DNAA, political leadership, regaining faith and trust, do as promised, prosecutorial evangelism and other issues.

1. Like the mp from pasir gudang, I too won't throw the pm under the bus. But we are discussing about zahid's DNAA, not whether the PM interfered with the judiciary or he didn't.

2. Where the pm erred, weakest or treat the DNAA lightly, I won't be shy to criticize him whether he listens or not, is irrelevant. He is someone appearing as someone who won't listen to anyone .

3. There is a universal condemnation that Zahid was given a DNAA. The public, by and large find it abhorrent and repulsive.

4. If the Judge ignores this universal public revulsion over the DNAA, his choice of decision is on his conscience.

5. Some so called technical experts have apologized, rationalised and exonerated the judge for his judicial insensitiveness and apathy. But who the hell are they? To the general public, the judge, sucks

6. The pm in addition, is not pristine either. You think by emphasising he does not interfere with the judiciary, all is well?

7. He has failed to provide leadership in this instance. Leadership in the sense of a motivation to right a wrong .

8. If he foresees that the junky eyed zahid's case will end in shambles, he must intervene.

9. Such Inglourious end to the case is foreseeable given the half past six brief prepared by the last minute replacement of a DPP.

10. The charge was prepared by AGC, investigation by sprm , decision by the judge. We know that , but was the DNAA justified?

11. Where can the pm interfere? Certainly not with the judge. We have established that. Independence of the judiciary must be preserved at all cost

12. In an earlier article, I have suggested that the pm can supply the judge with more Intel information. I spoke as a politician and with frustration at seeing crooks like Zahid, the proboscis monkey and other UMNO rouges get away with murder .

13. That's an absolute no no. Judicial independence must be protected at all cost. Any suggestions that it is amenable to influence, threats, inducements etc is legally and morally reprehensible. No way Jose!

14. But there is no law which says you cannot cause better Intel reports be given to SPRM and the AGC. So they can provide better report and the AGC prepare a solid brief.

15. I will write about the AG and the prosecution team in another article. For now the self congratulatory speech is too salivating to pass. Good show, old boy.

16. It's jolly good for the pasir gudang mp , saying he won't throw his boss under the bus. That was a pious but pompous statement and this is why.

17. He didn't give his boss truthful and plain advice of how to last long as the great leader.

18. No doubt, abang Non has the zest and enthusiasm to help people. He can Boria with them for he is an excellent communicator.

19. But he didn't tell the Sungai long Bolshevik, he must avoid 2 things, if he wants to stay long as leader .

20. First, PM Anwar must avoid breaking faith with the people . By somehow, causing the Javanese neanderthal be given a DNAA, Anwar loses some trust by the people. Some cannot believe him anymore.

21. He is just sending horrendous message. Which is, you can plunder and steal as much as you can. At the end of the day, if you can kautim the PM and he in turn whispers to the AG, you will have all 47 charges dropped.

22. It's extremely implausible to imagine the AG acting on his own in this very high profile case involving Zahid Hamidi of Bagan latoh.

23. The AG is lawyer to the government, his client. Probably, he received encrypted instructions via a messenger pigeon sent from Sungai long or Putrajaya.

24. The other thing, is that the pm must do what he has promised to do. He has said he wants to send the crooks and wrongdoers to jail. He wants to weed out corruption, eradicate abuse of power, exterminate wastage etc. Mana? Bu DUI, Mei you, gak ada dong!

25. What must Anwar do to redeem himself and regain the trust of the people? Don't be sentimental of Zahid. UMNO is just a paper tiger. Have the proceedings against Zahid, continue.

26. Supply better facts and evidence to AGC and SPRM. Reconstitute the prosecution team if necessary. Have it be composed of determined, resolute and pitbulish prosecutors to win the government's case

27. I am saying all these, because I want Anwar to last long as our leader. I want him to have political longevity. He is our best hope. Believe you me, look at the alternatives. Mahiadin, Hadi and others? You have Malay chauvinism and pas's Islamic chauvinism. Make multiracialism with Anwar work!

Judicial independence, tyranny of the minority and related issues.

1. I listened carefully, the speech given by the pasir gudang mp. He won't throw his boss under the bus. The pm says he doesn't interfere with the judiciary. Judicial independence is intact

2. At the moment we are debating about DNAA. Not about any intrusion on judicial independence. Debating about this bloody DNAA ought not drag in whether the pm has exercised any undue influence on judicial independence.

3. Judicial independence is a given. It must be free from threats, influence or inducements from any parties or any branches of government. Any opinions on the contrary are wrong.

4. In an earlier article, I have mentioned as an opinion, in the exercise of leadership, the pm should give Intel information to the judge. I was and am wrong in giving such opinion.

5. Judicial independence must be preserved at all cost. It is an unasailable and an inviolable principle.

6. In simple terms, we do not interfere in the business of a judge, any judge in deciding cases before him or her.

7. In an adverserial system like ours, the judge decides the case on the basis of arguments of the contending parties. Suppose, in a case the prosecution team prepares a half past six brief and is overwhelmed by the defence team, the judge will decide in favour of the defence team.

8. In a book written by 2 Harvard professors, ziblatt and levitsky, democracy will continue if at least we ensure 3 things are done .

9. The book, called tyranny of the minority , tells us how democracy can continue and be sustained.

10. Similarly, borrowing some ideas from the book, our judicial independence, indeed the whole legal superstructure can be sustained and be continued, if we do at least 3 things.

11. The 3 things we must at least do are:-
A. Accept the decision of the court
B. We must not engage in any violence, aggression and extrajudicial activities aimed at overthrowing the decision of the court
C. We must not support or align ourselves with extremist element seeking to overthrow the court's decision .

12. Everybody talks about judicial independence like it's some airy fairy concept. To ensure actual judicial independence, I think we must at least do these 3 things.

13. When these basic things are not done or are willfully violated, judicial independence and indeed the whole legal superstructure are imperiled.

14. Take the case of alibabavum Najib . BTW, alibabavum is an old Tamil movie about Alibaba, who was actually a thief but romanticized as a folklore hero .

15. The decision of the court is not accepted and is disputed. UMNO leaders engaged in all sorts of extrajudicial activities, the CJ threatened. UMNO leaders demand a royal pardon to circumvent the courts decision. They align themselves with extremist elements ready to create trouble .

16. If we do not do at least the basic things, then don't talk la about protecting the superstructure of the law( rule of law, supremacy of the law, judicial independence yada yada). Provocations by the extremists and UMNO leaders are not song and dance issues. They are a kind of insurrection that must be dealt with decisively and with the full force of the law. Hey, the proud boys in the USA January 6th insurrection got more jail time than red lips Najib got. And they didn't steal any money.

17. Having said that principle of judicial independence is a non contestable issue, I am however appalled at the tortiese pace of the legal process.

18. It takes years for some cases, especially corruption cases to come to a finality. Stranger things happened here in the jungle of the law than in the jungles of India, described by Rudyard Kipling.

19. Everything seems to end in the long run, which is ridiculous. In the long run, says the economist John Maynard Keynes, we are all dead.

20. I have heard about justice rushed is justice crushed, but in Malaysia, its more of the case of, justice delayed, is justice denied .

21. As I have said, the length time by which some cases reached finality, has reached ridiculous proportions. Allow me to embellish it thus:-

22. Finally, I am agitated when some people say the judge has no choice, don't blame judges and courts and so on.

23. Hoi hello, some British judges in history were corrupt and abusive and self serving. They were rightly condensed and punished. Over here, judges are not sacrosanct and are not sacred cows. They can also err and when they do, can be criticised and blamed

24. That sir and Madam, is my opinion. My own opinion, says Christopher Hitchens, is enough for me. I claim the right to have it defended against any consent and majority any place, anywhere and anytime. And if you don't like it, get a ticket, fall into line and kiss my ass.'

Conduct unbecoming. The judge, yahoo boys and the PM.

1. Hurrah! Belts off, pants down . Isn't life's a scream? The PKR yahoo boys want parliament to debate the conduct of AGC in giving the thug wak jahid, a DNAA .

2.i am not exaggerating. It's jahid. If you don't believe me, listen to DAPs nga kor Meng pronouncing the mp of Bagan latoks name. Jahid, not Zahid.

3. At this point, I'd better tell readers, the origin of PKR yahoo boys. It's not name calling.

4. Many years ago, an important PKR youth leader called on a business colleague. As we were in business we thought it was good for our business if we cultivate this PKR Leader. So I asked my colleague to bring him out for dinner.

5. After dinner, the PKR guy wanted to go for a karaoke session. Well, I asked my colleague, did you enjoy it? I didn't, said my colleague. But he did.

6. He's like kerbau lepas kandang. The first he did at our table in the karaoke joint, was to shout on top of lungs, yahoo! That's why from that day onwards, I have been calling the PKR Young people, PKR yahoo boys!

https://youtu.be/kZ0NVhUUfwY?si=u2IxzhSafkhwt2Rq

7. Now, the PKR yahoo boys are asking parliament to debate the conduct of the AGC. Their agitation and calls will at least give the public, an illusion, that out of their conscience,PKR youth is doing something about the Zahid DNAA.

8. I am telling you, that the calls and agitation will amount to nothing. The matter will not be debated in parliament. Their arousal will wilt,as it were.

9. Already some senior PKR leaders said the DNAA was a court decision. The biggest kahuna alias papa Non said, he doesn't interfere with the court. Given these preemptive statements, do we think asking for a debate will materialize? Nahi, nein!

10. The public won't be cowered though. We want the conduct of the AGc debated. Not the courts. 2 seperate thing, la.

11. The conduct of the AGc is very very questionable. Why should it now retreat from the proceedings, after having succeeded in establishing a prima facie case?

12. It seems to suggest, that once getting the initial orgasm, the AGC is not preparing for the final climax carefully or has prepared a chinchai brief.

13. In asking for a DNAA, it seems to be exercising a fait acompli and arm twisting the court. What it asks, the judge must give.

14. It is behaving like the AGC has a sense of entitled-its feels it is entitled to get what it asks, a DNAA.

15. It would appear then, that the virus of UMNOs Bumiputera-ism agenda,has also infected the AGC and the DPP.

16. Hence it walks around with a sense of entitlement. What it asks, it will definitely get.

17. In that respect, the conduct of the judge is not very commendable. He has countenanced being cajoled, having his arm twisted and validate the AGCs mediocrity. I still stand for saying, rather than agreeing to Justice's d & C, he should have severely reprimanded the DPP.

18. He is also complicit with the DPP in defrauding the people. The people feel cheated for the court not trying jahid.

19. As to the yahoo boys , I think it was all a put on show. Just to show the public they are concerned and doing something about it .

20. It's a wasteful endeavor, like pouring salt into the sea or bringing coal to Newcastle. Already PKR senior leaders don't want it debated. So what the yahoo boys are doing is what the Chinese say, much thunder, little or no rain. Like shooting blanks.

21. By the way, don't get upset at being called Yahoo boys. The DAP people are also called names- dapigs, ks's running dogs, redbean soldiers, cina Bukit, jinjang Joes etc. The pemuda UMNOs are the dangdut brigades. They are more interested at hitting on the pu3s and patronizing the dangdut joints around Sari Pacific.

22. In making noises about the conduct of AGC and the infamous DNAA, the yahoo boys are doing 2 things.

23. First, by all means, blame somebody. In this case the AGC. Secondly, to deflect or divert from the real issue. Play Tai Chi a little bit. These 2 things are the typical habits of UMNO. UMNO blames the DAP for its own deficiencies and divert attention from looking on what UMNO does do for the Malay masses.

24. It would appear that these bad habits have caught on with the yahoo boys. The real issue is an honest evaluation of the involvement or abstinence of their Great Leader, Kim Jong an war.

25. Rather, they would be better off by honestly evaluating the political longevity of Anwar. Say honestly and without fear, that Anwar has done 2 fatal political moves .

26. First, Anwar has broken faith with the people. By doing or not doing anything with zahid's case, he is seen as the person giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to the Javanese neanderthal.

27. He didn't point a gun at the judge's head, yes. But what's stopping him from giving inputs and information to the judge? He has intelligence reports from various institutions. Give the judge. Help the judge to make better and informed decision.

28. Because he did not do these, he is estopped from claiming non interference with the judiciary. Saying he doesn't is not believed anyway.

29. All told, he has broken faith with the people. He won't be trusted anymore and thus will not last long. The people want Zahid to get his due punishment. Anwar is seen as frustrating this and will be punished .

30. Secondly, Anwar hasn't done the things he says he will do. He incessantly talks about rasuah, sakau, membazir, Salah Guna kedudukan etc. Tapi habuk pun tarak.

31. Anwar cannot hope and depend on the yahoo boys to give honest evaluation and speak with candour .

32. They aren't interested to see papa Non last long. Perhaps they are interested to make hay while it shines. Reformasi only makes you a better perasuah and pesakau .

33. I can almost see Anwar reading whisperingly the poem from TS Eliot.

34. I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope,
For hope is to hope for the wrong thing,
To wait without love, for love is to love for the wrong thing,
Yet there is faith. But the hope, love and faith are all in waiting .

35. So, hang tunggu sampai tua. Waiting for a decent response from your Yahoo boys is like Waiting for Godot .

36. He must do the right thing. Provide facts and information so that the prosecution can reopen high profile corruption cases. Especially on Zahid and the proboscis monkey.

37. Otherwise, he'll just be the Lear jet , limousine or the LV liberal. Or the Sungai long Bolshevik.

Conduct unbecoming. The Judge.

1. Some lawyers say the judge in Zahids DNAA infamy had no choice. He was trapped between a rock and a hard place.

2. The prosecution applied for a DNAA while the defence asked for a total acquitted. Manyak susah wo.
If I swallow the mother dies, if I spit it out , the father dies .

3. I suppose it's a difficult decision for a high court judge to make, harder for a court of appeal judge, harder still for a judge sitting at the federal court .

4. Well, I think it was Robert Duvall or Michael Caine character in the Eagle has landed, who says difficult decisions is the privilege of rank .

5. I am sorry, after a decision has been made, don't make an excuse you took decision A because you had no choice.

6. If between total acquittal and DNAA, you chose the latter, it means you have a choice when you decided on the latter.

7. You have a choice to refuse both and decide that the trial or proceedings to go on .
8. How do you reconcile the current decision when almost 2 years ago, you ruled that there exists a prima facie case . Are you licking your own spit?

9. The judge should have reprimanded the prosecution bozo .
10. Whether the prosecution is prepared or not, having ruled there was indeed a prima facie case, the trial must go on. It's not the business of the judge to countenance possible mediocrity on the part of the prosecution.

11. Having made the bed, we all must now lie on it. The judge must go on because he has ruled ada prima facie case. The prosecution must go on having argued for legal culpability .

12. Like Alice, it's getting curiouser and curiouser. The conduct of the judge is perplexing. By acceding to the request of the DPP, it means he indeed has a choice, one made by the DPP. He has played favorites.

13. That's hardly a commendable conduct! YAA CJ, Potong dia punya gaji

14. This is what happens when you let things to be decided by lawyers only. It's sensible when Dick the butcher, in Shakespeare's Henry VI, says, the first thing we do, is kill all the lawyers!

15. This reminded me of a caveat by a famous judge, justice is not a technical game to be decided solely by technical experts. It's a living force that must be decided with wisdom and compassion. These two commodities seem to be better supplied by the reasonable public.

16. All right thinking people should find it repulsive at attemps to obfuscate, to engage in verbal gymnastics to make the judge superclean, sanitized and pristine .

17. Mengaku saja Lah, by acceding to the request of the blasted DPP, the judge has become an assesory in the commission of a travesty of justice. A minor assesory perhaps, but nevertheless an assesory.

18. The duty of the judge is to make the law live and breathe. By granting the DNAA, the law has gone comatose. The judge ought to dear in the pursuit of justice even though his decision leads to unpopularity. His duty is not just to apply the law technically, but to arrive at a just decision the serves the interest of society best.

19. Right now, the overriding interest of society, is to see all crooks recieved their appropriate comeuppance. Whether they robbed from a sovereign fund, from tabung haji, from a Yayasan, from rubber smallholders fund, they all must bite the dust.

20. So dear judge, don't worsen our winter of discontent . Make it glorious by the sun of justice.

Is the DNAA , a D&C, forced abortion to our justice system?

1. I am dumbfounded at hearing that Zahid was given a DNAA . He was asked to enter defense earlier signalling there is case to answer. Suddenly the DPP proposed to discontinue the case and the judge accordingly granted it.

2. Dusuki Mokhtar did an Oppenheimer, inventing and dropping an hydrogen bomb on the Malaysian justice system.

3. I am inclined to believe, as Mr Bumble says, the law is an ass and an idiot .

4. If we have believed that the duty of a judge is to make the law live and breathe, the opposite has now happened .

5. It seems the judge has murdered the law. It is dead and breathless. The law cannot protect the weak against the strong. It's no longer a shield for the oppressed but a sword of the oppressor.

6. Now that the DPP wants to study the case further, justice is delayed. As one famous judge said, justice delayed is justice denied.

7. When the DPP concerned says the AG chambers wants to study the case further, it suggests the prosecution has a weak case. Or it means the case was prepared and written by not so clever DPPs and IOs.
If that is so, then it behoves the AG to terminate their services .

8. We simply have no time for timid souls, who pulled their hands back when it should have been alang2 peluk pekasam, biar sampai ke pangkal lengan. Having made the bed, you must now lie on it

9. Nearly 2 years ago, the court has established that the prosecution has proven that there was a prima facie case. So now at this advanced and late stage of the proceedings, for the prosecution to discontinue the proceedings, is unconscionable.

10. After establishing a prima facie case, calling numerous witnesses, expending court time and so on, to discontinue the proceedings is a waste of public funds and disrespectful of the courts. Yes, certainly the government through the AG chambers have a lot of things to explain to the public.

11. Some lawyers say the court is blameless and should not be faulted for discontinuing the proceedings, yada yada. Forgive me, I disagree with this argument

12. Let me remind such lawyers, that justice is done in the courts, not in the AGs chambers. A request and a representation has been made by the prosecution, the judge can either refuse or consent to it, can't he?

13. So by agreeing and possibly not paying attention to the ability to refuse the application, the court is complicit in the perversion of justice . No, the court is not shielded from this travesty. No sir.

14. The law is not a technical game to be spoken of only by so called experts . very often spoken of in fuzzy terms by these people to intimidate them . The law as a famous judge says, is a living force to be spoken of with wisdom and compassion

15. The judge in dispensing justice must be fearless and never must capitulate to political expediency. In this case, we find none of these.

16. So it's not true to say the court is insulate from blame but rather is complicit in the perversion of justice.

17. The diffident attitude of the court and the bizzare withdrawal of the proceedings, has enabled the infamous person of interest here, to gloat cockilly.

18. Aren't we ashamed, when Zahid, amidst the jubilance , in typically UMNO condescending way, says he hopes with the DNAA, all political persecution and prosecution will end.

19. DNAA sounds eerily like DNC, forced abortion of the law, made possible by the judge and the prosecution team.

20. Isn't Zahid figuratively speaking and implying that his own prosecution was and is politically motivated as do all other prosecution against the other UMNO crooks?

21. That sounds a bit shitty to me - the DPM of the ruling government saying that sort of thing? He is bloody undermining the rule of law in this country.

22. And hello, no one is above the law, sir. Wasn't it Lord Denning who said , be ye ever so high, the law is above you ?

23. Since when is the AG chambers an extension of an UMNO department? Leaked documents and memos take place and are being used by UMNO people with wanton abandon?

24. Those who actually leaked them, allowed the leak to happen, enabled the leak should be punished accordingly. That's tata kelola not tadak telor .

25. Also, we must stop regarding this prosecution as a vigilante move by a non Malay(Tommy Thomas) towards a Malay. The idea of thinking that because a prosecution is started by a non Malay and therefore must be defective and malicious, is nonsensical. Biar cerdik sikit la.

26. If you do a wrong and is caught out, you will face the law . Justice, is afterall, blind.

27. A few disagreeing voices in the AG chambers do not make the prosecution politically motivated.please leave your stupidity at Menara Hussein Onn will you?

28. We are more concerned about the leaks of internal memos and the like from the AG's office. How do these take place?

29. It can only mean that there are bad apples in the AG's office who served as informants to outside parties. Worse, we cannot discount the possibility that they do this for money .

30. The DNAA and the leaks have allowed UMNO propagandists to spin lies that further undermine the law of the land .

31. One favourite lie, is to generalise that UMNO crooks have no cases to answer. Thus the Zahid DNAA has led to calls to drop all cases against the chief crook, Najib. See, the DNAA as a result of the recklessness of a judge, has opened the floodgates to more D&C, eh DNAAs and even acquittals.

32. As to calls to drop cases against Najib, let me remind the idiot who said so, of Aristotle's remark in Ethics. One swallow does not a summer make, nor one fine day. Zahid's, perhaps a temporary fortune, may not be repeatable on Najib, samdol!

33. Herr oberlieutenant DPP must have gotten his marching orders from Herr Oberst AG. Could it be a last defiant cry from an AG scorned?

34. If so, then Herr Oberst AG Got a lot of explanation to do to us, the reasonable man. Please treat us so. We are not mere digits nor dumb asses.

35. But I doubt he will give us a believable explanation. As usual, he will give us a cock and bull story or any grandmother's tale.

36. Herr Oberst AG may possibly take instructions from Herr general, IE generalissimo Chiang An War . Here, the story gets more interesting.

37. As usual, the PM gave a standard issue answer -he does not interfere in the affairs of the judiciary.
38. But when he says, the AG has full powers and authority, that is extremely dissapointing.

39. For, it is clear he did not provide the Leadership required. In this instance to prevent a grievous wrong being committed.

40. Without a doubt, he knows the Javanese neanderthal stole monies from Yayasan takde Akal and takde Budi, yet he allowed the bloody man be given mouth to mouth resuscitation.

41. Hopefully, he doesn't administer the resuscitation himself. The java man may have eaten petai, jering or kerdas before passing out.

42. Obviously, mamu Anwar has forgotten or ignored the advice given by the great Lee Kuan Yew on Leadership, especially on how to last long as one

43. Sure, he has the desire to help other people or put the interests of people before his own. And he is excellent in communicating with them. But to last long as a leader, he needs to do at least 2 other things .
44. According to LKY, in order to last long as a leader, never break faith with the people and actually do the things you said you want to do .

45. Even if he did not do anything (non feasance), ie refrain from doing the right thing to prevent a more horendous thing from happening, regrettably people have lost faith in Anwar as an upholder of the law. Our country isn't a Negara hukum after all

46. His pompous inaction will prevent judges from using the law to protect the weak from the strong and prevent the law to be used as a shield but allowed the law to be used as a sword by the powerful .

47. Blood is in your hands, as it were, Mr PM sir. Now, cocky, emboldened and thuggish Zahid together with UMNO cybertroopers are slashing and stabbing everyone and institutions which they think have wronged them. You, Mr PM sir has unleashed the psychological terror .

48. It's UMNOs version of the night of the long knives and the cybertroopers, UMNOs brownshirts wreaking havoc.

59. On stage, the PM prances around, gettin'jiggy, jiggles around and shouts shrieking like with his typical nasal voice about rasuah, sakau, tata kelola, curi etc, but as Clara Peller the octogenarian asks, where's the beef?

50. The things that he mentions, have not been done substantially and emphatically. Or, have been done, but done in a leisurely manner, temperate and so magnanimous.

51. It's being done, like doing a painting, making crochet, eating pasembor, nasi kandar or drinking teh tarik. Don't spare, the rod la.

52. The fight against all the evils the pm spoke about cannot be so courteous,kind, temperate,gentle etc . It must dealt with some form of violence and roughness. For goodness sake, have some rough sex!

53. It's an overthrow of one parasitic class by another, the powerful by the weak, the corrupt by the virtuous. A revolusi not reformasi.

54. If the pm doesn't do all these, he'll be just a Louis Vuitton liberal.

55. The political longevity of the pm, is being determined by what he does not do. Doesn't cultivate the trust of the people by breaking faith and not doing what he said he would do .

56. In part 1 of this article, I have given arguments as to why I think the DNAA to Zahid suck. In part 2, I will argue the opposite. Why I think the DNAA is advantage to Anwar . Meat for him , but poison to Zahid.

The elder anarchist, the other side of Mahathir and kakistocracy. Part 3.

1. Please don't take it lightly. There is only 1 political system which will allow and enable Mahathir's racial hegemonic designs. It's a dictatorial, autocratic and unitary rule.

2. The prescriptions of the doctor can only be supported by a dictatorial regime. Mahathir's Malay Malaysia and malayanised economy can only thrive under Kim Jong Det.

3. Beware of the subtle putsh towards the creation of an Orwellian society preferred by the evil doctor.

4. In such a society, every aspect of public life, will be controlled by a committee of commissars. Of course the final say will be determined by Kim Jong Det.

5. That's the twisted and immoral logic of The Great Leader dr Mahathir in arriving at his dream State. Of course such a state will be baptized and declared sharia compliant by the ecclesiastical dictators.

5. It's part secular and part ecclesiastical wet dream state of Mahathir. It's achieved at the cheap cost of surrendering your scepticism and critical faculties.

6.its some sort of part secular and part divine North Korea. Under that political system Mahathir can ram through any policy he likes-malay Malaysia, malaynised economy or Mahathirnomics.

7. The feudal minded, the free loaders, the layabouts, those who like to see peasants slaved and provide them a luxury lifestyle and they Lord over things etc, will warm up to Mahathir's reactionary ideas .
 

Hence they shout loudly, ready to quarrel with anybody and complained bitterly when the gathering to declare Malay rights is denied. Because they see a privileged and a life of entitlement, go up in smoke .

9. Meanwhile, the ecclesiastical dictators are already indicating the creation of a regimented society where our critical faculties would be exterminated.

10. For example, we now have the presence of a morality police in parliament, where all this while we thought his kind existed in the land of fantasized purity of Kelantan. We are wrong.

11. While we see our nurses or missy wearing proper and becoming attire, the Kuantan mp sees nurses wearing tight and therefore sexually excitable clothing . Perhaps his divine eyes can see what the nurses are wearing underneath their attire, which cause unbeatable stirrings at his loins .

12. I don't care if he's silly enough not to take the opportunity to speak about the spending on COVID vaccines. I am more alarmed at the ominous message he is bringing .

13. The impending doom which the bugger is talking about, nay pray for,is the creation of an Orwellian society.
14. A society in which every aspect of life will be controlled and regulated by strict pompous moral codes. Soon every women will wear jilbabs and chador. Men will have to sport beards and all non Muslim men will have to be circumcised. Hurrah! For a gloomy society .

15. The latest danger that's threatening us, is the speech by the newly appointed mb of klate. It's irresponsible and divisive.

16. That cleric says that those who oppose pas, oppose the strive for Islam. You are judged and convicted for having a different political persuasion and denomination.

17. For now you are judged and convicted for having a different political belief but soon it will be generalised to being punished for being different.

18. So, non Malays will have no future and a multiracial country is anathema. It's a country dreamt of by the other side of Mahathir and the ecclesiastical dictators.

19. So if we love this multiracial country, all reasonable people must reject the entreatments of Mahathir and the ecclesiastical dictators.

20. Having said the above, I find one criticism by Mahathir which is persuasive, credible and a bit difficult to dispute. That is, this country is fast becoming a kakistocracy. IE rule by incompetents.

21. Except I wouldn't go as far as saying that this country is a kakistocracy. Mahathir is of bies course being melodramatic. How else to catch the attention of the political zombies?

22. Here's how I look at it. There are above average, average and below average performers. The below average performers are dragging the work quality of the government.

23. Whether you like it or not, the hard truth is the above average performers are the DAP people. Perhaps they have the determination and resolve to do their jobs well for the country .

24. Their work ethics and quality, have earned them racist disapprobation. Mahathir et all, have accused the government as being dominated by the DAP. That is preposterous -the truth is the Malay ministers are not up to the mark .

25. So stop blaming others for your own deficiencies. Mahathir should start looking at his own team .

26. Notwithstanding all the above, why is it important to have the right people for the right jobs? Or to avoid placing square pegs in a round hole?

27. Because when that trust is violated or when you entrust the wrong people to do a job, then doomsday or in this case, the downfall of the government will come .

28. It is reported that the prophet of Islam was giving a sermon. A Bedouin walked in and asked, when will doomsday or kiamat come?

29. The prophet did not answer immediately. At the end of the sermon, the prophet asked. Who was the one who asked about kiamat? It is I, said the Bedouin.

30. Kiamat will come when trust is violated. The other companions asked. When is trust violated?

31. Thus when I see ministers endorsing a certain film in which they know nothing about, or uttering nonsensical things like, kita lagi kuat boh, I knew something is terribly wrong.

32. These ministers like you and I, are just movie watchers. They are probably more eager to get the phone numbers of the female artistes and hoping to score. Hehe.

33. This whole business about putting square pegs in a round hole must begin with the PM, papa Non, himself.

34. He must stop 'cheapening' himself. Eating ikan Bakar, nasi biryani, pasembor or Mee Abu and publicising them. We know la. Hang suka tu , chombi

35. He should reduce becoming a street agitator and demagogue rabble rouser. That role should be taken over by the PKR yahoo boys

36. In doing all those,he makes it easy for some people to contemptuously ridicule him and to mockingly criticise him .

37. In my mind, he must be ready to apply the iron hand. He must start becoming a strict disciplinarian on errant ministers and pesky trouble makers.

38. Forget the celebration of differences and of artificial liberalism. Like Lee Kuan Yew, when you are pushed to the corner, you must come out with the brass knuckles.

39. Never be shy to use something similar to the Isa on repugnant people;such as those who want to use different theme for Merdeka. They are acting treasonous.

40. It's an inexcusable abberation, that must be dealt with firmly. Remember, as Lee Kuan Yew said, sending your opponents to jail, is like making love to a virgin. It's painful initially, but is pleasurable subsequently.

41. Perhaps, the PM is imprisoned by the reformasi slogan. So, the political process becomes so tempered and magnanimous. Such that the pm cannot act decisively.

42. The whole reformasi thing, is that it represents a huge slack on pmx. It curtails him from doing the assertive action.

43. Failure to take decisive actions,makes the whole reformasi movement, so leisurely and placid. Reformasi is like doing a painting, making embroidery, drinking teh Tarik, eating pasembor or eating nasi kandar beratoq .

44. And failure to do so will make the pm seem hypocritical. He is but a smoked salmon socialist, gauche caviar, limousine and Lear jet liberal and the latest, a Louis Vuitton liberal. He is forever regarded as a pathological liar. Therefore act!

45. I am suspicious of the phrase reformasi. It's slow and imperceptible. It can also mean you become a better thief, embezzler and more dishonest, on the quiet side.

46. I prefer the term revolution. It must involve a little violence and upheaval because it's the overthrow of one class by another. The oppressor by the oppressed, the dishonest by the righteous!

47. In the next and final part, I will discuss the other average and below average performers. Rafizi for instance gave a convoluted story that failed to explain why the ringgit dived. The trade minister tells an economy created by spurious results .

Vanishing UMNO. Part 1

1. Let UMNO fade into insignificance, let us not be sorry UMNO is fast becoming irrelevant. The hard truth is people no longer like UMNO and will not give two hoots whatever happens to UMNO.

2. For all they care, UMNO can go to hell, fade into oblivion or self implode. They all want to perform the last rites on oomno .

3. Can UMNO moderate itself? When someone asks such a question, I feel like laughing.

4. That's asking UMNO to be ordinary, run off the mill, temperate etc. Like AR Tompel says,'impossible'!

5. With the bellicose, xenophobic and paranoid voices coming from the 2nd echelon UMNO leaders, asking UMNO to moderate itself is like asking a camel to go through a needle hole .

6. For example, the berserked and almost maniacal noises from the UMNO youth head, seemed to find consonance with the UMNO hoi polloi, that to ask UMNO to slow down is like asking a driver speeding at 120mph to suddenly engage the reverse gear. The car can overturn and perhaps kill all the passengers . That can happen to UMNO .

7. The great economist, Milton Friedman wrote a book called Bright promises, Dismal performance. That's how I looked at UMNO. It promises the moon and the stars, but only a few bought .

8. UMNO won 19 of the 108 seats it contested. There's a joke making its round among the chattering class, that the number of charges faced by jahid are more than UMNO seats won, combined . ( Pru +prn).

9. UMNO then , is the proverbial carcass of a monitor lizard carried by PH. It's the sick-man of the unity government.

10. As expected of UMNO, it must find somebody to blame for its dismal performance. It's typical for UMNO to find a scapegoat. And the one ,most convenient is wak jahid, the lazy and not so smart ' presideng'.

11. What UMNO wants to do with the Bagan latok neanderthal, we don't Care. The UMNO cavemen can even string Zahid by his balls,for all we care. It's no skin off our noses .

12. But when some UMNO quarters start blaming others, especially the DAP for instance, this behavior confirms that UMNO is in a state of non compos mentis .

13. UMNO is suffering from a massive don Quixote syndrome. It fancies itself a knight or an invincible adi Putra striking out at Chinese dragons or Indian nagas

14. Perhaps suffering from mad cow disease also, some UMNO mental retards attribute it's poor performance to its association with DAP.

15. That view is both erroneous and preposterous. A few examples can easily debunk such a myopic view .

16. At the first level, DAP contests in non Malays dominated areas and usually against non Malays candidates. Malay votes are insignificant there .

17. Secondly, DAP also contests in mixed areas where non Malay population is around 30 to 40%. To win,DAP will need 20 to 30% Malay votes, assuming it gets 80% non Malay votes .

18. DAP needs free will Malay votes, but is hardly hard up of Malay votes. It's a case of melukut ditepi gantang, keluar tak mengurangi, Masuk tak menambah

19. Hence to ditch mein Fuhrer Zahid will not solve the woes UMNO is facing. To assign importance to Zahid either way, is to assign importance to him much more than he deserves. The man deserves nothing .

20. Zahid has provided a populist, pat you in the back leadership and a clueless direction for UMNO. But the UMNO delegates chose him democratically and must also remove him the same way. Having made your bed, you must now lie in it .

21. Then there is the question of would Zahid leave UMNO and by necessity, the post of DPM? My answer is nein! Nahi!

22. If Zahid were to leave the 2 posts, he would be naked as it were. He would no longer has the illusion of protection from the 2 posts .

23. And imagine if Zahid were to be naked. Some people will faint and small children will get nightmares.

The elder anarchist.Part 2

1. One of the most contentious and disputed issues raised by Mahathir is his view that multiracial Malaysia is against the Malaysian constitution.
 

2. Hence the calls to form and describe Malaysia as a multiracial country is against the constitution.
 

3. To Mahathir, Malaysia is a Malay country. The non Malays can physically cohabit the country of course, provided they willingly subsume their culture, language to Malay cultural expressions.
 

4. The plurality of cultures is possible because our constitution allowed it. To rant about it now , I think is bridge under the water, the rice has become porridge as it were.
 

5. By Mahathir's logic, the fault is with the constitution. Then, change the constitution. Rename Malaysia. Peninsula Malaysia ought to be renamed federation of Malay states. East Malaysia ought to become federation of Borneo.
 

6. But sometthings don't turn out the way you want them to. You can't put back the toothpaste in the tube. The constitution allowed and tolerated pluralism.
 

7. If mahathir cannot change the social constructs when he had power and controlled parliament, it's unfair to expect Anwar who had been in power for not even a year to change things as Mahathir wanted. Furthermore , who want to accept Mahathir's final solution?
 

8. Mahathir's racial hegemony is not as comprehensive as Hitler's Aryan race, but eerily similar to Mussolini's 1939 manifesto on race. Mahathir's touted and much bitched about Malay declaration is but a toxic race rhetoric.
 

9. Shall we now call present day Mahathir as our own IL duce ? At the end of the day, what he ventilated on race, is toxic rhetoric.
 

10. Whatever Mahathir said on race, was just his ventilation and rhetoric. They are meant to attract and secure the allegiance of Malay rednecks and irrationals. The run amok types and the readily quarrelsome types. They are also his desperate attempts to stay relevant in Malaysian politics.
 

11. Having been unsuccessful in restructuring Malaysia as he wanted, he is estopped from doing what he wants. That not a legal estoppel, but a political estoppel.
 

12. Sure enough, Mahathir has attracted the allegiance of the cerebral layabouts and laggards who gleefully based their reasoning on Anwar being a pathological liar and insinuations that he is a supporter of lbgt persuasions .
 

13. Asked why he had not structured Malaysian society as he wished when he had the power, Mahathir answered apologetically and with a straight- face
 

14. Despite enjoying near absolute power for 22 years and a further 18 months, Mahathir says he has only achieved partial success. This is because he is hampered by several constraints.
 

15. Firstly, Mahathir says he was constrained by the large population of the non Malays compared to Malays. The sizeable number of non Malays allowed them to resist Malay hegemonic designs by Mahathir.
 

16. Plus of course when push comes to shove, Mahathir actually, doesn't have an absolute rule quotient in his constitution.
 

17. But soon, the population argument would no longer be relevant. By 2030, the population of the Malays is expected to be around 80%. Now, if you remove the population argument, the only determinant for the success or failure of Mahathir's racial hegemonic designs is a dictatorial political system .
 

18. While Mahathir may not have a dictator quotient in his blood, the same cannot be said of the dour din 'puffy' Yassin or the eclesiastical dictator, Hadi Al marang.
 

19. A more important constraint Mahathir faced, was an is the economic dominance of the non Malays. Since, political power comes from the barrel of the economic gun, the non Malays can resist any racial hegemonic agenda pushed by Mahathir.
 

20. As to the reasons why the Malays cannot achieve economy dominance as quickly as Mahathir wants and therefore thwart his racial agenda, that would be the subject of a seperate article. You just cannot legislate 'the want to' mentality. That's part of the culture argument of the doctor.
 

21. The most important reason as to why we should object and reject Mahathir's prognoses , is that both his multiracial Malaysia is against the constitution and a forceful economic redesign- is that both is supported by one kind of political system.
 

22. The political system which we are talking about is the system of the dictator, the system of autocratic and unilateral rule. All right thinking Malaysians must vociferously object and reject Mahathir's thinking on this.
 

23. Mahathir's ideas are against the charter of the freeman . The charter of the freeman is to be free from all forms of coercion. Be that from secular people like Mahathir, mahiadin and people of their ilk or from the eclesiastical dictators like the mad mullahs.
 

24. While I disagree with Mahathir's racial agenda, there is a cogent, potent and even venomous thinking from him that I find difficult to dispute.
 

25. The Anwar government is fast becoming a kakistocracy. That is not a Malay word. It is an English term, meaning a government of incompetents.

The discussion on that will be in part 3.

The elder statesman or elder anarchist. Part 1

1. Whether you like it or you don't like it learn to live with it. The doctrinaire, prejudiced and ultra rightist thinking of dr m, attracts the scruffy looking and cerebrally challenged tick-tokers and vlogers to it. Well, false patriotism and extremism is the refuge of scoundrels.

2. Dr M's ultra rightist thinking becomes a natural magnet attracting the riff Raff of society, the quarrel some, the combative and the naturally adverserial types

3. As a result, Dr M's scummy ideas find resonance among the scum of society. It's true when they say the cream rises to the top, but so does the scum. The ease by which our multimedia operates, allow all Tom dick and Harry to give their 2 cents worth of opinion.

4. There you have it. That's how I described the degenerates who are attracted to the zanny ideas of papa doc Mahathir. Scruffy looking tick tockers and quarrelsome Joe's. If you are not happy with the way I described them, you can shove your angst at the part of your anatomy where the sun does not shine.

5. I think it is futile and a waste of time to debunk Dr M's thinking with all the legal argle bargle or describing the old man's ideas as hate speech.

6. Such counter arguments are of no use as they will not move a man who can't be bothered if he's remembered or not or a man who doesn't expect to be 98 and who doest not expect to live beyond 75.

7. Dr m is an old man sitting on a rocking chair disturbing passing young girls. You can't fault him for that.

8. Dr M laments the the Malaysian economy is still in the doldrums. Economic recovery is not instantaneous and is a work in progress. It is unreasonable to say that pm Anwar Ibrahim wants to preside over a stagnant economy. To create a tiger economy is not a monopoly of dr m. Such an economy is doable by anyone else too .

9. Papa doc Duvalier M, says the government is a kleptocratic government. That's a dragnet statement scooping all life forms in the ocean. Yet the statement is unsubstantiated and not supported by proofs.

10. The statement, though unsubstantiated is seductive and persuasive precisely because it's difficult to disprove .

11. Corruption, small or big and it's rawrest form, kleptocracy started during M's time. The enabling structure was spawned by him. So ,by extension it's logical to assume the same cancerous things would also happen during Anwar's time.

12. But that could only happen if we were to assume that Anwar would create the same environment as Mahathir did. So far we have not have any proofs and can substantiate that kleptocracy is alive and well under Anwar's government.

13. Sure, we have heard of 1MDB, who Kapur the 42m who has 47 charges, the LCS scandal, the opv or the howitzer guns. All these were committed by UMNO people who were cultured by Mahathir. Anwar is not severally liable for these dastardly acts .

14. So for Mahathir to say that Anwar's government is corrupt or to use the exotic term kleptocratic, is both miscellaneous and irresponsible. The statement is rhetorical and will needlessly be repeated ad nauseam by misguided souls. Just because corruption is carried out by Mahathir's UMNO progenies, the same cannot be also said about Anwar's people. Not yet and not so fast .

15. Even though Mahathir said that this government is corrupt in his typical inscrutable manner and in a poker faced way in front of a group of rather intimidated and respectful journalists, characteristic of vintage Mahathir, consider this. Could that cavalier statement be Mahathir's preemptive strike to scare off Anwar from digging meticulously in corruption and illicit wealth of Mahathir's own cronies and groupies? Think about it .

16. It's a statement like a net casted wide and long scrapping all life forms. It's seductiveness lies in fact that it cannot be proven.

17. To that we can say, that which is asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence too. Why should we believe Mahathir?

18. The illicit wealth which Mahathir referred to, were committed by UMNO people and with them, possibly by MCA and MIC brethren,following the footsteps of their big Taiko UMNO .\

19. That committed by the BN degenerates, cannot also be imputed to be carried out by the PH people . We have to learn to apportion blame in this issue.

20. That aside, Mahathir's blankety statement can be dismissed in the same spirit as told by Christopher Hitchens, in his 'letter to a young contrarian' thus:-

21. ' beware of the unreasonable, though seductive. Mahathir's blanket statement implicating implicating everyone, is unreasonable. If you want to blame someone, blame the UMNO, MCA and the MIC joes. Not the PH people yet. The statement is seductive because people like to bitch about the illicit wealth of politicians.

22. Reject the seemingly transcendental statement even if uttered by an elderly statesman like Mahathir. He's fast becoming an elderly anarchist. It's not a statement etched in stone or having biblical truth .

23. What Mahathir is doing is to subtly destroy and annihilate your inquisitive selves. Have some dignity, continue to dispute and question what anyone say. Don't be afraid of being accused as being argumentative or selfish.

Umnos recalcitrance and the beast within. Part 2

1. As usual umno is true to form. It's cocksure and full of itself. It's behaving primus inter pares-first among equals.

2. Accordingly,it thinks what it believes is all that matters. Others must follow suit.

3. So when it believes that Ali babavum Najib is innocent and the victim of politically motivated prosecution and persecution, others in the unity government must conform.

4. That's how umno defines what means as being united in the unity government means. At least that's how herr oberleutenant Lokman Adam defines what unity means.

5. Obviously, the monumental loss in the last election has not taught umno any humility. It remains it's cocky self.

6. The reality is, nobody gives two hoots to what umno says anymore. That's why it won only 20 seats. To disagree with umno now is the norm .

7. Let's not kid ourselves. As BN, they may have 30 seats. But the others are not ideologically loyal to umno. They are loyal only to their interests .

8. With that kichi mayung number umno wants to behave like a big bully it is. First they said let's wait for the Agong and the pardons board to discuss Najibs case. Then they want to force the pardons board to review Najibs case.

9. Why is umno so anxious to see Najib pardoned and freed? Is he going to save Malaysia? Remember, the bloody man was responsible for src and the mother of all theft-1MDB. He must take responsibility for that .

10. Is getting a pardon, a hak istimewa melayu? Anwar Ibrahim had to spend 12 years in jail before being pardoned. Najib has barely clocked 1 year, already umno is flexing it's dystrophic muscles. Wait your turn and don't jump que

11. Sycophantic vblogs, portals and obviously moronic Najibs cyber-troopers have resorted to reading tea leaves and chicken entrails. Every small statements by it's leaders are taken as something that would lead to Najib being freed by a certain date .

12. Some have gone to the streets, interviewing housewives whether it is appropriate for Najib to be pardoned and release. Pardoning and released are not things amenable to referendums la .

13. But why is it that many misguided souls continue to think that Najib deserves to be freed? Even though he is convicted?

14. Is it because the bloke is a Malay? That would mean your Malay Muslim ethnicity entitles you to commit transgressions like embezzlement?

15. Or is it because he is former PM and has done a lot of good things? Well, in politics, one bad deed wipes out all your good deeds. Najib knows this

16. Perhaps they are thinking more as malays and less as Muslims. For, as Muslims they should be aware of the meanings behind Al maidah 78-79.

17. Applied to today's context,these ayats could possibly mean that God curses or laknati the community because they refuse, disobey, object and reject to do what is righteous and right , but instead embrace what is unrighteous and wrong.

18. When they see their friends and leaders do wrongs, they refuse to censure and condemn them but instead turn them into folklorish heroes. When they see Najib committing massive corruption,they find all ways to absolve and excuse him, turning him instead into a folklore hero like the infamous alibabavum Najib.

19. These are the fundamental things refused and objected by the Malay community that will do them in and destroy the community. When they refuse to do what is right but instead elevate wrongs as virtuous. God laknati and curses them. As Muslims, do we want God to curse us eternally! De eternally? Only hadi's son in law wants to be cursed and dilaknati.

20. I am sorry to say asking the makcik, ah so and achi on grocery shopping , whether it's appropriate to jail diarrhea afflicted Najib, insults our intelligence. It's part of the social media induced dumbing down us .

21. Then we don't require experts in their respective fields who are better informed to deal with the issue. Appoint the makciks, ah sos and achis as judges and one of them replaces yaa tengku maimun as CJ.

22. Najibs followers are jubilant that the authorities are bringing back some of the thirudargalum back to Malaysia. They believe somehow, their testimonies will ameliorate or even absolve their beloved Ali babavum.

23. By all means, bring back Tim 'the fornicator' leissner, Roger 'rabbit' Ng or anyone. They will only confirm that Najib is the kapla of the high council of thieves.

24. Umno is stubbornly insisting that Najib be pardoned and freed. Why the urgency? It's not as though that only Najib can miraculously saved the nation, where pm Anwar couldn't is it?

Who cares if Najib misses his cat Kiki or his caramel machiato or even his conjugal duties. These are mere entreatments to endear him and paint him as human. He wasn't so when he was in power .

25. Najib should only be pardoned after serving time for his conviction. Otherwise, it will make a mockery of the law. Anwar himself served 12 years prison time before getting pardoned. He also missed many things.

26. In mounting activities to get Najib pardoned, umno has only shown it's true character. It is willing to break the law. It wants to make corruption a way of life. It protects only the elite .

27. By stubbornly demanding that Najib be pardoned, umno has behaved recklessly and irresponsibly. It doesn't care about it's integrity and to it's duty of representing the malays .

28. First, it has destroyed the trust, goodwill, it's credibility and it's reliability as a party representing the good and God fearing malays.

29. It can no longer be recognized and acknowledged as the party representing malays . It does this by endorsing corruption as a way of life, it's addeen, willfully breaking the law and supporting those who do mungkar .

30. Also by doing all these intransigence and kemungkaran, it has exposed it's weaknesses and can no longer defend itself .

31. How to defend itself? It has openly endorsed evil deeds, willfully disregard the law and protects only the elites like Najib. It's a party of the Malay bourgeoisie, by the Malay bourgeoisie and for the Malay bourgeoisie.

32. In scrambling to get Najib pardoned, umno is behaving like a drowning man clutching at anything afloat, trying to save Najib and itself .

33. It drags and wants to implicate every Tom, Dick , Harry and Jane alongside Najib. Dr Mahathir, zeti and her husband, tim the 'fornicator' leissner and Roger 'rabbit'Ng and others

34. Doubtless to say, these people will get legal comeuppance. When they do, still it will not exonerate nor absolve red lips Najib. Najib is the Klaus Barbie of the financial world. He has Auschwitzed sane minded Malaysians.

35. I hope the Anwar government will remain steadfast and unyielding over corruption in any form by anybody. Umno stand in defiance of this underlying objective. It is umno that must be censored, not amanah or dap which stand in solidarity with the unity government

36. Umnos recalcitrance has unleased the beast within . The enemy, my dear sir, is at the gates .

37. I don't envy the thankless duties of the present government of Pak sheikh. It's true as Milton Friedman says, much of the work of the present government, is devoted to the herculean task of cleaning the shit left by previous governments.

The pardon of a convict, umnos recalcitrance and Amanahs apology. Part 1

 

1. Adam Smith was a famous Scottish economist. He wrote a famous book called the wealth of nations. It established the principle that rational self-interest leads to economic wellbeing in a free Enterprise economy.

2. As an economist, I would love to elaborate on the ideas of Smith. But I want to focus on a less quoted statement by Smith.


3. The statement reads, mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. The statement is so prescient, pertinent and relevant. Plus, it has currency in the present maddening climate.

4. Mercy to guilty Najib is cruelty to millions of innocent and God-fearing Malaysians. That statement should shock many people and knock some senses into people who have sworn by some things.

5. 

# the Agong has sworn to look after the people, not lookout for Najib alone
# the judges have sworn to uphold justice
# police have sworn to uphold the law
#politicians have sworn to uphold the constitution.
#the people know to distinguish right and wrong.

6. The government is assiduously cultivating an image of uncompromising intolerance towards any forms of corruption. Consequently, any party allied to the unity government must concur with its policy of anti corruption.

7. So when umno stubbornly and continuously agitate for the release of convict Najib, it stands in defiance to the underlying policy of the unity government.

8. It is the recalcitrant and mutinous attitude of umno that must be faulted, not the pronouncements of Khalid Samad and Amanah .

9. Khalid Samad need not be apologetic about his statement and if it does, it has turned it's back on the people. If it does, it means it has capitulated to the black mailings of umno.

10. Umno has shown its black hand in this issue. It will bend the law until the law is in its favor and it supports corruption. A component party that acquiesces in umnos underhand tactic, shows also it will manipulate the law and willing to accommodate corruption.

11. Umno may argue that seeking pardon and clemency for a convict is its own policy, but threatening a component party to sever ties with it because the other party beseeches the Agong to reject pardon and clemency is, black mailing others .

12. By the same reasoning, since the official policy of the government is zero tolerance of corruption, will umno threaten to sever ties with the unity government? Go ahead!

13. Umno will always be its petulant and recalcitrant self, having a high opinion of itself. May I remind readers, that umno is a passenger and not the driver of this unity government? It's just a melukut di tepi gantang. Sedarlah diri sedikit samdol!

14. And how is it, that is its interference with the Agongs wisdom in deciding whether to pardon Najib , when OPPOSING that request ,but asking for clemency and pardon is not?

15. Or, what umno asks is ok, but what others ask, is not ok.

16. When an umno leader says that this is a case where a friend stabs a friend in the back, he needs to be reminded of what Islam says about the principles of friendship.

17. First of all, the business of backstabbing and treachery is second nature to umno. It therefore thinks others are doing the same when not agreeing with them.

18. Islam lays down clear principles about helping and working hand in hand with a friend. And that is, you help a friend in the commission of good and raises taqwa or fear of God. You do not help or work hand in hand in the commission of evil. Fear God as God's punishment is most severe.

19. Umno is implicitly inviting other component parties to support an evil, to wit pardon and release convict Najib. Both choices are no option. It's an invitation all component parties must decline .

20. What can we make of Amanahs tucking it's tail in between it's leg like a mongrel?

21. It was just a show. Obviously there must be a lot of rank pulling in amanah. In the end, Amanahs deputy president apologized to umno. It was an exercise in damage control. It was to prevent a tiff from boiling over into open hostility and animosity. It was necessary to preserve the unity in the unity government

22 . Curiously, it was Amanahs deputy president, Salehudin Ayub,who issued the apology and not the man who was alleged to be the loose canon, Khalid Samad. Will umno accept that?

23. The man who said that Khalid was a loose canon was the primus inter pares, shahrir Samad, who is an umno veteran and half brother to Khalid. It was our own Cain and Abel.

24. If shahrirs statement came after the apology was issued, it shows that umno not only wants meat but also blood

25. The true character must come out in the end. The scum rises to the surface. Umno is a recalcitrant and bolshie child that feels it's entitled to special treatment. It can't escape a sense of entitlement.

26. But the apology is also injurious to Amanah. It will be perceived as an unprincipled and spineless party . It has managed to rahmah-nise or cheapen itself. Let's see how AMANAH saves itself .

The ministry of labour trafficking?

1. A number of aides to minister Sivakumar have been interrogated by sprm .

2. These series of interrogation is in relation to these officers allegedly acting as middlemen collecting fees from agencies bringing in foreign workers, notably Bangladeshi workers.

3. There is a strong presumption of guilt on the part of these officers, as minister Siva saw it fit to suspend them.

4. There are no court charges against them. Yet the minister saw it fit to suspend them. that could only suggests that the minister thinks they are guilty as alleged .

5. While on the subject of immigrant workers, a few months ago, the PM publicly talked about this issue .

6. He was lamenting that it was unconscionable that an immigrant is fleeced up to 20k to work in malaysia. his emphaty towards the immigrant is very laudable.

7. For that empathy, I am inclined to rhyme a song chanted by Oxford students thus:-

8. Row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Belts off, pants down
Isn't life a scream!

9. The PMs empathy which was vociferously and volubly said was indeed laudable. But as Lenin asked a long time ago, what is to done?

10. If the PM is serious about eradicating corruption as regards the immigrant workers, why doesn't he outlaw the usage of agencies and middlemen by the immigration department?

11. Cut off the main source of corruption. Then redeploy immigration staff to process immigrant workers. Or are they too busy collecting luxury cars?

12. If the immigration department still insists on using 3rd parties to process it workers, select 2 or 3 on open tender basis. Evaluate what are some of the benefits that can be gotten by the immigration department from them, legally .

13. Now back to the Siva saga. I can't reconcile one thing. No court charges are brought against the 3 officers of the HRM, yet the minister saw it fit to suspend them.

14. If the officers are suspended on account of being investigated by sprm, this begs one question.

15. Minister Siva himself was questioned by the sprm on a few occasions. On the same reasoning, he ought to also go on leave.

16. A few DAP luminaries have defended Sivakumar. That is understandable. I, however choose to suspend judgement until the sprm has completed it's investigations.

17. I take a very different view from them, unfortunately. I think minister Siva SHOULD go on leave, for the following reasons.

18. He should go on leave not because that's an admission he's guilty but:-
A. Show that Dap people are made of sterner moral stuff
B.use his leave as a challenge to dumbass Zahid, who doesn't know how to respond.

19. Going on leave poses a challenge to Zahid who ought to respond appropriately.

20. If Zahid is aware of toynbee's challenge and response hypothesis, he has stronger reasons to go on leave . If Siva goes on leave on account of only being investigated by sprm, Zahid who has court charges should also take leave ..

21. Or is Zahid hiding behind the protective clause of hak istimewa melayu dan BUMIPUTRA or hiding behind the overused phrase of innocent until found guilty?

22. And so he clings on stubbornly to his post disregarding any moral compunctions/

23. We would have expected that a person who has massive doubts cast upon his integrity would do the honourable thing and go on leave. But then, Zahid, where got honour?

24. So, go on leave minister Siva not because you are guilty but to show dap people are made of sterner stuff and are principled . Also to serve as a mock and rapier sharp sarcasm to the thick skulled Javanese neanderthal and others in the court cluster .

25. I hear what is talked about by the pasir gudang mp. He has vociferously and intensely suggested that Siva go on leave. He cited collective responsibility as a chief reason and blah blah.

26. His reasonings are indeed persuasive, but I don't see the same intensity and vociferous -ness directed at Zahid. Or if has spoken about it initially, the heat has dissipated from the chicken shit!

Clemency and pardon for a convict- in- chief.

1. An umno leader from batu pahat, prayed in front of the holy kaabah. He prayed for the release of ds Najib.

2. He can pray for whatever he wants. But don't be angry if there are people who pray and entreat God to punish the thieving felon . Comprende?

3. That's typical umnoist behavior. When they are in trouble, they think God will only help them.

4. That's the trouble with umno people. They think God is an umno member just as the republicans think God is a republican.

5. Hence, they presume that their doas and supplications will be granted by God.

6. Most fair God does not distinguish between the dia of a plebian and an a patrician . The doa of a fuad zarkashi is not given more weight over the doa of a wak sontoloyo or wak jarwo.

7. Fuad may doa for the release of the convict while wak sontoloyo is praying the convict pays for his sins.

8. Umno doesn't have complete faith in doa , that's why it asks it's members to sign a petition asking clemency from the king.

9. But there's a glitch. The letter or warkah asking for clemency has not been sent yet by Najibs lawyer, prison lawyer or a lawyer representing Najibs family.

10. That's a bloody faux pas, gaucherie or peccadillo on the part of umno. Because of the indiscretion, umno enters the prn in the 6 states, as the weak link.

11. The faux pas is a poor reflection of umno.
It does not respect the law
# it will bend the law until it suits them
# it will use political pressure to subvert the law
# opens up umno to all form of criticisms imaginable.

12. So, it's not a good strategy for PH to sacrifice seats in all the 6 states. In fact, PH needs to limit umno . But as usual, umno will act as if the tea spoon is bigger than the dinner spoon .

13. Meanwhile , convict Najib is behaving like a privileged prisoner. Special rights of BUMIPUTRAs perhaps? He goes to court not handcuffed and escorted by a fleet of cars and a phalanx of state paid escorts.
He is seen carrying a hand phone
He wears zegna or Gucci suits instead of prison garb .

14. Hey,sob sob other daddies are also spending raya with fellow inmates.

15. It is a demonic and fiendish evil move by umno to circumvent the law .

16. So I must say sorry beforehand as I shan't leave this subject of clemency and pardon to the Agong alone. The issue is of paramount importance and it's significance wide ranging, that I shall be remiss in my duty as a loyal subject if I do not give my opinion on it.

17. Whether my opinion is listened to by HM is immaterial. I am one of the many conscientious objectors who wants Najib to pay for his crime .

18. Clemency and pardon ought not to be given cavalierly. The issue must be studies meticulously,all round. It's not like playing polo at padang polo or plucking pauh in permatang pauh or eating temosa raja.

19. Let me give you the irrational reasons first. Why Najib alone? Why not pardon too the rapists, murderers and the incestuous convicts?

20. Najib raped and murdered this country by his corruption. He is the same class as the other degenerates .

21. Will the pardon if given, also cover possible future convictions? There is a strong possibility that Najib may also be convicted for 1MDB offences. Let's not kid ourselves. The tributaries are polluted, it's impossible for the main river to be pristine.

22. The other supporting actors in the 1MDB scandal have all been convicted, it's impossible to believe Najib will be exonerated. Hence to give the felon-in-chief a pardon, is like giving him a carte blanche to murder .

23. We must not allow umno, Zahid and Najib to make a mockery over the law. If we believe that no one is above the law, it must also mean to refrain from doing anything that prejudices the law .

24. Asking for a royal pardon is therefore inimical to the concept that no one is above the law. On the other hand, it sends the message of ' break the law, ask for pardon later '.

25. Asking for a royal pardon is not just asking for a relief of one person. Imagine the damage and hurt it does to the country, it's reputation, her good name, the trust to it, national amour propre and the country's value system.

26. The country will be seen as having no honor, it has no dignity, no respect for universally accepted values system. It is the refuge and den for crooks .

27. Is Najib the felon in chief bigger than Malaysia, or is Malaysia worth fighting for. Shall we abandon this country for a crook?

28. Consider also the damage done to the King, PM and the judiciary. All these people and institution will not be unscarred.

29. The king will no longer be seen as a fountainhead of justice. He no longer protects the weak and the powerless. He will be seen as protector of the privileged and the rich. He is seen as a compromiser , siding with the secondhanders ie those who compromised for convenience. All these caused by red lips Najib.

30. We are looking at the king to protect the good name and reputation of the country. Malaysia is a law abiding country and not a haven for privileged crooks

31 . People are looking at the king to affirm what is right and not to bend the law for the pleasure of one person.

32. The PM's reputation will also take a bad beating. It's good to know he's in the pardons board. He is expected to do what is right .

33. And the right thing to do is to uphold the sanctity of the law. If he were to support clemency, it could only mean he has sacrificed the law for political gains. Or it could mean, umno has blackmail him into capitulation.

34. I hope, he has not forgotten the fact that he himself had to spend a long time in prison before getting pardoned.

35. Ignore the opinions of the council of kangkung professors. They are a fraternity of sexual perverts wanting recognition for something. Najib is a bane for the unity government. It's wrong to say that Najib is popular among the malays - perhaps popular only among the sex starved ignorant makciks, ah sos and achis . There are enough God fearing malays who will support the unity government.

36. The judiciary too will be scandalised. After conscientiously rebuilding it's image after being butchered by Mahathir in the judicial crisis in 1988 I think, the judiciary will be seen as being buyable.

37. It has sold the scales of justice for political expediency

38. The judiciary will lose its credibility and along with it, the trust of the people in the judiciary. That will happen if it bends over to rescue one crook. When it bends over, it will get a good shagging.

39. Seems to me, the basis for clemency and pardon is based on 2 faulty premises. One is the one dissenting judgement over 4 concurring judgements. Is 1 bigger than 4? Is that BUMIPUTRA math? Second, is the conspiratorial findings of sprm when it acted ultra vires, when investigation Mr justice nazlan.

40. Judge Rahman sebli must have rue the day he made the dissenting judgement. To eventually know that his judgement is going to be mischievously used to get a pardon for a bloody crook.

41. I think, at the high and apex courts, a dissenting judgement is just a difference in opinions. We should not read it as more than it deserves.

42. In my opinion, the findings of sprm are essentially wrong. It was supposed to investigate corruption on the part of justice nazlan. Where is it?

43. In particular, the case of the rm 1 million . Instead it made findings on the judge code of ethics which it is not authorized to and is no authority on. It has therefore acted ultra vires.

44. So, minister Azalina aids and abets an ultra vires conduct, when writing a letter to Najibs lawyers.

45. That would give the impression than an umno minister is conspiring with sprm to get Najib pardoned. The PM and the judiciary must stand firm against this unholy alliance .

46. The people of Malaysia must be mad to condone and countenance the pardoning of a crook . As to why they are afflicted by this mad cow disease , I can only conjecture.

47. Many years ago, I read a book edited by the famous Indonesian literati, hb jassin it's a book called langit Kian mendung .

48. It contained the short story langit kian mendung by a fictitious writer, kipandjikusmin.

49. The short story caused a religious furore much like kassim Ahmad's sidang ruh

50. A group of angels petitioned God to 'turba' or turun bawah to earth, particularly a place called Malaysia.

51. The wanted to research because of late, few Malaysians qualify for heaven. So they rode the celestial buraq down to earth .

52. Suddenly, kaboom! they crashed against an American satellite but were catapulted to Malaysia.

53. There, they observed people have gone mad and drunk because of ridiculous fatwas from mullahs from a religious party and the web of deceit spun by Najib and his minions.

54. So, dear readers, I can't in all conscience leave the issue to the Agong alone. He needs all the opinions he can get, including from a lowly person such as I.

55. There you are, I have given my opinion. A pardon should not be given to Ali babavum Najib.

56. Whether you agree or not with my opinion, is no skin off my nose.

57. As to my opinion, I would like to paraphrase Christopher Hitchens. My own opinion is enough for me .And I reserve the right to have it defended against any consensus, any majority, anytime, anywhere,any place.

58. And if anyone doesn't like it, pick a ticket, que up and kiss my ass.

M's reactionary and revisionist politics.

1. In this country, we don't mindlessly and thoughtlessly jail a 98 year old man. So, Dr Mahathir can ventilate all sorts of diatribes against Anwar. I am afraid, despite the urgings of some people, Dr Mahathir will not be charged under sedition laws.

2. Dr Jekyll Mahathir was to unveil a Malay proclamation, not unlike the previous Malay dignity proclamation. It was scuttled by pm Anwar, as it should be .

3. The preservation of a harmonious and multiracial society is paramount. Any that's to it, even from a pesky old man, must be extinguished. PM Anwar did the right thing.

4. Mahathirs constant bitching of Anwars government is personal in nature. The truth comes out in the end. Mahathir seems to nitpicking on everything. It seems that what is not thought of by Mahathir isn't good for Malaysia.

5. When he resigned after 22 months, it was done only to derail Anwar from being PM. That shows Mahathir is vengeful and thinks highly of himself alone. That without him as pm, Malaysia will fail .

6. Well, Mahathir is not the measuring stick by which to measure Malaysia's success. Indeed, Mahathir showed us what not to do.

7. Among other things, we must not be soft bellied when dealing with corruption, we must not play God and choose winners in a free market, we must not create unnatural monopolies and oligopolies, insist on creating a deregiste economy where big government is the preferred choice and say that's good economics and so on.

8. What you had were Mahathirism and Mahathirnomics-
Social and economic policies widely regarded, wrongly, as panacea for most of our social ills.

9. They were not. To say that Mahathirism and Mahathirnomics did a disservice to Malaysians especially the malays is an understatement. For 22 years, the twin evils deluded Malaysians in general, and the malays in particular into believing that the thoughts of Dr Jekyll Mahathir were a blessing for them. They were in fact more of a curse for them. For 22 months, Malaysians were bullied and the sullied ideas of mahathir were foisted on them.

10. It is indeed a case of fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me. We should all be ashamed into believing that ailments requiring aspirin, were prescribed with off the shelf Panadol.

11. Even worse, Mahathir this time around, did not even want to prescribe Panadol but to apply arsenic on Malaysians especially the malays

12. Indeed, to quickly cover up and prevent people from scrutinizing the deficiencies of Mahathirism and Mahathirnomics, the crafty doctor, was planning to hold a public gathering which would listen to a 12 point Malay declaration, authored by the ghoulish doctor himself .


13. The planned gathering was stopped by the government authorities. And the hotel near the PETRONAS twin towers which was to provide the venue for the gathering, cancelled the booking by the Malay rights group.

14. It's not a question of' is the government scared of the gathering, but because the intention of the gathering being malicious. Hence, the gathering was outlawed .

15. The intention was not to enlighten the public and the listeners, elevate intelligence or expand reason . No, it's purpose was to heighten Malay paranoia and xenophobia and simply, hatred towards non malays.

16. PM Anwar did the right thing to outlaw the gathering. Unchecked, it could lead to the escalation of bigotry, jingoism and open hostilities. The preservation of a harmonious society is paramount. The action of the PM, showed he is firm to preserve such a society. He acted responsibly.

17. Ironically, Dr Mahathir would have let the dogs out and outlaw such a gathering.

18 . PM Anwar is doing exactly different from what the Dr prescribed. That causes Mahathir to go maniacal .

19. We see corruption being eliminated slowly but surely, no more playing economic favorites, economic liberalization instead of pervasive deregister economy, free market instead of monopolies and monopsonistic business deals etc .

20. The horrified Mahathir is looking at his legacies being dismantled one by one by Anwar. He can't take it and responded like a cornered (paper)tiger.

21. Mahathir responded in typical mahithirisqe way. He may be taking a leaf from the playbook of a Mussolini or Hitler or a Kim IL sung.

22. Mahathir said a lot of piffle and poppycock in his many PCs. He would have said the same things had the gathering taken place.

23. Only to show his personal animosity towards Anwar. So he pours out arsenic over everything Anwar does . Mahathir is behaving like if something is not thought of by him, it's no good for Malaysia.

24. The world, dear sirs, revolves not because of M, but despite of M. Dr M comes across as a depraved, demented old man unhappy about him being treated as insignificant. Certainly, he fits the description of non compos mentis.

25. Among the things he said via his many press meets, were
Anwars government is not Malay centric
Anwar is a dictator
Anwar is too liberal about religion and by implication, Islam is under siege
Anwar will be tolerant towards lbgts
Anwar government talks more than deliver
That mps have rights to oust Anwar .

26. The linchpin of M's criticism is that anwars government is not Malay enough. This accusation falls flat upon closer scrutiny.

27. It's obvious that racial Superiority and Malay triumphalism is on top of his mind. He's so obsessed with his master race thinking, that he forgets the government is already Malay and BUMIPUTRA centric .

28. M's not being Malay centric enough, ignores the fact that almost the entire government institution is already BUMIPUTRAcised. The cabinet for instance is composed overwhelmingly of BUMIPUTRAs.

29. The Dap has only 4 ministers in the cabinet. It's incredulous to believe that 4 non Malay voices can overwhelm the voices of the bumis.

30. So what really is the main intention of the Malay Declaration? If the intention is to provide inputs to the Anwar government, that can be achieved by less militant way.

31. If such a declaration is in name only and will never mean the forceful taking away of non Malay interests, then why is there a need for a declaration in the first place?

32. Hence Malay rights and interests are vigorously implemented with or without a declaration.

33. In my opinion, the intention of the gathering and declaration is to accentuate Malay paranoia and siege mentality driving them into a maniacal frenzy.

34. That could lead to catastrophic consequences. The PM is therefore right to stop M's manipulation.

35. Also, I find such a declaration to be superfluous. If Malay rights and interests are already protected by various clauses in the constitution, looked after by the King, guaranteed by the numerical superiority of the malays, implemented by overzealous bigots, why the need for a declaration by a 98 year old man?

36. I am weary of the use of Malay fears and paranoia. Or for that matter of special rights clauses. Like Samuel Johnson said, patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels.

37. Similarly, the false use of Malay paranoia and fears, is the last refuge of scoundrels. It is nothing but reasons to ignite Malay suspicions and distrust.

38. And I find the various special Malay rights clauses in our constitution as being offensive,ie their false uses

39. Because just as patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels, Malayism is also the last refuge of scoundrels, of bellicose, belligerent and pugnacious people.

40. False usage of the various special rights clauses hides a litany of repulsive self entitlements. Under them, the Malay is entitled to be lazy and indolent, to be mediocre, to steal, to be corrupt, to ravage the law, entitled to be pitied on, entitled to be pardoned, entitled to have an RCI where none is justified and so on

41. So the declaration is just melodramatic and prima donnish only .

42. I want to address 2 other issues raised by M. That Anwar is a dictator and mps have the right to our Anwar. Both are patently wrong.

43. The right of mps..is a sophistical, spurious and perverse statement by M. The purpose of mps is to be the mouthpiece of the rakyat, to better their lot, to give voice to the voiceless etc.

44. Not to undermine a government or to effect a governmental change by evil machinations. Then, mps are nothing more than power crazed individuals.

45. If the vocation of mps is to scheme and plot the downfall of a ruling government like anwars, then we have a sorry excuse for electing such characters. M is sedetiously the inviting these characters to constantly cause turmoils, upheavals and instability.

46. Instead of busying themselves in making the lives of the community they served better, they would rather engage in the power grab proposed by M.

47. They behaved like a group of mob- thus we have a mobocracy, a mafiacracy, a yakuzacracy with boss M at the helm.

48. Have we forgotten the rule that in a democracy, we change or replace a government through the ballot box. Not by some evil machinations expounded by the devillish doctor.

49. On a very general level, power grabbers are by definition, corrupt people. Lord Acton says that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That must mean that those who seek power for power sake, must be corrupt or will eventually be one .

50. Others have widely condemned M for calling Anwar a dictator. I feel inadequate to follow them in their footsteps. I shall however try to debunk M in other ways.

51. During M's time, we saw autocratic rule, sanitized corruption, what was not thought of by M M was not good enough for Malaysia. He chose winners over free economic competition, that's how the term crony arose, created a plethora of monopolies from cooking oil to onions, established a deregiste economy and so on-the unmistakable characteristics of a dictatorial rule .

52. Anwar is doing exactly the opposite . There is no autocratic leadership, as much consensus is reached, Anwar will not tolerate any variants of corruption, doesn't play God in picking economic favorites, slowly dismantling monopolies and liberalarizing the economy.

53. The actions taken by Anwar have earned the ire of a horrified M. He's looking at his legacy going up in smoke before his very eyes.

54. Mahathir wants to talk about Malay paranoia, fears and siege mentality. He wants to rescue his dying relevancy. Nevermind if the community is destroyed as long as his evil plan succeeds .

55. We all must reject his evil machinations. We must support Anwar where support is due. The way of Mahathirism is over .

56. Mahathir's politics is reactionary and revisionist. He wants to return to the old days of doing things. Well , those halcyon days are gone . Anwars way is the new way.

Political prosecution, persecution and other fairy tales from grand wizard Din.

1. Like many others, I also know of mahiadin's arrest by sprm. He is out on bail. Therefore we are in no doubt, he was arrested .

2. 6 charges are proffered to him. 4 for abusing position inducing corruption. Or influence peddling. 2 for money laundering.

3. The amount involved is rm427.5 million. He is out on bail for rm 2million.

4. When he was arrested, we heard of the ubiquitous, moronic and thoughtless claim that this selective and a political prosecution. Pendakwaan.

5. The moron and the imbecile claimed, this prosecution does not diminish mahiadin's esteem as it did in the sodomy case. Obviously alluding to Anwar s former case .

6. Now I know, BUMIPUTRA rights entitle one to steal and that stealing does not result in injuring self worth and dignity. One who does that must have a Teflon skin

7. So stealing, pilfering, corruption and so on are emblems of respectability and self worth. It's the malay amour propre . Only sodomy is not .

8. What we are hearing now is political defense. Really,Mahiadin must offer legal or technical defense.

9. Political defense actually is an admission that the subject matter of the charges did take place. You try to cover them up by shouting political defense. It's a ploy and a ruse.

10. Because they are just political dust stirrings, you can say anything under the sun. They are diverse as much as they are ridiculous .

11. You can shout fight against tyranny, long live abah, down with Anwar, Anwar is vindictive, justice for tsmy, tsmy is innocent, rise o malays and Islam and so on you can shout all these until you are blue in the face. They won't change the outcome. If abah moo is guilty, he will be convicted and spend sabbatical leave in Kajang Hilton.

12. Ahh, the malays and Islam rise with corruption, do they? The malays must have gone mad!

13. Mahiadin, in particular may ventilate ceaselessly that his prosecution is politically motivated. He may accused all he wants about agencies being used by the government to embark on a McCarthy like corruption blitz. This run counter to the statements he made in the past.

14. Or to save his own neck, he may blame other equally tainted lackeys.

15. He may say that throughout his 75 years, he has never been charged. Well, that's because all previous governments, umno, his own and Ismail sabris were not serious about corruption by the big fishes. It's a case of crooks looking after their kind .

16. Mahiadin says he will have his day in court. So why does he rant about political motives, schemes and intrigues?

17. The truth is, the more he stirs up political dust, the truer are the dastardly acts he committed .

18. Now he's slapped with another charge of receiving a bribe of rm5million. The man on the Clapham omnibus or on the Malaysian commuter bus , would rush in to say ,this is polical vendetta. You may say so because you have imperfect knowledge.

19. Sprm or the procedural team may have access to a more complete information to press such a charge .

20. The looking stupid peja said the charges against mahiadin did not make sense. A thief would have hidden the monies stolen.

21. Mahiadin is a clever thief. He may have hid the monies with friends or because he think he is untouchable, in banks he thought couldn't be investigated. Only peja is a stupid thief .

22. An interesting thing that emerged from the mahiadin's case, is the careless revelation from the moss/lumut man .

23. He said he had possibly incriminating files on certain individuals but to be used when needed. At that material time, he was the home minister.

24. That would open him to 2 possible misdemeanors. One, the concealment of possible judicial material . Two, possible blackmailing . That's why I say, he is a careless idiot.

25. Mahiadin should stop taking refuge behind the political prosecution and persecution allegations. Of course he will stubbornly persist, but to his own peril.

26. The more political shit stirring he does, the more he is admitting that the allegations of abuse of power and corruption did take place .

27. This political persecution issue or political persecution thing is tiresome as it is a rancid outpouring. We all have heard that the ag and sprm boss were appointed by. Mahiadin. Suggesting that they wouldn't sabotage mahiadin. That didn't stop them doing the right thing

28. Are we asked to believe that just because some jokers label an action as being political, then we should stop legal actions? That would be ridiculous wouldn't it?
Then all crooks can see refuge behind political prosecution.

29. Political persecution is the last refuge of bloody crooks just as patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels.

30. Is mahiadin prosecuted because he leads a civil disobedience movement? Certainly he is no martin Luther king or the fakir Gandhi. A faker perhaps.

31. Is he like the Christians being fed to the lions by the Romans? Is he prosecuted because he leads bersatu or on?
If the answers to all these are no, then he can't claim political prosecution and political persecution .

32. Are the charges against mahiadin too loose and open ended able to be lumped under political prosecution? Thus far the charges against him are very specific.

33. Is he denied the minimum legal safeguards?
He can have his day in court
He can have lawyers of his choosing
He can speak about anything under the sun
He can move freely domestically
He is not robbed of habeas corpus.

34. So mahiadin's claim, the the charges against him are politically motivated, is just a load of cow dung.
Before the legal and technical defense, he spins all sorts of nenek kebayan stories. The unthinking Malaysians will listen with jaws dropping.
