Making Anwar the PM is not the pot of gold of the reformasi rainbow. Part 3. Anwar's war on corruption. Devil's advocate series 76.

1. Sure, Anwar needs to secure the allegiance of the Malays. They are 70% of the population. Their support is crucial. 

2. But he must not do it the dishonorable and deceptive UMNO way. 

3. By treating the people as dependents and selling them false hopes in perpetuity 

4. If he has made promises, he differs from UMNO if he keeps them. 

5. And he made many, the lowering of oil prices , abolition of TOLs, PTPTN, free education , lower food prices, good governance, war on corruption etc 

6. We must hold him to his promises and shall not listen to excuses 

7. Giving him opportunity to make good his promises is the main reason as to why he must stay on as PM for another term 

8. UMNO has given us false hopes for a long time. Don't give it another chance to lie to us 

9. UMNO is a manipulative bastard . It preys on our short memories but long hopes 

10. Always hoping things will get better but they never did 

11. People get more deprived in many ways while the elites and leaders enrich themselves 

12. Hidden behind legalized corruption masked by sanitized terms like commissions, sedekah, business deals etc. 

13. ' what is in a name? That which we call corruption will still smell like shit 

14. Anwar must stay way clear of the UMNO way 

15. Anwar's political longevity depends on 3 important things 

16. Retaining people's faith in him as a reformist. Promises are ephemeral , deeds are eternal. 

17. That's why he must keep his promises 

18. Promises given must not be treated as election coupons. They expire faster than milk exposed under the sun 

19. 3rdly, it depends on him having a team of smart people, even smarter than him . 

20. For God sake, he is the PM mustn't feel threatened by still underlings. 

21. His declaration of war against corruption must be supported by all. 

22. It won't be supported only by UMNO people. Because corruption is 2nd nature to UMNO and we can't expect it to renounce its nature. 

23. Except his war on corruption and the conviction of the clearly guilty takes on a rip van winkles pace 

24. It may take the courts 20 years to affirm the elephant is actually not an antelope. 

25. I would like him to make as law, the conclusion of a corruption case must not exceed 3 years . Long enough. 

26. It's a matter of justice delayed is justice denied not a matter of justice rushed is justice crushed 

27. Isn't it the duty of a criminal court is to advance justice for the people/state and not humor the felon? 

28. In fighting the war on corruption , Anwar must be uncompromising and iron willed. 

29. It doesn't help things to say we are not interested to jail some people as long as we get the money 

30. The term 'some' implies that we can negotiate with some people but not with others 

31. That would mean the law varies . 

32. If the shoes fit, convict. If convicted spend time in prison. 

33. In fighting corruption, Anwar must close all doors allowing corruption 

34. UMNO monetizes all. Decisions making, giving of contracts, licenses, deals and even being shortlisted 

35. These things should be made transparent not sleight of hand. 

36. The very 1st rule is to unfollow the UMNO ways 

37. Anwar must also pay attention to the corruption committed by the civil service 

38. Everyone knows when it comes to corruption, the civil service is not civil. 

39. Corruption ravages the financial health of our country 

40. Anwar must be doctor Christian Szell to these wretched Corruptors 

41. Btw, Dr Szell is the character of the sadistic dentist in marathon man.

Making Anwar the PM is not the pot of gold of the reformasi rainbow. Part 2. Devil's advocate series 75.

1. I say this again. Appointing Anwar as PMx was the correct thing to do. 

2. As a variant to what Augustus Comte said, demography is indeed destiny 

3. In a country, where 70% is almost Malay it would be unimaginable to have a non Malay as PM kan? 

4. Accordingly for Anwar to remain PM, he must gained the allegiance of first , the Malays and the more economically powerful non malays. 

5. But he must not do it the UMNO way 

6. By treating Malays in general as dependents 6b. He must give Malays honour and amour propre. 

7. And he must avoid giving the impression of oppressing the non malays 

8. We must have him know that even richer non malays also feel oppressed 

9. Therefore we are mistaken if we believed that forced economic equality is the answer to social cohesion. 

10. It's equality of opportunities. And that can only be obtained through free market economics. 

11. Equality of opportunities lead to social cohesion 

12. There are several economic areas I want to see reformasi applied on 

13. UMNOnomics is structured on several foundations; 1st it is built on the principles of preferential treatment and affirmative policies. 2nd, these are implemented by central command economics institutions 

14. Preferential treatment and affirmative policies encapsulated by pick and choose winners economic model. 

15. Central command economics encapsulated by institutions run by politicians and bureaucratic brahmins such as epu, ICU, GLCs run by those mentioned above. 

16. Other structures like giving bail outs to inefficiently run companies, giving of monopolies, long term contracts , exclusive licences to the picked and chosen blue eyed boys. 

17. I would dismantle these with varying speeds but assuredly 

18. I would also rein in political whimsies like Santa Claus spending 

19. Economics is about judicious use of resources; in this case taxpayers money. 

20. Every other month half past six Keynesian economists and advisors, advised the Pablo Neruda, Vaclav Havel and rendra reading PM, to make cash payouts and transfer payments 

21. The payouts will end up as consumption spending 

22. This will eventually result ultimately in inflammation 

23. The very people now jumping with joy for getting money will be the 1st to complain about rising prices of goods and services which they are now. 

24. It's Najib's brim vs Anwar's brim. 

25. Inflammation is everywhere and anywhere, a monetary phenomenon. 

26. The pick and choose winners economic model creates an elite of carpet beggars and people given bread crumbs who forget they are deprived. 

27. Spending on them this way is dangerous. You create an expectations gap. You have to continue handing out money and economic benefits. 

28. Once you slow down and scale down handouts, these people whom had expected freebies from you, will be the 1st to rebel against you. 

29. The pick and choose winners economic model, preferential treatment and affirmative policies are implemented by the central command economics institutions 

30. These institutions are nothing more than a constellation of the least productive groups in our country 

31. Remember the world bank report that reported the Malays as being the least productive of economic actors? 

32. It follows that the top people at the central command economics institutions are mostly Malays must therefore be from the least productive groups. 

33. The question that comes readily to our minds is, how can the least productive groups tell and advise us on economic matters? 

34. The advice given must by definition, be mediocre 

35. Bailing out ineffeciently and poorly managed companies to me is a poor misallocation of resources. 

36. The most infamous example in recent times is the 1b bail out of sapura energy. 

37. I have talked about this issue in previous articles 

38. Another area to which I want reformasi applied on is the retention and continuation of monopolistic 'arrangements'. 

39. A monopoly is a form of totalitarian economics and is a fetter on free market economics. 

40. Again, I have talked about it in earlier articles.

Making Anwar the PM is not the pot of gold of the reformasi rainbow. Part 1. Devil's advocate series 74.

1. The problem with PKR people is that they don't know what reformasi entail. They are in the dark which specific areas they want reformasi to be applied on. Most don't know. 

2. They regard reformasi as slogans shouts to be vented out at gatherings. To invigorate the attendees 

3. Reformasi is not a walk in the park, saudara. 

4. It's not like drinking teh tarik or coffee, eating pasembur or roti titab, not like eating nasi Kadar ex hameediyah. 

5. It entails the clinical overthrow of the previous regime and its legacies. 

6. And don't be romantic about your previous affiliations, if you were from the previous regime 

7. You must be uncompromisingly resolute to despatch it. 

8. Send it quickly to the blackhole of politics 

9. If you don't know what reformasi entails and what specific areas you want to reform, its difficult to tell your party president 

10. If you don't know what reformasi entails and what specific areas you want to have it applied, how do you want to advise the boss? 

11. Because PKR is the mainstay of the unity government notably to PH partners, how PKR people 'moulds' Anwar or how Anwar himself carries Anwar, that becomes the business of PH partners 

12. If the conduct of PKR people does not affect PKRs partners interests, they won't give a rats ass as to how Anwar is cultivated. 

13. Anwar becoming PM is the not the pot of gold at the reformasi rainbow. It's not the holy grail. 

14. The 1st aim of ALL non BN parties was to overthrow it. 

15. On that score, all n non BN parties were responsible for it's overthrow. PKR, DAP, AMANAH, pas , bersatu. 

16. The last two did not join PH, so were out of the unity government 

17. Ideally all non BN parties ought to form the unity government sans umno 

18. Wasn't it their 1st aim? To overthrow UMNO and its lackeys? 

19. The appointment of Anwar was a politically correct decision of the unity government with PH as the dominant partner 

20. It isn't opened to anyone political party that without it there wouldn't be a unity government and Anwar wouldn't be PM. 

21. Only a party that is conceited and arrogant like UMNO would do that and wak J its village fool 

22. Now, after installing Anwar as PM,the real reformasi begins 

23. Changing the structures that have supported UMNO all the while 

24. Political, economic, cultural,legal and correcting the country's financial health 

25. God knows, our country's financial health has been ravaged and violated by the rapacious corruption and greed of the UMNO government 

26. Sure, going all out after correction, pursuing its perpetrators to their wormhole is a top priority and ought to be supported by all 

27. We shouldn't compromise on the war on corruption, not be selective about it or water it down by saying we are not interested in jailing the thieves as long as we get the money back. 

28. Corruption by any other name is corruption and appreciate retribution ought to be the response. Proper comeuppance is the answer. 

29. We don't want a bourgeois and genteel sense of justice. It must be justice fair to the people. 

30. Not willing to change the structures , cannot be regarded as reformasi. 

31. Otherwise we are all caught in the syndrome of philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways, the point however is to change it. 

32. Or as James carville said-change or more of the same. 

33. The 1st change in the political structure ought to be keeping UMNO out of the corridors of power 

34. As long as UMNO has some semblance of power, it can claim some relevance 

35. The point is to banish it to the island of irrelevancy and keep it there 

36. Bringing UMNO to be part of the unity government is the greatest anomaly and the glaring lacuna in the political structure. 

37. Remember, it's a fatal mistake to invite the enemy to share political power with you. 

38. UMNO is the eternal enemy.

The fatal conceit of the majority. Tyranny of the status quo. Devil's advocate series no. 65B

1. The basic premise on which UMNO prescribes ways for Malays to move forward or choose their way to economic salvation is wrong 

2. It is wrong because economic resources are Allocated Not On Rational Economic reasons but on political and racial reasons. 2b. Our country can be divided into 2 groups. The least productive group and the most productive group. 

3. 70% least productive group and 30% most productive group 

4. The way UMNO prescribes is to treat the 70% favourably 

5. Give them preferential treatment and protect them with affirmative policies 

6. The aim is to make the 70% believe that they absolutely need UMNO 

7 . Make use of race, religion and country. 

8. Some people say that's rule 11. 

9. Make malays believe they depend on UMNO . They are the dependants 

10. Meanwhile the 30% which may include 0.5% Malays are largely ignored 

11. Go look after yourselves, play with yourselves 

12. The different treatment should be abolished 

13. How can the 70% well looked after lacked behind while the ignored 30% prosper? 

14. The answer must be the 70% became wimpies while the 30% became resilient and robust 

15. But because they are 70%, they behaved badly, arrogantly and in totalitarian ways . 

16. They imposed their values on the country . 

17. As a result the country takes on the characteristics of the 30%. 

18. Less productive, unwilling to compete, no competence and no skills set . 

19. How can that be of a superior race? 

20. The race claimed by screws loose prof, to have taught Romans shipbuilding, inspired Egyptians pyramid building, inspired Chinese yee sang, taught Chinese how to fly, DNA older than Chinese and Indians? 

21. Where got road man? 

22. To add insult to injury, the least productive wants to guide the country how to develop economically . 

23. The point is how to make the least productive group into the most productive group? 

24. Certainly not by giving the 70% preferential treatment and protect them with affirmative policies. 

25. So the 1st step I will take is to remove all the structures giving preferential treatment and affirmative policies 

26. Its the cold turkey treatment on the 70% to force them to kick of the addiction to dependency 

27 . When in Italy I once asked my host, why isn't he using an automatic car? 28. He answered as a matter of factly, automatics are for handicaps 

29 . Getting rid of the culture of dependency is one of the lanes making UMNO irrelevant 

30 . Our way forward for all and economic salvation for malays is the Zaaba way or Zaabanomics 

31. Develop a compendium of competencies and skills set and compete freely on a level playing field. 

32. From each according to his ability to each according to his contribution. 

32b . The reward system must also be right musn't it? 

33. These ways wouldn't make the 70% behave despicably would they?

NB. Fatal conceit is the title to F. Hayek and tyranny of the status quo is a book by Friedman. This is an English version of article no. 65

UMNO will meet its Waterloo. Devil's advocate series 67.

1. Pity MCA.its irrelevant in Johor elections and pretty much anywhere as well

2. Onn Hafiz has to fight for it's relevance and survival

3. It's a party that has no resonance with the Chinese community

4. But UMNO needs its useful idiot and uncle tan(tom). UMNO is Harriet Beecher.

5. UMNO candidates have never contested against DAP candidate

6. It's always have been MCA slaughter beasts.

7. So Onn is actually speaking for emasculate and effeminate MCA

8. UMNO confirms MCA will be annihilated in Johor elections

9. Why then is UMNO siding with a loser? Because it will be one soon.

10. MCA will always be a two bit player to UMNO's patronizing ways

11. Do the proud Chinese want to be represented by a party that has no amour propre?

12. DAP will always be the party of choice for the Chinese because it allows the Chinese to be real Chinese

13. MCA manufactures uncle Tom Chinese like the famous preacher and the prof who speaks out against UEC.

14. As to onn talking mean about DAP, regard that as playing on the sentiments of the Malays.

15. Nothing riles them up other than making them believed that will be overwhelmed by the Chinese.

16. Suddenly Onn finds support from Malays not as solid as he thinks.

17. He may get support from the old guards and redneck Malays but their number is fading.

18. The baby boomers , millennials, the gen z and the k pop generation' s feelings toward UMNO,the Malay supremacist party,are lukewarm

19. Onn may well find the Johor elections to be his Waterloo.

20. The story about Malays being overwhelmed by Chinese is a big lie anyway

21. DAP is contesting in 17 areas whose population are Chinese or Malay votes don't count

22. By now, everyone knows UMNO is a bloody snake, the black mamba of Malaysian politics.

23. UMNO wants to rule alone where it thinks it's strong, elsewhere it's not dominant it wants to share.

24. You call that behavior unscrupulous, unethical. It's duplicitous and a weathervane political party

25. I would tell Anthony loke not to wrestle with a pig, lest you get splattered with mud all over.

26. UMNO has bitten more that it can chew. It has to contend with PH, pas, bersatu and the enfant terrible, Bersama.

27. It will drown it its own vomit .

28. As to whether Anwar said no clash, I think it was journalistic misreporting by UMNO cyber terrorists.

The hard truth: UMNO is a liability to Malays. All is fair in love and war. Demonise UMNO .Devil's advocate series 66.

1. I planned to write an English version of the above article. That has to wait

2. There are reports carried out by the sosmed that Anwar told pH people not to clash with UMNO/BN

3. Not sure whether what he said was taken out context but the public like me read only the headlines

4. The headlines say don't clash with BN

5. That kind of ' decree'is likely to cause confusion among the ranks.

6. How not to clash when the Onn fellow with the blessings of wak J has announced, BN will contest all 56 seats.

7. To avoid clash, PH might as well packed it's bags.

8. Let me give a more graphic description

9. It's like asking PH to spread her legs and enjoy the violation by BN fart faces

10. We expect Anwar to be our Patton, Napoleon, field marshal Walter Model or an Erwin Rommel leading his troops un-yieldingly into battle.

11. Which can 8nly lead us to speculate as to why Anwar said what he was reported to have said.

12. Could he be intimidated by UMNO and wak J?

13. Could his instructions to PH be also an instruction to UMNO to behave the same?

14. Cocky UMNO is unlikely do the same , so Anwars response should be defiantly warlike

15. Just announce that PH will contest all seats in Johor, N9 and cincalok state. And it intends to go solo, no negotiations and in war there are no niceties.

16. And there's still time for Anwar to place a spanner in the works. A really big monkey wrench.

17. The AGC has uncovered new set of evidence that can convict wak 47.

18. Remove all UMNO appointees in GLCs and remove all UMNO appointees as ketua kampungs

19. It's better to be feared than loved if you can't be both.

20. Then go into elections

21. I don't understand Anwars refusal to see UMNO as the black mamba of Malaysian politics.

22. UMNO is the black mamba waiting to strike Anwar and Anwar is playing up to UMNO?

23. UMNO is always trying to regain power by any means necessary

24. By any means the is a phrase I learned from reading Malcolm X.

25. It means UMNO will use all vile and unscrupulous means to take back power

26. It's now hunting with the hounds and running with the hare

27. In Johor it wants to rule alone but in N9 it's opened to work with PH.

28. The interpretation of that duplicitous behavior explains UMNO's chicanery.

29. Now Onn fellow is saying he won't share power with DAP. It also means not sharing with PKR and AMANAH

30. I have repeatedly said when UMNO goes into battle, it's always preceded by braggadocios and fighting talk

31. That is the Hallmark of a paper tiger and am empty vessel

32. In ge15, didn't UMNO smother the country with the same trash talk? In the end it has to prostitute itself to PH

33. Onn Hafiz is doing the same trash talking as UMNO HQ was doing in ge15

34. Perhaps it is the harbinger to UMNO Johor as happened to UMNO HQ in ge15

35. As to wak J sitting next to Seremban like at cabinet meetings, a prostitute does what a prostitute does

36. Yet there is a bozo who keeps repeating the lie of the existent of an UMDAP.

37. What is that? Something you wiped off from your boots when walking in the gutter?

38. It's a preemptive excuse made to rationalize the upcoming loss of UMNO

39. Also it's a cheap trick to rile up redneck Malays.

40. It's always the aim of Malay supremacists to make Malaysia a Malay enclave.

41. UMNO is the quintessential Malay supremacist party which deserves to be dustbined in the trash of history.

42. It will always be, it's a fatal mistake to invite the enemy to share political power with you.

Lagak melayu. Devil's advocate series 65.

1. Dasar asas kita Salah.

2. Salah kerana agihan resources yang tidak betul kerana political considerations mencemari free market economics.

3. Eleh, anda semua boleh aja meremehkan prinsip frée the market economics serta katakan obsession awak kepada konsep ini hanya sebagai bertiori saja

4. Realitinya kita mesti campurl tangan membetulkan keadaan tidak adil ini dengan bantu melalalui apa saja jalan golongan least pructive.

5. Termasuklan dgn cara deny the more productive group , business opportunies

6. Klu ia memerlukan economic predation, biarkan lah saja untuk orang melayu kan .

7. Bangsa kita akan jahanam bila reject rules based system. That is why UMNO's answers to the way forward untuk bangsa melayu , adalah salah .

8. The way forward ialah dengan mengangkat golongan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif menjadi golongan terprodaktif .

9. Bukan mengekalkan mereka sebagai golongan terpaling tidak prodaktif dengan memberi mereka layanan istimewa atau preferential treatment serta melindungi mereka dgn berbagai dasar2 affirmative.

10. Maka langkah pertama kalu saya lah buat ialah perlahan lahan dismantle segala institution yang mengamalkan layanan istimewa atau preferential treatment and affirmative policies.

11. Saya mahu lihat siapa pemimpin melayu yang berani mengkoreksi keadaan tidak adil ini.

12. Jika tidak, saya anggap semua mereka berwatakan bourgeois bertopengkan berbagai guises.

13. Dan yang paling melucukan golongan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif mahu menasihati kita how to run this economy. Niamah!( Kata Patrick Teoh)

14. Mereka penasihat atau PUNAHsihat?

15. Yang tongong mahu nasihat kita. Kita tak lagi dungu, encik .

16. Misalnya saya dengar ada seorang yang piously menyeru orang melayu bersatu

17. Melayu yang diseru bersatu ialah melayu UMNO , pas serta Bersatu

18. Melayu PKR, AMANAH, DAP, Bersama bagaimana?

19. Ternyata yang menyeru tersebut adalah antek UMNO .

Aku akan pergi
Dengan seribu jebat si anak tani
Sekian lama kita hidup dalam setia
Kali ini kita hidup dalam durhaka.

21. Untuk mahu, orang melayu mesti ada sikap berontak serta sceptical.

22. Jangan asal tengok orang yang menyeru pakai songkok serta kopiah,kita longlai serta ikut babi buta.

23. Strategy membiarkan golongan yang terpaling production tapi memanjakan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif, adalah strategy salah

24. Ia akan menyebabkan Negara keseluruhan kurang prodaktif serta kompetitif.

25. Sebab nya golongan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif menentukan rentak ekonomi.

26. Golongan yang terpaling tidak prodaktif bermentaliti ketam dalam bakul.

27. Ketam yang nak keluar dari bakul akan ditarik kedalam oleh ketam lain

28. Keadaan kita seakan akan kera di hutan di susukan, anak di rumah mati kehausan

29. Tinggal lagi keadaan nya terbalik. Anak yang di rumah itu kera, kera dalam hutan itu anak.

30. Berkali kali saya kata, jalan keselamatan orang melayu ialah the Zaaba way

31. Develop intrinsic competencies compete on a level playing field.

Baru kikir jambotan bosi
Masak gulai sebelango
Cuba lah warih pikir dalam ati
Den dah lamo bui caranyo
Api dalam kaca
Ayer dalam bosi
Kalu diri rasa bangga
Lamo2 membawa mati
Batu kikir jambotan bosi
Masak gulai sebelango
Cuba lah warih pikir dalam ati
Den dah lamo bui caranyo
