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.

Reformasi state of mind and selected economic issues. Tales by an unknown blogger no. 93

1. I hope, we , especially the Malays don't trivialise theft and their variants like corruption etc.

2. I have heard this many times. If we don't steal, the Chinese and Indians will.

3. Why do we Malays like to justify our bad and immoral deeds, by referencing them to the imagined bad and immoral deeds of others?

4. Isn't the reverse is also true and can become a source of pride to us Malays? We can also say, can't we that if we are not clever and rich, the Nons will? That should inspire us to better ourselves shouldn't it?

5. It's because we didn't, we accept theft, corruption, embezzlement , conversion of illicit money, skimming off the top ,as normal. Kalau tak rasuah bukan bangsa melayu. Yang paling korap ialah melayu UMNO.

6. Theft is the mother of all crimes. It's the source from which all kinds of crime spring from. Murder is the form of theft most foul.

7. Suppose X murdered Y. He stole Y from the wife. He stole Y from the children. He stole Y from his friend.

8. See? Murder is a form of theft most foul.

9. Theft can mutate into several forms. The bigger the theft, the bigger the crimes that could be.

10. That's why theft must be punished as appropriately. The thief who stole powdered milk cannot be punished as severely as one who stole 2.6b. Right?

11. The cop who bombed Altantuya stole from the family. Even if she is a prostitute as claimed by many UMNO people, the cop stole from her clients who could otherwise enjoy her personalized services.

12. The man who stole 2.6b, deprived or stole from thousands or even millions if that 2.6b were appointed to a multiple of uses.

13. Suppose the uses include public housing, schools, hospitals , good public transport etc. but because the 2.6b is stolen from them, they are deprived of these benefits.

14. Are technicalities of the law more important than justice?

15. Are we to forget the mischief because of some genteel and bourgeois sense of fair play?

16. Let's now talk about some bad economic effects that can emanate from the absence of a reformasi state of mind.

17. Every other week, I hear the pm announcing some transfer payments. It reminds us of the BRIM payments initiated by the Najib administration.

18. That's the PM's version of easy money. His version of personalized quantitative easing.

19. That brief jubilation of recipients will eventually end up in agony. It's called inflation. Heard of it?

20. I sense the same lunacy behind nana Nons discretionary supply of money as when an MP suggested we print money as much as we want and as when as we want it. I want a session in the morning -printing la.

21. We have a printer in our home. Clad in sarong we start printing as and when and as much as we like.

22. Oh, what blissful days. Salad days and halcyon days.

23. That short thrill and orgasm will be replaced by inflation. Inflation is everywhere and anywhere, a monetary phenomenon la

24. When prices all around go up what do we do? We will first say, the government is lousy and we have an incompetent finance minister.

25. Then we will say, print some more. From the MOF, we hear, huloq lagi nana, huloq. What will happen then?

26. We all will be going to the pasar malam' with sacks of notes. We will have a Zimbabwean type of inflation.

27. Maybe people at the MOF and BN and others should be reading Friedman and Schwartz's monetary history of united states. Maybe some people should seriously read the K percent rule of money growth. To be continued.....sabar

Reading tea leaves and chicken entrails. Tales by an unknown blogger no 92.

1. Get ready for a macabre comparison . When Rajiv Gandhi was bombed, the Indian security forces scoured the grounds, looking for his brains. They couldn't find any .

2. There are 2 possibilities. Either the brain has vaporised or seeped into the ground. Or worse he's brainless.

3. Similarly UMNO which has no brains can't fathom what happened in Air Kuning. Except to jump up and down like monkeys and claimed they achieved victory on their own. Typical of umno-cocky from beginning to end.

4. When UMNO people read tea leaves , chicken entrails or looked though telescope wrapped in yellow cloth, they see only titah addendum and free the crook now residing at Kajang spa resort.

5. When they cut slices of lime over a bowl of water, their vision on what happened in Air Kuning, is blurred. Of course p. Ramlee will tell them, if they can't see anything ' alamat nak mampus'

6. The old UMNO residing in their vulgar and perverted versions of race religion and King is dead. So, puhleese, stay in your comfort zones.

7. Woit! This is a PH victory. UMNO couldn't have won without help from the PH OG .

8. UMNO can no longer claim that it has a monopoly on the Malay ground. Sure it got 11 thousand votes but in that process it lost 5000 Malay votes. UMNO now has a credible rival for raw Malay voice in bersatu.

9. Some UMNO divorcees believed that this growing deficit is the result of UMNO associating with the DAP.

10. This is most stupid and irrational observation. In the 15th GE, UMNO lost terribly without associating with DAP. So, how relevant is the stupid mental construct of UMdap?

11. But we won't talk about what UMNO must do. Their intelligent and not so intelligent people can figure things out. Plus they get plenty of advice from divorced sick UMNO people.

12. The messages coming from air Kuning are welcoming and good . They show there is political awareness, people becoming more rational and intelligent.

13. When these things happen, they produce an inverse relation in terms of support for UMNO and bersatu.

14. As people become more rational and politically aware, support for parties like UMNO, pas, bersatu will decline. Hopefully, this political awareness spread nationwide.

15. In air Kuning people are opting for inclusiveness, harmony, shared prosperity, reformasi, issues based politics and the like. Certainly no longer choosing extremism in various forms.

16. No UMNO-nised nationalism, religion or loyalty to King. UMNO will never understand these .

17. This is the 21st century. It's not the time where UMNO chiefs walk round with kris and pedangs asserting their will and willy. Now, the people assert their interests and they do not match UMNOs.

18. Prove us wrong. Let UMNO go solo in the next GE. Ada berani? Title.

Raub durian issue. More than something that meets the eye. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 91

1. We know the following. Some 14,000 plus hectares of land in Raub alone has been illegally cultivated. Raub alone or whole of Pahang? At 2. 47 acres to the hectares, thats around 35,000 acres.

2. If one Felda scheme is 5k acres, that's equivalent to 7 Felda schemes.

3. How could government land, the size of 5 Felda schemes cultivated illegally went on unnoticed by the Raub land office or relevant authorities?

4. On top of that, some 5k hectares plus of forest reserve were also illegally cultivated. That's about 13k acres .

5. Again we asked , how can land that size be worked on, unnoticed?

6. By the way, the MP for Raub is Chow Yu Hui, not Chow Koon Yew , ok? We don't want UMNO cyber mercenaries get confused, yes .

7. If you want to jerk, do it properly.

8. There's more than something that meets the eye. Sure, the sultan of Pahang spoke on this, twice. Some said murka.

9. Sure, his displeasure must surely be directed to the ah beng who grew musang king and other specie of durians

10. But it must also be true that his displeasure must also be directed at the government authorities for allowing such illegality to go on for a long time

11. Whether for durian, palm oil, fish ponds, poultry rearing, goat and cattle, mining, rubber etc, don't care destroy and exterminate semua

12. Destroy also illegal settlements , suraus, toh peh Kong and temples. Kill!

13. Not sure if MPs sit in mesyuarat penyelesaian tanah or not, ADUNS certainly do as land is a state matter. Why wasn't this land issue raised?

14. Yes, since 2013, Raub parliament has been under DAPig.

15. But the state government, under whose purview land matters are vested, has always been under UMNO.

16. So the people who are directly responsible for the Raub land is the government of Wan Rushdi and the Raub land office and other state departments.

17. Other departments include dfo, ptg, pejabat haiwan maybe, kerajaan tempatan and so on. Nothing involving the MP. 18. Some people's racist undertones are clearly evident, forgetting the fact that the state government is UMNO and the enforcement officers, are malays.

18. Total land area involved plus the encroached forest reserve is 20k hectares or around 50k acres or the size of say 10 felda schemes . That's 5000 people.

19. In theory, according to MACC and transparency international, the corruption worth of a person is 1600 per head, for 5000 people, protection money is 5000x 1600.

20. That's 8.0m a year . Mana itu Wang pigi?

21. If you stop all the lies, I will not say the truth.

22. Land area totaling that of 9 to 10 Felda schemes couldn't have happened without the complicity and conspiracy of government people .

23. The MB in particular, who has absolute control over land matters, has been negligent in this case.

24. So the harsh measures proposed against the many ah beng( there were many) should also be applied to the responsible government officials. The MB included. Ya kan?

O Reformasi, reformasi,wherefore art thou reformasi? Reformasi and the law. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 90.

O Reformasi, reformasi wherefore art thou reformasi

Deny thy father and refuse thy name

Or if thou wilt not be my sworn love

I will no longer be a reformasi

1. Reformasi is drowned by ubiquitous madani. It's like the Galapagos tortoise. Big, bulky and slow.

2. If it's still around, it's like the snow leopard. Shy and elusive. Or in more modern terms, it's on the respiratory system.

3. It uses a ventilator. Or a CPAP machine.

4. Perhaps it's in comatose state. In tambun or sungai long. Perhaps in lembah patai or kulim. Even in pandan.

5. Reformasi, if it's still alive must be applied in earnest. Strike while the iron is hot.

6. It cannot wait for the alignment of the planets. There's no right time. The time is now. Procrastination is indeed the thief of time.

7. Don't say reformasi must be taken step by step, slowly and deliberate. Those are just excuses. Excuse expands so as to fill up time, is a variant of parkinson's 1st law.

8. Nowhere is reformasi more shy, reticent, timid, timorous, passsilonimous , lily-livered than in it's application to the law. The law like that said by a philosopher, is like a spider's web. The big flies get through, the small ones get caught.

9. It makes us want to say, the law is an ass. ' the first thing we do, is to kill the lawyers and judges. I am saying that figuratively, ok?

10. Where is the freaking reformasi state of mind, in the case of the man who committed the grandaddy of all theft? Yes it's naked theft. You know how UMNO people love anything prefixed with naked, right?

11. Instead we see an almost subservient and reverential 'surrender' to overrated due process and procedural niceties.

12. Crooks like Najib, Ismail and others suddenly have rights that must be defended. What about the rights of victims at large?

13. Najib already a convict for instance, walks into court in bespoke suits not prison garb, courtesy of thuggish looking Saifuddin. He's probably enjoying his solo sojourn at the Kajang spa resort, complete with all the creature comforts. He's making a mockery of our judicial system all because some people think he has rights. Those ascribed rights are bourgeois in nature and overly genteel.

14. A reformasi state of mind would put a stop to all these charades.

15. I am not a lawyer, but I liked it when Lord Denning says, my brother judges are interested in the technicalities of the law..I am interested in justice.

All the president's men. Part 4. Tales by an unknown blogger. No. 89

1. Any PKR people aiming for leadership positions or ministerial posts, must be measured by his or her determination and zeal for reformasi..

2. That is what that elevates PKR to power and propels it forward. That is also the cement that binds its people, AMANAH and DAP. Looser with UMNO, the political whore.

3. If they don't have that zeal, then their transition to power is just wasteful. They become perhaps just better clones that the previous people.

4. They just impose their limitations on their portfolios - limited knowledge and experience.

5. Perhaps they become better - stealthier penyakau, authors of shady deals, leakers of contacts, open up tender documents and more terrible abusers .

6. That is how I judge the people now jostling for positions in the coming PKR national elections .

7. Are they good for business? If they aren't, then it's the delegates business to reject them.

8. If they don't make a business like decision, the decision of the voters in the next GE will be more terrible.

9. The PKR people don't take the absence of a reformasi state of mind lightly. It will also determine the political longevity of Nana Non.

10. This team think adds on to the other 2 factors on which anwars political longevity depends on.

11. Which are, him keeping the faith of people seeing him as a change agent and him fulfilling the many promises he made, no matter when.

12. And of course the team to carry the reformasi agenda through.

13. God knows, the faith of people in him as the change agent has taken a beating . In many instances, Anwar has adopted a perverted Voltaire sense of values .

14. For instance, in Najibs case, Anwar says he detests corruption and people know his stand, but he will defend convict Najibs right and entitlement of due process and to bullshit us of his innocence.

15. So while enjoying his sabbatical at Kajang spa resort, he merrily pokes fun at our judiciary by his filibustering ways.

16. That gives a new twist to parkinson's law- work expands so as to fill the time available to bullshit increases so as to fill the court time allowed .

17. In the case of Ismail sabri, Anwar seems to be saying, I know Ismail is guilty but will defend his right to weave a tangled web. ( Of deceit).

18. It's not for PKR people to say that reformasi is alive-the people will be the judge of that.

19. With the slogan of madani being ubiquitous, reformasi seems to be drowned.

20. In the context of absence of reformasi state of mind, the present minister of federal territories is a huge disappointment.

21. Her incompetence and zero reformasi state of mind , will become evident when we ask the question,so favoured by Anwar lately. When you were in power, why didn't you do it?

22. Yes ma'am, we will ask how did you use your authority when you had power? To carry out reformasi as much as possible or to carry on business as usual policies? No change but more of the same.

23. It's a new job description. Be a stealthier penyakau, authors of croocked deals, contracts leakers, opening up tender documents and power abusers.

24. Did she try to correct the wrongs in the moh? Did she launch an investigation as to why a pharmacy company rebottled and repackaged COVID vaccines and sold them to the then government at UMNOnised prices?

25. How much did Malaysia spend on the purchase of COVID vaccines? Is it true that we bought the vaccines at inflated or the usual UMNO nised prices?

26. What was the role of the minister of health then and the officials in moh and workers in the health care industry?.( Doctors, nurses etc). In the massive sleight of hand?

27. Do not use a mat Hasan sorry reason of an excuse. 'These things happened a long time ago,no use to unearth '

28. Did she try to make Malaysian health care industry as a medical tourism centre? The application of latest technologies? Sort out the contract doctors issue?

29. Did she Improve rural health care? Build hostels for nurses in rural areas? Build doctors housing in rural areas? Improve the health care industry in general?

30. She can't because she hasn't got the reformasi



state of mind? Or she's keener to make herself looked presentable .

31. She's now the FT minister. You know what people are saying about the FT ministry? It's an ATM machine for PKR people.

32. 2 years of being in power , brings out the character of the charlatans.

33. Some MBs, MPs and ADUNs are busy in making hay while it shines. Some are embroiled in controversial corporate deals, infrastructure deals, or commissioned agents or comprador capitalists.

34. The only way to save PKR, is to 'unchose' these people with sans reformasi state of mind.

35. And to chose talents currently outside and perhaps understand how Anwar thinks.

36. One such talent, is literally the Napoleonic character , shamsul iskandar now serving Anwar as head political secretary. The little man with the no nonsense attitude.

37. He has enough political acumen. Has been an MP, lost to wak 47 in Bagan latok and now serves Anwar as a major domo. He's in position to read Anwar like a book, unless of course like the average Malay, reads 2 pages of a book.

38. I would think he would be one good for business. His current political alignment is immaterial .it's save PKR that matters.

39. This malaccan lahabau deserves your support even as many people describe him as shorty or ketot. He does not think using his physical stature but his head . You know what they say about short people. They are indomitable and fearless .

40. Another person, good for business is Farhan Dato fauzi. He has served Anwar as secretary from pkrs office. It's a high probability that he reads Anwar well.

41. Of course, I cannot write off nurulizzah. She's the daughter of the new bossku. She knows Anwar inside out, perhaps less than Kak Wan. I think she's good for business.

42. I don't claim to be prescient in my assessment. But I have given reasons what's good and not good for business. It's up to you.

43. This business of reformasi is bigger than Anvar Ebraheem. It's our business to surround him with people with reformasi state of mind. Venceremos!

All the president's men. Part 3. Tales by an unknown blogger. No. 88

1. In case many of the PKR people forget, the main thrust of the party is reformasi. It is that propels the party forward .

2. The foremost is reformasi. It isn't just a slogan you get to shout at gatherings .

3. Madani came after. When you get power. Then you can shout about madani untill blue in the face

4. This government is first and foremost a reformasi government. The PKR people appointed as ministers and deputy ministers in particular must prefix and predicate all their policies to include reformasi agenda.

5. We don't want the PKR people be drunk and intoxicated with power. The edifying effects of being drunk with power can blunt the reformasi zeal.

6. I hope I am wrong; we don't want the PKR ministers think that because they are umbrella-protected and sheltered by brother Anwar, they can now do the excesses of the previous regimes. God forbid!

7. They become precisely the characters they once despised; the oppressed becomes the oppressor. They become what Franz fanon warned us. Instead of change , it's more of the same

8. The PKR people become stealthier penyakau, more skillful crooked business dealers, poker-faced contracts leakers and more adept abusers. They add to the estimated rm55b Malaysia loses to corruption yearly.

9. I call these people, the reformasi -less characters, people who actually don't know or have forgotten the meaning of reformasi . They deserved to be side stepped in the PKR elections .

10. Indeed, to these people, reformasi are just slogan shouts at gatherings. Out shouting the next fellow is a good show .

11. Let's see the characters who faked the reformasi agenda but in reality perpetuate the illusion of reformasi.

12. Their conduct will either fortify or dissipate the political longevity of Nana non. Yes, their conduct will contribute to Anwar being able to continue as PM or be a one trick pony .

13. We want them to always ask, where is the reformasi element to the agenda and program I am about to implement?

14. When the education minister saw a young man registering at a U carrying his belongings in a sack, she took pity on him and bought him bags .

15. That was very nice of her..she displayed the US democratic limousine liberalism caring for the unfortunates. Good show!

16. But that's hardly extraordinary. A more savvy UMNO politician would make it a more huge spectacle - for publicity purposes.

17. She's doing more of the same- upgrading schools, painting them, upgrading toilets etc- all money making schemes and enriching chosen lucky ones. 18. Phasing into a portfolio, means for some people opputunies to become more intelligent and stealthier penyakau, to carry out more crooked deals, contract leakers and power abusers.

19. Of course it's not the education minister - she's an honourable person. But we can't say the same about the Malay officers in the moe right? Where's there a 95% probability of them being corrupt kan?

20. But we ask, where is the freaking element of reformasi in all these? Certainly not in being a more intelligent and stealthier penyakau, authors of croocked deals, contact leakers and power abusers.

21..I am not going to be soft on females. You know females can be as voracious as males when it comes to money.

22. It would be better and reformasi if she addresses the falling standards of teaching.

23. When some Malay pricks fouled up pronunciation of both English and Malay terms, you know they are either stupid or worse, the standards of teaching have deteriorated.

24. That should be more of a concern to the education minister, rather than giving prominence to limousine liberal's pity for others ( often fake).

25. When people on social media start pronouncing dateline as dateleener, Malaysia gazette as Malaysia gazatay, Ng kor Meng as Angie Komen,Nasution as nasushiyon, DAP as da-arp, Malay words UMNO as oomno, peguambela where the 'bearla' becomes bela ayam dan kambing, you know the standard of teaching has gone south.

26. That should worry the education minister more than being concerned as to whether people see you as kind or not.

27. You are in power now,


why don't you do something about domestic brain drain that's going on unchecked. Doing something while in power is often the question asked by the PM. So do something reformasi.

28. Imagine students with really excellent results cannot enter faculties of their choosing. Because some bureaucrats somewhere decide the quota for type M is not enough while the quota for type non M is more than enough .

29. Eventually we as a society will lose our because our best talents are drained elsewhere because of some bureaucratic social and political constructs.

30. That, I put it to you my friends, constitutes domestic brain drain, I am talking about.

31. To do something more reformasi, if she is ballsy enough, is to remove race based quota for university entrance.

32. That policy may be relevant 20 years ago. Now it's not relevant. Malays ought to competitive and bold enough .

33. Why doesn't she make Arabic and mandarin languages compulsory up to forms 5 level? Arabic is the spiritual language for Muslims and learning mandarin signals recognition that china is the future. Don't listen to Malay supremacists in this

34. At the moment, the idiotic fave is to make the wearing of jalur gemilang stickers mandatory for students. That's hardly reformasi. Some suppliers will make money. Hopefully they get the jalur gemilang right. Or else, they too will get sin chew jit pohised.

35. Of course they will make more money making stickers with seductive picture of Rose Chan on them.

36. The education ministry is such an important one responsible for moulding the character of our children. It can I'll afford a limousine liberal helming it . It requires a person with a reformasi state of mind heading it.

To be continued.....

The Raub durian growers and the economics of corruption. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 87

1. It is reported that some 14000 hectares of land are illegally cultivated .

2. That's in Raub district.

3. It is equivalent to about 35000acres. If 1 Felda scheme is 5000 acres, that's equivalent to 7 Felda schemes.

4. If each person is allocated 10acres, we can settle in 3500 people

5. If that person were an ex serviceman,, then promises made by the late tun razak that servicemen be given land, can be fulfilled.

6. The 'value of corruption per person as calculated by macc and transparency international is about rm1600 per capita.

7. For 3500 people that would be 3500x1600, its 5.6 million a year.

8. Assuming that the illegal cultivation in Raub has taken place for 10 years , the 'value' of corruption is 56 million.

9. As pak Sako, a pahang man would say, WOW!

10. Mana itu Wang pergi? To the relevant officers of the Raub land office la.

11. Using the common sense and not easily disputed logic of the late tun hanif omar, there's a 95 % probability, that the officers are Malay.

12. What would the catfish mouthed UMNO politician recommend we do to these Malay officials,? Jail them? Shoot them? Rescind any honorific titles given them? Circumcise them a 2nd time?

13. Good God! I must now read Gary S Becker's the 'economics of corruption'.

14. The value of corruption varies directly with the average height of the durian trees. Title.

The durian growers in Raub. A different view. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 86 .

1. There is a public lynching state of mind about the durian cultivation on government land in Raub.

2. Almost all, save Kadir Jasin are saying, these Chinese growers deserved it. It's kill, baby kill.

3. Most of these opinion shapers , I suspect are just armchair analysts and critics . Throwing Molotov cocktail of opinions in the dark. To flare up the issue.

4. At least Kadir Jasin has been in Raub. I met him when I was campaigning in Raub.

5. The arguments for repossession of the land varied. They ranged from the swashbuckling types to the ones put up by self righteous eco warriors.

6. Some of these people are saying, take the lands back, the lands do not belong to the Chinese durian growers nor do they belonged to their grandfathers.

7. The Chinese growers are defiant, uncouth and disrespectful trespassers. Charge them and destroy their handiwork.

8. I will let you on a little secret. Illegal economic enterprises have been done and continue to be done by ALL races in Raub.

9. Chinese grow durians and oil palms. Hey the malays are doing the same; grow durians oil palms , vegetables and so on. They opened up ponds , rear free range chickens, rear cattle and goats.

10. Kelantaneses built settlements on government lands, opened up lands to grow durians, vegetables, bunga kantan and so on. They even built suraus on government land.

11. So if like what a little Napoleon of a Pahang official said, the government has got rights over its land -converted by slant eyed ah bengs, including the rights to cut down lulian trees, do the same to ALL.

12. Yes, cut down the durian trees but cut down too palm oil trees planted by malays in ulu atok, jeram besu, kampungs Gali, dong and ulu dong, in durian sebatang, jelu etc. burn all the vegetables. cull the chickens, goats and cows reared on government land, poison the fishes, bulldoze the illegal and non titled dwellings and most heroic of all, raze the suraus built illegally on government land.

13. So, open your bloody cow dung mouth and then see, what's supposed to come out from the rear end now comes out from the mouth!

14. Burn baby burn. Destroy baby destroy.

15. The self righteous eco warriors - who and what are they? Are they people who embrace trees and whisper sweet nothings to trees? Sheesh!

16. The only person whom I know who does that is sharifah Sabrina of the tanah aina fame. She will peluk trees, talk lovingly to them and maybe smooches them .

17. Therefore if people want to become real eco warriors, join her. Don't be seasonal or topical eco warriors. Being that farcical group just when the raub durian issue surfaced. Just when there's a big hoo-ha about illegal Chinese lulian growers in Raub came up, eh eh you are eco lovers .

18. The same sanctimonious bastards keep quiet when more damaging illegal logging take place in Raub for the past umpteen years

19. The illegal logging take place probably with the connivance and complicity of the Raub district forest department.

20. That brings us to the vicariously and severally liability of the raub land office. Circumcise the DO and SOs a second time .

21. The durian trees that we saw felled down, are of fruiting age. 5 to 10 years, right?

22. Which means that for 5 to 10 years or more, the land office did not take any corrective, remedial or enforcement actions.

23. If those measures were done intentionally, negligently or voluntarily, the land office is estopped from felling the trees.

24. In my opinion (mine only) any acts that provided the officers at tle the land office are removed because of their nonfeasance.

25. So, social media warriors, especially the Malay supremacist types, it's not a simple matter of bludgeoning the head of the Raub MP only .

26. Ask also, that those who decided to chop the durian trees be jailed for destruction of property.

27. The MP for Raub is doing what is expected of him. To defend the interests of people, maybe his supporters against the draconian and ill conceived measures of the Raub land office. He would do the same if it involves people from pamah kulat,pamah rawas, sungai pasu or ulu dong.

28. So, Mr chow Yu hui, do what is expected of you. All sane people and law abiding people, those not easily giving in to the mindless screams of Malay supremacists on social media,will support you.

29. I wouldn't give any credence at all to UMNO inspired opinions. There are several and I will comment on them briefly.

30 . I have already mentioned about the hubristic, look down attitude of a sorry excuse of a little Napoleon government official. Who said the government has rights. His opinion is just that of a hater and a hate opinion. He represents the group who just know how to destroy, not build. It's the master slave relationship in action . The coolies all have to listen to him because he has the tool of oppression.

31. There was this expected stupid statement from an equally stupid looking UMNO politician . He said because the ah bengs have made millions, take the land from them.

32. Ah ha that's how UMNO thinks, folks. It's envious of others who make money. Others work, they stay at home and procreate. UMNO would rather have a portion of the money be given to them for free. And protection money be gifted monthly to the stupid looking politician.

33. It's also hate speech, sour grapish and one tinged by racism. Anything that makes the Chinese stronger is a dagger or meat cleaver directed at malays. So, the Chinese growers must be shackled .

34. Then there was also this view from an uncle Tom MCA lass who said this isn't a racist issue. Sure ah Moy -keep saying this shit and MCA will be extinct in west pahang. It will also be an also ran party in pahang .

35. Lastly, I wonder if during fruiting seasons, basketfuls of choice lulians are sent to the DOs and SOs houses. Ang pows during festive seasons, paid for change of car tyres and paid for visits to massat centres in bentong or KL. Number 47 is good. Ipoh mali, kincing tatak munyi!

Look out for my all the president's men. Part 3

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

34. Have there been simulated emergency drills carried out?

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

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

37. Invigilate these instead of giving respectability to journalistic speculations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

28. So if you


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2. Sapura was reported to make 189m. Yaay

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The new comfort zone. Part 1. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 78

1. The old comfort zone in which umno excels consist of 2 main elements -

2.

• Play the race game
• Play the zero sum game .

3. The way forward, for parties like UMNO, pas, bersatu the people at the lunatic fringe shouting maniacally, people with brains where the wires are short fused, are to play up racial strife and hostilities and strife.

4. That's why people like mad cow akmal is at the forefront finding 1001 excuses to flare up racial strive. Maybe with the blessings of the java boss, he quarrels with the non malays. Mind you, that, not only offends the Nons but law abiding malays too. Quarrelling with different races is 2nd nature to UMNO. Yet there are still some pockets of people rooting in for UMNO. God have mercy on them!

5. Then, there's the zero sum game they play. One race can only prosper at the expense of another race. The Chinaman got richer and the malayman got poorer. Chinaman becomes the object of derision.

6. The 'games' of the old comfort zone are played by the antiquated minded political parties. UMNO,pas and bersatu will become increasingly irrelevant.

7. They will become so as people's political awareness becomes higher and sophisticated. Simplistic and populist narratives will be disputed

8. Well tuan, Elvis has left the building. We are no longer willing to play the games of the old comfort zone. The games of the new comfort zone will never be understood by the antiquated parties mentioned. Nor can it be understood by their lackeys on social media.

9. First we need a pragmatic leader and leadership for the country. A leader and leadership that focusses on results rather than one that marvel at theories. I know the PM knows about all that jazz about pragmatism, but I will say about it anyway.

10. Among other things, pragmatic leadership focuses on practicality and adaptability, is results oriented, decides on the basis of data, focuses on efficiency, takes ownership of problems and not blaming others, has great communication skills to explain its decision, balances short and long term goals and so on

11. I am not going to explain the above in greater details. Except I need to say something on the seemingly contagious CYA( cover your ass) syndrome. People are fond of saying, oh this has been done before by the previous admin,when they were in power apa bikin?

12. True! But now you are power, what are you going to do? Haven't you heard of the saying, 2 wrongs don't make a right?

13. First, we must WANT a pragmatic government giving us results, practical and realistic. A plural society with diverse ethnicity, religion , culture and language needs a pragmatic government .

14. Not for us parties selling us master race ideology and religious utopianism.

15. Then we need a good government. How do get one? A good government needs good people.

16. Good qualifications help. We want leaders who are knowledgeable, understand concepts, do not require repeated explanations.

17. Now more than ever, we need honest leaders who don't succumb easily to the edifying effects of power .

18. We need leaders who can retain their composure. Not easily ruffled, calm and collected. Not break under pressure and respond maniacally to the slightest of provocation.

19. Shell ( the oil company) has a way of identifying leaders. Lee kuan yew was said to follow it's method

20. It goes by the acronym HAIR. Helicopter view , analytical, imagination and realistic.

21. H is the ability to see the big picture rather than being restrained by parochial views. When Anwar decides to go ahead of building a mosque on a trespassed land but allow Hindus build a temple on another site, this is an example of a helicopter view.

22. The bigger picture is the importance to preserve social cohesion rather than cave in to demands of religious bigots

23. Preserving social cohesion is in the interest of the nation. It overrides group interest .

24. Decisions to be made must be data and facts driven. Decisions based on spontaneous gut reactions must be avoided. These are foundations of analysis.

25. By imagination, we don't mean mental frolics or cartoon like fantasies. It means being able to foresee the consequences of ones actions. Then you can be accountable to them .

25 (b). Being able to foresee the course of actions and able to foresee their consequences, must be referenced to realities. Are the course of actions and their consequences, can they be realistically implemented. For example, can affirmative policies be dismantled now given overzealous Malay protection of the policies?

26. These are features of a good government which are cornerstone of the new comfort zone . obviously old comfort zone parties dare not face them. As a result, by natural developments, they will become irrelevant. Say goodbye to them
