JUNE 21 — Ibrahim Ali continues to abuse Umno and it stands idle. He continues to belittle Umno every moment he gets and Umno absorbs the punishment willingly. Umno must be led by masochists. Are we enjoying receiving pain and getting sexually aroused at that?
Ibrahim Ali continues to humiliate Umno and all we can do is say, Ibrahim Ali is harmless and he speaks for the unspeaking Malay.
In July, Bersih is organising a mammoth rally to demand our Elections Commission to conduct its business professionally. That means to ensure elections are fair and transparent. The intended rally has drawn some xenophobic response from various groups. None more exceedingly intolerant than the one shown by Perkasa, the organisation headed by one Ibrahim Ali.
If Ibrahim Ali is more Umno than Umno, what has the real Umno become?
Umno has undergone a sex change. Probably in Thailand.
What has Ibrahim Ali done? He is telling the world that he will mobilise a large number of people to confront Bersih’s Rally. He’s even talking about a physical confrontation and that he will be at the forefront ready to shed blood. In his self-induced state of hysteria, he has warned the Chinese community not to get involved raising the spectre of the racial clashes of May 13 1969.
Clearly what Ibrahim Ali is saying is incendiary and seditious. He’s openly talking about bloodshed among the races. That’s willful and intentional desire to kill other people. It’s a murderous threat. Yet the security authorities appear ineffectual to act against Ibrahim Ali.
If the government doesn’t act against Ibrahim Ali it will be seen as an accomplice with Ibrahim Ali in the furtherance of an act or acts of allowing itself to be held at ransom by Ibrahim Ali. If that is not stupidity on our part, what else can it be? What’s happening to Umno? It’s allowing Ibrahim Ali to be its voice? Where is the leadership material?
What kind of material is Umno made of allowing itself to be cuckolded by the incorrigible Ibrahim Ali? Why is Umno applying kid’s gloves on Ibrahim Ali? It must use its knuckle dusters and deal Ibrahim Ali as the law would want to. Quickly.
Ibrahim Ali is not an Umno member and he isn’t a liability to Umno. It’s of no consequence to Umno if Ibrahim Ali is dealt with properly by the laws of Malaysia. Apply ISA or whatever on him. Get him under the sedition laws of this country or whatever.
If the government doesn’t act against Ibrahim Ali, then it cannot but be seen as impotent. People can carry out threats and other transgressions of violent intent and import with impunity and the government stands back.
It’s puzzling why the Police has not acted against Ibrahim Ali for such incendiary and seditious remarks. It is also puzzling how he got a permit to hold such an aggressive rally so quickly from the authorities. Yet the same authorities are showing their lead-weighted feet in issuing a valid permit to the organiSers of Bersih.
As to the barefaced threats to the Chinese community, Ibrahim Ali’s hysteria and Umno’s acquiescence will cause a desertion of Chinese votes. Ibrahim Ali has succeeded where others have failed — To hasten the flight of Chinese votes away from BN. Of course Malay ultras can insist they don’t need Chinese votes to win elections. But then they also forgot, the can’t get the majority of Malay votes.
Let’s see whether Malay support can be re taken by allowing Ibrahim Ali speak brazenly about a re-minted Malay triumphalism. We are allowing Ibrahim Ali to represent the rational and collected Malay voice.
Have we lost our marbles? Ibrahim Ali is a bloody hypocrite. His entire business ventures are done with the Chinese whose blood he is after and the commission of bodily harm he is advocating. His bridge projects were completed and done with Chinese and Chinese money. He was off to Macau last week to meet up with Chinese cukongs.
By keeping quiet and allowing Ibrahim to speak as it were as Umno’s voice, we are showing clearly we have a death wish. Umno stands idly by and therefore guilty of causing its own isolation. Umno will be poorly judged. — sakmongkol.blogspot.com
