The socio-political ideas of Zaaba. Part 1.

1. Let me start by saying where I differ from UMNO's approach 2. As regard the way forward for the malays . This is a fundamental difference 3. My way is the zaaba way after pendita zaaba. 

4 . That chap from batu kikir NS. 

Batu kikir jambotan bosi. 

Masak gulai sebelango C

ubo lah warih pikir dalam ati 

Den dah lamo babini tigo 

6. Sung by many pas stalwarts who are eager to marry 1 more . 

7. The zaaba way:- develop own competences, cultivate success values within self, compete with others on level playing field, no institutional protection, privileges or affirmative policies. Certainly no entitlements 

8. I became acquainted with the seminal ideas of Zaaba, after reading prof. Ungku Aziz's book,'Jejak2 di pantai zaman'. 

9. Later, I got my hands on many books on zaaba as possible. 

10. In UM, the 3rd college is also known as kolej Zaaba. 

11. Zaaba is better known as a literary figure. Less well known was his ideas on Malay socio-political growth 

12. Zaaba is quite a remarkable man. He was among the earliest graduate of SITC, regarded then as the hotbed of Malay intellectualism and dare I say, Malay radicalism 

13. In his early 20s he had already begun writing on a number of issues. At an early age too, he had a superb command of the English language. 

14. At that early age, he was already acquainted with writings of literary figures like Longfellow and others.

15. Ungku Aziz's book 'Jejak-jejak di pantai zaman' ought to be a required reading at 6th form. 

16. In part 2, I shall expand on Zaabas ideas 

17. It's not for nothing, he was given the title pendita or sage by the government of tun Razak.

The albatross around the PMs neck.

1. I wrote the piece on RCI because I don't want it to be a liability to the PM .

2. For pragmatic reasons and for his longevity as PM, ditch notorious Azam Baki. 

3. That fellow is not worth protecting if doing so, jeopardizes the PMship 

4. The priority is for Anwar to be PM for a 2nd term to carry out as much reformasi as he can 

5 . Further reformasi is for others to continue. 

6. But at the moment, work in progress reformasi is in gridlock because of Azam Baki. 

7. The PM has allowed many red herrings to be created to distract our attention on Azam Baki sharegate and corporate mafia issues.

8. The sharegate and the corporate mafia issues can only come light fully, with the formation of an RCI which DAP is pressing. 

9. Now that DAPs request for an RCI has been crowded out by some political manufactures, DAP must be wondering whether Anwar is for real? 

10. Suddenly some issues whose veracity is suspect have overwhelmed the need for an RCI 

11. We are asked to be horrified and exceedingly alarmed with 2 issues 

12.1st is the allegations that our country is under attack by books and social media narratives supported by Zionists . 

13. Anwar has touched the most sensitive part. Mention the word Zionists and the Malays especially will suffer non compos mentis. 

14. Malay men will spring up forgetting their pants, sarong and underwear . 

15. Malay women will rush out minus their sarongs and undergarments. 

16. The story about wealthy people here enlisting help from PR firms abroad is so far fetched. It is as said by the lady , laughable. 

17. This is political gaslighting of the highest order. 

18. Please PM sir, stop this madness. It's damaging you. 

19. The other issue which I think is bizarre and linked to an equally bizarre pursuit, is the unproductive manhunt of James bond chai . 

20. If sprm can go to Saudi Arabia in verifying najibs story , why can't they go to UK? 

21. That would also give the more virile sprm people a chance to go to Londons seedy places in west end. 

22. Combined, these 2 issues only distract us from looking closer into the sharegate and corporate mafia issues. 

23. The 2 issues connected to Azam and sprm is like a dead albatross hanging around you neck. 

24. Please Mr PM sir, unload Azam. 

25. I don't want to write further on this issue and I can't speculate the actions DAP takes 

26. Your PMship is more important than shielding notorious Azam.

Where is Carmen san Diego becomes where is the wretched RCI.

1. I want to know what happened to DAPs demand for RCI? On the corporate mafia thing.

2. I want it to be widened on the whole 9 yards of Bloomberg reports. 

3. Since when the inquiry was asked on a specific subject, the government is playing footsie,ok let's widen the scope. Let's inquire into the whole blooming Bloomberg reports.. 

4. Footsie not as in sexual teasing but rather nudging the foot asking the other party to forget about the RCI. 

5. That's what probably happened. Someone nudged DAPs leg saying don't bring out the RCI matter as we are facing a more dangerous issue - somebody planning to topple the government with dreaded Zionists help . 

6. The grave danger is someone inside the country working with PR firm in UK or USA will swamp our country with books and social media narratives discrediting Malaysia. 

7. Yucks, suddenly Malaysia has become ' egg shell' becomes so vulnerable, it can't defend itself against these literary onslaughts. 

8. People thought there are tanks in chow Kit road, armed militia storming the Bastille in putrajaya. 

9. Anyway, the imminent toppling of the government is painted as so ominous that it crowds out DAPs demand for RCI. 

10. Azam Baki and sprm get a politically supported reprieve. 

11. The thunder, as it were behind the RCI demands beginning with ramkarpal, other DAP heavyweights including Gobind Singh, was taken out. 

12. The RCI issue, went limped like a dick which has completed it's glorious duty 

13. On that day, DAP must has felt like a cat after being doused with a bucket of cold water. 

14. The short of it is, DAP is not treated with respect it deserves . 

15. Its request for a very serious issue was cavalierly crowded out by a politically manufactured story which nobody believes . 

16. Which I think fortifies DAPs resolve to eventually being NOT part of PH. 

17. DAP has suddenly gone eerily quiet and that is disturbing. 

18. That's my take only, it may not be correct. Have no fear, have a kit kat!

Some initial thoughts on PKRs videorama.

1. Rafizi has done untold damages towards PKR. Many of us are puzzled as to why PKR has not expelled him .

2. This lead people to believe that PKR has no testicular fortitude to do that .

3. Or in this case, no vaginal fortitude.

4. Many who have watched the many podcasts and vlogs Rafizi made, know he has crossed the Rubicon.

5. So, it really surprised us that PKR hasn't released the guillotine on Rafizi.

6. Whereas on 16 other lesser known PKR renegades, PKR has filed court papers .

7. This reluctance of PKR to ax Rafizi has only elevated his prominence

8. People now believe that PKR sees Rafizi as indispensable.

9. PKR is horrified that if Rafizi leaves , other formidable PKR luminaries will also.

10. It cannot afford the hemorrhage.

11. So, PKR does what it only can issue face saving statements.

12. It says, unconvincingly, that Rafizi hasn't breached any party rules.

13. That's only a palliative and self delusional.

14. That indefinite and hazy answer will only make Rafizi more belligerent.

15. PKR will do more crazy things.

16. Like.unleashing it's hordes of cyber terrorists to discredit Rafizi. Like producing an AI generated video of Rafizi talking with toh puan naemah presumably about toppling the government.

17. Didn't it occur to anyone, the episode of them talking would require someone recording it?

18. That would mean either of them are so daft to have someone record their playacting. Sheesh!

19. It makes people believe that video was produced by not so clever people who are interested to be paid off.

20. It will make the public poohed poohed the garbage and make them think PKR is desperate and panicking.

21. It will only make Rafizi more credible and PKR less believable.

Rafizi is the man our country needs

1. I will ignore all the ad hominem attacks against Rafizi. He's the nyet nyet fellow lah. These are not arguments, just condiments to a speech.

2. He's definitely the man Malaysia needs-after Anwar.

3. According to Machiavelli, a man not read by many Malaysians, the 1st method to estimate the intelligence of a leader is to look at the quality of people he has around him.

4. It is a testament to his own cerebral prowess that he is able to attract a coterie of very talented people.

5. He downplays his own intelligence. He says he benefits more from the brainy team than they from him.

6. But I must quickly add , he's not chopped liver quality either.

7. He's very intelligent, sharp and very articulate. He speaks in unhurried Malay and English.

8. His only blemish is perhaps, he went to school at MC gay gay.

9. The other thing I find discomforting is his proclivity to commit on everything under the sky in many u tube programs and podcasts.

10. That may cause mental fatigue in some and increases revulsion and envy among his detractors.

11 . We just can't say the people surrounding Rafizi are above average with saying more about them

12. Dr Azrai is, I believe a medical doctor who graduated from uni Cambridge with a 1st class degree. He also has a diploma from university of London.

13. Then there's James 'Bond ' chai, a Chinese guy who recently gained fame or notoriety, depending on how you look at it.

14. This chap is a 1st class graduate in law from university of London and a masters degree from oxford.

15. Benjamin quek is is graduate in finance from Monash university and earned a masters degree from John Hopkins university in computational maths, I think.

I6. Ismat Qaiyyum graduated with 1st class degree in PPE from LSE.

17 . Haqimi zamri is a graduate from Robinhoods county, university of Nottingham, famous for lace making.

18. Compared to people surrounding anvar ebraheem, is like comparing a thoroughbred to a Shetland horse pulling a milkcart

19. Or patrician intellectuals to plebeian book readers.

20 . Rafizis expose' of many corruption scandals is legendary.

21. That shows his utter contempt of corruption and abuse of power

22. Rafizis recent speech in parliament regarding the much acclaimed good governance of the budget, shows this man is sharp mentally.

23. If we include tax refund arrears as revenue, we get a spurious deficit.

24. And if we have a sizeable tax refund arrears at the end of the year then the claim of good tata kelola is BS right?

25. Prompting me to put forward my own K percent rule on deficit and tax refund arrears .

26. I don't think many MPs have any inkling of what Rafizi is nyet nyeting about.

27. Whether you like him or not, Rafizi is the next PM we need after Anwar Ibrahim

28. I felt compelled to write this article to counter balance the unholy alliance of cyber terrorists socking Rafizi, with his hands tied.

Staying within the guard rails. Reminding a PM. No 4. The political longevity of a PM.

1. Today again, I am writing on the subject of political longevity.

2. The longevity of the PM as PM. What are the main factors the PM must take cognizant of. 

3. The great lky mentioned 2 determinants. 

4. Keeping the faith of people in him as the man he says he is. A reformist 

5. Keeping the promises made. 

6. I tumpang 2 factors. He must have a team of like-minded people 

7. Which means these people must have the reformasi state of mind. 

8. He himself must have the unshakeable resolve and determination to carry out to topple the status quo. 

9. The first thing the PM must realise is that he didn't inherit power from UMNO. 

10. He got power through blood sweat and tears by how efforts and WITH help from loyal friends DAP and AMANAH. 

11. UMNO and others are fair weathered friends. You don't invite this kind of people to share power with you 

12. You are giving it time and space to regroup and plot. 

13. The PM must move quickly to show who's boss. There's a new sheriff in town with new terms 

14. He must move rapidly to consolidate his power. He must provide power to his trusted and tried allies. At the same time take every opportunity to weaken UMNO. 

14( b). Ignore the whiners on social media or from UMNO. Do what you must do. 

15. There's a recent opportunity to demonstrate you want to depart from the business as usual ways. 

16. The appointment of Hannah Yeoh as FT minister, signals you want change. 

17. You sir, are not asking permission and validation from the noise makers to make changes. 

18. These people from UMNO, pas , Malay supremacists, fringe groups crying over our dead bodies and people saying Malay interests are in danger and now, it's a mistake to give this position to a Chinese and DAP --ignore these nay sayers. 

19. You must now say the FT minister has your full confidence, support and trust. 

20. You sir, must tell the world, you are getting support and validation from Malaysians who are greater in number from the vocal nay sayers with vested, parochial and racist interests. 

21. The appointment of people like mat sabu, Dr Zulkifli, Hannah, Govind, nga, Steven, is bold 

22. Boldness makes people follow you. Hesitation and vacillation allow your enemies to regroup and people doubting you. 

23. If you act this way, people have faith in you as a reformist.

Staying within the guard rails. Reminding a PM. No 3. Religious extremism and the destruction of their symbols.

1. Hindus will remember that under Anwar and PKR, Hindu temples get demolished .

2 . To add salt to the wound, Muslim zealots took the law in their hands and demolished temples instead of PBT people doing it. 

3. The government does not punish them, giving the impression, it condones their actions 

4 . What if suraus were built on government trespassed land? 

5. Can we call them surau Haram and have them demolished? 

6 . I asked this question not to offend Muslim brothers, but as MP for Raub once, I have prayed at several of this type of suraus built on trespassed government land. 

7. I think Malay Muslims of the old school understood the Quranic injunction in surah Al kafirun, bagi kamu agama kamu, bagi kami agama kami. 

8. Among other things -there is religious tolerance, each religious believer is responsible for his own religious beliefs, we don't exchange our religious beliefs . 

9 . Nowadays I don't know that being a Muslim must necessarily include militant urges, kill and destroy, murderous urges, predatory urges etc 

10. It's not enough being a Muslim but must assert his presence and dominance by destroying the religious symbols of others. Kovils, temples , others. 

11. This brand of religious terrorism preached by Muslim converts, appear to appeal to younger and hot headed youngs. 

12. That's a bitter irony isn't it? The young are attracted to these fiery preachers, eschewing calm and collected preachers. 

13 . The government must never countenanced vengeful religious actions that only cause and exacerbate religious tensions. 

14. Like the PM said, tangkap dan humban mereka kedalam Jel. 

15. Hear that Saifuddin nasushiyon? 

16. Take firm action against all religious extremism. 

17. Religious tolerance is essential for harmonious social cohesion 

18. Does it stop you from carrying Islamic religious duties, turn you apostate or make you blasphemous? 

19. Poor indians pray at kuils bult so so in estates and in jungle clearings. 

20. They practised their faith and strive to become good people . 

21. We malays who are Muslims tolerated them because we stand by the principle of their religion is their business 

22. If their religion teaches them to be good persons, why should we Muslims discourage them?, 

23. If it's a matter of the kovils being built on trespassed land, then it is a duty of the land office to find an alternative site 

24. You can't extinguish the faith of others by demolishing the symbols of their faith because you are responding to some bigoted preaching. 

25. So Mr PM sir, don't countenance the demands of these religious deranged people. 

26. Why don't they try to win elections on extremism tickets?
