Curiouser and Curiouser says Alice. WE are entering BN's Rabbit Hole.

I will address the following issues.

1.   Zahid’s obsession with the plot to overthrow the PM and Government

2.   PM Najib says he is elected by the people- yes, as MP not PM.

3.   Aziz Kaprawi’s monumental stupidity. How on earth such a person of this quality can be made deputy minister. The PM must be mad.

Zahid’s tangled web is being weaved.

Let’s begin with Zahid.

Curiouser and curiouser.

You will see how the story about the dismissal of the errant government and its Dear Leader, is becoming bizarre and more bizarre. 

Or like Alice in her Wonderland, Alice, after eating the cake that is labelled eat me exclaims, it is becoming curiouser and curiouser.  By the day we might add.

When Alice ate the cake , it made her a "telescope" up to 9 feet tall. Hence her reaction "curiouser and curiouser."

So when we ate the cake labelled overthrow the government hook, line and sinker,  we all become telescopes more than 9 feet tall.

The whole story that is built around the fiction of ‘criminal overthrow’ becomes curiouser and curiouser.

the use of the phrase.

The phrase is used in irony or with a sarcastic manner. It is used to describe and defend the conduct of the boss when it is clear that the boss is operating in a completely different level of reality than others are.

PM Najib, our Dear Leader, is operating in a completely different level of reality from the rest of us.

Because of the -er on "curiouser" the phase also implies that one is being drawn further and further into some bizarre world or circumstance where one is an honest observer to the odd and even maniacal behaviour of others. The ‘others’ being the PM and his band of defenders who ae detached from reality.

Illicit money or forbidden money becomes legitimate and halal.

It is similar to the fictional term ‘donation’ to what looked increasingly as laundered money.  It became curiouser by the day, because we accept the term donation.

So everyone builds a story around the term donation. Each layer or lies is added on the previous ones. An ant hill becomes a mountain.

Dismissing the errant PM and government using legitimate and lawful means.

It is the same about the term overthrow the government.  By illegal means added to it. If we indulge Zahid and build a layer of lies on the layer of previous falsehoods, what is a perfectly legal means to dismiss the errant PM and his government, Zahid's storyline becomes the official and true narrative. Yet the story began with a flight of fancy on the part of Zahid Hamidi.

We must resist being manacled by the web of deceit. Let us all remain as honest observers of reality and courageous enough to state the reality. 
Zahid wants to stay relevant by inviting people to debate and discuss his take on the attempts to kick out the PM. His ‘take’ is the cake labelled plot and overthrow. He sees it as a plot. He wants to criminalise the actions of the MPs. 
The opposition doesnt see Zahid as a stumbling block- he may in fact function as a catalyst to speed up things. We have to write about the conduct of the DPM because we don't want to see his story line going unchallenged. Otherwise, the story line takes the character of a Goebbelsian propaganda. 

Zahid says his narration is based on solid intelligence reports.

To add credence, he says he received highly credible intelligence police report. I thought he told everyone, he got information from a person sitting in a particular meeting where the plot was hatched.

Then the person must be one of 2. My own intelligence sources, which are as good as Zahid tell me that only 2 people have the instruments to secure allegiance from the MPs.

The instruments being the statutory declarations and the list containing the MPs- all from UMNO who want to do the right thing by removing the chief menace to our country’s health. That bogus Dear Leader bugis warrior.

But then again, wait a second. On the evening he met Dr Mahathir alone, only he,  Zahid, sat in the meeting with the chief plotter. So Zahid must be a co-plotter.

If we indulge Zahid and start glossing and mulling over the plot, very soon it becomes a self-fulfilling flight of fancy.  Then indeed we have to tampal koyok and salonpas on our foreheads.

But let us remain calm and collected. No need to pull our hair or roll over the floor with legs flailing. That would be discriminatory to my colleagues from Serdang and Segambut. They have no hair to pull.

Let us not also roll up our sleeves like Sharizat once attempted to. What if some ladies get carried away and roll up their sarongs and skirts up?

 I am afraid small children will get nightmares that night. Spare our children.

how to dismiss a sitting government.

The cold facts are as follows. Other than a general election, a sitting PM can be removed in a number of ways permitted by law and parliament. But  Zahid adds some diabolical twists to his defence on the bizarre conduct of his boss. He is free to attack against the ways in any manner he wishes. But let us remind him- he must do it also legally.

He starts by declaring that to move a no confidence motion has suddenly become criminal. MPs discussing with one another on many issues involving the idea of dismissing the PM is criminal.

Which is all balderdash.

What if there is a person of some standing being able to convince an appropriate number of MPs to declare to the Agong that Najib has lost the confidence of parliament? That would be perfectly legal. It is now the law of the land.

There is no law preventing MPs to unite in a common cause.

It could be 25 MPs as indicated by Rafizi. We will have a simple but no so comfortable simple majority of 113. Or it could be 123 as indicated by Kit Siang. 

It does not matter. But of course the scenario assumes all 88 non BN MPs will vote Najib out.

When reminded that the Perak government was thrown out in the same manner, Zahid Hamidi added a racist twist to it; he says the move in Perak was necessary because Nizar then was controlled by evil DAP and therefore by ungrateful Chinese. 

Apa lagi Cina mahu?

So let us ask him- out of the 88 non UMNO MPs, how many are Malays? The majority are.

Let us suppose for a moment, a person of some standing is able to secure support from all the 88 non BN MPs and from 25-35 BN MPs most of whom are Malays,- this person especially if he is from UMNO, will lead a combined group of MPs consisting in the majority of right thinking Malay MPs.

That is good, no?

Now suppose again, this person forms the next government with the majority of cabinet members being Malay, wont that preserve the political reality of Malaysia? It will be reflective of the demographic reality of Malaysia. Indeed, that person will be able to reset the political balance.

Now  we understand why Zahid is acting incoherent. It is necessary and mandatory for Zahid to criminalise whatever plans the MPs have. He has to invite the public to build a layer of lies over previous layers of falsehoods.

we say thank you but no thank you to Zahid.

We, the people and the MPs drawing strength from the reservoir of right thinking principles, will decline his invitation. Thank you Dato Zahid but no thank you.

The opposition’s desire to take out the PM is no secret. It must be taken as a given.

There is no plot. Dr Mahathir has said it clear ages ago. It’s no secret that he wants Najib taken put from the premiership.

It’s a question of how to do it. We can move for a motion of no confidence. That will be in October 2015. Or we can elect to vote against the budget. If the bill is defeated, Najib is out.

Or we can play the numbers game. Suppose the BN suddenly finds it has a total of 100 seats or less which means the MPs not in BN make up the rest with 122 seats. BN is out.

Tis the season of taking out people.

The PM needed an expert on security to be physically present in his office. So he transferred or rather takes out an irritant, the deputy director of the SB to his department.

Everyone then says, the expertise of the deputy director is needed in the PMO.

PM Najib has acquired a fetish of taking out people. He disbanded the special task force consisting of the 4 tan sris. He sacked his onetime servile AG.

He caused the transfer of officers from the MACC. He caused the expulsion of officers in the AG department. He showed the previous director of the SB the exit.

Of course, he sacked the previous DPM. By the way, the decision to sack the previous DPM was made while the PM and Zahid Hamidi and Hishamudin were in the Holy Land performing the umrah.

How is it possible that evil plots can also be formed while on holy pilgrimage? It must be a pilgrimage prompted by unholy thoughts.

The Office is under extreme threat. Of course it is. That was why the PM needed a personal donation of RM2.6 billion to combat ISIS terrorists. Er-no, the donation was for party funds.

After a short while, maybe after RMm600 million was used, the party funds aka donations were transferred out into Singapore. The exit of the money was Okayed by the Bank Negara Malaysia.

But wait, isn’t taking out money an act of economic sabotage? RM2 billion was taken out contributing to the downfall of the Ringgit. That was economic sabotage. Was it treacherous or was it treasonous?  Maybe the ‘lawyer’ Saleh Said Keruak can answer.

The minus point the deputy director has is he is a staunch supporter of Dr Mahathir. Dr Mahathir is his idol. 

Najib wants nothing of that. Najib wants to cut off the flow of information to Mahathir.

If that is his objective, then Najib must be prepared to transfer dozens of other expertise holders to his office.Everyone goes to me Dr Mahathir. Even his current deputy.

I doubt the deputy director is a security expert. Some planted element must have sent out a message declaring this director will spill some dirt on Mahathir and what did he do?

He declared that he wuld rather be dammed by God than betraying Mahathir. He is AFFIRMING that he is indeed Mahathir’s source of information.

Nor very cleaver is it? And he is an expert on security and intelligence?

Najib has made a habit of sacking or transferring all those who discovered that he actually has committed so many probably illegal things that he has to take out people.

Well, the people are watching. They are demanding their MPs do something. They now demand, their MPs  take out the PM and his pliant cabinet. A cabinet consisting of mostly sycophantic and self-serving individuals.

MPs Cannot be Subjected to the Brutish Bullying of the Home Minister.

It’s a numbers game. It is normal and played out in parliaments across the world. But the reaction of the DPM who is also Home Minister is excessive.

The DPM has issued many threats. He is sounding more like a bully. He wants to determine what an MP can and cannot do. He is issuing bald-headed threats.

Is he abusing his powers? PDRM is a servant of the people not a private security firm belonging to the Home Minister.

Today the duties of an MP are no longer confined to his or her obligations to parliament (such as participating in debates), constituencies and party.

They have an added responsibility among others to ensure the elected government governs responsibly. MPs understand that a mandate obtained from voters is not a license for the executive to do as he pleases. 

Only to some people, a mandate means they can plunder, pillage and receive gargantuan donations.Then they pay people money and also spend more than USD1 million on credit cards.

A mandate is really a will of the people exercised through the MP insisting the government to govern responsibly.

When there is so much widespread political abuse and upheaval brought on and about by an incompetent government and its equally inept leader, it becomes necessary for all democratic thinking members of the August House to reappraise their duties. They will come to a point where they must rise above partisan boundaries and consider the interest of the nation first and above all things. If they do that with conscience and giving due recognition to the voice of the people, they will come to the inescapable conclusion that they must band together and seek the lawful means available to them to dismiss the government and its leader.

That was what the old man from UMNO is doing. Gently persuading MPs across the political divide that they must band together and use lawful means available to dismiss the Najib government. We are not in the business of toppling governments by violent means.

Why can’t an MP propose a vote of no confidence? That is perfectly within the rights of an MP. Why can’t an MP solicit support for a cause from fellow MPs? That is also an inalienable right of an MP. And they are not against the law.

Exciting things happen every day while parliament is in session. Such as entreating fellow MPs to join a caucus. Mind you- these are not timid and timorous souls easily given to mere cheek-kissing and back-slapping social fraternisation. Not easy to convince a fellow MP to associate him or herself to a cause.

 And if that caucus leads to the migration of MPs on the other side to switch allegiance, that is also not illegal.

In dishing out silly but threatening statements to MPs, our DPM is showing that he is abusing his powers as a minister of the crown. He says he has handed proof and evidence to the police on the alleged moves by an old UMNO man to remove the PM.

Since when is the business of parliamentarians become police business? The suggestion by Lim Kit Siang for the IGP to butt out of the legitimate business of MPs is deservedly pertinent.

Unless of course calling for a no confidence motion, entreating MPs to cross over to join a common cause- the present common cause being the dismissal of the errant PM have become criminal offences. Have they?

Then Zahid is employing an old and discredited technique in destroying opponents and social dissenters. In the olden days, American authorities commit blacks to mental institutions to lock them out; Zahid is trying to criminalise the legitimate rights of MPs.

If he does so, we the people charge you, Zahid Hamidi of committing a most heinous disservice to the practice of parliamentary democracy.

He has told the nation of an old umno man going around collecting SDs to show the PM the exit. That is legal.  It is allowed by the law of the land.

The federal court has affirmed it in the dismissal of the Perak government. Therefore it is hypocritical of the dpm to shout illegality and behaving alarmist about such a move.

Whether such a move is morally reprehensible or not, does not matter. It is the law of the land.

This was followed by the exposure of the identity of some 20 BN MPs as those who want to jump ship. Pity them. They have to come out denying. Some made police reports.

But they must realise what an ogre DPM they have- they now know the DPM who is the minister in charge of the police is a big bully.

But they may also now command a high price. They should be thanking the blog that exposed them. They will now be approached by generous donors wanting to give them a few million Ringgit to stay on board.  A brotherly donor would be even better.

I must ask some of them to belanja.

So once again, we ask- Is he abusing his position as a minister of the crown, asking the police to investigate on purely legitimate and legal deliberations by MPs?

As to the growing demands by the UMNO people to seek the exit of their president, we are not at all interested.  But please do it quickly. Show that UMNO cares for the country.

Remember Anuar Musa? Its not that I love so and so less, but that I love this party more. No need for you people to know Shakespeare- it’s sufficient just to be Shakespearean. Go on- say it’s not that you love Najib less, but it is only that you love this country more.

As MPs we have the right and privilege to deliberate and discuss among colleagues on the conduct of the ruling government. That is a right to be jealously guarded and defended. That right and privilege cannot be subjected to the brutish bullying of the Home Minister.
