Anwar between needs and wants.

1. Anwar WANTS to become PM for another term because :- 

2. He wants to carry out wide ranging reforms. 

3. He wants to make good the promises he made 

4. He wants to clean up the government. Good governance is his slogan 

5. He wants to weed out corruption 

6. He wants to prosper the country 

7. He wants political stability. 

8. And other things expected from a good government 

9. First thing first. He must retain and restore the faith of people in him that he is indeed a reformer 

10. That faith has been shattered somewhat 

11. Because of his vacillation, his to-ing and fro-ing, his plasticity as it were. 

12. With your indulgence, a little digression if you may 13. Anwar has always struck me as hollow and just a liberal bourgeoisie 

14. When he was at UM, he was president of PMUM and PBMUM 

15. He was able to attract like minded liberal bourgeoisie too to his cause. 

16. He was a gifted orator then and still is 

17. As I have said, birds would perch on his palms to eat and girls would strip in front of him 

18. In the 1970s late, during my time, when he came to campus, these things happened 

19. His off campus supporters who came and students who gawked at his legend, kowtowed to him 

20. Tudung clad girls would swoon over him and imagined him to be their bf . 

21. He was and is a crowd puller. That I give to him and respected him for that. Salute! 

22. But despite these arsenal and the smarmy compliments given to him by his minions on the internet, I never held him in an exalted position 

23. His cause at that time was Islam, race and any miseries imagined suffered by the Malays 

24 . That exalted estimation, I gave another person, komrad Kassim Ahmad. 

25. An unassuming and a personable fellow, the quintessential socialist 

26. Not belittling Anwar, he has all my respects save exalted estimation. 

27. It was more of historical sentimentalism for me 

28. In 1974, when I was in lower 6, I traveled from my hometown Kuantan to Kemaman 

29. In that year, Kassim was competing in a by election against Mustapha Ali. 

30. Kassim arrived at the premises of the rapat umum in a beat up VW. 

31. In those days, it was called a rapat umum not as now, a ceramah 

32. Kassim wasn't a fiery speaker . The fiery one who accompanied him was Hasnul Hadi. 

33. His low key and muted pull factors were more valuable to me, an incorrigible lefty, than the pompous pull factors 

34 . In assessing Anwar's wants we must look at them in perspective 

35. Kassim Ahmad said figuratively, that Anwar should be hanged 

36. Karpal Singh said Anwar has done enough damage to the country 

37. So, we mustn't look at Anwar's wants with rose tainted lenses.

Anwar between needs and wants.

1. Anwar should not elevate them to importance more than they deserved. 

2 . As political or special secretaries, they have done enough damage to Anwar. Through their machinations 

3 . By now, we ought to have realised that people around Anwar consist of not only political activists but also careerists-secretarists/sakau-ists, special officers etc .

4. They are busier at being gatekeepers collecting tolls 

5. Looking around us, the coterie of secretaries, special officers etc are the actual manipulative bastards 

6. They are the ones acting lebih pasak dari tiang and acting the tea spoon is bigger than the dinner spoon. 

7. Let's test this hypothesis -investigate all the secretaries, special officers at Zahid's ministry to see whether they have skimmed the top. That could explain the budget overruns there 

8. If they fit the bill, then you can generalize that as a rule, all secretaries and special officers are potential gate keepers collecting tolls 

9. If they aspire for higher positions like ADUNs or MPs, rule them out 

10. You have not tested their political mettle yet 

11. It's not a good idea to elevate them to importance like becoming ADUNs or MPs while they are serving as your staff 

12. They are then hunting with the hounds and running with the hare or drinking while diving 

13. While serving as your staff, everything is hunky dory. They yes suh to everything you say 

14. They get patronage and resources from the office they hold 

15 . With those they can oblige what people want. They are treated like living gods. It's impossible for you to judge their true character 

16. It's better for you to ask them to resign well before pru16 

17. Ask them to do political work. See whether they can galvanize support for the PM 

18. The PM really needs to reshape PKR into a lean mean and hungry fighting machine 

19. This will enable him to form a United front against the fascism of UMNO and PIS 

20. If he fails to do this, then the DAP in particular, must come to terms that it will have to deal with an increasingly weakening PKR 

21. One that will become the sick man of PH and will drag the DAP to more dismal results. 

22. PKR has already shown the bleak outcome in Johor and N9. Let's hope it can redeem itself in Melaka 

23. If push comes to shove, the DAP MUST consider going solo in pru16. Forming a pre-electoral pact with PKR and AMANAH before pru16 

24. That brings me, to 2 other things Anwar needs to do 

25. Anwar, as leader of PH must form solid camaraderie between PH partners. There must be frequent meeting of minds between them 

26. PH must consider also forming a broad united front with other parties against the fascism of UMNO and PAS. 

27. Remember, the enemy to my enemy is a friend. 

28. Finally, Anwar needs to get rid of UMNO 

29. UMNO is the black mamba of Malaysian politics. It's hiding to strike at Anwar when the time opportunity comes 

30. I am reminded of the pragmatic advice of Signor Machiavelli, that it's a grave mistake to invite your political enemy to share political power with you. 

31. The enemy is always UMNO!

Anwar's political needs.

1. When I was a 6th former, our economics teacher gave us a homespun wisdom which i remember till today 

2. Studying economics is like putting up a brick wall 

3 . You have to lay brick by brick. i.e., you understand its principles 

4. You don't claim you know econs, when for you, 1+1=3 . 1 for you, 1 for the introducer and 3 for me 

5. Apparently that's the economics some people practised at TH 

6. But shhh, you can't talk about it for that would dedahkan aib melayu Dan isle.. 

7. Says one defunct mullah after eating kopok lekor and ikang jerook 

8. But that's another story requiring telling at another time 

9. A very pertinent home spun principle, the economics teacher taught us, was to distinguish between needs and wants 

10. Most pertinent for one anvar ebraheem. That eye brow raising, veins in the neck bulging, talk till blue in the face son of a gun, ranting incessantly about sakau makau. 

11. Yes , that son of a gun who crosses every 't' and dots every 'i' with every awang mamat and dol 

12. Needs are what you require to survive 

13. Wants are what you desire to make your life more accomplished provided you remove as many constraints as possible (the independent variables or parameters). 

14. Nana nons political needs are 

15. He must win again in Tambun or a target area in pru16. 

16. In order to win, he needs to secure the support there 

17. He needs to touch base, grease palms . Or he needs to place a team with a team leader, not just 1 person to do skunk work 

18. You unthinking PKR bozos, don't take this lightly 

19. If the boss loses and bites the dust, you eat gravel and some end up in prison 

20. Once upon a time , when Najib won pekàñ with a majority of 241 votes, that scared him. 

21. He quickly rectified the situation by going back to Pekan every week 

22. Attending functions A, B,C. Officiating events X Y Z, including opening public toilet in kampungs 

23. He's willing to do anything necessary including shit work 

24. So you, unthinking dolts around PKRs leader, don't take this lightly 

25. You must do all that is necessary and creative to fortify Anwar 

26. Don't think Anwar can secure support of people in X area by the nauseating self promotion blitzes 

27. Or appearing disheveled hair, darked face, cauliflower nosed 

28. Speaking in antiquated language liked by PMIUM , PBMUM people and fans of Rose Chan 

29. So, buck up! 

30. Detached from the people, these young aides, drunk with power will create misery for Anwar 

31. Anwar needs to reshape PKR into a lean mean and hungry fighting machine 

32. When I see the people around Anwar, I am reminded of what Machiavelli said 

33. The 1st test to estimate the intelligence of the leader is to see the quality of people around him 

34. With the recent purge, the residue left is unwanted roughage 

35. It's a losers galore in PKR 

36. The deputy president lost in the last GE and has now gone AWOL. Saifuddin Nasution lost. Fuziah quick mouth Saleh lost. TZA lost 

37. The losers want to talk about winning ways for PKR? 

38. Oh I know, we'd rather listen to the junky looking Deputy minister who's currently embroiled in the PTPTN good issue 

39. He said the situation which PKR now faces is like the ending of a Tamil movie 

40. The hero always win at the end. Ada butot ka? 

41. When I see the material around Anwar now, I am inclined to say like my neighbor Achi said ,ayoyo, amama, apapa-pohchee! 

42. As much as I detest and don't want to entertain the idea that Anwar become a 1 song hit wonder, the forces trending him becoming 1 are unstoppable 

43. Like the indonesianssay, oh my gott! Kok bisa? Gimana sih?

Anwar and his moronic cytros. Or they don't make old school journalists anymore.

1. Many of us wonder where does Anwar get his cyber troopers? 

2. Or specifically where do his wet behind the ears officers get them? 

3. From the gutter of discarded material unwanted by UMNO? 

4. The material they put up on FB are all amateurish mythification of Anwar that make all want to puke 

5. You want to make Anwar a legend, cerdik sikit la 

6. One propaganda has it that Anwar is working tirelessly to prosper Malaysia 

7. Other than being at PMO, these people camped outside Anwars house to observe him 

8. Is working tirelessly unique only to Anwar? 

9. Mahathir worked tirelessly too. But he didn't have choir boys ululating his diligence, did he? 

10. 1 kleptocrat in chief worked tirelessly allowing 51b of our money to poof. 

11. One puffy PM worked tirelessly to pick and choose contractors to give billions worth of contracts 

12. And he gave us, Mads alfed Newman, what me know? 

13. One accidental PM, probably with a GRO at his side, had enough time to steal170 million 

14. So, don't use the phrase worked tirelessly 

15. You are not camping at PMOs office or outside his house to observe him 

16. I worked tirelessly too -at chasing willing girls. You all worked tirelessly too - at wanking yourselves 

17. I saw a FB short message that says Anwar MAY reaped the reformasi seeds he sowed 

18. The use of the term MAY suggests you are not certain. Whether the reformasi you speak of are achievable 

19. The use of the term MAY also cancels out your exuberant insistence that Anwar be given another term 

20. Why give him another term if he is not certain the reformasi he talked about may only materialize? 

21. Anwar may not have actually said that . Maybe it's you all who have concocted the story 

22. To ready the people for frustrations 

23. They don't make old school journalists anyone 

24. Then, there is one FB short message that says Anwar prioritizes political stability so that investments can come in 

25. Pray tell, how should Anwar keep political stability? 

26. By giving UMNO what it wants? By exonerating all UMNO Corruptors? 

27. Because to expose them would membuka aib mereka. 

28. To steal is not shameless, to expose them is. What balderdash! 

29. To do so is a phyrric victory. 

30. So we bank our prosperity in investment? This is naive thinking typical of boys still visiting Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters . 

31. Besides investments, you prosper the country in serious thinking on how to push the country's PPC outwards 

32. It's a stupid strategy to depend on foreign profit seekers on your prosperity without developing indigenous economic strength 

33 . This requires among other things, moving into quality economy as opposed to quantity economy 

34 . You produce competitive goods in terms of quality not in terms of price 

35. Anwar has to do these reforms to at least start the agenda 

36. Reforms of educational superstructure. So the best talents of all races emerge to move into quality economy and a competitive one 

37. Reforms in physical infra 

38. Reforms in legal superstructure 

39. Weeding out corruption with legal paraquat. 

40. Eliminating nationalistic and religious extremism 

41. Don't forget the economic disparities between rural and urban areas.


42. Current you have a grinning imbecile in charge of rural development.


43. May God have mercy on us.

The hurdles to reformasi. Part 1.

1. Wong Chen, ex MP for subang, lamented the slow paced, tardiness and slothness of reforms that are taking place 

2. He cited this as one of the reasons he leaves PKR. That and the unspoken reason he thinks Anwar is one great bullshitter 

3. Ayoyo amama ah Chen, tablay itu maciam, mapillay! 

4 . Demo dah make budew cap bunga ros denge Ike keli bakar ko? 

5. By now Ah Chen ought to know that the great anvar ebraheem is only a charlatan 

6. When Schopenhauer says, when a man has nothing to be proud of, he's proud of his ethnicity translates into:- 

7. When a man has no substance, he's proud of his form . 

8. That form is unashamedly embellished by Anwar's moronic minders on the internet. 

9 . Which is so nauseating, we want to puke . 

10. He pretends to know economics, he doesn't know who's Friedman and who's Samuelson, except both are American Jews. 

11. He pretends to know management, he thinks Michael Porter and Harry Potter are the same persons 

12. He's a paper tiger! 

13. Ah Chen my friend, there are many reasons, explaining the slowness of reforms 

14. Could it be it's because Anwar doesn't know which areas to reform? 

15. But I believe Nana non knows the areas to reform but is prevented doing so by people surrounding him. 

16. First, by the young Turks whose voices are louder than the rest , preventing Anwar from going the whole 9 yards. 

17. For these people, retaining the status quo is more profitable 

18. For them the status quo and power are the gateways to riches 

19. They can become stealthier and craftier thieves 

20. And they can always hide their deficiencies behind claimed stiff opposition to full reformasi 

21. Secondly, Anwar is prevented from carrying out reformasi by the half past six Keynesian economists in the government. 

22. The people whose mantra is spend baby spend, spend until you drop! 

23 . Inflation and run away cost of living? 

24. Only a Friedmanite thinking bozo like sakmongkol thinks it's a problem. 

25. I want the DAP to think of a future PKR they will be dealing with 

.

26. The agenda of reformasi is not exclusively owned by PKR. PKR maybe it's own worst enemy 

27. Reformasi may get it's death knell from PKR itself! 28. The DAP, take note.

PKR -overrun by the too big for your britches brigade?

1. It's interesting when Anwar apologized. The deductions are infinite.

2. He openly apologized to the reformasi otais

3. Those who had chosen to leave or chose to remain invisible

4. He asked them to come back to the fold. To restore the party.

5. On his part, that's humility. A huge plus to him as our leader

6. But look at it from another angle. It's also an open admission of his displeasure at the direction PKR is shaped by the young guns

7. The tempestuous, the brash, cocky ones devoid of the reformasi mentality.

8. The ones who are the beneficiaries of the labour of the otais.

9. They are now scrambling at the feet of Anwar asking for the spoils of war

10. Some become gatekeepers blocking people from meeting Anwar, who is a people's man

11. These are people not quite of proper age, more interested in chasing women and other pleasures

12. These are people, whom one great politician says, succumbed to the edifying effects of getting gratuitous power

13. These are people who will make PKR actually earn the moniker parti kencing rakyat, parti klentong rakyat, parti kehampaan rakyat etc

14. Without restraining them Mr PM sir, the amber lights are flashing on you sir

15. Some of us have got actual experience in dealing with these delinquents

16. Being given the merry go round, lied to, rebuffed, given empty hopes, given the silent treatment etc

17. Like many, I have given up on these PKR yahoo boys

18. Serve notice that we the people reserve our right to reject these obtrusive and cocky young guns

19. And I for one will have the sad but satisfying pleasure of running down these 'too big for your britches ' brigade

20. It's not for nothing that Anwar apologized and asked the reformasi otais to come back

21. Anwar knows that the now PKR needs temperance, moderation, sobriety and so on.

22 . If not, after Anwar, who wants to listen to the young cikus?

23. It's like going to a majlis bertunang. You need the older to be the spokesman and add respectability to the rombongan.

24. Being older is indeed gold!

In sixes and sevens. The PKR situation.

1. In the previous article , don't dilute and emasculate the iron resolve to weed out corruption by feeble actions

2. After the RCI on TH, felda/fgv will be next

3. These are robust and fighting words, more meaning when followed by equally robust and fighting actions.

4. Having said it so many times, we want to see action and Anwar wants to give it

5. Anwar has to go the whole 9 yards. For there are many more

6. * IMDb -51b TH 13b felda/fgv 13b* pkfz 12.5b * khazanah* KWAP etc.

7. And since Nana non mentioned helis that could not fly and submarines that couldn't submerge , investigate the army purchases

8. Who took delivery of these metal scraps?

9. The elimination of these shenanigans require iron willed resolve from the PM

10. The DAP must unflinchingly press for these

11. Can't expect the black mamba of Malaysian politics to do it

12. It's waist deep in the plundering shit and in fact provided the enabling environment for all the financial haemorrhage in Malaysia

13. So it baffles me Anwar chose to work with UMNO when Zahid says UMNO will likely go solo and so low in pru16

14. And by proxy, Zahid through his daughter said the melaka PRN is the best time to go solo- again

15 . After screwing up PH in Johor and N9 ,would UMNO share screwing up hang li po?¹

16. Nahi, babuji!

17. Everyone knows Anwars management style -the Jack sparrow style. Making solutions up along the way .

18. Do your magic now, sir!
