1. Janganlah kita mengharapkan perkara2 ajaib akan terbit dari himpunan 26 julai 2025 lalu

2. Oh, tentu himpunan ini akan bercakap mengenai reformasi, korapsi, kos kehidupan yang Kian meningkat, derita rakyat, pengurusan pengkerajaan yang bebal dsb.

3. Itu harapan setengah Dari kita yang beroperasi sebagai aktivis bebas, pengkritik kerusi empuk dll

4. Pertama dan utama, kita mesti sedar bahawa ini himpunan puak reaksioner dan pelampau kanan dan rasis.

5. Perkara2 didalam para 2 hanya di cakapkan setakat menghiburkan dan membohongi kelompok manusia dalam himpunan tersebut.

6. Dalam himpunan mereka yang mudah dikelentong , jumlah mereka ramai sekali .

7. Perkara2 ini hanya mendapat cakapan yang sambil lalu saja. Keseriusan hal2 tersebut ditenggelami oleh jeritan dan pekikan turun Anwar. Itu mesej yang utama nya .

8. Yang lain2 itu, seperti kata sm Salim, hanya penghias zapin .

9. Himpunan tersebut sebetulnya menutupi 2 kegagalan PN .

10 . Pertama, ialah gagal membuat usul undi tak percaya. Kedua ialah memenagi PRU.

11. Mengharapkan Anwar Ibrahim letak jawatan secara sukarela adalah sesuatu yang jauh panggang dari api. IA takkan berlaku.

12 . Jadi pilihan yang ada ialah membuat suatu himpunan besar bikin ribut dan goga dan gegak gempita .

13. Sambil itu menyenaraikan beberapa isiu keresahan rakyat yang dicakapi secara sambil lewa. Objek sebenar ialah menenggelami isiu2 tersebut dengan pekikan dan teriakan turun Anwar. Di iringi tasbih dan takbir dan pembacaan doa qunut nazilah .

14. Adakah pas, penganjur.utama himpunan tersebut menganggap Allah pasti menyebelahi mereka bahkan seorang ahli pas? Astaghafirulah!

15. Saya tidak akan kata baca qunut nazilah boleh tak boleh atau patut tak patut. Seorang Muslim yang lain ,adakah dia boleh menegah Muslim yang lain membaca Kalam Allah?. Siapa kamu? Ustaz sontoloyo?

16. Yang terbaik ialah puak pro Anwar membaca doa lain menyaingi qunut nazilah. Doa lawan doa. Baru kena, samdol.

17. Kita tinggalkan bahasan agama sebentar dan kembali kepada soal pokok.

18. Yakni kegagalan PN membuat usul undi tak percaya dan memenangi PRU. Tutup dengan suatu himpunan Woodstock concert.

19 . Ia mengingatkan kita supaya jangan dekat dengan orang pas. Jika kita tak setuju dengan mereka, mereka mendoakan kecelakaan kepada kita .

20. Sama seperti orang pas, jauhi diri Dari Uber nasionalis dalam bersatu, puak menyalak tepi jalan dll.

21. Seperti yang saya katakan, ini adalah himpunan puak reaksioner, rasis, pelampau kanan, Uber nasionalis dan puak Uber religious.

22. Tujuan utama dan pertama mereka ialah mengebalikan Malaysia kepada cara pentadiran fiudal dan mengekalkan status quo.

23. Janganlah kita mengharapkan perkara2 yang mereka cakapkan seperti yang kita harapkan .

24. Himpunan ini adalah respons ketakutan kepada reformasi yang hendak dibawa oleh Anwar .

25. Adalah penting untuk orange yang berada dikeliling Anwar supaya tetap kekal salam sempadan reformasi.

26. Puak2 yang menganjurkan himpunan suka jika Anwar berdolak dalih dan lengahkan agenda reformasi. Bolehlah mereka anggap Anwar sebilah kapak masuk hutan. Pokok2 akan kata mamat ni geng kita sebab Hulu nya dari kayu jua.

27. Jadi apa yang hendak ditakutkan jika himpunan seterusnya dijangka lebih besar? Ianya adalah himpunan puak2 reaksioner!

The gathering of the farcical storm . Contrarian essays no 24

1. A favorite question often asked by Anwar is, when you were in power, what did you do?

2. This is the test of anyone in power. Is the power used for the common good?

3. Very often, when the question is asked, what we get are excuses why xyz cannot be done. Change, it is said needed time. Yes, I've got to answer the call of natural dulu.

4. You don't start, it won't be done. There's always the whisper of the devil- retain the status quo, enjoy power, taste the spoils of war.

5. In the end, you end up with the opposite of what you promised to do.

6. It will exactly be as the great economist Milton Friedman said. You end up with the exact opposite results than the good intentions the sponsors started with.

7. Yes, we are all promised that ' a change is gonna come. But as the other part of the slogan that James carville says, it's more of the same.

8. I would have liked that the question of whether bro Anwar is the change agent that he sets out to do?

9. Not doing so, or giving excuses that reformasi ought to be slow and temperate is a load of crap .

10. Not doing so betrays the faith of people have in you. And as lee kuan yew said in an interview with Charlie Rose, that affects your political longevity.

11. If Anwar is complacent about it or suffers from the edifying effects of being in power, the next GE is for him to lose. He will be a one trick pony . That is something I want to avoid.

12. Unfortunately the PKR people are living in their own Dreamworld, perhaps because of taking in too much ketum.

13. In general, all of them poohed poohed the threats against Anwar. They will rue the day they did so .

14. I have a problem here. The supreme leader is surrounded by bloody fools and yes men .

15. Not only do they shy away from reminding Kim IL Anwar that he has strayed from the reformasi agenda, they infact exacerbate anwars illusion of invincibility by saying he can do no wrong.

16. I see some of these apple polishers putting up picture posters of the great leader everywhere. On these picture posters, Anwar looked uncannily like Lenin. Others say all the threats to Anwar including the gathering on 26th July, do not pose any dangers to Anwar.

17. Sure,carry on believing your own hype fellers. You'll be the first to bite the dust.

18. It's wishful thinking at its best. These people think just thinking of the desired ending, it will be so. Hoi dumbasses, the desired end requires skunk work la.

19. There is such thing as free lunch.

20. The presence of the apple-polishers, bootlickers and sycophants is damaging Anwar. They prevent him from seeing the truth. The are not reality checkers but dream builders.

21. Such as building false narratives about the 26 July gathering.

21(b). Like downplaying and loudly disputing the size of the gathering.

22. Everyone knows that in matters like these, the official government apparatchiks suddenly don't know how to count. The opposition in these matters, exaggerate a lot.

23. Everyone can see it's a fake 18k people. The number is more likely, 150k.

24. Don't lose sleep over it. It's natural for the government to underestimate while the opposition overestimates. Biasa lah .

25. We must see the gathering for what it represents. It's a midterm recall of the support for the mad-dani government. The danger is, the recall may be infectious.

26. Many of us felt nauseous when the PM tried a reverse psychology crap.

26(b). Thanking the gatherers for a peaceful demo and be safe going back. Loya nya .

27. The government and the PM in particular must take heed at the anger and dissatisfaction the gathering represents. Whether explicitly articulated by Hamzah et al or scantily said (like the girls in Brazilian bikini) who the ecclesiastical warlords are secretly salivating at.

28. Now, let me say what's wrong with this gathering. It's just a Woodstock concert laced mostly with screams of turun Anwar, interspaced with selected zikir and shouts of Allahuakbar

29. Have you noticed the fact the gathering was predominantly made of 1 race - malays. It was inescapable the the interests that dominated the gathering would be Malay centric.

30. By necessity the talk at the gathering would be dominated by 2 issues, Uber nationalism and Uber religious. Both issues being crowd pleasing. Indeed these issues actually dominated the gathering.

31. Some of us, mostly idealistic armchair critics, imagined that such a gathering will talk about reforms, abuse of power, the rise of the rentier, rent seekers,the profiteers , crony capitalism, corruption and so on. Unfortunately no! Some everyday matters like inflation , cost of living were lightly touched. That's about all. It must have been a huge disappointment.

32. But it should not surprised many of us too. This was a gathering organized by politicians and the crowd attending were mostly gullible fools ready to go ballistic.

33. We have to face the facts that politicians just want to score political points. They will play the gallery and talk of things that amplify and inflate the shouts of turun Anwar turun.

34. They will never talked about wide ranging reforms that we would like to have been talked about.

35. We must remember that the majority who attended the gathering are reactionaries who are interested to retain and maintain the status quo instead of overthrowing them.

36. I for one,won't expect any earth shattering revelations from the reactionaries. They are just Gucci communists pretending they are looking out for the interest of basically Malays. Their stories were just rhetorics.

37. Would Mahathir, mahiuddin, Hamzah et al speak about reforms to dismantle the economic structures they helped create and perpetuate?

38. The monopolistic businesses, the license - wallahs, the luxury of choosing who gets ahead and who is left behind and the elephant in the room, the NEP in it's new form? No lah!

39. Not until hell freezes over, pigs can fly or water can be squeezed from stone.

40. They won't speak about reforms extensively, fearing doing so will invite more diligent scrutiny which will expose their hypocrisy.

41. In fact,they liked it when Anwar procrastinates and stalls. They believe Anwar is the axe that comes into the forest .

42. I have many more to say about the gathering but will not write about them. That and other articles will not be posted in my blog. 76 other articles will appear in a book hopefully that will be published soon.

Hippie politicians and the Woodstock concert. Contrarian essays no 23.

1. Hajjah nurulizzah has committed the biggest political faux pas. She walked with lawyers in the walk for judicial independence. A few weeks ago .

2. It showed her noviceness as the newly minted PKR deputy president.

3. It was a PR exercise designed to endear herself. To a few besotted lawyers. Even bashful ones .

4. Some of these young lovers err lawyers were pleased the Hajjah took photos with them . Some maybe could not sleep that night .

5. But absentmindedly Hajjah NIA forgot the reason for the walk.

6. The lawyers organized the walk demanding judicial independence. It's anti alleged executive interference in judicial appointments.

7. She forgot the issue has been weaponised by the opposition political parties. By Anwar haters and people on the lunatic fringe.

8. Weaponised to unseat her father, the mamak padukang, Anvar Ebraheem.

9. Don't believe me? Look at how he dresses for Friday prayers. Exactly like a mamak padukang maybe complete with green canvas belt full of IOU papers.

10. Even Dr Mahathir, a bona fide descendant of malabar mamaks looked more Malay in baju melayu.

11. She gave moral support for the walkers which meant she gave moral support to the political parties seeking to unseat her father .

12. The "sin' she committed is greater than the wrong did by the renegade 9 in calling for a RCI on judicial interference. She deserves a more severe reprimand for her intransigence.

13. We can be sure , the hajjahs presence at the walk of the singing canaries will be used as cannon fodder by the political demagogues and firebrands at the concert this 26th of July .

14. That will be the political Woodstock to be attended by under the cannabis influence political hippies from the opposition political parties, self righteous lawyers and people from the lunatic fringe.

15. A pity a young striptease queen, Rose Chan is not there. She would have been the main attraction. People come to see her rather that Hadi or mahiuddin

16. PAS leaders will cover their faces with their hands but will peep through their fingers to look see the sensuous gyrations of Ms Chan.

17. In her heydays, Rose Chan was more popular than Tun Razak around the campuses at UM. She must have eased the puberty passage for many then.

18. She was the subject of many bawdy jokes around UM campuses, that is until the Muslim evangelists controlled the campuses .

19. Others can't, but the evangelists kept pictures of Rose Chan in their rooms to relieve themselves. Haha

20. Here's a troubling thing. The people going to the Woodstock concert themed turun Anwar are going there with an UMNO state of mind.

21. By UMNO state of mind,I mean the underlying belief you can always get everything for free.

22. UMNO has never heard of the phrase popularized by Milton Friedman, there's no such thing as a free lunch .

23. Which generally mean you can't get anything without expending efforts and sacrifices.

24. These things - work and sacrifices are not in UMNOs vocab.

25. Bossku Najib once told me a long time ago, there's nothing UMNO and Malays like better than getting things for free .

26. Like free felcra and risda shares, exclusive licenses to import onions, garlic , dried chillies, cattle, rice , supply of low quality Baja and so on.

27. So these people going to the Woodstock concert this Saturday think just by giving flammable speeches , arms flailing and generally Anwar bashing, Nana non will step down

28. Anvar Ebraheem, who has gone to jail , got whacked by a former IGP will likely stick up his middle finger and will say up yours.

29. Nah, he's not afraid of the conference of the howling wolves this Saturday.

30. But don't stop the gathering of the hippy politicians at the Woodstock concert.

31. Treat the Anwar bashing outpourings as a wake up call to rectify his shortcomings.

32. Anwar and the PKR yahoo boys and girls must realize that pak Sheikh is not the best in this or that

33. Maybe the bestest tongue twister . Birds flying up high can come eat from his hands. Girls fully clothed can stand full Monty in front of him .

34. People at the Woodstock concert will shout themselves coarse screaming turun Anwar, turun turun but won't talk on a number of things.

35. Won't talk because doing so would be suicidal for them.

36. They won't talk about wide ranging economic reforms. If Anwar procrastinates, the opposition won't at all.

37. Like dismantling monopolies, licences, exclusive contracts etc.

38. Imagine breaking up PETRONAS, Tnb, khazanah, EPF, dismantling monopolies in the supply of baja, in import of rice, in withdrawing licenses to import garlic, onions, shallots etc.

39. While they make out as though they are speaking for the interest of the common people, they are actually protecting the rentier class, the rent seekers , the profiteers and the capitalists.

40. Hence, they won't be talking about wide ranging economic reforms.

41. They won't be talking about reforms in education too.

42. Will they dare talk about admissions to universities based on merits, remove the quota system etc? No they won't because their own racial bias curtails them .

43. I say, the Woodstock concert this Saturday is just a big red herring. While it's just Anwar bashing, the real issues remain hidden purposely.

A Shakespearean comedy of errors. Contrarian essays no 22

1. Anwar Ibrahim must be shaking in his LV loafers upon hearing the a congregation of lawyers will issue him a warning about judicial interference or about anything else bad attributable to anwars governance.

2. Such congregations will amount to nothing. Yes the lawyers will give their congregation a respectable name, walk for this or that .

3. A memorandum will probably be given to a doorman. Posted but not read by the actual addressee.

4. In the congregation, lawyers who have not seen each other for sometime will exchange gossips .

5. There will be whispers that judge X is bonking that nubile young lawyer Y. Wow!

6. It's a congregation of the legal bourgeoisie. The Hampstead and the limousine liberals.

7. How I wish , lawyers would group together and form their own political party, made up of entirely lawyers . Parti Pegu Demokratik Malaysia.

8. Then, let's see how many of them make to parliament.

9. There, they can argue until the cows come home about the source that gives rise to suspicions about judicial interference. That blasted 'upon advice by the PM '.

10. Once they get into parliament they can then persuade two thirds of MPs to alter the constitution. Have that blasted provision of 'upon the advice of the PM ' removed .

11. Upon removal of that blasted provision there will be no more allegations of executive interference in not only judicial appointments but also in other instances where such provision exists .

12. But then, deprivation of the luxury of the ability to bitch around the allegations of executive interference would make life boring, wouldn't it?

13. Life for women lawyers would be unbearable especially. Male lawyers can at least bitched about judicial sexual trysts.

14. Aiyya!

15. So whether lawyers walk for this or that or participate in the turun Anwar jamboree, the lawyers gathering will amount to nothing!

16. In fact lawyers' focus on the seriousness of any particular issue can dissipate once you put in a distracting agent.

17. For example, look at the recent lawyers' walk for judicial independence. The presence of the darling of reformati, appears to take the sting away from the solemness of the event.

18. When the axe enters the forest, the trees say of the axe, it's one of us for the handle is made of wood.

19. Some lawyers are so pleased and besotted with nurulizzah that they took pictures with her. Some probably got wet dreams later that night.

20. Lawyers can be politically naive too . The walk was weaponised by some political parties to dethrone Anwar.

21. By inference, if nurulizzah gave moral support to the walk, she's giving moral too to the opposition.

22. As in the walk, if lawyers participate in the turun Anwar thingy, the lawyers will serve as useful idiots.

23. Why don't these lawyers organized their own turun Anwar 24. ' concert'. See if people support them or spit and throw up at them.

25. People will know it's just a gathering of limousine and LV liberals and idealists who pretend to be self righteous.

26. By the way, nurulizzah committed a serious faux pas.

27. She said she's walking with the lawyers as a private citizen . Let's hope the people will retain her as a private citizen anywhere she contests. Apa macam?

28. That means the renegade 9 can also participate in the turun Anwar event as private citizens.

29. See whether the PKR SUA will take appropriate action against nurulizzah or the renegade 9. If she's not sleeping of course.

30. So, lawyers don't act as keeper of our conscience. We know you smile like a Cheshire cat, when we say, not cheese but say fees .

31. Don't be offended ya. Some lawyers are my good friends. 4 of siblings are lawyers as are 2 of my 'chewren". But I must be harsh on them sometimes to provide them a reality check .

32. I once met param cumaraswamy . He served me black coffee. Kasi garang he says. I now drink lots of coffee. No soogar

The midget tattoo says, it's an addendum, it's an addendum, it's a titah. Contrarian essays no 21.

1. If all the UMNO divisions were to press the government to implement the substance of the addendum, it must say no.

2. How can the government be complicit in the furtherance of a crime? How can the court does so?

3. As for UMNO, who cares! It has shown it has total disregard for the law. Unless it profits them .

4. Let umno digs its own grave. We will happily give it the last rites .

5. Mari kita ramai2 talqinkan UMNO!

6. In writing about the judiciary issue, I said I am prepared to accept a judicial Phillips curve.

7. Type B judiciary replaces type A judiciary.

8. The quality of judiciary decreases( it's a matter of subjective perception) but the conviction of high profile cases increases .

9. I can buy that. Dealing with mischiefs is better than being caught in philosophical arguments about judicial independence. Over cups of latte, ok la .

10. But I must quickly hasten to say that's it's a matter of subjective perception that the new judicial team is a type B team .

11. The new team headed by the new CJ, PCA and chief judge of Sabah and Sarawak maybe equally competent as the previous one .

12. The acid test will be how will they handle the high profile cases I mentioned in previous articles.

13. I have a few issues in mind. Will we see a quick refiling on the cases of those given DNAA, which the public see as unjust .

14. Can we see a robust and revolutionary over ruling of the ruling of the pardons board? I will give my reasons later

15. Can we see an inglorious end to the damn addendum issue?

16. Or horror of horrors, do we see the CJ having to recuse himself whenever cases involving UMNO people come up before him?

17. After all, he was an UMNO deputy minister once . Definitely there will be suspicions of biasness.

18. Let's start from the beginning. Start with the pardon by the pardons board. It's not quite constitutional. Here are my reasons.

19. It's legally incorporated yes but not enough constitutional.

20. It doesn't comprised of a number of federal court judges, the executive and a number of the legislature, excluding the idiotic FT minister.

21. It's not a microcosm of the 3 branches of government - the executive, legislature and the judiciary.

22. It's an inferior body and being such is subject to the oversight of the federal court. The FC can overrule or confirm its proceedings. Better to overrule them.

23. That means the pardon of the object causing the cause celebre is not quite valid!

24. But hold on feller, didn't the pardons board created by the constitution itself?

25. Yes, but surely the constitution does not intend to create a body that shoots it in the foot. Right?

26. If the legal stature of the pardons board is arguable, then it follows its proceedings and findings are also arguable.

27. It's careless to give this particular chap a pardon.

27(b). Further, we can't allow a body like the pardons board to usurp the powers of the executive legislature and judiciary. The federal court must stop this trespass.

27(c)..I would also like to ask this question. Pardon my ignorance. Does the authority of the pardons board extend to determining the place of incarceration?.

28. If there's none, the pardons board may be acting ultra vires.

29. The stature of the addendum is even more precarious. The stature of the pardons board it itself disputable, the stature of the addendum more fragile.

30. The addendum is a product of a contestable board. It's a separate, distinct and altogether another adjunct document.

31. It ought not be given the same legal stature as the main pardons board document. It wasn't done contemporaneously furthermore.

32. The stature of the addendum is not settled yet.

33. The najibers and UMNO are asking the government to implement a subject matter in a document not yet settled in law. Tablay itu maciam tamby!

34. The government too faces a serious believability problem

35. I was sure Saifuddin showed the minutes of the pardons board to all and sundry. There was no mention of an addendum.

36. When did he realize, aik ada addendum. If so, why didn't he make another PC? Very careless of him .

37. But what are we to do? Anwar likes to surround himself with idiots and morons. Perhaps to make him appear most intelligent.

38. Yes, the signs are clear to the government and the UMNO president.

39. That UMNO is full of shit- people who will disregard the law, unless it profits them.

40. If UMNO disregards the law, speak for itself, not for all Malaysians .

41. Because of these reasons, the government ought to ignore the addendum.

42. Don't you see the ridiculousness of the proposition? Let's assume the chap is placed under house arrest. Then he is found guilty of the charges of IMDb. Will he then be unceremoniously hauled back to Kajang spa resort?

43. The najibers and UMNO harken to the days when you cut open a lady's tummy to retrieve pieces of jackfruit taken from the sultan's orchard. Puhleez.

It's an addendum, an addendum. It's a titah. Part 1. Contrarian essays no 20.

1. It's a shitty thing . In the hands of UMNO people and the najibers, the 'addendum' has become and irritating instrument.

2. In their hands, it has become that damn ' addendum '.

3. The gangster like UMNO youth chief has lashed out at a DAP MP for urging the government to ignore umnos request to subvert the rule of law.

4. The rule of law and the supremacy of the law says that the same common law is applicable to everyone -i mean everyone. It's also universally accepted that no one is above the law.

5. We cannot say the law is not applicable to Najib or that he is above the law.

6. Disregard of the law, is the value that UMNO wants to impart to us.

7. All reasonable man should not countenance this teaching.

8. I am also not sure too if that lashing out , comes out from a rational mind. 9. It could have come out from disguised racism. The dap MP is Chinese. The Chinese shouldn't dispute what the master race wants .

10. It could be coming from the bullying nature of UMNO.

11. And to strengthen it's demand, UMNO is saying it's a decree, you dolt!

12. So you know what UMNO stands for. It stands for utter and flippant disregard for the rule of law and supremacy of the law.

13. And you think it's honourable in the name of race, religion and King to support UMNO?

14. Then, there is this argument about constitutional monarchy. It's a limited monarchy.

15. We are no longer living in ancient times where most malays were not politically aware and were servile.

16. Then, malays were living under the regime of absolute rule and absolute discretion. Every word of the sultan was everyone's command.

17. It was a time when you cut open a daimsels stomach to retrieve pieces of jackfruit taken from a tree grown in the kings orchard .

18. UMNO now actually doesn't give 2 hoots about titah, but it's weaponised to achieve it's nefarious aim .

19. It's nefarious because it's used to achieve an illegal act .

20. The illegal act being to apply political pressure and herd instincts to free a convicted felon.

21. Surely you don't want to teach you children the value of disregard for the rule of law and supremacy of the law.

22. The principle of constitutional democracy does not allow you to categorize people into loyals and disloyals.

23. The logic is this. If the conduct of the king is constrained by the constitution then more so his decree, commands, verbal issues are constrained by the laws of the land.

24. Labelling others as derhaka, treasonous and so on are only UMNO devices , demonizing others who disagree with them.

25. Loyalty is not the monopoly of UMNO. Don't allow UMNO to categorise others as disloyal more so than the king intended. A just king wouldn't summarily label anyone as disloyal without doing much more. Only UMNO likes to bully and terrorizes others .

26. Disagreeing with the titah addendum is not necessarily being disloyal or treasonous. Loyalty is ones total conduct, behavior and reverence to the King not just verbal admissions.

27. We must be mindful about what the najibers and UMNO are doing. Subvert the law to exonerate convict. By using the titah as an excuse and political pressure to achieve their heinous aim.

28. Now, it's using the king because it's advantageous to do so. UMNO will be the first to turn against king when it is opportune to do so.

29. As said above, this addendum is weaponised to hide it's racism, to divide the people into loyals and treasonous people and use addendum to exonerate a criminal. How can a titah be used to support a crime?

30. In the next part, we will look at the addendum from an unconventional point of view.

The Judicial Hocus pocus. Contrarian essays no 19.

1. You all can see the farce of it all. Rafizi may have initially raised the issue of judicial appointments. He called for a RCI.

2. The issue was hijacked. Embellished, amplified and exaggerated. It was given more prominence than it should.

3. Political parties, NGOs, the lunatic fringe, Anwar haters have escalated the issue calling it a crisis .

4. The latest, I see is the formation of a secretariat. Headed unofficially by centenarian Dr M .

5. But Dr M must come to equity with clean hands.

6. When doc M sacked tun salleh abas and other justices, that event was more of a crisis then the present one.

7. Then , he was more interested to have as CJ a malleable person who would agree to his gentler requests .

8. If Dr m wanted a pliant judiciary, what makes anwars conduct, if he advises the JAC any different?

9. Which makes the hastily creation of a secretariat like a pot calling the kettle black.

10. The present case in which we see, slowness in naming a CJ and other federal court justices, hardly constitutes a crisis.

11. Do we see the sky falling down , people dropping off in the streets and rampaging?

12. Hello, cost of living going up, prices of food skyrocketing, cost of utilities, petrol, lack of FDI, growing national debt are crises .

13. No secretariat for these nor were there for a corruption free judiciary, secretariat for stiffer penalties for corruption, no house arrest and so on .

14. The weaponisation of this issue, ie using it as an excuse demanding that Anwar steps down is politicising it.

15. The amplification, embellishing and exaggeration of the issue are done by the UMNO portals and other portals specializing in the spreading of lies and misinformation.

16. By the way isnt ,the thought of demanding that Anwar steps down , just by gratuitously asking him to do so, is an UMNO way of thinking?

17. Isn't asking things for free, free loading and believing UMNO people are entitled to get what they demand, is UMNO way of thinking?

18. So when groups, NGOs, political parties and now a secretariat ask Anwar to turun, just by verbally asking , they are actually following UMNO footsteps?

19. You think you can get something automatically and entitled to, without exerting efforts and sacrifices?

20. Have you all heard of the saying, popularized by the great economist Milton Friedman, there's no such thing as a free lunch?

21. In general, you don't get something without efforts and sacrifices.

22. In this case, not by talking cock and screaming demands.

23. Do something substantive like organizing nation wide protests, moving a motion of no confidence or winning an election.

24. You think by just talking, scratching balls and marching hand in hand you get, hey presto, the mamak padukang steps down ?

25. In an earlier article, I said I am prepared to accept a judicial Phillips curve.

26. That is, Anwar by any conduct such as having a Tete a Tete with the JAC, manages to install a CJ and other justices, the judiciary carries out a number of 'suchs'.

27. But I doubt the new judiciary will carry them out as Anwar appears intent at preserving the bourgeois status quo .

28. Apparently hes not the reformasist, we think he is. He's a LV liberal after all.

29. The only way to knock some senses in him is for you to exercise your options at the next GE. Ada butot?

30. Finally and this my opinion only, the judicial institution is not worth over protecting and over championed of.

31. It has enough highly intelligent people to take care of themselves through their artful arguments.

32. The judiciary is not a sacred cow institution we think it is. There's data showing that the incidence and prevalence of corruption there is highest, higher than even the legislature

33. It's better to organize lawyers walk for a corruption free judiciary or walk for merits based judicial appointments. The secretariat does the same too.

34. Also I think many of these organisations now talking about judicial independence are a big bloody farce and are duplicitous.

35. Just suppose that Anwar, suffering from temporary non compos mentis, appoints a non Malay CJ.

36. You can be sure that many of these groups talking sanctimoniously about judicial shit, will make a big ruckus.

37. Doctor m will say , see the Anwar government is dictated by the DAP.

What is to done? Let me story you ( biar saya cerita pada you) Contrarian essays no 18.

1. I won't talk about defending the lofty ideals of independence of the judiciary and defending the ideal of judicial appointments. Others more qualified than I, can talk about that .

2. I refuse to weaponise the present judicial uproar to hit at the mamak padukang who on every Friday will be in a well dhobi prayers attire.

3. There are ample grounds with which to wallop Anvar Ebraheem. Breaking the faith of people believing him as a change agent, the many promises not kept, the betrayal of reformasi and so on .

4. The judiciary as an institution isn't worth over defending and protected. It's not the sacred cow as we think it is .

5. Corruption is rampant and the cancer is also ravaging it.

6. I hear the lawyers through their brown shirted organization will do a walk for the judiciary.

7. I'd rather participate in a walk for a corruption free judiciary, or walk for the affirmation of the rule of law and supremacy of the law, or lawyers against house arrest and the like.

8. But as usual, these lawyers who think highly of themselves, will organize a walk in support of some hazy cause and expect the people to support them! Up yours!

9. It will be a circus. After the walk, some will adjourn to the Selangor club and other watering holes , drink copious amounts of beer and engage in table thumping debates.

10. Others will adjourn to some cafes, sipped latte and also engage in animated debates. A lawyers job is done isn't it?

11. That's the conduct of the cafe latte socialists, the Hampstead liberals, the LV and Limousine liberals, the smoked salmon and gauge caviar leftists, the Gucci communists and the Birkin bitches.

12. We don't like the changing of the guards. Since it does not follow a set of rules which WE think it ought to follow it must be wrong. Itu maciam?

13. Type B justice and grade C egg standard judges replace type A justice and grade A egg standard judges, we don't like it. Can that transition be called a judicial crisis?

14. If we don't like it, move a motion of no confidence against Anwar Ibrahim or punish him accordingly in the 16th GE.

15. Its a lot safer for me to stick to the politics of the issue.

16. I have told that PKR can do 2 things. Sack the renegade 9 or does nothing but eat humble pie .

17. What the renegade 9 did amounted to gross insubordination and actually is a revolt.

18. The only option opened to PKR,if it has honour, self pride and amour propre, is to sack the renegade 9 .

19. As it turns out, PKR chose to swallow it's pride and does nothing except strenuously and unconvincingly say, it accepts the conduct of the renegade 9 with an open heart

20. How artificial and farcical this response is. If that conduct was carried out by a stray member, that person would unhesitatingly be kicked out of PKR. This was done by Rafizi and gang, all MPs. So it must be treated gingerly .

21. PKRs reaction confirms me that it is a pondan party. No self respect, no honour and no amour propre.

22. It can only u ashamedly say , we accept with an open heart. We are a party that celebrates difference of opinions. FU la.

23. It's like the victim saying to the rapist. Do whatever you want, but do it gently - I am still a virgin. See, I open up my legs. You will get abused anyway and will be repeatedly.

24. Please forgive that macabre analogy. Please ladies and gentlemen.

25. You will notice a number of things wrong with PKRs response .

26. PKRs response was made by a member of its politburo. By the thuggish and fart faced home minister.

27. Not by any of the VPs or by the newly minted DP.

28. Two things can be read from there. First, Rafizis criticisms are treated as trivial . That being so, Rafizi can respond with more toxic criticisms.

29. Let's see how open hearted and magnanimous PKR is .

30. 2ndly, Saifuddin is so thicky, he doesn't realize he's an expendable material.

31. If anything goes wrong with his response, he will be blamed for it..what if now the component parties of the unity government come out with their criticisms?

32. Would PKR still be open hearted and remains a party that celebrates difference in opinions? Tiu kaw!

33. Eventually and ultimately, PKR would have to sack the renegade 9. It has to do this to show it's a party that has discipline, self respect and amour propre.

34. And Rafizi and gang will not be rushing to join the reactionary parties like UMNO, pas or bersatu. Rafizi once shook hands with me but refused to do so with azmin following that, giving the excuse his hands are dirty. But he just shook hands with me.

35. Rafizi and gang will remain as independent MPs. He won't be curtailed in any way in his criticisms.

36. In the meantime, it would be prudent for Rafizi to ask his friends who are already members of any political party to form a new political party.

37. To get ready a vehicle to participate in the 16th GE.

38. PKR would have to send someone to pacify and persuade Rafizi. Who can it send?

39. It cannot send Kak Wan who will be regarded as guilty by association. Nor can send the new PKR leadership which will be regarded as too antagonistic.

40. PKR cannot send DAP people whom Rafizi does not trust. He has said so previously.

41. It can only send AMANAH people. Not bang mat whom Rafizi regards as a buffoon and a court jester .

42. The only 2 people whom Rafizi respects are possibly Dr dzulkefli and Khalid samad.

43. That's why I say the array of choices available to Rafizi are so numerous that they eclipse the intrigues of a Cao Cao and the brilliance of a Zhuge Liang.

What is to done? Contrarian essays no 17

1. In my previous article, I said I am willing to accept a judicial Phillips curve.

2. That is, type B justice replaces type A justice. Provided type B justice is put to many good use .

3. Such as overruling Najib's pardon. Because the composition of the pardons board does not reflect the 3 branches of government. We cannot allow a pardons board to usurp parliament. Najib does not deserved a pardon.

4. Such as filing fresh suits on those who got DNAA.

5. Such as bringing a finality on the blasted addendum issue.

6. Such as ruling that no house arrest is available for criminal cases. Didn't wak Zahid once said, it's not provided for in the constitution?

7. Such as applying the law on all crooks- UMNO as well as PKR lanuns

8. Suçh as reopening cases like that of Reza Aziz and other dubious cases.

9. Such as making a law that says corruption cases must be wrapped up within 3 years. We don't want a situation described by Keynes ' in the long run, we are all dead'.

10. The federal court must direct the government to build a new detention center for convicted corrupts.

11. Please Nana Non, choose me as contractor. No tenders. 12. If these can be achieved under type B justice, the pragmatist in me am willing to accept the judicial Phillips curve.

13. These shock the system measures may even overwhelm the Yusof rawther case. People may forget the neck licking good case .

14. But comrade Rafizi has widened the issue somewhat wanting us to be concerned with something of a universal principle in nature.

15. He wants a RCI on the appointment of the CJ and other judicial appointments.

16. He fears that some unscrupulous persons will arrange for the appointment of a more compromisable CJ and other judges.

17. But the thing with RCI, working paper or white paper is that they won't achieve anything.

18. It will occupy valuable space on my bookshelves and make for interesting bed time reading.

19. Unless it's an inquiry done by a reputable judge like what lord Denning did in the profumo case.sometime ago.

20. Talking about some jokers messing with judicial appointments, that's correct, correct what you hear, maybe this is something new to comrade Rafizi.

21. A lawyer told me that some lawyers pasang their kakis to negotiate and kautim judges. Or they do it themselves.

22. I think sometime ago I wrote about a friend, an ex mb for that matter , sending me data showing that the incidence of corruption is highest among the judiciary.

23. Maybe a RCI should also include an inquiry of corruption in the judiciary.

24. In addition to a RCI, bring the battle one step further.

25. Why don't Rafizi himself move a motion of no confidence against the PM? That would be humongously shocking! 26. That would certainly entail Rafizi being sacked from PKR. That is definitely neck licking good.Which brings me to the next issue.

27. Given the much ballyhooed PC by Rafizi, what would PKR do to the renegade 9?

28. It's a question once asked by Lenin - what is to be done?

29. The only option opened to the PKR SUA, is to issue a show cause letter leading to eventual sacking of the renegade 9.

30. This is necessary to show that PKR has got self respect, amour propre and has got discipline.

31. Not a political party consisting of the riffraff and bottom feeders.

32. That option has got problems. The SUA can't just kowtow to the demands of the riffraff.

33. If PKR sacks the renegade 9, it would be left only with 22 MPs. Smaller in number than blasted UMNO.

34. UMNO will become more bellicose and petulant. Akmal will be in a state of perpetual non compos mentis. 35. If PKR doesn't sack the renegade 9, it will be in constant upheaval.

36. The choices available to Rafizi are so numerous that they overshadow the intrigues of a Cao Cao and the brilliance of a Zhuge Liang.

37. Read the romance of the three kingdoms or watch the tv series .

38. PKR sacks the renegade 9. They become independent MPs. Who will they join?

39. I will discuss the possibilities in the next chapter of this story.

The judicial storm in the political tea cup. Contrarian essays no 16

1. Some conscientious persons have expressed displeasure at seeing the CJ and other senior federal court judges not being given the customary extension of service.

2. Let me look at it from a different angle.

3. In principle, I detest people upon reaching mandatory retirement age, being given contracts to continue their services for a definite period .

4. Especially senior government servants. Given contract of service then given a permanent retirement in selected plush jobs.

5. Why? Are they indispensable? Of which none are.

6. Are others not capable of doing the jobs of the retired people?

7. In principle, those retiring shouldn't be given extension because that prevents others as talented of more talented from rising up.

8. If we don't like that privilege being given to senior civil servants, why should we accord exception to federal court judges?

9. It's not as if they are terminated. They have reached mandatory retirement age.

10. Many of us have indeed been chagrined at the CJ being treated that way. Not being given extension of service. And rightly so.

11. Tun Tengku Maimon has brought dignity, respect and prestige for Malaysian judiciary. She has brought dispensing of justice without fear or favour to another level.

12. Her determination and resolve at dispensing justice that way is not always universally followed. Confirming what I say that some judges and magistrates are of grade C egg material.

13. Because some judgements emanating from lower courts have bewildered us lay people.

14. But by and large, the dispensing of justice under her stewardship and supported by equally principled justices was examplary.

15. By refusing to extend the services of the CJ and other senior justices, the government or rather the PM removes a forum of livelier, robust and heterogeneous version of Justice. That version may not be agreeable or favorable to the PM. Let's call this type A Justice.

16. In it's place, the government installs a team of justices that will provide a forum where a more regimented , homogeneous and favorable ruling to the pm results. Let's call this type B justice.

17. Type B justice replaces type A justice. Or if you prefer grade C egg judges replace grade A egg judges.

18. The government through its serpentine maneuverings can put lah characters like teriruddin lah, apoo lah,ah ngow lah etc, all political toadies.

19. It's unfortunate that tengku Maimon and a few of her brother justices fall prey to this political maneuvering. Sad but thats how the cookie crumbles.

20. That, is necessary to prepare the judicial ground ready and favorable for Anwar to stave off unwanted judicial challenges.

21. One, in particular involving something delicious that is neck licking good! Move over KFC.

22. I wouldn't be surprised that on the new sun tzu judicial terrain, the Yusof rather case will miraculously disappear or dismissed on some umeritorious grounds.

23. We may not like it but that's political reality. Whether we like it, don't like it, we have to accept it .

24. So, its political expediency that is responsible for the present judicial storm. One that is not restrained by lofty ideas of Justice.

25. This political maneuvering,rather than making it difficult and complicates the administration of Justice, makes it easy and smoother.

26. So, the worry of some people that our judiciary will be in difficulty is not so cogent an argument.

27. The administration of Justice will be easier and smoother with a pliant judiciary and the rulings and judgments therefrom will be desirable.

28. It's not nice but politics is destiny.

29. The condiments to the menu are complete now. Anwar has a pliant AGC and a pliant judiciary.

30. Both necessary preconditions for Anwar to get desired judicial rulings.

31. Never has so much damage, done in so short a time by Anvar Ebraheem.

32. If some people like mr loh pee jee feels strongly about this judicial issue and about many other issues that are wrong with the government of Nana Non, perhaps he should sponsor the idea of forming another political party .

33. That would give people another choice alongside the normal Tupperware parties 34. But there is a silver lining on the softened judicial terrain of a pliant judiciary.

35. It's what I called a judicial 'Phillips curve '. Phillips curve is an economics concept. If you don't know about it, research about it.

36. In this instance, it involves a trade off between types A and B justice. 37. Type B justice rises as type A justice goes down .

38. The question then, what is Nana Non prepared to do under type B judiciary?

39. Well, he can leverage on type B judiciary and go after the UMNO crooks in particular and other crooks in general including those hiding behind the walls of PKR.

40. If he stalls, gives 1001excuses, vacillates and so forth, then the outcome outcome of the 16th GE is the just answer.

41. That is a trade off I am willing to accept given the emasculation of the judiciary.

The Reformasist, the Revisionist and the Reactionary. Part 2. Contrarian essays no 15

1. I think it was in an interview with Charlie Rose, the great lee kuan yew said 2 things determine the political longevity of the leader .

2. It depends on whether the people have faith in you and whether you keep the promises you made .

3. To the 2 factors I would add 2 more. The team to carry out your agenda remains whole. And the bind that ties your political allies remain strong .

4. I would assess the performance of Anwar Ibrahim a long these lines.

5. As to his morals I am not equipped to it. Others who think themselves as moral paragons can do that .

6. In one parliamentary session, tengku Abdul Rahman said. 'let those who have not sinned, cast the first stone. '

7. No one stood up except Mr opposition, tan chee koon. I, am no tan chee koon.

8. In my mind, Anwars ability to keep faith in the people has taken a beating.

9. He is no longer seen as the shrieking change agent, the man who is supposed to change the ways of the status quo.

10. Perhaps that exuberance is constrained actually by his UMNO DNA.

11. His father was an UMNO MP and his mother , a wanita UMNO.

12. He had a bourgeois upbringing. He rebelled as far as permitted and allowed by UMNO.

13. He really was just a smoked salmon socialist and a limousine liberal.

14. A gauche caviar or a Gucci communist. Somebody who champions the downtrodden, but enjoys the lifestyle of the upper and privileged class. Just an act

15. In his younger days, his rebellious 'excursions' were given religious sanctions , by abim a religious organization peopled by middle class young people with religious consciousness amidst crass worldly pursuits

16. Today,the PKR people must work tirelessly and in earnest to turn the one time bourgeois excursions into real passion .

17. Otherwise, PKR and Anwar are seen as fake act. Not only PKR retains the status quo and business as usual ways, PKR people become the people they initially despised and loathed .

18. I have mentioned many times what Frantz fanon warned us. The oppressed becomes the oppressor.

19. The PKR people are impatient to become the novue rich, business grabbers, rentier and rent seekers, abusers of positions, downright corrupt operators .

20. The captives become the captors, the slaves become the masters, the disposed becomes the aquisitor.

21. It's a vulgarised political Stockholm syndrome. The kidnapped develop sympathy for the kidnappers. The PKR people secretly want to become UMNO crooks .

22. As for Anwar, instead of becoming the itenerant reformist in the sense of dismantling the old ways one after another, he has become an apologist for them.

23. He has given 1001 reasons to give the tortoise treatment to reformasi. Perhaps he's waiting for the stars to align in a particular way or for the feng hsui master to give the greenlight.

24. We will be discussing anwars vacillations under several headings. Economics, politics , judiciary and the pathetic eradication of corruption. That will be discussed in the next part of my article.

25. I won't pull any punches in criticizing Anwar. Like I said , I don't want Anwar to be a one trick pony.

26. The PKR people better not take the need to keep Anwar within the guard rails of reformasi, lightly.

27. If Anwar falls, many of you will bite the dust. Some of you will even go to prison. Please be mindful of that.

28. I will continue to be a devil's advocate to point out PKR's and Anwar of the errors of their ways. I am not a PKR member and am not a threat to anyone in PKR. Nor can I be expelled for being a bitch. Unlike a Mr Loh Pee Jee.

Dancing with the addendum. Part 2. Contrarian essays no 14

1. Now, let's look at the issue whether the kings privilege to pardon is personal to holder or job related.

2. Since the pardons board performs a function sanctioned by parliament, it does a job.

3. If follows therefore, when the king presided with the pardons board to hear the application of clemency in the case of one Najib Razak, he's doing a job .

4. It is therefore clear that his capacity to pardon in this case is job specific.

5. His capacity to pardon is personal to holder in celebratory, commemorative and like occasions such as his birthday, jubilee this or that .

6. The 'job' in the pardons board is deemed completed at the close of the business session when there was nothing under the heading ' lain2 hal' was settled.

7. When the minutes of the pardons board meeting came out subsequently and the minutes was shown by Saifuddin, it made no mention of an addendum.

8. That means the purported addendum came later than even the minutes.

9. It is therefore a distinct document in time and was not issued at the same time at the pardons board meeting.

10. Being of distinct nature and a separate document if it ever existed at all, it cannot be treated as having the same legal stature as a document prepared simultaneously as a pardons board document proper.

11. A subsidiary paper cannot have the same stature as a principal document .

12. Hence, when the applicant to review the 'addendum' goes to the CA salivating at the prospects of victory, he faces some insurmountable obstacles.

13. First to have to prove the existence of an addendum. This is not easy peasy.

14. The minutes showed by Saifuddin showed no ' addendum ' existed.

15. You can't force the government to produce an ' addendum ' which was shown by the minutes did not exist.

16. At the moment, the people who insisted and asserted that an addendum does exist are the najibers and UMNO people. It's an assertion without proof.

17. An assertion without proof can also be dismissed without proof and reason .

18. As a sign of desperation and clutching at any straw, the najibers and the UMNO people as well as those on the lunatic fringe, say the addendum disappear because unknown people hid it .

19. That's speculation and any court for that matter will not countenance and embellish a speculation .

20. The next hurdle the appellant faces is to establish the legal stature of the addendum. Since it must be written after the minutes, if one does exist, it's a distinct and separate document . It must be written on the agungs office stationery, not on the pardons board's.

21. It is thefore an ' inferior ' document than one that is written contemporaneously as a pardons board document .

22. What about the letter from the sultan of pahangs office? Which the najibers, UMNO and other people alleged to confirm the existence of an addendum?

23. Not so fast friends. The letter was written on the sultans of pahangs office and written on the office stationery.

24. It's probably signed by the chamberlain. It therefore legally inferior than the document on the pardons board stationery and also legally inferior that the purported addendum signed on the agungs office letterhead. We must first establish the stature of the letter

25. The appellant would now realize that the addendum issue is not a binary case or an open and shut case .

26. We have tolerated the appellants legal filibustering ways by our indulgence of the over hyped concept of due process, we must now accept the courts also follow due process.

27. It may take years for the addendum issue to be settled. You know la, due process of the law in this country, is the way of the antelope and the elephant

28. You remember the story? An elephant is running with the hunted antelopes. An entelope asks the elephant. Why are u running with us? You are an elephant. Yes, says the elephant. But at the rate they are dispensing justice, it may take them 20 years to confirm I am an elephant .

29. Based on the reasons and other reasons not able to be mustered by me, the addendum issue will be dismissed by the CA.

30 . When this happens, the appellant will appeal to the federal court. Another round of his legal filibuster. Sheesh!

31. This article was written before the FC rejected Najibs application to direct lower court to hear again the addendum issue. I thought the addendum issue is given the tortoise treatment. That it will heard in mid or late July. Najibs lawyer may have submitted this application with a certificate of urgency ( Najibs time).

32. It begs the political question,why is Najibs side so anxious to prevent the AGC from disputing their precious addendum?

33. Could it be their own version of the addendum is so weak , that even grade C egg standard AGC people can dispute and defeat it?

34. To the layman, it means Najib does not deserve house arrest. Full stop

Reformasists, Revisionists and the reactionary. Part 1 . Contrarian essays no 13

1. One year into the tenure of Anwar Ibrahim, a friend of my brother asked him to ask me, whether Anwar will still be PM come the next GE.

2. Without hesitation, I said yes. Pak Sheikh as he is known to many, showed a lot of promise .

3. The majority of us had faith in him as the change agent. Undo the doing of government business, doing business the usual way. We had faith in him to carry out what Machiavelli said, ' I am not interested in preserving the status quo, but in overthrowing it. Isn't that reform-ising the old ways?

4. He made many promises that were pleasing to our ears. Reduction of electricity tariffs, reduced cost of living, cheaper oil, weeding out corruption and so on.

5. He had a determined team to carry out his reformasi agenda.

6. He was able to bind the OG( the original gang, not gangster) to his cause- DAP and AMANAH) . When he formed a government, others from Sarawak and Sabah joined him. Even the forever opportunistic UMNO for relevancy issue and for self preservation reasons, joined him .

7. Yes, for these reasons, I had no hesitation then, to say Anwar will continue to be PM after the next GE.

8. Now, I find it increasingly difficult to defend him. I have to eat humble pie not to see power has an edifying effect on PM's political longevity. The person asking my brother that question, has some doubts about Anwar's staying power- political that is.

9. Still, I refuse to believe and don't want Anwar to be a one trick sensation.

10. That's why I am disappointed, especially after the exit of Rafizi and gang in PKR's leadership, Anwar is surrounded by lackeys, pliant people, yes men, apple polishers and the like to downright reactionaries .

11. There will be no one bold enough to remind Anwar to remain steadfast to reformasi ideals. Not the thuggish home minister, not the powdered pompadour communications minister, the uncle tom-ming characters and never the singing female canaries. Nurulizzah does not feature in at all.

12. Let's place these characters in the context of reformasists( I prefer this term than reformists) revisionists and reactionaries. See how they fare.

13. The reformasists are those who are determined and single minded wanting radical changes in the business of government. The difference between them and revolutionists is the way of achieving them. Reformists seek change through the ballot box while revolutionists seek change by violence and bloodshed.

14. Reformasists seek power through ballot box while to revolutionists, power is through the barrel of the gun .

15. Revisionists started out as reformasists but for the edifying and corrosive effects of savouring power, they start to balk and vacillate.

16. They start giving 1001 reasons to delay reformasi. That it needs time and must be done step by step or dare I say, in and out. Although the in and out motion , to me refer to some other pleasurable pursuits!

17. They achieved this stalling of reformasi by verbal semantics or verbal gymnastics.

18. You know how some people can convince you that he's holding a pomelo instead of prickly durian. Birds flying up high can come eat from their hands. Or through their verbal artistry stimulate giggling girls into getting orgasm. Wow!

19. The reactionary is the worse of the lot. They actually don't want to overthrow the business as usual ways but amplify them in better ways.

20. They just want to make hay while the sun shines. They want to sakau as much as long as they are in power. But remember, the sun indeed does rise, but it also sets .

21. Now I think I know why an inquisitive and a perennial busybody person like Rafizi and gang must be out of PKR's leadership.

22. This is to prevent people like Rafizi throwing a spanner in the works to wasteful and imbecilic ideas like kota MADANI .

23. The ' this is your ATM minister has moved from the FT ministry to kota MADANI. Yaay!

24. I thought only Mahathir had his erections in the form of the PETRONAS twin towers, Anwar has many in the form of phallic shaped buildings in kota MADANI.

25. I hope I am not the only person who don't want to see pak shekh as a one trick pony.

26. PKR people not concerned about the leadership of Anwar Ibrahim are digging their own graves.

27 . This is part 1 of my article on this. From generalities, I will discuss specifics. See you.

Dancing with the addendum. Part 1. Contrarian essays no 12.

1. As a loyal citizen like all of you, the agungs decree is my command. I am talking about the pardon of our cause celebre, involving red lips Najib.

2. The pardoning is the cause celebre. It has caused much polarisation.

3. As a loyal citizen, I obey the decree. But it doesn't mean I agree to it. You can say I am obey under protest.

4. Here are my arguments. You are at liberty to disagree. It's no skin off my nose.

5. I think, the composition of the pardons board is unconstitutional.

6. The king sat with the FT minister and a few other luminaries. That was hardly representative of the 3 branches of government -the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. Let's call this, pardons board 'A'.

7. Ideally, the king should have sat with the executive, certain number of the legislature and certain number of the federal court judges. Then the King would have been sitting with all the 3 branches of government. Let's call this pardons board 'B'.

8. Pardons board B if far more superior than pardons board A. Pardons board B is more constitutional than pardons board A.

9. Since pardons board A is less constitutional than pardons board B, its findings especially on convicted Najib is inferior.

10. Which to means the discounts given to Najib ( the jail sentence and fine) is justiciable.

11. It can be overturned by the federal court. 12. Pardons board A the is in fact usurping the role of parliament as the legislature. We cannot allow pardons board A to rival the legislature and the executive.

13. The findings of pardons board A are erroneous.

14. The King should have recused himself as it were from presiding the pardons board, A or B.

15. The King, who is also the sultan of pahang, knows Najib very well. 16. Najib is in fact the 11th orang besar berempat of the pahang royal court.

17. The king should have assigned his deputy to sit with pardons board A. This is to dispell any suspicion of biasness .

18. Hoi, if the criteria to recuse oneself, is because the chair knows the appellant, then no one is qualifed to substitute the king.

19. All the kings know Najib. He is the ex pm. And looting 42m is not exactly stealing kacang putih, whom no one does know of.

20. Yes, all the other kings know him but not as close as the agung who is the sultan of pahang. His relationship with Najib is special.

21. These are my reasons why I don't agree with the pardon. I think pardons board A is unconstitutional. It's findings can be overturned by the federal court.

22. Pardons board A has usurped the power of parliament.

23. There is a real possibility of biasness. 24. Well, those are the reasons why I disagree with the pardon. But as a loyal subject, the kings decree is my command.

25. Finally, let me say something on the damn pardon issue. Why are we tripping over one another to exonerate Najib in any way we can?

26. We must not allow crooks who looted this country to get away scott free. Or to see the punishment given to them be watered down by some unconscionable constructs.

27. It's grossly unfair that some people, highborn, should be given privileged treatment while ordinary people received unjust justice.

28. It wouldn't surprise me, if the applicant's name for a pardon were a Mr pOH Kee mak, the pardons board wouldn't bat an eyelid and has his application dustbinned. And he wouldn't even smell the over hyped term 'due process '.

29. Yes , I am a Malay but I won't shy away from talking about latent Malay racism. And of course I will speak the same about Chinese or indian latent racism. 30. If some people, highborn and bourgeois get to abuse and even mock the law by some shyster argument, then we are sending the wrong message.

31. Which is that some people embellished with some some prerogatives can abuse the law with impunity and if found guilty can expect to be pardoned

32. In contrast, we should be telling all , especially the younger generation to always hold high the principles of the rule of law and supremacy of the law.

33. We must never forget the reminder, ' be ye ever so high, the law is above you '.

34. In the 2nd part of my article, I will give some views on the much ballyhooed addendum issue. Get your popcorn ready.

DNAA on a certain John Doe. Contrarian essays no 11

1. One of the famous parkinson's laws has it as saying, work expands to fill up the time allocated.

2. A variant of this law must say that idle work, stupidity, incompetence or just monkeying around-these expand so as to fill the time allocated,by the AG.

3. These factors must be the reasons why since 2019, the AGC has not been able to gather all the documents and evidence to mount up their case. What can we say, other than:-

4. Tiu Nia seng, cibai stuff, pundek etc. 5. When the judge says, it's clear that the prosecution is not ready to argue their case, that's a terrible indictment on the competency of the AGC prosecution team .

5(b). We are lucky that the judge found DNAA. The AGC still has a second chance to redeem it's credibility.

6. What if he had found the defendant as not guilty and gave him full acquittal?

7. Many of us would be horrified. The Malay supremacists, the entitled degenerates, the must have preferential treatment groups will be laughing at us .

8. The justice that many of us reasonable man had hoped for, that the defendant who spirited away 27m be found guilty. That would have erased his happiness.

9. Isn't it logical, if he is found guilty in the 1st sec case, he would be found similarly so in the 2nd SRC case?

10. But for the incompetence of the AGC team, the defendant got a reprieve or holiday as it were.

11. In ancient Japan, people who were entrusted with responsibility would be utterly ashamed and driven to commit seppuku.

12. In this country, no need for that. Just jump out of the window to see whether you can fly.

13. Just who are these people? Are they duds or people who had received their law degrees from kopi O institutions?

14. A friend once told me. Lawyers are like eggs. We have grades A, B, C or D. Most of the lawyers in AGC must be of the D grade.

15. Next, the duration of the legal process measured in terms of time- number of months , years is obsolete.

16. Perhaps a better measure , is in terms of the number of deaths. Since 2019, how many Malaysians have died? Due to natural causes or otherwise.

17. Maybe that macabre measure will jolt the senses of the legal fraternity.

18. Sure, we have heard of the expression that justice rushed is justice crushed. But it's equally true that justice delayed is justice denied.

19. But since 2019? It's ridiculous isn't it?

20. The lengthy legal process reminds me of a story. An elephant is running with hunted antelopes. Why are you running? You are not antelopes like us. Yes, but at the rate they are going, it may take them 20 years to ascertain that I am an elephant.

21. To redeem themselves, the AGC team must refile their submission ASAP. Don't go back to your wives or husbands. Complete your job. Stay back at the office. Watch pornography if you feel frisky. But finish your job .

22. With all the firepower behind them, the money, government support , the resources, it's baffling why they can't do their job. Unless they are of grade D eggs.

23. To ensure that only grade A eggs get into the AGC, the chamber must be restructured.

24. Only 2nd upper, 1st class law graduates and those with advance degrees in law are to be recruited into the AGC. Good God, you people are the governments lawyers. You can't afford to be 2nd rate .

25. Look at what mediocrity has done to you. The defence lawyer can ridicule, snicker, belittle and disparage you in public . As the Malay says, mana mahu taruh muka. Jatuh kemaluan .

26. Once again, I must say the fault lies squarely on the AGC shoulders. The judge can only rule based on the submissions before him. As it is, he is saving the AGC. Imagine if he had found a not guilty verdict for the defendant. The AG has to commit hara Kiri then .

27. Finally I have to comment on one sore sideshow. For the umpteenth time. Why is the defendant in court wearing bespoke suits? Not in prison pyjamas?

28. If that is any indication, we can be sure he's receiving special treatment at the Kajang spa resort.

29. With special living quarters, grab food deliveries and monthly masseuse services from ah beng massat centre maa.

30. Tell us, which part of the 'ex' you don't understand?

Solitary, brutish and vicious umbrella. Contrarian essays no 10

1. I can't be 2 extremes simultaneously. I can't high praise and besmirch someone at the same. It's going to be an either or thing .

2. In this case , I can't talk the sky about Dr m and at the same time talk disparagingly about him .

3. The contributions of Dr m to the nation has been immense. He seems able to do impossible things .

4. For that I have called him as the man who can walk on water.

5. But his recent calls to form an umbrella where all the Malay supremacists, hegemonists, bigots and bullies unite, reverse a bit of his accomplishments.

6. It's just a call for a union of racist tribes. Groups that are moved by tribal interests .

7. It will be a spectre that is haunting Malaysia. An unholy union of Malay supremacists, bullies, Corruptors , thieves the worst of our society.

8. Don't tell people that it will fail. Some types will join it. It's more important to persuade most of us not to join it. Because a concentration of evil forces under 1 umbrella threatens the whole of society. That is why, we must oppose it.

9. Because most people think it's not good for society, the calls to unite under 1 reactionary umbrella, I am glad has not gained much traction.

10. Such a union is based on 2 false premises and promises. Such a union, it is said will stop the malays losing political power and such a union will strengthen Malay economics. Both are wrong and here are my reasons.

11. Have you heard of the expression, demography is destiny? By 2030, malays will constitute 80% of the population of Malaysia. It's impossible for a minority group to gain political power. If not Dr mahathirs group, it will be another Malay group. Losing political power means only Dr m's group losing power. The pm will always be Malay.

12. The desire to concentrate power in 1 group, indicates the mind of the fascist, the dictator, the absolute ruler. That time which M longs for, is over.

13. The importance of having a plurality of political groups is that their presence constitutes competition and offering us choices. Making choices is one important feature of democracy.

14. The mind wanting to accumulate all political power under one umbrella is undemocratic. The plurality of groups ensure choices are open to us and therefore , they are more democratic.

15. The call for malays to unite under 1 umbrella is just a ploy to unite all undemocratic malays under one roof. The crooks, corrupts, hegemonists, racists, despots, monopolists, dictatorial groups are to unite under 1 umbrella.

16. The cord that will bind them is the narrative that such a unity will ensure that tanah melayu will remain under melayu hands .

17. Such a narrative is patently false. Its logic flies in the face of demography is destiny argument. Soon malays will make up 80% of Malaysia's population . How could 80% be defeated by the 20%?

18. The malays losing power are the groups under the umbrella, not the rest of us .

19. Also, there is a big assumption that the 20% spend 24 hours thinking , plotting, conspire about ways to overthrow the malays .

20. That is the obsessive thinking of 1 Malaysian 'papa doc Duvalier'.

21. Doesn't it cross our mind that the 20% want to live peacefully, to be inclusive, tolerate each other and share prosperity? Instead of being in constant loggerheads with the Malays?

22. The state of being in constant animosity, tension, distrust and antagonism is a state dreamt of by a Malaysian 'papa doc Duvalier' .

23. All rational Malaysians must politely refuse the invitation to unite under 1 umbrella.

24. To unite against who? Against the yellow menace? Against Tamil tigers?

25. Malays- stop being a don quixote attacking a windmill, thinking is a dragon .

26 . The call to unite under 1 umbrella will also allow the bottom feeders, the crooks, the corrupts( as noun) to get in .

27. These are the people who will exploit, oppress and suppress ordinary malays .

28. As early as 1927 or earlier in the annals of Abdullah munsyi, the great thinker zaaba warned malays, that the ones oppressing and exploiting the most are leaders amongst them .

29. So, malays be wary and circumspect of the call by Dr Mahathir.

30. To malays who are Muslims , they should be aware that there maybe restrictions and constraints to come under such a group.

31. Part of Quran 5:2 established 2 principles. One, you cooperate, unite or come together to help in the pursuit of greater good and the elevation of taqwa. Second, don't help in the pursuit of rancour and evil .

32. There are both a positive and negative sanctions .

33. Don't ever think the presence of a religious character at the umbrella event, gives it a Islamic stamp of approval.

34. It only goes to show that because of political expediency, religious principles are conveniently ignored!

35. We must want and demand plurality of political groups. Because that would mean choices and more freedom leading to the formation of a freer political system. That is the basis of much economic progress .

36. Dr mahathirs umbrella arrangement is actually the formation of a central command system. He gets to determine who progresses and who stays behind. We have seen the results of his central command system.

37. The greatest of economic progress has been achieved under a freer political system and not under centralized control.

38. Hence, there is an economic reason to oppose Dr mahathirs umbrella arrangement.

38(b). Which brings us to the issue of believing that unity of Malay supremacists will lead to economic progress .

39. That belief is a load of BS. Economic progress is the result of studying hard, working hard, cooperating with other economic agents. Most of all creating a political system of freer market economics.

40. Dr mahathirs umbrella idea is to create a solitary and insular organisation which does nothing but faults non malays for the shortcomings of malays. Do we want to live under such regime?

41. UMNO of course does not want to join Dr mahathirs group. Because it believes only it nonoplises the narrative of what ails the malays. Dr mahathirs umbrella arrangement challenges umnos monopoly. So , it comes out with 1001 silly reasons to spurn Dr Mahathir .

42. Many of us do not believe in UMNO just as much as we don't believe Mahathir.

The UPSI bus tragedy and the ensuing xenophobic racial slurs( the transport minister is from Malaysia not China). Contrarian essays no 9

1. The bus accident involving the death and I jury to 15 upsi students was a tragedy.

2. To the berieved family we can only offer our heartfelt condolences. No amount of words can compensate their loss. Our condolences.

3. To those injured, we pray they will recover quickly.

4. There's another aspect we want to talk about. Many Malaysians are shocked at the many overtly racist comments hurled at Anthony loke, the transport minister.

5. Like is a Chinese. Many think they are entitled to berate him and throw all kind of insults. Which is not fair and betray the commentators racial bigotry.

6. Some even called for his resignation. Believing that in making that call, they champion the Malay race.

7. We wonder, if the transport minister were a Malay, will these people throw insults and venom on such a minister?

8. Probably no. We will offer palliatives. These people wi probably ask the Malay minister to improve things. They will probably also say, the accident was God's will

9. That's a load of shit. These people are prime candidates as members of Dr mahathirs hole riddled umbrella.

10. The insults are a product of sour grapes mentality dressed in hate ideology.

11. Sour grapes because these idiots wished the transport minister is a Malay.

12. Entitlement and xenophobic racism are values taught by UMNO during their 60 year plus rule .

13. It's convenient and an opportunity to apportion blame to Anthony loke because he is Chinese. Being a Chinese, these people think there is something sinister behind his motives.

14. The truth is, Anthony loke is an intelligent and hardworking minister outperforming Malay ministers who are just paperweights.

15. What if the people actually responsible for the tragic accident are Malay? Would the criticisms be very strident as now?

16. The driver is Malay, the owner is most likely Malay and the operator of the bus transport, who is from Kelantan is likely Malay. So how?

17. The driver is probably a speed demon driving at the time under the influence of ketum, drugs or alcoholic beverages.

18. He was reported to have overtaken another vehicle at whirlwind speed when he lost control. He blamed failing brakes.

19. Check on him and charge him for manslaughter if necessary.

20. Since the brakes failed, this means there is no proper maintenance. Or do we want loke to don overalls and becomes a mechanic checking the brakes and engine? Ah loke workshop. Ask him to moonlight as one.

21. The story of the permit holder to operate the bus and the actual operator of the bus is an interesting story. Fasten your seatbelts, ya akhi.

22. The permit holder to operate the bus is a kedahan. Nowadays we can safely assume that people who are given permits are malays. There is a 95% chance that the permit holder is Malay. Loke should have more information to share, if asked .

23. But to lord it over, he farms out the permit to a kelantanese, probably another Malay

24. A racial centric permit holder surely would want to rent out the permit to another racial centric person. A Malay to another Malay .

25. This business of asking for permits and renting the out, is the typical behavior of UMNO layabouts.

26. The types who sit at coffee shops all day long and talk politics. Then they get to the UMNO general assembly where they talk Malay this and Malay that .

27. The permit holder is a rent seeker while the actual operator is a comprador rent seeker .

28. For just being rent seekers, these people should be condemned by netizens instead of Anthony loke.

29. The operator is vicariously liable for the deaths and injury to the upsi students. Because it's he who employed the speed demon.

30. So condemn him. Crucify him. Revoking the permit is one thing. Slap the operator with a stop work order for 3 months. He can sit at the warungs consuming budu cap bunga Ros.

31. I hate talking about this issue from a racial perspective. But most of the netizens are overdoing it by irrationally condemning Anthony like just because he is a Chinese minister. So do your worse, I'll do my best to debunk you all.

32. Stop your lies and I will stop telling the truth.

33. The truth some of you people don't want to hear are:- Anthony loke doesn't need defending from anyone including me and the other truth is, many of who think we are Malaysians first, find the racist slurs, obnoxious.

4. The characters in the 2nd fund manager will also sapu the money as in the 1st fund manager.

5. It will be a situation of exit the mouth of the tiger, enter the mouth of the crocodile.

6. The squeezing of EPF money is happening in an enabling environment where the culture of corruption is rampant. That has reached a horrifying level .

7. The 2nd fund manager will sapu alongside the first supported by the anti suap agency, the pliant and syoksendiri newsportals, the money laundering moneychangers, the Foodpanda escort services, the kopi O procutors and the hakims secretly harboring fascist values ( they cannot tolerate criticisms).

8. The reactionary ecclesiastical warlord will say, dakpe tu sedekah awang wei.

9. The apologist in chief will say, reform takes time. We will ask a favorite question. During your time, what do you do?

10. Talking about sedekah, didn't the prophet of Islam says, the hands on top are superior than the hands below?

11. Translated in modern times , to mean the hands that taketh are morally inferior.

12. What do we do with these moral degenerates? Idolize, hero worship or glorify them?

13. UMNO people seem to do rhat- idolize and glorify them. Call them bossku. The messiah sent to save the Malay. The toothless makciks and pakciks spend days from home to give immoral support to bossku .

14. In the Muslim holy book, the Quran says that Allah/God punishes the tribes of Israel through nabi Daud and Isa.

15. Because the defy God, kufur. When they see their brethren committing sins and doing all sorts of moral transgressions such as corruption, the kept quite and stood idly by. They condoned them. See al maidah 78-79.

16. It's hubris and pride, that prevent the Malay from speaking out against transgressions and do not prevent the sins. If God curses the tribes of Israel, God can do the same to the Malay who defy God.

17. Sure, glorify the thieves and robbers, God's curses will rein upon you. Idolize bossku and the thieves at EPF, you will be cursed.

18. In the same breath, I am not at all impressed with the showboating and pompous rants to weed out corruption and people who sakau.

19. Action speaks louder than words. Doing is a different thing. Talk is cheap.

20. Almost always, people behind the showboating character end up doing the same thing disdained about.

21. They become what Frantz fanon warned us. The oppressor becomes the oppressed, the robbed becomes the robber.

22. Make it widely publicised that EPF will produce its financial yearbook purchasable by the public. We will be surprised that members of the public are highly intelligent people. They can come out with povs, some complimentary but mostly critical. They can be more intelligent than MPs.

23. Make the books public and invite condemnation and disdain on transgressions.

3. How much was the initial capital outlay? During it's ownership for the time being , what's the operating cost?

4. Who calculated the feasability of the project? It's do-ability?

5. Who were in the team approving the project. Obviously people from the EPF. People from the MOF maybe because they must eventually okayed the deal. Reps from kkm as they are experts in hospitals .

6. Before inking the deal, these people must have traveled to the UK countless number of times. Let me be blunt- maybe some fucked some fat and ugly English asses.

7. Hey brother, relax la. They are Malays. They are entitled to such indiscretions.

8. To that, I am putting up my 2 fingers. Some like 3 fingers. In rare cases , some like fisting .

9. Just because they are Malay does not mean they deserve my unqualified allegiance and loyalty.

10. The Malay deserving my respect, allegiance and loyalty are those who are honest, hardworking, intelligent and morally superior.

11. Why do I say morally Superior? Because didn't the prophet of Islam says, in conjunction to giving sedekah, the the hands that giveth/on top are superior?

12. For general application then, the hands that taketh are morality inferior.

13. Now tell me, do these kind of Malay, deserve my unqualified allegiance and loyalty?

14. The present fire sale price ( let's hope it's not) , does it cover the initial total cost?

15. Who determined the beginning and ending prices. Screen them for corruption. Not because we don't trust them, but it pays to be careful with public money.

16. The begining cost was justified on many reasons, we are sure the present sale price, even if below market price will be regarded as the best price we can get.

17. If those who decided on the prices are malays, there's a 95% chance they are on the take.

18. Not because they are inherently dishonest and corrupt, I am only using the not easily disputable logic of the late tun hanif omar.

19. When asked why 95% of those arrested as communist sympathisers are Chinese , he answered that because 95%of communists are actually Chinese, there's a 95% chance that a sympathiser is Chinese.

20. Following the same logic, if 95% of those caught and actually found guilty of corruption is Malay, then there is a 95% chance that a Malay in authority is corrupt. Logic kan?

21. I have long regarded the following 2 things as extremely important for our country.

22. First, a government fund manager, backed by law like the EPF should have a second competitor. Government instituted and backed by law.

23. Then these 2 fund managers will compete to give the best return for their savings.

24. Isn't it true, if they must save in accordance to the law, then the law ought to also protect them to get the best return.

25. Secondly, appointment of money above a certain threshold must be subject to a second oversight party .

Cracks leading to split or retak membawa belah. Contrarian essays no 6

1. When t zafrul was the finance minister,in one of his speeches in parliament,he said , we are solving this problem in a holistic manner. As a economist, I said to myself,wtf is he talking about?

2. He must have learnt this term from an Ayurvedic practitioner or from Ah Beng health centre.

3. Obviously, he is not a good communicator. He was unable to make himself clearer or worse, he didn't know the subject matter he wants to talk about .

4. In other words, he's not a big deal. Even UMNO doesn't want to talk about the quality of his work other than screaming about how an ingrate he is .

5. Or that if PKR accepts the turncoat, it will create bad feelings.

6. But creating a myth about zafrul is necessary to 'crowd out' the damaging effects of Rafizis resignation.

7. A red herring is required to distract attention from the I'll effects of Rafizis bombshell.

8. What better way that to mythify zafrul in the hope, it can eclipse the Rafizi issue.

9. Anwar gave the hint. He says zafrul delivers. Followed dutifully by staments from the mucus-dripping from the nose AMK leader that zafrul has got merits .

10. To justify the eventual entry of zafrul into the wombs of PKR, but more calculated to eclipse the damage Rafizi has caused PKR.

11. In truth , the majority of PKR people do not see anything extraordinary things that are brought in by zafrul .

13. There is no value added brought in by zafrul into PKR.what he delivers and assumed value added are all exaggerated to eclipse Rafizis substantive contributions to PKR.

14. PKR is fast becoming a dumping ground for bourgeois rejects. Nurulizzah and gang has much to re educate these elements.

15. This has exposed the shallowness of PKR composition after all. Many joined PKR without knowing the philosophy of reformasi actually. It's just a chorus shout screamed by the paramount leader . And followed religiously.

16. Rather than bringing stability and calmness within PKR, zafruls entry into PKR will bring in more disarray.

Reformasi vs Reformasi. Contrarian essays no 5.

1. The writings are on the wall. Rafizi will eventually leave PKR. Not because he wants to but PKR, especially the revisionists will treat him as the enemy

2. The people who won, have the UMNO mentality. If you are not with us, you are against us kind of thinking.

3. We will see that people appointed by Anwar as ministers or to positions of some power are politically immature and wet behind the ears.

4. When they hear of Rafizi talking consistently about reformasi lost and about many issues hitherto hidden from us, they will react in knee jerk fashion.

5. They will mistakenly regard what Rafizi raises as attacks on PKR. That's what politically immature people do.

6. As the attacks become more strident and virulent, Rafizi will find the PKR set-up as hostile. Then the logical choice for him.and his gang is to leave PKR.

7. I have not even finished this article, nik nazmi had to come out with a statement that Rafizi and he resigned their ministerial posts not leaving the party. This meant the political immatures have begun their onslaughts.stupid jerks !

8. Anwar Ibrahim must contain these eager beaver political immatures from escalating the rot .

9. Rafizi too must rein in his troops. But the onus is more on Anwar Ibrahim as it's his camp that wants Rafizi to stay put .

10. My reading is ,it will come to a push comes to shove situation. Rafizi will leave PKR or cause himself to be expelled.

11. He won't be joining the bourgeois parties like UMNO, pas, bersatu etc. He will bide his time and form his own party .

12. He will then openly compete to be called a 'revolutionary' reformasi party as opposed to anwars watered down reformasi party .

13. It's revolutionary vs. revisionist reformasi party

14. Anwars people will ferociously object to their party being described as revisionist or watered down.

15. Nurulizzah for instance will insist that their reformasi is not dead. But her assertion and theirs does not matter. The people's perception does. And to the public, reformasi is kaput.

16. Butchered as it were, by the many promises Anwar made but not kept.

17. I don't want to repeat myself silly by mentioning the factors determining anwars political longevity. You can read about that in my earlier articles.

18. One indicator of a revisionist party with watered down reformasi, is its readiness and willingness to talk to bourgeois parties and bourgeois elements.

19. It is difficult for many us to believe that the bourgeois element, zafrul leaving UMNO and joining PKR to be a mere coincidence.

20. There must have been some serious pow wow between anwars PKR and the bourgeois of the hour .

21. If you don't already know but now you know, this reflects anwars penchant to wheel and deal. Specifically in making secret deals .

22. I am not going to fault Anwar on this and regard him as a bad person. He's being an effective politician in the Machiavellian sense.

23. Except then,it's not open for him to say others acting unscrupulous,if they act the same way.

24. If wheeling and dealing is part of anwars persona, it's not impossible for PKR to talk to a bourgeois party like Bersatu.

25. Why not? It's a practical and pragmatic choice. Bersatu has more seats than UMNO. If UMNO doesn't like it and feel strongly about it,it can opt to voluntarily leave.

26. UMNO that does not have power will fade into oblivion. Then we can see if UMNO is experiencing a resurgence as claimed by the pontian gnome.

27. For convenience and pragmatic reasons, it would be more prudent to wheel and deal with bersatu.

28. Send UMNO to pasture. We will quickly see that UMNO with no posts and power is nothing. If it shouts its xenophobic nationalism and its fascist religion and pompous loyalty to King, it will gain no traction at all. Try see.

29. The spanner in the works is Rafizi. What if he actually leaves PKR. Forms a new rival party?

30. Then it will be revolutionary reformasi vs watered down reformasi. True reformasi vs false reformasi. Revolutionary vs revisionist, counter and reactionary reformasi.

31. It will be extremely difficult for nurulizzahs reformasi to compete against Rafizis reformasi. As it is, nurulizzah is struggling to insist reformasi is still alive. They will say, we have found the enemy and the enemy is us.

32. If this happens, have we asked where will the OG partners of PHs allegiance go to? Amanah and DAPs?

The Saifuddin comedy show and other issues. Contrarian essays no 4.

1. The easily moved among us shed tears when Saifuddin said he fears PKR will lose Rafizi.

2. Nobody believed him then and now. It's part of the drama concealing many things.

3. It's an admission of guilt. He knew of the inevitable outcome. He knew of the PKR revisionists ganging up to kill off Rafizi.

4. So, as a loyal foot soldier, he faked expressing grief to mollify rafizis people .

5. When he said he fears losing Rafizi, he's saying the literal truth. Rafizi will eventually leave PKR and leave it to its devices

6. The relationship between revolutionary reformasi and watered down reformasi is untenable. Sooner or later, Rafizi has to decouple himself from a revisionist PKR.

7. When he says that he will speak out of anwars duty to the party, that was just a show .

8. Would anyone believe that a person who owes much of his political fortunes to Anwar would bite the hands of a person who feeds him? Come man, credit us with some intelligence.

9. The drama which Saifuddin puts up is part of a bigger drama to diffuse the anger of Rafizis people.

10. I hope Rafizi is perceptive enough to recognize the sham. He knows these people better.

11. An astute observer will notice much of Rafizis body language at the PKR congress .

12. When Rafizi shook the hands of Anwar limply and walked past the latter nonchalantly, Anwar was only able to respond with a wry smile and bemused look .

13. At that time saudara Rafizi already knew of the inevitable outcome of the contest. More importantly, he knew Anwar orchestrated the whole thing.

14. But don't see Anwar as a bad person. He's using all the deception and underhanded tactics and use of the dark arts of subterfuge to win. He's acting Machiavellian.

15. For the moment, Anwar wins but don't count out Rafizi yet. It ain't over until the fat lady sings.
