2. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok, UMNO is history.</span></div>
3. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
4. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In its current flavor, state and form . . . UMNO is no more.</span></div>
5. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
6. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No point talking about what could have been . . . or the endeavors of many – including yours truly – to make the party see the light, to reform and renew and remain relevant in contemporary politics, to cleanse itself of corrupt criminals asphyxiating it to a gory demise.</span></div>
7. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
8. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was to no avail. We failed . . . and failed spectacularly as the “parti keramat Orang Melayu” got intractably hijacked by criminal lowlifes propped by a flaky collection of self-serving nincompoops and hangers-on wallowing in the muddy road to self-destruction . . . pathetic myopic fools merrily hurtling on a runaway trainwreck-in-the-making that will one day be remembered in the same light as other once invincible political forces that got arrogant and complacent, lost their way, imploded and consigned to the scrapheap of history . . . the Kuomintang, Congress Party, PRI, LDP, Golkar.</span></div>
9. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

12. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, many have asked me, whither the Malays?</span></div>
13. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
14. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apa akan jadi pada kita Orang Melayu? Siapa nak béla kita? Siapa nak jaga hak kita?</span></div>
15. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
16. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Uhh?</span></div>
17. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
18. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What ABOUT the Malays and other Bumiputras?</span></div>
19. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
20. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will just wither and flutter away into the horizon like old leaves?</span></div>
21. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
22. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Really?</span></div>
23. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
24. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over twenty million of us will just die and dissipate into thin air if there is no UMNO? If there is no Najib Razak, Zahid Hamidi, Adnan Mansor, Nazri Aziz, Salleh Said Keruak, Ahmad Maslan, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Rahman Dahlan, Azalina Othman and others of the same ilk – or for that matter – no PAS, no PKR, no Amanah, no JKKK, no JAKIM, no JHEOA to "take care" of us?</span></div>
25. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
26. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kita ni apa?</span></div>

29. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">

31. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
32. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kita harus berjuang lah brader. Buang sifat malas. Perkuatkan minda. Tingkatkan ilmu. Jangan manjakan diri sangat. Tak payah terlalu sensitif, terlebih tersinggung, tercepat terkilan, terlajak terkempunan, tercenderung berdengki, tergigih berdendam. Dan buang lah segala macam kepercayaan karut . . . cerita hantu, kena santau, air jampi . . . amok, sawan, histeria, meracau, meroyan.</span></div>
33. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
34. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Orang lain dah lama ke Bulan . . . kita sebok pasal artis berBulan madu. Gerhana Bulan pun masih ramai tak faham dan tak mahu faham. Orang lain kaji Bintang jauh-jauh . . . kita obses dengan Bintang filem. Orang lain dah bertongkat laser . . . kita mengejar Tongkat Ali.</span></div>
35. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
36. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sudah sudah lah tu.</span></div>
37. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">

40. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bangun lah dari beradu atas tilam yang empok diambang ranjang kayangan yang mengundang kepunahan bangsa sejagat.</span></div>
41. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
42. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dah ada semangat nak berjuang? Nak berjihad? Bagus. Mula-mula perlu lancar Jihad Ekonomi. Itu dulu. Tak guna melaung-laung nak pancung si kaafirun nun di sana kalau hidup merémpat di bumi sendiri . . . tiada ilmu, tiada jatidiri, tiada penghasilan, tiada harapan.</span></div>
43. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
44. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kalau Tanah Melayu tak best, pi kerja atas kapal. Boleh tengok dunia. Pi USA pun boleh. Apa takot sangat? Dok kerja di Amerika tiga bulan, hang dah boleh cakap omputeh macam Nicholas Cage. Hok sét Kelaté, buléh kécék Inglih macé Arnold SusohNokEjo pong oké doh tuh. Susoh gapo nyo?</span></div>

48. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Malays will do just fine . . . once we rid ourselves of the opiate of false security offered by a band of rogues at great socio-economic cost amid an induced sense of perpetual vulnerability to looming threats of imagined pendatang bogeymen lurking in every nook and cranny of the land.</span></div>
49. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
50. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We must realise the ludicrousness of the threat of impending doom of the Orang Melayu on our own Tanah Tumpah Darah IF the current gang of pillaging pirates were to lose power. We must be emancipated from this culture of irrational fear, of crippling institutional dependency, of inability to take charge and be responsible for our own welfare, our own destiny.</span></div>
51. <div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
52. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wahai Orang Melayu, UMNO sudah tiada. Perjuangan parti itu sudah terpésong . . . dari membéla Agama, Bangsa dan Tanah Air kepada membéla gerombolan penyangak dan penyamun. Tingkatkan lah dayasaing dan jatidiri. Tingkatkan usaha. Bekerja lebih keras. Kita bangsa yang ada maruah, ada pegangan, ada identiti, ada sejarah.</span></div>

60. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
61. <br />
62. <div style="text-align: justify;">
63. <span style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">For four decades, one single devil-incarnate, a grotesque freak of nature, has driven our nation from one political abyss into another. </span></div>
64. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
65. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
66. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
67. Imagine, . . . ONE divisive, power-mad manipulative little lunatic.</div>
68. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
69. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
70. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
71. For at least two generations, we have been led into the bottomless cesspool of political stupidity . . . . where otherwise sane and rational Malaysians are reduced to gutter-level petty infigh<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ting, reduced to chasing shadows in the dark here and elsewhere, . . . symbolic of our unwitting willingness to lap up and propagate the filth and pestilence left in his wake.</span></div>
72. </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
73. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
74. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
75. Kajang is just the latest twist in this raving madman's machinations to build his grandiose political edifice, the latest spurt of sporadic anarchic psychosis that started way back in 1974 when Malay undergrads were instigated to riot and rebel against some social injustice concocted in the fertile imagination of this delusional nut. And again in 1998 where tens of thousands of Malays yet again put aside their education, careers and businesses to "fight for reform" on the streets, destroying countless Malay lives and businesses in the ensuing havoc. </div>
76. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
77. <br /></div>
78. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
79. Upon release from his cage in 2006, this beast quickly reincarnated as a self-proclaimed messiah of reform -- a "gift of God" -- to further divide the Malays, this time with dire consequences on the nation's socio-political stability. An inconsequential PAS, hitherto floating towards oblivion in their own make-believe fantasy of fatwas-on-demand and desert Arab mimicry in the tropics, was rejuvenated as they join forces with fellow Chinese ass-kissing Malai Lembus of PKR to fight UMNO, split the Malay vote and ensure dilution of Malay political clout to a level unprecedented in the post-Merdeka era. </div>
80. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
81. <br /></div>
82. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
83. Malay disunity also gave a new lease of life to the Malay-hating Cinakui extremists of DAP, a party-of-hate that was already on their death throes after being thrashed to a pulp in the 2004 GE. The vast majority of nons, products of the world's ONLY school system based on the national language of a foreign faraway land, revealed their true Malay-hating colours and threw their lot behind the DAP racist subversives. </div>
84. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
85. <br /></div>
86. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
87. A false sense of empowerment permeated the soul of the minorities who capitalised on Malay disunity across the land to gain unprecedented political power. Now drunk with power disproportionate to their depleting numbers, they drew first blood with the Malay Mainstream on issues of religion, race, language and identity that will one day prove detrimental to their long-term existence in Malaysia. Hence, Malaysia morphed into a divisive simmering land of intolerant racists, habitual law breakers, self-alienising minorities languishing in their own little racist cocoons and recalcitrant religious nuts obsessed with stealing other people's God. </div>
88. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
89. <br /></div>
90. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
91. In other words, we are fast becoming a BASKET CASE.</div>
92. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
93. <br /></div>
94. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
95. And the gory truth staring at our collective faces -- as reaffirmed by the Kajang Gambit -- is the fact that our national political trajectory for most of the past four decades . . . imagine, 40 years . . . has been charted by a wretched, manipulative little man . . . a glassy-eyed borderline schizophrenic who is nothing more than a glorified political Forrest Gump allowed to run amok and create mischief at every turn by a soft, bungling incompetent BN/UMNO. Yes, imagine, the chaos, mayhem, racial tension, religious provocation, indeed, degeneration of the State itself -- one convoluted way or another -- is the toxic fallout from the political machinations of one wayward bipedal primate languishing in our midst. Marvel at the willingness among many to allow themselves to be politically seduced, raped and bullied and rendered concurrently guilt-ridden and inexplicably thankful for the sweet talk and tender mercies of this madman and his coterie of maladjusted courtiers and sycophants. </div>

97. <br /></div>
98. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
99. Yup, . . . one old raving madman is holding our nation hostage -- dividing the people across the permutation of race, language and religion; with the political process mocked, raped and brought into disrepute; with nothing to offer but more chaos and mayhem across the land.</div>
100. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
101. <br /></div>
102. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
103. . . . and inexplicably, we Malaysians zombie-like REACT to this madman's every move, as if obsessed with his lunacy as we wallow in the stinking cesspool either fighting for or against his cause. Either way, we are screwed, bigtime -- used, hoodwinked and manipulated to a chaotic existence by one morally deviant little septuagenarian with an insatiable lust for power.</div>
104. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">

106. <span style="line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
107. THAT is the REAL tragedy.</div>

Yes people, these filthy scums are as God-less as they come. Indeed, th</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">ey are pathetic little mortal manifestations of the anti-Christ himself. Their lives revolve around vices, sins and perversions that would doom them on a one-way express ticket to eternal Christian hell. Heck, they wouldn’t recognize Jesus, Mother Mary or the Apostles even if these holy figures somersault and hop scotch and cha cha in front of them. </span></span></div>
112. <div style="text-align: justify;">
113. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><br /></span></span></div>
114. <span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;"></span><br />
115. <div style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px; text-align: justify;">
116. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">Listen up, these Cinakuis and Kelings are as far removed from the Christian faith or any form of Monotheism as anyone could ever be. But who bark the loudest over this “Allah” ciplak issue? Yes, . . . these very same Patong Konkrit, Rotting Tunggul Kayu, Abandoned Culvert and Gua Batu Kapur worshippers who are the very embodiment of the Godless unsaved souls antithesis to Christians and Christianity!</span></div>
117. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
118. <div style="text-align: justify;">
119. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.984375px;"><br /></span></span></div>
120. <span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
121. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
122. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">So why are these filthy bastards involved in this stupid battle?</span></div>
123. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
124. <br /></div>
125. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
126. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">You see, this “Allah” ciplak saga is just another avenue for Malay-hating scums to spite the Melayus. Browse their filth in cyberspace and you’ll know what I mean. Suddenly the likes of Ramasamy A/L Periakarrupiah and See Toh Chee Bai – both as un-Christian as Madonna is un-Virgin -- have “strong opinions” about this “Allah” ciplak issue, morphing into instant experts on Christian Scripture, Paleolinguistics, Cultural Anthropology of the Nusantara and post-SriVijayan Malay Literature in their obsessive drive to spite the Malays. They go all out to force-feed the ARABIC word for the One God into the MALAY Bible although TUHAN YANG MAHA ESA is the exceedingly more accurate form.</span></div>
127. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">

130. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">These nons provoke, incite and rock the socio-political boat as they capitalise on Malay Disunity. Of course, the exceedingly politically STUPID Malays are hopelessly divided FOUR ways :-</span></div>

142. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">4) The ever growing pool of disenfranchised I-don’t-give-a-dog’s-shit non-voting Melayus.</span><span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"> </span></div>

147. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
148. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">Now, the problem with the nons is that their politics is based on one thing and one thing only: their pathological hatred of Malays. These people just hate Malays, period. Their politics is NOT about nation-building, NOT about transparency, NOT about justice, NOT about rule of law, NOT about NOTHING.</span></div>
149. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
150. <br /></div>
151. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
152. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">Their politics is about provoking the Malays, infuriating the Malays, testing the Malays, pushing the Malays . . . . on just about anything, anytime, anywhere, anyhow. They will hijack and cling to anything even remotely capable of upsetting the Malays they hate so very much. And this “Allah” ciplak saga is just another convenient platform for these mischievous bastards to indulge in another orgiastic hatefest against the Malays at a time when the country is led by a second successive nincompoop Prime Minister and the disunited Malays are at their lowest political ebb since Merdeka.</span></div>
153. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">
154. <br /></div>
155. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
156. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">As for the Christian zealots, by now all thinking Malaysians would have seen their REAL intention, which is to insert “Allah” into Malay Bibles designed with the look and feel of the Al-Quran and laden with Arabic jargons and decorative Quran-like calligraphy as a strategy to confuse the stupid and gullible among the Melayus. The ultimate step is conversion and this is in direct contravention of the Federal Constitution on proselytization of Muslims.</span><br />

171. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">Now, this Lawrence A/L Andrew and Murphy Nicholas Xavier A/L Pakiam fellows were originally anonymous insignificant nobodies that we had never heard of -- “ain’t worth a pitcher of warm spit” as they say in South Carolina -- until, yes UNTIL their cause was hijacked and embellished by the Godless anti-Melayus. These two ayyas were placed on plasticky pedestals, given legal resources and political backing to the hilt, and propped as figurehead puppets by the neo-Commie scums to “lead” yet another pesky front in their all out war against the hated Malays.</span></div>

175. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">And when those filthy Godless Malay-hating devils smother and screw the cartoonish religious zealots, they spawn packs of Religious Anarchist mongrels -- groups of unthinking mutants hating the Melayus with the fervor of religious nuts – the worst possible form of degenerative humankind !</span><span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"> </span></div>

179. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">Folks, we have now reached a stage where we should not waste any more time in meaningless discourses with pathological Malay-hating law breakers. We are just playing into their hands by arguing about this issue in an infinite circle propagated and sustained by autas and belits and more putar belits. You see, the likes of Murphy A/L Pakiam and Lawrence A/L Andrew are Indian Christians . . . . in my book a lethal combination of religious zealotry AND biological penchant to twist and turn and roll and rumble and lead us all, the whole nation, into an endless cycle of nomenclature and historical putaaaarbelitness till kingdom come. I know many of these types, the kinds that admonish you for “wrongly” wishing them Happy Deepavali and that go all out to explicitly extol their Christianity, complete with out-of-tune carols and half-drunk ayyas who couldn’t even convince blind people they are Santie Claus. These are the typical black-ass types who want to be more Christian than the Omputeh, with the Thangachees often dressed in black thigh revealing sleeveless dresses and stuttering along in ASTRO-style phony American English. Their fervor is surpassed only by the “Malay Christians” of the Philippines, who will go to the extent of being nailed to the cross to manifest their faith, and the “Malay Hindus” of Bali, who spent virtually all of their income to build gigantic offerings to appease innumerable dewas that dominate their existence.</span><span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"> </span></div>

183. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">So people, this “Allah” hijacking circus is nothing but another Malay-hating orgy of the Godless psychotic bastards -- riding on and using self-centered Christian zealot misfits -- to spite, infuriate and provoke the Malays. So let’s quit pretending these scums are rational beings. They are not, never were and never will. No point in arguing antediluvian era religious facts and socio-cultural and linguistic logic to these devil incarnates.</span><span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"> </span></div>

187. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">What they really need is swift, decisive retribution of Biblical proportions, based on the Constitution and Rule of Law of course.</span></div>

191. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">If the Constitution and the Law say “Allah” could not be used in Malay Bibles in Malaya, then that is how it is, . . . no ifs, buts or maybes. Arrest the law breakers, the instigators, the Malay-hating Godless scums who use this as a juicy, convenient Malay-bashing platform. Arrest them all, stuff them in the dungeons, and throw away the keys. Do this until not a single Bible in Malaya has “Allah” in it.</span></div>

195. <span style="line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">We must return to Rule of Law. No more dialogues. No more discourses.

227. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PM Najib is bleeding our national coffers via Khazanah, 1MDB, PEMANDU, TalentCorp and a multitude of unnecessary and unproductive supragovernmental agencies. These agencies are fed hand-to-mouth by super-expensive foreign-led CON-sultants. I christened these CON-sultants the <i>Powerpoint Mafia</i> as they are administratively untouchable and politically unaccountable. These supragovernmental agencies have become monstrous money pits answerable to no one ..... not even to Najib whose hands are tied by phoney threats of impending socio-economic calamity if Malaysia does not follow the various <i>Transformation</i> gobbledygook concocted by these thugs in Armani suits and Versace dresses now permanently encamped in and around the PM's department in Putrajaya. </span></span></span></div>

231. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In a nutshell, Najib has failed us.  And fail us big time as the foreign-led<i> Powerpoint Mafia</i> and their brash, arrogant 20- and 30-something local foot soldiers in the multitude of supragovernmental agencies hijacked our national socio-development agenda and nationbuilding blueprint.  Yes people, scary as it seem, Malaysia is now effectively ruled by proxy by the <i>Powerpoint Mafia</i> and their cocky young local henchmen and henchwomen.    </span></span></span></div>
232. <div style="text-align: justify;">
233. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">   </span></span></span></div>
234. <div style="text-align: justify;">
235. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Our sovereign funds -- cash earned from our collective toil; our blood, sweat and tears; and from our finite natural resources -- are being squandered on extravagant ventures at exorbitant cost with no tangible deliverable beyond fuzzy pie-in-the-sky concepts concocted by the <i>Powerpoint Mafia.</i> </span></span></span></div>
236. <div style="text-align: justify;">
237. <br /></div>
238. <div style="text-align: justify;">
239. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And let's be frank here.  These multibillion ringgit programmes with fancy names and even fancier rationale plucked from thin air do not benefit the average rakyat.  Nothing trickles down to the urban poor or to the simple kampung folk or to the ubiquitous salaryman.   </span></span></span></div>
240. <div style="text-align: justify;">
241. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
242. <div style="text-align: justify;">
243. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The average rakyat feels the economic pain. Real pain. The arrogant <i>Powerpoint Mafi</i>a and their local brown-ass party gurls in short skirts won't tell that to Najib. To them, these folks are just collateral damage, the inconsequential by-product of a grander scheme.</span></span></span></div>
244. <div style="text-align: justify;">
245. <br /></div>
246. <div style="text-align: justify;">
247. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Najib is too busy anyway.  Jetsetting with his large entourage and hangers on into San Francisco, officiated an obscenely expensive office for Khazanah, dropped by at Twitter HQ and then rushing in a 20-vehicle motorcade down the 101 freeway to visit Facebook HQ and then off to New York city for some speeches and more merriment.  All on our tab of course.     </span></span></span></div>
248. <div style="text-align: justify;">
249. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">  </span></span></span></div>

252. <div style="text-align: justify;">
253. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While Najib and spouse jet sets with the fashionable crowd, our common rakyat struggles with rising costs and the pains of rapid unbridled urbanisation and burgeoning social ills.  Of course the <i>Powerpoint Mafia</i> shields him from the real Malaysia, from the needs and concerns of the rakyat jelata.  Instead, he is fed a steady diet of CON-sultant jargon-laden strategic fairytales that seem to outdo one another in irrational grandiosity as time goes by. Suddenly Malaysia must be "competitive" against a whole bunch of phantom economic adversaries. Of course, after sitting in a series of these slick multimedia CON-sultant presentations, a sense of paranoia permeates one's soul, of being under siege and boxed in by "more competitive" others around us.  See?  Najib is pushed towards economic paranoia by these <i>Powerpoint Mafia</i>. They convinced him that he must spend hundreds of billions of ringgits of our money and our childrens' money in order to generate several tens of millions of ringgit of net incremental wealth.  Apa?  Like this how?  But financial disconnects are just minor detail irritants to Najib as, remember, he has been led to think in <i>trillions</i> of future ringgits in some future socio-economic utopia where young, happy merit-based highly productive people outcompete and outclass everyone else on this planet as the Malaysian economy takes-off into sub-orbital space of merriment and boundless prosperity.</span></span></span></div>

265. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Drive around our towns and kampungs and places in between.  Haul your butts out your comfy airconditioned cars and go have a cuppa coffee and the local kueh at the roadside kedai makan.  Observe the activities of the local folks.  I'm talking about places like Sekinchan and Juasseh and Paka and Bachok and Kodiang and Sarikei and Tuaran. You think Najib's grandiose schemes will ever benefit them?  How much of the hundreds of billions of ringgits spent thus far have trickled to them?  Almost nothing.  Nothing.  And I've not even talked about the</span></span></span><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> urban poor, in my book the worse kind of poor.  They have no
266. land to plant or raise food, have minimal extended family support
267. structure and must pay for everything, even for a twig of <i>karipulai</i> or a bunch of <i>serai</i>. They have little cash in a cash-based economic ecosystem. </span></span></span></div>

273. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hence, I was particularly appalled upon reading reports of Khazanah's new rep office in San Francisco.  I know the place like the back of my hand ..... the business climate, the people, the subtle nuances of that society.  And I believe Khazanah's foray there is just a waste of taxpayers' money as their objective is too fuzzy, too unclear to justify a strong presence in a socio-economic culture they know nothing about. The <i>Powerpoint Mafia</i> even helped them form a new entity to run the U.S. ops.  They called it <i>Khazanah Americas, Inc.</i> or KAI for short. Yup folks, with these KAI people spending our money, we might just go poKAI soon ...</span></span></span></div>

614. Darul Naim sekarang sudah dua puluh tiga tahun dibawah belenggu PAS.
615. Dan dalam 23 tahun itu, negeri ini tersepit di bawah tampuk

624. rakyat negeri Kelantan. Dan semakin berumur Nik Aziz, semakinlah beliau
625. dikerumuni oleh berbagai-bagai watak aneh dan parasit jalanan.
626. Bertopengkan ciri-ciri ular-mak PAS dan sering ber-kostum lengkap --
627. serban atau ketayap; janggut tiga urat; biji mata
628. diperik macam ostad ajar Quran -- watak-watak ini sudah lebih dua dekad

645. salahgunapakai. Mereka amat arif tentang kecenderongan kerohanian yang
646. tinggi dan sifat kedaerahan yang begitu mendalam dikalangan orang
647. Kelantan. Sebab itulah gerompolan Abu Nawas ini boleh menggenggam rakyat

654. PAS=Islam dan UMNO/BN sinonim dengan puak "tolak Islam." Penyokong PAS
655. tegar berasa diri mereka "lebih Islam" dari orang lain, apatah lagi orang
656. UMNO/BN yang Nik Aziz kata sudah "tolak Islam" dan sering beliau
657. "kafirkan." Yang cetek agama atau yang tiada pendirian akan "masok PAS"

683. segala bukit dan gunung ganang. Tanah peneroka tak ber-geran (kerana
684. geran pun tak di beri selepas tunggu berbelas tahun) dirampas dan
685. ditibai si Cina DAP juga. Di Kota Bharu, orang asal Lembah Sireh diberi
686. gantirugi yang tak setimpal dengan nilai tanah, itu pun kalau diberi. Ganjaran kepada kerajaan negeri yang patut diberi oleh pemaju Cina itu juga tidak dilunaskan. Negeri dapat sedikit sahaja. Tapi, tanah dan beratus lot kedai sudah dijual; wang diangkot tak tahu kemana.</span></span><br />

Ramai rakyat berkeliaran hari-hari tanpa tujuan dan ketandusan motivasi. Yang bersemangat juang sudah lama berhijrah ke setiap pelusuk bukan hanya negara tetapi dunia. Hingga di Amerika pun ada orang Kelantan. Di Los Angeles, berlambak, maju jaya sampai dah beranak pinak.

846. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">As for the </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><i>Satu Bahasa, Satu Bangsa, Satu Negara </i></span></span></span></span>tagline, it occurred to
847. me in a dusty diner on California Highway 41 literally in the middle of
848. nowhere between </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">San Luis Obispo and </span></span>Fresno not far from James Dean's <b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxG_VklEC9U" target="_blank">crash site</a></b>. I had driven my trusty Hummer H2 (not another Michael Chia gift lah; this beast was bought used for US$35,600 four years ago) up from LA to view some ranch land offered for a song, a distressed asset hard hit by America's real estate meltdown at that time.</span></span></div>
849. <div style="text-align: justify;">
850. <br /></div>
851. <div style="text-align: justify;">
852. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">Between sips of bad coffee and soggy burrito in a place chock full of people, I observed the American <i>berbagai bangsa tapi satu bahasa</i>
853. phenomenon in action. You see, Americans come in all colours and
854. origins. My Santa Monica zipcode alone has over 120 ethnic/national
855. groups. Malaysian diversity is <i>nothing</i> compared to these parts. But
856. unlike confused Malaysia, these people proudly speak in one language --
857. English -- although less than a third of Americans have English-speaking
858. ancestors. </span></span></div>
859. <div style="text-align: justify;">
860. <br /></div>
861. <div style="text-align: justify;">
862. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">Back to the diner scene, I observed an Asian chap, with Hispanic chick in tow, heartily discussing NFL football with a couple of White guys -- in English of course. Standing in line was a half dozen ethnic-Korean LA high school kids Americanized to their kimchi core trading banter and teenage lingo in perfect <span style="font-size: small;">San Fernando Valley twang. </span></span></span></div>
863. <div style="text-align: justify;">
864. <br /></div>
865. <div style="text-align: justify;">
866. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">My business associate in that trip, Andy (actually Andrei, an immigrant from Belarus) shared with me that intriguing scene of a
867. multicoloured, multicultural huddled mass of humanity interacting
868. proudly and boldly in one language. By his own admission, Andy
869. himself has long foregone his Russian/Belarusian except for the
870. occasional phonecall to Minsk.        </span></span></div>

874. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">I told Andy, "hey its interesting to see these people, irrespective of colour or creed, communicating clearly and confidently in one language, as one proud patriotic nationality, in one country" - hence, </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><i>Satu Bahasa, Satu Bangsa, Satu Negara.</i></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

900. <br />
901. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">Well, PM Najib Razak's government itself is now a perpetrator of an unconstitutional outrage - the overt approval and recognition of vernacular schools. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
902. <br />
903. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">You see, where other nations, even the multicoloured, multi-everything USA, have pushed a <i>one school one language</i> agenda for national cohesion, inexplicably the Najib government is now openly encouraging, financially supporting and perpetuating the vernacular school menace in our country. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
904. <br />
905. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">No nation on the face of this earth is doing this.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

914. national system. We have recognised Chinese education in Malaysia, and I
915. think that is of great significance<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>... Please see that in this context, we have recognised Chinese education as part of the national system<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></span></span></blockquote>

917. <br />
918. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Are we Malaysians supposed to be proud of this anomaly, <span style="font-size: small;">a one-off phenomenon unseen anywhere else on earth</span>?</span></span></span></span><br />
919. <br />
920. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Why should we? </span></span></span></span><br />
921. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
922. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">PM Najib, why do you think our neighbours <span style="font-size: small;">abolished Chinese schools de<span style="font-size: small;">cades ago? Do you know what Lee Kuan Yew thought of the Chinese educated? <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">O</span>f their inability to carry Singapore's growth agenda, indeed, to ensure survival of th<span style="font-size: small;">e city state itself? I won't elaborate on the Thai<span style="font-size: small;"> and Indonesian actions on Chines<span style="font-size: small;">e schools</span> as I have mentioned them many times in the past.  </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
923. <br />
924. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So why <span style="font-size: small;">should Malaysia, our <i>Tanah Tumpah Darah</i>, be sa<span style="font-size: small;">ddled with this one-of-a-kind burden? Another <i>Malaysia Boleh</i> moment? </span>Yet another weird<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>world's first?    </span> </span></span></span></span><br />
925. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
926. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And this is not even constitutional. </span></span></span></span><br />
927. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
928. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I challenge anyone from both sides of the politi<span style="font-size: small;">cal divide to rebut that statement. <span style="font-size: small;">Show us where Chinese and Tamil schools are allowed in the Malaysian constitution. </span></span>Where taxpayers money <span style="font-size: small;">can be <span style="font-size: small;">legally disbursed for these unconstitutional racket<span style="font-size: small;">. <span style="font-size: small;">W</span>here UEC certificate holders can be given scholarships underwritten by our tax ringgits.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

939. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">On hindsight, fortunately the fram<span style="font-size: small;">ers of our constitu<span style="font-size: small;">tion </span></span></span>were not vote-seek<span style="font-size: small;">ing political desperados. They were thoughtful scholars geared to please neither the <span style="font-size: small;">stateless <i>pendatangs</i> no<span style="font-size: small;">r the Malay masses<span style="font-size: small;">. They had to forge a practical blueprint for nation-bui<span style="font-size: small;">ld</span>ing for an eclectic collection of nine petty Sultanates and two colonial enclaves <span style="font-size: small;">in a turb<span style="font-size: small;">ulent region quivering from the undercurrents o<span style="font-size: small;">f post-colonialism.</span></span></span> <span style="font-size: small;">M</span>alay Rights and Privileges, status of the Malay language, sta<span style="font-size: small;">tus of <span style="font-size: small;">I</span>slam, status of the Malay rulers<span style="font-size: small;">, <span style="font-size: small;">Malay reserved lands, and the Malay Regiment</span></span></span> were all key pillars of this embryonic edifice of nationhood. <span style="font-size: small;">N</span>ational cohesion underpinned by a strong, unmistakable Malay <span style="font-size: small;">essence was the goal, indeed, the key guarantor<span style="font-size: small;"> of</span> the federation's long term</span> tenability. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>  <br />
940. <br />

942. <br />
943. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Political desperation has driven PM Najib to commit this constitutional sacrilege. He thought he could buy Chinese votes by dis<span style="font-size: small;">hing out </span>all sorts of extra-constitutional bribes and goodies. In effect, he is trying to out-Chinese the Chinese<span style="font-size: small;">, by giving something to the detriment of all to get something <span style="font-size: small;">for the benefit of few. </span></span>  </span></span></span></span><br />

You are disunited in your own little habitat<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">that is </span>already under siege by <span style="font-size: small;">today's version of the Melaka<span style="font-size: small;"> Chinamen, Nina Chatu and Utimuti Raja. </span></span></span>And <span style="font-size: small;">again akin to history,<span style="font-size: small;"> y</span></span>ou <i>Malai Lembu</i> types collaborate with the invasive species to your utter detriment, which you are too stupid to realise until <i>nasi sudah menjadi bubur</i> down the road. And you the PM throws taxpayers' money at <span style="font-size: small;">SJKC alien-production lines as if this is your only ticket for another five year stay in Seri Perdana.</span> </span></span></span></span></span><br />

1184. </span></div>
1185. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1186. <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
1187. </span></div>
1188. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1189. <span style="font-size: small;">I    arrived 40 minutes late after wading my way through flooded streets amidst mind-numbing torrential rain. So much for the not-so-SMART Tunnel, the glorified sewer that was supposed to end KL's flood woes. </span><br />
1190. <br />
1191. <span style="font-size: small;">Robin was seated in a corner, with   glazed eyes and a blank stare to complement his forlorn look. I said,   "what's up buddy; what's with the sour face?" Robin did not answer my   query but instead partake in the Klang Valley ritual of bitching about   the ubiquitous traffic jam.</span></div>
1192. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1193. <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
1194. </span></div>
1195. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1196. <span style="font-size: small;">   He pointed to the gridlock a few feet from our table to prove his   point. I said, "yeah my friend, do you know that your car added to the   congestion?" alluding to his illegally-parked Korean sedan blocking one   lane of traffic. Robin said, "haiya Bosz, everyone park like that lah.   If I don't park there, someone else will park there one." I said, "not   me, you know where I park my ride? At the private carpark across the   street where they charge RM3 per hour." </span></div>
1197. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1198. <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
1199. </span></div>
1200. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1201. <span style="font-size: small;">Robin    protested, "it's not the money lah ..." I said, "of course not. I  know  you'll say it is for the convenience." He nodded while I added,  "so for  <i>your</i> convenience, you have inconvenienced countless  others." Yup  folks, a couple dozen Robins would quickly cripple KL  traffic in no  time. <br />
1202. </span></div>
1203. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1204. <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
1205. </span></div>
1206. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1207. <span style="font-size: small;">The   small talk behind us, I summoned the kopitiam worker and ordered the   usual fare. This guy named Ameer, an illegal  Bangla who spoke   reasonably good Malay (unlike abject BM retard but MyCard carrying   Robin) said, "boss, sekarang orang order Ice Blended Coffee, bukan Kopi O   Beng, baru ada class." I looked around at the assorted uncleansed   simpletons slurping away at the ice blended whatever but I don't see any   upward revision of their castes and demeanor. I insisted on my Kopi O Beng   while Robin fell for the ice blended concoction.</span><br />
1208. <br />
1209. I asked, "yo buddy, what's up with the dejected disposition? Lost yet again in your <i>nombor ekor</i> bets ka?" while catching a glimpse of a <i>mapiau</i> slip fluttering under his vintage mobile phone. Atau lu baru <a href="http://deminegara.blogspot.com/2008/10/in-conversation-with-robin-serial-on.html" target="_blank">kasi suap</a> lagi satu orang gomen ka?" Robin replied, "haiyaa Bosz, don't lah tease me, be serious lah." I said, " ok, ok, I'll try to be serious, but I thought you don't like it when I'm serious as I tend to demolish every morsel of argument manufactured by your convoluted mind poisoned by the DAP swivel-eyed nut jobs."<br />
1210. <br />
1211. Robin <a href="http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1882127,00.html" target="_blank">doodled</a> ugly cartoons on the overturned<i> mapiau </i>slip as he touched on the Bersih 3.0 fiasco. I asked, "hmm, so you are sketching Babiga's face while asking me about the Bersih riots? I didn't know you can do two things at one time, I'm impressed." Robin replied, "woii Bosz, Am-bi-ga lah, where got Babiga!" I said, "Babiga, Ambiga, AmbikKau ... whatever, but the point is that this bored menopausal meenachi is now unwittingly in bed with the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4TLghVAdBLvK1WRmnxiyb9SF6oXdrEzN6Oc8yj1HDRl0a1Zz7eHOwJwcVcztjZziOncTX8TzF8CIehoBA9f7Xu5JjN_haCszy1g66lci7QDtxuczczSDn1bfYeFVB06Lrfi9fNuQyLWz/s1600/Anwar%252BIbrahim.jpg" target="_blank">Devil Incarnate</a> himself to fracture, polarise and radicalise Malaysia to a state of existence where ultimately the likes of her would find it too socially distressful to call home." <br />

1219. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
1220. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"> Where else could a menoupausal meenachi from a tiny 7% minority cripple the capital of a <i>World Top-20</i> trading nation with a demonstration over NOTHING spiced with riots and mayhem perpetrated by tens of thousands of clueless PAS and PKR Melayus -- the <i>Malai Lembus</i> -- whose very actions will only hasten the political erosion of their race in their own homeland.</span></span></div>
1221.    <br />
1222. <br />
1223. <br />
1224. I told Robin I'm intrigued by the abject failure of the non-Malays, the nons, to figure out Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Perhaps their overriding hatred of the predominant essence of Malaysia -- an essentially Malay Muslim country in roots, identity and socio-political outlook with enough wiggle room for dissension by a rowdy, self-alienising <i>pendatang</i> minority inherited from lax British immigration policy -- blinded their perception of this character.<br />
1225. <br />
1226. All the way back to his student activism days of the early 70s, Brother Anwar takes to chaos and mayhem like duck to water, indeed, as happy as a pig in mud whenever he can <i>hijack other peoples' causes</i> and create havoc with his coterie of freakish delinquents and miscreants. For the past four decades, Anwar and chaos are synonymous.  <br />
1227. <br />
1228. Look at his grin below.<br />
1229. <br />
1230. This malignant rabble rouser was <i>having the time of his life</i> while <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/youtube-video-appears-to-reveal-anwar-azmin-ordered-dataran-breach/" target="_blank">directing his <i>malai lembu</i> horde to breach police barricades and invade Dataran Merdeka</a> in contempt of a court order and to wreak havoc and to attack and provoke the hitherto patient police force. Bersih 3.0 was a god-sent for his flailing relevance to Malaysian politics. Is this what Ambiga is about? Reduced to become Anwar's pliable meenachi; a glorified menial housemaid in the bigger scheme of things; the latest in the long list of Indians misused and abused to the hilt by Anwar to pursue his singular obsession of becoming Prime Minister at all costs?  <br />
1231. <br />

1238. <div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
1239. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">As long as this raving megalomaniac remain in the political scene, </span></span><br />
1240. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Malaysia's social and political climate will continue to be</span></span><br />
1241. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">precariously volatile and combustible. </span></span></div>
1242. <br />
1243. <br />
1244. <br />
1245. Actually, Ambiga and her Bersih 3.0 misadventure is just the latest in a long series of social movements latched-on, hijacked, dominated and ultimately destroyed by Anwar. True blue reformists can see this. And many are speaking out against Anwar's blatant hijacking of their cause like <a href="http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2012/04/30/chaos-and-the-beginning-of-the-end-for-anwar/" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://www.dearambiga.com/" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://www.malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/letterssurat/48987-bersih-30-a-success-" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DihXRQ-PkXc" target="_blank">this</a>.<br />
1246. <br />
1247. As for Ambiga, she has truly bitten more than she can chew. She cannot just trigger large scale mayhem that caused untold damage to public property and jeopardise the livelihoods of traders dotted inside the riot footprint and then merrily hopped and scotched back to the comfort and security of her posh Bukit Damansara mansion without any recourse to aggrieved parties. Indeed, as to be expected, pissed-off street vendors affected by her Bersih 3.0 riots gave her <a href="http://www.pisau.net/2012/05/bersih-30-peniaga-protes-sambil-jual.html" target="_blank">a taste of her own medicine</a> right on her front gate.<br />

1274. <br />
1275. <br />
1276. <br />
1277. According to the Star, the Malay Armed Forces Veterans Association pledged more action by army veterans
1278. if Ambiga continues to tarnish the country and "warned her
1279. not to bring anymore trouble to the country." The association's president also challenged Ambiga to take legal action against him and
1280. if she does not, a bigger group of butt swaying army veterans would gather near her frontgate.<br />
1281. <br />
1282. Robin protested, "why they do this to her?" to which I said, "the affected merchants and concerned citizens likewise asked why she did this Bersih riot thing to them?"<br />
1283. <br />
1284. So how now?<br />
1285. <br />
1286. A cold, ruthless obstinate perpetrator who wouldn't listen to reason cannot just conveniently morph into a victim the moment the tide of public opinion turns against her. <br />
1287. <br />
1288. This is reality, people. If the means to ease your boredom, to find meaning in your empty life and to tackle bouts of menopausal psychosis is to incite and instigate the people and challenge public order and general public wellbeing, then you must be prepared to face the consequences. Call it karma, call it divine providence, <i>neraka atas dunia</i> or whatever, but you reap what you sow. <br />
1289. <br />
1290. I said, "we must also choose our friends wisely. If you sleep with the devil, don't pretend to be an angel the next day. Ambiga accepted Brother Anwar into her bosom; she is tainted now."<br />
1291. <br />
1292. An irritated Robin added, "o.k. lah Bosz, Anwar has his faults, but he is our best bet against evil UMNO and its coalition running dogs. Anwar will lead us to Putrajaya. He will be the next PM."<br />
1293. <br />
1294. I said, "hey my friend, 'Anwar has his faults' is the <i>understatement of the century</i>. This guy is the epitome of the failure of Malaysian democracy. A man of such history and character defects would have long been tossed to the political dumpster in more enlightened democracies. His <span class="st"><i>smörgåsbord </i></span>of lies ("we have enough seats to take Putrajaya on 9-16"), deceit, treachery, social emotive manipulation and cunning political opportunism could fill a library. This rabid anarchist with a mean streak will go to any lengths to take control of this country and ultimately impose his one man dictatorial rule in a polarised, chaotic country -- the way he runs PKR and Pakatan today -- in which case you nons would be wailing in futility in your boarded-up ethnic ghettos, regretting your stupidity for the rest of your wretched lives."<br />
1295. <br />
1296. Robin protested, "but Bosz, he has reformed; he is now a good Malay. He promised more empowerment of non-Malays, more cultural space, wau-lau Kit Siang will be the Deputy PM and uncle Karpal can be Law minister and Teresa Kok the Women<span class="st">, Family and Community Development</span> minister, Hannah Yeoh the Tourism minister and Bro Tony Pua would be the economic czar and ..."<br />
1297. <br />
1298. I interjected:-<br />
1299. <br />
1300. "... yeah, and Babiga would be the Chief Justice, Tian Chua the Interior minister, Irene Fernandez can be Human Resource minister and Mat CPM Sabu as Defense minister ... and pigs can fly and <i>kucing dah bertanduk </i>and Elvis is sighted at the Tapah R&R gouging on overpriced <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpI2RzPL2ILZ0MBJ3WpxuQAgqTI_Sk3kVEqJzLCIGHjHfPTUv-Q6z9typeIPV91ncgk0cJvM34TvXrEHuYsVX_GmHRF7qFcrCl3akAvM_zH2HGlvKJAZngZqCYD4naSJveHBVgvUe7rMAg/s1600/DSCN8762.JPG" target="_blank">Musang Kings</a>." <br />
1301. <br />
1302. A flustered and incredulous Robin uttered, "c'mon lah Bosz, why you talk bad about Anwar one? You think Najib and his corrupt UMNO goons are better kah? You dreaming ah? Why Kit Siang or Karpal cannot be DPM? This is our country also maaah."<br />
1303. <br />
1304. I replied, "I'm not 'talking bad' about Brother Anwar; I'm just stating the tip of the rotten truth. Sure Najib Razak is far from perfect either; in fact to me he is a jargon-laden soft wimp who has no idea how to forge a cohesive nation based on shared values, shared socio-cultural norms, with one school for all and a dominant national lingua franca. <i>But</i> Najib does not go to town lying about takeover dates or promising the untenable to minority politicians or instigating crowds to break the law and riot at every opportunity and then morphed as the cherubic, angelic victim to the gullible foreign media while dragging Malaysia's name through the mud of global public opinion."      <br />
1305. <br />
1306. People, remember Bersih 2.0 when Brother Anwar put on a not quite convincing dramatisation of being near-death from an imaginary police beating to the amusement of many? This is from the same confidence trickster who manipulated the national psyche with Oscar-winning pantomimes of crippling back problems and horrific arsenic poisoning.<br />

1319. As for being corrupt, I told Robin that it comes with the territory lah, meaning politics and corruption go hand in hand like nasi lemak and teh tarik or pizza and beer or China-malee lambut kalat female "tourists" with prostitution. Sure, many BN politicians are corrupt. Absolutely no apologies or excuses for the dastardly act. But many PR politicians are corrupted as well, rotten to the core, many ooze sleaze, some are slimy to the touch, and these scums are steadfastly embedded in <a href="http://kickdefella.net/2010/03/30/tu-diaaaaaaa-bhg-2-tauke-derma-kekal-mursyidul-am-pas/" target="_blank">PAS</a>, <a href="http://www.malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/newscommentaries/47098-rpk-there-is-corruption-in-selangor" target="_blank">PKR</a> and <a href="http://www.mole.my/content/garbage-corruption-gone-viral-selangor" target="_blank">DAP</a>. <br />
1320. <br />
1321. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1322. </div>
1323. Kit Siang or Karpal Singh or even Mr. Irrelevant <a href="http://ktemoc.blogspot.com/2010/11/loh-gwo-burne-gobala-one-term-mps.html" target="_blank">Loh Gwo Burne</a> or for that matter any MyCard carrying Malaysian as DPM? Yeah sure, if the electorate vote for their party/coalition to command a majority in parliament and they are chosen to lead by their party and coalition partners. Whether its realistic is another thing. And I told Robin don't lah cry unfair, unfree and unclean elections if his party loses. Indeed, how come there were no complains of unfair, unfree and unclean elections in states won by PR -- Selangor, Penang, Kelantan, Kedah and Perak (then)-- as well as in many contentious seats won by wafer thin majorities? <br />
1324. <br />
1325. Having said all that, the bigger tragedy here is the political stance of the nons. You see, in politics the nons are not objective and far removed from the meritocracy, best-person-for-the-job goobledygook they want the world to believe. They vote on emotions and prejudices. For the past five years, they have been indulging in some sort of self-immolating sado-masochist politics where their irrational provocations may ultimately court Malay Muslim overreaction that would be tragic for all.  <br />
1326. <br />
1327. The political agenda of the nons, beyond fuzzy little tales of justice, fairness and equality, is singularly dominated by their pathological hatred of the very essence of the Malaysian nation, be it Malay pre-eminence, Malay as the national language, Malay-based symbols of nationhood, the nation's accepted history, the institution of the Malay royalty, and Malay-based cultural heritage. This racist, subversive sentiment percolates into the cesspool of communal hatred known collectively as the DAP.<br />
1328. <br />
1329. But that is only part of the story.<br />
1330. <br />
1331. The other, even more tragic, part is the extent the nons go to prop and embellish their Malay frontmen, the malleable <i>Malai Lembus -- a</i> necessary evil given demographic realities -- to infuse the necessary Malay flavour to their political misadventure. Hence, Brother Anwar, for all his character defects and overall sleazy demeanour, is propped and deified -- and repeatedly sanitised amidst his series of lurid scandals -- as the "leader" of their anti-Malay revolution. Beyond Anwar, CPM-loving Mat Sabu, the PAS deputy president no less, is a Tuhan-sent. An eclectic collection of pseudo-liberal Malays, Melayu celups, Malay-like nons, semi-Melayu cultural freakzoids and Melayu lost souls form a somewhat palatable veneer over their racist, anti-Malay toxic core.          <br />
1332. <br />
1333. Hence, we end up with an opposition peppered with shady Melayus (in its various shades and spiritual incarnations) of questionable character in the upper echelons of leadership.<br />
1334. <br />
1335. I asked Robin whether this lethal combo of shady Melayus and toxic, subversive nons can actually administer this country? Look at Selangor. Its level of governance and political stability since the 2008 PR takeover is now at <i>Banana Republic</i> level, with the administrative agenda crippled by talks of brothels, sand thieves and water supply issues. And we are talking about the most advanced, the most prosperous state here.   <br />
1336. <br />
1337. Robin interjected, "but Bosz, the people have spoken. They want free and fair elections. They are fed-up with UMNO's rule." <br />
1338. <br />
1339. I said, "Free and fair elections? You kiddin me? Was Brother Anwar Ibrahim ever <i>elected</i> as the chairman or leader of Pakatan Rakyat or even his PKR party? No. He proclaimed himself as <i>Ketua Umum</i>, some sort of 'de facto leader,' based on what principles? Democracy? That's laughable." An ignoramus Robin scoffed, "what's so funny, Bosz? PKR is a democratic party maah. Anwar Ibrahim and Azmin Ali are fighters for democracy!"<br />
1340. <br />
1341. "Fighters for democracy?" Anwar? Azmin? What weed have ya been smokin' man? Obviously this pathetic little non with a poisoned mind haven't followed the PKR leadership election sham, with thousands of phantom members voting en bloc for candidates pre-approved by Anwar and Azmin. Digest <a href="http://ktemoc.blogspot.com/2010/11/pkr-party-election-horror-stories.html" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://harismibrahim.wordpress.com/2010/10/29/halt-pkr-election-2010-immediately/" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://mole.my/content/bersih-should-help-pkr-cleaning-its-election-first" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://www.malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/letterssurat/34653-election-fraud-a-underhanded-tactics-of-pkr-leaders-in-party-elections" target="_blank">this</a>. <br />
1342. <br />
1343. Before Robin could further articulate his fairytale views, I added, "what about your CPM-incarnate DAP? Got any 'free and fair elections' in this father-son party? When was the last time Kit Siang was openly challenged for the leadership? Got right of free expression kah? Look at the ruthless attacks by the DAP leadership and their cyberzealots on the party's vice-chairman, Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim for his views on lawlessness and violent demonstrations."<br />
1344. <br />
1345. Tunku Aziz, who joined DAP based on his ignorant read of the party's phony democratic ideals shrouding a subversive, anti-Malay agenda, <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/5/15/nation/11292571&sec=nation" target="_blank">quit</a> after citing "irreconcilable differences" and reiterating that the plan to sit in at Dataran Merdeka was "clearly against the law," adding, "I found it extremely difficult to support anyone breaking the law." Tunku Aziz had earlier <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/bersih-3.0-not-blameless-from-rally-violence-says-dap-leader/" target="_blank">said</a>: "Bersih 3.0 organisers are not a group of angels descended from heaven who are completely blameless. The Bersih organisers should accept that there are substantial
1346. elements within the rally from people whose intentions were to create
1347. havoc and cause chaos as long as it is possible.”<br />
1348. <br />
1349. The extent of the DAPster attack on Tunku Aziz, including not renewing his tenure as a senator in the <i>Dewan Negara</i>, reflected their gross misperception of the man. They had brought him on board -- complete with a giddy vice-chairman post -- to be their prized Melayu puppet, an obedient stooge who will toe the party line, to add legitimacy to the party's hollow <i>Malaysian Malaysia</i> rhetoric. But the moment this erstwhile stooge speaks his mind, the DAPsters went berserk, almost incredulous at the audacity of this <i>Malai puppet</i> to have an independent viewpoint, to have a mind at all. So much for fighters for democracy. Got free speech ah? Got free thoughts ah? <br />
1350. <br />
1351. The Tunku Aziz saga is a scathing indictment of what the DAP is all about. His parting shot, referring to party sec-gen. Lim Guan Eng, said it all: "A deep sense of relief of being freed from the tyranny of a demagogue." Another <i>Malai Lembu</i> has extricated himself from the subversive shackle and fought back. More to come as they inevitably realise the irrationality of their association with a blatantly anti-Malay, anti-Islam party.<br />
1352. <br />
1353. <br />
1354. Tunku Aziz's unceremonious exit is just the latest in a long series of DAP Maoist-style purges. In the past, pragmatists like Lee Lam Thye and Wee Choo Keong were thrown out and today the likes of P. Ramasamy and <a href="http://www.mysinchew.com/node/46054" target="_blank">M. Kulasegaran</a> were treated as nothing more than glorified parias, the obligatory <i>tauyoons</i>. And don't let me get started on how Brother Anwar's PKR treats Indians. Even diehard Anwarwallas, Nallakaruppan and Gobalakrishnan, left after realising the absurdity of their existence in this husband-wife-daughter party.<br />
1355. <br />
1356. Robin interjected, "but Bosz, many <i>towering Malays </i>have joined the DAP maah. UMNO have no room for these smart people. These good Malays want justice for all." I said, "yeah my friend, you can see a definite psychotic commonality in these Melayu collaborators. You know, in any form of human conflict through the ages, be it armed, social or political, enemy collaborators are bound to exist. Some do it for the money and promised positions; some just want to gain attention after being rejected by their old party, UMNO; some are just Melayus ingrained with the "hamba" mentality, where they need a foreign Tuan, a <i>Bangsa Asing</i> to lord over them and validate their existence. Yet others are not Melayus in the first place, the type that was brought up by a non-Malay, Muslim-on-paper-only parent and feels stuck and constraint under a Malay skin while he/she is actually a Chinese or Indian or a metallic brown Mat Salleh-wannabe."<br />
1357. <br />
1358. But the sick irony of it all is that after all the <i>berpaling tadah</i> and <i>penderhakaan kepada bangsa</i> charade, these Melayu <i>talibaruts </i>are finding out the painful way at the dire lack of fairness, democracy, fair play and accountability in the DAP itself. Imagine, after enduring scorn and ridicule for collaborating with the anti-Melayu, anti-Islam Maoists, they ended up as third-class Malai puppets, trampled and pinned down by the filthy soles of the gang Bapak-Anak. Pathetic!     <br />
1359. <br />
1360. "Anyway buddy," I asked, "you can trust traitors kah? Do you know how collaborators and traitors are dealt?"        <br />
1361. <br />
1362. Robin whispered, "I don't know here, but no mercy for these kinds in China during Mao's era. And it's even worst in today's North Korea. Whole families sent to the gulag for life."   <br />
1363. <br />
1364. Changing tune, Robin said, "but Bosz, what about PAS? Cannot be bad also lah. These hajis are very<i> alim</i> one, always pray, and treat us Chinese as equals because race doesn't exist in their religion." I responded, "ya kah? Then how come PAS always bicker with DAP/PKR in the Kedah government? How come DAP's biggest enemy in Selangor since PRU12 has not been UMNO but their buddy PAS? How come you people don't like Hasan Ali?"  <br />
1365. <br />
1366. Talking about PAS, nothing much to expect from a party led by sleepy mullahs, CPM boot lickers and simpleton comedians and guided by an ignorant village charlatan who actually thinks his <a href="http://anak2merdeka.blogspot.com/2009/11/barakah-dari-selipar-nik-azizerkk.html" target="_blank">flip flops are holy objects</a> capable of bestowing divine blessings on those who stole them from his dusty doorstep. I live part of the year in Kelantan. I can write a thick book on PAS mismanagement in that state. The crumbling or non-existent infrastructure, perennial water woes, incredible lack of basic public hygiene and abject government non-accountability are obvious for all to see.   <br />
1367. <br />
1368. Now, back to the discussion on democratic ideals, I asked Robin, "remember the ill-fated MCLM, where a bunch of bored, flaccid middle-aged men appointed themselves as the jury, the gate-keeper to chose and "approve" candidates for PRU13? Who the heck do they think they are? Some sort of extra-Constitutional Election Candidate Clearing House? Isn't their actions tantamount to tampering with the process of democracy, where free and fair elections entail a citizen's inalienable right to stand as candidates and the public's right to freely chose its preferred candidate, free from coercion or deception by a bunch of constipated, self-righteous narcissists?"   <br />
1369. <br />
1370. Robin jumped in, "yor lah Bosz, I agree on that one. This MCLM was led by one beer-drinking <a href="http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/19WTacUU_F8/hqdefault.jpg" target="_blank">Indian fellow with a Malay name</a> and a few of his pub kakis. Waah, they think they can just nominate some friends and force Pakatan parties to accept them as some kind of parachute candidates kah? But now no more MCLM. Sudah kong. Kaput maah."<br />
1371. <br />
1372. Robin added, "anyhow Bosz, I don't know about you, but I want free and fair elections." </div>
1373. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1374. <br /></div>
1375. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1376. I said, "yeah, I want free and fair elections too. Free from unsubstantiated claims of fraud and phantom voters and street demonstrations and chaos and mayhem brought about by people who know the only way to gain power is not through free and fair elections but via street violence and revolution by the confused masses."</div>
1377. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1378. <br /></div>
1379. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1380. I asked, "do you demand free and fair elections by running amok like madmen and madwomen in downtown KL? What if you <i>lose</i> in a free and fair election? Will you accept the result like an honourable fellow, or do you still insist it is not a free and fair election and again run amok like madmen and madwomen in downtown KL and demand the country hold another "free and fair" election. What if you lose again? Another round of demos? So you'll be running amok like madmen and madwomen in downtown KL after every election rerun until you actually win the election? What if you'll never win the election? You'll be running amok like madmen and madwomen in downtown KL in perpetuity? Or do you run amok only in states/seats where you lose? What if UMNO/BN supporters run amok as well in areas where Pakatan wins? So imagine the Pakatan people run amok in Barisan states and the Barisan people running amok in Pakatan states."<br />
1381. <br />
1382. I said, "in that case <i>the whole country</i> will run amok! You really want to see <i>me</i> run amok and use you as target practice for my <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uuL-9lvrs6w/SuUCRJE5TtI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/RsUQHIy_oSw/s400/PA250049.JPG" target="_blank">tekpi</a>, <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF3H-JSbo9CMHaiHUFMHHSuBqhfLiwspm-d5bqwUj6jE6ygS-huO8faOiDNJtG_gUufp11nj67wUew7eVwni0RQ_GN-htodLM5zxFp8UJPB8O1RRtirhvfPjkkWT0Yr-tJW4rFlhu1k3E/s1600/Picture+897.jpg" target="_blank">kelewang</a> and <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZF29kOsqu79XXjAy67jvz4SsCg0xNh4hdJ7Yeu-gD49ArT07MBrRVEUzxkNVX3RBXMMtUwctLybdzComOncfhRkLouzXCwuWXsmrmjKIAEY8ZDo6LKElirlr2x6Ti3Bxe_wOuKYlI-CgW/s320/IMG_0760.jpg" target="_blank">kapak bungkus</a> arsenal, not to mention my kris collection?"<br />
1383. <br />
1384. Robin protested, "haiyaa, no lah Bosz. We only want to <i>cari makan</i> here maah. Why you like this one?"<br />
1385. <br />
1386. "Cari makan?" I asked. "Lu sudah kenyang sampai buncit hamil 3 bulan mau makan apa lagi? Lagi pun, macam mana lu boleh cari makan kalau lu orang sekarang banyak main-main sama api, cari gaduh sana sini? Ini macam bagus kah? Boleh tahan kah?<br />
1387. <br />
1388. Indeed, how can all these anarchy be good for the country? Do these Bersih 3.0 instigators care about the country? Do the rioting <i>Malai Lembu</i> stooges even understand the bigger picture? "What about you, Robin?" I asked, and added, "do you even know what you're fighting for, apart from cheering at some incoherent anti-UMNO, anti-establishment circus?" <br />
1389. <br />
1390. Who are the movers, the puppeteers of Bersih? Do they represent the nation in terms of demographics and regional representation or are these people just a lunatic fringe of the minority periphery of Mainstream Malaysiana?<br />
1391. <br />
1392. Robin jumped in, "they represent all facets of Malaysia lah Bosz. Semua kaum ada one." I said, "yeah, tell me about Malay representation. Proportionate or token?" <br />
1393. <br />
1394. You see, Malays formed only 28.5% of Bersih's 21-person Steering Committee, while the nons make up the other 71.5%, with Indians forming the single biggest group. Is this the country's demographic sampling? How many of these self-appointed caretakers of Malaysian democracy are from the east coast? From the Borneo states? Do they represent me? The almost 70% of Malaysians out there? <br />
1395.   <br />
1396. Just look at the Bersih demands. How many of those are within the ambit of the Election Commission? And fully four out of the eight demands -- free media, strenghtened public institutions, stop corruption, stop dirty politics -- are nothing more than vague concepts way beyond the scope of the EC. I say these are not <i>bona fide</i> demands at all but rather whimsical political rhetoric, like some sort of spoiled brat's Christmas wish list. In fact, the very same four demands could be thrown at the incompetent, bumbling Pakatan state governments of Selangor, Penang, Kedah and Kelantan.<br />
1397. <br />
1398. Faced with a famine of facts, Robin blurted out, "whatever lah Bosz, but we have the right to support a cause we believe in." I replied, "o.k. brother, ditto here. But you must at least <i>understand</i> the cause, the struggle, the end game ... and not just grin at the sight of the powerless, under-equipped police being attacked by criminal hooligans just because you have been brainwashed by your SJKC roots and your self-alienising community to hate the Malay police and other forms of Malay authority. Now, that is <i>not</i> a fight for democracy; that is just crude racism."</div>
1399. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1400. <br /></div>
1401. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1402. Look at the so-called Auntie Bersih below. Totally bewildered by conflicting signals -- fighting for "freedom" and "democracy" but witnessing the very same freedom being hijacked and brought into disrepute by Brother Anwar's rampaging <i>mat rempits</i> and <i>sampah masyarakat</i> which she so despise and have little in common. She fights for free speech; but when given the podium by the "alternative media," she could only shrug in contempt at the polite Malay reporter, brushing him aside with a very rude <i>berambus lah</i> remark. This kind of person is a role model kah? Ada adat Malaysia kah?<br />
1403. <br />
1404. This ingrained alienisation -- borne of divergent social, educational and linguistic paradigms -- is the true target for reform, not the incoherent demands by Bersih.<br />

1417. <br />
1418. A visibly flustered Robin changed tune and said, "haiyaa Bosz, the police started it all lah. The Bersih people were peaceful until the fascist cops attacked them mercilessly. So brutal maah."<br />
1419. <br />
1420. I said, "say what? Police brutality? How you know? You were there kah?" Robin replied, "no lah Bosz, I read it on Malaysiakini and Malaysian Insider and the Chinese papers maah. The police so damn brutal one."<br />
1421. <br />
1422. I asked, "you want to talk about brutality? How about brutality of the lembus as instigated by Brother Anwar?"<br />
1423. <br />
1424. I told him the police showed considerable restraint and were almost sedentary. In some locations, they even exchanged greetings and accepted flowers from some Bersih ladies. They acted -- that's what the police and law enforcement forces are for anywhere on earth -- only after the barricades were breached and when the <i>Malai Lembu</i> rioters invaded Dataran Merdeka and wreak havoc on public property and actually attacked the police force.<br />
1425. <br />
1426. Robin smirked and queried, "woii Bosz, you dreaming kah. Where got the Bersih people atack the police one? Mimpi kah?" <br />
1427. <br />
1428. Mimpi? Dreaming?<br />
1429. <br />
1430. <br />
1431. Nah, tengok ni. Siapa serang siapa dulu? Si <i>Malai Lembu</i> Unit Amal PAS bahalol tu tahu polis tidak akan belasah mereka pada tahap yang sepatutnya. Jadi beranilah si jaguh-jaguh kampung ni. <br />

1450. I said, "woii Robin, anywhere on earth, once you break the law, vandalise public facilities, and attack police officers, of course lah the police will act. Otherwise, what are they there for? Defenseless sitting ducks for the <i>Malai Lembus</i> kah?"<br />
1451. <br />
1452. I added, "kalau orang tiba-tiba hantam lu, kasi rosak lu punya harta benda, kasi kacau lu punya anak bini, lu tak mau hantam balik ka?   <br />
1453. <br />
1454. Robin shot back, "haiyaa, of course lah I will hantam back. Where can allow like this. I will use my ..... umm Bosz, can pinjam your kapak kecik and parang ka? Just in case ..."<br />
1455. <br />
1456. Ha, there you go. So much for this guy's phony peaceful disposition. Even a little teaser of physical encroachment by others brought out the <i>ferocious killer animal</i> in Robin. So please lah don't bark police brutality when all along the perpetrators of the violence came from the Bersih people.  <br />
1457. <br />

1459. As for our police force, outfit them appropriately lah. Macam mana mau hadapi beribu <i>Malai Lembu</i> gila dengan hanya ber-uniform gaya mata-mata Kampong Telor Dua Butir?

1468. I told Robin I've seen first-hand punitive riot police action in my travels over the past three decades. I was caught in the middle of a pitch battle between German skinheads and left-wing anarchists and tough riot police near Munich's Olimpiastadion some years ago. Brutal affair, with the <i>polizei</i> coming out clear winners after methodically beating the sh*t out of both groups of rioters. Now, that <i>is</i> brutality, though necessary.<br />
1469. <br />
1470. Of course, living in Southern California is not complete without getting caught in the occasional insurrection by one of the megalopolis' myriad of interest groups, ranging from disenfranchised chicanos to gay biker gangs to drunk over exuberant grid iron fans of my famous alma mater. And don't expect the LAPD and LA Country sheriff deputies to be restrained softees and sitting ducks like the Malaysian cops at Bersih 3.0. They'll beat the sh*t out of these anarchists to clear the streets and freeways as <i>rule of law</i> takes precedence in those parts.<br />
1471. <br />
1472. Nah, a mild sampling of LAPD intolerance of street dissent.<br />

1477. <br />
1478. <br />
1479. Now, you want to complain about arrests and detentions of the anarchists after they created havoc in downtown KL? You mollycoddled little nons want to use that as fodder against the "cruel regime"? You think the West is better? You kidding me? You want <i>real</i> detention without trial for a crime you didn't commit? <br />
1480. <br />

1482. <br />
1483. Did this Daniel Chong or his lawyer cry race or "White oppression against an innocent Chinese youth" in a press conference conducted loudly in Mandarin? Any outcry by the Chinese community in the U.S.? Was this even on their news radar? No. Asian Americans would likely utter "who cares" and "serves this drug delinquent good" for such incidents. <br />
1484.   <br />
1485. Want more stories of <i>real</i> police brutality? Google Communist China's bloody occupation of Tibet and <a href="http://www.uyghurnews.com/About_East_Turkistan.asp" target="_blank">East Turkestan</a> and witness the methodical oppression of <a href="http://www.eastturkestan.net/" target="_blank">whole communities</a> by the Han communists.<br />
1486. <br />
1487. A defensive Robin scrambled more off-the-cuff dissent when he said, "but Bosz, you cannot just dismiss these Bersih Malay boys as lembus and dumb tools of Pakatan. Surely they must be angry about <i>something</i>, with UMNO's injustices and corruption and nepotism and cronyism and profiteering and ..."<br />
1488. <br />
1489. I cut him off, "... yeah, how come they demo only about UMNO/BN 'injustices and corruption and nepotism and cronyism and profiteering' and <i>not</i> rampant PKR/DAP/PAS 'injustices and corruption and nepotism and cronyism and profiteering' in the states they rule? Unless, of course, it was nothing more than partisan politics -- the machinations of one side choreographed by Pakatan puppet masters -- to bring down the other side through violent means."<br />
1490. <br />
1491. "But Bosz," Robin added, "why are they so violently angry, not just angry, but with the energy and vigour to cause mayhem and take on the might of the police?"<br />
1492. <br />
1493. I told Robin he should ask that question to his PAS and PKR collaborators. Ask the mullahs and Malay Apologists what message they preached to their congregation, what sort of mischievous propaganda they infused into the minds of these gullible youths. <br />
1494. <br />
1495. Robin's rhetoric aside, I feel the Bersih 3.0 mayhem was reflective of a bigger problem, a structural economic disequilibrium skewed by an unsustainable overdependence on foreign labour. With all forms of labour outsourced to legal and illegal foreign workers, many of these idle, underemployed and unemployable youths have become society's lost souls. Uneducated; with zero job skills; with neither business capital nor acumen; and afflicted by acute motivational deficiency, this huge and ever growing pool of bored young Melayus are easy prey for political opportunists. And this falls right into Brother Anwar's territory. Hence, for these idle youths with lots of time in their hands, a little anarchist fix with like-minded friends in downtown KL is more exciting than roaming the shopping malls or watching reruns of <i>Maharaja Lawak Mega</i> or attending mediocre Malaysian Super League matches. <br />
1496. <br />
1497. Robin asked, "like this how Bosz? The Melayus beranak banyak maah. More troops for Anwar. Like this Bersih 4.0 will be bigger. Bersih 5.0 even bigger. And then we'll have MegaBersih!" I told him that may indeed be the prevailing issue for Malaysia for years and decades to come -- providing meaningful lives for a burgeoning young population who are academic underachievers and mostly averse to hard work (or any work at all) and with little drive or ambition. An observant Robin added, "how to control this young people explosion ah Bosz? We got no tsunami or volcano or megaquake or tornado. We certainly got no famine, with everyone getting fat and lazy, especially bloggers. We got no wars to fight ..." I interjected, "you mean we have no means to cull the population? So you cull by warfare? Then maybe we should go liberate the Malay region of Patani ..." Robin said, "Patani? Where is that? Near Pattaya kah? Once this Patani land gets liberated and joins Malaysia, we'll have <i>even more</i> Melayus to march for the upcoming MegaBersih. Like this how?" </div>

1502. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1503. <br />
1504. I said, "no my friend, the four million Patani Malays endured over a century of foreign rule. They know that a main cause for their subjugation to Siam in 1902 was their own disunity and the role of Melayu <i>talibaruts</i> in their midst. They will not repeat those follies. And they will make sure new Melayu <i>talibaruts</i> will not appear in this country."  <br />
1505. <br />
1506. <br />
1507. <span style="font-size: small;">Not satisfied with the underwhelming fare of rock-hard vadey and soggy popiah, I suggested we adjourn to a nearby KFC. With a glint in his little beady eyes, Robin became melodramatic in his abhorrence of the fast food chain. "Haiyah Bosz, where can go there one." I feigned ignorance and uttered "why?" Robin replied, "you donno ah? Those racist workers will attack us lah. Wau-lau-eh, some even use steel bars maah!" I said, "where got lah my friend. Mana ada guna besi hantam lu orang?" to which Robin interjected, "got lah, they use besi one. <i>Sedap hingga menjilat besi</i> maah ...," alluding to the Colonel's famous tagline. That brought a hearty laugh out of me, not just at his surprising wit, but also at Robin's unbridled seriousness about the whole affair.</span><br />
1508. <br />
1509. <span style="font-size: small;">I said, 'that KFC fracas is old news lah buddy; anyway, how do you know the 'victim' was not the <i>real</i> culprit?" An agitated Robin pointed to KFC Malaysia's apology, staffers suspended and such. </span><br />
1510. <br />
1511. <span style="font-size: small;">"You people have some kind of fetish for apologies kah?", I asked, alluding to the nons' proclivity to demand apologies for people's reaction to situations the nons themselves started in the first place. I added, "you blatantly break the law and societal norms and then you go crybaby with your own <i>laughable fairytales of innocence</i> in the predictable DAP media circus (like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AgOizZm5U4" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyELzO_h2hw&feature=related" target="_blank">this</a>) and demand apologies from the law enforcers and others who caught you redhanded."</span></div>
1512. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1513. <br />
1514. <span style="font-size: small;">Robin fired back, "but Bosz, how come you all <i>layan</i> them and actually apologise? It would just be fodder for more demands for apologies about everything! Haiyaa, when you apologise, you sudah admit guilt lah, betui kah?" I told Robin my own form of "apology" to false accusations and outright lies would be a nice, personalised imprint of my royal knuckles right between the slanties, plus a well-placed kick up where the sun don't shine with my custom-made platypus beak tipped, koala fur fringed, saltwater crocodile hide wingtips. </span><br />
1515. <br />
1516. <span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, Robin has a point there. I believe this <i>culture of apology</i> -- budaya meminta maaf tak tentu hala -- started during the dark days of political psychedelia under the stewardship of the sleepyhead PM, the era where sheer political inertia smothered by leadership stupidity and a sense of helplessness emboldened the nons to challenge the very essence of Malaysiana. Remember when the old sleepyhead sent then Home Minister, Azmi Khalid, to Communist China to profusely apologise for alleged police maltreatment of what later turned out to be a Chinoid-looking <i>Malay</i> woman! Even the veritable New York Times headlined the story, mischievously equating the "Chinese" woman's treatment to American military atrocities at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles, and the rape and killing of ethnic-Chinese women in the immediate post-Suharto Jakarta. Wow! And as if that was not enough, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/08/world/asia/08iht-malay.html" target="_blank">the Times added</a>:-</span><br />
1517. <br />
1518. <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="color: #990000;">
1519. The Malaysian video has also sparked protests among the country's ethnic
1520. Chinese minority, who say the likelihood that the woman in the video
1521. may well have been a Malaysian citizen only attests to the
1522. discrimination they face.</blockquote>
1523. <br />
1524. <span style="font-size: small;">Wau-lau-eh. Biar betul Beng. See the crybaby syndrome erupting yet again? And to the Noo Yorkk Times no less! What next? Holocaust? Ethnic-cleansing? Well, looking at the smug faces of the overfed Ah Peks and Ah Sohs and their ching chong ching chong offsprings in their shiny Mercs and Bimmers rolling in and out of KL's Golden Triangle malls and noisily piggying out amidst 80-dish dim sum spreads while staring contemptiously at the poor natives, I don't think they are worried about being banished to a tropical </span><span class="st">Auschwitz</span><span style="font-size: small;"> anytime soon. The New York Times reporter, in fact, has a far better chance of being mugged and trashed by my Harlem Brathas in his dingy local subway than anything ever happening to these "discriminated" pendatang fat asses in Malaysia.</span><br />
1525. <br />
1526. <span style="font-size: small;">Oh yes, the moment it was revealed that the "Chinese woman" was actually a run-of-the-mill Melayu lock-up detainee, the DAP-led anti-whatever crusaders whittled into thin air and the "outrage" dissipated faster than Brother Anwar's quicky with the China hooker. The chief instigator, Teresa Kok, slithered back into her foreskin after leaving a trail of political. social, media and legal mayhem all the way to Beijing and New York. Yup, these DAP slimeballs are far from their phony multiracial, Malaysian Malaysia facade; their party is nothing more than an unbridled <i>Untuk Cina</i> movement of the ultra-totok kind.  </span><br />
1527. <br />
1528. <span style="font-size: small;">As for the KFC incident, the loud-mouthed Ah Beng ultimately got what he asked for after <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR22VXGpFUk&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">incessantly barking like a bitch in heat</a> at the overworked staffers? Yup, caught on tape (below) </span><span style="font-size: small;">posing like a 3-inch dick version of Hulk Hogan while </span><span style="font-size: small;">shouting at and provoking the employees to the chagrin of other customers.    </span><br />

1548. <br />
1549. <span style="font-size: small;">Yup, lo and behold; after igniting the mayhem, this little cissy had the nerve to put on a straight face and lie to the media with delusions of victimisation by Malay thugs working at KFC. Of course, the subversive gutter media (Malaysiakini, Malaysian Insider and such) typically lapped at such news with gusto and fuel yet another round of Malay-bashing by their cyber-choirboys (with Malay rebuttals conveniently moderated away obviously).  </span><br />
1550. <br />
1551. <span style="font-size: small;">Robin's feeble rebuttal was doused by my sense of wonder at his species. I said, "I just don't understand you people. You cannot even lose honourably. If you <i>kena tangkap</i> by the police for the myriad of offences (like <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/4/20/nation/20120420073138&sec=nation" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/5/12/nation/20110512131918&sec=nation" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/11/6/nation/9850531&sec=nation" target="_blank">this</a>) that seem to permeate your very soul, take it like a man (or a woman) lah! Terima saja laa. Kalau takmau kena cekup, jangan bikin salah laa. Kalau tak mau kena hantam, jangan start dulu laa, jaga mulut sikit laa." I asked, "Why this need, almost an obligation, to stage sham press conferences in Communist China's national language with the DAP subversives and turn every single iota of your wretched life into a racist anti-Malay freakshow?"</span><br />

1634. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1635. <span style="font-size: small;">Well, since KFC-phobe Robin won't follow me for some <i>sedap hingga menjilat besi </i>fried chicken, I summoned a waiter to order more food. A vaguely familiar character smiled and chuckled as he shuffled and squirmed towards us through a sea of sweaty torsos pungent with cheap perfume and even cheaper smokes. </span></div>
1636. <div style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

1640. <span style="font-size: small;">"Hallo boss, lama tadak nampak?" </span><br />
1641. <br />
1642. <span style="font-size: small;">Now, who could this be? By golly, it is "Tyrone",   the bumbling Rohingya PATI who added spice ... and broken bowls ... to our last visit here a couple of years ago. Tyrone is now the supervisor. He has put on quite a bit of   weight and seemed happier. </span><br />
1643. <br />
1644. <span style="font-size: small;">I asked, "mee kari ada kah" and this triggered laughs   all around as we relive the drama of Tyrone's slippery mishap that ended with five bowls of piping hot curry mee splattered on the floor near my feet. </span><br />
1645. <br />
1646. <span style="font-size: small;">We ordered curry mee of course, but this time neatly served in individual bowls placed carefully on our table.</span></div>

1657. <span style="font-size: small;">
1658. </span><br />
1659. <br />
1660. <span style="font-size: small;">With real food on the way, I told a somewhat disconsolate Robin to let go of his argumentative, the-world-owe-us-our-happiness mindset for once and enjoy the fare at this his favourite makan place. Robin said, "ok lah Bosz, arguing with you is very tiring maah, make me hungry one."</span><br />
1661. <br />
1662. <span style="font-size: small;">Before long, a more relaxed Robin was feasting his eyes on a group of giggling teenage girls. This closet romeo was beaming ear-to-ear when the girls made suggestive gestures that tantalise his fancy. I said amidst the din of the incoming evening rush hour office worker crowd, "waah buddy, finally your famous 'clubbing ah mois' have turned up in this god-forsaken joint. I thought it was just a kinky figment of your imagination. I must admit I'm beginning to find this place a wee bit tolerable now that I have something else to see apart from your Babiga doodlings." </span><br />
1663. <br />
1664. With his eyes still trained on the new attraction, Robin said, "let me enjoy the view lah Bosz; I know they are not your taste one. You must be the dangdut lady type, what's her name? Ahh yes, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0JFYWUKXUg" target="_blank">Amelina</a>. Betui kah?"<br />
1665. <br />
1666. Amelina who? <br />
1667. <br />
1668. KijangMas doing Dangdut? I asked myself. In addition to Springsteen and Dire Straits?<br />
1669. <br />
1670. Gaining my composure, I said, "sorry to disappoint you lah friend, but I'm not a dangdut kaki, although the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI-JNQW0af8&feature=related" target="_blank">Kelantan version</a> can be quite entertaining. Anyway, forget dangdut. Make way for the<i> real</i> K-Pop, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPFGj3lXXR8" target="_blank">Kelantan Pop</a> that is!"<br />
1671. <br />
1672. I added, <span style="font-size: small;">"by the way ma man, do you know that I used to have a crush on Sara Loo, a somewhat popular Chinese Malaysian singer of the nineties. A surprised Robin uttered, "ahh Bosz, you ... have a crush? On some loo lady? Wau-lau-eh, I thought you only crush people, not having a crush on someone. Serious ah Bosz? How did it go? You proposed ah? Tell me lah ..."</span><br />
1673. <br />
1674. <span style="font-size: small;">I said, "whooa, hold on to your smelly underwear man. I didn't get to meet her lah. Mana boleh propose to someone you tak kenal."</span><br />
1675. <br />
1676. <span style="font-size: small;">A bemused Robin went on the offensive, "waah Bosz, I didn't know you go for Chinese chicks. I thought you want to exterminate us all, or at least sent us back in your famous rickety tongkang." Half jokingly I said, "well Robin, your suspicions are correct; I <i>want</i> to banish all you ungrateful subversives to Pulau Bidong, off Trengganu ... except Sarah Loo and a couple others." </span><br />
1677. <br />
1678. <span style="font-size: small;">Robin inquired, "got <i>others</i> kah? Woi, how many Chinese girls you simpan in your closet ah? Got room for me kah? I don't think I want to go to your Bidong gulag lah. I want to be with your many ah mois. I will be good company for them when you are away ... he he. Can ahh Bosz ...?"  </span><br />
1679. <br />
1680. <span style="font-size: small;">I replied, "sorry buddy, the 'couple others' are Ah Tiam, my trusted auto mechanic; Ah Fatt, my Mr. Kaw Tim who, on very short notice, can arrange anything from dinner party for 20 at some obscure Port Klang seafood paradise to a tuxedo with matching suede shoes; and Ah Seng, my late father's old sometime butler/handyman/driver who has nowhere else to go." </span><br />
1681. <br />
1682. <span style="font-size: small;">A flabbergasted Robin said, "woii Bosz, this is too much. You, Mr.wanna-banish-us-chinkies-from-Malaya, have a closet retinue of one ah moi heartthrob complete with ah pek mechanic, servant and fixer. </span><br />
1683. <br />
1684. <span style="font-size: small;">This is a revelation! </span><br />
1685. <br />
1686. <span style="font-size: small;">I must buy four digit number maah. What is your age times your height divided by the square root of your waistline ahh Bosz? The numbers sure win first prize one. Ten Big, Ten Small maah ... first prize I will go holiday in Tokyo Disneyland. Oh, you can bring Sara Loo as well. I belanja. But no Ah Tiam, Ah Fatt and Ah Seng lah. Mana ada syiok with these old ah peks in our first class A-380 cabin ..."  </span><br />
1687. <br />
1688. <span style="font-size: small;">My pleasantly hilarious premonition of a first class flight aboard a spanking new A-380 with a reincarnated early 1990s Sara Loo and with my buddy Robin fighting over seating arrangements with the three ah peks was rudely cut short by the sound of bowls and chopsticks dumped on our table. An observant Tyrone asked, "waah Boss, pikir apa? Macam tengah mimpi manis saja. Ada bini baru kah?"</span><br />
1689. <br />
1690. <span style="font-size: small;">I quickly changed the subject and asked Tyrone about <i>his</i> life. Tyrone said he is now a permanent resident, having courted and married a local Malay girl in a whirlwind romance. "Sekarang saya akan jadi Bapa Melayu," he said. Confused, I asked what <i>that</i> means. Tyrone proudly said, "bini saya sudah 8 bulan mengandung lah boss. Lain bulan, dia kasi lahir saya punya anak. Itu surat beranak kita kasi masuk kaum Melayu lah. Jadi saya jadi Bapa Melayu lah." I said, "waah, banyak bijak ahh. Awak tak mau balik negeri kah?" to which Tyrone replied, "apa hal balik negeri boss? Sekarang ini Malaysia saya punya negeri. Bini saya Melayu, anak saya Melayu, saya Bapa Melayu. Kami sudah bayar deposit mau beli itu flat kos rendah dekat sana Puchong. Nanti sudah beranak, saya punya bini mau buka warong nasi campur belakang itu Motorola Sungei Way sana. Saya kasi tolong sana lah. Hari-hari cash masyuuuk. Saya banyak syukur sama itu Tuhan Allah." </span><br />
1691. <br />
1692. <span style="font-size: small;">Wow, this is the same Rohingya pendatang who could hardly cakap Melayu a couple of years ago. About to become a Bapa Melayu and thrive in his adopted land.    </span><br />
1693. <br />
1694. <span style="font-size: small;">I told Robin my prophecy has rung true. Back in our last meeting here, I said Tyrone would probably overtake him in the social entitlement ladder as he morphs into a Melayu. Between loud slurps of the curry mee, Robin acknowledges my point but his body language revealed an inability to comprehend the delicious irony. </span><br />
1695. <br />
1696. <span style="font-size: small;">As we sat there quietly consuming our truly Malaysian dish, Penang style curry mee, the logic disconnect and dichotomy of thought between two fellow citizens on </span><span style="font-size: small;">all aspects of this country's life, society and politics encapsulate failed government policy over the decades on unified schools, linguistic commonality and socio-cultural integration.</span><br />
1697. <br />
1698. <span style="font-size: small;">So folks, brace for more dissension as we further explore the dark crevices of the mind of an alienised Malaysian.</span><br />
1699. <br />
1700. <br />
1701. <span style="font-size: small;">Needless to say, to be continued ... </span><br />
1702. <br />

1705. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">First, my take of the recent Sarawak polls. As  I've expected, the Sarawak electorate dealt a knockout blow to Pakatan  Rakyat.  Pakatan's 15 seats out of 71 (one-fifth) is hardly the  performance of a self-proclaimed incoming government riding a sea of  change. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
1706. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">For all their noise, bravado and high profile  campaigning,  including parading Baru Bian as the <i>Chief Minister-in-Waiting</i>, Brother Anwar Ibrahim's PKR garnered <a href="http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v5/newsindex.php?id=579813">only three seats</a> out of 49 contested. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
1707. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">Meanwhile,  PAS' mullahs jived and shuffled in longboats and longhouses and brought  back a big round Omega-3 Egg on their return flight to the peninsula,  having obtained all of one percent of the vote. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
1708. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">Yeah, I know, the Cina Totok areas chose to remain <i>perpetually alienated from the mainstream</i>  by voting DAP.  But that's just typical of this lost tribe, who has now  succeeded in turning themselves into an isolated island of irrelevance  in Sarawak affairs. With only two Chinese left standing among BN's 55  reps, Chinese presence in Taib Mahmud's new cabinet is now  inconsequential.  Well, Ah Kow, don't go bitchin' if your people have no  direct say in Sarawak state affairs. Enjoy your five-year stint in the  political wilderness.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
1709. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">So was PM Najib Razak's pandering to the Chinese minority in Sarawak worth it? </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
1710. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">Nope.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
1711. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"> These ethnocentric beings </span><span style="font-size: 130%;">have been infected en masse by the DAP  hyper-racism virus, and </span><span style="font-size: 130%;">have  distanced themselves from the nation's socio-cultural mainstream and  BN's politics of consensus and moderation further than ever before.  </span><br />
1712. <br />
1713. <span style="font-size: 130%;">The estrangement-by-choice attitude of Malaysia's ethnic-Chinese minority is also a damning indictment of </span><span style="font-size: 130%;">Najib's <b><i>1 Malaysia</i></b>  fantasy. Listen up Jib, the Chinese have no desire to be part of the large  happy multicultural, multilingual, multiphonic family of your dreams.  Likewise the various sub-groups collectively tagged as "Indians." Only  the ever-hospitable, charitable and magnanimous Malays are embracing </span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><b><i>1 Malaysia</i></b></span><span style="font-size: 130%;">  with a myriad of compromises and dilution of their lingua-cultural  essence in their own land, and they do this to their own detriment as the  nons tenaciously push their  singular agenda of self-alienation and zero  linguistic, cultural and religious compromise. </span><span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
1714. <br />
1715. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">I've stressed many times in the past and I will repeat again:-</span><br />
1716. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> <i> </i></span><br />
1717. <span style="font-size: 130%;"><i>The nons are gone</i>.</span><br />
1718. <br />
1719. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> Forget this dwindling fringe group. Let them languish in their cesspool of social inertia and political irrelevance. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
1720. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">I said this <a href="http://deminegara.blogspot.com/2009/04/losers-luncheon-and-3-in-1-malaysia.html">exactly two years ago</a>:-</span><br />
1721. <br />
1722. </div><blockquote><div style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">... the non-Malays have <span style="font-style: italic;">berpaling tadah</span>  en masse  to Pakatan. They have tasted the intoxicating nectar of power  and it is  beyond Najib or anyone else to turn them over to the BN in  the  foreseeable future. Whatever goodies and  giveaways thrown at these   people now would just be wasted trump cards earning nothing in return.   And these concessions are politically almost impossible to retract or   take back once they are dished out.</span></div><div style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><br />
1723. </span></div><div style="color: #0c343d; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">My   advise to Najib and his team is to lay off these wayward non-Malays  for  now. Ignore and forget these hopelessly seduced bigots and  chauvinists  and let them <span style="font-style: italic;">tango </span>and<span style="font-style: italic;"> cha cha</span> and<span style="font-style: italic;"> joget</span>   to their hearts content with the Pakatan gang until the honeymoon ends   in a self-destructing calamity of scandals, failed expectations and   infighting that would mushroom as PRU13 inches closer.</span></div></blockquote><br />
1724. <span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
1725. <span style="font-size: 130%;">That  statement is even truer today. Piles after piles of cash,  concessions and conciliatory cuddles showered by Najib and his Barisan  Nasional government failed to turn-over the nons, not in the peninsula,  not in Sarawak. I've also said in the past that even if Najib speaks  nothing but Mandarin and eat his favourite <i>ikan patin masak tempoyak</i> with chopsticks, the nons will still vote DAP/Pakatan.</span><br />
1726. <br />
1727. <span style="font-size: 130%;">So why bother?  </span><br />
1728. <br />
1729. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
1730. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Do you persist in serenading a woman (... or a man) who despises you and who will not be your mate no matter what?</span><br />
1731. <br />
1732. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Tak malu ka?</span><br />
1733. <br />
1734. <span style="font-size: 130%;">  Cukup lah. Leave the nons alone. Let them languish in their  chauvinistic, anti-Malay, anti-national, anti-everything little cocoons   tucked in their isolated enclaves. We as a nation need to move on. No  more costly political serenades, with millions of tax-payers' ringgits  given to unconstitutional schools, not to mention language and cultural  appeasement bordering on the treasonous.</span><br />
1735. <span style="font-size: 130%;"><br />
1736. </span><br />
1737. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Dah la tu Jib ..... kalau dia orang dah tak mau, tak sudi, kau nak goda apa lagi?</span><br />
1738. <br />
1739. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
1740. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Talking about <i>goda</i>, Anwar Ibrahim's seductive power over Malaysians clamouring for change has all but dissipated. </span><br />
1741. <br />
1742. <span style="font-size: 130%;">The  Malays are finding this character too elusive, too unsavory,  indeed  politically too tiresome and complicated.  Even the whacky collection of  Malay Apologists, the <i>Melayu Liberal</i> and the phony, plasticky   pseudo-intellectual Malays have increasingly jettisoned themselves from  his wayward, way off-tangent political bandwagon.</span><br />
1743. <br />
1744. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
1745. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Brother Anwar's residual supporters these days are the rabid anti-Malays who see in him the perfect <i>Malai Lembu</i>,  the archtypal Malay stooge who will sell his soul to the nons in order  to achieve his worldly desires. Brother Anwar to these subversives is  nothing more than a glorified Class F contractor who, for a pittance or a  Chinese hooker or two, willingly fronts the Chinaman's bid for the <i>bina longkang tepi sekolah</i> contract. Of course, in the DAP/Pakatan scheme of things, this <i>longkang</i> </span><span style="font-size: 130%;">Brother Anwar and his band of <i>Malai Lembus</i> help build is a </span><span style="font-size: 130%;">network  of open sewer oozing with toxic racial politics infecting the heart of  this nation, contaminating the social ecosystem with an epidemic of  racial bigotry and religious animosity. </span><span style="font-size: 130%;">  </span><br />
1746. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
1747. <br />
1748. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Hence,  no amount of character flaws radiating from Brother Anwar's persona   and no amount of lurid scandals and controversies afflicting his  personal life  will turn away his hardcore anti-Melayu benefactors. You  see, to these subversives, the moral and ethical defects are part and parcel of the mentality of their <i>Malai Lembu </i>proxies and frontmen. The more morally defective the stooge, the better.</span><br />

1755. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Where are we heading then?</span><br />
1756. <br />
1757. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Do we now have a genuine two-party political landscape?</span><br />
1758. <br />
1759. <span style="font-size: 130%;">No.</span><br />
1760. <br />
1761. <span style="font-size: 130%;">What we now have are two parallel universes pulling this nation apart along racial lines. </span><br />
1762. <br />
1763. <span style="font-size: 130%;">The UMNO/BN nationalistic  Malays and Borneo Bumiputras are now openly challenged by the large  majority of the nation's nons who, via the DAP's persistent prodding,  have morphed into bands of stressful, frustrated anti-Malays bent on  subverting every conceivable facet of Malaysia's socio-political and  economic essence. Of course, whenever tactically necessary,  these  DAP-led subversives will piggyback on the PAS and PKR <i>Malai Lembus</i> to concoct a semblance of "multiracialism" to their perverted, nation-wrecking cause.</span><br />
1764. <span style="font-size: 130%;"><br />
1765. </span><br />
1766. <span style="font-size: 130%;">The Sarawak elections is an obvious example of the subversives' cunning tactic of publicly riding the <i>Malai Lembu </i>frontmen  while playing the racial card in the Chinese enclaves. While Brother  Anwar imperiously shuffles around his now tummiless torso amid his usual  delusions of grandeur, talking about his party's  upcoming control of  the Chief Ministership and whatnot, and while the white jubah-clad PAS  mullahs foolishly court free-spirited Dayaks in comedic scenes taken  right out of <i>The Simpsons</i>, the well-oiled DAP anti-Melayu machine  efficiently mops up Chinese support in their urban enclaves. Hence,  almost expectantly, the DAP secured 12 seats while big talking PKR  scraped through with only three seats and the PAS mullahs brought back  nothing but  exaggerated tales to their ignorant flock of their sojourn  in headhunter country. The local BN-component Chinese-based SUPP was <a href="http://elections.thestar.com.my/sarawak/news/story.asp?file=/2011/4/17/sarawakpolls/8500847&sec=sarawakpolls">decimated</a>, with only two seats won by their ethnic-Chinese candidates. The other four SUPP seats  were won by Dayaks.    </span><br />
1767. <span style="font-size: 130%;"><br />
1768. </span><br />
1769. <span style="font-size: 130%;">DAP's  Sarawak performance and the anemic showing of PKR and PAS there marked the  end of the Pakatan Rakyat as a viable nationwide demographically  representative counterweight to the Barisan Nasional. For all intents  and purposes, except for pockets of the medieval Malay heartland ruled  by 8th century mullahs,  the Pakatan is now firmly non-Malay (read:  Chinese)  in soul and character.</span><br />
1770. <span style="font-size: 130%;"><br />
1771. </span><br />
1772. <span style="font-size: 130%;">What does that mean?</span><br />
1773. <br />
1774. <span style="font-size: 130%;">It means that without wide ranging Malay/Bumiputra support across the national landscape, <b>Pakatan Rakyat has turned into nothing more than a DAP-led Chinese chauvinist front</b> abetted by a dwindling pool of PKR and PAS <i>Malai Lembus</i>.</span><br />
1775. <br />
1776. <span style="font-size: 130%;">And  their chances of taking over Putrajaya in PRU13 is about equivalent to  seeing Nik Aziz Nik Mat riding my Ducati Multistrada 620 to KL's Hard  Rock Cafe clad in a <i>Fruit-of-the-Loom</i> t-shirt and tattered <i>Levi's Buttonfly 501</i> topped by a Confederate flag bandana.  Yup folks, zilch.</span><br />
1777. <br />
1778. <span style="font-size: 130%;">All I can say is: "party's over, subversives!"     </span><br />
1779. <br />
1780. <span style="font-size: 130%;">I  hope you malignant Malay haters enjoyed it while it lasted. Yeah, I  enjoyed it too. I enjoyed the side splitting laughs upon seeing you  people talk big in the ceramah circuit and the subversive blogs, where  you actually think you have a say in national politics, in charting the  course of this nation's future, as if you can launch a Malaysian  political revolution without the Malay nationalists and  likeminded nons  of the patriotic kind. </span><br />

1793. <br />
1794. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Oh, and of course, a new twist to this grand cyber-delusion entailed the creation of a "Third Force," where some <i>council of bored flaccid middle-aged nons</i>  would hand-pick the "most suitable candidates" (read: impeccable  anti-Malay, anti-NEP, anti-153 credentials) to contest and win seats  come PRU13. Wow, talk about delusional thoughts. Haiya, Uncle Aloysius,  so easy one ah? Just pick and win, pick and win. Pilih dan menang. Ini  macam lu punya itu <i>scratch-and-win</i> scam ka?</span><br />

1800. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Still think the pick and win, <i>pilih dan menang</i> approach can work?</span><br />
1801. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
1802. <br />
1803. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Solli uncle, the political landscape is changing lah. Thanks to the  politics of unadulterated racial sentiment by your DAP comrades and the  never-ending maladies of your numero uno <i>Malai Lembu</i>, the Malay/Bumiputra mainstream are returning to UMNO/BN.</span><br />
1804. <br />
1805. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Do  your math lah uncle. The 12 state seats won by the DAP in Sarawak  translate only into 4-5 seats in the federal parliament come PRU13. </span><br />

1810. <br />
1811. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Listen,  the Pak Lah-induced socio-political aberration of the past half-decade,  which culminated in the PRU12 tsunami that gave a sense of political  empowerment to a bizarre collection of Malay haters, anarchists and  assorted bigots, crooks and tricksters riding on the backs of clueless <i>Malai Lembus</i>  have boiled over. It has run its  course.</span><br />
1812. <br />
1813. <span style="font-size: 130%;">The  flimsy Pakatan house of cards built by the rabid DAP anti-Melayus on the  fragile Malay Apologist foundation of the chameleonic Anwar Ibrahim  and  half-asleep medieval mullahs are crumbling faster than Anwar's alibi  in the SexOmega Saga.. One by one, the nuts and bolts of this phony  political edifice pops out of the fragile Malay base as formerly diehard  Anwaristas  -- Fairuz Khairuddin, Sallehuddin Hashim, Zulkifli Nordin,  Zaharin Hashim -- and Malay opportunists such as Zaid Ibrahim left the  circus, effectively diluting Pakatan's Malay essence.</span><br />
1814. <br />
1815. <span style="font-size: 130%;">What then for Brother Anwar?</span><br />
1816. <br />
1817. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
1818. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Well,  between Sodomy II, the SexOmega Saga, a crash diet to flatten his  breadbasket and damning revelations by erstwhile Pakatan chief cyber  cheerleader, RPK, I would think he has his hands full.</span><br />
1819. <br />
1820. <span style="font-size: 130%;">I've received many e-mails from the DN diaspora seeking my thoughts of the sexcapade caught on infrared CCTV.</span><br />
1821. <br />
1822. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Well, what more can be said about the SexOmega Saga?</span><br />
1823. <br />
1824. <span style="font-size: 130%;">The   physical resemblance and subtle mannerisms of the towel-clad male  subject have led many Malaysians to believe that he is indeed Brother  Anwar. I think more crucially, Anwar's (over)reaction to the whole  matter enhances this conjecture among nonpartisan observers. And his  inability to produce the Omega watch effectively wraps up the  case in the eyes of many.</span><br />
1825. <br />
1826. <span style="font-size: 130%;">It  may or may not be him. But the damage's done. And Brother Anwar's  meltdown with the reporter in Sarawak over the Omega watch issue  unraveled a troubling, unsavory temperament not befitting a PM-wannabe.   </span><br />
1827. <br />
1828. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Logic dictates  that if I'm not involved in the lurid scenes with the Chinese hooker,  I  would enjoy a hearty laugh at the video "evidence" and would be the  first to insist that it be shown to everyone everywhere, including in  parliament and on stadium bigscreens at halftime of Malaysian Super  League matches. Yeah, why give a hoot if it was not me drooling over the  Chinadoll in the video? And this would quickly douse the flames of the  Datuk T trio. I would also scoff at the Omega watch issue ..... and  would either quickly show the real Omega watch or recall the moment my  family and I discovered the watch missing, preferably long before the purported  February 21st date of the video.</span><br />
1829. <br />
1830. <span style="font-size: 130%;">I  would also make fun of the "actor," critiquing that his impersonation  is subpar and then volunteer impromptu tutorials with press cameras blazing  on how he could be me.</span><br />
1831. <br />
1832. <span style="font-size: 130%;">I  would crack jokes about the video at every opportunity and milk the  issue dry  until the "other side" cannot take it any longer and crumbles  under the weight of their own falsehood and treachery, with the key  perpetrators ending up in the slammer on a long charge sheet.   </span><br />
1833. <br />
1834. <span style="font-size: 130%;">See? </span><br />
1835. <br />
1836. <span style="font-size: 130%;">All these actions are within Brother Anwar's talented grasp. </span><br />
1837. <br />
1838. <span style="font-size: 130%;">He  is a born performer, indeed, he is a master of the theatrics, with an  uncanny ability to convincingly mimic back pain and to seamlessly switch between languages and dialects and  impersonate such freakish luminaries as Samy Vellu and Rafidah Aziz.</span><br />

1869. <br />
1870. <span style="font-size: 130%;">It  is more apt for the brother to be referred in the past tense. And I'm  sure genuinely "reform" minded Malaysians would agree that Anwar  Ibrahim's time is up, he's window of opportunity closed, and he is well  past his <i>sell by</i> date. September 16, 2008 was indeed a political  milestone, not in the formation of a Pakatan Rakyat federal government.  It marked the end of Anwar's political credibility and ability to lead a  viable, truly representative alternative to the Barisan Nasional.</span><br />

1872. </span><br />
1873. <span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
1874. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Anwar's obsessive quest for the  PM-ship is now backed predominantly by the left-wing hard core anti-Melayus and  the usual collection of anarchists and anti-social rabble rousers. To  these rabid racists masquerading as liberal "democrats" and "free speech" advocates, Brother Anwar is still the perfect <i>Malai Lembu</i>  --  the simpleton, malleable Class F contractor -- to be the Melayu  frontman  for their nation-wrecking agenda. A quick browse of the subversive blogs   readily reveal this sentiment. Quite understandably, they see no other  personality capable of integrating the  disparate, seemingly incompatible and irreconcilable ethno-religious  political parties into a force capable of challenging UMNO/BN.</span><br />
1875. <span style="font-size: 130%;">  <br />
1876. </span><br />
1877. <span style="font-size: 130%;">As for Anwar Ibrahim, he will  go down in history as the most divisive, deceptive, degenerate,  deceitful and destructive, not to mention deviant, political animal ever  to slither in the confused, tangled web of the Malaysian social zoo.</span><br />
1878. <br />
1879. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Adding to the troubles of this <i>Malai Lembu</i> Alpha Male is RPK, the erstwhile heroic, almost mythical cyber-flagbearer   of Anwar's rabid racist anti-Melayu support base.

1884. <br />
1885. <span style="font-size: 130%;">As he alluded in the TV3 expose, he was manipulated to undertake increasingly  bizarre -- indeed, <i>kamikaze </i>--  acts as the line between cyber-rhetoric and the real world got blurred  amidst the prompting of political opportunists coupled by  the  cheerleadings of <i>Malaysia Today</i>'s choirboys.</span><br />

Ever more sensational stories were churned but these could not satiate the hungry hordes. RPK then did the ultimate – he <i>himself </i>became the story … With RPK in the starring role, who needs third party revelations? He <i>is</i> the story! He can craft his own play and act in his own drama. He has reached the nirvana of SoPo blogging ... A sense of invulnerability descended upon the <i>Malaysia Today</i> cyber-habitat and the mystique of RPK’s infallibility permeated his congregation. </span></div></blockquote><blockquote style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">     <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">The vast majority of RPK’s supporters are just armchair quarterbacks and fair weather cheerleaders and people with nothing better to do who … outsourced and sub-con their political activism to this poor chap from the airconditioned comfort of their homes and offices, from their cosy beds and plush sofas, cybercafés and chic gourmet coffee joints. They are not even representative of the country, in terms of demographics, dispersion and political inclination. These junkies are more akin to the lunatic fringe than to the mainstream of Malaysian society ... RPK … [was] conned by these people … These parasites and blood suckers ruined his life ...</span></div></blockquote><br />
1889. <blockquote style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">RPK himself is not really a grave threat to national security. His incoherent rantings and pathological animosity towards BN/UMNO and prominent UMNO personalities are old news. RPK is a known loud-mouth, a prickly irritant with a penchant for the dramatic. For many, his revelations and cyber activism are no more than pure entertainment, melodramatic political gossip … a much needed comic relief from the socio-political quagmire of the past 3-4 years under Pak Lah’s disastrous watch. But RPK’s real fault lies in his propagation of <i>Malaysia Today</i> as a cyber platform for assorted bigoted and racist characters to spew their venom against the Malays and, in more than one instance, to ridicule Islam ... <span> </span>Indeed, MT Junkies are the bigger threats to national security. These racists, bigots and cyber-misfits hide behind their anonymity to flood <i>Malaysia Today</i> with venomous racist postings, instigating hatred for the Malay majority, ridiculing Islam, and spewing seditious spins to various national issues.</span></div></blockquote><blockquote style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">        </blockquote><blockquote style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">             </blockquote><blockquote style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">     <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">Finally, where is Anwar Ibrahim? What is his stand on RPK’s detention? RPK gave his life, metaphorically speaking, to uphold Anwar’s “ideals.” <b>RPK bet the ranch on Anwar becoming PM on 916 and came out a loser, a pathetic flat broke loser. </b>Has Anwar and gang even addressed the RPK ISA issue? Indeed, his silence is deafening. What about Lim Kit Siang? Once Teresa Kok and the Sin Chew reporter got out, Unker Kit has disappeared as well. What about PAS? Do you think either the old ulamas or the younger Islamist cadres have anything in common with RPK? Do you think they like RPK? ... <span></span>you expect PAS to sympathise with RPK? You expect PAS to fight for RPK amidst <i>Malaysia Today</i>’s anti-Islamic postings and its readers’ rabid rantings against Islam?<span>  </span>In a nutshell, do you think the Pakatan Rakyat gives a hoot about RPK? No. He was a useful tool. But he was also a disposable tool. RPK is no use to them now. Indeed, he is now a distraction. They want to govern the nation. They have no time for this old chap. To them, RPK is just a lost soul who threw too many dices in his own little crapshoot. Their focus is on 27.5 million men and women. Not one guy who spoke and wrote too much. And they won’t glorify, deify or make a martyr out of RPK either. That’s already reserved for one man.</span></div></blockquote><blockquote style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">     <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">Let this be a lesson to other bloggers.

1890. <br />
1891. <span style="font-size: 130%;">By his own admission, RPK is nothing  but a pawn in a high stake political chess game.  Yup, a gullible pawn,  a compliant oaf harnessed to bulldoze through the anti-Malay agenda of his deep  pocket benefactors.</span><br />
1892. <br />
1893. <span style="font-size: 130%;">RPK is the latest in a long line of Malay  Apologists who -- via the hard way -- finally saw the  true nature of the subversives, the self-alienising species driven by an obsessive anti-Malay agenda and bent on wrecking the very essence of  this nation -- her history, lingua-cultural identity and other key symbols of nationhood. <br />
1894. </span><br />
1895. <br />
1896. <span style="font-size: 130%;">Like other "liberated" ex-<i>Malai Lembus</i>,  RPK in the eyes of his former "users" morphed from beloved Demigod, a  veritable cyber deity, to a pariah cyber-untouchable.

The  husband and wife team now work for money. His confession now is more  proof that he works for money. He is also lying again. Many people heard  him say that the PM's wife was there at the plantation and she  personally shot Altantuya Sharibuu. Now he says he never said such a  thing. Shafee Abdullah was right - RPK is a pariah. Now he has even  exposed his friend Din Merican. When the ship goes down, the rats jump  off first.”</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"> <br />

1933. </span></div><div style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Malaysia's victorious run in the AFF Suzuki Cup -- the <i>ASEAN World Cup</i>  -- rekindled our patriotism to heights not seen since the epic Thomas  Cup win of 1992. The exploits of our Harimau Malaya warriors captured  our imagination, as the nation is mesmerised by the team's spirited  performance against all odds, not least the fanatical antics of  Indonesian supporters in Jakarta. Being extricated out of a hotel under  siege and transported to the stadium and back </span><span style="font-size: large;">inside a convoy of armoured personnel carriers is certainly a first in world soccer -- another <i>Malaysia Boleh</i> moment to cherish.</span></div><br />

1937. <br />
1938. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">With  continued guidance, competent coaching and less distraction from  bandwagon-jumping politicians, our Harimau Malaya will only get stronger  as this is essentially the B team, with at least 10 first choice  players injured or unavailable. The AFF Cup winning squad would  certainly be pressured for places by the  likes of Aidil Zafuan, Zaquan  Adha, Baddrol Bathtiar and S. Chanturu plus such established stalwarts  such as Indra Putra Mahyuddin, Norhafiz Zamani Misbah and Shukor Adan.  This bodes well for Malaysian football as the strength in depth and  competition for places would only strengthen Harimau Malaya as we  compete beyond the ASEAN region. </span></div><div style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />
1939. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I  personally witnessed Malaysia's 3-0 demolition of Indonesia in the  first leg of the final at Bukit Jalil. I've had my share of sporting  events -- from the old Merdeka Tournament to NBA basketball and NFL grid  iron to NCAA college football to the 1984 LA Olympics and USA 1994  World Cup -- but the electric atmosphere, the patriotic frenzy, the<i> pride to be Malaysian</i> I witnessed at the stadium was special. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><br />
1940. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps we were playing the <i>auld enemy</i>,  Indonesia, in a local derby between two brother nations of the Malay  World. Perhaps the trash-talk on Facebook, Twitter and innumerable cyber  forum sites ignited this surge of patriotic pride. Or perhaps the 5-1  hiding in Jakarta must be avenged. But whatever the cause, the cavernous  100,000 capacity stadium was filled to the brim, with thousands more  ticketless fans locked outside.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />
1941. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #660000; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To  soak in the atmosphere, my party took public transport – the LRT – to  and fro between the Setiawangsa and Bukit Jalil stations.  The journey  turned out to be quite memorable. At every station as we got closer to  the stadium, ever increasing Malaysian fans resplendent in their Harimau  Malaya livery and wrapped in the <i>Jalur Gemilang</i> joined in the merriment, with spontaneous hearty renditions of <i>Inilah Barisan Kita </i>amidst  the din of air horns and various mutations of the vuvuzela. I couldn’t  help but snigger at the shell-shocked faces of the multifarious  foreigners and patently obvious illegals who nowadays seem to roam  boldly, freely and noisily in KL’s public transport system. Malaysian  patriots reclaimed the LRT at least on that day.</span></div><br />
1942. <span style="font-size: large;">At  Bukit Jalil, as the floodgates opened -- 1-0, then 2-0, then 3-0, a  legit penalty denied -- with the young Harimau Malaya warriors devouring  a shell-shocked Garuda squad, the patriotic pride and camaraderie among  the Malaysian supporters reached frenzied proportions.  Likewise the  huge crowd that watched the Jakarta return leg at Dataran Merdeka's big  screen as Malaysia clinched the tie on aggregate. Of course, the throng  of fans that overwhelmed KLIA security upon the team's return was almost  without precedence.  Quite understandably, PM Najib and other  politicians quickly cashed in on this "feel good" factor and gleefully  jumped on the bandwagon with various pronouncements and incentives.<br />

1944. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Across  the land, Malaysians proudly wear their replica Harimau Malaya jerseys.  Sites dedicated to Malaysian football proliferate in cyberspace. Check  out the numerous Facebook pages set-up by Harimau Malaya fans and browse  through the often heated cyber-sparring with still sore Indonesian  fans. Amidst all the cyber-bravado, "aku bangga jadi anak Malaysia"  forms the basis of the Malaysian replies to tragically comedic Indo  provocations centered around stolen songs and costumes and now even <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsF_10V4Z9s">rendang, kunyit</a> and various condiments as incited by their unethical media plying questionable agendas. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />

Zahid Hamidi  was not incorrect when he  questioned the nons' patriotism for their lack of interest in signing up  for the armed services (or for that matter the Bomba, JPJ, Customs and  other "national service" agencies).  It can, of course, be argued that  people with "immigrant mentalities" worldwide do not join such  instruments of the established order, hence, bringing into question and  debate <i>the state of mind</i> of the nons in this country, notwithstanding the fact that most are already 3rd-4th generation Malaysians.  </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />

1996. <span style="font-size: large;">The  way I see it, most of you nons lack a sense of belonging in this  country. You don't quite fit-in beyond your immediate enclaves. This  means that you </span><span style="font-size: large;">are just pretenders, yup, phony plasticky <i>citizens of convenience</i>.  To suit your needs, you'll pretend to be a Malaysian rakyat. You  conveniently morph into a "Malaysian" to get your precious MYCards,  priceless Malaysian passports, to acquire properties and to partake in  your business activities, legal or otherwise. With those needs satiated,  you typically revert to your default mode of being perpetually  bitching, rabid Malay-hating subversives bad mouthing my <i>Tanah Tumpah Darah</i> at every opportunity in the real and virtual worlds.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />

1998. <br />
1999. <span style="font-size: large;">And to add an ironic twist to this delusional pantomime, </span><span style="font-size: large;">you nons are very adept at <i>pretending</i>  to be the "mainstream" to a gullible foreign press and unabashedly use  the "kami rakyat Malaysia" or "saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia" and "we have a  nation to take back" taglines in your subversive campaigns to reforge  Malaysia into some sort of <i>utopia for the nons </i>that exists only in the minds of bored middle-aged underemployed identity-challenged lawyers.</span><br />

Of course, our national football and hockey teams have become an all-Malay affair nowadays. </span><br />

2007. <br />
2008. <span style="font-size: large;">Yeah  sure, many nons like my friend Robin say that they just couldn't be  bothered by the local football or hockey scene. We now have a situation  where the typical  Chan Yee How a.k.a. "Jimmy Chan" (with a "Tiffany  Tan" -- who wouldn't know a <i>foot</i>ball from other balls -- in tow) or a  borderline obese John Muthiah </span><span style="font-size: large;">would  foam in the mouth when they talk about Liverpool or Chelsea and the EPL  -- knowing even the most obscure of players and dissecting every move  and "expertly" analysing team tactics over endless mugs of teh tarik at  the kopitiam and mamak stalls until the wee hours of the morning -- when  in reality these people have hardly <i>touched</i> a real life soccer  ball, let alone kick it and, Tuhan forbid, actually play a competitive  football match on the muddy grassfield or partake in organised  competition in their schooldays and beyond. </span><br />
2009. <br />
2010. <span style="font-size: large;">An ESPN  STARSports commentator actually said during one of Malaysia's early  round AFF games that Malaysians are among the world's most avid EPL fans  BUT have never set foot in a real stadium in their own country. Agreed,  but this applies more aptly to the nons. Obviously the ESPN guy has  never attended a Selangor or Kedah home game and I suggest you people  attend a <a href="http://www.theredwarriors.com/index.php">Kelantan</a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=97137415549#%21/group.php?gid=97137415549&v=wall">Red Warriors</a> game  in Kota Bharu or when Kelantan makes its annual pilgrimage to Bukit  Jalil for either the Malaysia Cup or FA Cup final to  appreciate true-blooded Malaysian football pride and passion that would  match the delirious <i>Garuda Di Dadaku</i> supporters at Jakarta's Gelora Bung Karno.</span><br />

2017. <div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Patriotism and politics go hand in hand if you want to appeal to the Malay masses. And this is where the nons lost the plot.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
2018. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You  see, the predominant politics of the nons -- as manifested by the  Pakatan Rakyat (see the liberal use of "rakyat" by these people) -- is  not about patriotic pride or national advancement. Their politics is  driven by hate, by huge chips on their shoulders against the imaginary  Malay bogeymen and </span><span style="font-size: large;">based on personality cults revolving around the DAP Ah Peks and a feisty old Baii fronted by Malay Apologists such as </span><span style="font-size: large;">Brother Anwar, acclaimed by his flock as <i>Anugerah Tuhan</i>, God's gift to this country.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />
2019. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The  nons created their current state of political confusion -- with  alternative fronts and such -- when they began to belief their own  rhetoric and propaganda in a weird process of political  self-proselytising among the already converted subversives. A cursory  glance in political fantasy sites such as the entertaining People's  Parliament (haiya .... again self-designating themselves as representing  the rakyat, the "people") reveals the skewed mindset of the  congregation.  The dozen odd regulars in that blog, blinded by their  pathological hatred of the Malays (code named "BN/UMNO" of course), are  immersed in a delusional orgy of self-relevance, where they actually  think a handful of <i>tak tau cakap Malayu</i> nons -- alienated from  grassroot Malaysiana with not even an iota of patriotism -- would  determine the future of Malaysian politics from Kuala Perlis to Tumpat  to Samarahan to Semporna. These people think Malaysia is a neat little collection of Bandar Utamas or Seri Kembangans where a bunch of <i>kaypoh</i> Ah Sohs and some nothing-better-to-do Indian <i>loyars </i>can influence public opinion and impact the ballot box.<i><br />
2020. </i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><br />
2021. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hence the birth of the MCLM and the <i>Third Force. </i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><br />
2022. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Of  course, these new political movements are a godsend to BN, particularly  UMNO's wobbly political sidekicks, MCA, Gerakan and MIC. Third Force  candidates won't win a single seat, but they would cannibalise enough  anti-Malay votes from Pakatan to swing the results to BN's favour in  15-20 marginal seats such as Batu, Kelana Jaya and Wangsa Maju come  PRU13.     </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />
2023. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wouldn't be surprised if BN/UMNO makes sure MCLM and the Third Force <i>thrive </i>over the next six months. I can imagine BN/UMNO's cryptic cheer each time the <i>Third Force</i> earmarks yet  another loud-mouth Malay-hating lawyer from the fringes of the social  cesspool to be the alternative candidate to BN and PR in PRU13.  Of  course, Brother Anwar's gang might attempt to co-opt the <i>Third Force</i>  by absorbing many of the nominees and make them PR candidates, but  these bored, restless, angry menopausal middle-aged men and women -- the  ultimate toxic <i>Trojan Horses</i> -- would wreak further havoc  inside PKR and DAP with their anarchist streak wrapped in a wickedly  condescending "we know what's good for you" demeanour. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />
2024. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">These  nons never cease to amaze me with their distorted view of their actual  relevance and clout in the real Malaysia. I call this ailment the <i>acute inbred cyber proselytising syndrome</i>,  a situation where small groups of anxious people from the lunatic  fringes of society actually believe their own mutually reinforcing  delusional thoughts to the point where they are <i>convinced </i>they can unilaterally retrofit (as the <i>only</i>  "moving part" of Malaysia's complex socio-dynamics while the Malay  Muslim majority lies frozen in suspended animation) the predominant  societal ecosystem to suit their own parochial,  prejudiced-laced ethno-cultural existence. </span><br />

2031. <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">This irrational sense of relevance to  Malaysian politics is demonstrated by the occasional candlelight vigils over nothing. </span><span style="font-size: large;">You  see, whenever a couple dozen nons hold a candlelight vigil to protest  something (... usually a long-winded way to spew some  pent-up anti-Malay, anti-Muslim sentiment), they would unabashedly  proclaim themselves as the voice and face of the Rakyat, as the anointed  front that will "take back" this country from some imaginary dark  force. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

2137. <br />
2138. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Yes,  I   must say that the anti-Malays are much smarter propagandists. Their    ability to weave fantasy into reality and spin facts to suit their  agendas shape the   mindset of not only  their fellow non-Malays but  many Malays as well.</span>
2139. <br />
2140. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Perkasa   is a case in point.
2141. <br />
2142. <br />The  anti-Malays across the political spectrum  have effectively isolated  Perkasa as an extremist, racist fringe group.   Even the mainstream  media nowadays refer to Perkasa as "right-wing" and  "radical" and  giving an impression of an intolerant hate group bent on  harassing and  victimising non-Malays via extra-judicial and  unconstitutional means.
2143. <br />
2144. <br />Betul ka?
2145. <br />
2146. <br />Firstly,  and in an ironic opening twist to this ongoing saga, Perkasa  was  the  “creation” of the rabid anti-Malays themselves. Yes, you  Chinese  segregationists and Hindraf cock-talkers and DAP/PKR   historio-revisionists provided the primeval amino acids and basic life   ingredients that gave rise to an embryonic Perkasa out of your own gooey   cesspool of intolerance and degenerative political culture.
2147. <br />
2148. <br />Perkasa    was formed in the aftermath of BN’s PRU12 carnage, where a 3-way  split  of   the Malay votes concurrent with a unified non-Malay voting  bloc   triggered the infamous political tsunami which saw an emboldened   non-Malay populace revealing their gory racist inclinations for all to   see and left unchecked by a crippled government. Perkasa filled the   gaping communal vacuum as the Pak Lah and now the Najib administrations   seemed woefully incapable of stemming the relentless anti-Malay,   anti-unity, anti-Article 153 attacks by the likes of Hindraf and Dong   Jiao Zhong, with the communal ambers fanned by opportunist hate mongers   in DAP, PKR and other non-Malay political parties.  </span>
2149. <br />
2150. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Secondly,  from its inception, Perkasa's raison d'être was to uphold  constitutional provisions impinging on the   rights and special position  of the Malays and other Bumiputras.   Perkasa  does not advocate any  erosion of the inherent rights of the  “lain-lains.”  <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/4/29/nation/20100429172031&sec=nation">Perkasa acts</a> <span style="font-style: italic;">only</span> when the <span style="font-style: italic;">lain-lains</span>  encroach  on Malay issues and challenge  the Malay special position as  enshrined in Article  153 of the federal  constitution, yeah the <span style="font-style: italic;">quid pro quo</span>  for the <span style="font-style: italic;">kerakyatan percuma</span>  given to your stateless latok nenek which,  of course, now enabled you  people to have this discourse with me in the  first place.
2151. <br />
2152. <br />Hence,  I don’t understand how the MCA,  Gerakan, DAP, PKR, non-Malay NGOs and  assorted chronic Malay haters   could define Perkasa as an  extremist,  racist group  when Perkasa’s sole purpose is just to uphold the  Constitution, nothing more than that. I don't  recall Perkasa calling  for the expropriation of Chinese wealth, ill-gotten or otherwise; or for   the forfeiture of non-Malays' right to vote on account of their   obstinate refusal to master the national language, Bahasa Melayu, at a   level expected of voting citizens; or protesting the Najib government's   dishing out of hundreds of millions of tongkat-ringgits to support   Chinese and Indian-centric facilities and causes and the  lavish  government spending on national level Kong Xi Fa Cai and  Deepavali and  Christmas parties although the constitutionality of these  spending  binges on the tax-payers' account could be questioned?        </span>
2153. <br />
2154. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >So why all the excitement?
2155. <br />
2156. <br />Yeah why?
2157. <br />
2158. <br />It  is because Perkasa is now the sole viable cohesive Malay force to   counter the incessant communal assault by the non-Malays who had sensed a   <span style="font-style: italic;">once-in-a-lifetime socio-political celestial conjunction</span>   where a vain sissy helming UMNO, sleepy mullahs running PAS, and a   crooked imposter leading PKR,  collectively cast a long slow eclipse  that effectively weakened Malay  political clout in this country.
2159. <br />
2160. <br />Hence the intense heat on Perkasa. Like it or not, Perkasa has emerged as the last bastion for the Malay masses as their <span style="font-style: italic;">Tanah Air </span>gets trampled and hollowed out by  others right from under the noses of a fang-less UMNO.
2161. <br />
2162. <br />Perkasa  also became the symbolic target, a new pseudonym for the hated  Orang  Melayu, as non-Malay parties fell over each other to prove the   radicalness of their anti-Malay stance to appeal to the prevailing   sentiment of their new generation of aggressive vernacular school   educated constituents.
2163. <br />
2164. <br />Take the MCA as an  example. This  irrelevant race-based party is reinventing itself into  some kind of  poor man's DAP, complete with anti-NEP, pro-Cina rhetoric  lifted right   out of Kit Siang's old playbook. Its desperation to remain relevant and   rid itself of the <span style="font-style: italic;">UMNO running dog </span>tag is readily manifested in the public rhetoric of the current ringleaders. </span>
2165. <br />
2166. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >When    party president Chua Soi Lek was called up by police to give his   statement on   his seditious attacks on the 30% Bumi equity target  during MCA's inherently racist  (after 53 years of Merdeka!) <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chinese</span> Economic Congress,  vice-president Chor Chee Heung <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/9/10/nation/20100910193906&sec=nation">defended Chua</a> by stating that ”… as <span style="font-weight: bold;">the leader of the Chinese community</span>    (see people, isn't this opener so blatantly ethnocentric and racist?   Oh  I forgot; only Malays can be racists ...), Dr Chua was simply  making  a  constructive suggestion to the Government to ensure that   non-Bumiputra  could <span style="font-weight: bold;">also be given the opportunities to participate in the country’s economic activities</span>.” </span>

Perhaps, <span style="font-weight: bold;">udah jel</span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >é</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">k goblok lagi</span> would be an apt observation. Of course, <span style="font-weight: bold;">padan muka</span> might be appropriate after PRU13.
2197. <br />
2198. <br />Many  of these UMNO warlords are woefully out of touch with their own  Malay  constituents. They still think they have a monopoly on Malay  issues,  even when their main leader has morphed into a neo-liberal Malay   Apologist right before our very eyes.  Apart from appeasing their   useless non-Malay coalition allies, some elements  within UMNO, yup the  selfish, sullen face egocentric types, saw Perkasa  as a <span style="font-style: italic;">competitor</span>  for  Malay attention and support, instead of appreciating the NGO's   complementary role in rallying support in the Malay heartland, and not   to mention the fact that tens of thousands of Perkasa members are also   UMNO members.
2199. <br />
2200. <br />Why?
2201. <br />
2202. <br />We can trace this political<span style="font-style: italic;"> hara kiri</span> to the peculiar malady of the Nusantara pribumis known as <span style="font-style: italic;">hasad dengki</span>.   Yes, envy and jealousy. And this is usually followed by sabotage and   reprisals and chaos which ultimately produce the village amok, and in   the aftermath of the mayhem, in the ashes of their devastated kampung,   everyone  looses everything and revert to their state of blissful   ignorance as the <span style="font-style: italic;">lain-lains</span> expropriate their land and resources almost by default. Oh yes, and then the very same Teuku Adnan  and Khairy Pad</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >é</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >  Doh and Nazri Aziz and their coterie of fat asses  rolling in luxury  SUVs would go to the kampungs to lecture the Melayus they had betrayed  and abandoned to change their<span style="font-style: italic;"> minda</span> and<span style="font-style: italic;"> sikap</span> and whatnot  ...
2203. <br />
2204. <br />So you see, the few fat slobs in the UMNO leadership, not the grassroot members, have allowed their <span style="font-style: italic;">hasad dengki</span>,   their chronic jealousy of Perkasa and wariness of Brahim Ali, get the  better of them, as they  attack Perkasa while half-aware that this will  be to the detriment of  their party and the Malays who they have now  succeeded in dividing FOUR  ways. At this rate, only the four old  Unfederated Malay States may see  strong Malay leaderships come PRU13,  and we can thank the likes of Teuku  Adnan and Khairy Padé  Doh and  Nazri Aziz and Khaled Nordin and others afflicted by  Perkasa-envy for  this state of affairs.
2205. <br />
2206. <br />The Malays are truly at the crossroads  today. UMNO has long overshot its own  crossroad and is hurtling down a  winding road to oblivion. Unless, of  course, someone swiftly takes over  the steering, retrace its  socio-political route and steer the UMNO  ship back on its original  trajectory of leading the charge to firmly  forge a strong, cohesive Malaysian nation amidst  the challenges borne  out of our nation's founding legacy.</span>

We are somehow told to “take pride” of our “multi-racial, multi-cultural” country, as if this is a preferred trait in achieving cohesive statehood. Of course it is not the case. The constant reminding of our “multi-racial, multi-cultural” essence breeds further explicit consciousness of our “race,” and this has now permeated every facet of our lives 24/7. Should we then wonder why we have all become so utterly Racists? This hyper-ethnocentrism inevitably propagates further ethno-chauvinist tendencies, as each “race” outdo one another to stamp their racial identity in a grotesque manifestation of tribalism gone mad … Is our fragmented social existence a tenable long-term proposition ... in our daily affairs as a sovereign nation under one flag? No. … Every nation encapsulate a dominant, pervasive socio-cultural essence, a singular identity that defines their populace. A collage of distinct ethno-cultural groups co-existing precariously on a brittle platform of Muhibbah-by-convenience  do not make a nation. We must, therefore, go back to the basics of nationhood. We must have a national identity, driven by a common national language and a set of common values etched in stone. We must extinguish the differentiations that alienated ourselves and that gave rise to the primal instinct to survive amidst competing tribes.

Like any other    Malay, my  ex-boyfriend had the word ‘Islam’  on his MyKad, an automatic    procedure.  So we couldn’t have walked into  a civil registry and   gotten  married.  As conversion was never on the  cards for me, a ‘You   to  yours, me to  mine’ accommodation or  non-interference by the nanny   state  would have  suited fine.</span>

After this other Nazir had made it  through the interview process and given a desk job, what do you think  he'll be today after over a decade of service?  As the Group CEO with an  8-digit paycheck and feted at Malay-bashing circuses around town? Most  probably not.  He'll likely be just an inconsequential pencil pushing  dead-end <span style="font-style: italic;">Penolong Pengurus</span>  embedded in a Dilbert cubicle somewhere, lethargic and demoralised from  petty company politics that has eroded his dignity over the years.  Indeed, many brilliant Malays, including  technical doctorates and MBAs  from top biz schools, many of them kampung boys made good, today  prematurely while their days away in <span style="font-style: italic;">dusuns</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">kolam pancings</span> while the  real meat of the NEP windfall are harvested and squandered by mediocre  offsprings of the socio-political elites within Nazir Razak's social  circle.

2366. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >I hope Nazir would  realise that his prodigious corporate ascendancy may not be fully  attributable to his sheer brilliance. The intangibles, the very elements  that created his bastardised NEP, of well-heeled Melayus capitalising  on privileged access to the lubangs  and jalans and jalan pintas' forged in the name of  the NEP, were the decisive factors that placed him where he is today.  Indeed, as  an NEP beneficiary on the wrong end of the economic need spectrum,  shouldn't he    himself be the poster child of this bastardised NEP?</span>

It is  morally wrong to  further enrich already wealthy  Bumiputras at the expense of   their brethrens  truly in need  -- the   Klang Valley urban poor, the  Penang roadside  hawker, the  Kelantanese subsistence farmer, the  natives of interior  Borneo --  who languished in crippling poverty and  deprivation. However, the  NEP and  its successor programmes have become  a rallying point, a symbolic trophy, for  competing  forces of  Malaysian politics, carving a deep wound between  Malays and  non-Malays  that dissect party coalition lines. The non-Malays now use the NEP as  the catch-all codeword to challenge Article 153, which is wrong. The  Malays in turn use the NEP as some kind of sacrosanct crown jewel that  must be defended at all costs, although the typical poor <span style="font-style: italic;">perwira </span>shouting on the streets  actually received next-to-nothing from the NEP pot compared to Nazir  Razak's Malay buddies.

Yeah, I know, this hard core segregationist's logic is fatally flawed as manifested by the malignant racial tension permeating our confused polygot society caused in large part by the inability of the alienised SJKC and SJKT products to fit-in with the  rest of us, with the other 70% of the population.

Humans migrate from one end of the earth to another BUT a feature inherent in the act of migrating and resettlement in another land is the immersion of the newcomers into the lingua-cultural essence of the host land. Malaysia should be no different. Unless of course these re-alienised descendants of migrants intend to preempt and usurp the status quo and plant their own linguistic-cultural markers on this land.</span></span>

Then he bitched about the Perak political imbroglio, including the state assembly mayhem, blaming everything under the sun on UMNO/BN while oblivious to the root cause and sequence of events that led to the comical scenes, topped by the unforgettable spectacle of A. Sivakumar being dragged kicking and screaming from the Speaker’s chair. He next turned into a pseudo-CSI expert by blaming MACC officers for Teoh Beng Hock’s death, seemingly in denial of the slimy web of deceit and treachery permeating the incestuous relationship between elements of the Selangor Pakatan government and their organized crime siblings. The series of by-election victories for Pakatan didn’t seem to uplift Robin’s spirit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;In fact, they just whet Robin’s appetite for more of everything. More power, more rights, more privileges, more concessions, more of everything.

one-year anniversary of the “Anwar 916 Scam” -- the stillborn political revolution that was supposed to sweep the self-proclaimed non-Bahasa Malaysia literate Anak Bangsa Malaysia crowd to the corridors of power in Putrajaya. Then he bitched about the Perak political imbroglio, including the state assembly mayhem, blaming everything under the sun on UMNO/BN while oblivious to the root cause and sequence of events that led to the comical scenes, topped by the unforgettable spectacle of A. Sivakumar being dragged kicking and screaming from the Speaker’s chair. He next turned into a pseudo-CSI expert by blaming MACC officers for Teoh Beng Hock’s death, seemingly in denial of the slimy web of deceit and treachery permeating the incestuous relationship between elements of the Selangor Pakatan government and their organized crime siblings. The series of by-election victories for Pakatan didn’t seem to uplift Robin’s spirit. </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">In fact, they just whet Robin’s appetite for more of everything.

He protested, “You think it’s easy to speak Malay as a non-native speaker?” I took Robin’s outburst almost as a reprieve, an excuse to at least delay the partaking of the Nasi Lemak. Half distracted and switching focus from food to friend, I asked, “What do you mean?” Robin clarified, “You see, the Chinese here spent their childhoods immersed in their ancestral dialects and, in many families, English as well. Then they go into the Mandarin-centric world of the vernacular schools.” He added, “The rich kids proceed to private schools and an overseas education, bypassing the Malaysian educational system altogether. As for the rest of us …” I interrupted, “Yeah my friend, what happened to these people?” Robin incredulously said, “Haiya, they all must go to government schools lah. They must cakap, tulis, kira and baca in Melayu maah!” I said, “Yeah, so? What seem to be the problem for these fellow Rakyat and Warganegara Malaysia?” A flustered Robin interjected, “You think these poor kids can easily adjust their mind to think and learn and converse in Malay after a Mandarin and English-centric existence all their young lives?”</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Before I could reply, Robin unleashed another burst, “What kind of country is this? You repress us from all angles; even our kids’ education you purposely impose learning impairments via language to ensure they are only as smart as the dumb kampung …...” I assertively stopped him in mid-tirade and said, “Robin, why don’t we both shut-up and eat first. Then we’ll talk. I’m hungry, this Nasi Lemak is a disaster and I better order something else before my hunger-induced urge to hunt for edible wildlife gets the better of me right here in PJ.” Robin ignored my pleadings and repeated his point. My primal instinct was to grab his scrawny neck and let go an uppercut to solve his problem, and then hunt for edible wildlife while I’m at it. But he’s a dear friend, albeit woefully damaged by four decades of societal conditioning. Hence, I will bear with him and collectively unravel the issues contributing to his inner grief.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">I pushed his hand aside, quickly grabbed and made short work of the last piece of his roti bakar, gulped down a glassful of air suam and looked at him straight in the eye. I said, “Robin, why are you crying to me and blaming the government about the fallout of your own community’s stupidity?” His attempt to rebut was met with an even more forceful brush-off from a jet-lagged, hungry KijangMas and he wisely stuffed it and quiveringly slurped his kopi-o while half-staring at the inquisitive gaze of some noisy Hokkien cussword-obsessed dyed-haired Leng Chais at the adjacent table. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">I asked Robin wasn’t it the decision of the ethnic-Chinese in Malaysia to insist on a separate education stream based on Mandarin, <span style="font-style: italic;">the national language of the People’s Republic of China</span>? Why complain when many of these shortchanged Chinese kids later couldn’t adapt to the mainstream Sekolah Kebangsaan? Didn’t the government since the era of TDM attempted to gradually integrate these <a href="http://www.sjkc.com.my/school/index.asp">SJKC</a> and SJKT kids with their Sekolah Kebangsaan counterparts, with the first step being the <span style="font-style: italic;">Sekolah Wawasan</span> concept of shared canteen and recreational facilities? I said, “So Robin, who resisted this measure and rendered it an utter failure?” See, you people not only demand a separate educational silo, you also fight to maintain c<span style="font-style: italic;">omplete social segregation</span> from the rest of Malaysian society at the crucial formative years of your young people. Of course, by the time these kids become adolescent First Formers at the integrated Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan, its already too late.

With Robin in a state of logical incoherence, I inquired why it is o.k. for his two nephews in Perth to go to the Aussie equivalent of our Sekolah Kebangsaan and his wife’s kid brother likewise in Vancouver? Why no insistence on SJKCs in Western Australia or British Columbia? Forget these faraway places, what about Johor’s old Pulau Singapura? Any more “Chinese School” in Kiasu Country? Nope. No "Chinese School" in Singapore. Sure, they have Mandarin "Mother Tongue" classes, but that's it.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >I asked, “Hey, I heard some bloggers initiated a campaign for unified schools …” Robin interjected, “Haiya Bosz, this was started by that baby rusa with RPG maah, rusa mas or Bambi Rambo or something.” I said, “You mean Bambo?” Robin said, “Yeah. He should show his face lah.” I added, “Well, maybe that’s how he <span style="font-style: italic;">actually</span> looked like?” Robin replied, “Could be la Bosz, and we won’t laugh if he’s ugly maah. Bloggers are all fat or ugly one what, true or not ah Bosz?” I said, “Ya kah? And some are probably maladjusted psychos too.” Robin nodded and made a quite convincing impression of a “cyber-psycho” while loudly slurping his soft-boiled eggs. He mumbled, “I heard this rusa mas used to serve with Baby Doc Duvalier’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Tonton Macoutes</span> in old Haiti.” I said, “No lah, where got? I read in a subversive blog that he was<span style="font-style: italic;"> sifu</span> for the 12-year old twins that led the whacky, now disbanded <a href="http://www.asianpacificpost.com/portal2/ff8080810cb1719a010cb6a480d600a6_god_s_army.do.html">“God’s Army”</a> in eastern Myanmar? And then his ragtag guerillas launched an insurrection somewhere in Thailand.” Robin queried, “Waulau Bosz, you know a lot about this baby rusa; you know him ahh?”   I ignored Robin’s inquiry and continued to probe his mindset, asking why he seemed to resist Satu Sekolah. Robin then went on and on about cultural preservation, ancestral relics and heritage pride and the importance of maintaining the roots and origins and vestiges of some glorious past.
2579. <br />
2580. <br />I asked Robin, “Waah, if your peoples’ past in your medieval ancestral domain was so great and worthy of worshipping and emulation to the traumatic extreme by fifth generation Malaysians, why did your ancestors jettisoned themselves from this glorious land of culture and heritage and underwent unimaginable risks and hardships to start a new life with nothing more than a cangkul in a hot tropical neverland claimed as their own by "racist Malays”?  Robin protested, “Haiyah,  I don't  know what happened in the past, but now that we are here, we must defend our language and culture and identity maah!” I asked how come only descendants of immigrants in Malaysia worry soooo very much about “Cultural Preservation”?  In California,  the first thing foreign students and economic migrants from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Indian subcontinent would do is to throw away their <span style="font-style: italic;">Cultural Baggage</span> (clothing, mannerism and language) and metamorphose into a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJRnPn41jqM&feature=related"><span style="font-style: italic;">California Beach Bum celup</span></a> faster than I can say Gong Xi Fa Cai! And these  people crave acceptance even as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFKFDvmndvM">they are ridiculed</a> on American national television.
2581. <br />
2582. <br />Yeah, just last week I met and barely recognized  “Bruce Liow,” a 20-something Perakian who is making a small Ringgit fortune as an illegal kitchen hand at Benihana in nearby Torrance using his cousin’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Green Card</span> and Social Security number.  Well, the old kuaci-junkie Liow Siew Meng is gone just six weeks after he absconded from his Tour Group at Disneyland. I’m sure even old madam Liow in Bidor wouldn’t recognize her son, with his dark glasses, baggy bermudas, oversized sweatshirt, hush puppies, chewing gum and all. I don’t see a dire need to maintain any Chinese cultural roots and ethnic identity and linguistic heritage in this Bruce Liow @ Liow Siew Meng.   Why only in Malaysia? Why is this “need” to uphold some obscure Kwangtung heritage and Fukien pride, this pathological need for ancestral language and identity prevalent only in Malaysia, but not in America, Britain, Europe, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia and elsewhere?  I don’t see cries for cultural preservation and vernacular schools in these places? Why?
2583. <br />
2584. <br />I told Robin, “Come on buddy, just look at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHJ-9NTiXJs">Kylie Kwong</a>. She talks and acts more Australian than the typical Aussie from the outback!” I added, “And you yourself adapted well to your old Australian college and job and lifestyle, with no demands for Chinese anything? Then how come you morphed into a grotesque ethnocentric monster when you returned to Malaysia, demanding Chinese rights over everything? Is it because the Malaysian government is a pushover, soft and clueless and blinded by a misguided adherence to some twisted  socio-diversity fairytale parroted by anti-unity racists  out there, exacerbated by abject ignorance of the history of nationbuilding in the world through the ages?"  Robin kept quiet as he digested my inquisition.  Really, out of the 200</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> plus nations on the face of this Bumi, how come this “must have Chinese school or else” compulsive obsessive disorder afflicts only Persekutuan Malaysia? Yeah, nowhere else on earth.  So Malaysia proudly joins China and Taiwan to form an exclusive Mandarin-centric <span style="font-style: italic;">SinoSuperSpecial</span> Educational League. Now <span style="font-style: italic;">you </span>tell me how can this make sense?

Now you add another item in your ever growing bucket of Malaysian symbolisms and instruments of nationhood that you took it upon yourselves to become allergic to? I told Robin half-jokingly, “I have a cure for your <span style="font-style: italic;">PatrioPhobia</span> affliction; I’m gonna make you put on a <span style="font-style: italic;">Songkok</span> and hold a <span style="font-style: italic;">Keris</span> up in the air and shout ‘Malaysia Boleh!’ on the chair of this kopitiam. Then you sing Negaraku out loud with tears of patriotic joy streaming down your cheeks.” Robin smirked and let out a pained laugh and said, “Haiya, Negara <span style="font-style: italic;">Lu</span> lah Bosz, not Negara <span style="font-style: italic;">Ku</span>. <span style="font-style: italic;">Bukan aku punya</span>.” Before I could digest this profound statement, Robin sprang to life and blurted, “You know what, even our 31st August Merdeka Day is not for all, non inclusive, and meaningless to the Sabah and Sarawak people.” I’ve heard this subversive spin before but feign ignorance to further harvest the contorted nuggets from the dark recesses of this Alienised Malaysian’s psyche. I asked: “Huh, <span style="font-style: italic;">where</span> did you get this anomalous logic, the Pakatan gang?” Robin affirmed it energetically, and with new found vigour and conviction said that his DAP and PKR friends are now unraveling the many fallacies created by UMNO over the past half-century. With pride and fervour, Robin proclaimed: “I will never accept 31st August 1957 as Malaysia’s National Day” and gurgled and gulped down the last of his kopi-o with gusto. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">My amazement at Robin’s near malignant political impairment was smothered by hunger pangs exacerbated by my refusal to consume the Nasi Lemak.

Visibly irritated by this distraction, Robin said at least the Iced Coffee came with a straw and he didn’t see any thumb sticking into the soft-boiled eggs when it was dumped on our table. I agreed. So its soft-boiled eggs as the main course for me then, washed down by the Iced Coffee.</span></span> <o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Energised by the dose of protein (… and cholesterol), I asked Robin if he’s a regular at this joint? He said, “Of course; good food maa. Cheap somemore.

All I saw that evening were pathetic, lonely Ah Sohs lamenting the <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/3/14/nation/20090314075613&sec=nation">loss</a> of their Ah Peks to the leggy <span style="font-style: italic;">China Mali</span> wallet busting "tourists." And I began to sense a correlation between Robin’s degenerative political logic with the frequency of his consumption of detergent-, dirt- and bleach-laced food and drinks at that busy kopitiam. So I told a bemused Robin, “Hey you can be a good subject for a simple <span style="font-style: italic;">linear regression model </span>here, where I can <span style="font-style: italic;">correlate</span> the frequency of your visit to this kopitiam to the deterioration of your political mindset.” My attempt to inscribe the elegant equation of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Robin-Kopitiam PoliRetard Coefficient</span> on the serviette was interrupted by our Rohingya floor cleaner cum dirty-hands food preparer who dumped another two plates of the infamous Nasi Lemak on our messy table. I asked this shifty-eyed PATI, which I Christened “Tyrone,” who the heck ordered two more plates of this insult to my culinary senses? Tyrone’s hand gestures and garbled talk implicated a surprised Robin. I asked Robin to start gesticulating wildly that he did not order the food, and sniggered in <span style="font-style: italic;">schadenfreude</span> anticipation of Robin’s impending communication calamity in sorting out this mess. Well, Robin nonchalantly uttered to Tyrone in Hokkien – you know the <span style="font-style: italic;">Boh Liao</span> stuff – and this filthy-pawed brute kinda curtseyed and merrily hop scotched and skipped away to deliver the two plates to a couple of busily gossiping Ah Sohs! Well, I’ll be darned. I asked: “Hoi Robin, these new <span style="font-style: italic;">pendatangs</span> also go to the SJKC kah?” Robin replied, “No lah Bosz, it's straight from rickety tongkang to kopitiam two months ago for this guy” in a rare show of wit and humour that got me laughing.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">The sideshow now behind us, Robin spiritedly repeated the glorious platinum-class DAP-concocted rallying point that 31st August is not the National Day for all Malaysians, this time convinced that I would not be able to rebut him. While gazing at the sight of his lips touching Tyrone’s sticky pawprint on the slimy <span style="font-style: italic;">Teh Tarik</span> glass (further reaffirming the empirical evidence of the stillborn <span style="font-style: italic;">Robin-Kopitiam PoliRetard Coefficient</span>), I asked: “O.k., based on your logic, 37 American states should <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> accept July 4, 1776 as their independence day then.” As Robin continued slurping the bleached-enhanced Teh Tarik, I told him that since <span style="font-style: italic;">only</span> Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia signed the declaration of independence, the Americans would need to celebrate<span style="font-style: italic;"> the 4th of July </span>PLUS 37 other dates for the other states of the union. Does this make sense? The 49th state Alaska joined the American union only on January 3, 1959 and 50th state Hawaii joined as recently as August 21, 1959, almost two centuries after American independence. I asked Robin whether Alaskans and Hawaiians celebrate these dates? Before Robin could muster a spin to his answer, I told him, “Heck, they don't even <span style="font-style: italic;">know</span> about these dates.” So I asked whether these late entries make them less American than a jock from Connecticut? Obviously not. Then why the opportunists of the Pakatan gang want to poison the minds of our Borneo brothers by creating an issue out of nothing, by isolating 31st August as if it symbolised some Tuhan-forsaken UMNO-designed non-event, and <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> a symbolic <span style="font-style: italic;">beginning date</span> for the emancipation of the various Kesultanan Melayus and Negeri-Negeri Selat and later the Wilayah-Wilayah Borneo that coalesce to ultimately form the Federation of Malaysia? My point suddenly snapped Robin from his mental block induced by the political subversives infesting his ethno-cultural community. I cynically asked Robin perhaps the American’s singular Fourth of July date was the work of the UMNO people as well? I said: “Hey buddy, you better open DAP cawangans in the 37 other states and instigate their populace against this “unfair” date. Who knows, maybe UMNO had a hand in the selection of the Fourth of July date over 230 years ago?”</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Our animated exchange was suddenly interrupted by the deafening sound of broken pottery, overturned chairs and tables, and a dull thud akin to a fallen sack of potatoes.

The Leng Chais on the next table burst out laughing as a dazed, blushing Tyrone rearranged his splayed butt and picked up pieces of crockery amidst the splattered noodles, kerang, tauhu goreng, fishballs and taugeh oozing in the pool of curried slime. I couldn’t help sniggering myself at the ridiculousness of the scene, and commented to Robin on the subpar quality of recent pendatangs. Robin surprisingly roared back amidst the din, “Come on lah Bosz, you Melayus are also pendatangs what?” He added, “I read somewhere that you come from Sumatra and Java and all those little pulaus and curi this land from the Orang Aslis.” </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Apa? </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">This guy has some kind of a deathwish or what?

You see, the minds of pendatangs anywhere on earth are calibrated differently, guided by strong survivalist imperatives spawned by the ancestral displacement that permeates their soul for many generations. Pendatangs grab and hoard and grab and hoard whatever opportunities they could find. Their lives revolve around the search for <span style="font-style: italic;">jalans</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">lubangs </span>and short-cuts that they can <span style="font-style: italic;">kao tim</span> their way into to get at the largesse at the other end of the “transaction.” They don’t share with other pendatangs, even with members of the same tribe. And this trait is readily demonstrated time and again by our fellow countrymen still trapped in this <span style="font-style: italic;">pendatang mindset</span>. Often, the only thing they’ll share with their neighbours is the unsolicited 3am loud barkings of dogs guarding their hoard or the spillover chaos and mayhem caused by their quest to grab and hoard more than their fair share of the economic and now political pie.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;

Bukit Antarabangsa landslide tragedy of December 2008. I was there on many occasions to assist loved ones. And you know what? Practically all of the hundreds of volunteers were Malay Muslims – with heroic efforts by groups such as <a href="http://www.jim.org.my/v1/index.php">Jamaah Islah Malaysia</a>.<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  Yes, this is the same JIM vilified by the debilitatingly ignorant Ooi Chuan Aun @ “Jeff Ooi.” You see, the bigotry of this fledgling politician blinded his <span style="font-style: italic;">ability to differentiate</span> between Jamaah Islah Malaysia (JIM) and Jemaah Islamiah (JI), the purported regional militant group. This is the problem with chauvinists like Jeff Ooi. While spewing empty rhetoric on cultural diversity in a multi-religious, multi-linguistic and multi-everything neverland in their sporadic delusions of self-grandiosity, they themselves show <span style="font-style: italic;">little tolerance</span> for anything different from their pathetic China-centric little beings.

Indeed, the pendatang mentality precludes such acts of altruism, of giving and not expecting something back. Anyway, I had the opportunity to observe the serving of free meals near the disaster zone by local hotels. An Ah Pek and his family there shoved their way to the front of the queue and to everyone’s amazement, the father reprimanded the tudung clad volunteer worker that the hotel food was “too pedas” for his 10 year old son.

But no. After sniggering at KijangMas with a “<span style="font-style: italic;">solli ahh, gua tadak paham apa lu cakap</span>” look, he turned around and threw choice Cantonese expletives into the air and proceeded to tapau <span style="font-style: italic;">eight </span>bungkus of the hotel <span style="font-style: italic;">Nasi Goreng Ayam</span> and as much mineral water bottles as his small troupe could angkot in their garbage bags! Remember the pendatang mindset I mentioned earlier? Yup, this is a full-fledged demonstration of that affliction. You know why the Melayus took the trouble to beri pertolongan to mangsas like you? Beyond their inherent cultural rasa belas kasihan and the kerja amal stressed by their Islamic faith? Yeah, because they are the Tuan Tanahs, the pribumis, the hospitable hosts bestowing kindness to the guests, the pendatangs.

We are even now.” Robin interjected, “So it’s a Win-Win lah friend?” to which I clarified, “Yes, I win and I win …” Not quite of supple mind to catch the oxymoronic teaser, Robin politely asked, “But Bosz, what about these <span style="font-style: italic;">Orang Asal</span>?

The <span style="font-style: italic;">Malay Stock</span>, in their various ethnic-groups and suku kaums, have been traversing all points of the Malay Archipelago since the beginning of recorded history and are a fungible populace seamlessly linked by shared histories, cultural essence and a common, pervasive lingua franca, Bahasa Melayu. A Patani Malay and a Bugis from Makassar and an Acehnese as well as a Sulu native would have little trouble conversing and sharing complex ideas in their common Malay lingua franca. I told Robin that in the holistic context, the natives of the Nusantara nations are <span style="font-style: italic;">pribumis throughout the archipelago</span>, in their own nation as well as in the adjacent polities, where present-day political boundaries are nothing more than the <span style="font-style: italic;">invention of European colonisers</span>. Hence, to dismiss a son of Javanese settlers such as Khir Toyo as just another pendatang is to show an abject ignorance of Nusantaran socio-cultural history, where the pribumis of these lands have moved back and forth in this vast seamless common domain in concert with the rise and ebb of dynamic political and economic tides since time immemorial. Indeed, a</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> variant of this phenomenon can be seen in contemporary Germany. Under the German Right of Return law as codified in Article 116 of German Basic Law, ethnic-Germans living in Eastern Europe (the so-called <span style="font-style: italic;">Aussiedler</span>) can move to Germany and acquire German citizenship even if their families have not been in any German historical territory for generations. They are perceived as rightfully belonging to the German nation even as third-generation German born and bred “pendatang” Turks and transient gypsies and other non-Germanic peoples struggle for acceptance by the German populace. Same with the Jews and their Western-concocted "homeland." Under Article 1 of the Israeli Law of Return, every Jew on earth has the right to go to that country as an “<span style="font-style: italic;">oleh</span>” or Jewish Immigrant and automatically be given Israeli citizenship. Of course, I'm not proposing automatic citizenship to every <span style="font-style: italic;">Buluh Runcing</span>-carrying Indonesian pribumi who set foot on this land but the Malay-hating politicians in our midst must appreciate the region's socio-cultural history before making fools of themselves on the pulpit.

To anti-Malay opportunists out there, want to spin some more? </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Robin asked, “O.k., how then do you define a <span style="font-style: italic;">pribumi</span>, a native, if you’re neither an “Orang Asal” nor a pendatang just off the tongkang?”</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">I told Robin that my definition of a Bumiputra is the group that first set up a recognisable polity on the land and historically ruled other peoples of that land, including the aboriginals, the Orang Asli. Since the dawn of Malay history, the Aslian groups are an integral subset, the ruled, under the Malay ruling class. Hence, the KEY determinant of ownership is not so much who arrived first, but who did what first, i.e., who formed the embryonic entities that were recognised by regional historiographies of that era. Same logic applies between the Japanese "Bumiputras" and their <span style="font-style: italic;">Ainu</span> Orang Aslis. In their universe, ethnic-Korean immigrants are the pendatangs, and aren't fully embraced by the mainstream even after many generations of assimilation.

To steadfastly cling to and perpetuate their mimicry of the lingua-cultural essence of a distant, faraway ancestral land OR to play their role in the forging of a true, sustainable <span style="font-style: italic;">Anak Bangsa Malaysia</span> as exhaustively expounded in my post <a href="http://deminegara.blogspot.com/2008/11/racial-polarisation-and-forging-of.html">here</a>? </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Don’t blame the Malays, the majority, the founder of the original polities dotting this land -- just as migrants to Japan, Germany, Britain or France do not blame the respective “Bumiputras” there -- if the Malays do not accept you as a fellow full-fledged citizen of this land called Malaysia UNTIL and UNLESS you assume certain fundamental affinities to the dominant group, namely language competency and awareness and respect of the prevailing Malay-Bumiputra socio-cultural norms beyond your little enclaves. You can be here for ten or more generations, but if you and your descendants insist on exhibiting foreign lingua-cultural traits on this land, you will still be deemed as an “Orang Asing” in perpetuity, and would probably be “overtaken” by Tyrone’s progenies in the Malaysian socio-constitutional pecking order by the next generation. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">    </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  </div><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">After much prompting, Tyrone got us the bill and handed it to ……. yup, Robin.

I told Robin, “See my friend, even Tyrone knows YOU are the <span style="font-style: italic;">bodek-ful seeking-something</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Pendatang</span>, and I’m the <span style="font-style: italic;">can-give-something Tuan Tanah</span>, where YOU must <span style="font-style: italic;">belanja</span> me almost as a matter of social norm.” Robin let out a hearty laugh, agreeing to one of the peculiarities of Malaysian society: that the Ah Pek always gets the bill, be it in slimy kopitiams or the Mandarin Oriental, KLCC. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">  <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">I grabbed the bill from a bemused Tyrone and gave him some crisp red <span style="font-style: italic;">First Agongs</span> and didn’t bother to await the couple of ringgits in change, thinking Tyrone at least deserved a tip for his comedic presence that night.

As I board my late night “shut-eye” flight to KB, I told myself that at least I’m returning to a foretaste of <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span> utopia in Kelantan, my own beloved ancestral domain of linguistic and cultural cohesion, deep-rooted pride of identity, excellent cuisine, rich history and, of course,  the incomparable exquisite damsels.</span></span>

2635. <br />A lot of things happened in our country and beyond during those three-weeks. I will touch on <span style="font-style: italic;">six</span> of those in this extended post. KijangMas will talk about football, a mysterious death, Kelantan politics, Nik Aziz, maid abuse .... and as if those are not enough .... Michael Jackson as well.

2637. <br />Now, reschedule your appointment, go get a good cuppa coffee, open your mind and later share your thoughts with fellow members of the DN Community.

2643. <br />
2644. <br />
2645. <br />The Malaysian selection (Under-23 players plus four overaged guys) put on a decent performance against a slightly ruffled Manchester United squad on Saturday. This team of young, mostly unknowns made the millionaire stars of MU work hard to carve up a 3-2 win in front of a near capacity crowd at the 100,000-seat National Stadium.
2646. <br />
2647. <br />Yeah sure, this is still early preseason for MU; their players were not fully match fit and jet-lagged; the heat and humidity were too much; and most of the stars were on third gear and avoided unnecessary injuries in a meaningless game. But MU is a professional outfit, a veritable sporting institution. Nothing less than superlatives are expected of them and people pay good money to watch the team perform.
2648. <br />
2649. <br />The Malaysian selection could have hung on to the 2-2 scoreline if coach K. Rajagopal had not made wholesale changes to the line-up in the final quarter hour, which effectively unraveled the team's balance and cohesion. Haiya coach, stick to your best eleven lah, with only 2-3 strategic substitutes. You cannot field fringe players (in a squad already of second stringers) against MU and expect to prevail.
2650. <br />
2651. <br />Why Under-23 team for such a glamour tie? Well, the football competition in the upcoming Laos SEA Games has a FIFA-imposed Under-23 age limit, and FAM used this occasion as match practice for the SEA Games squad. But if you ask me, we should have fielded our full international (FIFA Class A) squad against Rooney, Berbatov, Scholes, Giggs, Owen and associates. Give them the best we've got lah.
2652. <br />
2653. <br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Nevertheless, my praises to the Malaysian selection, especially to Amri Yahyah (one of the overaged players) for his two opportunist goals. Not many have scored two against the Red Devils in a single game under <span style="font-style: italic;">any</span> circumstances.
2654. <br />
2655. <br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">The two teams had a hastily arranged (due to MU's bombing-scuttled trip to Jakarta) and tame rematch on Monday evening, where a reserve-laden United prevailed 2-0 thanks to two early goals. But that's academic. </span><span style="font-size:130%;">
2656. <br />
2657. <br />
2658. <br />The future of Malaysian football?
2659. <br />
2660. <br />Sorry folks, still bleak.       <a href="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php" title="Smileys"><img src="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sport025.gif" alt="Smileys" border="0" /></a>
2661. <br />
2662. <br />The reason?
2663. <br />
2664. <br />It's multifaceted. Suffice to say that they are spawned mostly from FAM's administrative incompetence, with league format changes almost an annual affair, and the body's inability to grasp the game's commercial dynamics and external challenges.

2674. <br />Now, please allow the people conducting the inquest and the RCI to do their jobs. My message to the Pakatan politicians, go back to administering the states that was entrusted to you people in PRU12. Enough politicking, curtail your parasitic, opportunist inclinations. Manage the crumbling economic and social affairs of the five states under your care.

Selangor police chief, Deputy Comm.

The <a href="http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/20090720172510/Article/index_html"><span style="font-style: italic;">NST</span> said</a> these include 25 MACC officers. <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/7/21/nation/4360600&sec=nation"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Star</span> said</a> eight of the 33 are MACC officers.

2709. <br />
2710. <br />- He said Ean Yong and lawyer M.Manoharan had been summoned to give their statements. Apparently, Teoh had contacted Ean Yong and Manoharan prior to his questioning.</span><span style="font-size:130%;">
2711. <br />
2712. <br />- Tan Boon Wah, the interrogatee who saw Teoh alive at 6am, lodged a police report against MACC on Saturday (18/7).</span><span style="font-size:130%;">
2713. <br />
2714. <br />- According to Khalid, police acted on Tan’s report but astonishingly Tan refused to give his statement pertaining to his report.</span><span style="font-size:130%;">
2715. <br />
2716. <br />- Khalid said Tan would be compelled to give his statement to the police. According to <span style="font-style: italic;">The Star</span>, he would be summoned under <span style="font-style: italic;">Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code</span>. <span style="font-style: italic;">The NST</span> reported that he would be served a notice under <span style="font-style: italic;">Section 11 of the Penal Code</span>. (Again, <span style="font-style: italic;">mana satu?</span>).</span><span style="font-size:130%;">
2717. <br />
2718. <br />- Tan would be charged for making a false report if he further refuses to cooperate.</span><span style="font-size:130%;">
2719. <br />
2720. <br />- Tan <a href="http://themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/32873-police-record-statement-from-tan-boon-wah-">finally gave his statement</a> at the Selangor police headquarters at 9pm Monday (20/7). Tan now denies he was uncooperative, claiming he was in Johor during the weekend, attended Teoh's funeral in Malacca, and then went to the Shah Alam police headquarters at 9pm where he remained until 12.30am. </span> <span style="font-size:130%;">
2721. <br />
2722. <br />- Police would also question two other MACC interrogatees who were with Teoh and Tan.</span>
2723. <br />
2724. <br /><span style="font-size:130%;">- As for the time of Teoh's death, Khalid was quoted as saying: “If we follow the initial report of the doctor about four to five hours before the body was found.”</span><span style="font-size:130%;">
2725. <br />
2726. <br />- CCTV footage showed Teoh entering the building on Wednesday (15/7). No recording of him leaving.

2741. <br />Anything else?
2742. <br />
2743. <br />What can we imply and hypothesise from these raw facts and recollections?
2744. <br />
2745. <br />Not much and too much. The conspiracy theorists would be going berzerk with their giddy speculative conjectures based on different permutations of these raw info, and of course further skewed by their political inclinations.
2746. <br />
2747. <br />
2748. <br />What we all want to know:-
2749. <br />
2750. <br />From what angle was Teoh a MACC "witness"?
2751. <br />
2752. <br />- Idealist turned whistleblower?
2753. <br />
2754. <br />- Perpetrator being "strong-armed" to become prosecution witness?
2755. <br />
2756. <br />- Reluctant know-all political secretary with "keys" to the </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;">state assemblymen</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>'s cans of worms?
2757. <br />
2758. <br />- Unfortunate inconsequential pawn in a battle involving the underworld?
2759. <br />
2760. <br />
2761. <br />How did Teoh die?
2762. <br />
2763. <br />- Yeah, the fall-induced trauma would be obvious, but what about the "means": suicide or homicide?
2764. <br />
2765. <br />
2766. <br />When?
2767. <br />
2768. <br />- What time between the 6.00am sighting and 1.30pm discovery? Based on the preliminary pathologist report of Teoh being dead 4-5 hours prior to the body's discovery, then his death must be around 9am.
2769. <br />
2770. <br />- Did his boss, Ean </span>Yong Hian Wah, and other</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span> DAP politicians actively attempted to locate Teoh from the wee hours of the morning upon his release until the time of his body's discovery?
2771. <br />
2772. <br />- Why was his body "discovered" only at 1.30pm?
2773. <br />
2774. <br />- </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>No one actually peeked out their office window (and saw the body) from morning well into lunchtime?</span></span>
2775. <br />
2776. <br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>  - And once the body was "discovered,"  many clear pics taken from <a href="http://triplecolourlife.blogspot.com/2009/07/setiausaha-politik-exco-selangor-mati.html">their windows above</a> </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>were posted in blogs by office workers. </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span> If it was there earlier (between 6am and 1.30pm), no one saw it from their office windows?
2777. <br />
2778. <br />
2779. <br />Where did he died?
2780. <br />
2781. <br />- We are sure he died at the spot where he was found?
2782. <br />
2783. <br />- Let's not get gory here, but the impact point of a human's nine-storey fall on concrete is a heck of a mess.
2784. <br />
2785. <br />- Even the "thud" could be sickeningly deafening.
2786. <br />
2787. <br />- Nobody heard or noticed anything? Wouldn't that building be teeming with people at the 9am purported time of fall?
2788. <br />
2789. <br />- And as mentioned, no one saw the body from their office window from early morning until the 1.30pm "discovery"?
2790. <br />
2791. <br />
2792. <br />Why? Yes, the motive?
2793. <br />
2794. <br />Now, let's assume it is <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> suicide, <span style="font-style: italic;">who</span> would want to kill Teoh?
2795. <br />
2796. <br />
2797. <br />MACC?
2798. <br />
2799. <br />- So these people killed their potential whistle blower and star witness and then had to diligently rebuild their case again?
2800. <br />
2801. <br />- And assuming they did it, these people were too dumb to concoct a believable story out of their alleged misdeeds, like simulating a proper "suicide" with staged commotion, suicide note and all the trimmings of a <span style="font-style: italic;">terjun bangunan bunuh diri</span> scenario?
2802. <br />
2803. <br />- And why do it <span style="font-style: italic;">there</span>, at their own premises? Objectively, make sense ka?
2804. <br />
2805. <br />- And why left the body there for 4-5 hours?
2806. <br />
2807. <br />- But if <a href="http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/20090720080058/Article/index_html">reports</a> that Teoh jumped/fell/pushed from the window of MACC's <span style="font-style: italic;">interrogation room</span> are true, then this case could be <span style="font-style: italic;">exponentially</span> more complicated.
2808. <br />
2809. <br />- What about Teoh's mobile phone, wallet and backpack? Why were they in the possession of MACC officers? Of course, this just lead to more conjectures: Were these items in MACC's possession all these while (hence, potentially debunking MACC's "released at 3.45am" story) or were picked-up later, either in the pantry, sofa or near a 14th floor window after </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>Teoh </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>jumped/fell/pushed</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span> from the 14th floor</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>?
2810. <br />
2811. <br />- Whatever it is, it is clear that Teoh </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>jumped/fell/pushed</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span> from the 14th floor without his mobile phone and wallet in his pockets. Interesting ...
2812. <br />
2813. <br />
2814. <br />UMNO/BN?
2815. <br />
2816. <br />- <span>Why UMNO? How could these people gain from Teoh's death? How?</span>
2817. <br />
2818. <br />- Look, Teoh is potentially UMNO/BN's trumpcard, another Saiful Bukhari, if the MACC case against the DAP assemblymen goes to trial.
2819. <br />
2820. <br />
2821. <br />Who else?
2822. <br />
2823. <br />Najib? Rosmah?
2824. <br />
2825. <br />- Listen up Brother Anwar, Guan Eng, Unker Kit and gang,  don't blame <span style="font-style: italic;">everything</span> on these lovebirds lah. <span style="font-style: italic;">Mana boleh semua hal buruk  dalam ini negara dia olang yang bikin?
2826. <br />
2827. <br />- TNS,  lu punya </span>erectile dysfunction<span style="font-style: italic;"> pun salah JibRos ka?</span> </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>
2828. <br />
2829. <br />- Yeah, blame global warming and world hunger and MJ's death on them too. Happy now?</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>
2830. <br />
2831. <br />
2832. <br />Let's refine the question: Who would <span style="font-style: italic;">stand to gain</span> if Teoh is dead?
2833. <br />
2834. <br />- What was Teoh's role again? Key "witness," meaning he may testify on the prosecution's behalf?
2835. <br />
2836. <br />- Ok, tell me who would <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> like to hear testimonies from this potential prosecution witness?  MACC? <span style="font-style: italic;">They</span> are the prosecutors lah dey. Teoh will be on <span style="font-style: italic;">their</span> side.
2837. <br />
2838. <br />
2839. <br />Why the silence?
2840. <br />
2841. <br />Let me help. How about those who would be <span style="font-style: italic;">implicated</span> by the testimony? I don't know who, but at least now we have a semblance of something called a <span style="font-style: italic;">motive</span>. Betul ka?
2842. <br />
2843. <br />
2844. <br />Where do we go from here?
2845. <br />
2846. <br />Yeah, any leads?
2847. <br />
2848. <br />Potential leads:-
2849. <br />
2850. <br />- Teoh's mobile phone records.
2851. <br />
2852. <br />- Cross-referencing of MACC officers' and relevant Selangor state assemblymen's phone records with Teoh's.
2853. <br />
2854. <br />- Who else spoke to Teoh on his mobile?
2855. <br />
2856. <br />- CCTV footage, where available.
2857. <br />
2858. <br />- Witnesses accounts, and these include MACC officers, Plaza Masalam security guards, cleaners, adjacent office workers, </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Tan Boon Wah</span><span style="font-size:130%;">, and two other unnamed interrogatees. Home minister Hishammuddin Hussein said 40 more people would be questioned.</span>
2859. <br />
2860. <br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>- Teoh's laptop and office PC.
2861. <br />
2862. <br />- Teoh's family and friends.
2863. <br />
2864. <br />What about Ean Yong Hian Wah? Yeah, any leads behind those <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKNrP24YjhS_xcUg1McIBBqf09ai89AGpUgbtExVlT_2J4bw8Ur6whdqiBH4DpUxsDDhB2WNjIy6YyjimfGntLV4s0MCkR7oMZv75hAAITb9hsrj0xUqHNLjSdpz0dmuyryZ9Tdmq85sc/s320/May+27+-+p4EanYong.jpg">bespectacled beady eyes</a>? He is Selangor exco in charge of what again? </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Ah yes, he oversees new village development and resettlement of <span style="font-style: italic;">illegal factories</span>. How many illegal, unlicensed factories in Selangor? What's at stake here? Any linkages to the ongoing  MACC investigation? </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>
2865. <br />
2866. <br />I also think this <a href="http://media1.malaysiakini.com/72/1d2628b0116e0f909540d94fdd190986.jpg">Tan Boon Wah</a> fellow may be able to shed some light. For starters, why was he loitering around MACC's pantry at 6am where he claimed to have seen Teoh? I thought he just filed a lawsuit for false imprisonment? What kind of "imprisonment" is this, shuffling around the office coffee machine and fridge? Based on his yardstick, every <span style="font-style: italic;">mamat</span> who was subject to police or MACC interrogation can also claim "false imprisonment" lah! And there are no soft sofas and well-stocked pantries and airconditioned, carpeted rooms in the <span style="font-style: italic;">balais </span>and lock-ups. At this rate, we'll have tens of thousands of lawsuits in the High Court from all kinds of petty suspects and witnesses. Or this yardstick is special only to the DAP untouchables? Actually, these <span style="font-style: italic;">anak manjas</span> are getting too pampered lah.  <span style="font-style: italic;">Tak boleh di tegur; tak boleh di jentik.</span> Haiyah Ah Wah, do you know how the LAPD interrogate people? What about the Thai cops? And try imagining the methods used by police in the land you worship, China?
2867. <br />
2868. <br />Yes, Tan Boon Wah can answer many questions as he was there. But he seemed elusive, eager only to politicise his own flag scam scandal with a lawsuit against the investigators.
2869. <br />
2870. <br />What about this guy? </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span>

2875. <br />Can he shed some light as somehow all these scandals and alleged wrongdoings seem to revolve around him? Do you think old comrade Wee Choo Keong's accusations have some truth? Yeah, otherwise Ronnie and Ms. Kok would not have <span style="font-style: italic;">melenting tak tentu arah</span>. Betulkah? I don't know. And PKR's Azmin Ali seemed anxious these days to reshuffle excos and his own political deck of cards. Why? Min, I know you are UMNO through-and-through. Why still want to <span style="font-style: italic;">layan </span>these subversives?
2876. <br />
2877. <br />
2878. <br /></span><span>Ok, what else?
2879. <br />
2880. <br />Oh yeah, why this <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/32621-pakatan-to-ensure-teohs-spectre-haunts-bn">tasteless political leveraging</a> of Teoh's untimely death by the DAP and PKR people? Give this young man the due respect lah people. <span style="font-style: italic;">Mana boleh semua hal lu olang mau jadi modal politik? Betul ka? Tiada adat dan budaya ka? Kalau nak alih pandangan rakyat, guna lah isu-isu lain. Kalau tiada isu, ubahlah sikap. Susah sangat ka mau jadi orang baik?
2881. <br />
2882. <br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span><span>Yes, the action of the DAP and PKR leaders and their racist goons boggles the mind.
2883. <br />
2884. <br />Racist?
2885. <br />
2886. <br />Yes, these subversives are nothing more than racist scums, blatantly playing the racial card (e.g., "... the Chinese and Indians are the only ones persecuted ...") whenever their kind are busted by the law enforcement agencies. See this report by the <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/32762-thousands-petition-for-royal-inquiry-at-rally-for-beng-hock">Pakatan propaganda arm</a>. See how the Pakatan leadership use Teoh's death to the hilt to attack UMNO/BN, Najib, MACC, the police, ... even Malay language newpapers.
2887. <br />
2888. <br />And when certain media and the government <a href="http://bernama.com.my/bernama/v5/newspolitic.php?id=426705">react</a> to the blatant racism, the hardcore racist, yup, the </span></span><em>Homo überbigotedsapien </em>himself, Lim Kit Siang, <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/32914-kit-siang-wants-nazri-to-warn-nst-boss-over-racial-overtones">turned it around</a> and said: "... it was Umno’s publications which have turned the death into a racial issue." Ahh? We are now in the <span style="font-style: italic;">siapa start dulu</span> game kah? Ok, lets play that game. Look at the comments in the Pakatan bankrolled guttermedia and the subversive blogs from the day Teoh's death became news. Read the thick, gooey racist barkings by these self-alienising Malaysians. See the unbridled hatred? Marvel at the irrational logic loop and self-validating conjectures? MCA's Ong Tee Keat aptly called them "self-fulfilling lies."
2889. <br />
2890. <br />But in the twisted minds of these scums, they are angelic, virginal beings, holy cherubs who can do no wrong, never hurt a fly, law abiding, never indulge in the vices, .......... and hence beyond criticism, beyond reproach as they sail through life as certified, p</span><span style="font-size:130%;">re-approved occupants of their various <span style="font-style: italic;">syurgas</span> in the afterlife.
2891. <br />
2892. <br />Podaah! </span>
2893. <br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span><span>
2894. <br />These scums are not only racists to their rotten core; they are pathological law breakers and social misfits, not just in Malaysia, but in every habitable corner of the planet. Go travel the world -- starting inside the plane itself and the passport queue -- and you'll understand. Yup, even the darn penguins would be victimised by these parasites if Antarctica was not so darn cold!
2895. <br />
2896. <br />The unprincipled opportunists who used poor Teoh's death for their unbridled political ambition include the DAP <span style="font-style: italic;">puppet supreme</span>, Tunku Aziz, and the overambitious Anwarista-in-PAS-clothing recently rejected by his own party, Husam Musa. Yup, these <span style="font-style: italic;">pengkhianat bangsas</span> have the audacity to share the stage with the anti-Malay DAP subversives in an orgy of self-glorification and racist incitement (crudely shrouded as "anti-UMNO/BN" of course) at the expense of a young man's tragic death. See how timely and convenient the "Teoh case" has become to these scums as they deflect the rakyat's attention from their governance incompetence, scandals and internal conflicts? These social toxic wastes make me sick!

2904. <br />
2905. <br />And  look at the comments by the Pakatan racist zealots in <a href="http://themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/32490-ean-yongs-political-secretary-dead-at-macc-hq-">this piece</a> by the same guttermedia. See how their little minds work, blaming Teoh's death and every malady in this country on UMNO, Najib, and everyone else <span style="font-style: italic;">except themselves</span> without an iota of logic or evidence. These people <span style="font-style: italic;">convinced themselves without a shadow of a doubt</span> that Teoh was murdered by parties ultimately controlled by or related to UMNO.
2906. <br />
2907. <br />Proof?
2908. <br />
2909. <br />What proof?
2910. <br />
2911. <br />Haiya, these anti-Malays don't need inconveniences such as truth and evidence. That's just too much work lah. The "proof" is in their finger pointing. When enough of these goons repeat the same thing, <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span> will be the "truth." Remember Altantunya? What was the <span style="font-style: italic;">evidence</span> again supporting the Pakatan "truth" in that case? Oh I forgot, the chief "evidence" manufacturer absconded and forfeited his day in court. And of course, these mini-Goebbels tried the same stunt with Manohara, but <a href="http://mmail.com.my/content/8829-daisys-worst-nightmare-comes-true">her momma</a> was so rotten with daily revelations of her evil past that these goons couldn't latch-on to the conniving free-loaders without contaminating themselves. Too bad. Collectively, they would have been the perfect band of bandits. And along came a convenient case to ride on; Teoh's death is now parasitically sucked to the hilt as a rallying point to resurrect the crumbling political edifice of the subversives.
2912. <br />
2913. <br />Yes, the <span style="font-style: italic;">Culture of Blame</span> among these people is astonishing. You think leaders <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> followers like these are fit to govern and lead this country? No way. See how one little Penang Buah Pala is being mishandled? Imagine a few dozen Buah Palas and other Buahs </span></span>at federal level? <span style="font-style: italic;">Habislah Malaysia.  </span></span> <span style="font-size:130%;"><span>
2914. <br />
2915. <br />KijangMas is as curious as anyone else about this unfortunate incident. Right now I obviously don't have the answer. Possibilities lead to more conjectures. A purportedly idealistic young man on the eve of marrying his two-month pregnant fiancee was found dead near the premises of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission nine hours after reportedly released from a marathon interrogation session. Those are the facts. Now, how do we reconcile the various politically-tinged conjectures with the truth?
2916. <br />
2917. <br />Yes, the<span style="font-style: italic;"> truth</span> is what we seek.

2925. <br />UMNO cut PAS' majority from 1,352 in PRU12 to just 65. Now, that's a swing of 1,287 votes in 16 months. PAS squeaked through by less than one percent of votes cast, in fact, <span style="font-style: italic;">less</span> than the 117 <span style="font-style: italic;">undi rosak</span> that could have gone either way. A mere 33 votes out of the 65 would have swung it to UMNO's favour. Of course, PAS and Pakatan leaders put on a brave face to this statistical deadheat, with Brother Anwar proclaiming "a win is a win." But politics is all about trend and momentum and trajectory of political sentiment.
2926. <br />
2927. <br />I spent over two weeks traversing Kelantan, my ancestral domain, and stayed there right until after polling day. I travelled to all corners of this Malay heartland, stopping by at the ubiquitous coffee shops, fruit stands and wakafs, and mingled seamlessly with the common folk in palm fringed beachside kampungs.
2928. <br />
2929. <br />The undercurrents of discontent among the </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Ogh</span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">é</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> Kelat</span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">é</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"> are getting palpable. The zealotrous support for PAS so common these past two decades has died down. Some suggest that we are now in the gap period before the next PRU, a time where partisanship is less profound.
2930. <br />
2931. <br />No.
2932. <br />
2933. <br />Politics is a way of life among the Kelantanese, where a fierce independence streak makes us naturally opinionated. And we are great conversationists as well. The <span style="font-style: italic;">bbua politik</span> in the ubiquitous <span style="font-style: italic;">keda kopi</span>, social functions and family gatherings is a cultural trait, perfected to almost an artform.
2934. <br />
2935. <br />The less than enthusiastic support for PAS is an indication of the shifting sands of public opinion. As for UMNO, I can see a more receptive stance towards the party by the <span style="font-style: italic;">Ogh</span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">é</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> Kelat</span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">é</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;">. But it's long ways yet. Not many have gone around town with UMNO/BN flags and stickers on their cars, trucks and <span style="font-style: italic;">kapchais</span>, unlike the PAS faithfuls. Not yet.
2936. <br />
2937. <br />But the tide is definitely turning.
2938. <br />
2939. <br />Why?
2940. <br />
2941. <br />How far can you go with <span style="font-style: italic;">ceramahs</span> after <span style="font-style: italic;">ceramahs</span> after <span style="font-style: italic;">ceramahs</span> on the same issues day after day after day? Yeah, drive around KB and the major towns after <span style="font-style: italic;">Isyak</span> and you are bound to come across a PAS <span style="font-style: italic;">ceramah</span> circus, ..... yes, a circus, with makeshift food stalls and restless kids scurrying around as the transient audience listen intently to the political rhetoric touching on current issues, many eagerly anticipating the comedic punchlines, the subtle sarcasm delivered in the idiom-rich Kelantanese dialect. You see, Kelantanese is the perfect dialect for <span style="font-style: italic;">penceramahs</span>. </span><span style="font-size:130%;">Its formidable repertoire of tonal-based expressions tinged with subtleties of sounds, nasal nuances and wickedly delicious </span><span style="font-size:130%;">double-entendres -- perfected over centuries of dramatic story-telling via the <span style="font-style: italic;">wayang kulit</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">makyong </span>and folk theatres -- would mesmerise the audience. Hey, a good <span style="font-style: italic;">ceramah</span> is the ultimate Reality TV, with real life public figures shouting themselves hoarse amidst a boisterous, interactive audience with their spontaneous roar spiced with the occasional good-natured heckling.
2942. <br />
2943. <br />I attended my fair share, often for the sheer entertainment.  In PAS <span style="font-style: italic;">ceramahs</span>, I would also notice a core, familiar group of loyal followers. Yup, these <span style="font-style: italic;">ceramah groupies</span> would faithfully attend <span style="font-style: italic;">ceramahs</span> just like obsessed fans follow Michael Jackson concerts. We'll get to MJ later, I promise.

2964. <br />
2965. <br />The large and economically active Kelantanese diaspora on the West Coast are experiencing and witnessing first hand the political turmoil in their adopted states of Selangor, Perak and Penang plus KL of course. To many, the sight of <span style="font-style: italic;">kurang ajar</span> non-Malays <span style="font-style: italic;">naik toncang</span> in the federal parliament and the various West Coast state assemblies, including insulting His Highnesses the Agong and brother Sultans and, without proper <span style="font-style: italic;">adat</span>  and <span style="font-style: italic;">tatatertib</span>, outrageously questioning every conceivable tenet of the Constitution, is just too much. Many of these out-of-state Kelantanese are now actively enlightening their brethrens during trips back home, especially on PAS' role in this gross erosion of Malay political clout.
2966. <br />
2967. <br />And the issue of Nik Aziz Nik Mat, the PAS spiritual leader, often gets embroiled in the conversation. Many now openly question his wisdom in steadfastly opposing any form of <span style="font-style: italic;">rapprochement</span> with UMNO while supporting continued collaboration with DAP and PKR who really are the antithesis of PAS' image, philosphies and political struggles.

2976. <br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >A lot has been said about Nik Aziz Nik Mat’s steadfast stand against any form of talks between PAS and UMNO. To many, this is a sad indication of Nik Aziz’s abject lack of comprehension of the national political dynamics, where an unprecedented four-way-split of the Malay electorate on the back of the political coalescence of the non-Malay minorities have severely diluted Malay political hegemony. This in turn threw off-tangent the precarious socio-political equilibrium of our country as the 23+7 percent of the population leveraged on their empowerment to challenge every facet of our nation's affairs, from economic policies to education all the way to the core essence of Malaysian nationhood.
2977. <br />
2978. <br />I was surprised myself at the forcefulness of Nik Aziz’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcjakCrrH4E">very public denunciation</a> of Nasharuddin Mat Isa, the PAS deputy president and key initiator of the proposed PAS-UMNO “Malay Unity” talks. This is not the Tok Guru that I know and respected through the years. Patience, diplomacy, humility and other trademark virtues of this man in his two decades of rule in my home state and his stewardship of the Islamic party went out the window in the tirade.
2979. <br />
2980. <br />Malay nationalists, plus assorted political opportunists with a sudden “calling” for ethnic nationalism, were understandably outraged, and wasted no time lambasting Nik Aziz, who retaliated with his own barrage of outrageous innuendos, including equating UMNO's nationalist platform with Chin Peng's CPM and, bizarrely, with the loony sect of the <span style="font-style: italic;">dewa</span>-wannabe, Ayah Pin. Well, to oppose the pan-Malay dialogue is one thing, but to dismiss UMNO's three million plus members as the equal of the CPM bastards (who murdered the forefathers of many UMNO <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> PAS members) and to  the Sky Kingdom apostates brings us to another level.
2981. <br />
2982. <br />Many privately asked KijangMas, “Bosz, what’s your take? Why is Nik Aziz so naïve about Malaysian politics? How could he blatantly sabotage the political future of his fellow Malay Muslims?” Others also said, “Why would any patriotic Malay, not least the Kelantanese, support this man?”
2983. <br />
2984. <br />Adding to Malay incredulity is Nik Aziz's enigmatic thumbs up for Lee Kuan Yew, the living icon of the anti-Malays, during the latter’s recent visit to Kelantan.

2993. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Nik Aziz is actually a <span style="font-style: italic;">captive</span> of his pathological, all-encompassing hatred of UMNO. As I’ve mentioned in the past, his faction within PAS hates UMNO more than they love the Malays or Islam. To these people, they will do <span style="font-style: italic;">anything </span>to spite UMNO, hence the bizarre thumbs up for Lee Kuan Yew and the ongoing unholy alliance with the anti-Malay, anti-hudud “infidels” of the DAP and PKR. Whenever UMNO and Malay Muslim nationalists take a stand on an issue, Tok Guru almost by default will take the<span style="font-style: italic;"> opposite</span> stand no matter the untenability of his logic.
2994. <br />
2995. <br />Remember the hoopla about the usage of "Allah" in Malay-language publications and bibles that form part of the paraphernalia to Christianise the Malays? While federal agencies, state muftis, Malay Muslim NGOs and bloggers expended much time and intellectual resources to comprehensively counter the "Arabic-'Allah'-in-Malay-bibles-BUT-not-in-other-bibles" <span style="font-style: italic;">sandiwara</span> by the Catholic Herald and Christian proselytisers, Nik Aziz dropped a bombshell by proclaiming that it is o.k. for non-Muslims to use the term. The logic? In his sheltered mind mollycoddled cosily in the loving clutch of his pious flock, Nik Aziz theorised that non-Muslims might want to learn more about this "Allah" and may then convert in a happy ending to the story. Yup, if only life could be <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span> simple. But life outside the Tok Guru's little cocoon isn't so rosy. Indeed,  the motive of the Christian proselytizers is the <span style="font-style: italic;">exact opposite</span>. To these zealots, equating the familiar Muslim "Allah" with some other deity or collection of deities would make it easier to deceive impressionable young Malays and other Bumiputras.
2996. <br />
2997. <br />And in the midst of attacks by subversives on Malay Special Rights (that actually paved the way for the wholesale giveaway of precious Malayan citizenship to the <span style="font-style: italic;">pendatang</span> ancestors of these same subversives), Nik Aziz suddenly jumped in and proclaimed that the "Bumiputra" term is racist. Yup, anything</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >to spite Malay nationalists, which he simplistically lumped into the UMNO pool. Of course, t</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >his instantly made him the lovable <span style="font-style: italic;">pin-up mullah</span> of the anti-Malay subversives who would embrace anyone and anything that fit their nation-wrecking agenda. Oh, remember the Elizabeth Wong <span style="font-style: italic;">tidur kangkang </span>saga, where she blamed UMNO and everyone else except herself? Yup, true to form, Nik Aziz <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKwtn12qgsH7I2uZtle7HLN9N7UFWCU_Br1X5TkK5ux9nWerN2fD-Zuckq2XyNjmGMqfsj6fTYOBud7cElX3Qd7P5P1yE5bdhWM-AziJ9_p47SXDr5CFajbvn6N2xhI8h4BnKQV8uZjvvn/s320/TokguruElizabeth.jpg">welcomed her</a> </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >in Kelantan (mercifully covered-up in tudung and baju kurung this time), where she was feted like some kind of UMNO “victim.” Her audience with the Tok Guru apparently “absolved” her of all previous carnal sins and perversions. I wonder if Tok Guru ever gave a thought to the <span style="font-style: italic;">real</span> victim, the<span style="font-style: italic;"> teranianya</span> Malay Muslim woman that is Hilmi Malek's wife? Sad.
2998. <br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">
2999. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">The Tok Guru’s UMNOphobia arose from past bitter experiences during his party’s fleeting infatuation and subsequent power struggle with UMNO in Kelantan over three decades ago, which led to PAS’ acrimonious estrangement from the embryonic BN coalition. A younger Nik Aziz was a key proponent of PAS-UMNO unity in Tun Razak's new BN coalition at that time. The political crisis and federal emergency rule in Kelantan in 1978, which he attributed to UMNO's power-grabbing machinations, left him beaten, ridiculed and humiliated. His beloved PAS was decimated by defections, and prominent dissidents formed splinter mosquito parties in their battle for Kelantan. PAS remained in the wilderness for over a decade and was resurrected only when the Kelantan UMNO government imploded and crippled by MB Mohamad Yaakob's feud with the palace. Fired by parochial sentiment for Tengku Razaleigh's Parti Melayu Semangat 46, the Kelantanese comprehensively voted out UMNO in the 1990 GE and brought to power the Semangat 46-PAS alliance. PAS became the main beneficiary of this Ku Li-induced shift in voter sentiment, with Nik Aziz installed as MB while Ku Li and the Semangat 46 crew focused on the national stage in their bid to unseat Dr. Mahathir's UMNO/BN coalition at federal level. </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;">
3000. <br />
3001. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">PAS' political near-death experience and subsequent reemergence on the back of anti-UMNO, anti-federal sentiments starting in Kelantan and now in four other states left an indelible mark that forever shaped Nik Aziz's psyche towards UMNO. Hence, although the UMNO warlords of that era are now either demised or retired, Nik Aziz’s vengeance has not abated. And this man rebuilt his political career on the basis of antagonism with UMNO and continuing portrayal of UMNO as a party of deviant degenerates. Interestingly, his political fortune was also aided by Kelantan UMNO, which took it upon itself to implode repeatedly – in recurrent orgies of </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">cah keting</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> – over the past two decades. As long as most of the common Kelantanese abhor the bungling local UMNO characters, Nik Aziz will continue to rule the state.</span>
3002. <br />
3003. <br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Of course, in the national political perspective, PAS' collaboration with DAP and PKR has been detrimental to Malay political interests. Without PAS, Pakatan Rakyat would not be a viable political force and will cling to power only in Penang. But the worldview of Nik Aziz and many PAS members do not extend to such strategic thinking. They are still immersed in localised intra-Malay feuds -- the <span style="font-style: italic;">kafir-mengkafir</span> stuff -- within their cultural comfort zone. Hence, when senior PAS figures started to talk about some “Malay Unity” dialogue with UMNO, should we expect a different reaction from a politician whose “strength” is in Malay disunity? Yeah, why should Nik Aziz acquiesce to the political sanitization of UMNO (especially in his own Kelantan beachhead) by elevating this “sworn enemy” into a group worthy of civilized deliberations? Indeed, a rehabilitated UMNO will be a mortal threat to his group in PAS.</span>
3004. <br />
3005. <br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >So you see, Nik Aziz’s outburst and opposition to PAS-UMNO talks is nothing more than political self-preservation. Any form of dialogue with UMNO would threaten his political support base, and the Tok Guru will resort to any means to cast UMNO in a bad light. The comprehensive defeat of his slate of candidates in the recent party polls – most prominently, his protégé and neo-Anwarista, Husam Musa -- infuriated the Tok Guru. The victor, Nasharuddin, the spoiler in Anwar’s PKR-isation of PAS, must be punished and ridiculed. Hence Nik Aziz's stinging not very ulamak-like verbal attack.<span style="">  </span></span>
3006. <br />
3007. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >The pro-unity group within PAS, people like newly re-elected president and deputy president, Hadi Awang and Nasharuddin, are more appreciative of the national political dynamics in their capacity as MPs in the federal parliament.<span style="">  </span>They are necessarily pragmatic, less parochial and understand the deleterious impact of Malay political disunity, not just for the Malays but for the country as well. Over one year of political wrangling within the unwieldy, inherently untenable Pakatan Rakyat made it imperative for the Hadi-Nasha tandem to recast PAS’ anchor in the choppy Pakatan sea. A dialogue with UMNO would curtail DAP’s chauvinistic excesses and strengthen PAS’ hand in the Pakatan powergame as the alliance would collapse without the Islamist party.<span style="">   </span></span>
3008. <br />
3009. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >But why Nik Aziz cannot see the light? </span>
3010. <br />
3011. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >You see, Nik Aziz is essentially a glorified localised politician. His comprehension of the national political scene is clouded by a very thick haze of strategic ignorance and a worldview tinted with hearsay and factual distortions dished out by fawning simpletons.

In this rich agricultural and cultural heartland (which actually encompasses 35,000 sq km from southern Songkhla in Thailand to Setiu in Trengganu), one can blissfully exist and thrive from cradle to grave very much without uttering anything but Kelantanese.<span style="">  </span>And one’s worldview and mindset are forged from this specific social conditioning.<span style="">       </span></span>

Yup, the multicultural challenges plaguing New York or Los Angeles would not strike a chord with inhabitants of America’s White heartland. And no gubernatorial or congressional candidate running in these states would go far campaigning about issues specific to New York, LA and other cosmopolitan social hotspots.<span style="">   </span>The same principles apply in Kelantan. Remember Manek Urai? 99.2% Malay Muslims! Now that’s as homogeneous as you get anywhere on earth.

3023. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Nik Aziz's inherent parochialism is perhaps indicative of the psyche of the Kelantan masses. The Kelantanese traditionally are wary of central authority. Their extended social realm was partitioned into two halves by external powers with the advent of the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty, where Kelantan fell under the British sphere while its sister state of Patani was annexed outright by Siam. Hence, till this day, four million Kelantanese speakers (two million in-state and at least an equal number in other states) on the Malaysian half are cut-off from three million of their brethrens simmering in the four Thai-controlled provinces of Patani, Singgora, Menara and Jalor. Indeed, momentous geo-political history beyond petty Malaysian politics shaped the psyche of the Kelantan-Patani people, who necessarily view <span style="font-style: italic;">external forces </span>in negative light: The Riau Malays out of KL for the Kelantanese and the Central Chao Phraya Basin T’ai of Bangkok for the Patani people. </span>

Through the years, PAS has been viewed, perhaps justifiably, as the political platform that epitomised the unshackled, maverick and independent streak so inherent in the Kelantanese.

Again, not wholly untrue, UMNO is accused of withholding federal development funds and other economic injustices. Kelantan’s request for a regional TV station to cater to its linguistic and cultural specificities was long ago rejected, although even Thailand’s Channel 11 beaming out of Jalor (Yala) has news broadcasts and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSRe54jbOIg">entertainment</a> in Kelantanese-Patani Malay. And then we have the oil royalty fiasco. A lot can be said about this matter and I will leave it to a future post, but suffice to say that this will be yet another political timebomb of UMNO’s own doing.<span style="">    </span></span>

3033. <br />Promise nothing.
3034. <br />
3035. <br />Yeah, nothing neatly wrapped in a box of inconsequential intangibles. PAS has perfected the art of disseminating this nothingness via a fatalistic disposition juxtaposed on spiritual holiness spiced with vague allusions to some corollary divine blessings that would be “felt” only by the true believers.

3041. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Look, UMNO flourished in Kelantan in the seventies on the back of Tengku Razaleigh's stature in the party and government, as the creator and initial driver of our national treasure, Petronas, and as the all-powerful Finance Minister under PM's Razak and Hussein Onn. Ku Li propelled Kelantan politics to the national centre stage, with a very distinct possibility of him becoming the PM for ALL Malaysia, an <span style="font-style: italic;">Anok Kelaté</span> at the helm of our nation. Of course, there was a minor inconvenience of someone named Mahathir Mohamad in the way and the rest is history. Ku Li formed Parti Melayu Semangat 46 in the aftermath of the 1988 UMNO deregistration fiasco and fought UMNO/BN in two GEs before folding in 1996. Ku Li’s political machinations profoundly recalibrated Kelantan’s political dynamics. UMNO's influence in the state faltered and never quite recovered till this day as the post-Ku Li leadership stuttered and stumbled in their bid to regain Kelantanese support.
3042. <br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >
3043. <br />Of course, Kelantan UMNO is not helped by the disposition of its main cast of characters. Justifiable of not, the likes of Annuar Musa, Awang Adek Hussein, Fatmi Salleh and Sazmi Miah are not exactly bankable. Many ooze sleaze. Some are slimy to the touch. Others, such as Zaid Ibrahim, jumped ship to another party after earlier being canned for money politics and then failing to win even his own little branch elections, let alone the General Election. Zaid now swaggers to the Pakatan beat in his pantomime of false relevance with fellow opportunists in PKR. Perhaps the lone figure of dignity in Kelantan UMNO is Mustapa Mohamad. Datuk Pa is a good man, a technocrat, almost an accidental politician. But how much can one bland, uninspiring good man do to reverse UMNO’s fortunes in Kelantan?</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >

3067. <br />We must focus on the new crop of leaders -- of all parties -- who will determine the strategic direction of this country's Malay Muslim backbone. Let there be dialogue, not just an UMNO-PAS lovefest, but a healthy holistic discourse across the panacea of Malay society as we collectively rein in the excesses of the past half decade induced by a perfect storm swirling around an incompetent Malay leadership buttressed against a toxic cocktail of a lunatic fringe bent on dismantling the very essence of our Tanah Air in cohort with a chameleonic charlatan desperate to occupy Seri Perdana at all costs.
3068. <br />
3069. <br />Stable and cohesive Malay political leadership are the ultimate determinants of Malaysia's viability as a sovereign, progressive nation.

3087. <br />A quick online check confirmed the news, as it spread like wildfire in news portals, social network sites and blogs, with many sites <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/06/26/michael.jackson.internet/index.html">"choked"</a> by the sheer volume of MJ-related queries. Yes indeed, Michael Joseph Jackson, the pop icon of my 80s generation, died of cardiac arrest at the age of 50 in his rented Holmby Hills estate, a 15 minute drive via the Santa Monica freeway from my alma mater in a part of Los Angeles as much my “kampung” as KL and KB. The exact cause of death has not been conclusively determined and subject to rigorous toxicology tests, although all indications lead to the usual substance abuse prevalent among troubled stars. MJ's precarious <a href="http://mmail.com.my/content/6684-michael-was-serious-decline">physical state</a> contributory to his untimely demise is  subject to media speculation  around the world.

Of course, MJ was already a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1dAQN5QcZU">child prodigy</a> in the early seventies. But <span style="font-style: italic;">Thriller</span>, released in late 1982, proved to be a milestone in the evolution of American pop culture. The music bridged the ethnic divide as Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and all colours in between hummed to the tune of <span style="font-style: italic;">Human Nature</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Girl is Mine</span> and shuffled and gyrated to the beat of  <span style="font-style: italic;">Billie Jean</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Beat It</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Thriller</span> and the rest of his 37 U.S. Top 40 hits. Millions of people around the globe were touched by MJ's music. And I can still recall his memorable U.S. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Md5lPyuvsk">TV commercial</a> for Pepsi, co-starring a young Alfonso Ribeiro of <span style="font-style: italic;">Fresh Prince of Bel-Air</span> fame.

Another neighbour worked as a budgetting exec for 2oth Century Fox. I occasionally visit an Arab coursemate in his rented dilapidated haunted mansion-type bungalow near downtown LA where almost a dozen Hollywood "extras" camped out in spartan conditions waiting for their big break.

3244. <br />
3245. <br />We are supposed to be a modern nation, currently inundating the world with all sorts of liberalizations and empowerments and enablers and what not.

3250. <br />The Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua initiative launched by the Demi Negara Community triggered a potpourri of reactions from Malaysians at home and abroad. The vast majority are supportive while, as expected, a fringe group exhibited emotionally-charged resistance bordering on idiotic lunacy. Perhaps the dichotomous interpretation of the initiative between Mainstream Malaysiana and the prickly fringe groups reflects the demographic reality of Malaysia, where every act, every endeavour, every move are viewed from cloudy race-tinted lenses by a race-obsessed populace. The naysayers and resisters manifested in full glory their estrangement from reality, in a gory racist orgy sustained by collective denial of an inevitability. </span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3251. <br />
3252. <br />Yes, I say inevitable. </span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3253. <br />
3254. <br />There is no other way. </span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3255. <br />
3256. <br />Our 52-year experiment of stirring undiluted chunks of foreign cultural-linguistic elements in a Malay soup inside a curdling social cauldron has been an utter failure. We are now estranged, mutually-alienised, moving apart, and caught in a self-destructive game of racial extremism exacerbated by a flourishing anti-national movement stoked by long-dormant subversive forces.  </span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3257. <br />
3258. <br />Indeed, the survival of the Malaysian nation itself hinges on the recalibration of our social framework, beginning with infusing the necessary cohesion among our disparate populace. This shall begin with our children. They will determine Malaysia’s future, whether we hurtle into the abyss of social destruction based on the current socio-political trajectory or we emerge reinvigorated in 2020 as a progressive nation of the true <span style="font-style: italic;">Anak Bangsa Malaysia</span>, a nation of patriots cohesive in shared affinities and speaking in one voice – Bahasa Malaysia – the expressive soul of our nation.   </span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3259. <br />
3260. <br />Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua is the catalyst of this journey towards meaningful, cohesive nationhood, a key component of the blueprint of a raceless Malaysia that has been vigorously expounded in Demi Negara.
3261. <br />
3262. <br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">As of today, almost 1,600 people have signed the <a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/kempen-satu-sekolah-untuk-semua">on-line petition</a>, another 1,300  plus patriots became members of the Satu Sekolah <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1700428465&ref=profile#/group.php?gid=81464198751&ref=ts">Facebook site</a>, and dozens of blogs proudly carry the Satu Sekolah logo. Based on the petition and Facebook sites, Satu Sekolah supporters include cabinet members, prominent politicians, academics, government officials, corporate chieftains and Malaysians from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds. These are  the people who still believe in the Malaysian Story, in forging a united Bangsa Malaysia of  unquestioned loyalty to the land we share.</span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3263. <br />
3264. <br />Who then are the resisters to change? Who are these naysayers?</span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3265. <br />
3266. <br />The usual suspects.</span>
3267. <br />
3268. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Lets begin with politicians. In this respect, the Pakatan Rakyat has been interesting. Till today, there has not been a single adverse official reaction by either the DAP, PKR or PAS on Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua. Maybe they are cunningly calculative, as to oppose Satu Sekolah would be to repudiate their own vision of a unified Malaysia under their <span style="font-style: italic;">Ketuanan Rakyat</span> mantra. And when the Rakyat – the <span style="font-style: italic;">majority</span> Rakyat – speaks of One School, they listen.</span>
3269. <br />
3270. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">What about the Barisan Nasional? Well, we should not generalise, but a Teeny Weeny little Napoleon from a Barisan component party, MCA, made some noise, an act memorable for its humourous ludicrousness than anything else. Interestingly, this Wee Ka Siong @ Wei Jiaxiang chap is a Deputy Minister of Education, in effect a public servant voted by the Rakyat and sworn to serve us Rakyat irrespective of ethnicity or background.  Perhaps Teeny Weeny’s actions are quite understandable. You see, Teeny Weeny wants to be the new hope of his stuttering party after their near demolition by DAP and PKR in PRU12, and he gets more than his fair share of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBueqrkxKp4&feature=related">bludgeoning in Parliament</a> by </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">the DAP Chinese zealots  who accused him of not doing enough for Chinese schools in this country. Hence, Teeny Weeny's need to </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">be seen as <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2008%2F7%2F20%2Fnation%2F21873110&sec=nation"><span style="font-style: italic;">the </span>champion</a> of Chinese Rights in Malaysia today, and prove to his DAP and PKR and even Gerakan detractors that MCA is not a running dog of UMNO.  This spawned his foolish bravado of demonising Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua to the extent of threatening a <a href="http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Sunday/National/2564859/Article/index_html">police report</a> for “crimes” only known to him. The MIC didn't criticise Satu Sekolah, but did  <a href="http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/5/25/nation/20090525150537&sec=nation">their part</a> to further polarise our children as well.  </span>
3271. <br />
3272. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Yes friends, we are living in interesting times indeed. You push an initiative to unite Malaysians, you get threatened with a police report by no less than a serving deputy minister of Najib Razak’s <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">1 Malaysia</span> government. But when others spew seditious garbage against the Malays, Bahasa Malaysia, the Raja-Raja Melayu, Islam, NEP, even Malay Reserved Lands, they are feted as heroes by some, by the ungrateful beings who now deify the megalomaniac Chin Peng against all logic and realities of our country’s political history.     </span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">

3274. <br />With partners like this, what hope for BN and UMNO in PRU13? You see, the non-Malay votes are already lost to the PR, and now the Malays may view MCA with contempt and disgust thanks to the antics of the likes of Teeny Weeny. Do you think Teeny Weeny can retain Ayer Hitam without the Malays who composed 56.4%  of voters in the constituency and who would <a href="http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/special.asp?pr=pilihanraya2008&pg=kawasan/johor_p148.htm">loyally vote</a> for the BN <span style="font-style: italic;">dacing</span> at every PRU irrespective of candidate? We shall see. But I think Ayer Hitam is too  UMNO lah, too safe for heroes like Ah Siong. Perhaps BN should field him in Ipoh Timur or Seputeh to validate his gumption. But again, maybe this chap has noble intentions, perhaps misunderstood by many. But how could the Malays, including his Malay constituents who voted him to parliament, connect with his thoughts when his <a href="http://www.weekasiong.com.my/index.asp">webpage</a> is not in Bahasa Malaysia, but in Mandarin and English? Haiya Ah Siong, is this the way to say <span style="font-style: italic;">Terima Kasih</span> to the Malay voters who made you a YB?</span>   <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">

3276. <br />Teeny Weeny’s site also boldly proclaimed: “<span style="font-style: italic;">Speak Up, Make Changes, have NO FEAR</span>.”

3303. <br />Can we have an intelligent dialogue with fellow <span style="font-style: italic;">Warganegaras</span> who chose to communicate in a script alien and incomprehensible to the vast majority of the Rakyat?
3304. <br />
3305. <br />Thanks in part to these detractors, t</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">he Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua campaign has succeeded in putting the issue on the table. It has catalyzed healthy debate and raised public awareness. And contrary to claims by the forces of disunity, there really is nothing complicated about implementing One School by a sovereign nation.  This is not Rocket Science.  In fact, it is the norm in 99 percent of the world.  It is a national imperative, a necessary component of nationbuilding, indeed, a non-negotiable avenue towards the ultimate creation of a raceless Malaysia for all. The resisters and naysayers above are mere irritants to our larger national agenda that must be embraced by all <span style="font-style: italic;">Warganegaras</span> who pledged loyalty to King and Country, who in school swore to uphold the tenets of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Rukunegara</span>. </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Of course, the establishment of One School may be a long process, but we now have the roadmap as promulgated in the memo and a  tangible target.</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;">  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3306. <br />
3307. <br />We must ask ourselves: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Why should the selfish indulgence of some elements within the 24+7 percent of the populace hold our beloved nation hostage to debilitating social fragmentation in perpetuity?  </span>
3308. <br />
3309. <br />This anomaly is unheard of anywhere on earth. Why Malaysia so special? Why some people get special foreign language privileges in schools of their own making? Who is dependent on special privileges now? How come I see the proverbial<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="font-style: italic;">tongkat</span> and crutch galore whenever beneficiaries of this special concession twist and turn and kick and scream everytime the government tries to integrate their children with Mainstream Malaysiana?  Wau-lau-eh, sampai bila mau guna ini tongkat sekolah? Masih mau asingkan diri dari arus perdana selepas 52 tahun merdeka? Bila mau jadi Rakyat Malaysia sepenuhnya yang berinteraksi rapat dengan semua kaum dari awal bangku sekolah dan fasih dalam Bahasa Malaysia milik kita bersama? Kalau mau "sama rata," kita harus amalkan Satu Sekolah. Betul? Boleh? Tak mau? Tak boleh?   Masih pekat dalam kancah kuno belenggu perkauman yang menjahamkan negara?
3310. <br />
3311. <br />So your motto is <span style="font-style: italic;">Malaysia Tak Boleh</span> kah? Haiya, like this how?
3312. <br />
3313. <br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Our schools affect us Rakyat more than anything else. We should let the Rakyat decide. We should have a national referendum on vernacular schools. A simple Yes-No answer.  Let us collectively decide our future. </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">A referendum is a fair, equitable way to gauge the preference of the Rakyat.  We had referendums in the past on matters of more importance. Indeed, the formation of the expanded Malaysian Federation itself was determined via referendums of the people of Sabah and Sarawak. Other democracies have referendums as a matter of choice and necessity. In California, referendums are held for almost anything under the sun, from property taxes to public school funding to  same-sex marriages.  </span>  <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
3314. <br />
3315. <br />Yes, a referendum is the most democratic way. <span style="font-style: italic;">Nobody</span> can argue on the logic and fairness of the process as each of us has one vote <span style="font-style: italic;">irrespective</span> of origin, background, ethnicity or sentiment. This is the epitome of justice, fairness and <span style="font-style: italic;">kesamarataan</span> demanded by the anti-NEP forces all these years.

The Knights collectively conceived, formulated and refined a memorandum to the Deputy Prime Minister in a truly seamless self-regulating "Open Source" environment. And this is not for a trivial feel-good note. The memo covers a complex subject with far-reaching impact on nation building. </span></span></div>
3341. <br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ></span><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;">The memorandum to the DPM calls for a re-synthesization of our educational framework aimed towards forging a singular National School System conducted in Bahasa Malaysia, except, of course, for certain prescribed subjects.
3342. <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >
3343. <br />The rationale is two-pronged:-
3344. <br />
3345. <br />- One. There is no Constitutional provision for multiple language streaming of our schools. Education is an official matter of state, and per our Constitution, all such matters must be conducted in one language and one language only, our national language, Bahasa Malaysia. The supremacy of Bahasa Malaysia is also a matter of strategic national interest and a public good of the highest priority. Anything that transgresses this public good -- in this case Vernacular Schools -- by definition, are unconstitutional and must be removed from our social realm.
3346. <br />
3347. <br />- Two. The segregation of our citizens from a very young and impressionable age (via vernacular schools) has become the single biggest impediment to the creation of a true Bangsa Malaysia unified by a common identity, mindset and language. After  almost 52 years of Merdeka, a large proportion of MyCard-carrying <i>Warganegara Malaysia</i> are functional-illiterates in the language of their country of citizenship, and are incapable of partaking in the process of nation-building and social integration <i>expected</i> of citizens of any nation in this world.
3348. <br />
3349. <br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >The vernacular school menace MUST be eradicated from our blessed land. This is Malaysia. The national language is Bahasa Malaysia. English, the international language of commerce, science and technology can be a second, albeit unofficial language. The other languages are best kept and nurtured in their countries of origin and, if truly necessary as a cultural imperative in this country, be uttered within the private confines of the specific communities. This is clearly articulated in Article 152 of the Federal Constitution, which says:-</span>
3350. <br /><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
3351. <br /><blockquote style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The national language shall be the Malay language and shall be in such script as Parliament may by law provide, provided that no person shall be prohibited or prevented from <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">using</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">otherwise than for official purposes</span>, or from<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> teaching</span> or <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">learning</span> any other language.
3352. <br /></span>
3353. <br /></div></blockquote><div style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The operative words here -- "using," "teaching" and "learning" the other languages -- refer to the usage and acquisition of these languages <span style="font-style: italic;">in and of themselves only</span>, and restricted to the context of "otherwise than for official purposes" and do not by any stretch of the imagination infer to their usage as the <span style="font-style: italic;">language of instruction</span> in such an important "official purpose" as Malaysia's school system.</span>
3354. <br /><span style="font-size:130%;">
3355. <br />I don’t see any other way to forge national integration, national unity, to instill a sense of commonality of purpose and a sense of shared destiny except to vigorously push for a streamlined, singular School System for ALL Malaysians. Every single one of us, of all origin and ethnicity, must speak in one tongue and undergo the same educational journey as <i>Warganegaras</i> of this blessed land. No single Anak Bangsa Malaysia should be allowed to fall into the <a href="http://balankumarpremakumaran.blogspot.com/2009/04/malaysian-indians-and-their-attitude.html">communal trap</a> laid by selfish, irrational chauvinists and <a href="http://www.asiaone.com/News/Education/Story/A1Story20080717-77229.html">denied the same opportunity</a> as Mainstream Malaysiana.</span>
3356. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;" align="justify"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >
3357. <br />Relive the battle cry "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnYrfk-d-w"><i>Satu Bangsa Satu BAHASA, Malaysia Berjaya!</i></a>" of our forefathers amidst external threats when <i>Persekutuan Malaysia</i><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> was formed in 1963. And a single school system taught in Bahasa Malaysia is the single-most crucial element in the forging of this true Anak Bangsa Malaysia and the determinant of Malaysia's tenability as a cohesive and progressive nation for all.

3373. <br />Gejala-Gejala Polarisasi Kaum di Malaysia</span>
3374. <br />
3375. <br />Pengkajian semula sistem pelajaran negara ini haruslah dilakukan memandangkan fenomena perpecahan kaum yang semakin meruncing di masa kini. Gejala ini amatlah jelas sekali di alam siber dimana segelintir masyarakat kini mempamirkan sikap anti-negara yang semakin berleluasa. Jelas sekali, anasir-anasir ini tidak menghormati asas dan prinsip Perlembagaan negara, tiada rasa cinta kepada Tanah Air dan juga menonjolkan penulisan hasutan yang mencetuskan sentimen perkauman yang begitu ketara sekali. Secara lantang anasir subversif ini mempertikaikan segala lambang kedaulatan dan intipati negara kita tercinta. Dari pengamatan kami, puak penderhaka ini antara lain telah menyentuh perkara seperti berikut:-
3376. <br />
3377. <br />• Mempertikai kedaulatan institusi Raja-Raja Melayu yang diperuntukan dalam Perkara 181 Perlembagaan Malaysia .
3378. <br />
3379. <br />• Membangkitkan isi-isu sensitif seperti kedudukan istimewa Orang Melayu dan kaum Bumiputra lain yang termaktub dalam Perkara 153 Perlembagaan Malaysia .
3380. <br />
3381. <br />• Mengabaikan Bahasa Rasmi negara, iaitu Bahasa Malaysia, dan mempromosikan secara meluas bahasa-bahasa asing, termasuk Mandarin dan Tamil, yang bertentangan dengan Perkara 152 Perlembagaan Malaysia.
3382. <br />
3383. <br />• Menidakkan adanya suatu Kontrak Sosial (berkaitan kerakyatan masyarakat Bukan Melayu dan kedudukan istimewa Orang Melayu) yang telah terjalin di antara kaum-kaum di negara ini sejak Merdeka dahulu.

3399. <br />
3400. <br />Setelah hampir 52 tahun merdeka, negara kita kini menghadapi masalah perkauman dan kerapuhan sosial yang amat membimbangkan. Polarisasi kaum telah sampai ke tahap kritikal dan kini mengancam kesejahteraan masyarakat dan keselamatan negara. Justeru, Malaysia sudah tiada pilihan kecuali berikhtiar untuk menzahirkan suatu Bangsa Malaysia yang teguh bersatu, yang berbahasa Kebangsaan sebagai bahasa utama, yang bersepadu dalam pemikiran dan yang mempunyai tahap patriotisme yang tinggi berlandaskan cinta kepada negara dan hormat kepada Perlembagaan.

To me this is an ill-advised stance and, if it persists, would lead to further degeneration of our social order. The undercurrents of discontent to this state of affairs among the Malay majority would be to the detriment of UMNO and the BN and ultimately the nation itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it is, the non-Malays have &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;berpaling tadah&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;en masse&lt;/span&gt; to Pakatan. They have tasted the intoxicating nectar of power and it is beyond Najib or anyone else to turn them over to the BN in the foreseeable future. Whatever goodies and  giveaways thrown at these people now would just be wasted trump cards earning nothing in return. And these concessions are politically almost impossible to retract or take back once they are dished out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;     &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;My advise to Najib and his team is to lay off these wayward non-Malays for now. Ignore and forget these hopelessly seduced bigots and chauvinists and let them &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;tango &lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; cha cha&lt;/span&gt; and&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; joget&lt;/span&gt; to their hearts content with the Pakatan gang until the honeymoon ends in a self-destructing calamity of scandals, failed expectations and infighting that would mushroom as PRU13 inches closer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Najib should instead focus his energy on rebuilding the Malay support base for UMNO, and work towards some semblance of  &quot;Malay Unity&quot; with PAS within 24 months&lt;/span&gt;&lt;style&gt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal  {mso-style-parent:&quot;&quot;;  margin:0in;  margin-bottom:.0001pt;  mso-pagination:widow-orphan;  font-size:12.0pt;  font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;  mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;} @page Section1  {size:8.5in 11.0in;  margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;  mso-header-margin:.5in;  mso-footer-margin:.5in;  mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1  {page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable  {mso-style-name:&quot;Table Normal&quot;;  mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;  mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;  mso-style-noshow:yes;  mso-style-parent:&quot;&quot;;  mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;  mso-para-margin:0in;  mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;  mso-pagination:widow-orphan;  font-size:10.0pt;  font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;  mso-ansi-language:#0400;  mso-fareast-language:#0400;  mso-bidi-language:#0400;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;as PAS drifts away on the choppy waves from the unwieldy, erratic Pakatan ship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Whether it cares to admit or not, UMNO&#39;s future as the political ruler of this land has become inexorably tied to PAS&#39; political machinations and leadership intrigue. If the pragmatic nationalists  prevail over the orthodox dogmatists in PAS&#39; own internal powerplay, the party will &quot;see the light&quot; and distance itself from Pakatan.  And this would profoundly impact Malaysia&#39;s political dynamics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;                &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;What does it take to induce this seismic shift in Malay politics?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;This is the kind of poser PM Najib and his inner circle must contemplate and strategise, the focal point of his quest to forge a solid political base that would facilitate the pursuance of his agenda for national renewal.  Hence, the PM should not waste precious time indulging in Mandarin blogs and embracing untenable concepts touting perpetual social variegation that would further propel this nation into a ruinous existence. Najib need not fall over backwards to portray an ill-conceived and unrealistic pseudo-liberalist persona to a group already seduced and poisoned by the Pakatan charlatans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m also boggled by PM Najib&#39;s embrace of vernacular schools. This was first demonstrated when he was DPM during the KT By-elections with his RM50 million gift to the SJKCs. I also sense in him a lax attitude towards  language. Yes, we all noticed that his &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1 Malaysia&lt;/span&gt; blog comes in three languages including Mandarin. Many patriots sent me notes on this, and a gentleman even wrote a strongly worded e-mail to Najib (copied to me) complete with a link to my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://deminegara.blogspot.com/2008/11/racial-polarisation-and-forging-of.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Racial Polarisation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;post. Couldn&#39;t Najib &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;see&lt;/span&gt; the ravages on our social cohesion caused by this cancerous SJK anomaly? Is he &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;that &lt;/span&gt;ill-informed, out of touch, blissfully ignorant? Another Sleepyhead in the making? Indeed, is he &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; well read? Or has he become too dependent on ill-conceived briefing papers and abridged analyses percolating from some obscure basement labyrinth in Putrajaya?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My concern here is the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;quality&lt;/span&gt; of advise Najib is getting. At the moment, albeit still very early days, and as mentioned, he seemed more concerned with garnering non-Malay support than anything else. What do you think is currently going through the minds of Malay Nationalists, the bedrock of UMNO&#39;s support across the land?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, Najib&#39;s &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1 Malaysia &lt;/span&gt;concept is still in its infancy and will need further calibration, but thus far I don&#39;t see any clear blueprint or roadmap for the forging of a real &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Anak Bangsa Malaysia&lt;/span&gt; as I have exhaustively expounded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;What is the socio-political basis of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1 Malaysia&lt;/span&gt;? Yes, beyond the catchy jingoism? Indeed, way before we shout catchy slogans and nifty buzzwords that mean nothing beyond the  superficial glitter and noisy razzmatazz, we must first forge a solid ideological foundation, an irrepressible philosophy that makes &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1 Malaysia&lt;/span&gt; a natural, long-overdue social blueprint that would be embraced by the Rakyat as a matter of rational imperative. And this foundation of nation-building must be able to withstand the test of logical inquisition and critical analysis and prevail and flourish as something so profound, so necessary, so timely in this phase of our nation&#39;s existence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;To do this, Najib and his team must revisit the primordial &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;building blocks&lt;/span&gt; of our nationhood. They themselves must understand history and will need to communicate to the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Rakyat &lt;/span&gt;how and why we became what we are today and what needs to be done to recalibrate the trajectory of our social evolution. Explain the flawed  prescriptions of the first 51 years of nationhood, including the utter neglect and confusion of the past six years, that collectively created an untenable multilingual, multicultural, multi-identity and multi-everything milieu forged on a brittle palate of overlapping realities pulled apart by the incompatible aspirations and divergent expectations of a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;mutually-estranged populace. Then expound why we have no choice but to recalibrate our societal dynamics to a new paradigm of shared affinities underpinned by  a common, pervasive national language, Bahasa Malaysia, and a socio-cultural  mold based on the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;budaya &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;tatasusila&lt;/span&gt; of the original &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Orang Melayu&lt;/span&gt; essence of this nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;This is the immediate challenge for the PM and his team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;And my message to the subversive historio-revisionists: ponder and contemplate with much-needed humility the statements below by the pioneering leaders of the minority communities. This one-third of the Malaysian &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Rakyat &lt;/span&gt;has today deviated from their aspired place in our society and  has been &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;the&lt;/span&gt; main obstacle to nation-building, due in part to their complete and utter ignorance of Malaysian history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minorities must be infused with a sense of  responsibility (which comes with the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Kerakyatan&lt;/span&gt; package) to help forge a civil, progressive society, a common, irrepressible &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Bangsa Malaysia yang memartabatkan &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Satu Bahasa&lt;/span&gt; Satu Negara dan berlandaskan &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Satu Bangsa&lt;/span&gt; Satu Negara&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Quote from a speech by MIC President and Works, Telecom and Posts Minister,&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; V.T. Sambanthan in the Dewan Rakyat on June 1, 1965&lt;/span&gt;:-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;… in 1955 we won the elections with a great majority. Then we obtained freedom in two years time. During this period, we had to discuss citizenship and various other things. Now what did the Malays do -- since we are speaking on racial lines -- what did the Malay leadership do? They had 88 percent of the electorate still with them. What did they do with citizenship? If we look around in Asia and East Asia, particularly, you will find that my race the Indian race, is not welcomed in Ceylon, is not welcomed in Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at my brother Chinese race, it is not welcomed in Thailand, in Vietnam, in Cambodia, in all the other areas. What help do they get for citizenship in all these territories? In Burma, as we know, Indians have been send packing, in Ceylon they refused them citizenship and in Burma it is likewise. I know it, you know it. And yet in Malaya what happened? Here we found that the Malay leadership said, &quot;We shall take them unto ourselves as brothers, we shall give them full opportunity to live in this country, we shall give them every opportunity to become citizens.&quot; And so, in 1957, for the whole year, we waived language qualifications, and tens of thousand of Indians, Chinese, Ceylonese and others became citizens ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said, it has been my great good fortune to have been born in this country. Where else can you find a more charitable, a more polite, a more decent race than the Malay race? Where else can you get such politically decent treatment for any immigrant race? &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Where else in the history of the world?&lt;/span&gt; I ask you. These are the facts. Who are you to safeguard us? I am a 10 percent minority race here. But I am happy here.&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;(Source: Tan Sri Khalid Awang Osman, Malaysia - An Anthology, Vantage Press, New York, p. 60)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;     &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Quote of statement by Tan Siew Sin, MCA President and Finance Minister in a local daily titled, &quot;Tun Tan Answers Critics on Special Previleges&quot; dated April 30, 1969:-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;The Malays, through UMNO, were generous enough to relax the citizenship laws of this country to such extent that within 12 months of independence, 90 percent of the non-Malays became citizens. This was different to the situation before Merdeka whereas &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;90 percent of the non-Malays were still non-citizens after nearly 100 years of colonial rule in the Malay States&lt;/span&gt;. In return for this major concession. the MCA and the MIC agreed to continue the policy of preserving the special position of the Malays while at the same time upholding the legitimate interest of other communities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;(Source: Tan Sri Khalid Awang Osman, Malaysia - An Anthology, Vantage Press, New York, pp.38-39)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 0, 0); text-align: justify;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;So there you have it. In  no uncertain terms. In the public record. Unequivocal. Edged for posterity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read and reread carefully the profound statements by V.T. Sambanthan and Tan Siew Sin. Need I say anymore? Still want to deny facts? Still want to rewrite history? Still think you owe the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Melayu Tuan Tanahs&lt;/span&gt; nothing? You exist as &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Warganegaras &lt;/span&gt;with all kinds of &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Hak &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Keistimewaan&lt;/span&gt; on this &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Bumi Tanah Melayu&lt;/span&gt; out of your own volition, the sheer briliance of your species, as a natural right bestowed by some higher being?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reread the two statements. Instill a sense of &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Keinsafan&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Sikap Berterimakasih &lt;/span&gt;to the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Orang Melayu&lt;/span&gt; for your incredible good fortune to be able to live here and partake in your cultural excesses to your heart’s content with little fear or restrictions and even to the detriment of the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Melayu Tuan Tanahs&lt;/span&gt; themselves. A little &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Sedar Diri &lt;/span&gt;and appreciation of your &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Asal Usul&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Tempat Dalam Masyarakat&lt;/span&gt; would go a long way towards the rehabilitation of your groupthink, to cleanse your souls of the inherent &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;mala fide&lt;/span&gt; and degenerative inclinations, and provide a glimmer of hope, albeit excruciatingly faint, of your embrace of the tenets of the true &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Bangsa Malaysia&lt;/span&gt; concept that I have expounded many times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, go read the two statements and learn it by hard and repeat them to yourselves whenever you are inflicted by your peculiar primal urge to cause social mayhem and bedlam in my &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Tanah Air Tercinta&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://deminegara.blogspot.com/2009/04/losers-luncheon-and-3-in-1-malaysia.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KijangMas)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHferm9kKEzM3FherQ0P4-pLWJPYvhTJQdDuSXDEw95Vc1k7e19XkxdgQKtuIo95cmgOK6BoaXdyq4raswr43gxRAG_atRh7BB3PKeFuKxKrEMXm9Ka45WL_FJx052lwgEmg0iQFPESQ/s72-c/KM_at_Losers_Luncheon.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>385</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
