A potpourri of political faux pas. Sontoloyo series no 40.

1. This time I am writing about incidences which I regard as a potpourri of political faux pas.

2. In the sense of a series of tactless acts.

3. Which actually reflect the incompetence of their authors

4. Whose moronic idea was it to lock down kl city center for the forthcoming ASEAN summit?

5. The idea must have come from a person accustomed to controlling others.

6. The usual suspects for moronic ideas like that can come only from-umno people.

7. Only UMNO people enjoy controlling others. Gaslighting them most of the time.

8. That habit is now extended to measures of providing security blanket for the ASEAN luminaries.

9. Instead of lockdown of certain selective ares in the city, why not mobilise all security personnel and para security personnel?

10. Call in the police, the army, the RELA people, pemuda UMNO, pas's unit Amal, have all JPJ vehicles lined up the streets.

11. Yeah, burn the mosquito net to get rid of the mosquitoes.

12. It's the idiot's and the thicky's guide for security measures.

13. Those selected ares locked down are probably the most commercialized.

14. Has the idiot foreign minister calculated the economic loss from the lockdown? most likely not .

15 . Earlier on, we had the furor over the citizenship naturalization of the 7 footballers.

16. I have a few friends, all Malaysia born or have stayed in Malaysia for 30 years still waiting for their citizenship.

17. Unfortunately, they tak tahu score goals. They know how to make babies .

18. It would be interesting to have an impromptu interview with these 7 in BM! See, if they can mount up some decent BM

19. I hear they can execute vigorous mount ups in the bukit bintang-like areas .

20. The citizenship naturalization of the 7, may have inadvertently uncovered the submerged part of the iceberg.

21. It may inadvertently indicate the presence of a deep state within the home ministry.

22. I had reports alleging of a very lucrative business of the sale of not only naturalised citizenship but also of working permits for non Malaysians.

23. The frontline operations are carried out by operatives at the behest of the brethren of the deep state.

24. The deep state, as I mentioned in a number of articles I wrote about the rice problem and the MOA, refer to the collusion between the business mandarins and high government officials.

25. The deep state exists in all ministries. All KSUs are probably members of this brethren.

26. A business friend doing business with the government, said all KSUs are corrupt. Probably this is true

27. The high government officials pakat with the business mandarins to corner the lucrative businesses issued by the government.

28. The sale of naturalised citizenship and the issuance of working permits for foreign workers are probably included in this category.

29. That's where the whirlpool of corruption is .

30. To go after the big sharks for corruption, let's do a lifestyle and bank account audit on all these big government officials including members of the uniformed staff .

31. Then, they will know whether the sky is high or not.

32. The education minister seems to be always in the limelight - for the wrong reasons.

33. Aaw, please don't give me the sockeye salmon eye treatment.

34. I might be shaking in my sneakers. Others may suffer worse. They may experience their balls shrinking.

35 . Have some 'humanity' on us . Please be gentle, puan .

36. Long time ago, when mat taib was hounded by the press, Zahid told them to have some 'humanity' on him.

37. The education minister acted with pearl clutching horror at being blamed for the bad things happening in schools.

38. You know the expression pearl clutching, don't you?

39. Bad things like bullying, murder, rape and the latest, the fatal stabbing and mutilation of a school girl.

40. Schools are premises under the control of teachers. They owe a duty of care who enter the premises officially. Namely, pupils.

41. Teachers are responsible for them. Teachers are ultimately responsible for to the minister.

42. So blaming the minister ultimately, is justifiable.

43. The bad things are happening during school hours. No parents are involved. The responsibility is with teachers.

44. You cannot escape responsibility in moulding the character by saying it starts at home. Yes, but the moulding of character is more effective at schools

45. Because at school there is the authority figure with teachers as there is also peer environment.

46. That cannot be sufficiently and effectively provided for in homes .

47. There is now a very poorly done social media rehabilitation of the education minister.

48. Social media carry reports of teachers saying fadhlina is so far the 'best' education minister.

49. Is that fairy tale spinning or what? You ingat these fantasy stories can erase the incompetence of the minister?

50. Either there is huge spending on social media blitz or these people got the sockeye salmon eye treatment.

51. In the end, the PM must decide whether the sockeye salmon lady is a liability or an asset.

52. The test of a leader's intelligence is to look at the people surrounding him.

53. Not encouraging, my dear fellow.
