The prime talk cock in N9. Devil's advocate series no 27.

1 . I thought only the FB operatives are doing the moronic things they did typical of fellers living off preferential treatment and affirmative policies.

2. They made a social media survey asking the moronic question that if you want Nana non to stay on as PM for a 2nd term, press yes or no . 

3. I say man, the man has not finished the remainder of this present term you are asking for the next. 

4. I thought only they did the stupid thing until I hear Saifuddin nasushiyon said something similar in his pidato in N9. 

5. He asked the crowd to give nana non who is 78 now(he told the crowd) be given a 2nd term. 

6. To do what? To disturb young nubiles as the walked by? To marry another wife? Something Anwar said-he has 1 wife buat sementara waktu. 

7. His line of questioning like the surveys done by the FB Farts, insult our intelligence 

8. Tanya dan cakap things that respect and honour our intelligence la 

9. But don't expect anything intelligent from a character like Saifuddin nasushiyon. 

10. The only thing that has changed about him is his power walk, ie his walking gait as though imprinting the ground over which he walked. 

11. As though telling people, bow down you peasants, I am a big shot now. Respect me or I tangkap you for reasons I dreamt of. 

12. Tell la people of the reasons that we ought to give nana non another term. 

13. So that he carry out wide ranging reforms over many fields. 

14. Many are fed up at at hearing reformasi being shouted loudly at gatherings. Reduced to rabble rousing slogans giving us the feel good feeling. 

15. Talk to us about reformasi in economics, politics, law, in the way forward for Malays particularly and Malaysians in general. 

16. Talk to us about putting the fear of something for the malays in particular. Fear of something is a great motivation. 

17. But first remove the shields that prevent the Malays being not fearful 

18. Remove all the pick -choose-winners economic strategy, central command economics strategy, preferential treatment, affirmative policies etc 

19. In Malaysia, even God is not feared by the Malays.

20. Some people make fun of the sumpah laknat because they don't think they will be punished in an instance by God. 

21. Taiwan fears china , that's why it must be successful in many fields especially teknocoli. 

22. South Korea fears north Korea. It has to be on top of many things because of the fear of being blown to smitherins by that rotund fellow up north. 

23. Israel has to be superior in many things because it lives in a sea of holy camel dung Arabs. 

24. Singapore has to be strong because it lives in a sea of Malays. 

25. Fear of something makes countries and people excel. It's the challenge and respond thingy of Arnold Toynbee. 

26. But few Malays want to read his 12 volume history of the world. Sad . 

27. Take the need for reformasi in law. The petty thief gets jailed after 2 days in court . 

28. But a certain kleptocrat-in- chief wates years of court time before being judged. 

29. When convicted in 1 case, he gets to relax in a staycation in kajang. 

30. Perhaps getting massat service weekly, being sent pudding raja from padang polo in pekan, sent Kelah fish by an UMNO idiot in Raub, gets rendang maman from N9, kuzi from Johor. 

31. It's la dolce Vita for him courtesy of Saifuddin nasushiyon and bro A. 

32. What can we expect from Darul RASUAH? 

33. We have laws and regulations, but those can be bent. We have procedures but they can be shortened or extended as it suits the deep pocketed. 

34. The law is sharp downwards but blunt upwards. 

35. That guy with 47 charges, gets preferential treatment because of his technical know who. 

36. Justice may not always mean upholding the rule of law. But it is often a business in favour of cronies and family members. 

37. Talk about reformasi in the law, for instance. About others, see other articles coming. 

38. Hello speech makers, carry out reformasi you have promised slowly now given the remainder of present term and laying the foundations for MORE rigorous reformasi in future, should assure you of the people's support 

39 . In other words
idiots, if you do these 2 things, they are the more convincing reasons for people to support you indefinitely . Not only for next term but indefinitely . 

40. And it is not only Anwar for the next term but PH as the government indefinitely. 

41. To carry out all the steps necessary to make Malaysia great always (MMGA)

The many faces of reformasi. Part 2. Devil's advocate series no 24.

1. Sorry to say the PKR people don't know where to start to usher in economic reforms

2. How to know when you don't study and understand the matter . 

3. The bane is the pick -choose-winners economic strategy for the upward mobility of the Malays. 

4. Did you tell Robert Kuok, Quek Leng Chan, Jeffrey chia, Ananda Krishna etc , what to do? 

5. Did you tell Syed Mokhtar, Azman Hashim what to start with? 

6. In the main, these self made Malays were already successful when you decide to give them help 

7. Here's another issue, you help those who don't need help. 

8. It's success breeds success. 

9. It's a different matter with those picked and chosen. 

10. You midwifed them from birth to end 

11. The government is perpetuating the same business as usual methods. Maybe with improvements here and there 

12. Now you have bestinet, NexG, countless others and 50 chosen and picked you want to be IPOed. These are all beneficiaries of the pick and choose economic model 

13. Supported of course by the central command economic model people . 

14. Btw, who will evaluate the financial performance of the 50? 

15. Not Khazanah I hope because the 50 may get the fashion valet treatment. 

16. We have 2 bad creations here- the pick -choose-winners and central command structure 

17. I would start by doing away with these 2. 18. Because these 2 structures caused much corruption, I will carry out an account and lifestyle audit 

19. I don't want to see from here , upon retiring, people buy 15 to 20 million bungalows. 

20. I would also cause the building of a new jail to 'accommodate' these white collar criminals. 

21. The superstructure, the big kahuna enabling the 2 is the NEP . 

22. Accordingly, I will dismantle the NEP and it's successors. 

23. There will be no more economic grab, predation, giving of licenses and sweetheart contracts 

24. The question then, is Anwar balsy enough to carry out these revolutionary steps? 

25. He will be advised by PKR people to go slow as they want to make hay while it shines. 

26 . The PKR people and regrettably Anwar seem to ignore the negative impacts of big government 

27. I am concerned about 3 things. Runaway government spending, excessive regulation and reversed redistribution 

28 . Seems to me, every other day, as it were, Anwar seems to be doing income transfers. 

29. Populist but bad economic effects. 

30. Has anyone calculated how much he has spent as income transfers compared to one kleptocrat in chiefs BR1M? 

31 . I don't have the figures, but I suspect it's bigger. 

32 . This will translate into bigger total public debt. Say 1 .5 /1.6 trillion. Debt to GDP ratio of 65 to 70%. Deficit can remain unmoved? 

33. Hurrah! Belts off, pants down, dicks out, isn't life a scream? 

34. If some cabinet members and some MPs especially those from UMNO were on a plane, piloted by mat 'sarjan' Hassan , co-piloted by the pontian gnome crashes in a deep ravine . All reported dead. 

35. Who are saved? All the 34 million peoples of Malaysia.

The many faces of reformasi. Part 1. Devil's advocate series no 23.

1. Anwar Ibrahim has been our leader for 3 years. He has another 2 years to complete a term.

2. He doesn't need to hold elections to satisfy some quarters lust for power. 

3. The next election isn't due till February 2028 I think 

4 . Might as well use the balance of this term and hopefully the next to carry out resolutely, his promised reformasi 

5. Not so much of the madanised vomit 

6. But substantive reformasi in economics, politics and social life. 

7. And I say this with candor and glasnost fashion that Anwar needs Rafizi types to carry out reformasi 

8. To act as barometer keeping Anwar on an even keel and within the guard rails. 

9. Not the sycophantic types, the boot lickers, the apple polishers and the operational think nincompoops . 

10. Let's face it, brother Anwar with his cerebral limitations, needs Rafizi types to compensate his limitations 

11 . We can act smarmy and bootlicking and elevate Anwar to an intellectual Yoda, but that would be lying to ourselves. 

12. Better to acknowledge that Anwar hasn't got all the smarts and that he needs all the good and talented people around him and not sycophants and bootlickers. 

13. People are revolted at idiotic surveys that asked us to press yes or no , if we think that pmx ought to be given another term . 

14. Surveys of that kind insult our intelligence. Please give reasons as to why you think PMX ought to be given to term. 

15. That is respecting our intelligence. 

16. These knuckleheads think the PMship is something you can give gratuitously. 

17. If that is the case, you are trapped in the vicious cycle of ' there's nothing Malays like better, than being given things free'. 

18. If I know better, I would be forgiven into thinking that these people doing this kind of surveys are former UMNO cybertoopers now employed by PKR underbosses 

19. Equally, people find it nauseating when these paid writers try to turn Anwar into a cult figure, reminiscent of Chinese singing blindly the propaganda song ' the east is red' of chairman mao 

20. It's chairman non now, is it? 

21. People find it yucky when we are shoved with pictures of Anwar using the phone or of pictures showing Anwar attending Friday prayers here and there or of Anwar visiting ularmamaks of dubious character. 

22. If I were mean, I would be asking, does Anwar pray only once a week? It's important to appear religious, you know... 

23. So stop this nonsense of idiotic surveys and cult propaganda. Respect our intelligence. Give reasons as to why you think our brother ought to be given another term . Capiche? 

24. I said Rafizi types, not Rafizi himself. With the way he's treated by a weaponized SPRM, PKR has hammered the last nail on the coffin. 

25. Therefore, better use the remainder of this term and a possible next to carry out substantive reformasi. Rather than humoring calls for a snap GE. 

26. If you do the elections now , you'll suffer a KO worse than Tysons uppercut. 

27. I am reminded of what lee kuan yew said about what determines political longevity 

28 . The first is keeping the faith of the people in you. In this case, the faith of people in you as a real McCoy reformist. 

29. This is long term and strategic. It is one that we shall focus on. 

30. The other is operational. Honouring the many pompous promises you made on stage. 

31. These are the following reforms I want too see take place 

32. If nana non doesn't like them,he can dustbin them. 

33. First,the economic model of pick and choose winners must be discarded 

34. It widens the economic disparity between the have and have nots. 

35. The ' chosen' rose up because of their cunningness and willingness to do whatever it takes. They kneel down, cry or kiss ass 

36. They prosper not because of their treasury of competencies but due to their cunningness and other un-meritorious qualities. 

37. They will eventually fail unless they are given new deals, contracts and licenses . 

38. Coincidentally, this model is a great source of corruption. It is also a main cause for the creation of the deep state , i.e. the collusion between high government officials and the rapacious business community.

Reformasi in the economy. Part 3. Devil's advocate series no 13.

1. If the PKR people think reformasi is the shouting and shrieking part, it's misplaced enthusiasm and excitement.

2. It's not about getting mass feel good feeling or hysterical orgasm - the doing part is more important 

3. It must be the surgical overthrow of the 'ancient regime', it's political culture and in this particular instance, the specific economic model 

4. An economic model based on 3 principal elements. 

5. A pick and choose business model which is discretionary , depending on the leaders' despotism and never principle based. 

6. Buttressed by a host of preferential treatment and affirmative policies. Challenge to them is regarded defiance, disloyalty and unpatriotic. It's essentially class protection. 

7. It's a model based on the zero sum principle. Non Malays can only gain, by depriving Malays economic opportunities. 

8. The enabling superstructure is of course, central command economics. 

9. That is why, you see most civil servants mythified as technocrats are cocky bastards 

10. This pick and choose winners economic model must be done away with. Just so you wouldn't think we are envious these people got rich because the government picked and chose them, we will give economic rationale 

11. This model prevents the rise of resilient, competent and genuine entrepreneurs in the economy 

12. This holds back the Malay economy as the genuine entrepreneurs, not artificially created ones from emerging. 

13. The pick and choose economic model creates a new putera class from the bumiputera hoi poloi. 

14. The putera class is incapable or rather do not want to produce the trickle down effects expected of them by the voodoo economics planners 

15. They are more interested in lining their own pockets rather than uplifting the lot of their fellow beings 

16. Uplifting others are only spoken words by sly politicians wanting to calm them and secure their support 

17. Have you seen these puteras helping out the bumis? 

18. Empirical evidence will show ,the income disparity between the T20 and the B40 remains unchanged. 

19. The average monthly income of the T40 is now probably RM12000 while the average monthly income of the B40 is around 2000 Ringgit. 

20. The income disparity between interracial and intraracial will likely remain because we got it wrong with our basic economic model. 

21. As long as the pick and choose winners economic model remains, there will be no economic redress. 

22. From the heydays of this economic model ( starting from the days of Mahathir) till now, our economic set up remains unchanged 

23. Now, we have the chosen and picked like bestinet, nexG and others that carry the pick and choose flag. 

24. After enjoying initial successes, they will eventually fail because the patronage with which they initially grew is no more. 

25. Most of those picked and chosen by Mahathir failed. The same fate or end awaits those now nurtured by Anwar. It's destiny. 

26. They failed because their strengths and competences were built exogenously instead of endogenously . 

27. If the 2nd line leaders in PKR especially and PH in general, don't realise that economic reformasi require a radical change in the basic pick and choose winners economic model, things will remain status quo. 

28. How can there be? If these leaders don't know and understand what economic reformasi entails, how can they in turn communicate what are the changes needed? 

29. I have been saying this repeatedly, if these leaders approach their portfolios, without a reformasi state of mind, things will be the same. 

30. We must also reject the zero sum mentality. 

31. We can't go around with the idea, that economic gains by non malays mean depriving and robbing Malays of economic opportunities 

32. That would mean that we are at constant loggerheads. Instead of finding ways to expand the economic cake, we are always fighting over an assumed constant economic pie. 

33. That by the way, is the economic thinking that predicates the economic agenda of UMNO and the Malay supremacists. 

34. Therefore there are valid reasons to do away with the zero sum mentality. It at once remove the
source of much racial tensions as well as prevent the overall decrease of national productivity. 

35. There's an added incentive to do away with the zero sum mentality. It removes the arsenal from parties like UMNO from using the technique to gaslight Malays. 

36. The zero sum mentality and the pick-and-choose- winners economic model come together in the embrace of Central command economics. 

37. This is the belief that the greatest of economic achievements are determined by the dictates of central command, i.e. by politicians and bureaucratic brahmins. 

38. Accordingly the politicians and bureaucratic brahmins focus not on economic achievements but on the rules and clauses that permit them to regulate and control. 

39. Rather than finding ways to secure economic achievements, the focus is on preferential clauses, affirmative clauses, entitlement clauses etc. Form over substance . Insisting adherence to these are more important than real economic achievements 

40. To me, economic reformasi involved 3 basic things. 

41. Getting rid of the politically motivated pick -choose-winners economic model, get rid of the zero sum mentality, and most important of all getting rid of the restraints imposed by central command economics. 

42. My verdict: sorry sir, no economic reformasi. It's more of the same.

Reformasi in the economy. Part 1. Devil's advocate series no 11.

1. It was reported this. The government is looking forward to 10 Malay IPOs. They want to create 500m Malay noveu rich

2. When I read this, I know that economic reformasi is fake

3. If the malays are good, why do they need assistance from the government?

4. This is what you get, when you believe that the greatest economic achievements come from the dictates of central command economics

5. The truth is, the greatest of economic achievements result from private enterprise operating under a system of free market economics.

6. Sunway did not grow big because some bureaucrats in Putrajaya guided it's growth

7. The Kuok group does not become big because Amir Hamzah and gang bridesmaid them

8. Similarly, the IOI group doesn't become big because some bureaucrats in Putrajaya tell them what to do

9. On the other hand, as comparison, look at how most of the bumi companies got big.

10. They got big because they were given exclusive licences, monopolies and were given direct businesses by the government

11. They got big from the assistant of what I called the grand deep state.

12. A deep state is the collusion between high government officials and the business community

13. A grand deep state occurs when the is collusion between high government officials AND political leaders and the business community.

14. You think a Bangla can become a big taiko and towkay without the grand deep state?

15. Or nexG becomes a billion ringgit business without the grand deep state?

16. Or the man who rented helicopters to PETRONAS, Syed Mokhtar presently, others got big without the grand deep state?

17. Even NAFAS- can it evolve into a company of leisure and decadent wealth supplying fertiliser nobody wants if not assisted by the grand deep state?

18. Let's get real- this will be a contest between central command economics and free market economics .

19. The companies that thrive for the moment because of central command economics will eventually fail

20. Because they evolved not though building organic competencies but grew because they are hand guided by the grand deep state

21. On the other hand, company that grew because of internal competencies will endure .

22. What happened when 1 day, anvar ebraheem decides to remove the grand deep state and removed monopolies, licenses and so on?

23. The companies that thrive for the time being because of patronage, will go kaput!

24. Will the PM realise that this way of economic growth by the dictates of central command economics and through the grand deep state is the UMNO way?

25. The first step on the road of economic reformasi begins by unfollowing the UMNO way!

Reformasi and Education. Devil's advocate. No 10.

1. All Malaysians should now know, there won't be any radical changes in our educational landscape

2. There won't be any reformasi there. The quota of 90% bumi intake in matriculation stays 

3. Some celebrate and pay homage to non bumi achievers in the SPM 

4. But the celebration will turn to frustration, when many of these high achievers won't even smell the coveted places. 

5. Because meritocracy is not going to be the main criterion for admission for admission to matriculation courses . 

6. Preferential treatment hidden behind the sanitized term of positive discrimination will be. 

7. Preferential treatment and other affirmative policies are necessary because they are needed to rectify the educational deficit of the Malays 

8. Malaysia isn't ready for meritocracy say the politicians. That assertion is implemented with great fervour by the bureaucrats. 

9. So that's it- the quota mode stays the politicians themselves are dead 

10. Because there will be no reformasi, there goes my plan to supply badges with a nude Rose Chan on them 

11. You would assume that as a Malay I would rejoice because the quota system stays 

12. I am afraid you are wrong. I am opposing it because it is inherently wrong and unfair. 

13. To confer onto ourselves advantages and then compete with others is wrong 

14. It's a almost 60 years since1970, we haven't overcome the constaints we fought against? 

15. This is the 21st century and do we still attribute our backwardness on colonialism and other erasable social injustices? 

16. The Malay supremacists and Uber nationalists, because the educational deficit affects them, will continue to use these factors as justifications to justify the quota system 

17 . In reality, our educational deficit as well as our general backwardness is because we have chosen the wrong political oberbau or superstructure. 

18. By continuing the policies laid down by UMNO and embellishing them, we are in fact perpetuating the social divisiveness enabled by UMNO's social engineering. 

19. It is the greatest of irony, that we are not serious in grafting a bangsa Malaysia. 

20. Indeed, racial polarisation seemed to be the natural outcome as we exacerbate racial differences . 

21. Witness the many bellicose rants coming out and the equally pugnacious and combative responses. 

22. If the Malays require all the assists to get by generally, then it is a terrible indictment on our race. 

23. The requirement is so because the assists are not befitting the 'par excellence ' race . 

24. The race that prides itself as descendants of Abraham, were here since the great floods of Noah, inspired the Egyptians building pyramids, taught the Romans shipbuilding, taught the Chinese how to fly, inspired them to make yee sang and is claimed to have DNA older than the Chinese and Indians. 

25. A race with these superman qualities cannot overcome the impediments to social progress, say in 20 years? 

26. Now , education is important to all races and the area most requiring reformasi. 

27. The problem is, bureaucrats see these intelligent lot as just digits to be manipulated 

28 . The quota system perpetuates institutional discrimination, entitled mentality and social divisiveness. 

29. Leads to misfit of talent pool. As a result leads to suboptimal talent pool . 

30. Deprives the nation of competitiveness and sub optimal productivity 

31. The removal of the quota system is necessary as it removes the entitlement mentality, removes bureaucratic oppression implemented through educational engineering more manipulation in fact but disguised as a well meaning means to rectify educational deficit. 

32. The greatest danger will be that the quota system is accepted as the natural order of things and an integral part of 'good governance '. 

33. It will then be defended by any means necessary and challenges to it in any form will be regarded as seditious defiance. 

34. I am not dismissive of the government's efforts to address the wrongs in our educational system 

35. But the reformasi must not be achieved through a system of preferential treatment and affirmative policies. That is the
UMNO way. 

36. I hold it as a universal and inalienable truth, that the way forward for us not only in education but in all social progress in general, be achieved through hard work, cultivation of competencies and competing on a level playing field. 

37. That , my friends is the Zaaba way. That Malay rara avis , prescription for all malaysians. 

38. And it must be done with minimal interference and intervention from the government 

39. Governmental intervention and interference is just central command management in another form. 

40. Just old school communism.

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.

Counter Reformasi and the perpetuation of mediocrity.

1. Education should be a priority to which reformasi ought to be applied.

2. Accordingly, the person in charge of education must be bold, determined, highly resolved and astute

3. One hundred years ago, the great Malay thinker, Zaaba stated that the road for salvation, economic progress for Malays especially must be education

4. He stated that Malay poverty in terms of wealth and money honey, is known to all .

5. But more dangerous and perilous of the type of poverty holding back malays especially, is the poverty in the treasury of internal values, necessary for success.

6. For the Malay Muslim, doesn't the Quran say that God will not change the lot of one race, if they do not first change what's within themselves?

7. Educational parity is achieved by cultivating within themselves a treasury of succession values

8. They are not achieved by NEP-eing the educational structure.

9. This is the reformasi I would look at rather than asking pupils to wear jalur gemilang badges costing 8 million ringgit .

10. If I were a pupil, I would wear a badge with a young rose Chan on the badge. That badge would be well looked after .

11. If we continue with the NEP engineering of our education, we would just be continuing the system laid down by UMNO and implemented by cavemen Malay supremacists.

12. In that vein, I am appalled when madam secretary of PKR saying , we are not ready for meritocracy.

13. We are ready for it, when hell freezes over isn't it? If not now, when? When you were in power, you were just warming your bum right ?

14. Therefore when you are screaming reformasi, think of how to apply it to our education system

15. When you scream reformasi, think of overthrowing the status quo. You lawan antiquated thinking. You membujur lalu melintang patah the counter reformasist.

16. It's change or more of the same!

17. The education minister has excellent base material to work with.

18. The Malays are descendants of Abraham, their DNA is older than that of the Chinese and indians, they taught the Romans shipbuilding, inspired Egyptians about pyramids, taught the Chinese how to fly, inspired the Chinese how to make yee sang ...the list has yet to be completed.

19. It's impossible for a race with these superman qualities not to cultivate the necessary internal values to succeed. It's impossible for them to require NEP educational engineering.

20. Or the things mentioned in 18, are elements of a vanity project hawked around by a few loco academicians in the interest of the herrenrasse/master race?

21. An unreformed educational structure has made our education system a conduit and easy passage for the rise of mediocre talents.

22. In general, an unreformed educational system has reduced the quality of the national talent pool .

23. Shouting reformasi and other slogans will not rectify the wrongs of our education system .

24. Anthony loke, secgen of DAP better brace himself to hearing harrowing tales of deserving non Malay malaysians being crowded out by less deserving Malay malaysians.

25. Meanwhile, rose Chan will continue with her striptease routines in the celestial world.

26. Hey, it's not that I have an 'obsession' with rose Chan. But in the 70s, rose Chan was more popular than tun Razak around UM campus.

27. In the FEA for example, where the students there were less inhibitive, many will thank Rose for helping them to reach puberty early.

28. In the Arts Faculty, the sexual exuberance of the students there, was more restrained.

29. It was because of the presence of PBMUM and PMIUM led by one anvar ebraheem.

30. That name sounds uncannily close to the name of our PM. Wonder who the mamak padukang is?

31. Maybe Hishammuddin Rais of UMSU can tell us.

32. Don't expect any earth shattering reforms from our education minister. It's no change but more of the same

33. To people accustomed to institutional discrimination, equality is discrimination.

34. To people accustomed to living under a sub par PPC( production possibilty curve) that is the normal.

The kerfuffle at the Johor PKR conversation . Devil's advocate series no 4

1. I am sorry I don't understand who the government is fighting against.

2. I don't give a shit about who Ramanan poured venom to,as it is an internal party matter 

3. But at the end of PKR gatherings there will be the customary shouts of reformasi reformasi, lawan tetap lawan 

4. First of all many of thé the PKR bozos have zero inkling of what reformasi is. 

5. It must entail the overthrow of the status quo. Must entail the doing away with business as usual culture. Must entail the overthrow of defunct practices of the previous regimes . 

6. Otherwise it will be like what James carville warned - no change but more of the same.

7. Reformasi is not about standing up, hands raising, fists clenching and shouting the customary slogans, feeling satiated. 

8. You think this is a sex session ka? 

9. Reformasi is not like having climaxes hearing the supreme leader speaks, having teh tarik or eating pasembuk from padang kota . 

10. It can never be so carnival like , so celebratory. 

11. It must be it's just business to overthrow the old status quo 

12. If you don't have the reformasi state of mind, you'd better stay home doing your husbandly and wifely duties 

13. We are going to hear of the same and harrowing tales post SPM and stpm results 

14. Many deserving non Malay students will not be able to get places in medic, accounting, engineering etc 

15. Their places have been taken up by less deserving Malays alongside the deserving Malays. 

16. This education engineering is necessary it is claimed by the Malay supremacists, to correct the educational imbalance . 

17. We will face the usual stories of non malays, many of them poor, but because they are caught up by the NEP dragnet of NEP educational engineering will never smell places in matriculation or get into courses, everyone knows they deserve. 

18. Then, political parties will create a ruckus but UPU will say, it follows objective guidelines. 

19. Parents of these rejected students will scrounge everywhere, borrow from ah longs to finance their children's education at private colleges 

20. The education minister will show up at students registration day, feeling moved, will buy luggage for poor students from kampungs. 

21. The sycophantic social media people will proclaim we have such a caring education minister. 

22. But all she can show us, are sock eye salmon eyes. 

23. Rather than clenching fists and chorusing reformasi reformasi, carry out real reformasi in education. 

24. At the Johor PKR conversation, I am not interested in the storm created by 'Rajinikanth' Ramanan and his apple polishing of the supreme leader, but more interested at the ending of the speech of the president 

25. Shouts of reformasi and lawan tetap lawan and membujur lalu, melintang patah, carry what meaning to the chorus team, the PKR hoi poloi especially it's leaders in front?

Reformasi, Revisionist and counter reformasi

1. Reformasi or revolusi is the same to me . It means total change

2. It's the overthrow of the old political system and culture.

3. One is achieved through the ballot box, the other through the barrel of the gun. Thats the basic difference.

4. As one current policy strategist says, change or more of the same

5. That's James carville. If you don't know who he is, I can't help you . Sorry .

6. Reformasi is not like going to a dinner party, doing crochet, eating pasembuk or eating nasi kandaq at nasi kandaq beratoq.

7. It cannot be so refined, so leisurely, genteelly , so temperate.

8 . It must be done with surgical precision, rapier sharp excise and at road runner speed

9. The speed by which it's carried out is always frustrated by the apologists, the faint hearted, the revisionists

10. The revisionists will accuse those not happy at the pace of reformasi, as being liabilities to the country .

11. They parrot the tired phrase, reformasi takes time.

12. It must be done like pulling hair from the flour.

13. Let's begin with a systematic and piston like overthrow of the old political system and culture

14. The old political system and culture put in place by xenophobic UMNO.

15.lets begin by shattering some myths. The first , was the creation of the NEP. Really it's the institutionalization of affirmative policies.

16. The chief architect of the NEP was the great Tun Razak, a Fabian socialist.

17. In effect, the policies he put up, were the manifestation of liberal bourgeois empathies for the have nots and the lumpenproletariat

18. The quid pro quo was the lumpenproletariat and the hoi poloi reciprocate by giving total obedience to UMNO.

19. The ones who came after tun Razak, vulgarized the NEP by transforming the affirmative policies into economic hegemonism and crony capitalism and plunder.

20. The latter took place especially during the administration of Dr Hans Mengele Mahathir culminating in the pillage by a particular kleptocrat in chief.

21. It's a case of the teacher urinating while standing, the pupil pisses off while running.

22. The NEP and it's self serving excesses applied and interpreted by over zealous technocrats, should have ended in 1990.

23. Instead it metamorphosed into a more masculine NDP or whatever, a tool of economic pillaging dreamt of by political crooks and implemented by bureaucratic lackeys

24. The reward system in the policies are wrong. You reward the economically incompetents, give posts to mediocre talents, give college placements to academically inferior material, all under the excuse of making good all handicaps.

25. If a non Malay especially a Chinese were to say this, you will respond by saying the Chinese naturally have sinister motives towards the Malays, they are communists and worse, DAPigs.

26. Now a Malay is saying these because he thinks the retention of the NEP is unconscionable and has expired its shelf life.

27. The NEP especially the affirmative policies, euphemistically called positive discrimination policies are destroying us- out self esteem, our competitiveness, our reliance on our intrinsic abilities.

27b. This is not a Malay influenced by Marxian writings talking, ya .

28. This is a Malay who wants to see the removal of all political and economic fetters to political and economic freedom removed, one by one until none exists

29. This is a Malay more inclined by the libertarian not liberal yes, writings of von mises , Hayek and the public intellectual of all public intellectuals, Milton Friedman.

30. They believed as many of us do, that the only economic system that promotes and fertilizes political and economic freedom is free market.

31. Here, the Malay thinker most associated with free market system is probably Zaaba.

32. Professor ungku Aziz would probably be determined and systematically unravel the knot of erroneous economic thinking.

33. My first target for reformasi is the ending of the NEP.

34. I will explain in the next part of this article.

35. Sure, many of you will disagree with me- the Malay supremacists, the neo feudalists, the brainwashed hoi polloi, neurotic UMNO, to that I have no issue

36. Let's sell our ideas

36b. My opinion is important to me. I reserve the right to have it defended against any majority views and convention.

Mereka yang saudara kepadaku, marilah. 

Berikan aku lidah, aku mahu berkata kata, 

bagaikan laut yang menghempas pantai merdeka, 

sekian lama kita mati dalam setia, 

kali ini kita hidup dalam durhaka.

Reformasi, perasuah dan pasung. Sontoloyo series no 35

1. Nyata, persekitaran yang baru tidak semestinya memunculkan watak2 berminda baru.

2. Orang2 yang kita sangka berfikiran baru, rupa2nya musang berbulu ayam.

3. In a celebrated battle cry said by James carville, it's not change but more of the same .

4. Ambil contoh issue korapsi misalnya.

5. Walaupun ada tindàkan dan iltizam dari PM sendiri, korapsi dan abuse of power berlaku sana sini.

6. Yang membimbangkan saya, ialah walaupun ada iltizam untuk membasmi korapsi, kesungguhan tersebut semacam di niutralisasikan oleh 2 kenyataan.

7. 2 kenyataan tersebut datang, peliknya Dari PM.

8. Pertama, kita berminat untuk jel.perasuah , tapi lebih berminat mendapatkan wang yang di sakau.

9. Kedua , bukan kenyataan sebetulnya, tapi kesan dari kenyataan pertama.

10. Iaitu persepsi bahawa jika sebagian saja Wang dikembalikan, perasuah bebas dan tak masuk jel.

11. Saya harap ini tak betul. Ianya satu principle yang well established in law iaitu bukan sebagian, tapi a multiple of the stolen amount be returned.

12. Misalnya jika kebas 43 juta, 43jx3 patut dibayar.

13. Patut tak ada diskaun bumiputra jika perasuah adalah melayu.

14. By the way, tahu kah anda bahawa bumiputra atau bumiputEra adalah istilah yang Kotor sebetulnya?

15. Yakni jika anda bumiputra, anda berhak mendapat as of right, diskaun atau concessions serta keistimewaan?.

16. Kalau kena bayar balik 120 juta serta jel 12 tahun, sebab anda bumi ada diskaun bayar serta diskaun masa jel.

17. Saya harap para Hakim humban semua karut marut ini.

18. Bahkan jika mereka ada rational expectations ( satu istilah ekonomi) dimana mereka boleh anticipate apa badan pengampunan akan buat , kenakan hukuman yang deliberately excessive.

19. Sure nya, pardons board akan beri diskaun, tapi mereka tidak akan beri diskaun excessively liberal takut dimarahi rakyat .

20. Sayang nya tentu para Hakim tak pernah dengar konsep rational expectations.

21. Dan saya harap para hakim tidak menjadikan tidak jel perasuah sebaik legal rule

23. Ia nya satu general political statement, bukan legal principle.

24. Saya harap judiciary sebagai bulwark serta last bastion keadilan remains brave and stout/tegas .

25. Jika yang thabit dengan rasuah tidak dijel, semua hujjahan mengenai sentencing di buang out of the window.

26. Tidak ada soal2 deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation blah blah .

27. Biar Hakim guard jealously the rationale for sentencing.

28. Janganlah lacurkan prinsip undang2 demi political expediencies.

29. Dari segi politik, ada beberapa sebab kita tuntut perasuah di jel.

30. Pemasungan perasuah mencerminkan kebencian yang amat sangat dari masyarakat.

31. Rasuah adalah most heinous of crimes kerana ia betray public trust and moral norms.

32. Oleh kerana ianya most heinous crime, ia mesti dibalasi dengan hukuman jel.

33. Hukuman jel menunjukkan kesungguhan pemerintah memelihara public trust serta norma2 moral masyarat yang diterima oleh mereka .

34. Pemerintah mesti menzahirkan kehendak masyarakat. 35. Rasuah adalah jinayah yang paling keras terhadap masyarakat.

36. Ianya jinayah kerana rasuah membelotí kepercayaan masyarakat yang tidak boleh dimaafkan.

37. Sebagai pemelihara public trust, pemerintah mesti hukum perasuah seberat berat nya. Seperti di jel di satu tempat yang ditetapkan oleh pemerintah. Bukan di rumah.

38. Setiap pemerintah mempunyai version keadilan nya sendiri. Pemerintah reformasi mesti merombak sistem yang reaksioner.

39. Agenda puak2 con-servatives seperti UMNO, PAS dan bersatu ialah memelihara status quo.

40. Yakni memelihara keistimewaan keatas kumpulan kecik diatas kesengsaraan ramai .

41. Pemerintah reformasi mesti merombak semua peraturan2 puak neo feudal . Kehendak majority mesti diberi pengzahiran.

42. Motto pemerintah reformasi ialah we are not interested in preserving the status quo but in overthrowing it.

43. The reactionaries are resurfacing in saintly guises. Terang bulan terang di kali, buaya timbul disangka kiyai.

44. Anggaplah sokongan pemerintah reformasi ini untuk mengejel perasuah sebagai usaha untuk restore. the balance of the scales of justice.

45. Iaitu dacing keadilan yang berat sebelah menyokong golongan elit sambil menzalimi golongan miskin lumpenproletariat.

46. Kita tahu perasuah akan menggunakan segala helah, rayuan yang berterusan untuk meloloskan diri.

47. Koruptor akal nya panjang, jaksa dan Hakim di ajak kompromi.

48. Kita tetap: jel semua perasuah.

Reformasi and korapsi. The war against corruption. Part 2. Sontoloyo series no 33.

1. The legendary Indonesian poet,WS Rendra;

2. in a few verses of his multiple quatrains, Pantun Korupsi, said:-

3. I read it this way. If you want to eradicate corruption , fight it there and here and everywhere.

4. Corruption is corruption is corruption. Big or small. No distinction, needed.

5. Some people mocked when said, corruption will be eradicated.

6. First the big fish , then the ikan bilis. In 3 years corruption will be eradicated. Contributions of these people, irrelevant.

7. You are fighting the culture of corruption. Distinction into big or small is also irrelevant.

8. The mockings are not appreciated.

9. Have you ever heard UMNO saying, it will fight corruption?

10. Never, right? Because corruption is 2nd nature to UMNO. It's embedded in its DNA.

11. When the Javanese neantherthal says UMNO will field candidates who are clean, no corruption, no personal problems, it's incredible!

12. An UMNO person with no history of these, is as rare as a hen's teeth.

13. Have you ever hear of the party of the ecclesiastical warlords,saying it will eradicate corruption?

14. In fact, some of its leaders are dusting the archives looking for obscene Hadith justifying corruption

15. Hearing it talked about tackling corruption is rare like a unicorn.

16. And have ever hear of cocky bersatu talked about it?

17. I don't ever want to believe any party that doesn't have the eradication of corruption as an element of it's political culture.

18. Now we have a government of the day saying expressly, the eradication of corruption as it's agenda.

19. Sure , it will be a promise full of warts, boils, polyps and even fibroids .

20. But as Carl Jung says we judge you not by what you said you would do but by what you actually do.

21. But now we have something to hold on the PM. And I suspect, once the dragnet is released, even the PM can't protect the warts and boils . Society will have something to invigilate him on

22. And the unique thing about corruption, it's an open ended issue. It will never end as long as there is abuse of power and embezzlement. The PM now will always be called into account .

23. Let's not distinguish between jerung and ikan bilis. Corruption is corruption.

24. We like to talk of corruption by politicians. Because they are visible, loud and are in the limelight.

25. The more insidious corruption is that carried out by civil servants. According to Transparency international, the CPI for Malaysia is 40 to 49%. All that can't be accounted by law makers only .

26. That certainly shatters the unfounded esteem we have on these penjawat awam.

27. How do you fucking explain how ex civil servants can own 6 to 7 million ringgit houses? Unless they do business or inherit wealth, there is a strong presumption they are able to do so because of corruption.

28. How do you explain enforcement officers like police, immigration, customs, bandaraya officers owning fleets of luxury cars?

29. With these shenanigans happening would you rather see this reformasi government doing nothing?

30. This war against corruption, society's bubonic plague or black death needs a champion. Who better than the PM?

31. He now needs an enforcer, a justice Bao and a field general to carry out the war .

32. Let's have a ministry of integrity and integrity compliance.

33. Put the DPM in charge. He has the capacity to elicit compliance.

34. As to the civil service,just so you know I am not being mean to them, not because out of spite or envy, let me ' story' you this:-

35. According to Transparency international, Malaysia and Indonesia occupy the top 2 places as the costliest places to start business .

36. The high cost is the result of bureaucratic requirements of overzealous and officious bureaucrats.

37. As long as the doors of approval, licenses, permissions etc are in the hands of these gatekeepers, corruption is most likely to happen.

38. Why restrict the war against corruption to 3 years. It should be a permanent war .

39. Corruption does not go on leave and neither should war on it does so.

40. I can't resist saying something on Malay attitude on corruption.

41. It's both farcical and hypocritical.

42. In general, Malays are always looking to accord leniency to the corrupt.

43. For instance look at the Najib case. The Malays, especially the UMNO people are preoccupied with exonerating Najib instead of anticipating harsh punishment for the plunder.

44. In the case of Ismail sabri, the Malays appear ready to treat the plunder lightly.

45. In both cases,the Malays appear ready to sacrifice principles with convenience.

Reformasi dan korapsi bah 1. Sontoloyo series no 30.

1. Korapsi membawa mudarat kepada negara. Ia mencederakan golongan miskin terutama sekali.

2. Ia nenaikkan kos2 perkhidmatan atau services seperti kesihatan serta pendidikan.

3. Ia menyekat pelaburan yang mengurangkan peluang kerja.

4. Ia membantut pertumbuhan ekonomi.

5. Korapsi melebarkan jurang antara kaya dan miskin.

6. Sebagai contoh, tidak kah kita hairan melihat bekas2 penjawat awam mempunyai rumah 15, 16 juta?

7. Yang miskin duduk rumah sewa, flat2 serta gobok2 usang?

8. Simpanan saja tidak dapat menerangkan jurang ini. Yang menyimpang dengan tekun boleh beli rumah 1, 2 juta.

9. Yang super kata dan membuat bisnes bisa buat mahligai.

10. Tapi bagaimana bekas penjawat awam , pegawai2 kerajaan, general dsb menerangkan pembelian rumah sampai belas2 juta?

11. Kecuali mereka mendapat income extra melalui dishonest serta fraudulent ways.

12. Bila kos memulakan business tinggi akibat korapsi, pelaburan mengurang atau pindah lain tempat.

13. Ini menyekat pertumbuhan ekonomi serta penyibaran ilmu, sains dan teknoloji etc.

14. Kehilangan peluang perkejaan untuk rakyat menurun.

15. Lihatlah, contoh2 yang diberi menunjukkan betapa korapsi is a most heinous crime .

16. Di setengah negara, korapsi bawa hukuman mati. Indonesia memikir untuk bawa hukuman mati. Dinegara2 lain penjara masa lama serta rampasan semua harta.

17. Mengapa kita tak guna variasi prinsip falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus?

18. Bohong satu bohong semua menjadi korap satu, korap semua?

19. Rampas harta.

20. Corruption is anywhere and everywhere ialah menerima serta memberi sesuatu of value untuk mempengaruhi keputusan. Atau ia menggunakan posisi mendapat something of value dengan fraudulent and dishonest ways.

21. Semua nya unlawful.

22. Tapi di Malaysia, strange things are happening.korapsi jadi elemen budaya dan terdapat koruptor dimuliakan serta di idolakan.

23. Korapsi jadi sebagian dari hidup, di tolerate serta dianggap new normal.

24. Lebih mendukacitakan dan menghancurkan sampai ke tulang belulang, ialah perihal yang disogok dan korap, di mulia2kan serta di idolakan.

25. Semua ni bertentangan dengan moral imperatives kita. Sebagai orang Islam, tentu bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam mengenai nya.

26. Yang melakukan korapsi ternyata rosak moral mereka, dalam erti kata tidak boleh membezakan benar atau Salah atau tidak peduli benar atau Salah

27. Yang melakukan korapsi tidak pernah minta maaf. Politisyen yang melakukan korapsi akan hanya menafikan nya .

28. Kelompok korapsi mengalami sakit jiwa. Di ubati dengan muhasabah serta counseling dalam jel, bukan rumah.

29. Korapsi adalah perlakuan immoral yang betray public trust serta norma2 masyarakat f or personal gains .

30. Moral code yang kuat yang melibatkan keinginan memelihara public trust serta norma2 masyarakat seperti accountabily adalah benteng terkuat menyekat korapsi.

31. Sebaliknya apabila imperatives moral codes ini melemah, berlaku korapsi dimana kepentingan umum di tenggelami kepentingan personal.

32. Maka timbul pula satu persoalan penting yang menggoncangkan keyakinan saya terhadap bangsa melayu ini bangsa par excellence.

33. Yakni, observasi bahawa dinegara kita, yang melakukan korapsi, kebanyakan nya adalah melayu.

34. Mungkin Hal ini tidak menghairankan kerana 90% lebih penjawat awam adalah melayu , Maka jumlah perasuah tentu ramai.

35. Atau mungkin, dan ini yang membimbangkan serta menggelisahkan kita, bahawa sekatan2 moral dan kekangan ajaran agama Islam, dikalangan perasuah tidak kuat bahkan melemah.

36. Maka kita janganlah liar mata serta melolong kata bahawa moral orang melayu dan pegangan ugama mereka kuat .

37. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

38. Janganlah kita pour scorn, derision dan ridicule keatas komitmen Anwar melawan korapsi. Dia kata jerung dahulu diikuti ikan bilis.

39. Itu je saya tak setuju. Jerung atau bilis, corruption is corruption is corruption. Ente melawan budaya korapsi, pak sheikh.bahan semua.

40. Dia kata akan Ambil masa 3 tahun lawan korapsi. Masa tersebut menunjukkan betapa korapsi adalah barah yang mengganasi setiap body politic negara kita.

41. Saya taknak dignify dakwaan kata Anwar puji firaun. Kalu kita tak faham sarcasm, there is nothing much we can do .

The Reformasist, the Revisionist and the Reactionary. Part 2. Contrarian essays no 15

1. I think it was in an interview with Charlie Rose, the great lee kuan yew said 2 things determine the political longevity of the leader .

2. It depends on whether the people have faith in you and whether you keep the promises you made .

3. To the 2 factors I would add 2 more. The team to carry out your agenda remains whole. And the bind that ties your political allies remain strong .

4. I would assess the performance of Anwar Ibrahim a long these lines.

5. As to his morals I am not equipped to it. Others who think themselves as moral paragons can do that .

6. In one parliamentary session, tengku Abdul Rahman said. 'let those who have not sinned, cast the first stone. '

7. No one stood up except Mr opposition, tan chee koon. I, am no tan chee koon.

8. In my mind, Anwars ability to keep faith in the people has taken a beating.

9. He is no longer seen as the shrieking change agent, the man who is supposed to change the ways of the status quo.

10. Perhaps that exuberance is constrained actually by his UMNO DNA.

11. His father was an UMNO MP and his mother , a wanita UMNO.

12. He had a bourgeois upbringing. He rebelled as far as permitted and allowed by UMNO.

13. He really was just a smoked salmon socialist and a limousine liberal.

14. A gauche caviar or a Gucci communist. Somebody who champions the downtrodden, but enjoys the lifestyle of the upper and privileged class. Just an act

15. In his younger days, his rebellious 'excursions' were given religious sanctions , by abim a religious organization peopled by middle class young people with religious consciousness amidst crass worldly pursuits

16. Today,the PKR people must work tirelessly and in earnest to turn the one time bourgeois excursions into real passion .

17. Otherwise, PKR and Anwar are seen as fake act. Not only PKR retains the status quo and business as usual ways, PKR people become the people they initially despised and loathed .

18. I have mentioned many times what Frantz fanon warned us. The oppressed becomes the oppressor.

19. The PKR people are impatient to become the novue rich, business grabbers, rentier and rent seekers, abusers of positions, downright corrupt operators .

20. The captives become the captors, the slaves become the masters, the disposed becomes the aquisitor.

21. It's a vulgarised political Stockholm syndrome. The kidnapped develop sympathy for the kidnappers. The PKR people secretly want to become UMNO crooks .

22. As for Anwar, instead of becoming the itenerant reformist in the sense of dismantling the old ways one after another, he has become an apologist for them.

23. He has given 1001 reasons to give the tortoise treatment to reformasi. Perhaps he's waiting for the stars to align in a particular way or for the feng hsui master to give the greenlight.

24. We will be discussing anwars vacillations under several headings. Economics, politics , judiciary and the pathetic eradication of corruption. That will be discussed in the next part of my article.

25. I won't pull any punches in criticizing Anwar. Like I said , I don't want Anwar to be a one trick pony.

26. The PKR people better not take the need to keep Anwar within the guard rails of reformasi, lightly.

27. If Anwar falls, many of you will bite the dust. Some of you will even go to prison. Please be mindful of that.

28. I will continue to be a devil's advocate to point out PKR's and Anwar of the errors of their ways. I am not a PKR member and am not a threat to anyone in PKR. Nor can I be expelled for being a bitch. Unlike a Mr Loh Pee Jee.

Reformasists, Revisionists and the reactionary. Part 1 . Contrarian essays no 13

1. One year into the tenure of Anwar Ibrahim, a friend of my brother asked him to ask me, whether Anwar will still be PM come the next GE.

2. Without hesitation, I said yes. Pak Sheikh as he is known to many, showed a lot of promise .

3. The majority of us had faith in him as the change agent. Undo the doing of government business, doing business the usual way. We had faith in him to carry out what Machiavelli said, ' I am not interested in preserving the status quo, but in overthrowing it. Isn't that reform-ising the old ways?

4. He made many promises that were pleasing to our ears. Reduction of electricity tariffs, reduced cost of living, cheaper oil, weeding out corruption and so on.

5. He had a determined team to carry out his reformasi agenda.

6. He was able to bind the OG( the original gang, not gangster) to his cause- DAP and AMANAH) . When he formed a government, others from Sarawak and Sabah joined him. Even the forever opportunistic UMNO for relevancy issue and for self preservation reasons, joined him .

7. Yes, for these reasons, I had no hesitation then, to say Anwar will continue to be PM after the next GE.

8. Now, I find it increasingly difficult to defend him. I have to eat humble pie not to see power has an edifying effect on PM's political longevity. The person asking my brother that question, has some doubts about Anwar's staying power- political that is.

9. Still, I refuse to believe and don't want Anwar to be a one trick sensation.

10. That's why I am disappointed, especially after the exit of Rafizi and gang in PKR's leadership, Anwar is surrounded by lackeys, pliant people, yes men, apple polishers and the like to downright reactionaries .

11. There will be no one bold enough to remind Anwar to remain steadfast to reformasi ideals. Not the thuggish home minister, not the powdered pompadour communications minister, the uncle tom-ming characters and never the singing female canaries. Nurulizzah does not feature in at all.

12. Let's place these characters in the context of reformasists( I prefer this term than reformists) revisionists and reactionaries. See how they fare.

13. The reformasists are those who are determined and single minded wanting radical changes in the business of government. The difference between them and revolutionists is the way of achieving them. Reformists seek change through the ballot box while revolutionists seek change by violence and bloodshed.

14. Reformasists seek power through ballot box while to revolutionists, power is through the barrel of the gun .

15. Revisionists started out as reformasists but for the edifying and corrosive effects of savouring power, they start to balk and vacillate.

16. They start giving 1001 reasons to delay reformasi. That it needs time and must be done step by step or dare I say, in and out. Although the in and out motion , to me refer to some other pleasurable pursuits!

17. They achieved this stalling of reformasi by verbal semantics or verbal gymnastics.

18. You know how some people can convince you that he's holding a pomelo instead of prickly durian. Birds flying up high can come eat from their hands. Or through their verbal artistry stimulate giggling girls into getting orgasm. Wow!
