Anwar between needs and wants.

1. Anwar should not elevate them to importance more than they deserved. 


2 . As political or special secretaries, they have done enough damage to Anwar. Through their machinations 

3 . By now, we ought to have realised that people around Anwar consist of not only political activists but also careerists-secretarists/sakau-ists, special officers etc .

4. They are busier at being gatekeepers collecting tolls 

5. Looking around us, the coterie of secretaries, special officers etc are the actual manipulative bastards 

6. They are the ones acting lebih pasak dari tiang and acting the tea spoon is bigger than the dinner spoon. 

7. Let's test this hypothesis -investigate all the secretaries, special officers at Zahid's ministry to see whether they have skimmed the top. That could explain the budget overruns there 

8. If they fit the bill, then you can generalize that as a rule, all secretaries and special officers are potential gate keepers collecting tolls 

9. If they aspire for higher positions like ADUNs or MPs, rule them out 

10. You have not tested their political mettle yet 

11. It's not a good idea to elevate them to importance like becoming ADUNs or MPs while they are serving as your staff 

12. They are then hunting with the hounds and running with the hare or drinking while diving 

13. While serving as your staff, everything is hunky dory. They yes suh to everything you say 

14. They get patronage and resources from the office they hold 

15 . With those they can oblige what people want. They are treated like living gods. It's impossible for you to judge their true character 

16. It's better for you to ask them to resign well before pru16 

17. Ask them to do political work. See whether they can galvanize support for the PM 

18. The PM really needs to reshape PKR into a lean mean and hungry fighting machine 

19. This will enable him to form a United front against the fascism of UMNO and PIS 

20. If he fails to do this, then the DAP in particular, must come to terms that it will have to deal with an increasingly weakening PKR 

21. One that will become the sick man of PH and will drag the DAP to more dismal results. 

22. PKR has already shown the bleak outcome in Johor and N9. Let's hope it can redeem itself in Melaka 

23. If push comes to shove, the DAP MUST consider going solo in pru16. Forming a pre-electoral pact with PKR and AMANAH before pru16 

24. That brings me, to 2 other things Anwar needs to do 

25. Anwar, as leader of PH must form solid camaraderie between PH partners. There must be frequent meeting of minds between them 

26. PH must consider also forming a broad united front with other parties against the fascism of UMNO and PAS. 

27. Remember, the enemy to my enemy is a friend. 

28. Finally, Anwar needs to get rid of UMNO 

29. UMNO is the black mamba of Malaysian politics. It's hiding to strike at Anwar when the time opportunity comes 

30. I am reminded of the pragmatic advice of Signor Machiavelli, that it's a grave mistake to invite your political enemy to share political power with you. 

31. The enemy is always UMNO!

Anwar's political needs.

1. When I was a 6th former, our economics teacher gave us a homespun wisdom which i remember till today 


2. Studying economics is like putting up a brick wall 

3 . You have to lay brick by brick. i.e., you understand its principles 

4. You don't claim you know econs, when for you, 1+1=3 . 1 for you, 1 for the introducer and 3 for me 

5. Apparently that's the economics some people practised at TH 

6. But shhh, you can't talk about it for that would dedahkan aib melayu Dan isle.. 

7. Says one defunct mullah after eating kopok lekor and ikang jerook 

8. But that's another story requiring telling at another time 

9. A very pertinent home spun principle, the economics teacher taught us, was to distinguish between needs and wants 

10. Most pertinent for one anvar ebraheem. That eye brow raising, veins in the neck bulging, talk till blue in the face son of a gun, ranting incessantly about sakau makau. 

11. Yes , that son of a gun who crosses every 't' and dots every 'i' with every awang mamat and dol 

12. Needs are what you require to survive 

13. Wants are what you desire to make your life more accomplished provided you remove as many constraints as possible (the independent variables or parameters). 

14. Nana nons political needs are 

15. He must win again in Tambun or a target area in pru16. 

16. In order to win, he needs to secure the support there 

17. He needs to touch base, grease palms . Or he needs to place a team with a team leader, not just 1 person to do skunk work 

18. You unthinking PKR bozos, don't take this lightly 

19. If the boss loses and bites the dust, you eat gravel and some end up in prison 

20. Once upon a time , when Najib won pekàñ with a majority of 241 votes, that scared him. 

21. He quickly rectified the situation by going back to Pekan every week 

22. Attending functions A, B,C. Officiating events X Y Z, including opening public toilet in kampungs 

23. He's willing to do anything necessary including shit work 

24. So you, unthinking dolts around PKRs leader, don't take this lightly 

25. You must do all that is necessary and creative to fortify Anwar 

26. Don't think Anwar can secure support of people in X area by the nauseating self promotion blitzes 

27. Or appearing disheveled hair, darked face, cauliflower nosed 

28. Speaking in antiquated language liked by PMIUM , PBMUM people and fans of Rose Chan 

29. So, buck up! 

30. Detached from the people, these young aides, drunk with power will create misery for Anwar 

31. Anwar needs to reshape PKR into a lean mean and hungry fighting machine 

32. When I see the people around Anwar, I am reminded of what Machiavelli said 

33. The 1st test to estimate the intelligence of the leader is to see the quality of people around him 

34. With the recent purge, the residue left is unwanted roughage 

35. It's a losers galore in PKR 

36. The deputy president lost in the last GE and has now gone AWOL. Saifuddin Nasution lost. Fuziah quick mouth Saleh lost. TZA lost 

37. The losers want to talk about winning ways for PKR? 

38. Oh I know, we'd rather listen to the junky looking Deputy minister who's currently embroiled in the PTPTN good issue 

39. He said the situation which PKR now faces is like the ending of a Tamil movie 

40. The hero always win at the end. Ada butot ka? 

41. When I see the material around Anwar now, I am inclined to say like my neighbor Achi said ,ayoyo, amama, apapa-pohchee! 

42. As much as I detest and don't want to entertain the idea that Anwar become a 1 song hit wonder, the forces trending him becoming 1 are unstoppable 

43. Like the indonesianssay, oh my gott! Kok bisa? Gimana sih?
