. Like Friedman said, greater economic achievements are gotten when economic actors respond to free market signals 

28. The refusal and reluctance of the PM to scale down gradually the size of the central command economics, I believe is more due to ignorance and not giving much thought to this edifice from the previous UMNO regime. 

29. I see this as an an error on the part of the PM. 

30. May I suggest the PM reads ,von Mises, Hayek and Friedman?

The errors of the PM. Part 2. Devil's advocate series 56.

1. The biggest economic misstep is continuing the pick-and -choose-winners economic strategy. 

2. A cabal of crony carpetbeggars will be chosen to spearhead economic growth. Especially for the Malay economy. 

3. A number of people will be given contacts exclusive licences to carry out government business. 

4. A variant of voodoo economics, where it is hoped the economic prosperity so created will produce the desired trickle down effects. 

5. They have not produced that but more of drip down effects 

6. It's a situation like the Malay says, bagaikan enau dalam belukar melepaskan pucuk masing2. 

7. But as Robert Kuok says, the higher the tree top, the more violent the hail and wind you attract. 

8. People don't envy you are rich but they will start asking how did you get rich? 

9. And they will find out you get to be that because of government patronage, lots of it . 

10. We now have bestinet, NexG, monopolistic importer of beras impot, the man who rents out helicopters to the government when it's better for the government to buy and form a company of technicians, companies patronized by khazanah, the companies earmarked for IPOs, GLCs mollycoddled by the government and the list goes on. 

11. The pick and choose winners economic model is here to stay. 

12. This kind of economic strategy creates favorites and a coterie of crony carpetbeggars. 

13. Their prosperity will depend on continued government assists. 

14. The PM has got the basic building block bringing up the economy wrong 

15. Instead of democratizing the economy , he's elitizing the economy 

16. That's the UMNO way of bringing up the economy, especially Malay economy by creating an economic nobility, economic bangsawans. 

17. A variant of voodoo economics. 

18. If our dear PM perpetuates this economic way forward, where is the reformasi? 

19. Where? Where?

20. We must employ the Zaaba way. Build endogenous competencies compete freely on a level playing field.

The errors of the PM part 1. Devil's advocate 55

1. I'll try to show where I think the PM has erred. Like I said many times I don't want him a one hit wonder. 

2. Even though I see him as a pasembur raconteur, pretending to be irascible at times, I see him also as the man who could pull Malaysia together. 

3. That's more than I can say of the nincompoops surrounding him 

4. And God have mercy on us, when he gets into constipation or child giving birth mode when speaking to us 

5. His 1st political mistake which could lead to a nasty fall, as I see it, is to bring UMNO into the fold of the unity government n. 

6. I detect a bit of impatience perhaps a bit of over enthusiasm , typical of a man who walks with gait of a trotting dog. 

7. In a flurry fast and furious. Also chiefly because I can't keep up with such energetic pace . 

8. With a little bit of patience and circumspect, Anwar could have discussed more on the subject of coalition partners with Sarawak and Sabah based parties and pliable individuals in Malaya. 

9. That would ostracize UMNO completely and keep it out of the corridors of power 

10. Which is what UMNO wants- power by any means necessary. Even if it has to prostitute itself. 

11. UMNO where got moral scruples one, it has only its interests to look after . 

12. Bringing UMNO into the fold of the unity government has allowed UMNO to spread it's wings-giving it a respiratory machine as it were . 

13. UMNO obtained ministerial and deputy ministerial posts and opportunities to place UMNO appointees in various GLCS. 

14. Especially in GLCs dealing with the Malay heartland. 

15. MARA, Felda, Fecra, Risda and others have UMNO appointees.

16. That's tantamount to giving UMNO chances to cultivate Malay support which is its power base . 

17. Isn't that like PH shooting itself in the foot? 

18. With time remaining for the next GE, revoke the appointment of UMNO appointees and downsize the number of UMNO ministerial positions. 

19. With that, announce that PH will contest all seats solo in N9,fat Albert state and Johor. 

20. In a few weeks, UMNO will have it's PAU . We will hear the normal bragodocious , big and fighting talks. 

21. Let's see after the revoke and downsize, UMNO can still talk big. 

22. Or it's just a paper tiger a shell of it's previous self. 

23. It can only cover its deficiencies with big talks. 

24. I have said this many times, it bores you, but it is a fatal mistake to invite the enemy to share political power with you.

Bersama. The transitory and proletarian crowd. Devil's advocate series 54.

1. I want to talk about what I see and believe to be the chink in Bersama's armour.

2. The leadership is already solid and it will be augmented by other reputables soon.

3. Within a few weeks, it's membership has grown to thousands. It grows further

4. Already it says it will contest all 56 seats in Johor. Very likely will do so also in N9 and melaka.

5. It will contest in other states as it will have 'convincing' numbers.

6. I have mixed feelings about its membership drive though

7. At the moment, as reported its membership drive relies primarily on voluntary applications

8. People send in their applications to HQ, they get processed and approved

9. That passive membership drive will attract the transitory crowd, mostly middle class impatient to transition into the elite class

10. Bersama risks becoming an elite grouping of the. BMW, Volvo and Vellfire driving crowd .

11. The values shaped will be middle class and. Bourgeois.

12. To counter the edifying effects which the middle class brings, Bersama has to go on an active membership drive.

13. Go to malls, pasar malam, shops, gathering places,solicit members

14. Bersama for all except the chair throwing crowd

15. Unless of course, Bersama wants to remain as an elitist grouping

16. If it chooses to be a broad based political organization, Bersama will become a formidable force

17. It's unwise to belittle Bersama for it's present small. In history more often, the smaller force defeats the bigger one

18. At the battle of Badr, 313 Muslim troops defeated thousand of unbelievers.

19. Whether we like Rafizi and Nik or not, Bersama is a threat to ALL old school political parties.

Missing the trees for the woods. Devil's advocate series 53.

1. When PKR cyber troopers want to elevate Anwar to extraordinary status, please do so with some intellectual heft and coherence

2. Some of us , many even feel like throwing up when you people come up with single sentence monologues.

3. Since Anwar took over, our tax revenue is such, our investment is X and so on

4. If I were to make an analogy to a car, this is what we get

5. You have explained the camshaft, cylinder head , spark plug , timing belt etc

6. You have not explained to us the engine block and piston.

7. You have discussed the Opex not the Capex .

8. By doing so, you haven't Showed us Anwar as a reformer but only as a jobber .

9. Doing so you are building on the inconsequentials and building a cultish figure.

10. Why don't you discuss the engine block and piston?

11. What is reformasi? What does it entail?

12. In my opinion, it must be the clinical overthrow of the status quo.

13. Next, which specific areas do you want reformasi carried out?

14. In the area of economics, politics, the law, culture etc?

15. Instead you discuss the inconsequentials . You are missing the trees for the woods .

16. You have discussed things like crankshaft, camshaft,cylinder head, timing belt ,spark plug. Not the engine block and piston.

17. Those to things are indeed important but have limited appeal .

18. These appeal to the unthinking crowd, the type cultivated by UMNO , seen as digits and driven by sentiments.

19. But we can got to appeal to millineals, gen z and k pop generations

20. Let's take the bull by its horns and discuss really important issues and readiness of the PM to confront those. That would elevate the stature of the PM .

21. Discuss for example, how the PM wants to tackle the constitutional monarchy status.

22. We are not living in an age where the ruler can cut open the tummy of a heavily pregnant lady to retrieve jackfruit taken from his orchard. If the story is indeed true. I don't think a ruler can be that heartless .

23. Let's discuss the creation of an economic model that can withstand shocks and other 'stochastic' variables

24. Let's discuss the elephant in the room issue. The separation of the post of PM from FM .

25. Let's talk about your proclivity to talk about a current kichi mayung issue. How you handle the Rafizi Bersama issue.

26. I think it's a bloody waste of time to demonise him , call him all sorts of names. Kuat nerajuk, sotong, khianat etc

27. You look at him, he's not someone easily intimidated or cowed

28. The die is already cast and he has crossed the Rubicon.

29. PKR has to live with the fact that it has Bersama to contend with.

30. The better approach is not to attack him ad hominem but to focus in carrying out your reformasi agenda ignoring side issues .

31. Don't miss the trees for the woods brother!

Masuk mesyin sebagai orang, keluar sebagai lembu.

1. Bila PM beri 260 ekor lembu untuk 1 tempat, satu Malaysia jadi geger.

3. Ini sebenarnya perkara nyet nyet .

4. Satu masa dulu, Najib beri 400 ekor lembu ke pekan, ada orang tanya sapa biaya?

5. Ternyata yang bertanya soalan tersebut adalah cyber terrorists UMNO serta penyokong bestie bosku

6. Seperti kata orang indon , oh my gott!

7. Kita berada pada tahap nitpicking, kebencian pada seseorang mencegah kita berlaku adil

8. Lupakah kita bahawa Anwar adalah PM. Mesti dia ada rangkaian pemudah cara. Seperti juga Najib bila dia PM ada facilitator nya

9. Jangan kita cepat terpengaruh dengan suara2 soldadu UMNO

10. Anwar tak ambil gaji PM. Betul., Tapi ada pencen, gaji menteri kewangan, elaun pengerusi X , Y dsb. Apa yang kita nak pelik?

11. Jangan kita lupa dia ada rangkaian penyokong yang ada pocket dalam

12. Saya yang tak ada duit, tak bolehlah ukur kemampuan seorang PM dari sudut saya.

13. Mengapa kita bising bila PMx beri 260 ekok tapi tak bising bila Najib beri 400 ekor?

14. Jangan kita jadi lembu memikirkan perkara yang nyet2 ni.

15. Ini mengingatkan saya kepada cerita seorang kawan

16. Kawan ini baik dengan ghafar baba. Ghafar baba cerita kat ostolia, ada mesgin masuk lembu keluar jadi sosej

17. Tapi ada mesyin , masuk orang keluar jadi lembu kata encik ghafar.

18. Di Malaysia ada mesin tu. Masuk orang,keluar jadi lembu .

19. Yang paling lembu ialah orang yang heran PM beri 260 ekor lembu

20. Seperti kata Pak Sako, wow!

Plutarchian malicious envy(PME). Devil's advocate series 50.

1. I think it was Plutarch who said when you joined envy with malice you produce feculent matter

2. He was originally a Greek philosopher. When he became a Roman citizen, he became a Roman philosopher

3. Malays seem to suffer from this Plutarchian malicious envy

4. The general rule is, if Malays cannot progress, others can't

5. You make your own limitations as the constraining boundaries for others

6. The affliction is more pronounced in bigoted Malays and those driven by hate politics.

7. I am sure, this Plutarchian malicious envy is also present in non Malay races.

8. But I am not interested in it's presence in other races. It's better for a malay to own up to his race's deficiencies rather than have them pointed out by other races.

9. Religious moral precepts and their nature's gentlemen nature can't seem to contain this Plutarchian malicious envy(PME).

10. So if a Malay wearing a skull cap start preaching pious things like protecting race religion and country, I will readily dismiss it as all fake and hypocritical

11. The PME surfaces in various external forms

12. Opposition to URA, local council elections, UEC and lastly vehement opposition to pig rearing etc

13. In opposing the URA for example, some have the self destructive wish. Self righteous activists are willing to see Malays live in squalid, unhealthy , dilapidated and amenities-less dwellings.

14. Some dress up to look seductive, others cry while some roll on the ground lifting their sarongs.

15. I heard when some lifted their sarongs, some kids fainted and some got nightmares when sleeping

16. They cite the horror stories that owners of lands will get theirs confiscated. No compensation .

17. Are we to believe that these people are better projected by self righteous activists than by the law?

18. At the core, what really drives the self righteous activists is PME.

19. If they can't get them, others must also be deprived of the benefits

20. Moreover, the URA is mooted by a Chinaman which must have evil intents toward the Malays

21. If the URA were to be mooted by a malay, preferably by an UMNO man, the URA would be accepted

22. PME is also at work in the opposition to local council elections. Since relatively few Malays can enjoy the amenities demanded by elected councilors, better not have local elections.

23. Doesn't it occur to the righteous objectors, if they want amenities to Malays,have elections of the JKKKs. Not formation of kkk.

24. There is nothing behind the opposition of UEC other than PME.

25. Chinese shouldn't be given opportunities at the expense of Malays

26. It's also the zero sum mentality at work .

27. Opposition to pig rearing is more complicated. Malays who are also Muslims have valid reasons to oppose it. Their religion forbids them

28. They oppose pig rearing not because they don't eat pork, but can't bear to see those who eat pork enjoy.

29. They masked their opposition behind reasons of pollution etc. These are just circumstantial.

30. We can now see the destructive effects of PME. We should be ridding of them.

31. With these actions, let's call UMNO's bluff. Declare that PH will go alone in N9, melaka, Johor.

32. And in the GE16, it will indeed be free for all. It's free fall for UMNO more likely.

31. With these actions, let's call UMNO's bluff. Declare that PH will go alone in N9, melaka, Johor.

Wak J and UMNO's imagined comeback . Devil's advocate series 49.

1. Many have heard of the following idioms. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. Pride comes before the fall .

2. The Malays also have a saying. Mendengar guruh di langit, ayer di tenpayan di buangkan.

3. Many saw wak J raised his hand , fist clenched as though savoring victory already

4. Or just showboating in defiance.

5. The not so bright are always doing that. They have fools as audience.

6. For God sake, the Javanese neanderthal is applying leave from the federal court challenging the bar council's suit at the HC.

7. Its asking big brother court to correct the mistake of little brother court. Assuming little brother court has indeed erred.

8. But more damagingly, it gave the impression that wak J has got the FC justices in his pocket.

9. The judiciary ought not countenance such arrogance

10. His lawyers may advanced all the shyster arguments for him to win. I am inadequate to delve into the matter.

11. But people are watching. And they are saying something is unusual and maybe an abuse of procedure.

12. The trial at the HC has not even started, wak J is asking the FC to snuff it out

13. Tablay itu maciam la thamby!

14. Wasn't it lord denning who said that if you leave everything to the technical legal experts, things can get topsy turvy . Common sense must temper it.

15. The worse thing, it may even suggest that the whole of the judiciary is in the pockets of UMNO. Upright justices will take exception to that.

16. It's fata viam invenient or quid quid erit,erit, alea iacta esto.

17. Some people have ascribed to wak J extraordinary attributes. Because of that they say UMNO is on the rise.

18. Wak J has scammed brother Anwar. The pupil has outsmarted the teacher

20. Hoi, it's not a case of Larry summers being smarter than his uncle, Paul sammuelson.

21. They point to UMNO's 14 ministerial posts despite having only 26 seats. Juicy GLC appointments and thousand of ketua kampungs.

22. Those, people take as signs that UMNO is on the rise

23. Admittedly I take that as a mistake on brother Anwar's part. Inviting the enemy to share power with you.
24. Perhaps it is hubris and overconfidence on his part.

25. But hold your horses, UMNO. You have been listening too much to your 5th columnists cytros telling you UMNO can win

26. Mat Hassan says UMNO can win in N9, fat Albert says it can win melaka and onn Hafiz says wak J agreed he goes solo -to the grave

27. The GE is technically 2 years away, enough time for Anwar to throw a spanner in the works

28. Don't ever think that Anwar couldn't read of wak J's machinations. Hes not sitting down like a statue

29. The concessions given by Anwar to UMNO are just icing on the cake to lull UMNO into complacency.

30. UMNO will choke in its own vomit

31. 60 over years of UMNO misrule can't be erased within 5 years, not with UMNO's continuing mediocrity

32. People don't see Adolf akmal as a hired gun but as a loose Cannon that's damaging UMNO

33. UMNO is quiet on rafizi's exit from PKR for a reason.

34. Rafizi is also a dagger to the heart of UMNO

35. It's not that Rafizi hates PKR less, but he hates UMNO more.

36. As to UMNO believing it's making a comeback, Willy Anwar has a few tricks up his sleeves.

37. UMNO is a paper tiger.

Cybertrooping and respecting people's intelligence. Devil's advocate series 48.

1. I have to write on this aspect. I am loath to say this of PKR supporters especially those keyboard warriors on the internet

2. PKR is the bulwark, main pillar, pilaster to component PH parties like DAP and AMANAH. The omission of snaky UMNO is deliberate, ya

3. If these cytros do not present their narratives intelligently, it will affect the main partners badly and reflects poorly and inadequately on the PM.

4. Hence , the cytros are responsible for the PM and main partners of PH

5. As to UMNO, coming out with banalities and propaganda-ish material, is expected of them .

6. Living with platitudes, trite and banalities is 2nd nature to UMNO

7. UMNO is accustomed to dumbing down people because politically aware people is a challenge to them

8. But we expect better from PKR cytros. We expect to elevate the political awareness of people

9. Just where does PKR find them? In the gutter of UMNO and pas rejects?

10. These PKR cytros will deluge the internet with single sentence assertions without giving the rationale for them

11. Case in point -anwar is the PM most sociable with people, Anwar is the best FM, over 3 years Anwar has brought in X amount of investments, the biggest, the LHDN under Anwar has collected the most taxes/revenue. Blah blah

12. This kind of palliatives without more elucidation makes people puke

13. People may be quite, but they are now more intelligent.

14. They constantly evaluate, analysed and measure the worth of leaders and ultimately the leader of leaders himself

15. Do you want, because of your banal narratives and trite, ultimately regard the leader of leaders in lower estimation?

16. Hey, this is easily swayed by Goebbel-sian propaganda.

17. Only UMNO thrives in such a dumbing down situation. It remains antiquated and ought to be kept in the display cupboard.

18. We expect the PKR cytros to be more widely read, elucidate the subject matter intelligently and respect the people's intelligence

19. The cytros are doing exactly what the UMNO and pas brown shirts were and are doing, insulting the intelligence of the people.

20. It's not PKR only that will be damaged but also the main partners in PH.

21. I am cautioning the DAP in particular, when coming out with narrative on particular subject matters to do so intelligently and respect people's intelligence

22. PKR cytros, please buck up!
