Unsolicited advices from citizen A

When Muhyiddin was asked, by journalists when Najib will be arrested, he answered he will not  interfere. Politically correct answer, but wrong anyway.

The better answer would have been, "If Najib were guilty then he will have to face the legal consequences. Muhyiddin cannot be neutral.

Muhyiddin must seize the opportunity to isolate Najib and his, ilk in UMNO. Confiscate the billions he stole. Ban him from politics.

Do the same to like-thinking  UMNO people.
Muhyiddin must have the killer instinct  to crush these people.

Now is the time to set up Bersatu branches in every UMNO divisions.  PBPM must engage the people directly.

It must open itself to engaging all Malaysians and not only Malays.

This is the time to co-opt  like-thinking people into Bersatu. By doing this it will cause the dilution of UMNO.

There is a rational reason for not staying neutral. Muhyiddin must show which side is he on. 
By deliberately making  choices Muhyiddin can earn respect and loyalty of the people.

In this circumstance  only Najib hates him, but he has gained admiration of the people.  Najib is one person. Can he win against  the many?

By making choices, Muhyiddin shows he's making a bold decision.  People will prefer a decisive leader.  Not choosing side  will  only show you as an irresolute  leader.  Its better to be hated by one person than by the many.

Action is more preferable than inaction.  So by throwing  his hat with the people  Muhyiddin shows he is decisive  and bold gaining their respect.

Choose a front and fight for it wholeheartedly.  Like Hussein Onn once said don't fight on several  fronts at once. We are not a fan of neutrality.

By not  making a bold decision shows  you are timid and indecisive.  You will be hated by both sides.
But which side do You choose?
In my example above, in a democracy  choose, the majority.  Najib is one person. Sacrifice him.

Not making a bold decision must only be done for strategic reasons. Even that must  not be overused lest it shows timidity. People say this is discretion and it may indeed be the better part of valour.

This principle was shown in WW2-thw fascist leader Mussolini  sided with Hitler  while  Franco of Spain  remained  neutral. Although Mussolini  was eventually executed the Germans aided him and helped  him regain power.  Franco  because he was neutral  managed to stay in power for another 30 years.

Mussolini  chose the wrong  side BUT gained  the respect and admiration of the Germans.
By postponing his decision and remaining  neutral Franco  remained in power.  But today Il Duce is more remembered than Franco. 
Even when making a wrong decision  but a decisive one gains respect and admiration  and is remembered  longer.
Hence,  don't be neutral  and timid, by setting up Bersatu branches and divisions  Bersatu shows its presence and deal with problems  hands on.

Nowadays  it may not be possible to be  physically  present  because maybe you are holding  public  office and so on, you can appoint personal  representatives etc. Hold skype meetings  and send e-mails. Show your presence.

Co-opting friendly  UMNO  members and aiding  them  to form Bersatu branches is like expanding and acquiring  new territories.

Through  these people  establish beach heads through  which to expand Bersatu's influence. Ask them to dissolve  UMNO branches  but remember  not to give them too great power. They will and can undermine  you. Use them to put down rivals.  That is good politics, unethical  but good.

In ancient Greek  history  Achilles  and Hercules  were educated by a being known as Chiron. It was half beast and half human.

There are two ways of getting power.  One is to use the law the other by force.

The first is opened  to man, the second to beast.
When civility and discussion  no longer work then fear and intimidation  need to be employed.

Hence, the good leader must use both methods. Sometimes,  force is necessary to achieve what is wanted.

Be open-minded then. If Najib is guilty use overwhelming force on him.  Others too. Confiscate their ill-gotten  gains. Close their accounts. Ban them from politics.

Resorting to animalistic conduct be both a lion and  the fox. Be strong like the lion and be cunning  like the fox.

The good leader will adjust his policies according to circumstances.  That is why he never judged something  prematurely. Decide the fate of golem Najib  when the time comes. Don't judge now.

Adapt or perish!

Najib Personality Disorder

Najib lambasted PH for not fulfilling its election promises. That is the same question I posed to a PH leader when the latter visited  me.

I told the leader people aren't interested to know you have fulfilled  70% of the promises.  They are looking for big ticket items like the reduction in fuel prices, the abolition  of tolls and PTPTN.

They are no longer the government, so I  am not going to talk about them.

But I am certainly going to talk about pee wee Najib.  He is like 7-Eleven.  He never shuts his  mouth ever. Well, he's not going to be unchallenged!

Perhaps Najib is suffering from NPD-narcissistic personality disorder. He thinks the world revolves around  him.

He thinks highly of himself to the exclusion of others. Accordingly, the world ought to run as he thinks.

Because of that Malaysia was turned into a gigantic ATM machine. His own that is.

In that world  Najib was able to apply his voodoo economics-cash is king. He spent like nobody's  business.

It became our business. We had to dedicate time and resources  to rectify our voodoo-ed economy. He created a huge mess!

The monumental  mess is the main reason  why PH was not able to fulfil its promises fully. Much time and resources were spent in cleaning the shit he left behind.

We must not wonder why we could not fulfil ALL of the election promises!

A Lesson In Pragmatic Politics

Many years ago I was in a group discussing why we need a good person like Pak Lah to lead our country. A friend said as a matter of factly-if you want a good person find an imam.

It made me realised that it's almost impossible to be both a good person and a politician.
Hence, the popular image of a politician who is sly underhanded and dishonest.

We should not be thinking  that way, rather the question  we should  ask ourselves  is-. Is this person an effective leader?

Hj Hadi was once MB of Trengganu. His avowed objective was to establish a kingdom of God there.  He soon was overwhelmed  by real politiks.  He failed after 1 term.

M. Yacob of Kelantan is different.  There his primary objective  is not to  establish a kingdom of God but to manage the state effectively.  So he has managed  to endure longer.

But the jury is not out yet.  With the increasing Mullah-isation of PAS Kelantan, it may prove to be his Achilles  heel!

So the ustazs in PAS may not be purely persons of God after all.  Earthly matters may colour their character.

If they want to remain fundamentalist, be a preacher not a Politician.

The raison d'être of a good politician  is to defend enrich and honour the state. And this may require the use of the darker arts.

To honour the state may include  jettisoning  people like Najib and his inklings in UMNO.

In order to do this Muhyiddin must use judicious virtue, Machiavelli used the term criminal  virtue.  Simply ruthlessness.

We are not asking for Najib to be sawn into two but asking  for Najib to spend sabbatical in Sungai Buluh.  Or ban him from politics.

That includes axing civil servants  who behaved like little Napoleons.  Those who don't answer phones should be terminated. We the taxpayers have long tolerated their nonsense.

But the use of criminal virtue must be what it is-judicious. They must be used sporadically to avoid being accused of mindless  brutality.

Action on Najib and the little  napoleons should be done once. After that use diversionary tactics-. Concerts, Public  Shows, lower taxes, financial incentives  etc. Let people think you are an effective  leader.

Very often, being a good politician and a good person involves moral trade-offs, -to be a good politician  often means you have to abandon being a good person.

I am afraid  that's the problem with PH people -wanting  to be a good person  and a good politician.  In the end they failed.

They want to celebrate differences, they wan to give opposition  air time.  It's not our business to allow the opposition  to undermine us. We must be ruthless.

I have said it before -we don't have to be apologetic to the Bukit Tunku Bolsehviks the Hampstead liberals, the Gucci communists, the Country Heights, Café Latte socialists-just do  it!

So we must not think politicians as sly underhanded or manoeuvring but rather, my friends, are they effective?

Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc.

Najib 's articulations through  the social media  will invite  comments.  Having made the bed he must now lie on it. His  comments must not  go unchallenged.

Najib  has made some presumptuous  remarks  regarding  PH's performance.  His insolence is typical of a feudal overlord who is accountable  to no one.

Najib lambasted  PH for:-

1. Breaking its promises of appointing  politicians  to GLCs
2. Not fulfilling  its election promises
3. Messing up the  economy.

I answered points 1 and 2 in my article. See my link below.
The government  made political appointments not because Najib said so but because it is pragmatic to do so.

"It's Business, nothing personal"

I will answer part 3 in a separate article.

Najib seems to think that if some things are not thought  by him they couldn't  happen. Sorry Najib, don't be a narcissist.

As to Najib's prognosis  of our economy Najib  is no Cassandra.  Our economy will be as it is not Because  of Najib but in spite of Najib.  Tuan,  the world will move on without you!
How  clever can  Najib  be?

The last time I checked, the present government  is a coalition  between Muhyiddin's Bersatu faction and what remains of UMNO!.  And Najib is left out!
Najib is just  being sour grapish or bringing coal to Newcastle.

So why is Najib  railing against  PH when it is no longer the government? Najib is kicking  a dead horse.
Najib is envious that the train has left him, or he is suffering from talak mad he is no longer the PM.
Stand down commandant!

Just because Muhyiddin seems to replicate many of Najib's policies does not mean Najib caused them. Don't suffer from post hoc ergo propter hoc syndrome.

When Najib was a pm, he was not interested in our economy:, it was collateral to him.  He was more interested  to turn Malaysia  into a giant ATM machine!

So stop and desist Najib. Don't infect us with the post hoc ergo propter hoc virus! No, thank you.

Malaysia's King Louis and Marie Antoinette.

Suddenly there is a flood of subjects written on  the Bonnie and Clyde couple of Malaysia.

I am afraid none are complimentary. We cannot say we don't agree, but  we don't do the extremes.

We are not interested to know who was Rosmah's first husband, by the way Aziz Nong Chik was my colleague in shell.

I once brought Aziz  to see a Tun,  I introduced who Aziz was.  The Tun responded by congratulating  Aziz!

We are not interested to know that a former CM was the one who introduced Rosmah to Najib.

We are not interested to know that Rosmah was once an ugly duckling who turned into a swan and whose overriding ambition was to marry Najib.
Or she was called a ''puaka'' woman  and  her siblings  did not talk to her for years.

We are certainly  not interested to know that her hormonal  pills cost 1 million a pack. 
Of course now she is like Siberia-everybody knows  where it is but no one  wants to go there!

But we are interested to know how she fleeced money from companies doing business in Malaysia. We are interested how she demanded money from the China company building  the ECRL here.

As far as Najib is concerned we are not interested to know he humiliated Rosmah a few times.
We are not interested  to know he mistreated his first wife and called her gila babi or sporadic bonkers.
We don't care two hoots if he had a good time with Altantuya which he did.

But we are interested how Malaysia's King Louis and Marie Antoinette got their billions.
The only châteaux befitting them are at Sungai Buluh and Kajang. Adieu!

We must know what this degenerate  pair want-they want honour and adulation.

Ignore the fact Najib made an Oath in a mosque. What is an oath to a liar. Najib is a congenital  menace, when he was a kid, visitors to Sri Taman were often shocked.  When visitors came to see Tun Razak young Najib would be upstairs.  He would throw objects at these visitors. Najib is  sadistic! One shouldn't  be surprised  when he called  people ' haramjadah' and ' papa kedana'

I was amused when there was a political commentator who gave a basket list of parameters on why Muhyiddin chose Najib 's style over Tun M.

Muhyiddin did no such thing.  Really he is isolating Najib. He has said he will not interfere with the due process of law in response to questiions when Najib will be arrested.
Najib and Rosie will get what they deserved.

But don't believe me wholly,  there are  those who say I employ  ghost writers. See if they can imitate my style.

They also say my writings are crap.  That's an insult to my intelligence and almost 27 million  others who read my crap.

As, they say res ipsa loquitor!

Najib's Crab Teaching Muhyiddin How To Walk.

Crab-teaching.

Najib's crab must be the only crab which can walk straight. There's a Malay saying that says if your nose is not pointed don't push your cheeks.  But that is what Najib is unashamedly doing.

Najib tells Muhyiddin don't do as stupid PH did. Do like his UMNO did is it?

There's the sword of Damocles pointing at his heart.  He faces a myriad of court cases. Sungai Buluh Hilton beckons him. He is free to revive the 'Tin Mine'...his unsolicited advice does not earn him brownie points.

Perhaps  his unsolicited  advice  gives a brief  orgasm to the servile bossku followers. Still, it does not absolve him from the billions he stole from  our treasury. Perhaps its possible to take a class action against him.

Indeed, the court should order Najib  to compensate the government for the billions lost. Najib must commit seppuku just  as Mishima did. But Najib is not an honourable person.

Nobody  Gives a rat's ass what Najib says. It's his attempt to stay relevant. If we remember correctly he was the one who fired Muhyiddin.

So Najib can continue giving  unsolicited comments to stay relevant.  His only means of staying  relevant is to install pliant and equally corrupt people like the Java man Wak Jahid!

But subtle as it is, it means that UMNO is making him irrelevant  as it should.
I am not  worried about  future inmate Najib  but  will continue  to expose his hypocrisy.

UMNO determines what it is by what it does correctly.  The correct  thing to do is making people  like Najib and his minions irrelevant!

But why should I be concerned with what UMNO does to salacious Najib?
It's not about UMNO or Najib. It's about saving millions of Malays from being duped!

It's business, nothing personal.

There is a parody that described Muhyiddin as a permissive father. Good for him.
But I hope that does not include to mean he will excuse Najib.  He's a Poor excuse of a man.

After what Najib has done, he cannot be called a Human being. The man is a bloody thief! Commiting the heist of  the century.  He's the billion dollar whale! It's a crying shame that some people still hold him in high esteem. They must suffer from some mad cow disease.

I hope Muhyiddin is not that pliable blob of a putty!

Having said that, I would like to know has there been an appreciable increase in value when we appoint non politicians to head GLCs?
I see none.

So Muhyiddin should revert to appointing politicians to head GLCs and the like. They have the political nuance and some are highly educated.

Appointing politicians is also one form of rewarding loyal politicians who are not appointed ministers.

On the flip side, why is Muhyiddin appointing so many senators as ministers? For instance the finance minister maybe a top notch-banker, but it is a mistake to think that his credentials are transferable.

I also hope Muhyiddin does not go soft on ECRL project. Remember it was Tun Daim who negotiated the cost downwards. That suggests the inflated price was done by someone. The scandal maybe bigger  than 1MDB!

It was rumoured that Kak Ros demanded she be paid money for per metre line built! And Najib got paid seperately.  Clearly, Najib and Rosmah is the Malaysian  Bonnie and Clyde couple.

It's better for the IGP to arrest this Couple than start a new set of  IP on Dr Mahathir, Tun Daim and LGE. Don't distract us on a wild goose chase.

Its business, nothing personal.

Apart from that I have no quarrel with TSMY. He has announced  a slew of financial relief.
To some these may just be charmed offensive or crowd pleasing populism.

But the pièce de résistance of all these, he understands what the people want.

The people must FEEL they are cared for and protected. The financial  relief showed  the people  they are cared for.

The measures taken by the government against COVID-19,.show the people they are protected.
The actions against Najib  and Rosmah showed people they are protected against  the avarice and capriciousness  of a sham leader and his missus.

Contrast this with what took place during the previous  PH government.  People feel constricted  and suffocated.

The Finance Minister was over close-fisted, the weekly revision of petrol prices placed people in turmoil.  Each person has got personalised  agenda

The PH people patted their backs having fulfilled  70% of their promises. People don't care. They wanted  to know whether tolls are abolished, PTPTN forgiven, etc.

I am convinced  therefore TSMY's government  will endure.
