A bourgeois for Pandan. Devil's advocate series 45.

1. Bagus lah PMx jadikan Pandan sebagai anak angkat. Walaupun ada orang yang mempersenda serta mencemuh 'imagine' PM menyatakan- anak pondan anak saya.

2. Sayang dia lantik seorang pondan politik menyelaras Pandan. Atau mengganas disana

3. Bukankah dia pondan yang tewas di Kuala Selangor?

4. Menda yang boleh ditawarkan oleh sorang loser kepada rakyat Pandan?

5 . Kita sangka PM akan hantar panglima perang. Tapi sang panglima dah buat langkah nan sumbang.

6. Ternyata zafrul tidak ada sifat mati ditengah gelanggang, bukan tidur dihujung gelombang, bukan yang tak kenal tunduk layu dan bukan yang tak kenal air mata. Nahi nahi!

7. Dia seorang bourgeois yang berbeza sangat dengan seorang reformis. Kenapa pilih dia?

8. Bawak ke Pandan budaya UMNO budaya keangkuhan,kesombongan serta cakap besar

9. Istihar bahawa tugasnya memastikan Anwar terus jadi PM. Orang buat parti baru kena nanti jadi PM 20 ke 30 tahun. Menunjukkan dia tidak lebih sorang apple polisher apa bila kata tiada 

siapa boleh ganti Anwar.

10. Zafrul dan kita bercakap lain bahasa
Dia bercakap bahasa khayalan
Kita bercakap dibumi nyata
Khayalan dan nyata bertemu jangan.

11. Anwar terus jadi PM bukan lah tanggung jawab encik seorang, ia tugas rakyat serta PH, terutama PKR.

12. Ia bergantung pada kejayaan Anwar sendiri mengekalkan kepercayaan rakyat bahawa dia reformis tulin.

13. Ia bergantung pada melunaskan janji2 yang dia buat.

14. Ia bergantung pada orang2 yang dia ada dikeliling nya

15. Melihat pada zafrul seorang loser serta pondan politik, good luck to Anwar

16. Melihat pada kesediaan PKR pilih zafrul sebagai pemantau, it's obvious PKR melihat nya sebagai lampin boleh buang.

17. He's dispensable. Datang tak menambah, pergi tak berkurang.

18. Bukan pemantau tapi seorang yang bakal di pulau.

19. Menanti 20 atau 30 tahun bukan bidang zafrul. Dia bukan clairvoyant. Hidup ini sentiasa throws a curve ball towards us .

20. Siapa yang menghakimianwar sebagai tiada bandingan? Zafrul?

21. He thinks highly of himself then.

22. Ada kah rakyat Pandan mahu bertuankan orang yang bawak budaya UMNO, sombong serta angkuh, seorang political transvestite, a bourgeois like zafrul?

23. Agar tuhan melindungi kita.

The areas for reformasi. Part 1. Devil's advocate series 41.

1. This is a bloody wrong move. You think you have contained Rafizi by attacking him ad hominem

2. By attacking him ad hominem, hurling insults, cursing him, dismissive of him and clutching frantically at trying to get the 10m bond, the PKR people are acting as losers already.

3. Rather than doing all these, better be more resolved to carry out the reformasi agenda

4. Not shouting reformasi as slogans but knowing what it entails. The overthrow of the legacy laid down by decadent UMNO

5. Remind yourselves of the Malay saying, yang dikejar tak dapat, yang dikendung berciciran

6. A bird in hand is with than many in the bush

7. You have been inundating the social media with calls to give Anwar another term

8. It's not Anwar for another term but PH indefinitely. Anwar rises with the PH ride la bodoh

9. For now, let's put meat on the bones of reformasi and more meat later.

10. Not just arresting the corrupts, thieves and robbers but also send them as special guests of the government.

11. Don't be itchified into saying, as long as you get the money you are not interested in jailing them

12. That's a bourgeois and genteel sense of justice.

13. In China they shoot the corrupt, in south Korea they execute them , in Saudi Arabia they cut off their hands. Here we want to put them under house stay vacation? Good Lord!

14. I am disillusioned with many of the PKR people and the keyboard warriors

15. Many of the PKR haven't the guts to expand what reformasi means and what reformasi they want to carry out.

16. As such I consider them just a cabal of crony carpet beggars feeding off Anwar.

17. And Anwar is too nice to demand excellence from them

18. They and the keyboard warriors who flood the social media with unsubstantiated exhortations to do this that to Anwar are just people with faux mentality

19. Pretending they are ethically superior as to direct people to blindly support brother A.

20. Without doing much more like expanding the meaning of reformasi, the people don't give a shit about how you behave.

21. People remain in the dark about what is reformasi other than knowing they are shouts choreographed by the speaker with the mic .

22. Tell la what reformasi means and which areas yoú want to reform

23. Maybe the things you tell people are not all politically correct, but they served as elements in the roadmap of reformasi.

24. Here are the areas in which I desire reformasi to take place. You may not agree with them . This is a democratic country . Everyone is entitled to their oopinion

25. The 1st area is economics. I want the pick and choose winners economic model to go.

26. This PCW model has been widely practised beginning in Dr Mahathirs era

27. It probably stems from the belief that the way economically forward for the malays depends on the creation of a catalyst group.

28. Following this belief , the PM and bureaucratic brahmins searched and chose cronies(for want of a simpler term) to drive Malay economy forward.

29. So people not necessarily because of their competence but more because of their cunningness and willingness to do anything will be picked and chosen.

30. So you have people who can kneel and cry,who can kiss the hands of benefactors profusely will be chosen

31. Long before Bush snr coined the term voodoo economics, we have been practising it .

32. It is hoped the picked and chosen will get to be super rich and consequently, their kindness will trickle down onto others .

33. Well, the trickle down did not happen. What happened were drips of economic benefits.

34. One consequence of this PCW model was the creation of a class of economic brahmins and economic dalits

35. The irony is, these picked and chosen are hailed as heroes and models by the Malay lumpenproletariat.

36. This PCW model appears to be perpetuated till right now. The picked and chosen are given licenses, monopolies and contracts .

37. Reformasi in this area requires a tectonic shift in our mindset.

38. We need to do away with the PCW model, the way forward laid down by UMNO

39. Isn't the 1st step of reformasi is the overthrow of the status quo.
bequeathed by UMNO?

40. As reformasists, we must adopt the Zaaba way forward for the Malays and malaysians

41. Which is, we develop a treasury of endogenous competencies,, compete freely on a level playing field.

42. We eschew all the exogenous assists , preferential treatment, affirmative policies and self confered special rights.

43. We must be serious about reformasi. Reformasi is not like songket weaving, drinking teh tarik or eating pasembur, or doing batik canting. It's the surgical overthrow of the previous system.

Tempest on PKRs shore. Devil's advocate series 40.

1. PKRs greatest liability now is it's secgen. Her over eagerness caused PKR to forfeit the 10 million bond from the famous 2.

2. She makes it worse by waiting ayoyo amama, lapijiji and Nik have left

3. This is a person who rushes to judgement, is overwhelming and subject to ' premature ejaculation ' .

4. Remember the political faux pas she did during the sabah elections?

5. She unashamedly went to announce, we have the numbers to form the next government.

6. By right, the secgen of hajijis party should have announced it

7. Once again, her 'premature ejaculation ' got the better of her

8. Immediately on Sunday, she issues a letter expelling the famous 2

9. The famous 2 on the other hand said they intend to quit the party and intend to vacate their parliament seats

10. She on Sunday, the notorious 2 on Monday and Tuesday

11. It's Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to remember

12. So she expelled first, following which the notorious 2 vacated their seats and quit the party on Tuesday

13. By expelling the 2, she forfeited the 10m bond.

14. Her own stupidity, rushing to judgement and premature ejaculation caused the forfeiture

15. This is the aspect I am worried about rather that the 2 taking over Bersama

16. It's the fact that bro Anwar is surrounded by mediocre talents. Not people with a reformasi state of mind

17. It's sad that shouts of reformasi are reduced to rabble rousing slogans.

18. Now I know why Machiavelli said, the 1st test to estimate the intelligence of the leader is to see the people he has around him.

19. Anwar is surrounded by nincompoops, careerists and perhaps chair throwing crowd .

20. It's useless to hurl insults at the two, curse them and view them in contempt.

21 . Whatever we do, the 2 will do whatever is necessary to garner support

22. It's better for the PKR people to focus and be more determined to carry out the reformasi agenda.

23. Not just shouting reformasi reformasi till you are blue in the face, but to put meat on the bones of reformasi.

24. Seems to me ,that is the only way you compete with Rafizi. It's Anwars reformasi vs rafizis reformasi

25. It's not that I support Rafizi less, it's just I don't want Anwar to be a 1 trick pony.

Counting the costs. Part 1. Devil's advocate series 33.

1. The priority isnt attacking Rafizi. Saving Anwar is the number 1 priority.

2. Going to Invokes office to ask Rafizi to quit politics is a bloody waste of time. Just to get 5 minutes of Fame. 

3. Hardly anyone remember their names. 

4. The weren't part of the rolling on the roads crowd during the reformasi demo. 

5. They thus don't have even an iota of locus standi to ask Rafizi to quit . 

6. Exerting energy especially on the material between their ears on saving Anwar is better than focusing to kill off Rafizi 

7 . It looks like they are using the tool between their legs. 

8 . Similarly, other PKR reality deniers are also doing the same -focusing on Rafizi instead of saving Anwar and PKR itself 

9. This is a case of being penny wise but pounds foolish. 

10. They should focus on saving Anwar most noticeably from himself, keep him within the guard rails 

11. Will these people, with the same intensity, vigorousness and bravado asked Anwar to stop being the loquacious reconteur? 

12. Isn't there anybody brave enough to tell Anwar to be calm and collected, cool and behave more statesmanlike? 

13. Not to be snappy, shortfused, scolding people when they asked controversial questions. Calling people stupid, ignorant or book reading lazy. 

14. Are we looking at the other side of anvar ebraheem ? Sometimes arrogant, condescending and behaving like he's the smartest person on God's green earth? 

15. Addressing these personality traits of supreme leader is more important than watching Rafizi shit in Invokes toilet 

16. Why don't the uncle founder of PKR, the activists and PKR reality deniers looked at these? 

17. Rather than peeping tomming on Rafizi? You can get a hordeolum or stye (ketumbit mata) doing this. 

18. I have talked about the determinants of political longevity many times. Let's talk on operational matters. 

19. Instead of confronting Rafizi why not smoke peace pipe? 

20. Sure, it's no stroll in the the park, but worth trying. 

21. You people have expended great enterprise on demonizing Rafizi, you can do the same to patch things up. 

22. Isn't keeping PKR whole be your primary concern? 

23. How about addressing the dangers confronting PKR? 

24. I have already said about political Longevity. No need for belaboring to the obvious. You are smart people although you like spending time at karaoke joints. 

25. Take for instance pressures by many, that the post of PM and FM ought not be held by the same person? 

26. It becomes a PKR problem because the PKR president holds both. 

27. Hussein onn, being the soldier that he is, said one useful caveat 

28. You shouldn't be fighting on many fronts. That makes the PM susceptible to allegations of conflict of interests. 

29. As PM he can override decision made by his subordinates. But can you see the PM overriding himself? 

30. That could land the PM to accusation of power lust. It may lead to revulsion of PKR people. 

31. Isn't that more potent than the threat caused by Rafizi? 

32. Rafizi isnt the poisonous brew, perception of the people on PKR is.

The people around the PM. Part 2. Devil's advocate series 32 .

1 . I am baffled at the attitudé of the PKR yahoo boys.

2. The term yahoo boys stuck when once upon a time, a business college entertained a PKR leader 

3. After dinner they went to a karaoke joint. Upon entering the joint, the first thing the PKR leader did was to yahoo on top of his lungs. 

4. From then on, I have always referred to some PKR people as PKR yahoo boys . Jangan marah ye! 

5. These boys are currently preoccupied with demonizing Rafi at every turn 

6. Some went to invoke office asking Rafizi to leave office while others are berating him on everything on earth. 

7. Rafizi is the bete noire, more irksome than Adolf akmal. 

8. These fart faces should be focussing in needling Adolf akmal. 

9. But more importantly they should be focussing in talking about the reformasi agenda. The way forward with PKR and reformasi. 

10. That would persuade people why they should give reconteur Anwar another term 

11. Hey fart faces, if Anwar does not succeed to go another term, you all are quickly forgotten. Some of you may even end up in jail. 

12. Destroying Rafizi ought not be your first agenda . Explaining what reformasi you want to carry out is more important 

13. Keeping the faith of the people that you are reformists is more important. That you interested first and foremost to overthrow the status quo laid down by UMNO 

14. Working boldly to remind Anwar to keep the promises PKR made. 

15. You should be explaining why TOLL has not been removed. Why PTPTN is still around . 

16. Why is SST replacing GST. Why is the cost of living generally going up? 

17. Most excruciating is why has the price of petroleum products not gone down? 

18. Is this happening because our government is bangang run by kakitocrats? 

19. Why are political appointments to GLCs still going on? What happened to the promise that education will be free? 

20. Why are prices of eggs and chicken increasing? 

21. Why is lynas still operating? What happened to the promise Azam Baki will be immediately cashiered? 

22. What happened to the promise that senior citizens be given 150 a month? 

23. What happened to the promise that 1 million jobs will be created? 

24. These are more important issues to address than crucifying sdra Rafizi. 

25. You will help to substantiate why nana ought to be given a 2nd term. 

26. Sure Friar Tuck Rafizi is a spectre haunting PKR. 

27. But to exorcise it is not by spraying garlic water on Rafizi but keeping the promises made and keep the people's faith in you as reformists. 

28. Not PKR yahoo boys rivaling UMNO's dangdut youths 

29. If you don't prioritize your angst, our beloved supreme leader sama2 dengan you will go under the water.

This avenues for potential corruption. Devil's advocate series no 26.

1. The government wants to pick and choose economic winners.

2. It wants to create a cluster of the novue rich 

3. It gives out contracts, licenses, monopolies etc 

4. Unfortunately these are also potential avenues for massive corruption by the grand mafia 

5. Grand mafia being the collusion between political masters and very top bureaucrats 

6. This GF must be distinguished from corporate Mafia (CM). A term made infamous by sdra Rafizi Ramli 

7. This is collusion between corporate scumbags

8. Scheming, machinations and manipulations of the share in public listed company 

9. With approval from the SC, Trade ministry or finance ministry 

10. Must also distinguish from the deep state (DS). 

11. That is collusion between high government officials and the business community. 

12. The GM, CM and DS are avenues for massive corruption 

13. They 'circumcise' the monetary outlays and budgets for government projects. 

14. After retiring they get to buy 10 to 15 million ringgit bungalows. 

15. They get comfy on their asses, we get buttfucked 16. Hence to reduce corruption greatly, eliminate the GM, CM and DS 17. Do an accurate and lifestyle audit on these people 

18. But our attitude towards corruption, especially the attitude of malays towards it, is ambivalent 

19. In china, they execute the corrupt. In south Korea they shoot the corrupt. In Saudi Arabia, they cut the hands of those who steal. 

20. But in Malaysia we are horrified. The plunderer gets discounts on jail sentence and fine. They can even agitate for house arrest. 

21. That's why petty thieves sentenced to jail are frantically looking for an addendum document. 

22. And it doesn't help justice when the PM says he is not interested to jail criminals as long as he gets the money back 

23. When lee kuan yew says the man who rules Singapore must have the iron in him, can easily be translated as the man who rules Malaysia must have the iron in him too. 

24. Otherwise what do we have? A bourgeois and genteel sense of justice?

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.

Zombie Economics. Devil's advocate no. 8.

1. I have to say this. It's uncomplimentary of the PM. But who cares. I am not PKR so mdm SUA can't issue any show cause letter. I am a Malaysian.

2. Who doesn't want to see Malaysia regress to a kleptocratric state again 

3. Previously under 1mdb,now maybe under bestinet or nexG? 

4. Some people heap accolades on anvar ebraheem. He's the best FM and the bestest economic manager of our country. Blah blah . 

5. I beg to differ, politely sir 

6. Any economist, not only I, will dispute his or his people's claims about good financial governance. 

7. I have my version of the K-percent rule as regards budget deficit and tax refund arrears . 

8. These 2 versions shatter the myth and the hollow claims on good financial governance. 

9. I found the answer given by 'Tom Selleck' Amir Hamzah, the 2nd FM not convincing at all, when Rafizi raised the matter . 

10. Our deficit to my mind should be set around 4% of our GDP. 

11. That's fine and dandy. Except our GDP is not our true GDP and therefore our deficit is not our true deficit. 

12. But because we have included tax refund arrears as revenue in our national accounts aka budget, we have a spurious budget . 

13. Assume the true income is 100b. But because we have included tax refund arrears as realized income, our spurious budget becomes say, 150b. 

14. 4% of 100b is 4b while 4% of 150b is 6b . Hey presto, we have a deficit of 6b . 

15. We borrow to meet the deficit. But we tell people, don't worry-the incremental compared to that incurred by previous administrations is less. 

16. About the incrementals, these are of interest to a academicians in colleges and those busybodies who like to split hairs. 

17 . The majority of people don't give a rats ass of attention to the incremental . All the know the public debt is 1.3 trillion. What are doing to decrease it substantively ? 

18. The point is you can't. Not as long as you include refund arrears in our GDP. 20,30b. 

19. A spurious GDP will lead to a spurious deficit. 

20. This is where a spurious deficit gets interesting. It can be the hotbed for nefarious and mendacious activities by nefarious bureaucratic brahmins. 

21. The spurious deficit can hide these rapacious activities. 

22. It can be used to find bailouts, fund wasteful projects, provide cheap loans to crony companies. And the PM getting no wiser about it. 

23. We can't discount the possibility of these bureaucratic brahmins skimming from the top. 

24. It proves what Milton Friedman says, we are excellent at spending OPM. 

25. Therefore my concern of the deficit isn't confined to it just being an exotic subject shattering the myth of claims of good financial governance. 

26. But more concerned as to the deficit being used to conceal corruption activities by bureaucratic brahmins and politicians. 

27. Aspire to wholly exclude tax refund arrears in the GDP or keep it the barest minimum. Aspire also to achieve a true deficit 

28. I am not holding this back- but I suspect our GDP and our deficit are heavily doctored by bureaucratic brahmins and creative bean counters. 

29. These dishonest people are running circles around our PM who's more interested in reading novels by Vaclav Havel and Gabriel Garcia 

30. The other component of good financial governance is managing the tax refund arrears. 

31. Keep it to the minimum say 2 or 3b instead of 10b and above. An impregnated tax refund areas would only shatter the claims of good financial governance, Sir!

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.

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?

Balancing things up. Rafizi v the PKR media troopers. Devil's advocate no 3.

1. At the moment, I am indifferent as to the kerfuffle between Rafizi ramli and many PKR second echelon leaders. I suspend my judgement for the time being.

2. Let's say at the moment, I am eclectic;, i.e. listened to all views. 

3. But when I see 10 people walloping 1 fellow, I cannot tahan. 

4. Call it lopsided mental bullying .I have to come to the rescue to restore balance. Left like that je, it's unfair . 

5. Further, call it the natural propensity to help out the underdog. 

6. Mr Rafizi or loh Pixi is a formidable debater. Except he can't be defending against 10.people at once. 

7. There appears to be an orchestrated blitzkrieg on Rafizi. 

8. Suddenly nondescript PKR cabang heads seem to be directed in calling Rafizi to leave PKR. 

9. And everybody seems to sing in unison, that Rafizi is a failed leader. 

10. Even the defunct faekah, who hardly anyone remembers has been given a political mouth to mouth resuscitation, comes out from the political backwaters to piously proclaim that what Rafizi is going through is kifarah. 

11. Suddenly the peasants who are hardly religious now wear the kopiah and chime in kifarah, Farah,rah.,... 

12. But pray tell, what are the elements of the kifarah? 

13. Rafizi has been making continuous expose' appreciated by right thinking Malaysians. He quits his minister ship. The investigations on the ARM deal is a bloody waste of taxpayers money and will just be a wild goose chase. 

14. So what is the kifarah are we talking about? 

15. As to the PKR boys getting their 5 minutes fame wouldn't it be better if they ask PKR to sack Rafizi who is losing hair battling the PKR machine? 

16. Many of you ganging up on 1 fellow, suggests there are hidden hands directing the blitzkrieg. 

17. This is an 'unvaliant' conduct on your part. Indeed it's villainous. 

18. But there's nothing new about the conduct of these NEP beneficiaries. 

19. Accustomed to being given handicaps, they expect to be given the same when battling Rafizi the riot Ramli. 

20. Rafizi has only the internet to come across while they have all the media industry . 

21. Just like the beneficiaries of the NEP, they can't battle Rafizi on a level playing field but must have their handicaps 

22. It is out of a sense of fair play that I have to balance things up.

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.

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.

What is to be done? Sontoloyo series no 54

1. I saw an opinion that says what PKR needs now , is to bring back Rafizi. He's a master strategist. The maestro.

2. To me, this is a knee jerk response , following the grievous loss in the Sabah elections.

3. Rafizi may be the acclaimed strategist that he is made out to be. But I assure you, his inclusion in the mainstream of PKR politics , is not the panacea.

4. PKRs problem is more chronic that they can be settled by the miraculous inclusion of brother Rafizi

5. How come people shy away from discussing the role of the new PKR leadership, especially the role of hajjah Nia?

6. More importantly, people shy away from discussing the role of the supreme leader, Kim jong Anwar?

7. Aaww, don't be bashful. Expose PKRs weaknesses like how authorities expose 200 men making happy time at a gay wellness center in Chow Kit .

8. If PKR thinks it's fortune depends on the presence of miracle shamans like Rafizi et.al. it's grossly mistaken

9. Most of the time, the presence of miracle workers fuelled the spirits only. In actuality, they are just paper tigers.

10. The team of Saifuddin Nasution and nurulizzah was hailed as the PKR dreamteam. The team failed miserably

11. Ouf of the 6 seats PKR contested, it won 1 only, half of a tombstone. That ought to be an ominous signal for PKR.

12. If you depend on the presence of miracle workers, proselytizing workers, you are leaving everything to chance, luck of the draw , toss of the dice

13. You are hoping, out of the bumper crop, there will some stud crops. That's a tall order

14. Coming up with palliatives ex post only serve to ease the pain of losing .

15. The fact is dear sirs and madams, more than the presence of Mavericks, you can't replace grunt work, elbow grease and hitting the pavement , to get desired results

16. The same with the DAP. That , I will write a separate article. Never in the history of DAP, has been so humiliated.

17. As to the PKR, Saifuddin must do his arrogant shuffle and nurulizzah must move her skinny ass.

18. What happened in Sabah may we'll be replicated in the peninsula. It's a loud wake up call .

19. The PKR leadership must move around the entire country to re-orgnize the PKR shocktroups

20. PKRs weak link has always been it's grassroot outfits. The PKR leadership must shaped them into forms, reorganize them, make them more people friendly

21. Do not treat party ranting or cabang meetings as just social togethers or opportunities to minum teh and makan kuih

22. They must be purposeful and results oriented

23. The problem is, many of these PKR people suffer from the edifying effects of being in power .

24. Many lose their idealism, become soft in the underbelly, become arrogant and cocky

25. I have had dealings with PKR people at PM office. They are arrogant, aloof and dismissive. We are mere peasants , so they think

26. Humility must always be reminded. Hello, PKR is in power because of cooperation from amanah and DAP and other Johny come lately.

27. Constant reminder of this fact, should bring these PKR bozos down from cloud nine.

28. Reinventing oneself is both necessary and sufficient

29. I repeat, the road of success requires elbow grease, hitting the pavement and grunt work. Never rely on a variation of the strongman argument, that success requires the presence of miracle workers.

30. Shorty Sam must be given a role on PKRs resuscitation. He must have a team, go around the country, reinventing and repurposing the shock troops.

Gado gado politik( political smorgasbord ). Sontoloyo series no 43.

1. Rafizi has to stop hunting with the hounds and run with the hare.

2. He has got to give clear smoke signals to the people. 3. Gives clear messages to the people as to where he stands.

4. Gives the people a clear choice between his reformasi and anwars reformasi .

5. A few years ago, I remarked to a friend when he was still in PKR the following:-

6. Rafizis many exposes were informative and explosive.

7. He risks being a mechanic -he dismantles a lot of parts but it's possible he does not know how to put them back.

8. I hope he does or that his people do .

9. His continuous exposes now, shows that he has broken ranks with Anwar.

10. As the Malay says, berpatah arang berkerat rotan.

11. He should now asks his people to form a political vehicle so that he goes on board when the time comes.

12. Sediakan paying sebelum hujan. 13. He has to get his ducks in a row, locked and loaded , ready to rumble.

14. We must consider Rafizi as a PM in waiting after Anwar.

15. Are we not tired of hearing the names of old cocks as the next PM after Anwar?

16. Tiring names like Zahid 47,puffy mahiadin,the drunk Indian look of KJ- all remnants of the previous status quo?

17. Rafizis reformasi will be a blitzkrieg reformasi, determined and single minded .

18. That, to be carried out by people with a reformasi state of mind.

19. Not by people who have the mentality of doing better the business as usual ways.

20. Better money making projects, stealthier skimming at the top, craftier corruption etc

21. Take the jalur gemilang badges as an example of conventional thinking. Wouldn't it be better if the minister looks at the quality of school canteens and cafeteria?

22. And the supply of hygienic and clean food to our students?

23. Or to ensure all hostels have coin operated laundry services?

24. To ensure real reformasi, Rafizi must ensure reformasi minded ministers .

25. Rafizis reformasi will be uncomprising and lightning fast. 26. That's because he has no historical baggage. Meaning he doesn't know many of the miscreants .

27. There will be no time for plea bargaining or that kind of rubbish.

28. UMNO people and those accustomed to Under table dealings will oppose the Rafizi type of reformasi.

29. Anwar type of the radioactive word reformasi is more measured, circumspect and at times ,seemed hesitant.

30. It's more leisurely like making embroidery,doing a painting, drinking teh tarik or eating pasembur or nasi kandaq beratoq.

31. This slow motioned pace of reformasi may be due to several reasons.

32. The cases created by the miscreants are more complicated than as thought. They require careful and meticulous investigations

33. The miscreants have a lot of monkey tricks. Legal filibusters, appeal after appeal, cock and bull stories and grandfather tales. It may take 20 years for the court to rule the antelope is actually an elephant.

34. Then there are the PMs genteel sensibilities. That,may explained the slow motioned pace of reformasi

35. Two things here. Take corruption for example. He has said he's not interested to jail the corrupt. He's more interested to get back the money.

36. He has also said that he has been. In jail . He doesn't want others to suffer the same ignominy.

37. That 2 things fall into the realm of private morality. They run counter to public morality.

38. Public morality is concerned with what is good for society as a whole.

39. Private morality ought not be imposed on public morality

40. What happens in Sg Long stays in S Long.

41. To adrenaline charged people, half insertion is no penetration. Just fingering

42. Partial reformasi is no reformasi. Alang2 seluk pekasam, biar sampai pangkal lengan.

43. Unless the PM declares at the onset , that his reformasi will be carried out in stages.

44. That would rule out the impatience of the speedy Gonzaleses.

45. You choose which type of reformasi is to your liking. One that is good for the country.

46. Do not let yourself be influenced by the smarmy writeups of the dime a dozen cyber warriors.

47. Yes, the writeups by the just reached puberty cyber solders and those caught up in their delayed phallic maturity.

48. I am not making the thing about phallic maturity, up. It's a term used by Sigmund Freud in elaborating his Oedipus complex. B. UMNO is a fake.

49. Do not be deceived into thinking that UMNO's interference in the Sungai baru issue is motivated by honourable reasons.

50. Such as defending Malay rights, protecting malays from threats of marginalisation and so on .

51. UMNO is probably motivated by reasons of self preservation and wanting to stay relevant for Malay votes .

52. The bumiPutera rights they are defending are the rights of the Putera in bumiPutera.

53. Really, UMNO is scared of 2 things .

54. Malays changing and developing critical and independent thinking.

55. And malays detaching themselves from being dependant on UMNO.

56. If these 2 things are lost, apa UMNO ada?

57. It will be walking out with their hands covering it's balls. 58. So , they would rather see malays living in squalid hovels and be dependent on UMNO for infinite small improvements.

58. UMNO is happy to see it's hired guns calling themselves dragon queen or damsel in distress, crying.

59. These people would rather want male dentists putting their tools in their ( the girls) mouths. Or crying with joy because of being entered.

60. So, enough of your drama. We can read your BS!

The Rafizi Question . Sotoloyo series no 9

Ianya tidak memberi saya kegembiraan menulis article ini. Saya mahu melihat PKR utuh. Tapi ia mesti mengekali iltizam dan kesungguhan reformasi. Dan ia melakukan bloodletting yang perlu. Demikian ada nya.

1. Setiap kali saudara Rafizi membuat pendedahan mengenai serangan dan ugutan terhadap keluarga nya, kita kian menghampiri tahu siapa dalang sebalik serangan tersebut.

2. Atau boleh agak siapa dalang nya. Modus operandi serangan ini ada kesamaan dengan cubaan mengsabitkan Yusuf rawther supaya Budak tu mendapat hukunan yang lebih teruk.

3. Dalam Kes usop, dalang telah plant incriminating evidence yang kalau thabit , membawa musibah lebih berat ke usop.

4. Dalam Kes Rafizi,dalang ugut nak bubuh satu bahan yakni aids virus yang boleh datangkan musibah yang fatal .

5. Dalam kedua Kes, commonality nya ialah bubuh bahan yang bahaya.

6. Kaedah bubuh bahan yang bahaya, mestilah datang dari dalang yang berfikiran dan berpengalaman sama.

7. Jadi saya rasa, polis jangan selidik Kes Rafizi berasingan tapi bersekali dengan Kes usop.

8. Besar kemungkinan didalangi oleh orang yang sama. Sebab modus operandi bubuh bahan yang bahaya, adalah sama .

9. Dalam pada itu yang sangat mengecewakan saya dan saya rasa hampa, ialah sikap menteri KDN.

10 . Membisu seribu bahasa, lidah kelu tidak berkata

11. Ianya refleksi yang cela keatas kobolehan dan competence menteri KDN.

12. Dia seperti tak tahu nak mula mana. Hingga kini tidak ada lapuran sdibentangkan. Bila weh?

13. Tahun depan? Kita nak lapuran keatas kejadian serangan keatas keluarga Rafizi semalam, la samdol!

14. Benarlah seperti saya katakan - seluruh badan menteri KDN sama nilai dengan separuh saja otak Ghazali Shafie.

15. Harap perubahan yang berlaku pada dia ialah henjutan gaya dia berjalan dan mata mata kita terjojol macam mata fadlina tengok dia dah pakai velllfire.

16. Baru2 ni dia diperintah mahkamah bayar 670k pada MB Kedah.

17. Saya tak ejakulasi awal kata, tengok kerajaan tak campur urusan mahkamah. Iya lah tu wok!

18. Yang tarik perhatian saya ialah macam mana dia bayar? PKR bayar bagi pihak dia?

19. Kalau dia bayar sendiri, kita boleh agak agak sumber nya. Menteri PKR 2x5 dengan menteri2 dulu. Atau ikut kata menteri pelancungan, Kong kali Kong .

20. PKR jangan syok sendiri. Apa terjadi kepada keluarga Rafizi, juga refleksi cela keatas PKR.

21. Selain Anwar Ibrahim selaku 'presideng' PKR,kepimpinan PKR yang lain membisu.

22. Seolah olah mereka tak kisah apa berlaku keatas Salah seorang Dari mereka sendiri.

23. Seolah olah mereka berkata,padan muka kamu Rafizi, suka dedah sangat.

24. Wah! Parti guling2 atas jalan,baring depan truck FRU-yakni parti unruly behavior, tak kisah lawlessness berlaku atas ahli mereka sendiri.

25. Ia boleh bermakna, dibawah PKR,more lawlessness boleh berlaku.

26. Termasuk kecederaan yang lebih teruk termasuk asasinasi politik.

27. Nampaknya keadaan antara Rafizi dan PKR dah sampai tahap berpatah arang, berkerat rotan.

28. Kritik demi kritikan, pendedahan demi pendedahan dilakukan oleh Rafizi yang mencederakan PKR, tidak mengundang response yang wajar.

29. Ia membayangkan PKR tak ada discipline parti dan tak punya harga diri. Makcik SU parti dah pergi haibernasi, agaknya.

30. Take the bull by it's horns , madam. Kerana gross insubordination dan breaches of party discipline, Rafizi perlu dipecat. Jadi pecat dia .

31. Mungkin makcik SU teragak agak kerana berbuat demikian akan menyebabkan 8-9 MP lain pun keluar parti. Dan ramai ahli lain turut serta .

32. Dan yang lebih merunsingkan lagi ialah PKR tinggal sekitar 20 orang MP.

33. Ia nya sesuatu yang tidak me 'gumbirakan' PKR untuk ia berdepan dengan PRU16.

34. Mungkin atas sebab2 ini PKR is stopped in it's tracks dan tolerate bad boy Rafizi.

35. Jadi apa seterusnya? Nak buek camno?

36. Ia bergantung kepada Rafizi.

37. If the mountain won't come to Mohammed, then Mohammed must go to the mountain.

38. Rafizi mesti istihar keluar PKR. Baharulah kebimbangan nashushiyon bahawa saya risau kita akan kehilangan Rafizi jadi kenyataan .

39. Bila itu terjadi sudah pasti ramai MP ikut serta Rafizi. Demikian juga terjadi exodus ahli2 PKR.

40. Tapi apa nak risau. PKR ada ramai lagi pemimpin yang ' berkalibar'. Hajjah NIA ada, amiruddin ada, ramanan ada dan ramai lagi .

41. Baharulah kita akan lihat pertembungan anak2 jantan secara terbuka. Rakyat berpeluang pilih siapa lebih baik .

42. “Apa tanda si anak jantan, Matinya ditengah gelanggang, Tidurnya dipuncak gelombang, Makannya ditebing panjang, Langkahnya menghentam bumi, Lenggangnya mengipeh semak, Tangisnya terbang ke langit, Esaknya ditelan bumi, Yang tak kenal air mata, yang tak kenal tunduk kulai".

The Judicial Hocus pocus. Contrarian essays no 19.

1. You all can see the farce of it all. Rafizi may have initially raised the issue of judicial appointments. He called for a RCI.

2. The issue was hijacked. Embellished, amplified and exaggerated. It was given more prominence than it should.

3. Political parties, NGOs, the lunatic fringe, Anwar haters have escalated the issue calling it a crisis .

4. The latest, I see is the formation of a secretariat. Headed unofficially by centenarian Dr M .

5. But Dr M must come to equity with clean hands.

6. When doc M sacked tun salleh abas and other justices, that event was more of a crisis then the present one.

7. Then , he was more interested to have as CJ a malleable person who would agree to his gentler requests .

8. If Dr m wanted a pliant judiciary, what makes anwars conduct, if he advises the JAC any different?

9. Which makes the hastily creation of a secretariat like a pot calling the kettle black.

10. The present case in which we see, slowness in naming a CJ and other federal court justices, hardly constitutes a crisis.

11. Do we see the sky falling down , people dropping off in the streets and rampaging?

12. Hello, cost of living going up, prices of food skyrocketing, cost of utilities, petrol, lack of FDI, growing national debt are crises .

13. No secretariat for these nor were there for a corruption free judiciary, secretariat for stiffer penalties for corruption, no house arrest and so on .

14. The weaponisation of this issue, ie using it as an excuse demanding that Anwar steps down is politicising it.

15. The amplification, embellishing and exaggeration of the issue are done by the UMNO portals and other portals specializing in the spreading of lies and misinformation.

16. By the way isnt ,the thought of demanding that Anwar steps down , just by gratuitously asking him to do so, is an UMNO way of thinking?

17. Isn't asking things for free, free loading and believing UMNO people are entitled to get what they demand, is UMNO way of thinking?

18. So when groups, NGOs, political parties and now a secretariat ask Anwar to turun, just by verbally asking , they are actually following UMNO footsteps?

19. You think you can get something automatically and entitled to, without exerting efforts and sacrifices?

20. Have you all heard of the saying, popularized by the great economist Milton Friedman, there's no such thing as a free lunch?

21. In general, you don't get something without efforts and sacrifices.

22. In this case, not by talking cock and screaming demands.

23. Do something substantive like organizing nation wide protests, moving a motion of no confidence or winning an election.

24. You think by just talking, scratching balls and marching hand in hand you get, hey presto, the mamak padukang steps down ?

25. In an earlier article, I said I am prepared to accept a judicial Phillips curve.

26. That is, Anwar by any conduct such as having a Tete a Tete with the JAC, manages to install a CJ and other justices, the judiciary carries out a number of 'suchs'.

27. But I doubt the new judiciary will carry them out as Anwar appears intent at preserving the bourgeois status quo .

28. Apparently hes not the reformasist, we think he is. He's a LV liberal after all.

29. The only way to knock some senses in him is for you to exercise your options at the next GE. Ada butot?

30. Finally and this my opinion only, the judicial institution is not worth over protecting and over championed of.

31. It has enough highly intelligent people to take care of themselves through their artful arguments.

32. The judiciary is not a sacred cow institution we think it is. There's data showing that the incidence and prevalence of corruption there is highest, higher than even the legislature

33. It's better to organize lawyers walk for a corruption free judiciary or walk for merits based judicial appointments. The secretariat does the same too.

34. Also I think many of these organisations now talking about judicial independence are a big bloody farce and are duplicitous.

35. Just suppose that Anwar, suffering from temporary non compos mentis, appoints a non Malay CJ.

36. You can be sure that many of these groups talking sanctimoniously about judicial shit, will make a big ruckus.

37. Doctor m will say , see the Anwar government is dictated by the DAP.

What is to done? Let me story you ( biar saya cerita pada you) Contrarian essays no 18.

1. I won't talk about defending the lofty ideals of independence of the judiciary and defending the ideal of judicial appointments. Others more qualified than I, can talk about that .

2. I refuse to weaponise the present judicial uproar to hit at the mamak padukang who on every Friday will be in a well dhobi prayers attire.

3. There are ample grounds with which to wallop Anvar Ebraheem. Breaking the faith of people believing him as a change agent, the many promises not kept, the betrayal of reformasi and so on .

4. The judiciary as an institution isn't worth over defending and protected. It's not the sacred cow as we think it is .

5. Corruption is rampant and the cancer is also ravaging it.

6. I hear the lawyers through their brown shirted organization will do a walk for the judiciary.

7. I'd rather participate in a walk for a corruption free judiciary, or walk for the affirmation of the rule of law and supremacy of the law, or lawyers against house arrest and the like.

8. But as usual, these lawyers who think highly of themselves, will organize a walk in support of some hazy cause and expect the people to support them! Up yours!

9. It will be a circus. After the walk, some will adjourn to the Selangor club and other watering holes , drink copious amounts of beer and engage in table thumping debates.

10. Others will adjourn to some cafes, sipped latte and also engage in animated debates. A lawyers job is done isn't it?

11. That's the conduct of the cafe latte socialists, the Hampstead liberals, the LV and Limousine liberals, the smoked salmon and gauge caviar leftists, the Gucci communists and the Birkin bitches.

12. We don't like the changing of the guards. Since it does not follow a set of rules which WE think it ought to follow it must be wrong. Itu maciam?

13. Type B justice and grade C egg standard judges replace type A justice and grade A egg standard judges, we don't like it. Can that transition be called a judicial crisis?

14. If we don't like it, move a motion of no confidence against Anwar Ibrahim or punish him accordingly in the 16th GE.

15. Its a lot safer for me to stick to the politics of the issue.

16. I have told that PKR can do 2 things. Sack the renegade 9 or does nothing but eat humble pie .

17. What the renegade 9 did amounted to gross insubordination and actually is a revolt.

18. The only option opened to PKR,if it has honour, self pride and amour propre, is to sack the renegade 9 .

19. As it turns out, PKR chose to swallow it's pride and does nothing except strenuously and unconvincingly say, it accepts the conduct of the renegade 9 with an open heart

20. How artificial and farcical this response is. If that conduct was carried out by a stray member, that person would unhesitatingly be kicked out of PKR. This was done by Rafizi and gang, all MPs. So it must be treated gingerly .

21. PKRs reaction confirms me that it is a pondan party. No self respect, no honour and no amour propre.

22. It can only u ashamedly say , we accept with an open heart. We are a party that celebrates difference of opinions. FU la.

23. It's like the victim saying to the rapist. Do whatever you want, but do it gently - I am still a virgin. See, I open up my legs. You will get abused anyway and will be repeatedly.

24. Please forgive that macabre analogy. Please ladies and gentlemen.

25. You will notice a number of things wrong with PKRs response .

26. PKRs response was made by a member of its politburo. By the thuggish and fart faced home minister.

27. Not by any of the VPs or by the newly minted DP.

28. Two things can be read from there. First, Rafizis criticisms are treated as trivial . That being so, Rafizi can respond with more toxic criticisms.

29. Let's see how open hearted and magnanimous PKR is .

30. 2ndly, Saifuddin is so thicky, he doesn't realize he's an expendable material.

31. If anything goes wrong with his response, he will be blamed for it..what if now the component parties of the unity government come out with their criticisms?

32. Would PKR still be open hearted and remains a party that celebrates difference in opinions? Tiu kaw!

33. Eventually and ultimately, PKR would have to sack the renegade 9. It has to do this to show it's a party that has discipline, self respect and amour propre.

34. And Rafizi and gang will not be rushing to join the reactionary parties like UMNO, pas or bersatu. Rafizi once shook hands with me but refused to do so with azmin following that, giving the excuse his hands are dirty. But he just shook hands with me.

35. Rafizi and gang will remain as independent MPs. He won't be curtailed in any way in his criticisms.

36. In the meantime, it would be prudent for Rafizi to ask his friends who are already members of any political party to form a new political party.

37. To get ready a vehicle to participate in the 16th GE.

38. PKR would have to send someone to pacify and persuade Rafizi. Who can it send?

39. It cannot send Kak Wan who will be regarded as guilty by association. Nor can send the new PKR leadership which will be regarded as too antagonistic.

40. PKR cannot send DAP people whom Rafizi does not trust. He has said so previously.

41. It can only send AMANAH people. Not bang mat whom Rafizi regards as a buffoon and a court jester .

42. The only 2 people whom Rafizi respects are possibly Dr dzulkefli and Khalid samad.

43. That's why I say the array of choices available to Rafizi are so numerous that they eclipse the intrigues of a Cao Cao and the brilliance of a Zhuge Liang.
