The Deity of Providence- UMNO and The Captive Malay Mind


When you travel along the Seremban highway you will see so many large posters of Najib exhorting the people with his usual sloganeering- Sejuta Impian , Seribu Keriangan. For slogans he got an A++ from Tun Daim. Translated loosely it says, A Million Dreams, A Thousand Happiness.
Where do these dreams and happiness come from?  Look at the posters closer. The posters tell of the basic building block on how UMNO sees itself. UMNO sees itself as the omnipotent being from where all providence spring from. Hence UMNO wants to be deified to whom the people, rakyat owe complete loyalty and allegiance to. It therefore doesn’t understand why people, most notably Malays find UMNO revolting.
This is what Najib doesn’t understand. People no longer accept ascriptive stature without demanding more than just your name and position. Beyond your name and position, people want to know what can be achieved. People look out out for achieving qualities. What have you achieved and what policies can you offer to achieve the greater good. Otherwise, you can put all the behemoth sized posters along the highways, people will just regard it as another way the government spends money like its theirs.
The posters showed they( dreams and happiness) emanate from the office of the PM.  Everything comes from the government and Najib. His portraits make him look more and more like the Korea Kims by the day. He has certainly shown his dark side by unleashing the repressive forces during the Bersih 3.0 recently. How can a leader of his country, allowed the police to fire tear gas and water canon on his own people. What kind of PM can describe people as accursed bastards?  
That is why Najib goes around saying lu tolong gua, gua tolong lu and, give me your nambikei. This is the fundamental flaw which Najib commits every time he relates to people. He is pictured as the larger than life figure, the office of the PM is in the background hovering and towering over the mass of people depicted as the rakyat with the dreams and the hope for happiness.  The rakyat, people, my fellow citizens, my fellow Malays are always depicted as smallish entities, numberless digits.
Najib is a leader of the government that sees the rakyat as digits to be manipulated and shaped at will. He might as well say- my fellow slaves, ask not we your masters can do for you, but  ask what you can do to enrich and make us more powerful. Najib’s government is that collection of individuals who exercise the rule of the government over its constituents.  Who is that collection of individuals? They are that collective of the elite and powerful. What do they do, every day and time of their waking life? We can call UMNO by an name now- kleptocracy, oligarchy, plutarchy.
Najib preys on the susceptibilities and gullibility of the rakyat. The rulers claim a compassionate kindred with the common workers (aka slaves) and simultaneously enjoy the fruits of the labors of these menial serfs, also known as "my fellow citizens, rakyat, people" etc.  So Najib goes around claiming, its people first, achievement this and that.
But the posters tell you a different thing. People are always second. Achievement is a distant objective. The immediate objective is to secure unquestioning loyalty because the leaders are who they are and not what they can do.

So when you look closer at the posters next time, you will see them coming alive and saying ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country. You will see that Najib is really saying - Ask not what the elite and powerful can do for you -- ask what you can do for the elite and powerful.

Tunku Aziz's exit from DAP


It offends UMNO that Malays choose to join DAP. Why do the action of Malays joining another legitimate political party which is not UMNO, induce that feeling? The answer: It springs from arrogance and political xenophobia. Najib apologized for this inbred arrogance a few months ago. 

UMNO is the chauvinist party that sees people who reject it ( for whatever reasons they choose) as a betrayal to UMNO. That is what offends UMNO actually. They can’t understand why people can be `disloyal’ to UMNO. UMNO expects Malays to be loyal to it- but what principles and values does it offer that can sustain the much desired loyalty? What is UMNO's purpose that cant be done by any other political party better?  If not DAP, PAS for example? Who can perform any worse than how UMNO does at the moment?

UMNO arrogantly believes that an UMNO Malay is the only Malay. So it offends UMNO to see Malays abandon UMNO as though, the Malay has converted into another race. UMNO is fast adopting the Hassan Aqidah Ali mentality. 

Next it offends UMNO not being able to see an exodus of other Malays from DAP. Suddenly UMNO has credited Tunku Aziz with some extraordinary attributes that must without fail, encourage other Malays to leave DAP. Alas, Tunku Abdul Aziz is alone. UMNO’s hope that Tunku Aziz’s action can serve as the catalyst prompting other Malays in DAP to do likewise crumbles. Indeed, Tunku Aziz’s action reinforces the determination of Malays who joined DAP to stay put despite his  u-turn. 

Then it dawns on UMNO- despite them being feeble in mind, that people adopt a certain political stand not because of loyalty to a figure. Such loyalty is ephemeral. You will see that soon- as soon as Najib performs worse than Pak Lah, those fellas now tripoding Najib will abandon him like rats do to a sinking ship. 

The real issue in my mind, is not about Tunku Aziz’s departure from DAP at all. It’s all about UMNO seeing this as chance to revive its own diminishing legitimacy. UMNO thinks, by being able to cast this action as a racial thing, it regains its own lost legitimacy as representative of the Malay voice.  How many times have I said, that UMNO can’t event claim it’s representing the Malays. In 2008, UMNO candidates got only 2 million of the 5.7 million votes. That’s a clearer sign that UMNO is no longer relevant to Malays than Tunku Aziz’s exit from DAP as suggesting that DAP is not compatible with Malays. 

Like UMNO’s favorite line when interpreting Tunku Aziz’s exit, the exodus of Malays from the UMNO mother ship can only mean that Malays are no longer compatible with UMNO. If you are eager to arrive at such conclusion from Tunku Aziz’s exit, then you must apply the same line of reasoning and accordingly, conclusion regarding UMNO. Can? 

If cant, then see Tunku Aziz’s departure as it really is- the departure of one man who realizes now that changing something cannot happen within a self-imposed time frame. Just like Tunku Aziz’s sudden eureka moment that Najib’s transformation takes time that same logic must be applied to whatever Tunku Aziz wishes to happen to DAP. 

Except the problem with Tunku Aziz: - changes that Tunku Aziz wants in DAP must take place NOW, but the changes that Najib sloganizes MUST be given a chance to take place. Why not the same treatment? 

Since leaving DAP, TunkU Aziz has become UMNO media’s darling. He has been described as the Malay face that DAP can use to attract more Malays. What rubbish. Malays who joined DAP did not even include Tunku Aziz in their equation. With due respects to Tunku Aziz, he was an unknown political entity. It’s absolutely not true that DAP wanted to use Tunku Aziz as the face that would entice Malays into joining DAP. I find that offensive. The Malays who joined DAP find some resonance with the values and struggles which DAP espouses. 

If the Malays joined DAP on account of Tunku Aziz’s presence and face, the party must take steps to weed these people out. 

To repeat, UMNO is offended that Tunku Aziz’s exit did not create the opening the floodgates effect. UMNO is offended that Malays reject UMNO. UMNO’s longevity and legitimacy rests very precariously on its success to cast itself as the sole spokesman and savior of the Malays. It’s not.

If Malays don’t want to join DAP, there are better off joining PAS- the real Malay party founded on values and principles. UMNO? No principles and no integrity. It has as much integrity and principles as the plunderer and thief. It’s a sinking ship.

Why is UMNO worried at all about a handful of Malays being in DAP? It should encourage more Malays to join DAP to restructure DAP as a multiracial party. It should not stand in the way if Malays choose to join DAP. Unless of course, it’s very survival depends precisely in being able to keep alive the racist slants of Malaysian politics. Then  having an opponent composed of only a single race or even races opposite of themselves, UMNO keeps itself alive. More Malays must join DAP to serve the bigger agenda of speeding up the demise of UMNO.

Thats how UMNO is. it can only survive on the misfortunes of others. It has never  grounded its survival on the strength of its own principles and values.It Must depend on the weaknesses of others. 

Who shall look after the lot of Malays then? Why should or must it be UMNO? UMNO hasn’t improved the lot of Malays despite having and placing Malays at leadership levels in politics, in government institutions etc. Malays dominate the land offices, served as director generals of departments, become district police chiefs,  the State secretaries are almost exclusively Malays- does having Malays at these leadership positions helped the Malays? They have not achieved the desired results because the UMNO Malays helped out the chosen Malays. 

We Malays don’t depend at all on UMNO. The laws of this land, the institutions of democracy and most of all our own industriousness and work, protect us. We absolutely don’t depend on UMNO. 

My advice to Malays in DAP- don’t belabor yourselves with lofty agenda at the moment. The immediate agenda is to kick out xenophobic UMNO.

FGVH Listing- the game the crooks play



Readers who are interested in reading more vigorous analyses on FGV are advised to read Pirates of Putrajaya.  In the English  language here and in Bahasa Malaysia here. I am offering a less rigorous analysis here as I feel not as competent as the Pirate in technical matters. 
Here is what irks me and I hope it does others too. Felda settlers have given nothing but each felda household is promised and given RM 15,000 each. For what? In return for a promise to vote UMNO and BN in the next elections? And the gnome of the felda chairman says it’s not corruption. The RM 15,000 must be called as what it really is- the price of each settler as seen by the PM. Its bloody corruption.

If not,  how do you explain why the PM gives out the 15,000? Does he do it for purely philanthropic reasons?

What is it that FGV offers for sale? Remember- as the Koperasi Permodalan Felda hasn’t parted off with its 51%, what FGV offers to the public is its 49% interest in Felda Holdings. It can’t and doesn’t have the capacity to offer 100% of Felda Holdings. But you be can sure the PM and his macais are rounding up the deep pocketed boys and telling them- don’t worry boys, we will chop off the heads of the KPF leaders one by one. We will deliver you 100% of Felda Holdings.

Or Perhaps we haven't uncovered yet, the devilish plans they have in store for the  51% which KPF owns in Felda Holdings?

It’s shortchanging the investing public when it can only offer 49% of its interest in Felda Holdings and their valueless businesses abroad which did not make money anyway.
Now, Felda holdings is a different cattle of fish. It is one of Malaysia's largest, and most diversified agro-based enterprises which run the commercial business related to the Federal Land and Development Authority (FELDA), and the vast 880,000-hectare plantation land bank associated with it. It owns 360,000 hectares of land directly and manages 520,000 hectares of land belonging to settlers.

Felda Holdings became a public company on 3 October, 2003. Today, its total capitalization exceeds RM 5 billion with RM 220 million in paid up capital. It employs a dedicated workforce of almost 19,000 employees, complemented by a labor force of 46,795 workers at some 300 estates, 70 palm oil mills, seven refineries, four kernel crushing plants, 13 rubber factories, manufacturing plants and several logistic and bulking installations spread throughout Malaysia and several locations overseas.
Its assets include more than 50 active subsidiaries, associated companies and joint venture companies. It provides technical advice and support to the Felda Group. It has facilities to process rubber and cocoa products, manufacture fertilizers as well as operate several successful auxiliary businesses. Among these are IT, engineering, security, storage and logistic services.
It also does business at the international level it supplies 8% of world palm oil in 2009. It has joint-venture partnerships with large multinationals such as Procter & Gamble and Iffco. It has growing interests in businesses in the United States, Canada, Australia, China, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa.

But the most important thing to remember is this: FGV holds only 49% of all these. But they have an important partner in crime- the holder of the 1 golden share. The Ministry of Finance.

The non felda citizens of this country do not get any cash handouts. Buy they have the same stature as Felda settlers who have given nothing to UMNO and the government. So, they deserve the same cash handouts as settlers do. Why should the settlers be treated any differently? If ordinary citizens are wrongly treated they should respond the only decent way they can- by not voting in this corrupting government. 

The minister in charge of felda is going ahead with the listing of FGV. He has called those who opposed the listing as accursed bastards- haramjadah. He has described them as thick-skinned if they take the RM 15,000 inducement. By doing so, he has displayed his inherent nature which I have been saying all this while- that Najib solves problems by paying his way through. He is not a leader who inspires the citizens with ideas and ideals. 

There is a vast and barren void that lies between his ears.

Politik Mengharamjadah lwn Politik Rakyat- Bahagian 2


Bahagian ke-2.
Najib pemimpin yang mengharam-jadahkan rakyat kata dia mahu mengadap Agung. Kita kata- di persilakan. Laksanakan pengucapan tersebut. Jangan cakap kosong sahaja. Sementara itu, ramai orang Melayu sudah pun di lawati Agong $$$$! Najib dan Agong $$$$ berpisah tiada.

Cuba kita fikir. Mengapa UMNO mesti mempunyai ahli seramai 3 juta? UMNO zaman Tengku, Tun Razak dan Hussein Onn tidak obsess dengan meramaikan ahli. Zaman Mahathir sehingga sekarang UMNO mahu menjutakan ahli nya. Ertinya, UMNO sudah berubah dari parti yang yakin dan mempercayai raktyat, kepada parti yang mencurigai dan takut kepada rakyat. UMNO tidak berani mempertaruhkan masa depan nya dalam tangan rakyat. 

Maka yang demikian, ia terpaksa bergantung kepada sokongan dan undi dari ahli nya sahaja. Dengan 3 juta ahli, UMNO tidak boleh menang lawan dengan rakyat. UMNO jadi apa sebenar nya? Jadi macam pertubuhan la cosa nostra  iaitu pertubuhan gangster. 
Selain dari bergantung harap kepada ahli nya yang setia( dalam 2008, 1 juta ahli nya meninggalkan UMNO), UMNO bergantung masa  depan nya diatas jubur Saiful Bahari. UMNO mempertaruhkan masa depan nya keatas cerita seks, pada mulut Umi Hafilda, pada Nala, pada Hasaan Aqidah Ali. 
 
Itulah sebab nya, mengapa UMNO obsess meramaikan ahli. Kerana ia sedar ia tidak dapat kepercayaan rakyat lagi. Yang percayakan UMNO ialah ahli2 nya- itu pun yang berkedudukan tinggi. Yang bawah, di jadi angka sahaja dan di bakulsampahkan. 
Cuba kita fikirkan. Seorang pemimpin negara menggelarkan sebahagian rakyat Malaysia yang mempunyai hak yang sama disisi undang undang Malaysia dengan pemimpin- menggelarkan mereka sebagai haramjadah. Haramjadah dalam bahasa Melayu- anakharamjadah ertinya anak haram yang di laknatkan. The accursed bastards.  Ini fahaman lazim yang di fahami oleh awam. Saya harap takde sasterawan UMNO yang akan putar alam nanti yang mengatakan presiden parti menyebut nya dalam fahaman istilah Hindusttan- haramjadda. 
Point nya- kalau demikian, bolehlah rakyat menyebut Najib sebagai bapak haramjadah. Si haramjadah ini kena jawab dakwaan yang dia minta RM 3 bilion untuk  Perimekar SB. Dan banyak lagi si haramjadah ini kena jawab nanti. 
Mari kita lihat apa yang sedang berlaku kepada parti yang di pimpin oleh pengharam-jadahkan rakyat. 
UMNO mendapati diri nya kian terasing dan isolated. Memang benar- ia ada 3 juta lebih ahli. Tapi orang Melayu lebih ramai dari 3 juta ahli UMNO. Dalam tahun 2008, dari 5.7 juta orang Melayu, calun UMNO hanya dapat 2 juta. Bererti 1 juta lebih ahli nya sendiri tidak menyokong UMNO kerana menyedari bahawa dasar yang di bawa UMNO meruntuhkan negara. UMNO hanya dapat 35% undi orang Melayu. Jumlah pengundi tahun 2008 ialah 10.9 juta. Pengundi Melayu ialah 52% dari jumlah pengundi.
Dalam PRU kali ini, 11.58 juta pengundi akan keluar. Pengundi Melayu sekitar 55% atau 6.37 juta sahaja. UMNO di jangka memperolehi sekitar 2.4 juta sahaja. Kali ini parti yang presiden nya mengharamjaddahkan rakyat terpaksa meminta bantuan dari Mat Bangla, Mat Nepal, Mat Vetnam, Mat Myanmar dan Mat Indon untuk mengundi nya. Fakta nya, ini adalah terang terang mengkhianat negara kita. Yang berhak mengundi ialah rakyat Malaysia. Haramjadah betul- bila pendatang2 asing ini, jadi rakyat Malaysia? 
Mengapa keadaan ini terjadi sedangkan UMNO melaungkan slogan berjuang untuk orang Melayu? 
Jawapan nya kerana rakyat dan orang Melayu khususnya sedar bahawa sejak 1988, UMNO memperjuangkan kuasa totalitarian. Kuasa totalitarian ini membolehkan pemimpin UMNO dan kroni merompak dan mengikis kekayaan negara kita.  Tidak percaya?
Penghulu kroni UMNO- sahabat baik Dr Mahathir dan Muhyidin Yassin hari ini menguasai dan memiliki dengan konspirasi kerajaan yang mengharamjadahkan rakyat:-
1.     MMC
2.     DRB Hicom
3.     Proton
4.     Malakoff
5.     Johor Port
6.     Senai Airport
7.     Port of Tanjong Pelepas
8.     Bank Muamalat
9.     Padiberas Nasional
10.                        CSR Sugar
11.                        Gardenia
12.                        MPH Bookstores
13.                        Penang Port
Dan sekarang dia sedang memburu :
1.     RTM
2.     KTMB
3.     Bank Islam

Melayu terkaya ini menjadi terkaya kerana kuat berkerja dan berusaha menjadi super kroni Muhyiddin and Mahathir.  hampir semua harta dan kekayaan nya di berikan atas dulang emas kepada nya. Orang macam inilah yang akan menyokong UMNO. Ahli UMNO biasa? Hanya menyertai tepuk sorak dan menjerit hidup Melayu. Yang hidup adalah Melayu2 istimewa.
Kerana dia Melayu maka kita orang Melayu mahu berdiam diri? Sikap macam ini hanya di anjurkan oleh kerajaan pengharam-jadah yang mahu mengekalkan kuasa totalitarian nya.
Kerana orang Melayu mulai sedar, kita beri kuasa kepada puak pengharamjadah UMNO, mereka bertindak kuku besi.  Kuasa inilah yang membolehkan Muhyidin, Syed Mokhtar dan Pembina jambatan bengkok yang tak jadi, menindas syarikat Stamford Holdings di Johor. Inilah yang terjadi apabila kuasa mereka kita tidak sekat dan hadkan. MB UMNO dan kunco nya memaksa syarikat menjual tanah pada harga yang murah dan menguasai 30% dari Stamford Holdings untuk membangunkan suatu kawasan di Johor. Kalau tidak beri share and jual, maka kelulusan untuk membangunkan kawasan di tolak.
Dalam tahun 1988, ketika itu TPM  sekarang adalah MB Johor, 2 orang rakan niaga nya Syed Mokhtar Albukhary dan Datuk Yahya Taib berjumpa dengan pemilik Stamford Holdings. Mereka telah berjumpa di Singapura ( kota raya pilihan untuk crook berjumpa) dan memberi jaminan jika SH berkerjasama dengan mereka, permohonan mereka di tanggung beres. Kerjasama yang di maksudkan ialah dengan 3 Abdul yang terdiri dari Muhyidin, Syed Mokhtar dan Yahya Taib di beri hakl untuk menguasai 30% Stamford holdings. Stamford akan kekalkan 70% saham syarikat dan 3 Abdul yang menyokong parti yang mengharmhadah rakyat membeli 30% saham dengan harga  RM1,800,000 (kira2 RM3,397.50 per ekar). Syarikat kerjasama Stamford dan 3 Abdul akan membangunkan 1,766 ekar daripada  8,310 ekar Stamford.
Dan bila tanah tersebut di jual dalam tahun  1994, kumpulan orang nombor 2 parti pengharam-jadah memperolehi RM83.2 million (4622%), dari pelaburan asal RM 1.8 juta.
Inilah kesan langsung dari parti yang mahu menghimpunkan kuasa dalam tangan mereka.  Dalam menzalimi rakyat, parti haramjadah ini mengamalkan konsep 1Malaysia- cina, india atau melayu akan di ganyang.
UMNO kena faham bahawa dunia bukan berputar mengelilingi nya. Rakyat yang menentukan jatuh bangun UMNO bukan sebaliknya. Rakyat akan mengadili UMNO dan pengadilan rakyat adalah dalam bentuk mematikan hayat pemerintahan. Pimpinan rejim totalitarian pula akan di adili dan di hukum oleh institusi penghakiman dan keadilan yang bersih dan berintegriti.
Yang kena balun dan lanyak semasa Bersih 3.0 adalah rakyat. Yang kena tendang dan diserang ketika membantah hutang PTPTN adalah rakyat. Pemerintahan yang totalitarian akan menggunakan alatan dan kelengkapan penindasan untuk menekan rakyat.
Mereka yang di haramjadahkan ialah rakyat.  Dalam sejarah pertembungan politik, rakyat yang di haramjadah akan pasti menang.

Politik yang Mengharam-jadahkan lwn politik rakyat-1


Politik fascism UMNO lwn politik demokrasi rakyat. Bahagian 1.
Apa pasal kita menibai UMNO? Jawapan nya sama seperti mengapa UMNO menibai parti lawan nya. Kita membantai UMNO sebab UMNO jadi penghadang kepada pencapaian demokrasi untuk rakyat. UMNO pula menibai parti lawan, kerana meraka menghalang jalan untuk nya mendapat kuasa mutlak atau fascism. 
UMNO mewakili system demokrasi totalitarian. Rakyat mahukan demokrasi penyertaan dimana mereka menjadi equal stakeholders dalam menentukan masa depan negara. Jadi ‘demokrasi’ yang di sokong dan di dukung oleh UMNO bertentangan dengan demokrasi yang rakyat mahukan. UMNO bercakap mengenai demokrasi yang maksud nya, tidak sama dengan demokrasi yang di fahami oleh rakyat. Cara mencapai demokrasi kita berbeza- UMNO menggunakan cara fascis , rakyat mahukan cara penyertaan bersama. 
Kita semua tahu akan bahaya jika kuasa di monopoli oleh satu orang atau oleh kumpulan yang kecil. Hari ini peneroka FELDA di haramjadahkan. Esok semua rakyat akan di perlakukan serupa. Sebutan dan pengucapan itu datang dari orang yang gila- gila kuasa. Hanya orang yang gila kuasa sahaja yang megeluarkan kata2 kesat sedemikian rupa. Kita yang mewakili rakyat bukan gila kuasa, tapi kita mahu ambil kuasa dari orang gila. 
Orang yang tahu Najib yang sebenar tidak akan hairan dengan pengucapan istilah2 dari usus2 busuk perbendaharaan kata nya. Kalau di Pekan, istilah bangsat dan papa kedana sering di ucapkan. Nak jaga diri sendiri tak boleh, nak melawan saya pernah di halakan kepada lawan politik nya. Jadi istilah haramjadah bukan suatu yang luar biasa yang datang dari seorang haramjadah politik. 
Setahun yang lalu saya seringkali bertemu dan bertukar fikiran mengenai isiu2 politik dengan seorang ahli politik veteran. Beliau yang berasal dari Malaysia Timur mempunyai pandangan politik yang telah terbentuk oleh pengalaman pratikal dalam gelanggang  politik. Sebagai veteran politik yang bergerak bersama UMNO , saya merasakan pengalaman nya amat berharga untuk di gunakan supaya kita faham realpolitik negara ini.
Apa yang paling menarik ialah prognosis nya keatas politik Malaysia dan kedudukan UMNO. Konklusi yang dia sampai ialah oleh kerana UMNO itu pendukong kepada nilai2 politik TOTALITARIAN, maka UMNO sebetulnya bertentangan dengan nilai politik rakyat. Rakyat mahukan demokrasi penyertaan atau participative democracy manakala UMNO mahukan hegemonic democracy. Bila UMNO bercakap mengenai perpaduan misalnya, apa yang sebenarnya yang ia maksudkan ialah perpaduan dibawah KETUANAN nya. Sedangkan rakyat mahukan dan lebih memuliakan perpaduan matlamat( unity in purpose). 
Dan bila berlaku pertembungan antara pertubuhan politik seperti UMNO dengan rakyat, rakyat akan menang. Seperti juga mana mana pemerintahan di dunia ini, UMNO juga tertakluk kepada regime change yang di bawa oleh rakyat. Sebab itu, seringkali saya cakap, kuasa pemerintahan bersifat TOL atau LPS- Lesen Pendudukan Sementara. Kamu berada di sana, sementara rakyat haramjadah ini menyokong kamu. Apakala rakyat menolak kamu, maka kamu lah yang jadi haramjadah. 
Saya suka pandangan nya, kerana kami sama sama mempercayai bahawa dasar2 yang di bawa oleh UMNO hari ini, terutama sejak tahun 1988 adalah dasar yang meruntuhkan negara. 
PRU 13 nanti akan menyaksikan pertembungan antara pendukong dan penyokong demokrasi( rakyat) dengan penyokong dan pendukong system politik totalitarian atau fascism. Rakyat bertembung dengan system politik yang di pertahankan oleh UMNO. 
Apa yang di wakili oleh UMNO sebetulnya? Ia mewakili kepentingan golongan elit dan kroni. Ia mewakili konsentrasi kuasa dalam tangan segelintir mereka yang terpilih. Ia mewakili system pemerintahan dari atas ke bawah. Slogan Najib bahawa zaman dimana kerajaan tahu yang terbaik sudah berakhir, adalah omongan kosong seorang kaki kelentongan. Golongan terpilih menentukan apa yang baik atau tidak baik untuk rakyat. UMNO mewakili system yang mendahulukan faedah untuk golongan elit, selebih nya barulah untuk rakyat. 
Siapa yang menyokong UMNO hari ini? yang menyokong UMNO ialah yang suka kepada Totalitarian regime. Ketuanan itu dan ini dan perhambaan itu dan ini. penyokong system totalitarian yang suka autokrasi, mereka yang cenderung kepada kediktatoran, pemerintah kuku besi , komunis. Jadi UMNO yang sukakan konsentrasi atau pemusatan kuasa dalam tangan nya sahaja, hampir sama dengan komunis. 
Kenapa mereka suka jadi kuku besi dan konsentrasi kuasa dalam tangan mereka? Bukan hanya boleh mengharam-jadahkan rakyat tapi kerana kuasa untuk kaut nikmat untuk diri , keluarga dan kroni. Ini yang UMNO telah jadi hari ini.
Itulah sebab nya, UMNO mahu meramaikan ahli dan anggota parti. Sebab ia mahu kekal terus berkuasa sebagai rejim totalitarian. Jika anggota parti ramai, walaupun anggota tidak tahu apa2 dan jahil, mereka akan terus menyokong UMNO. 
UMNO yang ada hari ini bukan lagi UMNO yang di bentuk oleh pemimpin negarawan sebelum UMNO asal di haramkan dalam tahun 1987.

Durian Runtuh or Durian Mengkal?


FELDA settlers were described as “shedding tears of joy” by Bernama Online following the prime minister’s announcement today that they were to expect a windfall of RM15, 000 each following the listing of FELDA Global Venture Holding (FGVH).
Let me simplify the issue at hand. This is a bare knuckle fight between the bad guys (FGV) and the good guys (the settlers). Let’s face it- if Najib sides with settlers- he would ask FGV to issue 80% of the shares to settlers and settlers interests. Instead settlers get the smaller portion while the bulk goes to his corporate buddies. 
What did he agree to? This man who proclaims people first, performance this and that? Close to 2 billion shares are offered at RM4.65/share which will see FGVH  collecting some 9 billion ringgit. How is the earnings distributed? 60% to the minister in charge of FELDA who is Najib? 40% or RM billion to FELDA? Out of the 3.6 billion, FELDA uses 1.69 billion to pay the durian runtuh? And the remainder has to be used to pay off debts owed by FELDA such as the 3 billion to EPF? Then how much is left with FELDA to run the business that it owns? 

Is 400 million a year sufficient for FELDA to finance its operations and carry out its social responsibilities in FELDA schemes involving 220,000 people?

Only about 200 million shares were reserved for settlers and employees or an average of less than 2000 shares each. That shows rakyat di dahulukan is just all rhetoric and just glorified slogans. 1.8 billion Shares are offered to politicians, institutions, selected Bumis and so forth. 
Let’s cut through the corporate and political BS. The battleground is FELDA Holdings which is jointly owned by KPF and FGV. KPF is owned by settlers while FGVH is really a company owned by FELDA the GLC. FGV also has business interests overseas. It didn’t share the overseas businesses with KPF though. It thought it can make money without having to share with smelly settlers. They didn’t. They plotted to buy out the peasant interests by a strategy of corporate bullshitting. 
FGV is really determined to kick out the settlers. They can’t do it outright. To offend settlers is unthinkable. FELDA settlements offer UMNO and BN around 54 parliamentary seats. To offend FELDA people would hasten Najib’s journey to becoming the next opposition leader. Not that he won’t be there- his government’s ruinous public policies will ultimately install Najib as the opposition leader in the next parliament.  Meanwhile, we will let him utter- autobots! Transform. 
So they do it the `honorable’ and more refined manner. By proposing to list FGV and inviting KPF to participate. Sell the idea that FGVH has the business smarts to make more money. Bribe the peasants to agree.  Two surefire ingredients to entice innocent but gullible settlers. 
It’s a fight between the bad guys- FGV and the good guys- innocent peasants. The oppressor and the oppressed. This government headed by Optimus Prime the chief transformer sides with the oppressors. And the oppressors say they are surprised why the peasants are revolting.
The prize?  All the assets and revenue generating businesses under FELDA Holdings. Meanwhile FGVH does some businesses overseas- that part of the FELDA business which to some numbskulls gives dignity to weather torn settlers.
While FGV yield paltry numbers, FELDA Holdings generates some RM 3 billion a year. FGV gets greedy. It wants to own FH all by itself. How to? Call in the con-sultans. Devise a plan. Do a listing say the cons. The modern Hamman ( advisor to Pharoah) will kautim the Putrajaya Pharoah. 
What does FGVH do overseas besides providing the FELDA Mandarins the excuse to take long holidays with family in tow? Window shopping for Hermes bags and some imitation of Jacob jewelries? It invested in a slew of businesses- cattle rearing, technology etc etc. did it make money? It borrowed money in the first place. It lost a lot of money on its investments and has only lately shown some indications of profitability. I said some indications- because the numbers do not seem to add up. The costs of businesses are born by FELDA, the profit part is shown on FGVH’s books. 
That’s the background story.  More will follow.

Pemerintah al Malaziyah, Khalifah Umar al Khattab dan Fir'aun



Sabar dahulu- saya akan memberi ulasan keatas durian runtuh Najib kepada peneroka Felda dalam artikel yang lain. Kita beri Najib syok dahulu. Dia baru pergi ke Rompin bawak cerita kehebatan kerajaan pimpinan nya memberi durian runtuh kepada peneroka Felda. Orang Melayu di kampung2 tradisi pun ada harapan legitimate untuk terima sogokan. Orang India yang memberi nambikei kepada Najib pun ada harapan legitimate mengharapkan hujan marukku. Masyarakat Sikh yang bervishwas dengan Najib baru2 ini juga mengharapkan hujan laddu. 

Saya  gamak( cakap orang Pahang) Najib ni tak baca pun deal FGVH ni. Yelah- dia hendakkan part seronok menyampaikan wang kepada rakyat. Orang Pekan tahu apa saya cakapkan- standard Najib sama dengan standard Mat Tompel. Jika kita beri kuasa dan facilities kepada Mat Tompel, saya yakin Mat Tompel mampu buat kerja lebih baik dari Najib. Dalam bab menyampaikan duit kepada rakyat, saya rasa Mat Tompel boleh di beri rating A++. 
Tapi ulasan mengenai Felda itu dalam Bahasa Inggeris, akan di lakukan next change. 
Buat masa ini, saya nak komen mengenai isiu mutakhir. Kerajaan Najib sudah tentu tidak lebih baik dari kerajaan Khalifah ke2 Islam- Umar al Khattab. Kedua, Najib dan pimpinan UMNO lebih teruk dari Firaun. 
Ulamak yang mengelilingi Najib buat apa kita tidak tahu. Boleh jadi asyik memperagakan gaya hidup citarasa tinggi. 
Rakan saya Aspan Alias sekarang phobia hendak pergi ke tandas awam. Takut2 ada kamera tersembunyi yang di pasang oleh Mamat UMNO. Bukan sebab skendal- Aspan takut kena didedahkan aib. Takut2 orang UMNO kata, Aspan Alias cakap dan badan besar, tapi punai kecik. Punai Kecik pun akan di politikkan oleh UMNO yang di pimpin oleh Mr Transformer. 

Saya bersetuju dengan kebimbangan saudara Aspan. UMNO sekarang pakar dalam membuat filem mengenai babak dalam tandas, babak hisap ais krim, babak dalam kamar tidor. Agaknya, inilah unsur2 transformasi yang di sebut oleh presiden UMNO. 
Saya tidak mengenali Azmin Ali secara peribadi dan tidak rasa rugi pun jika tidak mengenali dia. Tapi apa yang di lakukan oleh media kawalan UMNO keatas nya, melebihi garis good tastes. Its gutter politics at its most vile. Kita tidak tahu macam mana video mengenai orang yang menyerupai Azmin di ambil. Jika di ambil, maka ianya mesti di rancang begitu rapi. Authenticity video clips itu kita tidak tahu. 
Apa pasal ular dalam semak UMNO berdiam diri , kita tidak tahu. Saya baru berjumpa dengan seorang tokoh agama bertaraf sahibus samahah bertanya akan hal ini. dia menceritakan kepada saya kisah Khalifah Umar al Khattab. Jika nak kira kelayakan, Umar tidak layak jadi khalifah atas rekod nya sebelum masuk Islam.
Setelah menjadi Khalifah, kelaziman khalifah Umar ialah meronda malam untuk melihat keadaan kehidupan rakyat.
Umar mempunyai seorang sahabat yang masuk Islam. Semasa sebelum Islam sahabat khalifah ini terkenal sebagai seorang pemabuk. Umar di beritahu oleh pembodek2 nya, bahawa sahabat ini masih lagi kaki mabuk walapun sudah Islam.
Suatu malam Umar telah membuat rondaan sekitar kota nya. Dia sampai ke kediaman sahabat nya yang di katakan mabuk itu, dan mendengar dengan jelas, sahabat nya sedang mabuk.
Umar pun memasuki kawasan rumah dan mengintai apa yang di lakukan oleh sahabat nya itu. apakala di intai , dia dapati memang benar, sahabat nya sedang mabuk lalu umar memecah pintu dan berdepan dengan sahabat nya. 
Kamu ini benarlah seorang munafik kerana dalam sembunyi kamu masih dengan tabiat mabuk.
Ya khalifah amirul mukminin, kata sahabat nya. Benar aku melakukan kesalahan kepada Allah, tapi aku lakukan satu kesalahan berbanding dengan engkau yang telah melakukan 3 kesalahan.
Pertama engkau telah mencerobohi kawasan rumah ku sedang pencerobohan rumah orang di tegah Allah. Kedua engkau telah mengintai aku sedang kan mengintai orang lain di tegah Allah. Ketiga, engkau memasuki rumah ku tanpa memberi salam sedangkan mengucapkan salam keatas seorang Muslim yang lain di suruh Allah. 
Siapakah yang lebih munafik antara kita? 
Mengintai dan mengintip perkara peribadi di larang oleh Allah. Apatah lagi tujuan intaian tersebut adalah untuk mendedah keaiban orang lain. Dalam hal orang yang menyerupai Azmin Ali, ketulenan video clips pun belum kita sahihkan tapi UMNO telah menjalankan gutter politics yang lazim mereka lakukan. Mendusta dan memfitnah adalah keperangaian kedua UMNO. 
Berbalik kepada pemimpin UMNO dan Najib yang lebih teruk dari Firaun. Dahsyat sunguh kerajaan Mr Transformer Optimus Prime. 
Firaun tahu identiti ibu nabi musa. Dia tahu ibu Nabi Musa menyusui Musa semasa bayi. Firaun kenali juga keluarga nabi Musa yang lain.
Tapi apabila Nabi Musa keluar melarikan diri dari negeri Firaun dengan membawa para pengikut nya, adakah Firaun menjadikan ibu Nabi Musa atau saudara Nabi Musa sebagai tebusan? Atau menggunakan ibu Nabi Musa atau saudara Nabi Musa untuk mengugut supaya Nabi Musa pulang ke Mesir? Firaun tak suruh pakar aqidah mengibaratkan Musa sebagai si Tanggang. 

Firaun Malaysia menggunakan ibu Azmin Ali dan saudara Azmin Ali untuk tujuan politik nya. Firaun Malaysia lebih teruk dari Firaun zaman Nabi Musa. 
Itulah tabiat pimpinan UMNO yang mahu mentransformasikan negara ini.
