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.

Additional notes on EPFs fiscal misadventures. Contrarian essays no 8.

1. When I wrote the article on the sale of the EPF hospitals, a friend wrote back immediately.

2. To tell that I have omitted a few important points .

3. What if the 2nd fund manager is also composed of mediocre qualified people and are equally dishonest?

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.

2. It's reported that EPF is to sell 100% of its interest in 12 hospital in the fish and chips country.n

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 .

26. The appointment of say 1b should be brought before parliament and debated thoroughly.

27. We don't cases of you come before the pm, kneel down, cry and wail, you get the money.

28. We just cannot trust the judgement call of 1 person when it comes to taxpayers money.

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 .

12. What extraordinary things can be brought in by zafrul when he is known to not convene a meeting for a full year when he was head of an UMNO division?

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.

Sour grapes mentality and umnos fascism. Contrarian essays no 3

1. I am not interested nor do I know the beef between poad sumbing and nurulizzah..In general, it's the inherent animosity of UMNO apparatchik has against the party that UMNO lost to. UMNO has to play 2nd fiddle to PKR and that is soul biting.

2. People like poad can't carry that much animosity in their chest without finding any excuses to vent it out.

3. In this case in what he regarded as drama and hypocrisy nurulizzah has towards saudara Rafizi.

4. It's just sour grape mentality engined by umnos Malay fascism.

5. People like poad or any other donkeys in UMNO can never achieved Rafizis reputation, that he must belittle that reputation.

6. It must have given him a measure of lip licking satisfaction.

7. Whether or not Rafizi deserves such public approbation, is not for fuad zarkashi to decide.

8. So his outburst is an envious outpouring from him. It's also a reflection of the fear of the ' revolutionary' messages that a person like Rafizi brings. They can lead to the increasing irrelevance of UMNO.

9. For decades, Malays have been taught that the way forward is to maintain a quarrelsome and hostile relationship with non malays.

10. Imagine if that is taken away. People opt for Harmony, tolerance and inclusiveness, UMNO will not be able to champion that bellicosity. That would make UMNOs role irrelevant, wouldn't it?

11. And for decades, malays have been taught also that the way forward is to confer upon themselves as many special privileges as possible and to protect these privileges by legislative constructs.

12. Imagine also that these are eventually removed. Isn't it horrifying to UMNO?

13. So a relic person like fuad z, decides that the best defense against dangerous messages a person like Rafizi brings, is offense. Attack him by using a borrowed knife.

14. UMNO actually represents chains that hold back malays. By breaking from UMNO , malays lose nothing but the chains.

The rise of the revisionists. And beware of fair weathered allies. Contrarian essays no 2.

1. What is the fuss about wanting to know if Rafizi were to resign or not. It will come in due course, if at all .

2. Rafizi marches to his own drumbeat. Not when the social media pundits say so.

3. And let's not over read rafizis presence at the ASEAN summit. He may be there at the request of Nana Non.

4. Or in a tat for tat move, Rafizi plays along with nana. In the art of deception.

5. He aceded to the request of Nana Non so as to induce the latter to let his guards down. But I doubt it if Nana Non does not already know it .

6. My take is, Rafizi will eventually resign ( at the point of this writing, Rafizi has in fact submitted his resignation)

7. We can dismiss the wet dream hopes of some people, that Rafizi will be appointed a ' punahsihat' la, the new sec gen la and so. The chances of those things happening are slim and none .

8. Obviously the winners in PKR's recent election do not think much of Rafizi and those who resigned from their ministerial posts. They think they are as smart

9. Rafizis post for instance, can be filled by nurulizzah, amiruddin, ramanan and so on. Heck even the nitwit G&G minister can replace Rafizi.

10. So why the meeting to discuss the role of Rafizi? Ah yes he can be a cleaner.

11. I don't mean a cleaner as in sweeping the floor or cleaning toilets in PKR office.

12. But a herculean cleaner, cleaning the shit in PKR's Augean stables.

13. The resignations will be replaced and we will have to adjust to a new set of arrangement. That's it.

14. We will be horrified initially but will soon come to terms with what's happening. Rafizi and gang will do their stuff and Anwar will do his.

15. These are exciting times. Rafizi coming back as an ordinary MP and we can expect sparks to fly.

16. He will become once again,a' mechanic 'a term I used of him as someone who prises open many controversial and explosive issues.

17. In particular, he will talk about 2 things he hinted in his speeches before. The comatose and near death condition of reformasi and of the many skeletons in the governments cupboard.

18. It will be interesting to see how nurulizzah and PKR respond to the 1st assertion. I hope nurulizzah will gain as much success in rebutting that issue as she does in championing the TVET issue. Which is nothing and insignificant.

19. People will soon realize that the moniker puteri reformasi that goes with her, will show what everyone suspects all along- that she is a paper tiger .

20. We are rubbing our hands to hear about much Rafizi wants to talk about. We shall be amazed that so many things have been hidden from us .

21. We want to hear about issues like fashion valet and the incompetence of khazanah. We want to hear about the 1.1b bail out of sapura, about the deal involving one Salvador 'Dali', about corruption that's ravaging most government institutions and so on. Spill baby spill!

22. But I have no doubt that Nana Non will weather the storm. For a man who has gone through the worst of tribulations, he will get through. Whether unscathed or otherwise remains to be seen .

23 . Rafizi will sadly huff and puff, anwars team will listen but make don't know . They will put up with the farcical disputations. That's about it.

24. Right now, Anwars priority is to how to extend his political longevity. In the past I have said it depends on him keeping the faith of people in him as the change agent, keeping the promises he made and the presence of a team committed to carry out his plans .

25. There's another factor which I failed to recognize. Since the PH is a coalition government, his political longevity will also depend on his ability to court new allies.

26. With Rafizi out of the way, it opens the doors for him to deal with new suitors as it were, bersatu for instance.

27. UMNO is always suspect. I maintain that it's an enemy in waiting. Always plotting and happy to see PKR in trouble.

28. Just look at the statement of wak 47. He says Rafizi and nik nazmis resignation showed they are principled. What does UMNO know about principles? It has no principles .

29. He is focusing on something that troubles PKR. It didn't occur to him to say, whatever it is, UMNO stands behind the PM. Beware of the ponorogo Nana Non!

Scooping in muddy waters and laying a fish trap in between a gap. Contrarian essays no. 1

1. Many welcomed rafizis loss and rationalised it. For Rafizi he feels relieved to be free of political play and also free from palace intrigue.

2. But for many, their self serving summary of the loss is disappointing to me at least

3. These people talked of rafizis loss as a result of sandiwara politik and poltik tinggi at 2 levels.

4. At level 1, they talked in terms of Qadha and Qadar. They are acting sanctimonious and acting with pompous piety.

5. Fuuh! Qadha and Qadha and Qadar, I felt like falling off my chair.

6. I haven't felt that way since bossku Al mulut merah spoke about maqasid shar'iyah and wasathiyah. Good God!

7. Perhaps these people have just a cursory knowledge of these concepts, giving them a broad brush. Just mentioning them in passing to give the people some religious respectability in explaining the loss of Rafizi.

8. You know how malays are, sprinkle your narratives with religious words, they stopped thinking. They suffer a brain freeze.

9. The 2nd level is a dead give away of their true character. The loss of Rafizi, is an opportunity for Rafizi and us to return to politik melayu dan Islam. Ah ,..so that's it , ya.

10. Political melayu is what? Politik UMNO or pas? That's why I said a dead giveaway - the people speaking like this must be UMNO operatives .

11. Looks like many of us haven't freed ourselves from thinking in terms of temporal and ecclesiastical fascism.

12. The new PKR leadership has much to do to erase that kind of reactionary thinking especially among malays. But being revisionists themselves, can they?

13. These people are using the loss of Rafizi to scoop in muddy waters or placing a fish trap in between a gap. They think Rafizi suffers a rebound and will fall into their arms. You think Rafizi is a love sick teenager or what?

14. You may entice a revisionist into your suffocating embrace but not a true blue reformasist like Rafizi.

15. So people calling for a return to politik melayu dan Islam, go play with yourselves.

16. Instead of looking at the loss in terms of going back to politik melayu dan Islam, let's look at as a clash between reformasi forces against counter reformasi and revisionist forces.

17. The argument of going back to politik melayu dan Islam which is an unmistakably an UMNO argument, confines the issue as a Malay problem only. On the other hand, looking at the issue as a clash between 2 diametrically opposing forces, makes the issue race free. It's an issue that concerns both malays and non malays .

18. The argument of going back to politik melayu dan Islam is so blase' and does not impress us. Yeah, yeah we have heard of it many times . It's just another step of making malaysia into a Malay bully state

19. At the moment, in the clash between the two forces, the revisionists win. Rafizi who is intelligent and perceptive, knows who is behind them 20. The revisionists are eager to work with the bourgeois forces. The bourgeois forces should be taking to amiruddin, to the gol and gincu man, to ramanan, to izzah. Not to Rafizi. Title.

The URA and the marginalisation of malays. Part 1. Tales by an unknown blogger no 100

1. For my 100th article in the tales by an unknown blogger series, I am writing my perspectives about the Urban Renewal Act , URA.

2. The ura wasa mooted by DAPs nga kor Meng. He is minister of housing

3. When the URA was first mooted, it raised a storm of protests. Especially from Malay supremacists. Plus other ' defenders of the hapless.

4. But before discussing the URA, let me say a few things about the brouhaha surrounding the controversial very pricey hawker kiosks.

5. It's ridiculous that a unit of kiosk costs so high. There are many of them. People are rightfully angry at that. So they direct their diatribes at NGA.

6. If the criticisms, very strident at that are appropriate, they are acceptable.

7. But what if these criticisms are actually vengeful venom directed at NGA, being a Chinese and from the DAP?

8. But if these criticisms are directed at nga in personam, Nga has every right to defend himself in any manner.

9. No one else has a right to insist Nga defend himself in a scripted way.

10. But what if Nga is defending not himself but his ministry and the officials therein?

11. Has anyone asked, who selected the vendors, approved the kiosk and okayed the unit price?

12. It may have been the ksu or su or heads of departments. And these are malays.

13. Because they are malays, using the simple but not easily disputed logic of the late tun hanif omar, there's a .95 probability that these people are corrupt .

14. You may remember, when hanif omar was asked why 95% of those arrested as communist sympathisers are chinese, he answered that since 95% of communists are Chinese so there is 95% probability that communist sympathisers are Chinese.

15. Logical right?

16. So if 95% of those actually caught and found guilty of corruption are malays, there is a 95% chance of the Malay officials in Ngas ministry are corrupt.

17. So the same ferocious punishment suggested for Nga because he is Chinese and DAP, should also be suggested for the Malay officials, right?

18. It shouldn't be that after realizing the real culprits behind the kiosk issue are malays, we suddenly back down in our ferocity. Tablay itu maciam, tamby.

19. Deal with the malays the same way you would if the culprit were Nga. Baru adil.

20. This is the problem with some malays. If they think that some decisions are made by a Chinese and DAP some more, there must be something fishy and sinister.

21. That's simply hate speech and opinions laced with racism To be continued in part 2

Reformasi vs counter reformasi. The PKRs contest for number 2. Part 2/2. Tales by an unknown blogger 99

1. The people behind nurulizzah are actually doing a disservice to Anwar. The vehemence of their activities can't prevent people from suspecting that Nana non has a hand in the plan to oust Rafizi.

2. The brazenness and the impudence by which these people gang up to wallop Rafizi can only imply they have the blessings of the supreme leader .

3. The actions of these people are so despicable and obnoxious. Imagine the conspiracy among them to do in one of their own. And the one of their own is a sitting deputy president of their party .

4. If they can do it on one of their own, imagine how they look at the common people .

5. The only way to retain the confidence of the people,is to put in place a team of people determined to carry out true reformasi.

6. The whole episode also shows that nurulizzah is easily manipulated. If she can at present be easily manipulated, it's not difficult to see who will be wearing the pants later on.

7. The responses of the PKR people who support nurulizzah are so acrimonious and vile. Nurulizzah may not be the one responding to Rafizi but her silence on the attacks on Rafizi connotes her implied approval.

8. We never saw such vehement responses at other times say when akmal Saleh stole many of the thunders from PKR especially the AMK. Their behavior on these occasions was effeminate or in the Language easily understood by Malaysians, was transvestite-like.

9. But on Rafizi, their sitting deputy president, it's like carpet bombing with agent orange.

10. In the meantime, nurulizzah can go on playing the role of a dolled up prima Donna.

11. What ails PKR? Any perceptive person would be able to infer those listening to the speeches of Rafizi.

12. First is the erosion of reformasi ideals corrupted by power . It's power corrupts and it corrupts absolutely.

13. To arrest that corruption,PKR needs a team who remain iron resolved to carry out reformasi.

14. Despite the denials, reformasi is in coma, if not already dead. They are just slogan shouts at gatherings.its overwhelmed by the ubiquitous and hazy madani . You can't understand its concept just as you can't understand the many advertisements appearing on TV.

15. One has to be a pyan Habib, Latif mohiddin or MGR to understand the adverts and then MADANI.

16. Screaming about it until the arteries in the necks bulge out, doesn't meant it will be carried out.

17. In modern times, I think. It was Milton Friedman who said almost always what was promised , produced results that are exactly opposite.

18. We are promised reformasi, we get the preservation of business as usual ways.

19. The PKR people who assumed government posts become stealthier penyakau, leakers of tenders and contacts, unbridled Corruptors, abusers of positions and so on.

20. It's the situation described by Frantz fanon, the oppressed becomes the oppressor.

21. Theres widespread cheating at the cabang elections. It's riculous that their election committee considers screen recordings as inadmissible. Do you want to overcome the problem or not? So don't operate as a sanctimonious court. A party makes its own operational rules .

22. Hello, at LSE, they are teaching about the law and AI. It's inconceivable that a low level technology like screen recordings are not recognized.

23. I find the customary denials and words of lower ranked leaders against the words of the deputy president as farcical. Whose words can you believe? Rafizi has been proven to be honest while the words of the party careerists are in doubt.

24. Lastly, I find it intriguing and very interesting when Rafizi said that being an ordinary member he can freely talk about many things.

25. Ah so, there are many things that are hidden from us, is it?

26. As a defunct economist, I would like to listen to the issue of fashion valet which seems to quiet down. I want to listen to the appointment of various vendors to the economically irrational deal of leasing helis from westar aviation, the deal of farhash Salvador, the idiotic bail out of sapura, the rampant corruption in tabung Haji, in PETRONAS and in many other government owned companies.

27. But first, let me take out my packets of kuachi- eagle brand of course.

28. 2 statements by Nana non disturbed me. The first, those who lose jangan khianat.

29. That, to me suggests that losers are already predetermined. There is an unholy alliance to defeat Rafizi and gang.

30. 2nd, is a most recent statement. He brushed off any notions of a cabinet reshuffle but does not discount resignations.

31. Rafizi and gang's resignation is imminent or they are asked to leave.

32. In a rare display of cocksure behavior, Anwar may be forced to swallow his own sputum. He will find kicking out Rafizi is not as easy as eating pasembur at Tanjung.

33. Kicking out Rafizi is like getting rid of your credible alter ego. What's left is a phony personality.

34. My only interest is to see PKR remains the main pillar of the government. A return of UMNO rule is a most dreadful option. I am not a PKR member and therefore no threat to anyone.

35. My views are unsolicited. You may listen to them if you want. If not , throw them in the rubbish bin. But do so at your own peril.

Reformasi vs counter reformasi. The PKRs contest for number 2. Part 1. Tales by an unknown blogger 98

1. The contest for the PKR number 2, casts a long shadow on the political fortunes of Nana Non.

2. In particular to his political longevity. We know that , that depends on him keeping the faith of people in him, on him fulfilling the many promises he made and on his team of fellow leaders determined to carry out the reformasi ideal.

3. Already in the 1st two,he has problems, on the 3rd he's not going to sleep soundly either.

4. Keeping the faith of people in him means keeping the belief of people in him as a change agent. Change agent number 1. Living out reformasi ideals.

5. We are reminded of what James carville asked, change or more of the same? Or as Machiavelli asked, are we interested in retaining the status quo or overthrowing it?

6. And my honest and candid answer, because I don't want Anwar to be a one trick pony, is that he shouldn't waste any time stopping him to carry out reformasi ideals.

7. He should in earnest, weed out the vestiges of past UMNO. The UMNO of Ismail sabri, Najib and mamu Mahathir. And bersatus legacy.

8. Over the basic issue of reformasi, anwars attitude is dubious.

9. In many instances, Anvar seemed unduly restrictive and self limiting and not willing to go the whole 9 yards. He seems wavering, diffident, compromised etc. In place, he justifies his 'non feasance' by all sorts of excuses and bourgeois verbal manipulations. I am not going to cite actual instances -there were many

10. Under those circumstances and they will be repeated many times because behaving that way, is an integral part of his constitution, he needs a firm voice emboldened enough to keep him within the guard rails. Hey, all the while he sings bol Radha bol, suddenly he goes on a frolic of his own and sings mahathirs favorite , kuch Kuch HOTA hai.

11. In such situations he doesn't need a sycophant and a yes sir jolly good sir type of person to sound him.

12. I am not going to use the tired arguments of dynastic pretensions and nepotism.

13. What's more damaging, is what I term as the deliberate placement of incompetents in positions of responsibilities.

14. Placing misfits in responsible positions caused all types of havoc to Nana non. Incompetence, mediocre work output, power abuses, corruption and so on.

15. Didn't the prophet Muhammad warned us, in a Hadith sahih, that when you lose entrustment ( AMANAH) wait for Armageddon to come .

16. Whereupon the companions asked. How do you lose entrustment? When you put the wrong people in responsible positions, answered the prophet.

17. I see the clash of 2 forces in the PKR contest for number 2.

18. Between a group led by lapiji which is ready and willing to assert and keep alive the ideals of reformasi.

19. The other counter reformasi group led by nululizzah which are willing to compromise and tolerate the supreme leader's vacillations. NIA becomes a useful idiot .

20. Why do I begin the discussion on PKRs contest for number 2 by talking a little( for now) about the political fortunes of Anwar? Because I think this bloodletting will not happen without the blessings of dear leader

21. Rafizi, I believe is insightful enough to know this .

22. But I am not going to fault Anwar for behaving that way. He's being an effective politician, a Machiavellian persona at that .

23. We mustn't think of him as sly, deceptive, tricky and willing to employ the darker arts of politics.

24. We are judging a contest between politicians, not a contest between persons for good behavior.

25. Rafizi has just got to invent a better mouse trap.

Dog shit views and vomit that has gone through a cats digestive system kind of opinions. Tales by an unknown blogger no. 97

1. I will select a few. The first revolves around the hottest issue at the moment. The ongoing contest between Rafizi and Nurul Zzzah.

2. Some PKR bozo said those not PKR members , don't be busybodies and meddle into the affairs of the party. Don't comment.

3. What? Am I hearing right? Sounds like something coming out from UMNO, mca and mic .

4. Hubristic and cocky. Ok, we hear you. Come GE, you don't be a busybody meddling in our decision of who to vote. Don't come to the people trying to persuade them to support you.

5..if it's being a busybody commenting on the ongoing contest, it's also being a busybody meddling in people's decision making process. Fair, isn't it?

6. That kind of look down talk is so imperial and mandarin like. People are dumb and fickle minded incapable of commenting on the ongoing contest but are pliable to vote for the new Parti Kincing Rakyat.

7. It seems the attitude of caring a shit about people's opinions has caught up with some PKR mother f***(typical of BN people) has made them facetious and smart alecky much like the peanut forgetting its shell .

8. People who voted you in can no longer afford to be indifferent as to who leads them. Being indifferent has caused them miseries under BN crooks.

9.its because PKR is the main pillar behind the government, people feel strongly too about expressing what type of leaders lead them .

10. The PKR people who tell of the ' busybodies ' will rue the day when they acted flippant.

11. Next is the lie being hawkered around that malays will lose their political power if they stick around with PH.

12. The absurdity of the claim is superseded by the racial bigotry and prejudices of its sponsors.

13. The main sponsors are the usual suspects -malay supremacists in various guises. The claim being made in measured tones and statesman manner while others scream about it in bellicose tones.

14. Have people heard of the expression demography is destiny? You have probably not if you have been reading comics and books on ghost stories.

15. By 2030 , malays would constitute 80% of Malaysia's population. Pray tell, how could the 80% be displaced by the 20%? In the immortal words of AR Tompel, impossible, impour-sibble!

16. Unless the malays are completely turned off by the Malay bozos offering themselves as candidates. Or the malays suddenly becoming politically sophisticated and extremely liberal. 2 chances malays becoming that. Slim and none.

17. Even as now, the erroneous claim and lie is debunked.

18. Just look around us. The PM is Malay, the DPMs are malays, the MBs are all malays save for Penang, the TYTs are malays, the SS are all malays, the pengarah jabatans are malays,the DOs are all malays, the CJ is Malay, the IGP is and so is the army Chief. At all levels, the taikos are all Malays.

19. For the good os us, prove that claim. It turns out to be just a xenophobic and paranoid lie.

20. The claim is made just to scare malays from supporting PH. Malays are no longer provincial or living isolated in an island. Malays are warming up to the idea of inclusiveness, moderation, racial and religious tolerance, shared prosperity and so on- living in cooperation not in incessant antagonism.

21. Then, there is a poll taken to gauge racial support for Najibs pardon. What's the motive?

22. The survey is done with malice aforethought. Pitting one race against another. It must be the work of the UUCL-United UMNO Cyber Liars.

23. The business of sowing social dissension, racial mistrust, distrust and perpetual suspiciousness is the raison d'etre of UMNO. It stems from its xenophobic nationalism.

24. Mind you, the pardon of Najib arose because he is convicted of a crime. In reality the survey of his pardon is a survey whether you support crime or worse, you are a criminal in potentia?

25. It's a terrible slur on the Malay and Indian communities, where the majority of them are seen as supporting crime or are criminally minded.

26. Intuitively, the survey is defective. Malays and indians, with their strong Islamic and Hindu moral teachings would condemn crime.

27. Rather than complimenting the Chinese community for being steadfast and morally upright in opposing crime, they are seen as the odd Man out, or smart alecky .

28. In a situation where the majority rules( it's 2 against 1 right) the Chinese are on the ' wrong' side and cannot be depended on to achieve the actually achieve the desired aim.

29. The hidden desired aim is to show that the major races in Malaysia, support pardoning Najib or accept crime.

30. But for the high percentage of Chinese opposing pardon, the overall majority opposes pardon. It's confound the Chinaman.

31. That's why I say the survey has malice aforethought. It's meant to isolate the Chinese and make them seen as despicable.

32. Then there are technical issues with the poll. An honest professional statistician would tear the poll to pieces.

33. What was the sample size? Was it big enough to represent Malaysia? How was the sample size taken?

34. For example, were 100 malaysians chosen at random? Or you chose 100 malays, indians and Chinese each?

35. If the latter way was chosen, then surely the conclusions, summary and inferences reached will be skewed.

36. If there 70 malays with UMNO leanings and 70 indians with MIC leanings, they will support pardon.

37. But if in the Chinese group one has 90 people with DAP leanings or if you were to ask a person such as I who has an inherent dislike for unfair privileges and entitlement, I will say no to pardon as do the Chinese with DAP leanings.

38. Rational Malaysians should reject such a survey with malice aforethought, defective from the beginning and reaching erroneous conclusions.

39. It maybe just data dreamed of by some jocks sitting at a table while eating kacang. Or worse, while wanking themselves.

40. It's numbers made respectable by calling them poll and intellectual survey

41. I can't resist on commenting on a stupid is as a stupid does. That's what you get, when an UMNO and defunct veteran says pas is envious of UMNO because UMNO has tamed DAP. Wow!

42. That's typical of an UMNO brownshirt. Condescending, patronizing and conceited. Cocky as always.

43. It's also emblematic of a person living in perpetual denial, perhaps after drinking copious amounts of ketum

44. The dumbass with the dog shit of an opinion cannot decipher the messages in air Kuning, the latest by election.

45. It's not in Egyptian hieroglyphics but the message is in a language all Malaysians can understand. Except for UMNO mental retards.

46. It's not the strongest that will survive( yes UMNO is strongest in vitriolic and hurling threats) but the most adaptive that will survive.

47. But UMNO, consisting mostly of mental retards can't understand that. How could they? They read mostly komik gila2 and ghost stories.

48 . People now want inclusiveness, moderation, shared prosperity, racial harmony, religious tolerance not tension, which is UMNOs stock in trade.

49. We don't care what's the quarrel between UMNO and PAS is, but DAP is not a beast to be tamed by bully beastnaster UMNO with whip in hand.

50. Au contraire, it's UMNO which is tamed and domesticated.

Raub, illegal alienation of land, their uses and illegal logging. Tales by an unknown blogger no 96

1. I thought I am done writing about land illegally cultivated with durian. Not until the sultan of Pahang now says, some 10,500 hectares of land in Raub is cultivated with durian.

2. Just who the f supplied the figures to the sultan? Have them strung by the balls.

3. Didn't the sultan initially said it was 14,400 hectares? Then an NGO fronted by BN people said on top of the 14.5k , there is 5.5k hectare land cultivated with durian. The NGO even bombastically said, it will chase the MP out from Raub.

4. So it was 14. 5 hectares, 5.5k hectares and now 10.5k hectares? Which is which?

5. You people, don't be angry if I asked as awkward questions. In a visit to the sungai Ruan Kelau area, we saw the sultan inspecting felled durian trees. Not pokok hidup.

6. I think, that wouldn't hold in court. When asked by a lawyer worth his salt, the person in the dock will answer, no I saw felled trees, not live durian trees. It would seem the evidence has been destroyed.

7. If I know better, I would impute that the culprits behind the durian trees have destroyed the evidence .

8. It would seem the Raub land office, the pejabat daerah doesn't know head or tail.

9. 14k, 5k and now 10k hectares. It forgot the 1st lie it said. It now falls in the 1st hole it dugs . It's the way of a liar.

10. Ask the land office, how much land are cultivated with durian. How many hectares in mukims Sega, baru talam, teras, dong, ulu dong are actually under durian?

11. I am not going to defend the ah bengs. If it's proven they broke the law, they must be punished appropriately..

12. If they meet up their MP and tell him of his grouses, he must take them up. It's his duty .

13. He cannot condone illegal cultivation but if they tell him they are unreasonably treated , bullied, treated high handedly, racially abused, he needs to look up into these allegations.

14. Are we certain, they are the only ones at fault? As I said earlier, land of this size, cultivated for so long cannot have been going on for so long.

15. It's possible that governmental authorities that allowed this illegal cultivation are severally liable.

16. Punish the ah bengs but punish also the authorities that allowed these transgressions. There may be several.

17. The land office as of now can't even give the sultan a straight figure. 14k, 5k and 10k hectares. If we ask them 10 times, it's likely we get 10 different figures .

18. The NGO must also chase them out of Raub too .

19. Re enter the land under durian,oil palms, vegetables, mining, chicken rearing, goats and cattle, fish ponds, illegal settlements etc

20. If the government sees it fit, torch the vegetable farms, poison the fish, cut down the palm oil trees, cull the chickens goats and cattle, destroy illegal settlements including places of worship .

21. I saw a online news portal saying the sultan as saying, ' bangsa penceroboh ni tak boleh beri muka '. Wow!

22. Immediately I know this is not the language used by the sultan. When I was growing up in pekan and Kuantan( I know the sultan went to St Thomas school , I never hear the sultan ever using foul language to describe his subjects.

23. This business of using foul language and in ' owning' the sultan to achieve their own nefarious objectives must be the work of UMNO and it's UUCL- united UMNO Cyber Liars.

24. Then I saw a portal carrying a report about an ex army man(a born again Muslim wearing a kopiah) saying that we must build army camps on the hills. Those surrounding sungai Ruan and klau.

25. Wrong Tuan, build army or PFF camps surrounding the Raub land office or DFO office. Then shoo(t) whoever give and ask for bribes.

26. I have to ask another often ignored question. What to do, I am an unrepentant cynic .

27. The land, whatever its size , used for whatever economic endeavours, had to be cleared first, right?

28. Which means, the timber trees on the illegally alienated land, had to be cut. Who carted them off?

29. Could it then be, the extracted timber from the illegally alienated land be one of the sources of illegal logging that is rampant in pahang for many years?

30. If you sit at the warungs by the Raub district mosque, you can see a steady stream of lorries transporting the balak. Then you can speculate how many authorities are involved in the transportation of the logs .

31. The people who illegally alienated the same, never mind their race are definitely in the wrong . Take the appropriate legal actions on them.

32. But don't worsen the wrong by embellishing and augmenting it .

33. The district forestry office ought to know when the trees were cut. They ought to know even the types of timber and their value. They ought to know when the trees are to be taken out. Not doing what they are supposed to do is a dereliction of their duty.

34. The jpj is also responsible. They are the ones who set safety standards of transport and set the maximum safety load.

35. The municipal council is also responsible. They ensure the lorries are clean and the tyres don't dirty the roads.

36. The police in setting up road blocks should detain these lorries if they are in effect transporting contraband goods.

37. The logs are probably stored in some clandestine sawmills along the Raub lipis or raub bentong roads or in bentong or in other places .

38. It took some acts of nature in the form of serious flooding in west pahang to expose the shenanigans that were going on. Suddenly some people in bentong woke up to see logs strewn in their front yards

39. The carcass of an elephant cannot be covered by tiny leaves. A single wrong has mutated into several other wrongs.

40. This business of illegal logging has piqued my interest. Especially when I heard an ex tv3 editor is sued by the pahang government . Is the pahang government protecting wrongdoers and punishing conscientious rakyat?

41. I shall write about this illegal logging in Malay in my entirely all Malay blog. It's coming out soon!

The PKR tsunami from an unconventional perspective. Tales by an unknown blogger no 95

1. Lets assume that rafizi is back at work. We can also assume that in order to dispell any notions of political implosion, both Anwar and Rafizi think it better that things were amicably solved and it's important to show the public there's political stability.

2. There must have been vigorous horse trading. Among others , the PKR president agreed to an independent audit on the results of at least 190 cabangs. Rafizi on his part shouldn't be thinking of leaving the cabinet. And he should welcome any challenge to his party post

3. And I hope the things mentioned in points 7 and 8 in the previous article be earnestly carried out .

4. These are important to remind all, that this is a reformasi government. These are also vital for the political longevity of Nana Non himself.

5. As to challenges to his party post, Rafizi must not be seen as backing off from a fight. He is ready to take on all comers.

6. There is a real possibility that Saifuddin may mount a challenge. But I think he will enter the ring with several deficits. If he enters, that would make the charge of the light brigade seems a sensible decision.

7. As to others, notably the dark horse, nurulizzah, she's welcome to take on Raf.

8. She's got the smarts and correct public persona to take on Rafizi.

9. For anyone, the most important qualification, is that they must have the reformasi zeal. And as the by-election in air Kuning shows, the public wants inclusiveness, mutual racial respect, religious tolerance, shared prosperity. All these encapsulated in MADANI ideal.

10. People with no reformasi state of mind, followed by MADANI ideals have no business offering themselves for leadership positions.

11. The sponsors for nurulizzah as number 2 may have good intentions. But the idea is fraught with dangers. Thought of but discounted.

12. Giving discounts has become a bad habit lately. Redza Aziz got discount, wak 47 got, the Sabah tyt got, many UMNO crooks got theirs. Giving discount to the idea of nurulizzah as number 2, is no big deal.

13. But the people behind nurulizzah may rue the day they hatched the idea. It may be a case of sokong membawa rebah .

14. Right off the bat, there are 2 dangers. Dynastic pretensions and perceptions of nepotism.

15. If any dynastic pretensions were roundly condemned in the DAP, they should also in PKR.

16. Less dangerous I think are the perceptions of nepotism . I can't just accept the idea of nepotism because as I said izzah has the smarts and public persona. When lky designated hsien loong as pm, we can't just accept the idea of nepotism because hsien loong was qualified. But what we think is less important that what the Malaysian public perceived.

17. What Rafizi must do , is to show that he is steadfast and the true north of reformasi. That will be difficult to beat

The PKR tsunami from an unconventional perspective. Tales by an unknown blogger no 94

1. Those who call him a sotong of a character and those who readily subscribe to that idea, formed that deragotary idea some 25 years ago.

2. Since then Rafizi has metamorphose into a mature politician and a sophisticated strategist. The hallmarks of an intelligent person.

3. While those who get stucked with the sotong opinion lived in the past and have not developed as intelligent persons. Hallmarks of mentally retarded people. Up to you which type to follow

4. Not sure whether Rafizi has actually resigned. He has only told his supporters he wants to.

5. If he is just testing the waters, he is waiting for Anwar to gently persuade him.

6 . If it comes to that, it's time for Rafizi to play realpolitik.

7. He could ask for instance the replacement of the thuggish and not so clever Saifuddin. He could ask for the replacement of tortoise Azam Baki.

8. He could ask for the rescinding of the promise of 1b to sapura. He could ask for the forgiving of ptptn loan. The reduction of petroleum prices. He could ask for refusing to entertain the bs of UMNO, Najib and Ismail. Unleash a reign of terror on UMNO crooks.

9. That, if he is considered a valuable asset to PKR. If he is not, he can jump into the Gombak River. Where the river of life project has produced nothing .

10. If he isn't, then Rafizi will painfully realize that the PKR of now, sans reformasi is betrayed. The new crooks are taking over.

11. Reformasi are just slogan shouts at gatherings and Anwar screaming penyakau here and there are just mere verbiage and verbal vomits.

12. The PKR people has become what Franz fanon warned us, the oppressed becomes the oppressor, the robbed becomes greedier thieves. In more modern times, what Milton Friedman observed becomes true.

13. 'almost always the good intentions of the sponsors, produced results exactly opposite what the sponsors intended to'.

14. In the PKR of now, Rafizi will realize that he is not dispensable. The sky does not fall down if Rafizi resigns as economy minister. Others will come forward and give Anvar Ebraheem, stupid advices.

15. The cabang elections is the last straw, the mic drop moment for Rafizi. Anwar has proven to be the better politician not shy to using underhand tactics, sly and crafty means , deception and using the darker arts to win. By any means necessary.

16. A point of extreme contention is the working of the committee overseeing PKR elections. It's viewed as a pliant tool at the behest of the president. Otherwise, why should Rafizi call for a forensic auditing to look into the elections?.

17. The PKR president must publicly agree to a forensic auditing. So as to dispell any notions of partiality.

18. Earlier on, I have said that Anwar is the better politician. In the sense he uses any means necessary to win . He becomes the effective leader

19. I said a better politician not a better person. As to that, let others judge Anwar.

20. It's just in the game of deception and intrigues, Anwar as the better politician, is one up on Rafizi.

21. We can't fault Anwar on that. He played the game better, by being sly, deceptive, not averse to using underhanded tactics and employing the ' darker arts' to win. To be a better politician.

22. In the 1st round, Anwar wins. That's all.

23. What then are the options opened to lapiji?( Forgive me, because I am DAPig, in my pidgin Malay, can only managed lapiji instead of Rafizi).

24. To me, Rafizi should not resign, if he actually has that idea. He should stay and fight to win the 2nd round.

25. He should regroup and restrategise to ensure as many people aligned to him win the top PKR leadership.

26. More importantly, he should be more Machiavellian in facing the coming challenge to his position by the thuggish and half witted Saifuddin nasushiyon.

27. He must be ready to be sly, deceptive, underhanded and not shy to use the darker arts. To win in the 2nd round.

28. I said half witted - haven't I said that the whole of Saifuddins body is only worth half of the late ghazali shafies brain?

29. Rafizi must be ready to laid bare the deficiencies of Saifuddin.

30. How Saifuddin blatantly lied to us that convict Najib is not given preferential treatment. How the streets of Malaysia are not safe- one can get slapped , assaulted or worse by self appointed emissaries of God. Or how he scandalizes the pm by his incompetent handling of the case involving his son. Other things which Rafizi may know which I don't.

31. Nothing personal, it's all business. Kill or be killed.

32. Some people are overjoyed to see that Rafizi, who serves the Anwar admistration , got Malaysia ranked 1 from 67 in a transparency of data submitted by Malaysia. The ranking was done by an international body. Malaysia is even ahead of Singapore. ( There seems to be a grudging respect for Singapore which Malaysia is too proud to admit)

33. That's nothing to shout about. Maybe it's because we started from a lower base. It means in the past, we submitted doctored and massaged data.

34. In past administrations, we scored -10 points. Under Rafizi we got a +20, so we have a + 10.point rank. Singapore scored 6 last time. Now 10. One started from a very low base, the other from an already high base.

35. Enter Rafizi. He tells the Malaysian stats dept, nothing doing. Give true data ,warts and all.

36. The true value of Rafizi is not in getting Malaysia ranked number 1 in data transparency, but in being an HONEST politician. Now, that's a rare distinction in Malaysian politics.

37. Suppose Rafizi decides to actually resign, because he no longer enjoys the confidence of the PKR president and a majority of the PKR people or horrors, he is asked to let go his position in favour of the hooded executioner, nasushiyon, then the honourable thing to is to leave the party

38. Yes, leave the party and formed an alternative party and contest in GE16.

39. Then, if Rafizi were to say bad things of Anwar and PKR, it would be difficult for the latter to debunk what Rafizi, a proven honest politician say of them, right?

40. It seems like Anwar has overplayed his hands and therefore must confront his nightmares. Then, it will be a situation of the chickens coming home to roost.
