Religious outrage but TLC on corruption. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 79



1. I so wished the same intense outrage, disgust and repulsive anger are directed towards corruption as they are towards the building of a Hindu temple.

2. So, we asked why do malays who are Muslims in name and deed behave like this?

3. It seems that malays are ready to call to arms over the jalan masid India Hindu temple. The spirit is applaudable.

4.even Malay ladies who have not even prayed at the masjid India and will not likely pray at the new mosque to be built, joined in the fray expressing outrage.

5. They go to that area to buy things from wisma yakin or buy costume jewelry and trinkets from the shops there . Most importantly to see and buy the latest clothing material from jakel or to oggle at the clothing material bought by Kak Rosie.

6. Malays, men and women, young and old have joined the fray expressing outrage, disgust at the temple. Outrage has evolved into racism, bigotry and religious intolerance where land granted to Hindus is vehemently opposed. See what it has developed the into?

7. How do you explain this evolution? To my mind, this is the result of years of indoctrination and lies. First by temporal xenophobic nationalism and paranoia. Second, by religious xenophobism and paranoia.

8. Type 1 corruption is almost a religion to the Malay firsters political parties like UMNO, bersatu and their like minded groups. The ecclesiastical warlords are constantly searching for some obscure religious dictates that see corruption as sedekah

9. These political parties share a common trait, they have no political will to control corruption. So, if the teacher pisses off while standing, the students do so while running.

10. A much beloved UMNO and the country's leader , once said that corruption is the grease that lubricates the machine and the engine for economic growth. UMNO people took the saying literally like a duck takes to water.

11. I am surprised that UMNO leaders, past and present are not under SPRMs radar while pas leaders are said to be. Hello, corruption is the oxygen to UMNO la.

12. We all know that pas operates on the principle, wa haramun kalau makan sorang, wa halalun kalau bbagi Dua.

13. And talking about the lack of political will,the pakatan people seem to have contacted this contagious desease. Why is that only Anwar seems to be shrieking and shouting here and there about combating corruption, while others do not.?

14. The harapan people, especially it's ministers including DAP folks are not making combating corruption as part of their job description. Or are they making hay while the sun shines?

15. So if political parties and the government have no political will to combat corruption, don't expect the people, especially the yak yak yay crowd to have the will and determination.

16. People ignore religious and moral sanctions against corruption. Not that they.are not present - they are, but people simply ignore them.

17. Or it could mean, that religious and moral values that see corruption as venal, are not rigorously instilled. Or they are not regarded as important and therefore society takes them lightly.

18. Lack of political will, flippant treatment of religious and moral values, these values not enforced rigorously, make society sees controlling corruption as something trivial. Some sections of the Malay community , see corruption as a petty and a nickel and dime issue, a necessary evil as it were.

19. As a result, sections of the Malay community, pedal the idea that corruption is not something to be ashamed of .

20. A community that is not ashamed of corruption has no honour and no amour propre.

21. As a result, these groups shamelessly ' pasar malam' the slogan ,apa nak malu bossku.

22. Groups that trivialize corruption are not worth our while to support. Now that you know parties like UMNO and pas actually support corruption, do we still want to support them? I hope not.

23. Since 1957,our education system never included corruption as a subject in our syllabus. To be condemned and despised at. If we did , perhaps we could have generations growing up hating and despising



corruption. 24. Instead, the education has come up with the zanny idea of mandating students wear jalur gemilang stickers on their shirts. Woi, all of us including the minister grew up without wearing such stickers on our school uniforms. And our love for the country is not diminished. 25. Then might as well asked all uniform bodies do the same. Police, customs , immigration and so on. Imagine the millions raked in by the sticker supplier/s.

26. I have a better idea. Why not have a photo of a young Rose Chan in all her glory, stitched on uniforms. I am very sure the uniforms will be much loved and preciously looked after .

27. Parents don't teach their children to hate and despise corruption. Taking other people's property, stealing and the like are evil and sinful deeds. Makan duit Haram is Haram and supporting it , is also Haram.

28. We mustn't discount the role played by the lying social media in shaping public opinion. Our social media is awashed with articles and narratives glorifying and celebrating corruption and the Corruptors.

29. How often are we being fed with nauseating narratives saying that Najib is a victim rather than a perpetrator. It's incitement asking us to subvert the law agitating for Najib to get full pardon and be freed. Have we forgotten about his role to be decided in the mother of all heists, 1MDB? 30. What are we to do, if he's found guilty? Again ask for an innocent verdict for a guilty person? Or call for public lynching of the judge?

31. Already a soft landing is prepared for Ismail sabri in the almost 200m graft case. Also by social media operatives saying the case is political.

32. We must never forget that these social media operatives are probably UMNO surrogates. The articles and narratives written by bottom of the barrel material , the bottom feeders and parasites from deep down the bowels of society.

33. If we sane members of society, surrender our critical thinking facilities, we are going to be sucked into the whirlpool of Bonhoeffers collective stupidity. The interests of the many hijacked by a few madmen .

34. The attitude of society as regards such a thing like corruption, is determined also by our own personal values system. If we are the weak and ambivalent type, we will countenance and support corruption. If we look at corruption as a nickel and dime issue, it means we don't care for the integrity and honour of society. We are a society with no shame, honour and amour propre. Imagine a Malay society described as one that has no shame honour and amour propre.

35. A society that has no shame and honour will likely spawn persons who commit corruption but have no shame honour and amour propre. They don't give a damn as to how society looks at them

36. Contrast this to what happened in Singapore in the early 80s. A minister was convicted for corruption. Unable to withstand shame and dishonour, he drank poison and committed suicide. Sorry, I have to use this example. My apologies to the family .

37. If the same stigma is felt here in Malaysia, the man to be charged with the almost 200m graft case would drink a barrelfull of poison. The man already convicted for corruption and is currently charged for grand heist under 1MDB would drink from an Olympic sized pool filled with cyanide.

38. That, grasshopper, concludes our 1st part of this article. In the next installment other aspects of the paradox of religious outrage but loving care of corruption will be discussed.

The new comfort zone. Part 1. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 78

1. The old comfort zone in which umno excels consist of 2 main elements -

2.

  • Play the race game
  • Play the zero sum game .

3. The way forward, for parties like UMNO, pas, bersatu the people at the lunatic fringe shouting maniacally, people with brains where the wires are short fused, are to play up racial strife and hostilities and strife.

4. That's why people like mad cow akmal is at the forefront finding 1001 excuses to flare up racial strive. Maybe with the blessings of the java boss, he quarrels with the non malays. Mind you, that, not only offends the Nons but law abiding malays too. Quarrelling with different races is 2nd nature to UMNO. Yet there are still some pockets of people rooting in for UMNO. God have mercy on them!

5. Then, there's the zero sum game they play. One race can only prosper at the expense of another race. The Chinaman got richer and the malayman got poorer. Chinaman becomes the object of derision.

6. The 'games' of the old comfort zone are played by the antiquated minded political parties. UMNO,pas and bersatu will become increasingly irrelevant.

7. They will become so as people's political awareness becomes higher and sophisticated. Simplistic and populist narratives will be disputed

8. Well tuan, Elvis has left the building. We are no longer willing to play the games of the old comfort zone. The games of the new comfort zone will never be understood by the antiquated parties mentioned. Nor can it be understood by their lackeys on social media.

9. First we need a pragmatic leader and leadership for the country. A leader and leadership that focusses on results rather than one that marvel at theories. I know the PM knows about all that jazz about pragmatism, but I will say about it anyway.

10. Among other things, pragmatic leadership focuses on practicality and adaptability, is results oriented, decides on the basis of data, focuses on efficiency, takes ownership of problems and not blaming others, has great communication skills to explain its decision, balances short and long term goals and so on

11. I am not going to explain the above in greater details. Except I need to say something on the seemingly contagious CYA( cover your ass) syndrome. People are fond of saying, oh this has been done before by the previous admin,when they were in power apa bikin?

12. True! But now you are power, what are you going to do? Haven't you heard of the saying, 2 wrongs don't make a right?

13. First, we must WANT a pragmatic government giving us results, practical and realistic. A plural society with diverse ethnicity, religion , culture and language needs a pragmatic government .

14. Not for us parties selling us master race ideology and religious utopianism.

15. Then we need a good government. How do get one? A good government needs good people.

16. Good qualifications help. We want leaders who are knowledgeable, understand concepts, do not require repeated explanations.

17. Now more than ever, we need honest leaders who don't succumb easily to the edifying effects of power .

18. We need leaders who can retain their composure. Not easily ruffled, calm and collected. Not break under pressure and respond maniacally to the slightest of provocation.

19. Shell ( the oil company) has a way of identifying leaders. Lee kuan yew was said to follow it's method

20. It goes by the acronym HAIR. Helicopter view , analytical, imagination and realistic.

21. H is the ability to see the big picture rather than being restrained by parochial views. When Anwar decides to go ahead of building a mosque on a trespassed land but allow Hindus build a temple on another site, this is an example of a helicopter view.

22. The bigger picture is the importance to preserve social cohesion rather than cave in to demands of religious bigots

23. Preserving social cohesion is in the interest of the nation. It overrides group interest .

24. Decisions to be made must be data and facts driven. Decisions based on spontaneous gut reactions must be avoided. These are foundations of analysis.

25. By imagination, we don't mean mental frolics or cartoon like fantasies. It means being able to foresee the consequences of ones actions. Then you can be accountable to them .

25 (b). Being able to foresee the course of actions and able to foresee their consequences, must be referenced to realities. Are the course of actions and their consequences, can they be realistically implemented. For example, can affirmative policies be dismantled now given overzealous Malay protection of the policies?

26. These are features of a good government which are cornerstone of the new comfort zone . obviously old comfort zone parties dare not face them. As a result, by natural developments, they will become irrelevant. Say goodbye to them

It's worse than just a slap. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 77

1. If the malayman who slapped a Chinaman (unlawful )for eating in public(lawful), on account of a badly written charge, the fault is with the state legal advisors office.

2. Investigate the person who wrote the charge. That person may have deliberately written a fuzzy report so as to 'restraint' the judge.

3. Even better, transfer the SLA for not ' proofing ' the charge before it's sent out.

4. The charge badly written, would force the judge(who interprets the law and finds accordingly) to have no choice but to grant a DNAA. A DNAA is actually a guilty verdict but for some technical glitches.

5. Now we see it, through the eyes of reasonable men, a DNAA in truth generally is a guilty verdict .

6. Hence those who were given DNAAs have no reasons to gloat. They are really guilty .

7. In the slapping case, obviously the judge does not believe in judicial activism ( being unelected) nor does he have the urge to consider policy considerations nor apply a bit of common sense.

8. Some policy ramifications include:-

  •  result in copycat slapping elsewhere.
  • fears that things worse than slapping will occur.
  • gives impression that people can take law in own hands.
  • embolden religious fanatics and religious vigilantes.
  • others live in constant fears.
  • energise the xenophobic supremacists to pick a fight.
9. For these reasons, the executive branch must interfere to correct the wrongs.

10. Now let's discuss about the assailant. He's called assailant because he assaults, doesn't he? Or defendant (sedap sikit dengar).

11. I think in law, there's a concept called eggshell skull rule(hey, I like the novelty term, eggshell skull rule). The defendant takes the victim as he is.

12. To me la, the reverse is also true. We must also treat the assailant as he is .

13. That means, we ignore whether assailant has got personality disorders, whether he got pressures at home, whether he didn't get his ration the previous night etc. He must be held accountable.

14. Don't get sentimental. Oh he's 65 years young, he's Malay, a fasting Muslim, he wears a robe probably UMNO some more and so on.

15. These shouldn't be treated as mitigating and ameliorating factors

The slapping incident. Some preliminary thoughts. Tales by an unknown blogger. No. 76

1. When writing "jungle book", Rudyard Kipling said strange things happened in the jungles of India. In our country, stranger things happened in the legal jungle.

2. In the slapping case , the judge ruled that the 65 years old Malay man, fasting, a Muslim wearing a robe be given a DNAA.

3. Then it was reported that the AGC countermanded this ruling by saying ,after a few glitches, the DNAA is rescinded.

4. Boleh itu maciam kah?

5. Pardon my ignorance, but I thought as many do, that the judge is the final arbiter in cases brought before him or her.

6. If what is reported is true , then the conduct of the AGC tantamounts to usurping the authority of the court. This maybe grounds for contempt of court or any other charges lawyers can creatively come out with.

7. So which is which? That's why I say stranger things can happen in the legal jungle.

8. If it's true the AGC said that, it reflects badly on the quality of people in the AGC.

9. This is what happens if you have numbskulls in the AGC. We must demand now that the AG must be a 1st class holder and the lawyers in the AGC must be at least of 2nd upper material.

10. Otherwise statements like that issued by the AGC, which are usurpive and contempt of court in nature, will be the norm of an imbecilic AGC.

11. What the AGC said maybe grounds for contempt of court or maybe not. The case is over and not ongoing. But its certainly usurpive in nature.

12. I would have thought, going through the process, if the AGC is not happy with the decision of the court of 1st instance, it can appeal to the Appeal Court. If still not happy, it can go the Federal Court

13. Or was the response by the AGC, a knee jerk response of the AGC to the PM's condemnation of the slapping incident?

14. Note that the PM did not dispute the decision of the court( that's the business of the AGC or the DA) but condemned the slapping incident.

15. That proves my point . The legislature and especially the executive are the custodians of public policy, the greater good, public interests and keeper of the People's conscience. At times he must interfere in judicial decisions when they are patently wrong and go against public interest.

16. I am not going off tangent to discuss the issue of judicial activism vs judicial restraint. Let lawyers argue about that

17. The judge in this particular case may have directed his mind to considering of extraneous factors that have got nothing to do with a case of assault and causing bodily harm.

18. Or the charges were badly written, that the judge had no choice but to give a DNAA.

19. If no. 18 is the case, then we come back to the points in para 9. I think this point was also raised by lee kuan yew , when he cited an example of a lawyer with 4 O- levels with a lawyer with 10 0-levels.

20. With the four O-levels lawyer, you've got to explain things to him several times. Similarly to make sense of what he wrote, one has to read his material over and over again

21. If that were the case, reflected in the charges he wrote, he should be given the sack. And never to practise.

22. Whatever it is, the assailant as of now, got a DNAA. We are not certain if he has been recharged. Again that's a whammy for the DA and the AGC.

23. If he got a DNAA it's disgusting. Raises repugnance, shock, distrust in the judiciary and our law deserves public opprobrium.

24. Imagine a person who hears voices in his head giving him a religious license to do as he pleases, a self appointed vigilante and a robed crusader going around roughing up people. Such a chap should be locked up in a mental institution.

25. I think it was Sukarno, who understood the psychology of the average Indonesian. Give the average Indonesian, a uniform and he transforms into a beast!

26. Here, a 65 year young man, a Malay, Muslim , fasting wearing a robe, the defacto uniform of the seemingly religious, slapping a Chinese, non Muslim and therefore not fasting. As sir Thomas Moore asked, on whose authority?

27. He takes the law into his own hands. Push it to the extremes. Women with tight clothing or arousing him can be molested, men with no moustache and bard can be hurt and so on

28. Public policy demands he be punished accordingly and not given a suspended sentence on account of some technical glitches.

29. I read somewhere on FB, some joker asked why the fuss about the slapping. Move on.

30. That's typical of the yak yak yay crowd. Treat everything lightly and have fun.

31. Stealing is fun, lying is, mocking the judiciary is fun, slapping other people causing them bodily harm is fun.

32. We don't move on mappilay, the man must be taught accountability. Every action must be met with equal reaction. Having made the bed, he must now lay on it!

Old vs new comfort zone. Tales by an unknown blogger no 75

1. Friends asked for my opinion about the outcome of the recent dap elections. I told them I am reluctant to do so . I don't want to because of reasons only I know. But when I heard some people say the Lim dynasty is despatched unceremoniously and the DAP is no longer in a comfort zone, I have to say something after all.

2. All these opinions coming from armchair analysts are simply wrong. Admittedly these opinions unconsciously reflect their UMNO dna.

3. In an earlier article,I wrote Lim guan eng must accept the desire for a change of guards. He mustn't see his demotion as it were, as a rejection of his legacy or of Lim kit siang's.

4. The DAP will always be known as the party that LKS built.

5. Hence , the smug and gleeful view of opinions of seeing what happened at the DAP congress as an ungrateful despatch of the lims legacy, is wrong

6. It's political darwinism in action. It's adapt or be irrelevant.

7. On the other hand, parties that refuse to adapt, like UMNO, pas, bersatu will be extinct.

8. The new adaptation I am talking about, is moving away from confrontational and pugilistic politics to one that is willing and reason out with various stakeholders in the country.

9. What comfort zone are we talking about? It's old vs new comfort zone.

10. Parties like UMNO , pas , bersatu and other Malay supremacists, are snug, commodious and reposeful in the old comfort zone.

11. The old comfort zone where racial strife, hostilities and differences are accentuated. The old comfort zone that sees life as a zero sum game.

12. These parties see their relevancy beng affirmed only by way of hostile narratives, by championing xenophobic utterances. 13. In a zero sum world, the Chinese prosper, the Malay suffer. The Chinese get richer, the Malays get poorer. Seems the area in which malays excel is corruption.

14. The old comfort zone is compatible with parties that refuse to adapt. Well, adapt or perish. This old comfort zone is also embellished by UMNO DNAied social media operatives.

15. DAP is moving to the new comfort zone. Where things like ethnic unity matters, good governance matters, law and order matters, shared prosperity matters, education for all matters, eradication of corruption does, political stability is a premium etc

16. The DAP defines the new comfort zone and will not let unadaptive political parties define it.

17. The instrument by which the new comfort zone will be achieved is the newly elected DAP leadership.

18. The changing of the guards shouldn't cause any consternation among grass roots DAP people. Trust the leadership of Anthony loke and the new praetorian guards.

19. Some UMNO people must be daydreaming or have ingested copious amounts of daun ketum. They say DAP will suffer the same fate of MCA. Huh, UMNO finally admits that MCA is but a footnote in it's playbook.

20. Its like kettle calling the pot black or like the Malay says, the tray(dulang) says the nail is chipped, saying about other people, you overdoes it.

21. It's UMNO, which refuses to adapt that will become increasingly irrelevant. And that will not be understood too by the UMNO DNA -ied social media operatives.

22. You know what the DAP changing of guards means and symbolizes? It means the DAP acknowledges the increasing maturity of Malaysian society.

23. It acknowledges that society has matured. Willing to be engaged and listen to rational reasons. It's ready to eschew xenophobic nationalism and xenophobic religiosity.

24. The DAP is ready for it and this is reflected in the new leadership . Willing to engage and reason with Malaysian stakeholders. Get behind the leadership of the sec-gen.

DAPs pledge of loyalty to Anwar. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 74

1. A few big name political parties were noticeably absent from the DAPs 18th congress. We can assume they were not invited.

2. BN, GPS and GRS were not invited. UMNO is considered BN as mic and mca are considered UMNOs minions only .

3. The fact, they were not invited can suggest they were not considered as core parties of PH.

4. They were just mentionables. They were mentioned by the pm in his speech as a matter of politess .

5. So, the parties that remained were the OG, the originator of the PH group. the lower case g refers refers more to umno-the thieves, morbid racists, the real exploiters of race, religion and King. Avoid it like the plague.

6. However, we do want to discuss who were invited and who were not . Of particular interest to us, was the promise made by DAP that it would be loyal to Anwar.

7. To cut to the chaste, it means don't trust UMNO. UMNO is only a fair weathered friend. While it's leaders in the cabinet may pretend to be loyal to pak sheikh, its people are constantly destabilizing Anwar.

8. There, I say it! Never trust UMNO. Zahid the diffident and vacillating UMNO leader can't control the loose canons in UMNO . always covering it by saying that democracy in UMNO Is alive . The truth is, UMNO is hunting with the hounds and running with the hare .

9. Have we ever heard or seen UMNO declaring undying loyalty to Anwar? No! yes,? It can't as a matter of conscience. It's always plotting to oust Anwar.

10. The fatal mistake, is to invite a mortal enemy to share power with you. Please remember that?

11. Don't listen to a few desperados describing the relationship between UMNO and DAP as umdap. What is that? There is no love lost between the 2. They are strange bedfellows learning to tolerate each other as is allowed. They learn to coexist peacefully for the time being

12..listening to DAP is listening to excellence. Listening to UMNO is listening to mediocrity.

13. Now, let's explore the symbolism of DAP pledging undying support for Anwar.

14. Anwar can only trust DAP and by extension AMANAH. These are the OG which have swum and sank with PKR. They are proven material.

15. By reverse reasoning, never trust UMNO.its a fair weathered friend. It clings on to PH in order to retain power and remain relevant to malays.

16. More importantly, trust in DAP and AMANAH , in the sense of a fukuyama trust involves reciprocity .

17. By pledging loyalty to Anwar, the PM must reciprocate with an instantaneous goodwill gesture. No, not by kowtowing to DAP - that would only please Malay supremacists, that Anwar tunduk kepada DAP.

18. The reciprocity asked is by being always circumspect of UMNO.

19. Itu saja!

Unscrambling the PM's speech at the DAP 18th national Congress. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 73

1. The PM's speech at the 18th DAP congress was interesting. Of particular interest to me was his admission that it's extremely difficult to rule a country with different races, religions, demands etc .

2. Unfortunately, the ramifications and import of the opening remarks were easily lost on many in the audience.

3. That is, as soon as the PM gets into his constipation mode, punctuating and exerting verbally the rest of his narrative.

4. The message he wants to impart will be lost on the crowd as they become mesmerized by his oratorical skills.

5. Those are the perils of being a demagogue orator. That's why plain and as a matter of fact narrative is preferred .

6. But we can't change the way the pm speaks. He is gifted in that. No one in Malaysia has that skills. When I was studying at UM long ago, girls would swoon when he talked. Some, already older now still have the young girls excitement.

7. So, allow not so bright me, break down what the PM says to you. Ok people?

8. It will become extremely difficult to rule a country with diverse people with different cultures, religions and so on. If you try to be all things to all people and try to please everyone.

9. Tablay itu maciam, dei thamby.

10. Don't be a political hydra, that creature with many heads. You use head A to talk to malays, head B to Chinese, head C to indians, heads D, E ,F to other races. Always saying things each community wants to hear

11. Be a man of all seasons, consistent to a set of principles rarely changing them in response to situational pressures.

12. Luckily for all of us, the PM has affirmed that he will remain consistent. Despite the competing and often conflicting demands of the various races, he will give effect to the heartbeat and pulse impulses of the Malaysian people as a whole. His unchanging principle is that no one race will be marginalized. That's comforting for us. We must support such a man .

13. Just look at the terrifying alternative..if the PM were to listen and pander to the demands of the racial supremacists, Malay for example, what do we do? Drown all non malays in the ocean?

14. It's not just a smarmy call to support him. It's in the interest of the greater good

15. I have told you, when the PM gets into constipation mode or push the baby during childbirth mode, we stand no chance. We will be swept away and mesmerized by his oratorical skills.

16. Listening to the PM's speech per se, wasn't it, inadvertently a death knell for guan eng?

17. From guan eng we get grouses, whining and veiled threats. From loke, we get hala tuju, policies and the way forward.

18. Between the 2, which one do we choose? Even jinjang joe knows which to choose.

19. I am not siding with either one. I know both personally but loke was the one who persuaded me to join the DAP. He was the national organizing secretary then.

20. Looking at the outcome of the dap elections, guan eng has to accept the desire for the changing of guards. Accept it gracefully, 'bloder'.

21. Next, listen to the views of the PM on the speed of revolutions, reforms and changes. If rushed will end in failures. Look at Poland , France and chezchoslovakia.

22. But it shouldn't be done leisurely either. The point is not fast or slow, but to it with great care and meticulously.

23. And forget about politeness, niceties and sentimentalism. Revolutions, reformasi must be violent in nature. 24. A revolution, ' reformasi' are not like doing embroidery, doing a painting or eating pasembor and drinking teh tarik. It's the violent overthrow of the old and decrepit regime .

25. There was 1 particular aspect which the PM mentioned in his speech. We now move on to a hallowed ground subject matter, the independence of the judiciary.

26. I will confine myself only to what the PM understood it to be in that speech although I have my own opinion on this trias politica concept coined by Montesquieu. That will be the subject of a separate article I hope.

27. To the pm,in that speech, independence of the judiciary means absolutely no interference by the executive into the business by the judiciary in the dispensing of justice. Ok la, I accept this admission for the time being, although I had wished the pm would have added the proviso, ' provided the judiciary does it's functions without fear or favour and most importantly with HONESTY.

28. Provided the judicial fraternity does its job without fear or favour and most importantly with HONESTY, then there ought to be absolutely no reason for the executive to grope it like Clinton did..we are comforted by the PM's empathetic and assertive assurance on this matter. Hurrah, belts off pants down dicks out

29. If the pm says, under his rule, there was and will be non interference in the judiciary,then the many disagreeable things to emanate from the judicial fraternity, siapa bikin pak sheikh?

30. The lhdn lawyers must have acted with bias and unfairness, when Najibs daughter who owed 10m back taxes was forgiven. What about the millions owed by the sons? I am saying this to be unfair when so many salary earners like my own daughter , are called by the lhdn to undergo forensic accounting. Did Najibs children be made to undergo the same ordeal?

31. The prosecutorial team must be incompetent and 3rd grade MCE graders for dropping charges against Reza Aziz and giving DNAAs to people like Zahid and Najib Ali babavum.

32. Judges must be corrupt to easily give in to these unjusticiable infractions. Tiu Nia seng!

33. I am not making up this last accusation ya..last 2 years, a friend an ex MB sent me a document on corruption. I was horrified to learn from the data, that the incidence of corruption was highest among the judiciary. Higher than lawmakers!

34. So pak shekh, the notion of non inference of the judiciary may be right in Montesquieus ideal world but not in the world of realpolitik.
