The gang of the infamous 40. Tales by an unknown blogger no 85

1. It was reported. 40 government owned companies suffered losses. The auditor general reported it. The PAC must have also reported it.

2. We will not have the government kill the companies off. But we will not ask the government use taxpayers money to bail them out either. Let them die naturally.

3. It's the principle of profit and loss in our economy. The loss part of the equation is even more important.

4. It's that part of the equation that ensures badly and incompetently run companies be weeded out

5. It's the Darwinian natural selection process in economics. The weak are weeded out.

6. Forget the fact that maybe all these GOC are run by bumis. The PM can replace them by abler bumis . Indeed this is an opportunity for the PM to carry out his much vaunted reformasi. Replace them with abler Malaysians.

7. Do a reformasi bit here. Be done, decouple yourself from the business as usual way of saving these loss making companies.

8. Mahathir, red lips Najib, abah cow and abang long Wi will do the same thing

9. Pump in money to these loss making companies, change the chairman or CEO or both with their cronies. Then these companies will suffer the same fate- all will bite the dust.

10. It will be the same story. Good money chasing after bad money.

11. Call to meet the 40 chairmen and CEOs.meet them face to face. Tell them you mean business.

12. Tell them that if within a year, the companies they run are not back in black , you'll retire them. You are prepared to run these companies with abler Malaysians. With or without them.

13. Tell these people that forensic accounting and SPRMs invigilation will be carried out. The companies lost money perhaps due to incompetent management, mismanagement of government funds and corruption.

14. If top management of these companies are malays, there's 95% probability corruption occurs

15. Am I, a Malay being too harsh on my own race?. Here are my reasons.

16. In the 70s, when journalists asked the late tun hanif omar, why does he arrest the Chinese as suspected communist sympathisers?

17. He said that since 95% of the communists are Chinese, there's a 95% probability that the ordinary Chinese are communist sympathisers. That's why he arrests them .

18. Similarly now, if 95% of those caught for corruption are malays, there's a 95% probability that the chairmen and CEOs of the loss making companies are malays. Logical kan?

19. I am also reminded of what pendita zaaba said in 1922. That those who oppress and brutalize the malays, are leaders of their own kind .

20. I am not big on the presumption that Malay bosses are benevolent, englightened and so on . They maybe devils in disguise.

21. If you fucked us, I will not hesitate to do the same to you. Call me betrayer, pseudo Malay or anything. It's no skin off my nose

22. When they made losses, they are jeopardizing the livelihood of thousands and wasting millions of ringgit of taxpayers money. If we reward them for this wrongdoings, something must be wrong with us.

23. This reformasi government ( I prefer to call it this instead of harapan or madani government) must stop this practice of forgiving wrongdoings and wrongdoers, especially if they are malays. Wrongdoings and wrongdoers must get their appropriate comeuppance.

24. We can never get this advice of punishing wrongdoers from the 2nd finance minister for instance. Yes, from the tom Selleck wannabe.

25. In the case of fashion valet for instance ( remember fv?) he was eager to protect and absolve, exonerate, exculpate, whitewash ( take your pick) khazanah and by extension,FV.

26. Where is the reformasi in this? We are supposed to do the opposite to business as usual way, so preferred by past UMNO regimes. Simply because UMNO can't come to equity with clean hands. It will find ways to exonerate wrongdoings and wrongdoers.

27. Remember, this government comes up on the promise of reformasi. It's our piece de resistance, our tour de force, our chef d'oeuvre. We came up not on harapan or madani shit. Apply it in earnest

28. In handling the 40 loss making companies,the PM has only one choice. He must have that iron will in dealing with these miscreants. That's what they are .

29. Don't be overcome by bourgeois sense of justice and by the misplaced genteel sense of fair play. Just need a whip of the cane

30. Please don't let reformasi be just slogan shouts at gatherings. More than a madani government, this is a reformasi government, pak shekh!

All the president's men. Part 2. Tales by an unknown blogger. 84.

1. Lapiji( forgive the DAPig for speaking pidgin Malay) is a very talented and smart fellow.

2. Unable to understand his reasoning, the just reached puberty social media warriors, labelled him , ' Mr formula'.

3. The pejorative label is quickly picked up by UMNO, PN, and other Malay supremacists.

4. Unfortunately that pejorative description is also accepted unquestioningly by some PKR fellers.

5. But have you noticed the following. He is not embroiled in any controversies, no corruption allegations and no ad hominem innuendos.

6. Therefore if I were a PKR delegate at the next congress, I will support senor lapiji.

7. A decision that is good for business, ie good for the party, good for the country.

8. The next person basically left to his own devices, is nik nazmi. We don't actually know of his talent. He's not free from controversy though . Hasn't explained himself convincingly from the accusations of one despicable but ferocious chegu.

9. And he hasn't done anything spectacular. He's a neither here no there fellow. Hence at best, he deserves benefit of the doubt

10. The person deserving explicit rejection is the home minister , who can't seem to get our house in order. Yes sir, I am talking about Saifuddin nasushiyon ( as pronounced by one Malay social media journalist).

11. He's just anwars glorified major domo and ADC. He's just the head butler and chief house keeper . His loyalty to the president is superseded only by his ineptness as home minister.

12. He has joined Zahid komidi as a buffoon home minister whose whole body is only worth half the brain of former home minister, ghazali shafie.

13. He has deceived and lied to us when he said that Najib the convict receives no preferential treatment.

14. Najib struts into court in his Armani or other bespoke suits , has access to hand phone and FB. Najib is enjoying a comfortable sabbatical at Kajang spa resort; replete with perhaps private accommodation, served with pudding raja and delivered foods . Throw in also the services of a private masseuse from ah beng health center.

15. He embarrasses and scandalizes the PM by his very lousy handling of a case involving his son.

16. Just look at the number of departments he drags in to clean up his shit

17. The police, Sharia court, the immigration department, the consulate in Bangkok's patpong etc. He brings down many when he goes down.

18. How can he look after the security of the country when his own house is publicly in shambles? People just don't feel safe on the streets. You can get assaulted and slapped. Later, maybe worse things can happen.

19. Lady joggers in public places can be sexually assaulted. Vigilante groups with extreme religious and racist views can hold press conferences inciting people and intimidating others.

20. This isn't someone you want to thrust with responsible leadership.

21. Another person joining him in the halls of ignominy, is the G&G minister, the communications minister.

22. He is more interested in ensuring every strand of his hair is in place, his dick ever ready and in riding grandfather bicycles in office. He used to be just Nurulizzahs errand boy .

23. Have you heard him explaining government issues? The explanations lack conviction and oomph. He's dour and bland. It makes it seem he doesn't believe in them. It's as though he reads the material once and gives it a rendition like a mechanical parrot.

24. His greatest minus point is, and this is something the PKR delegates should be mindful of, that he doesn't understand what it means in effect, to be a minister of propaganda.

25. His overriding role always is and will always be to endear the great leader with the masses.

26. Not to see Anwar eats ikan bakar here and there,giving sermons here and there but people want to know of the radical reforms and reformasi that Anwar carries out.

27. The communications minister is responsible for putting Anwar under the radar for these things not to listen to Anwar in his constipation or lady giving birth mode.

28. Alternatively, he should pour agent orange for the misdeeds of the previous umno governments.

29. Take the opportunity to do a documentary on 1MDB so that the whole of Malaysia knows and do a documentary on the almost 200m stolen by abang wi.

30. Does he want to be an effective politician or a goody goody person. If he chooses the latter go join a missionary group or be an official in a mosque or surau.

31. PKR people should choose a person of firmer constitution. Help surround Anwar with the ablest.

All the president's men. Part 1. Tales by an unknown blogger. 83.

1. Henry Kissinger once said, the leader who ignores Machiavelli, does so at his disadvantage.

2. The first test of the intelligence of a leader is to see the people surrounding him, said Machiavelli.

3. The gladiators are all the president's men . They are all PKR members. All are equal before the president's fatherly grace.

4. But like the fingers on our hands which are of different lengths, these people differ in talents

5. Some are talented but sidelined or ignored by the president. Many are duds and continue to shame and embarrass the president.

6. But the president, aka nana non aka the sungai long bolshie aka the LV liberal cannot remove them. He will be accused a dictator.

7. The president, with his bourgeois values probably formed at MC gay gay and his genteel sense of justice and compassion cannot be expected to remove these excess baggage.

8. Unless the PKR hoi polloi at the next party elections , jettison them . Then it will be easier for Nana Non to excise them .

9. The president must be motivated less with strategies for self preservation than with strategies that are good for business.

10. What's good for business? To make available the best talents for the country.

11. The president may not like them but that's immaterial compared to preparing them for the country. The president's personal comfort is secondary .

12. After years of being saddled with UMNO type leaders, mediocre, corrupt and with mother f***ing faces, the people deserve better. To deny them that is unconscionable .

13. It's not that I am a busy body meddling into the business of PKR choosing its leadership, but the PKR people have a duty to surround Anwar with the best and ablest amongst them.

14. That duty isn't owed to Anwar alone for his benefit but also for the country's. We simply can't allow Malaysia to return to its depraved ways under Malay supremacists.

15. Let's not make PKR as a one trick pony with your incorrect decision. We ALL will lose if Anwar is limited with a low quality leadership.

16. Forget about UMNO; it will not sink and swim with pakatan harapan. It will likely clap its hands , if PKR fumbles. I wouldn't trust UMNO, for all the tea in China.

17. Remember what Machiavelli says, the most fatal mistake is to invite the enemy to share power with you. Anwar trusts UMNO at his peril.

18. If nobody has the courage to tell Anwar this, I will not stand down

19. Anwar isn't infallible when it comes to choosing people. He's a bad judge in choosing people and their talents. He chose some duds from UMNO, didn't he?

20. And talking about people and their talents, let's name names shall we. That's for part 2 ,sirs.

The Putera heights inferno. Our Fukushima? Tales by an unknown blogger. 82

1. Our hearts go out to victims of the towering inferno. The Malaysian Fukushima.

2. To those who survived the loss of loved ones, those injured and to those who have all kinds of property destroyed by the putera heights inferno.

3. I wanted to stay quiet about the inferno. Alas some idiotic and insensitive statements from PETRONAS make me want to speak out.

4. Hey you, PETRONAS cibais, some of us have actual experience in managing oil and gas installations and depot's la. Your statements insult us and a slur to the victims of the inferno.

5. Our first priority is to put out the and contain further damages. Then to do all that is humanly possible to comfort the victims' grief.

6. The agong gave a personal donation, the government pledges financial help and various organizations helped out giving services, food and shelter. Grief is race blind and so is humanitarian help.

7. But I don't see the PETRONAS CEO, the installation people and the PETRONAS contractors who made tons of money from PETRONAS chipping in .

8. I didn't see westar, rockstar or whatever, pipeline suppliers, vendors and ship operators helping out .

9. What happened in putera heights should give us justifiable reasons to retire most of these people.

10. Up till today, we haven't seen the presence of the PETRONAS CEO, the engineering operations manager, the materials manager, the installation manager , the operation superintendent etc. Mana dia olang?

11. Or are they lounging at the petroleum club, feted at nobu or probably holed up at wisma ehsan( the building owned by the late tun daim)'sequestered by sprm where a floor has been turned into a private mess?

12. If they think because they are malays and entitled to be preferentially treated, go f themselves.

13. The 1st statement issued by PETRONAS (its public affairs people are idiots or what) was the explosion at putera heights is isolated .

14. Pray tell, isolated in what sense? In the sense of frequency , maybe

15. Apart from the putera heights inferno, were there any other incidents that were unreported? The eagerness to say it's isolated suggests there were others that maybe unreported. The explosion at putera heights was too severe to shield from public knowledge like possible other incidents.

16 . But its certainly not isolated in terms of the damage done. The death, injury and destruction of properties involved. These are not confined.

17. Therefore, to say its isolated is both insensitive and not thought of carefully by PETRONAS. Insensitive to the victims of the explosion.

18. If I were the PETRONAS boss, I would restructure its communications department. Maybe change its director.

19. That's how an institution which is enjoying an almost monopolistic stature( legislated by the government) behaves. Hubristic and cocky .

20. Then there was the pompous and haughty claim , that our security standards are very strict .

21. On paper maybe but in the field it's a different story. There must have been serious security breaches for the explosion to take place .

22. If reports about a buried excavator are true, then by logical extension , there must have been serious security breaches and lapses of attention for the explosion and the ensuing explosion to take place.

23. That would negate the pompous claim that" our security standards are water tight", wouldn't it?

24. I cannot say much about PETRONASs decision to call off it's hari raya do. I do think it's a proper thing to do

25. Except the speed at which to decide to cancel it , is a bit disappointing. It's typical of the PETRONAS look down attitude on its contactors and ordinary people. It's as though we all owe it a living. If not for public knowledge and sorrow about the explosion, probably PETRONAS ball will go on.

26. Perhaps after this incident, we should apply our own anti trust laws on people like PETRONAS, ltat, tabung Haji, felda, risda , mas, khazanah, EPF and so on. Government induces some competition. I would.

27. Incident of this magnitude must be the result of human error, defective equipment and fittings, unsafe working conditions,



serious breaches of security protocols, unsupervised 3rd party jobs etc.

28. These should be looked into instead of being sidetracked into overgeneralizing about the buried ass scratcher(excavator).

29. That may have nothing to do with the explosion. It's impossible that while the fire was ravaging, some people got time to bury an excavator.

30. Not unless, exploding the pipeline was a premeditated event .

31. When was the last safety audit carried out? Were the periodic safety audits at all?

32. Were the fittings checked? The pipeline, the weldings , the flanges, valves, pressure relief valves, thickness of pipelines, gas detectors, pressure drops etc .

33. Were the fittings of standard ratings? Maybe pipelines are of substandard? Check on the purchasing department in charge .

34. Have there been simulated emergency drills carried out?

35. Were safety protocols strictly followed ? Contractors using no flammable tools, no smoking , proper clothing etc

36. Are contractors work supervised or overseen by engineering superintendents?

37. Invigilate these instead of giving respectability to journalistic speculations

38. Like giving credence to fairy tales of the explosion being caused by force majeure. Ada masjid India type of sinkholes, erosion, thunder, contact workers pissing on pipelines?

39. After all these, see whether the people of putera heights can initiate a class action against PETRONAS to relocate. After a few heads must roll la.

Religious outrage but TLC on corruption. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 81

1. I think Machiavelli was right. It's important to appear religious. You embellish the form, hoping people would infer the substance to be the same .

2. The dichotomy will be apparel soon. You can for instance, divide Muslims into good and bad Muslims. Real or fake.

3. But for the moment,let's assume that the form actually represents the substance. You are a true and good Muslim

4. Religion, in this case, Islam is an integral part of a Muslim . To defend it is to defend life itself.

5. To defend it against any perceived threats, challenges, defiance or even to take it lightly, is meritorious. ( Earning pahala).

6. If you can out- Islam the other fellow, the better. You are regarded a defender of the faith and a dependable fellow

7. So ,as Machiavelli says, it's imperative that you appear to be religious. More vociferous, boisterous, maniacally overzealous, all the more better. It's an obligation for the whole Malay community. Defend life at all costs.

8. In contrast,to be excessively angry at an unimportant and a nickel and dime issue like corruption is not an obligation for the whole community.

9. Sufficient for it to be vociferously articulated by a few souls. That frees the community from an otherwise universal obligation.

10. That, grasshopper, is why i think any threats, challenge and defiance against religion invites a general outrage, while protests against a nickel and dime issue like corruption are only specific and particular .

11. The corollary is similar to Islams fardhu ain and kifayah. Fardhu ain is obligatory to everyone,while fardhu kifayah needs to be done by some. When the latter is done,the obligation for all ceases .

12. But there's one aspect about corruption which I want to address. It's the phenomenon called, worship of crooks

13. It used to be a metaphor..undeserved admiration and reverance for corrupt people. In Malaysia,worship of crooks has become literal. Najib who has been converted continues to be adulated. Wak 47 is glorified. Ismail sabri is starting to be salvaged.

14. Crooks are individuals, men or women who cheated, lied or got exceedingly wealthy using unethical means. When caught, these people will do a Nixon speake, I am not a crook .

15. Najib, despite being convicted by the court and now strenuously trying to extricate himself from 1MDB will deny everything. Perhaps if asked in court, is your name Najib, he will do a Baldric and say, NO. My name is ajib gor.

16. Wak Zahid despite being saddled with 47 charges say he is truthful gentle and compassionate. The people of Bagan latok say he is a pleasant fellow and never assaulted anybody.

17. UMNO people and their social media operatives are saying abang wi mail is a nice person.

18. Worship is blind admiration and reverance for corrupt people, even to the extent of believing they do what they did because they are divinely inspired. Hellilujah!

19. Here is a religious problem for me . In the Muslim religion isn't worshiping something other than God idolatry and blasphemous?it's like stealing from God and cindering them on humans. Isn't that conceited?

20. Those giving prominence to crooks are blasphemous and even apostates. It can lead to the breakdown of society where ethical principles are sidelined.

21. This ties in to the dichotomy I mentioned earlier. We can now actually divide the Muslims into good and bad .

22. Those who support crooks like Najib, Zahid and Ismail are bad Muslims, idolatry blasphemous and even apostates.

23.You are ignoring ethical question and worshipping those with power and wealth acquired by unethical ways.

24. This is something similar to the concept of worshipping Mammon in Christianity.

25. This is misguided admiration where crooks are admired even though they got success through unethical and corrupt means.

26. Those who are corrupt are morally and spirituality flawed, those who support them are also vicariously flawed.

27. Especially if you are a man of religion but you manipulate religious principles to support corruption, then you are spiritually flawed. You are an ulamak ussu'.

28. So if you


think by expressing ferocious outrage over the temple building, I will regard you as Uber Muslim, I will just show you my middle finger. Prove that you are in other ways .

29. The seemingly religious voices are playing the zero sum game much favored by parties like UMNO, pas and bersatu. Which is, you get something only by depriving other groups getting something similar .

30. The Muslims get to build a place of worship only by assertively depriving Hindus from getting their place of worship.

31. Perhaps both sides haven't heard of the concept of a win-win situation.

32. The religious outrage but TLC on corruption reveal some hypocrisy on the part of these people. It's the other side of pompous religionism.

33. They show the erosion and corrosion of moral and spiritual standards. Worse , they lead to the normalisation of corruption. That's why corruption, abuse of power and the like are rampant among those who profess they are religious. Also some other perversions such as sexual trysts, sex abuse etc .

34. Like Samuel Johnson ( the Englishman who conceived the dictionary) who said that nationalism is the refuge of scoundrels, religion is often the cover for many perversions. That is why, it's important to appear Uber religious .

35. When religious people say that what people like Najib, Ismail sabri and others did are meritorious, something deserving admiration and reverance, they must be off their rockers!

36. Doesn't the dichotomy reflects disregard for justice? Crooks and corrupt people are elevated socially instead of being asked to be accountable.

37. Ask the people who spin stories that crooks like Najib and abang long Wi are framed whether they are God fearing, most likely they will say they are

38 . This last bit is an irony. Let me try to explain it as clearly as I can. There is distrust (not trusting as a result of past record) and mistrust ( not trusting future actions) of government and institutions in dealing on corruption issues .

39. Not only society is treating corruption as a side issue, the government and its relevant institutions are treating corruption likewise. That is, just a side issue.

40. The government is not serious in tackling corruption by its slowness, lagardness and its niggardliness in dealing with corruption.

41. Cases involving high profile corruption take a rip van winkle pace to complete , forgetting the fact said by Maynard Keynes ( the economist) that in the long run we are all dead. For example Najib gor is making fun of our judiciary by his filibustering ways.

41(b). As for niggardliness, its a special conduct by the court. The court is stingy for refusing to apply the full force of law by issuing the controversial DNA.

42. A few crooks got DNAA. Najib, Zahid and God forbids, abang long Wi. DNAA rescues the court from refusing to apply the full force of law or probably covers it's stupidity.

43. So society is guilty for treating corruption issues like it does; but government exacerbates the wrong further by its slowness, lagardness and its niggardliness.

44. Grasshopper, that concludes our reasoning as to why corruption issues are treated with TLC.

Sapura-it ain't over yet till the fat lady sings. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 80

1. Am I missing something here. All journalists reporting on sapura are Soo ..o clever.

2. Sapura was reported to make 189m. Yaay

3. But didn't the government advanced it 1. 1b? Which actually means it's 900m in the red

4. It can mean 2 things. First sapura considers it got free money from the government. No need to pay. That's why it didn't include the 1.1b in its account

5. Or it could mean, the government actually considers it Ang pow money. No need to pay

6. But the PM is an honourable man. He says the 1.1b must be paid. When?

7. The PM Anvar Ebraheem can't be lying to us. So boys, the 1.1b stays in sapuras books .

8. Then pray tell, how does sapura turned a profit of 189m? By selling some pubic hair?

9. If it is still considered to have made a profit, it must have done so through the able management of the CEO. Butot? So why fire him?

10. So the claim that sapura made 189m and the CEO got fired don't jive.

11. There's no economic rationale for saving sapura. In a free market private enterprise economy, the principle of profit and loss is important.

12. Indeed the loss part of the equation is more important. It's the part that ensures badly run and poorly managed companies are weeded out .

13. It's the Darwinian principle of economic selection. Who cares if you sebak dada seeing the fate of an incompetently run bumi company.

14. I am sorry, but there's no economic rationale for saving vendors either.

15. They did business with sapura on a voluntary basis. They analyse the risks and opportunity, gains and losses etc. No one forces them .

16. So now, how can they justify the use of public taxpayers money to save them?

17. The hard truth, is the only probable reason why sapura is bailed out, is because it's bumi owned. 18. Then the decision to bail out is race based not economic based .

19. There must have been pressures that the government cannot allow such an ending befall sapura.

20. These people say, sapura has brought fame to the country, showed melayu can semua boleh, so must help . Ignore the ownership structure, the incompetent management, the idiotic and careless investments, the joli katak ways etc. Must help maa.

21. So 'story' not so clever me . How come sapura made 189m but owes the government 1.1b? Unless that amount is not booked in as liability. Sapura regards it as free money and another personalized quantitative easing by the PM

22. Mr PM sir, bad economic decision. It's a judgement call at best

Religious outrage but TLC on corruption. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 79

1. I so wished the same intense outrage, disgust and repulsive anger are directed towards corruption as they are towards the building of a Hindu temple.

2. So, we asked why do malays who are Muslims in name and deed behave like this?

3. It seems that malays are ready to call to arms over the jalan masid India Hindu temple. The spirit is applaudable.

4.even Malay ladies who have not even prayed at the masjid India and will not likely pray at the new mosque to be built, joined in the fray expressing outrage.

5. They go to that area to buy things from wisma yakin or buy costume jewelry and trinkets from the shops there . Most importantly to see and buy the latest clothing material from jakel or to oggle at the clothing material bought by Kak Rosie.

6. Malays, men and women, young and old have joined the fray expressing outrage, disgust at the temple. Outrage has evolved into racism, bigotry and religious intolerance where land granted to Hindus is vehemently opposed. See what it has developed the into?

7. How do you explain this evolution? To my mind, this is the result of years of indoctrination and lies. First by temporal xenophobic nationalism and paranoia. Second, by religious xenophobism and paranoia.

8. Type 1 corruption is almost a religion to the Malay firsters political parties like UMNO, bersatu and their like minded groups. The ecclesiastical warlords are constantly searching for some obscure religious dictates that see corruption as sedekah

9. These political parties share a common trait, they have no political will to control corruption. So, if the teacher pisses off while standing, the students do so while running.

10. A much beloved UMNO and the country's leader , once said that corruption is the grease that lubricates the machine and the engine for economic growth. UMNO people took the saying literally like a duck takes to water.

11. I am surprised that UMNO leaders, past and present are not under SPRMs radar while pas leaders are said to be. Hello, corruption is the oxygen to UMNO la.

12. We all know that pas operates on the principle, wa haramun kalau makan sorang, wa halalun kalau bbagi Dua.

13. And talking about the lack of political will,the pakatan people seem to have contacted this contagious desease. Why is that only Anwar seems to be shrieking and shouting here and there about combating corruption, while others do not.?

14. The harapan people, especially it's ministers including DAP folks are not making combating corruption as part of their job description. Or are they making hay while the sun shines?

15. So if political parties and the government have no political will to combat corruption, don't expect the people, especially the yak yak yay crowd to have the will and determination.

16. People ignore religious and moral sanctions against corruption. Not that they.are not present - they are, but people simply ignore them.

17. Or it could mean, that religious and moral values that see corruption as venal, are not rigorously instilled. Or they are not regarded as important and therefore society takes them lightly.

18. Lack of political will, flippant treatment of religious and moral values, these values not enforced rigorously, make society sees controlling corruption as something trivial. Some sections of the Malay community , see corruption as a petty and a nickel and dime issue, a necessary evil as it were.

19. As a result, sections of the Malay community, pedal the idea that corruption is not something to be ashamed of .

20. A community that is not ashamed of corruption has no honour and no amour propre.

21. As a result, these groups shamelessly ' pasar malam' the slogan ,apa nak malu bossku.

22. Groups that trivialize corruption are not worth our while to support. Now that you know parties like UMNO and pas actually support corruption, do we still want to support them? I hope not.

23. Since 1957,our education system never included corruption as a subject in our syllabus. To be condemned and despised at. If we did , perhaps we could have generations growing up hating and despising



corruption. 24. Instead, the education has come up with the zanny idea of mandating students wear jalur gemilang stickers on their shirts. Woi, all of us including the minister grew up without wearing such stickers on our school uniforms. And our love for the country is not diminished. 25. Then might as well asked all uniform bodies do the same. Police, customs , immigration and so on. Imagine the millions raked in by the sticker supplier/s.

26. I have a better idea. Why not have a photo of a young Rose Chan in all her glory, stitched on uniforms. I am very sure the uniforms will be much loved and preciously looked after .

27. Parents don't teach their children to hate and despise corruption. Taking other people's property, stealing and the like are evil and sinful deeds. Makan duit Haram is Haram and supporting it , is also Haram.

28. We mustn't discount the role played by the lying social media in shaping public opinion. Our social media is awashed with articles and narratives glorifying and celebrating corruption and the Corruptors.

29. How often are we being fed with nauseating narratives saying that Najib is a victim rather than a perpetrator. It's incitement asking us to subvert the law agitating for Najib to get full pardon and be freed. Have we forgotten about his role to be decided in the mother of all heists, 1MDB? 30. What are we to do, if he's found guilty? Again ask for an innocent verdict for a guilty person? Or call for public lynching of the judge?

31. Already a soft landing is prepared for Ismail sabri in the almost 200m graft case. Also by social media operatives saying the case is political.

32. We must never forget that these social media operatives are probably UMNO surrogates. The articles and narratives written by bottom of the barrel material , the bottom feeders and parasites from deep down the bowels of society.

33. If we sane members of society, surrender our critical thinking facilities, we are going to be sucked into the whirlpool of Bonhoeffers collective stupidity. The interests of the many hijacked by a few madmen .

34. The attitude of society as regards such a thing like corruption, is determined also by our own personal values system. If we are the weak and ambivalent type, we will countenance and support corruption. If we look at corruption as a nickel and dime issue, it means we don't care for the integrity and honour of society. We are a society with no shame, honour and amour propre. Imagine a Malay society described as one that has no shame honour and amour propre.

35. A society that has no shame and honour will likely spawn persons who commit corruption but have no shame honour and amour propre. They don't give a damn as to how society looks at them

36. Contrast this to what happened in Singapore in the early 80s. A minister was convicted for corruption. Unable to withstand shame and dishonour, he drank poison and committed suicide. Sorry, I have to use this example. My apologies to the family .

37. If the same stigma is felt here in Malaysia, the man to be charged with the almost 200m graft case would drink a barrelfull of poison. The man already convicted for corruption and is currently charged for grand heist under 1MDB would drink from an Olympic sized pool filled with cyanide.

38. That, grasshopper, concludes our 1st part of this article. In the next installment other aspects of the paradox of religious outrage but loving care of corruption will be discussed.
