The island of Dr Moreau.

1. A statement making its round in social media says Rafizi is a liability to his party and to the country.

2. As to being a liability to his party, that is none of my concern. That's a business of his party. 

3. The 2nd part of the statement is however our concern. This country belongs to all of us. Not to herr prof alone 

4. A person hiding behind objectivity and intellectual integrity has finally revealed his true self 

5. It's the reveal of the fascist mind that has been lurking in the background all this while. 

6. The 2nd part of the statement reminds us of what Kennedy once said. 

7. Ask not what the country can do for you but ask what you can do for the country. 

8. Big brother is talking. The country is the deity which must be obeyed absolutely.

9. It's the warden in charge of the inmates. 

10. It's the slave master cracking the whip on the slaves 

11. No critical thinking is allowed. That is subversive 

12. Just as Kennedy was the spokesman of the democrat dictatorship, professor Moreau is the spokesman for reformasi revisionism. 

13. The fascist in him doesn't want inconvenient questions as that will rock the boat and destabilize the country. 

14. He therefore repeats the tired revisionist excuse, reformasi takes time. 

15. We see the constant revelations and questioning by nyet nyet Rafizi as appropriate. 

16. They must be seen as correcting caveats which must be heeded . 

17. The one who must regarded as a liability is the one who wants to stop correcting caveats. 

18. The devil has the face of an angel. 

19. We must be more circumspect of a person hiding behind intellectual integrity. 

20. The pace of reformasi is only fast if it's not thought of carefully . It's not fast if thought of carefully. 

21 . You procrastinate carrying out full blown reformasi if you have too many historical baggage. 

22. You know the crooks and those who want to maintain the status quo personally . You are loath to take action against them 

23. So you come out with the fatherly admonition, reformasi takes time. 

24. Most regrettable of all, is the fact that an intellectual fears and is unable to ' manage' inconvenient questions. 

25. You have been hiding your intellectual fascism all this while . That you really cannot tolerate counter views other than your own 

26. Shameful of all, you want to stop critical thinking by saying that it's a liability to the country. 

27. That's intellectual chicanery. 

28. You should be defending the charter of the free man. 

29. The freeman with the independently minded mind refuses to be coerced by others especially by those hiding behind intellectual stature. 

30. So despite the seemingly intellectual and neutral assertions of prof Moreau, I charge you comrade nyet nyet Rafizi to continue in your own intellectual crusade 

31. Professor Moreau is the spokesman of the revisionists after all. 

32. Suddenly Dr Moreau has been able to recruit a number of second rate intellectual zombies also wanting to stifle ' diva' independent thinking 

33. Our country has many intellectual cowards hiding behind the blanket of reformasi. They ex are the intellectual Frankenstein's created by Dr Moreau.

Governing the state. Selangor under the current MB.

1. In one by election, Azmin Ali a leader of bersatu, trivialized the role played by the current MB of Selangor.

2. He pompously declared that Amirrudin Shaari, the current MB, was his boy.

3. Implying his boy, couldn't surpass him as the master in terms of achievements.

4. That was quite conceited and patronizing of the bersatu leader.

5. Azmin hasn't heard of the expression the water level rises above the spring.

6. The present Selangor MB may once be Azmin's prodigy, his supporter all, but that was before, generalissimo.

7. He is now his own person. The current MB could achieve greater achievements than the 'master'.

8. Take employment for example. An important macroeconomic indicator.

9. According to reports by the dept. of stats report , (labour force survey report)labour force participation rate was highest in Selangor for 2022.

10. Up to September 2025, Selangor has created 43,000 new jobs , the highest in Malaysia

11. From the data by DOSM, investment into Selangor reached RM83 billion which by end 2025, 50,000 jobs would be created.

12. Most of us will find these conventional economic measurements as dry, and possibly so.

13. As a result they pay scant attention to dry economic data .

14. Preferring to dig at controversial issues which could hurt the MB and eclipsed his otherwise sterling achievements.

15 . 2 issues presented themselves to these alarmists. The pig rearing and Indiscriminate destruction of hindu temples issues ,mostly in Selangor.

16. As to the pig rearing issue,can any party defy the sultan of Selangor?

17. So why must some of us, goad the MB into defying the sultan?

18. It would be a case of fools rush in where angels fear to tread .

19. And the MB is certainly no fool to put his head under the guillotine.

20. Destruction of hindu temples, religious symbols of non Islamic faiths, is unconscionable and most reprehensible. On fake and vulgar religious reasons

21. How do we reconcile the claim that Islam is the religion of peace with the present repressive and terror deeds?

22. While the federal government is taking action against this religious extremism, the MB as head of security of the state must apply the full force of the law against any religious extremism.

23. Beyond the conventional performance indicators with which we are already familiar with I would like data on the following.

24. A year to date data on public housing. How many housing estates for the B40 and how many units.

25. Data on this, would indicate the government cares for the less fortunate .

26. Data and information on public health in terms of the number of health facilities, would be a useful barometer.

27. Data on the number of educational facilities is another important measure

28. I would to also know the total acreage committed to food production and agricultural pursuits.

29. There must also be a current register of all religious institutions. So that the government can curb religious extremism and stop any paedophile activities

30. There are other indicators that the man in the chair finds useful..

31. With these in his hand, I have no doubt that the present MB can rise above his patronizing master.

One swallow does not a summer make.

1. You know what the fascist minded Malays want.

2. The cerebral sloths want everything given to them irrespective of whether they are qualified or not

3. They insist and demand they are entitled to what life has got to offer itself.

4. Government posts, economic benefits, college placements, land etc.

5. They despised competition and equal treatment.

6. If a Malay commits a crime they expect favoured treatment .

7. Pardon, house arrest, forgiven. etc

8. But the lumpenproletariat forget that these privileges accrue to neo feudals and the Malay bourgeoisie.

9. The lumpenproletariat are showcase objects.

9b. Living in squalid flats, unhealthy tenements, refusing to change status quo etc.

10. Happy in being brainwashed into believing their corrupted leaders are protecting them

11. Hence their instinctive opposition to things like URA, UEC, PBT elections, equal and competitive treatment.

12. As to the claim their leaders are protecting them?: they forget the warning given by Zaaba almost a century ago, that the people who most oppress the Malays are the Malay leaders.

13. The leaders claiming they are most Malay and are fighting for their entitled life are UMNO leaders.

14. So you can be sure that those who opposed URA, PBT elections, equal treatment are UMNO lackeys

15. Meanwhile the social media terrorists, the cyber terrorists still at the stage of finding relief from Mrs Palmer and her 5 beautiful daughters are writing rosy pictures of UMNO.

16. The return of 1 KJ is hailed as kiambang bertaut. Hishamuddin never left UMNO and so did Ismail sabri

17. The return of KJ is the swallow that make not the summer.

18. UMNO remains irrelevant. Let's ensure the viper does not return.

19. Show 2 fingers at those who write glowingly about UMNO.

The irreconcilable Zaaba and UMNO route of Malay salvation . Part 2.

2. This is the book I have. It was published by UM and is 110 pages long

3. Let me state now, the UMNO way of Malay salvation . This is where differ fundamentally.

4. The great tun Razak created the NEP which gave rise to Malay economic monopoly. It was later morphed into carte blanche corruption by Dr Hans Mengele Mahathir.

5. The UMNO way is built on the culture of carte blanche corruption, entitlements and a never ending slew of affirmative policies.

6. There you have it , the Zaaba and the UMNO way .

7. The Zaaba method: culture of meritocracy, cultivation of intrinsic competencies, compete on a level playing field, no affirmative policies, no corruption.

8. The UMNO ways is diametrically opposed to the Zaaba way.

9. The saving grace for UMNO, is it's conceited claim, that UMNO is Malay.

10. Whereas in fact, UMNO is just a political party representing a fraction of Malays .

11. The sad irony is, the policies of UMNO are shaped by its neo feudal leaders.

12. Zaaba warned us, that the group who most oppressed Malays are leaders of their own kind .

13. I pity the ordinary Malay UMNO members. In the main they are just innocent digits, gentle people who are deceived that UMNO is protecting them . God have mercy on them.

14. It's the UMNO of my grandparents, aunties and uncles seeking safety in numbers .

15. The Zaaba and the UMNO way is inherently irreconcilable. That is also my opposition to the UMNO way. I hope more Malays will now adopt the Zaaba way.

Selangor under the watch of the present MB.

1. Sure, many of us, including Muslims like I, are angry at the ban in pig rearing and the rampant destruction of hindu temples.2 . We Muslims do not eat pork but we can't stop those who do
3. The presence of Hindu temples does not diminish our Islamic faith nor do Hindus stop us from carrying out our Islamic activities
4. The ban in pig rearing will cause pork eaters to find ways for them to get pork.
5. Perhaps the government has not yet announced appropriate measures against religious zealots who take the law in their own hands.
6. But don't use these particular incidents as generalization of badness that make us forget the overall good governance of the Selangor MB
7. Let us not take away the many credits due to the administration of the MB of Selangor.
8. In particular don't regard these indiscretions as deliberately done to alienate Chinese and Indian votes
9. Instead , with cooler heads let us look at the numbers as these don't lie.
10. At end 2024, selangors GDP was 430 billion . It remains Malaysians economic powerhouse
11. The pont is, it didn't become that because of fortuitous events or because of purely divine Providence
12. It must also be due to the adept management of the Selangor government under the MB.
13. In ensuring pragmatic policies that facilitate economic actors
14. As reported, in 2024, selangors GDP was 430 billion, contributing 16% of Malaysians GDP.
15. It's growth rate is over 6% which is above the national average
16. The state recorded total approved investments of 100billion and it's manufacturing output is almost 33% of national manufacturing output
17. Let's not forget that it's per Capita GDP in 1024 is almost RM66,000.

18. In our haste to downplay the economic management of the mb, we forget these things
19. Sure as I said, we have reasons to be angry over a few particular insensitivities, but let's look at the big picture.
20. The Selangor government isnt ignoring the pig rearing and Indiscriminate destruction of hindu temples.
21. It values non Malay support. The only party which doesn't is UMNO.

The socio-political ideas of Zaaba. Part 1.

1. Let me start by saying where I differ from UMNO's approach 2. As regard the way forward for the malays . This is a fundamental difference 3. My way is the zaaba way after pendita zaaba. 

4 . That chap from batu kikir NS. 

Batu kikir jambotan bosi. 

Masak gulai sebelango C

ubo lah warih pikir dalam ati 

Den dah lamo babini tigo 

6. Sung by many pas stalwarts who are eager to marry 1 more . 

7. The zaaba way:- develop own competences, cultivate success values within self, compete with others on level playing field, no institutional protection, privileges or affirmative policies. Certainly no entitlements 

8. I became acquainted with the seminal ideas of Zaaba, after reading prof. Ungku Aziz's book,'Jejak2 di pantai zaman'. 

9. Later, I got my hands on many books on zaaba as possible. 

10. In UM, the 3rd college is also known as kolej Zaaba. 

11. Zaaba is better known as a literary figure. Less well known was his ideas on Malay socio-political growth 

12. Zaaba is quite a remarkable man. He was among the earliest graduate of SITC, regarded then as the hotbed of Malay intellectualism and dare I say, Malay radicalism 

13. In his early 20s he had already begun writing on a number of issues. At an early age too, he had a superb command of the English language. 

14. At that early age, he was already acquainted with writings of literary figures like Longfellow and others.

15. Ungku Aziz's book 'Jejak-jejak di pantai zaman' ought to be a required reading at 6th form. 

16. In part 2, I shall expand on Zaabas ideas 

17. It's not for nothing, he was given the title pendita or sage by the government of tun Razak.

The albatross around the PMs neck.

1. I wrote the piece on RCI because I don't want it to be a liability to the PM .

2. For pragmatic reasons and for his longevity as PM, ditch notorious Azam Baki. 

3. That fellow is not worth protecting if doing so, jeopardizes the PMship 

4. The priority is for Anwar to be PM for a 2nd term to carry out as much reformasi as he can 

5 . Further reformasi is for others to continue. 

6. But at the moment, work in progress reformasi is in gridlock because of Azam Baki. 

7. The PM has allowed many red herrings to be created to distract our attention on Azam Baki sharegate and corporate mafia issues.

8. The sharegate and the corporate mafia issues can only come light fully, with the formation of an RCI which DAP is pressing. 

9. Now that DAPs request for an RCI has been crowded out by some political manufactures, DAP must be wondering whether Anwar is for real? 

10. Suddenly some issues whose veracity is suspect have overwhelmed the need for an RCI 

11. We are asked to be horrified and exceedingly alarmed with 2 issues 

12.1st is the allegations that our country is under attack by books and social media narratives supported by Zionists . 

13. Anwar has touched the most sensitive part. Mention the word Zionists and the Malays especially will suffer non compos mentis. 

14. Malay men will spring up forgetting their pants, sarong and underwear . 

15. Malay women will rush out minus their sarongs and undergarments. 

16. The story about wealthy people here enlisting help from PR firms abroad is so far fetched. It is as said by the lady , laughable. 

17. This is political gaslighting of the highest order. 

18. Please PM sir, stop this madness. It's damaging you. 

19. The other issue which I think is bizarre and linked to an equally bizarre pursuit, is the unproductive manhunt of James bond chai . 

20. If sprm can go to Saudi Arabia in verifying najibs story , why can't they go to UK? 

21. That would also give the more virile sprm people a chance to go to Londons seedy places in west end. 

22. Combined, these 2 issues only distract us from looking closer into the sharegate and corporate mafia issues. 

23. The 2 issues connected to Azam and sprm is like a dead albatross hanging around you neck. 

24. Please Mr PM sir, unload Azam. 

25. I don't want to write further on this issue and I can't speculate the actions DAP takes 

26. Your PMship is more important than shielding notorious Azam.

Where is Carmen san Diego becomes where is the wretched RCI.

1. I want to know what happened to DAPs demand for RCI? On the corporate mafia thing.

2. I want it to be widened on the whole 9 yards of Bloomberg reports. 

3. Since when the inquiry was asked on a specific subject, the government is playing footsie,ok let's widen the scope. Let's inquire into the whole blooming Bloomberg reports.. 

4. Footsie not as in sexual teasing but rather nudging the foot asking the other party to forget about the RCI. 

5. That's what probably happened. Someone nudged DAPs leg saying don't bring out the RCI matter as we are facing a more dangerous issue - somebody planning to topple the government with dreaded Zionists help . 

6. The grave danger is someone inside the country working with PR firm in UK or USA will swamp our country with books and social media narratives discrediting Malaysia. 

7. Yucks, suddenly Malaysia has become ' egg shell' becomes so vulnerable, it can't defend itself against these literary onslaughts. 

8. People thought there are tanks in chow Kit road, armed militia storming the Bastille in putrajaya. 

9. Anyway, the imminent toppling of the government is painted as so ominous that it crowds out DAPs demand for RCI. 

10. Azam Baki and sprm get a politically supported reprieve. 

11. The thunder, as it were behind the RCI demands beginning with ramkarpal, other DAP heavyweights including Gobind Singh, was taken out. 

12. The RCI issue, went limped like a dick which has completed it's glorious duty 

13. On that day, DAP must has felt like a cat after being doused with a bucket of cold water. 

14. The short of it is, DAP is not treated with respect it deserves . 

15. Its request for a very serious issue was cavalierly crowded out by a politically manufactured story which nobody believes . 

16. Which I think fortifies DAPs resolve to eventually being NOT part of PH. 

17. DAP has suddenly gone eerily quiet and that is disturbing. 

18. That's my take only, it may not be correct. Have no fear, have a kit kat!

Some initial thoughts on PKRs videorama.

1. Rafizi has done untold damages towards PKR. Many of us are puzzled as to why PKR has not expelled him .

2. This lead people to believe that PKR has no testicular fortitude to do that .

3. Or in this case, no vaginal fortitude.

4. Many who have watched the many podcasts and vlogs Rafizi made, know he has crossed the Rubicon.

5. So, it really surprised us that PKR hasn't released the guillotine on Rafizi.

6. Whereas on 16 other lesser known PKR renegades, PKR has filed court papers .

7. This reluctance of PKR to ax Rafizi has only elevated his prominence

8. People now believe that PKR sees Rafizi as indispensable.

9. PKR is horrified that if Rafizi leaves , other formidable PKR luminaries will also.

10. It cannot afford the hemorrhage.

11. So, PKR does what it only can issue face saving statements.

12. It says, unconvincingly, that Rafizi hasn't breached any party rules.

13. That's only a palliative and self delusional.

14. That indefinite and hazy answer will only make Rafizi more belligerent.

15. PKR will do more crazy things.

16. Like.unleashing it's hordes of cyber terrorists to discredit Rafizi. Like producing an AI generated video of Rafizi talking with toh puan naemah presumably about toppling the government.

17. Didn't it occur to anyone, the episode of them talking would require someone recording it?

18. That would mean either of them are so daft to have someone record their playacting. Sheesh!

19. It makes people believe that video was produced by not so clever people who are interested to be paid off.

20. It will make the public poohed poohed the garbage and make them think PKR is desperate and panicking.

21. It will only make Rafizi more credible and PKR less believable.

Rafizi is the man our country needs

1. I will ignore all the ad hominem attacks against Rafizi. He's the nyet nyet fellow lah. These are not arguments, just condiments to a speech.

2. He's definitely the man Malaysia needs-after Anwar.

3. According to Machiavelli, a man not read by many Malaysians, the 1st method to estimate the intelligence of a leader is to look at the quality of people he has around him.

4. It is a testament to his own cerebral prowess that he is able to attract a coterie of very talented people.

5. He downplays his own intelligence. He says he benefits more from the brainy team than they from him.

6. But I must quickly add , he's not chopped liver quality either.

7. He's very intelligent, sharp and very articulate. He speaks in unhurried Malay and English.

8. His only blemish is perhaps, he went to school at MC gay gay.

9. The other thing I find discomforting is his proclivity to commit on everything under the sky in many u tube programs and podcasts.

10. That may cause mental fatigue in some and increases revulsion and envy among his detractors.

11 . We just can't say the people surrounding Rafizi are above average with saying more about them

12. Dr Azrai is, I believe a medical doctor who graduated from uni Cambridge with a 1st class degree. He also has a diploma from university of London.

13. Then there's James 'Bond ' chai, a Chinese guy who recently gained fame or notoriety, depending on how you look at it.

14. This chap is a 1st class graduate in law from university of London and a masters degree from oxford.

15. Benjamin quek is is graduate in finance from Monash university and earned a masters degree from John Hopkins university in computational maths, I think.

I6. Ismat Qaiyyum graduated with 1st class degree in PPE from LSE.

17 . Haqimi zamri is a graduate from Robinhoods county, university of Nottingham, famous for lace making.

18. Compared to people surrounding anvar ebraheem, is like comparing a thoroughbred to a Shetland horse pulling a milkcart

19. Or patrician intellectuals to plebeian book readers.

20 . Rafizis expose' of many corruption scandals is legendary.

21. That shows his utter contempt of corruption and abuse of power

22. Rafizis recent speech in parliament regarding the much acclaimed good governance of the budget, shows this man is sharp mentally.

23. If we include tax refund arrears as revenue, we get a spurious deficit.

24. And if we have a sizeable tax refund arrears at the end of the year then the claim of good tata kelola is BS right?

25. Prompting me to put forward my own K percent rule on deficit and tax refund arrears .

26. I don't think many MPs have any inkling of what Rafizi is nyet nyeting about.

27. Whether you like him or not, Rafizi is the next PM we need after Anwar Ibrahim

28. I felt compelled to write this article to counter balance the unholy alliance of cyber terrorists socking Rafizi, with his hands tied.

Staying within the guard rails. Reminding a PM. No 4. The political longevity of a PM.

1. Today again, I am writing on the subject of political longevity.

2. The longevity of the PM as PM. What are the main factors the PM must take cognizant of. 

3. The great lky mentioned 2 determinants. 

4. Keeping the faith of people in him as the man he says he is. A reformist 

5. Keeping the promises made. 

6. I tumpang 2 factors. He must have a team of like-minded people 

7. Which means these people must have the reformasi state of mind. 

8. He himself must have the unshakeable resolve and determination to carry out to topple the status quo. 

9. The first thing the PM must realise is that he didn't inherit power from UMNO. 

10. He got power through blood sweat and tears by how efforts and WITH help from loyal friends DAP and AMANAH. 

11. UMNO and others are fair weathered friends. You don't invite this kind of people to share power with you 

12. You are giving it time and space to regroup and plot. 

13. The PM must move quickly to show who's boss. There's a new sheriff in town with new terms 

14. He must move rapidly to consolidate his power. He must provide power to his trusted and tried allies. At the same time take every opportunity to weaken UMNO. 

14( b). Ignore the whiners on social media or from UMNO. Do what you must do. 

15. There's a recent opportunity to demonstrate you want to depart from the business as usual ways. 

16. The appointment of Hannah Yeoh as FT minister, signals you want change. 

17. You sir, are not asking permission and validation from the noise makers to make changes. 

18. These people from UMNO, pas , Malay supremacists, fringe groups crying over our dead bodies and people saying Malay interests are in danger and now, it's a mistake to give this position to a Chinese and DAP --ignore these nay sayers. 

19. You must now say the FT minister has your full confidence, support and trust. 

20. You sir, must tell the world, you are getting support and validation from Malaysians who are greater in number from the vocal nay sayers with vested, parochial and racist interests. 

21. The appointment of people like mat sabu, Dr Zulkifli, Hannah, Govind, nga, Steven, is bold 

22. Boldness makes people follow you. Hesitation and vacillation allow your enemies to regroup and people doubting you. 

23. If you act this way, people have faith in you as a reformist.

Staying within the guard rails. Reminding a PM. No 3. Religious extremism and the destruction of their symbols.

1. Hindus will remember that under Anwar and PKR, Hindu temples get demolished .

2 . To add salt to the wound, Muslim zealots took the law in their hands and demolished temples instead of PBT people doing it. 

3. The government does not punish them, giving the impression, it condones their actions 

4 . What if suraus were built on government trespassed land? 

5. Can we call them surau Haram and have them demolished? 

6 . I asked this question not to offend Muslim brothers, but as MP for Raub once, I have prayed at several of this type of suraus built on trespassed government land. 

7. I think Malay Muslims of the old school understood the Quranic injunction in surah Al kafirun, bagi kamu agama kamu, bagi kami agama kami. 

8. Among other things -there is religious tolerance, each religious believer is responsible for his own religious beliefs, we don't exchange our religious beliefs . 

9 . Nowadays I don't know that being a Muslim must necessarily include militant urges, kill and destroy, murderous urges, predatory urges etc 

10. It's not enough being a Muslim but must assert his presence and dominance by destroying the religious symbols of others. Kovils, temples , others. 

11. This brand of religious terrorism preached by Muslim converts, appear to appeal to younger and hot headed youngs. 

12. That's a bitter irony isn't it? The young are attracted to these fiery preachers, eschewing calm and collected preachers. 

13 . The government must never countenanced vengeful religious actions that only cause and exacerbate religious tensions. 

14. Like the PM said, tangkap dan humban mereka kedalam Jel. 

15. Hear that Saifuddin nasushiyon? 

16. Take firm action against all religious extremism. 

17. Religious tolerance is essential for harmonious social cohesion 

18. Does it stop you from carrying Islamic religious duties, turn you apostate or make you blasphemous? 

19. Poor indians pray at kuils bult so so in estates and in jungle clearings. 

20. They practised their faith and strive to become good people . 

21. We malays who are Muslims tolerated them because we stand by the principle of their religion is their business 

22. If their religion teaches them to be good persons, why should we Muslims discourage them?, 

23. If it's a matter of the kovils being built on trespassed land, then it is a duty of the land office to find an alternative site 

24. You can't extinguish the faith of others by demolishing the symbols of their faith because you are responding to some bigoted preaching. 

25. So Mr PM sir, don't countenance the demands of these religious deranged people. 

26. Why don't they try to win elections on extremism tickets?

Staying within the guard rails. Reminding a PM. No 2. Wag the dog tale and Malay extremism.

1. The anwaritas better be mindful of the 16-17 point drop in approval rating. It can drop further because of a number of things.

2. The main current issues are the ban in pig rearing in Selangor, the mindless demolition of Hindu temples and unpunished Muslim zealots destroying the temples, the Azam Baki sharegate and the incredible story about toppling the government. 

3. Mr PM sir, please stop kerja-kerja gila ni lest you lose all credibility. 

4. Have we reached a state like a Kim Jong Un state? 

5. Where a mere thought of opposing the government constitutes a crime? 

6. The answer given by the PM on a question regarding this in parliament is halting and seems unsure. 

7. He keeps looking for notes to make his answer seemed credible, but it's a buying time strategy to give a BS answer 

8. He is fluid only when asserting the plot is driven because the people behind the plot is investigated by good ol' SPRM 

9. Which means that his own answer is driven by the need to protect Azam Baki and sprm. 

10. Why should we believe SPRM? SPRM lied saying the money stole by a certain kleptocrat was a donation from camel riders , 

11. Which means SPRM can always work In cahoots with certain parties to do political opponents in. 

12 . I have written that for the sake of his longevity as PM, jettison off notorious Azam Baki. 

13. Instead the speaker, the young man who has just passed the stage of being entertained by Mrs Palmer and her 5 beautiful daughters and now the PM appear to be overprotective of Azam Baki. 

14. Which makes people ask what's so special about this Azam bloke or worse makes people suspect erroneously, that the PM is as corrupt as Red Lips. 

15. Here's the clincher -the PM says, Zionists are behind the plot to topple the government. 

16. That's the PMs tour de force . Nothing rattles the Muslim zealots more than saying something is linked to Zionism 

17. I have written about why some losers employ the ad hominem fallacy and tu quoque fallacy argument. 

18. It's because they couldn't come up with substantive arguments to out argue their opponents, that they resort to these fallacies. 

19 . I can't believe the PM using this populist but cheapskate argument against doubters. 

20. The man with the legendary oratory skills, the man who can call the birds in the sky perch on his hands to feed, the man who can turn saltwater into drinkable water, the man who can make Michelle Yeoh strip Infront of him , will resort to this cheapskate argument . 

21. As an aside, I can't resist this:- The Perak PAS buffoon will say Michelle Yeoh is related to Hannah Yeoh. The MP who has a fetish over a wear nothing siputeh MP, will invite a bikini clad Michelle Yeoh to dine at his place , ignoring his level of English is at the level of I want to song a sing. 

22. The PM is too great to use the Zionism thing as his coup de grace. He should allow knuckleheads like Saifuddin, Fahmi, sock eye Salmon Fadlina use this blasé' argument. 

23. Please sir, stop this madness as many people this story about a group wanting to topple the government, an incredulous tale . 

24. This government can't be that fragile that it fears narratives over the social media and a book project criticizing it . 

25. You have oberleutenant Fahmi and majar domo Saifuddin to deal with the alleged plot . 

26. Don't dance to the tune of the Malay and Muslim extremists. Your Madani unity society is at risk because of these vagabonds . 

27. The Chinese will remember that it's under PKR watch, the ban in pig rearing in Selangor takes place. 

28. In denying the Chinese in all things actually, Malay extremists have a ready one size fits all answer. 

29. They will say the Chinese are communists and DAP most communist of all and the party should be banned. 

30. Malay supremacists and extremists delight in saying this is melayu land 

31. Others are guests and should behaved pliantly and submissively. 

32. It's the Nazis master race or Herrenrasse argument. 

Next. The destruction of Hindu temples and the rise of militant Islam?

Staying within the guard rails. Reminding a PM. Part 1.

1. I must say this again . For the umpteenth time. I don't want Anwar to be a one trick pony or a 1 hit wonder .

2. For pragmatic reasons, stand and support Anwar. 

3. The alternatives are terrifying and grimmer. 

4. We may end up with kleptocrats betraying our trust. 

5. We may end up with the silent plunderer hiding behind the endearing term Sabah. 

6. We may end up with a man, who thinks if something isn't thought by him, it's not good for Malaysia. 

7. Or we may end up with an accidental PM, becoming one but rejected by his own party. 

8. But still had the chance to plunder 170m. 

9. Anwar may have his foibles, but stand by him and support him. 

10. It doesn't mean you give him a carte blanche. Criticize to remind him to stay within the guard rails . Don't allow power to get to his head . 

11. Despite what his grovelling sycophants say, he is dangerously close to being a one trick pony. 

12. He may be one not because the opposition is strong including treacherous UMNO, but because he shoots himself in the foot. 

13. The Anwar unity government is seen to be erratic, inconsistent, double faced, double standard and also untrustworthy..it is cavorting with racial and religious extremists and now anti Chinese and anti indians/Hindus. That's not good for pakatan 

14. While support from the Malay community is uncertain, Anwar is gambling away Chinese and Indian support which PH needs. 

15. Legions of his blind sycophants may take note that now his approval rating is about 45% down from the 62% when he took power . 

16. PKR seems oblivious to the messages in Sabah. There, it has no credibility at all. 

17. The only seat it won came from a person who has switched party, DAP was annihilated and UMNO didn't do well either 

18. And nobody will ever forget the shameless conduct of PKR SUA. 

19.. she said, we are ready to form the next government. Who's we? It was basically GRS. 

20. Her faux pas, was akin to the nose not sharp, you push the cheeks forward or the cow produces the milk, the ghee gets the name.

Ad Hominem and tu quoque fallacy argument. Dealing with Bloomberg.

1. I have heard the loser argument many nauseating times.

2. When you can't out argue your opponent's convincing reasoning you go on the ad hominem fallacy.

3. Instead of attacking the opponent's substantive arguments , you attack his motive, personal attributes and so on.

4. For example, you try to discredit the Bloomberg reports by saying they are meant to be a slur campaign on SPRM to tarnish it's good name .

5. Or the horrors of it all, you say don't believe Bloomberg, because it's Jewish owned.

6. This, is of course, the weapon of choice of the so called soldiers of God and the Muslim brownshirts.

7. Don't listen to these fanatical zealots ala Bangla Muslim anarchists.

8. Because it's Jewish owned and Jews support Zionism, we are asked to disbelieve Bloomberg.

9. This is a simplistic and uncritical generalization.

10. Because there so many Jewish organizations that are anti Zionism.

11. Examples are American council for Judaism, anarchists against the wall, Jews for justice for Palestinians, European Jews for a just peace and many more.

12. As humans, Jews are also capable of advancing truth, rationalism and universal humanism.

13. So, I wouldn't be too quick to include Bloomberg as a purveyor of untruths.

14 . You have all the space to debunk it's arguments, so please do it .

15. We are not stupid, we can judge who is more credible.

16. So don't be telling us, don't listen to Bloomberg because they are Jews and because they oppress and kill the Palestinians.

17. That's a tu quoque fallacy argument - why should we listen to you because you are a hypocrite, kill the Palestinians?

18. As a Muslim, I stand by 2 principles mentioned in the Quran.

19. The 1st says that do not let the hatred for a particular race, prevent you from carrying out justice.

20. Muslims generally hate the Israelis, but that is not an excuse for us not to do justice.

21. Dismissing outright what Bloomberg says, to me is injustice.

22. The 2nd principle says, that the truth about any matter can come from anywhere, including from non Muslims.

23. Hence for example, Tony Pua who is Chinese and a non Muslim, advances an irrefutable argument, I will be stupid to reject it .

24. Ditto for Bloomberg.

Minah in Wonderland. The red herring to the sharegate.

1. Curiouser and curiouser, cried Alice. Alice apparently is in Malaysia, in Kl in Azam Bakis house .

2. The whole of Malaysia is engrossed over the Bloomberg reports, here comes a more bizarre story 

3. Lewis Carroll has to learn the art of story telling in Malaysia. 

4. A prominent family is alleged to be behind a plot to overthrow the government. 

5. Whoever concocted the story, please define overthrow. 

6. Doesn't it strike anyone, you or the man on rapid KL that this story is a red herring to be coming so close at the heels of Azam Baki sharegate scandal? 

7. It's a diversionary story to distract us from the blockbuster Bloomberg tales? 

8. Or as Tun Daim told me, a horror story so loved by malays especially, that has them glued the TV . 

9. Watching while eating popcorn shoving the popcorn not in the mouth but in the nostrils 

10. I mention the late tuns name because I instinctively know his family would be alleged. 

11. I don't know the fiesty toh puan nor his children. Have never met them 

12. Just so, I cannot allow the name of the late tun be besmirched. With wanton abandon and so disrespectful. 

13. Sure, I knew him only later , circa 2009, but can be counted as a friend alongside others. Kadir Jasin being one I know. 

14. So with the issuance of the usual customary press release , in the vaguest of language, define overthrow, mr IGP sir! 

15. To the common man, the man on the MRT, overthrow means armed insurrection and use of unparliamentary methods. 

16. Have the police discovered a cache of arms to be used by some mercenary fighting groups? 

17. Who made the report? Is this person credible? Does this person come before equity with clean hands? 

18. Isn't the issuance of a press release even before establishing it's credibility a bit hurried and careless? 

19 . Why do I come away feeling that this whole narrative is too far fetched and heavily scripted? 

20. And coming so close at the heels of the Azam Baki sharegate scandal and the controversial Bloomberg reports - the whole thing to me seems a diversionary ruse 

21. To us, the central issue is the Bloomberg reports and confound any incredulous side story. 

22. The police has countenanced the story of the report, they must now put meat on the bones. 

23. Having made the bed, the police must now lie in it. 

24. Let's see how the narrative is spinned. Perhaps we have our own' wag the dog ' movie starring Dustin Azam.
