The14 Benedict Arnolds and power grab in N9.

1. If all 14 of UMNO ADUN left the NS government, it's a reflection of what we expect from UMNO

2. UMNO is hunting the hare while running with the hounds

3. It's piggy riding PH, rebuilding it's strength to eventually regain federal power.

4 . That's why some analysts or really some just reached puberty FB operatives are saying Zahid 47 will be PM 11.

5. These people can continue reading tea leaves, chicken entrails and sliced lime in a basin and fantasized wak47 as PM 11.

6. To some superstitious malays,11 is the symbol of tombstones on the grave.

7. perhaps it will bring the end of UMNO. UMNO now has about 30% Malay support despite boasting young people are flocking to UMNO.

8. Now back to the action of the 14 Benedict Arnolds of UMNO.

9. Their action is the height of betrayal of the trust of the people .

10. It also go against the spirit of camaraderie and loyalty to PH.

11. One cannot fault PN/PAS for taking advantage of the crisis. It's their function

12. The more important question is what UMNO HQ going to do about it.

13. Nobody believes the playacting by Zahid feigning innocence and giving us mad Alfie, what me know .

14. It's impossible for something momentous like this, isn't in the knowledge of wak.

15. It is most likely part of UMNO's machinations to undercut PH.

16. A leopard never changes it's spots and a snake is assumed to be venomous. And UMNO is a bloody snake.

17. The action of the 14 goons in NS is a microcosm of what is designed by UMNO HQ.

18. It piggy rides on PH, rebuilding it's strength and ultimately wants to regain power and form the next government.

19. Once it achieves that, it will free one kleptocrat in chief, cleans wak and most probably send brother Anwar to jail.

20. Just look at what wak is doing . He's less interested in developing rural areas but more interested in placing his kakis in glcs and institutions having access of support from Malays.

21. MARA, felda, risda, etc. don't be taken in by his apeish grin

22. Rather than diverting attention to on people, let's see if Zahid is willing to sack the 14 Benedict Arnolds.

23. If he is not willing, then he is in cahoots with the gang of 14.

24. Machiavelli warned us a long time ago, it's a fatal mistake to invite the enemy to share political power with you.

25. And UMNO is always the enemy.

26. As to what steps the MB will do, as a person on the ground, he knows better.

Counting our blessings. Devil's advocate series no 16.

1. You know, many of us suffer from the impatience of an eager beaver.

2. We feel frustrated, agitated and want all the wrongs accumulated during the times of Mahathir to mahiadin and the forgettable Ismail sabri to be corrected instantly by Anwar, right now. 

3. That's nigh impossible. Rome wasn't built in 1 day. 

4. Or to use a more earthy example, a friend used to tell me, even taking a piss takes time. 

5. For the man, you've you got to unfly the zip, take your bird of the underpants, points the bird correctly at the urinals and bombs away. 

6. Hence you insist that Anwar correct the excesses and the wrongs over 70 years in 3 years? 

7. Tablay, mana boleh itu maciam, tamby, mapillay dei! 

8. Sometimes, I too am caught in the surge and onrush of the tidal wave of impatience. Everything now. 

9. Because of our own political awareness and consciousness, the opinions shaped by just reached puberty FB and TikTok operators, out of eagerness and frustration - we go nitpicking on brother Anwar aka pak sheikh. 

10. We don't like the way he walks, the way he talks, everything about him , the way he takes to the phone, his showy and braggodacios personality and so on. 

11. I for instance, dislike his walk which is like the trot of an energetic dog. For the simple reason, I can never walk as fast as him . 

12. So we want to have the whole pot reduced to a cup about him. 

13. Hence many quarters spread the false stories that a GE will be called soon. Maybe by end year. 

14. Don't get bamboozled by these people. They are probably those who think they can win. UMNO, PN and others. 

15. The longer the GE is, a lot more of their hypocrisy will be exposed. 

16. A friend WA me to say, when is there a time when governance has no problems? 

17. That homely remark gave me a jolt 

18. At least we are not like America, we have our welfare system. At least we still have government hospitals. 

19. If we are like America or even like nearer home as Indonesia , the scruffy pas people wearing kopiah will be howling having to pay a leg to enter hospitals. 

20. Even then, they will be complaining the nurses wear skirts and tight pants. 

21. Most of us, having benefited from experiencing 70 years of excesses and wrongs demand Anwar to do the impossible -correct them in 3 years. 

22. Many of us , mocked and dismissed him , when he urged people to bersyukur and count our blessings simply because we dislike many things about him. 

23. These wrongs need time to be righted. Sabar itu subur, tak sabar masuk kubur. 

24. I think this should be the reasoning behind asking Anwar be given another term. Not the one liners and didactic sloganeering on FB. 

25. Don't make our impatience make him a one hit sensation. 

26. Or in a more understood now language, let not our ' premature ejaculation ' destroy him.

Titah and it's weaponization. Issue penternakan babi. Devil's advocate series no 15.

1. Saya telah sebut perihal 'patriotism' kepada raja dipinjam oleh puak reaksioner untuk membantai puak yang tidak setuju dengan mereka

2. Inilah respons lazim , typical response puak reaksioner, ultra rightists, Malay supremacists, UMNO, PN etc

3. Patriotism atau kesetiaan adalah milik mutlak mereka

4. Quotient kesetian orang lain,dihisab berdasarkan berapa hampir nya kesetiaan kita dengan kesetiaan definisi mereka.

5. Maka perlakuan ADUN Sri kembangan , dari sudut definisi kesetiaan puak2 reaksioner,adalah derhaka tahap 1

6. Atau dari sudut peñyakit kanser , tahap 4. Tapi masa bisa sembuh total dengan perubatan wak J-Jamban.

7. Perlakuan ADUN Sri kembangan telah mengundang pelbagai response nista serta bellicose daripada puak2 reaksioner, ultra rightists, Malay supremacists serta racists.

8. Celaan serta nista yang paling venomous atau beracun datang , tentunya Dari puak UMNO.

9. Seperti biasalah,tokoh2 UMNO got too big for their britches atau breeches .

10. Pengucapan mereka conceited, angkuh,cocky sombong , bongkak dll

11. Dari pekikan durhaka, tak tahu adat melayu, biadap serta gesaan keluar Selangor kalau tak suka. Fuuh!

12. Sedangkan realitinya, tindakan tongong mereka mendedahkan sultan Selangor kepada dikusi yang unnecessary.

13. Agaknya puak UMNO ini mendapat orgasmic pleasure bila orang ramai mengulangi peranan serta kedudukan raja dalam perlembagaan kita

14. Seolah olah mereka dapat keseronokan bila orang mengingatkan bahawa monarchy kita adalah constitutional monarchy.

15. Atau titah atau ucapan sultan adalah panduan,nasihat, teguran yang patut dihormati.

16. Bukan perintah yang absolute yang mempunyai force of law.

17. Sultan Selangor telah bertitah atau bercakap mengenai larangan mebela babi di Selangor.

18. Titah sultan Selangor mengundang pelbagai response. Semua betul , hanya response UMNO saja yang tongong.

19. MB Selangor sebagai contoh memilih melihat titah atau ucapan sultan Selangor sebagai panduan, nasihat, teguran yang patut dihormati. And has acted accordingly.

20. Dia telah bertindak dengan pragmatism dan bukan confrontation.

21. Tapi itu tidak menyekat ADUN Sri kembangan melihat titah sultan Selangor dari sudut yang berlainan serta mengikut undang2.

22. Ms. Wong, ADUN Sri kembangan telah bercakap untuk rakyat Selangor yang menternak serta memakan babi.

23. Dia telah bercakap mengenai kesamarataan keatas penternak Dan mecadangkan penternakan babi cara modern,anti bau serta convert najis babi ke biogas.

24. Dia bukan bercakap pasal durhaka, rebellion atau penghapusan institusi raja.

25. Why should Ms Wong be demonised because she spoke on what is legally right?

26. Secara peribadi saya anggap larangan menternak babi sebagai shortsighted. Tidak setuju ye, bukan durhaka!

27. Saya menyeru semua bukan melayu serta melayu yang rasional serta cintakan demokrasi, jangan undi UMNO

28. Ia akan weaponize segala nya

29. Ia weaponized race , religion dan kesetiaan kepada raja .

30. Beberapa analysts dilapurkan bekata issue penternakan babi ini menjejaskan DAP.

31. Kita tak tahu ini fikiran analysts dari negara antah berantah atau atau propaganda kabilah FB.

32. Ya, ia tidak akan endear DAP kepada golongan reaksioner, ultra rightists, Malay supremacists, UMNO dll. But who cares?

33. Tapi Ms Wong telah galvanized non Malay support.

Patriotism is the refuge of tyranny. Devil's advocate series no 14.

1. Samuel Johnson said, patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

2. I would make some adaptations about what Leo Tolstoy said regarding this. 

3. He said patriotism means plundering. 

4. I would say patriotism is the first excuse to plunder 

5. The state uses patriotism to ask ordinary people to impoverish themselves for the splendour and the decadent life of the elite, the aristocrats. 

6. The elite leverages on the blind support of ordinary for their interests. 

7. That is why somebody said, to say someone is patriotic is an insult and a disrepute. Deserving of odium, contempt and public revulsion. 

8. Because it can mean that person is a plunderer. 

9. In Malaysia, only 1 party unashamedly uses patriotism for it nefarious and víle ends. 

10. That political party is UMNO. Patriotism is used to justify plundering, theft and everything it wants . 

11. Patriotism to UMNO is no longer restrictions to love and loyalty to the country and to other socially accepted parameters chosen by UMNO

12. But more importantly, its love and loyalty to UMNO and it's leaders. 

13. Sure, the ordinary UMNO people get their 10 minute-fame at the PAU cracking jokes and making rhetorical speeches, but that's about it. 

14. They get free lunches and perhaps entertained by concerts. 

15. Giving credence to the saying originating since roman times, bread and circuses make people happy and contented. 

16. Coincidentally, maybe the Romans learnt the trick from the Malays who taught them shipbuilding. 

17. But the plunder and the sakau are being carried out by UMNO leaders, elite and neo feudals. 

18. Hiding behind the much heralded slogan of PATRIOTISM. 

19. The proposition asking us to be patriotic is a proposition fraught with dangers 

20. We ought to be weary and circumspect of it. We are asked to look the other way, while people and leaders asking us to be patriotic plunder, steal and do all nefarious and vile deeds , carry out harmful policies that suppress and oppress and so on 

21. Let me give you a recent example. One that looked innocent on the surface but actually has deeper bad implications. Silly, oppressive and bad economics . 

22. The case of BYD refused license to open up CKD plant in T.malim. 

23. It's patriotic because the refusal protect domestic player like proton and Perodua. 

24. Syabas and takbir say the petai eating Malay supremacists. A patriotic move, BYD is from China anyway. The car seats maybe pig skinned. Haram! 

25. I am asking people to be rational. BYD isn't competing with makers like proton and Perodua. 

26. It's competing with makers of range Rover, Audi , VW, Honda, Toyota, Ford and even Mercedes. 

27. The refusal is oppressive, repressive, irrational and economically unduly constraining 

28. Because the refusal deprives people from getting access to a reliable brand with low maintenance. 

29. But we are told to be patriotic. 'ita so goot ' Awang San. Hait! Jolly good. Jawohl! 

30. In Brazil, BYD was blacklisted because of its labor practises, not for it's manufacturing and technology prowess. 

31. What happened to BYD in Malaysia is an example of tyranny hidden behind patriotism. Indeed, patriotism is misused for other purposes too. 

32. Racial patriotism leads to the imposition of master race on other races. Recently , it also led to the attribution of superman qualities onto Malays by intellectual fraud. 

33 . Economic patriotism justified economic grab and predation of businesses owned by non malays 

34. It has led to the unchecked expansion of central command economic measures or ' solution' 

35. A supervisory body consisting of politicians and 'gas chamber' komandants give licenses, monopolies and untendered contracts to picked and chosen individuals . 

36. Religious 'patriotism' has led to bigotry and outright tyranny. 

37. It has led for example to the maniacal claimed to be evangelical, destruction of temples. 

38. In the name of fairness and justice, I have asked this question. 

39. Many suraus were also built on government trespassed land; will these be mercilessly demolished? 

40. Patriotism to king has been borrowed to enforce authoritarian and dictatorial impulses.

Reformasi in the economy. Part 3. Devil's advocate series no 13.

1. If the PKR people think reformasi is the shouting and shrieking part, it's misplaced enthusiasm and excitement.

2. It's not about getting mass feel good feeling or hysterical orgasm - the doing part is more important 

3. It must be the surgical overthrow of the 'ancient regime', it's political culture and in this particular instance, the specific economic model 

4. An economic model based on 3 principal elements. 

5. A pick and choose business model which is discretionary , depending on the leaders' despotism and never principle based. 

6. Buttressed by a host of preferential treatment and affirmative policies. Challenge to them is regarded defiance, disloyalty and unpatriotic. It's essentially class protection. 

7. It's a model based on the zero sum principle. Non Malays can only gain, by depriving Malays economic opportunities. 

8. The enabling superstructure is of course, central command economics. 

9. That is why, you see most civil servants mythified as technocrats are cocky bastards 

10. This pick and choose winners economic model must be done away with. Just so you wouldn't think we are envious these people got rich because the government picked and chose them, we will give economic rationale 

11. This model prevents the rise of resilient, competent and genuine entrepreneurs in the economy 

12. This holds back the Malay economy as the genuine entrepreneurs, not artificially created ones from emerging. 

13. The pick and choose economic model creates a new putera class from the bumiputera hoi poloi. 

14. The putera class is incapable or rather do not want to produce the trickle down effects expected of them by the voodoo economics planners 

15. They are more interested in lining their own pockets rather than uplifting the lot of their fellow beings 

16. Uplifting others are only spoken words by sly politicians wanting to calm them and secure their support 

17. Have you seen these puteras helping out the bumis? 

18. Empirical evidence will show ,the income disparity between the T20 and the B40 remains unchanged. 

19. The average monthly income of the T40 is now probably RM12000 while the average monthly income of the B40 is around 2000 Ringgit. 

20. The income disparity between interracial and intraracial will likely remain because we got it wrong with our basic economic model. 

21. As long as the pick and choose winners economic model remains, there will be no economic redress. 

22. From the heydays of this economic model ( starting from the days of Mahathir) till now, our economic set up remains unchanged 

23. Now, we have the chosen and picked like bestinet, nexG and others that carry the pick and choose flag. 

24. After enjoying initial successes, they will eventually fail because the patronage with which they initially grew is no more. 

25. Most of those picked and chosen by Mahathir failed. The same fate or end awaits those now nurtured by Anwar. It's destiny. 

26. They failed because their strengths and competences were built exogenously instead of endogenously . 

27. If the 2nd line leaders in PKR especially and PH in general, don't realise that economic reformasi require a radical change in the basic pick and choose winners economic model, things will remain status quo. 

28. How can there be? If these leaders don't know and understand what economic reformasi entails, how can they in turn communicate what are the changes needed? 

29. I have been saying this repeatedly, if these leaders approach their portfolios, without a reformasi state of mind, things will be the same. 

30. We must also reject the zero sum mentality. 

31. We can't go around with the idea, that economic gains by non malays mean depriving and robbing Malays of economic opportunities 

32. That would mean that we are at constant loggerheads. Instead of finding ways to expand the economic cake, we are always fighting over an assumed constant economic pie. 

33. That by the way, is the economic thinking that predicates the economic agenda of UMNO and the Malay supremacists. 

34. Therefore there are valid reasons to do away with the zero sum mentality. It at once remove the
source of much racial tensions as well as prevent the overall decrease of national productivity. 

35. There's an added incentive to do away with the zero sum mentality. It removes the arsenal from parties like UMNO from using the technique to gaslight Malays. 

36. The zero sum mentality and the pick-and-choose- winners economic model come together in the embrace of Central command economics. 

37. This is the belief that the greatest of economic achievements are determined by the dictates of central command, i.e. by politicians and bureaucratic brahmins. 

38. Accordingly the politicians and bureaucratic brahmins focus not on economic achievements but on the rules and clauses that permit them to regulate and control. 

39. Rather than finding ways to secure economic achievements, the focus is on preferential clauses, affirmative clauses, entitlement clauses etc. Form over substance . Insisting adherence to these are more important than real economic achievements 

40. To me, economic reformasi involved 3 basic things. 

41. Getting rid of the politically motivated pick -choose-winners economic model, get rid of the zero sum mentality, and most important of all getting rid of the restraints imposed by central command economics. 

42. My verdict: sorry sir, no economic reformasi. It's more of the same.

Reformasi in the economy. Part 2. Devil's advocate series no 12.

1 . The PM is always shrieking about eliminating corruption . It's an unending fight against the sakau culture

2. We have no doubt that the PM is serious about it. Ventilating and harranguing about it is good. But the doing part is the more important part .

3. And it's the easier part. Charge someone and humban dia in jail

4. Although the humban part may take a long time. It may take 20 years for the courts to ascertain the elephant is not the hunted gazelle.

5. Even then the criminals use every trick in the book to see wriggle out.

6. The Javanese primate who has 47 charges and ruled to have a prima facie case, persuaded the AG to propose a DNAA. The kleptocrat in chief is trying to persuade the king to give him a pardon

7. Some argued the DNAA is lawful. It may be so but is it right?

8. What is legal may not be right after all.

9. Apart from these moot points, the fight against corruption seemed to be discretionary, unfocused and more vindictive

10. Regrettably, we are not here to discuss the moot points

11. We are here to discuss the area where reformasi is more needed-the economy.

12. An area, where I am inclined to repeat what James Carville said- it's the economy, stupid.

13. Or the area mentioned by Machiavelli a long time ago- we assess the leader in terms of his ability to prosper the nation .

14. The UMNO way to Malay economic prosperity is to create a coterie of crony capitalists .

15. It's Bush senior's definition of voodoo economics

16. Well not quite voodoo economics of Reagan for Reagan at least targeted the rich

17. Here, it's a bastardized version of voodoo economics. Pick and choose any mat, awang and dol. Give them monopolies, licenses contracts and so.

18. They got to be mollycoddled because they can kneel down and cry and maybe blanja the bureaucratic brahmins to patronize ah bengs massat parlor for manhood massat.

19. Businessmen were given the preferential treatment not because of their competencies or expertise but because of their cunningness, rapaciousness which induce subjective judgement calls from the grand deep state people

20. 2 seeds of destruction are already planted in the pick and choose model of economic winners

21. 1st, the lack of competencies. 2ndly, subjective judgement calls from the grand deep state.

22. This pick and choose economic model originated from UMNO's preferential and affirmative policies. Made as mainstream economic model by Dr Mahathir.

23. As a result, you have the riff raff and the bottom feeders of society getting prominence. Enjoy initial business success but eventually going under.

24. UMNO also operates on the zero sum principle. Economic gains by non malays are taken as depriving and minus-ing economic opportunities for Malays.

25. This behavior violates a basic principle of economic productivity.

26. Which is, factors of production cooperate and work with each other to increase productivity

27. Economic actors cooperate and work with each other to.increase productivity.

28. Being in constant uncooperative state or in economic antagonism, productivity and general economic gains take a dive.

29. But that's ok. The Malays are accustomed to work below par and operate on the levels of mediocrity.

30. I can already see the neurotic responses of these people especially the Malay supremacists and UMNO people.

31. I, a Malay is not Malay enough, not patriotic enough. Wait till you see the parang terbang etc.

32. These, sirs, are typical caveman responses.

33. Are the PKR people, howling the customary reformasi, lawan tetap lawan membujur lalu melintang patah going to change the premises of the existent business model?

34. Will it be change or more of the same? That will be in part 3.

Reformasi in the economy. Part 1. Devil's advocate series no 11.

1. It was reported this. The government is looking forward to 10 Malay IPOs. They want to create 500m Malay noveu rich

2. When I read this, I know that economic reformasi is fake

3. If the malays are good, why do they need assistance from the government?

4. This is what you get, when you believe that the greatest economic achievements come from the dictates of central command economics

5. The truth is, the greatest of economic achievements result from private enterprise operating under a system of free market economics.

6. Sunway did not grow big because some bureaucrats in Putrajaya guided it's growth

7. The Kuok group does not become big because Amir Hamzah and gang bridesmaid them

8. Similarly, the IOI group doesn't become big because some bureaucrats in Putrajaya tell them what to do

9. On the other hand, as comparison, look at how most of the bumi companies got big.

10. They got big because they were given exclusive licences, monopolies and were given direct businesses by the government

11. They got big from the assistant of what I called the grand deep state.

12. A deep state is the collusion between high government officials and the business community

13. A grand deep state occurs when the is collusion between high government officials AND political leaders and the business community.

14. You think a Bangla can become a big taiko and towkay without the grand deep state?

15. Or nexG becomes a billion ringgit business without the grand deep state?

16. Or the man who rented helicopters to PETRONAS, Syed Mokhtar presently, others got big without the grand deep state?

17. Even NAFAS- can it evolve into a company of leisure and decadent wealth supplying fertiliser nobody wants if not assisted by the grand deep state?

18. Let's get real- this will be a contest between central command economics and free market economics .

19. The companies that thrive for the moment because of central command economics will eventually fail

20. Because they evolved not though building organic competencies but grew because they are hand guided by the grand deep state

21. On the other hand, company that grew because of internal competencies will endure .

22. What happened when 1 day, anvar ebraheem decides to remove the grand deep state and removed monopolies, licenses and so on?

23. The companies that thrive for the time being because of patronage, will go kaput!

24. Will the PM realise that this way of economic growth by the dictates of central command economics and through the grand deep state is the UMNO way?

25. The first step on the road of economic reformasi begins by unfollowing the UMNO way!
