Anwar's realpolitik. Part 2. Sontoloyo series.

1. In a telling remark, the great economist Milton Friedman, made a remark along this line( I adjusted this way).

2. He said: almost always the good promises one makes, end up not done.

3. He famously said, the road to hell is paved with sound good promises.

4. The point is not to make promises but to carry them out

5. Most of us, at least speaking for myself, are and am not interested in hot air

6. Especially with Anwar. When he gets into the constipation mode, emphasizing strategic points in his rousing speech, most of us are sold.

7. Most of us leave believing the promises made presently, are already done yesterday.

8. Later we realized, we have been bamboozled.

9. We wait for the promises to be carried out but waiting for them is like watching for Godot, the character in the Samuel Beckett play .

10. So exasperating slow. We all listened jaw-dropped and in excited anticipation of Anwar's sensational promises.

11. Lowering the prices of groceries and fuels, elimination of ptptn tolls, weeding out and paraquat-ing corruption and abuse of power and instituting the much vaunted tata kelola .

12. All heart warming but admittedly, work in progress.

13. Nana Non has started on these and his efforts must be duly appreciated.

14. Reforms in these areas take time. They cannot be achieved overnight. Hey taking a piss takes time too.

15. Nana Non, the Hindi song belter, faces opposition from all corners.

16. Operational, from the bureaucratic mandarins, from the deep state and from the vested interests community.

17. Political -from the fascists like UMNO and the ecclesiastical warlords party and the right wing Malay supremacist fringe groups.
18. Perhaps because of his perceived lethargy and wrongly regarded as lackadaisical attitude, wak47 says Anwar so loved UMNO.

19. Yeah, tell Anwar, you loved him too and want to have his baby .

20. But nothing must distract Anwar from his fierce determination to carry out his promises.

21. Promises made, promise kept.

22. Your political longevity depends on it. Peduli sama UMNO and birds of the same bulu.

23. But there's one promise I wish Anwar says it explicitly. Hopefully he has it at the back of his head.

24. Which is to dismantle the structures, system and culture put in place by UMNO.

25. That's the whole idea of reformasi after all.

a

26. We are not interested in retaining the status quo, but in overthrowing it!
