How a contrarian views reformasi. Part 2. Devil's advocate series 79.

1. We have succeeded in overthinking the corrupt system 

2. Installing Anwar as PM is not the final solution 

3. We have succeeded in overthrowing the old regime and rightfully installed Anwar as PM. 

4. Hurrah! Belts off pants down isn't life a scream! 

5. We have overthrown the house that UMNO built. 

6. But the structures that supported the house remained. 

7. We must now dismantle it one by one. 

8. Anwar's staying power as PM depends on several factors, not the blue pill. 

9. We shan't discuss these here as I am sure the PKR people know of them 

10. The need to dismantle the structures is the principal reason why nana non should be given another term. 

11. The first thing he should direct his mind is the culture of dependency created by UMNO 

12. The greatest scam UMNO has craftily dished to Malays is making them believed the Malays need UMNO to survive. 

13. There are therefore 2 stages in reformasi. We have accomplished the 1st. Which is the overthrow of the previous regime and rightfully installing Anwar as PM. 

14. The 2nd stage is a work in progress, the demolition of the STRUCTURES that supported the status quo. 

15. That requires another term where at least some portions of the 2nd stage are laid down 

16. The success of the 2nd stage will also depend of his team , the immediate one will be the PKR people 

17. To be honest , the 2nd stage will be more difficult with people with less than a reformasi state of mind. 

18. Some are revisionists and reactionaries. 

19. At the moment, the term reformasi is just a performative term, a slogan shouted at gatherings. 

20. Only the term is performing, uplifting the spirits. We haven't seen the deeds 

21. So if people thínk it's a matter of willing it and wishing Anwar be given a 2nd term without yourselves doing your part, go kiss ass . 

22. It's ask not Anwar be given a 2nd term just like that because you wish it, ask what you are doing to accomplish it 

23. The scam UMNO is doing is accomplished by thinking Malay economic progress will be achieved by picking and choosing a cabal of crony carpetbeggars . 

24. Then you piously hoped these coterie of chosen few, out of the goodness of their hearts will create spillover and trickle down effects. 

25. What actually happened, are drip down effects 

26. It's a vulgar kind of voodoo economics where you hoped the reduction of taxes on the rich will cause them to invest in society more and stimulate the economy 

27. I would attack this construct of UMNO . 

28. The implementation arm of selecting these carpet beggars are the ubiquitous central command economic centres, the EPUs, ICUs,the GLCs and so on. 

29. I will remove the superfluous outfits 

30. I will be cruel on the war on corruption . 

31. I am not here to reinvent the wheel. I will heed what LKY said. The man who rules Malaysia must have that iron in him.

32. Those guilty of corruption will go to prison 

33. Or be disciplined like zu rongzhi. 

34. No half measures when punishing the corrupt 

35. No saying we are not interested in imprisoning some as long as we get back money. But the crime remains doesn't it? 

36. Let's call for life sentence for really severe corruption say 100m and above and forfeiture of properties, assets and chattels. 

37. I can't resist about saying bad about UMNO. 

38. UMNO is like the mercenary. If you win it says it's because of it. It then holds you captive 

39. Depending on UMNO is renting your own destruction 

40. I wouldn't touch UMNO with a 10 foot pole. 

41. It's a fatal mistake to invite the enemy to share political power with you.
