Reformasi is not sloganeering or doing batik painting or songket weaving . It's the surgical overthrow of defunct political cultures.

1. At the end of PKR convention. In Johor, the PM shouted the customary slogans.


2. Reformasi, lawan tetap lawan, membujur lalu melintang patah. 

3. As pak pandir modern would usually say, wow! 

4. In an earlier article , I said conversation. Because I think that it was just that- a talk cock session. 

5. The convention was more dominated by Rajinikanth Ramanan outpouring of diatribes against a person not there. 

6. The sloganeering was chorused by PKR leaders, where it befits them. 

7. We could see people like Mr Ramanan, makcik fadlina and herr fahmi there at the front row. 

8. It dawned upon many of us, that reformasi is not sloganeering, but the doing of it. 

9. Especially now, as reformasi is dwarfed by korapsi, kolusi and kebasi. 

10. And safety netting of Azam Baki. 

11. Are we seeing the ramananisation of PKR? 

12. The DAP and AMANAH have an interest in what's happening to PKR 

13. They supported Anwar but not to see PKR political culture,watered down by an ex mic saboteur. 

14. Anwar is responsible not only to PKR but also to his loyal stakeholders, DAP and AMANAH 

15. It's clear that the doing part of reformasi is more important. 

16. It's evidently clear that reformasi is not sloganeering or chorusing about it. 

17. It's not like doing batik painting, songket weaving, drinking teh tarik or eating pasembur, singing Kuch Kuch HOTA hai. It must never be so temperate, so bourgeois politely so leisurely and celebratory. 

18. It must be the the surgical removal of all previous political cultures. 

19. And that requires a firm leadership, the very requirement lectured by notorious Azam Baki. 

20. Which reminded me of what Lee Kuan Yew said after sorting out the SIA pilots issue. 

21. He said, that whoever rules Singapore must have that iron in him. 

22. Translated in our case, means whoever rules Malaysia must have that iron in him. 

23. Therefore those in attendance of the Johor talk cock session, if you approach reformasi with no reformasi state of mind, might as well stay home. 

24. Do your husband and wifely duties.
