DEC 2 — With the 13th General Elections a day closer with each sunrise, Malaysians are served with a nauseating fare of daily news by major electronic and print media agencies.
It seems that these days, Malaysian lives revolve around that annual gathering of rabid humans in Putra World Trade Centre whose antics would put even simians to shame.
It’s a place where foul language is cheered upon. A place where religious bashing is commonplace. A place where pots and kettles gather to call others black.
It’s a place where one race reigns supreme, not unlike Hitler’s mantra. A place where seeds of hatred are sown, nurtured and watered. A place that reeks of corruption and hypocrisy.
A place where a backdoor minister is angry over dubious goings-on at her hubby’s business venture. A place where warlords of all sorts and sizes gather hoping to find perhaps a scrap in the form of electoral candidacy or senatorships or even cow-rearing projects! Talk about milking moo-lah till the cows come home …
It’s a place where the gathered are led by a deputy prime minister who is a Malaysian last. A place where a deputy minister accuses a political party of being agents of Christianisation.
A place where the president-cum-PM is a two-faced chameleon in human guise. A PM who espouses a global movement of moderates yet remains silent in suppressing rabid extremism amongst his party comrades.
It is also a place where the average Malaysian see the normally loud, obnoxious, opiniated leaders of the minor parties in the coalition sitting impassively, almost disinterested at the charged up proceedings.
It’s interesting to note the “Mr Nice Guy” and “Mr Cheated on My Wife and Got Caught With Pants Off” presidents of two components parties keeping their zip (not pants) shut despite the obvious racial and religious bigotry on show. If they should ever contemplate an alternative career, I’m sure co-authoring “An Idiot’s Guide to Being A Yes Man” would set them up for life.
Umno is not at a political crossroads. It’s facing execution and with it annihilation in the next GE. What the leaders are trying to do lately is akin to trying to gain a last-second reprieve from the powers-to-be for them to live, to fight another day.
I happened to catch the animated movie “A Bug’s Life” recently. For the uninitiated, it revolves around an ant named Flik who tries hard to fight off a bunch of grasshoppers.
Now these grasshoppers, they’re bullies. They take what they want from the ants without regard, not unlike a government that steals from its people to line its own pocket.
Now, as with most movies, it had a happy ending. Flik makes the colony realise that despite their smaller size, they have the numbers. Needless to say, the grasshoppers get their comeuppance with their leader getting a good blast up the backside.
The people, citizens of Malaysia, must realise that the power is in their hands. You and me, we decide who leads the country and in which direction it is to be led towards.
The time for reckoning is close at hand. The time has come for Malaysians to say enough is enough. It is time to show them political simians that we are the arbiters of our nation’s destiny.
Until then, I’m just going to ignore the gathering of the deluded cult comforted in the knowledge that the end is near.
Taken with a liberal dose of cynicism, it does make for a good laugh or two on a rainy, gloomy day, the antics of these idiots …
Why are you so surprised…
UMNO has always been a party with no class…or rather in P. Ramlee’s terms “Low Class”…
Treat them as clowns …you are never far away fom the truth.
UMNO b has never been a political party at all.
It sacked the old and formulated the new…by a ring leader with a band of robbers and thieves to use money to buy up the country.
Outwardly….pretending how great and noble they are…the protector of race and religion..to keep fooling their own race.
Inwardly…all became fat and filthy rich….stealing by the billions each year fir decades…one for party…one for sons and family.
Billions are at off shores…not in Malaysia.
They need to have a string of companies to play their money game…going round and round…as if Malaysians are idiots….do not know.
But even if you know..like the cows…Police will quickly say…no corruptions detected….when cows live in condominium and travel in Merz cars.
Even lands bought at PutraJaya for them to live in.
No corruptions…where tons of proofs given.
Therefore…treat them like clowns and do your part at 13th GE.
Millions already stolen and thieves spent some like lords and kings.
What can you do…when BILL is protecting the thieves?
They cannot force you to vote for them.
So it leaves to the People Power to do the job.
Let PR politicians watch them like hawks on frauds….phantom voters…cheating and bribing to win….like in the past.
This time…People Power will not tolerate none of that.
It will be a show of power..who is the real boss…UMNO b or People Power…that no BILL can help the thieves.
Mr.Nice guy was caught with pants off..really pants off…at Highland Tower tragedy…jumping out from ground floor naked….to car.
I guess…the gentlemen in PR parties..do not wish to wash dirty linens to win elections.
And today…an UMNO b minister said to beat keDAILan and PAS …no problem.
It is DAP they are afraid of..and it will be DAP they keep on mooooing and yelling.
///despite the obvious racial and religious bigotry on show///
As usual, race and religious supremacy are all they could think and talk about in their meeting.
Dis nation has a BRIGHT future under UmnoB, indeed so BRIGHT dat it will SELF DESTRUCT under a BALL of racist, corrupt INFERNO
So sad 2 C bo hud msm editors who sold their SOULS 2 d DEVILS, not a single objective critical sound on d sicko acts at UmnoB GA
Msm as d CONSCIENCE of nation/society, certainly forget abt it; silence of d lambs, just like all bo huds fr component parties of BN
UNLESS dis pervasive n massive GRP OF PARASITES n BULLIES can b VOTED OUT, dis nation is doomed 2 its eventual fiery BRIGHT future
Remember one thing: Tunku Abdul Rahman NEVER joined UMNO Baru. This is NOT UMNO of Tunku even if they hail him as a hero. The fact is if Tunku and Onn Bin Jaffar were to see this UMNO GA today, they would cry in agony.
Its not the racism – that has existed long time ago. ITS THE INSANITY. – the basis of what they do are simply LIES. From a little untruth in 513, lies has now become what they are now.
It has never worked and will never work. What follow these lies are simply abuse and oppression. Its always been that way. Lying simply is not enough. Cheating in the GE is the necessary for them and after that, it will be stealing in scale you have yet to see. The stealing will be in all those people whose rights, opportunities and future taken from them as the world move forward and they fall behind. You think its been bad comparing to Singapore? You have seen nothing yet..
Yes Bigjoe, insanity is the word. Umno is plainly insane; and profoundly so.
UMNO President and Deputy President repeatedly said that UMNO could rule alone in the 1950s when the population of Malays was 2.5 million, Chinese 2.5 million and Indian 700 thousand. Malays had only 40% of the population when they fought against Malayan Union. Now Malays form anything between 60% to 70 % of the population depending on whom they like to include for their political advantage. So UMNO can rule alone, now. When UMNO can rule alone what uses are MCA and Gerakan to Barisan National? As for MIC, it is better left unsaid.
Najib said that non-Malays did not suffer under NEP. So, to UMNO NEP is a good policy for non-Malays, and it would not end.
MCA could have told the people whom MCA said to represent to be patience and time would solve NEP problems. Najib has declared that since NEP is good for non-Malays, like Muhyiddin said they survive and prosper on spillovers, the government would keep NEP never mind the statistics. UMNO pretended that they respect statistics and the target set while doctoring the figures to show that the moving target cannot be reached. Now UMNO declares that since NEP is so good for non-Malays, there is no sunset target.
Chinese would be stupid to vote Barisan National. It is better to have a short and honourable life than to a long and suffocating one, in political term. Of course MCA is only the vehicles meant for the connected, to get despicable financial gains. One does not mind them selling their soul. But in selling their soul they provide the excuse for UMNO to claim power sharing by all races is something honorable Malaysians cannot support.
When dap complained about corruption umno replied with claims of anti-melayu (meaning anti-umnoputras) and anti-islam (jenis umno) and they went absolutely gaga over those claims. This is not moronic, this is pure senselessness and complete stupidity of the highest order.
A place where wrongdoing is protected
One way now by a ‘new’ PA Law that was rushed
Unleash Bersih3 if pre-election reforms neglected
People Power’s spirit definitely not crushed
How dare will they voice up. One is the back door Minister even he have not able to lead his own party. He also dare not to be another candidate but only wish to lead? What to lead? May be he is better to lead the cows. No hope on this party any way. So he will just toll away as far he can be Minister for few more months. Smile behind his big boss and smile when his own photo is crush.
The other was not better. He was tainted with a crime that can easily be charged if he is opposition. So he will also toll along as far he always say YES along ….
Now the boh huds besides referring to the eunuchs like KTK and CSL,they also include msm like Star and also especially the so called largest circulation chinese paper Sin Chew.We understand why the two infamous boh huds can keep silent for protecting self interest but Sin Chew also becomes a big boh hud newspaper now.
United Malays National Organisation should be renamed United Feed-a-Lot National Organisation.
a biased article written by a rascist who look at the Malays as unworth of respect even as a human being. Wondered whether the writer will write the same on the rascist Chinese in DAP who year in year out talk about their race superiority and hating the Malays. :))
Najib & his supporters are inherently insincere, deceptive, manipulative and corrupt. Asian Spring will follow the Arab Spring. It is glaringly clear, Najib’s only concern time & time again is: To win & stay in power so he & cronies maintain the lifestyle. He is never a fraction of Lee Kuang Yew, he is never concerned about corruption, fairness, human rights, democracy, progress and the welfare of his people! As a neutral, 3rd party, I see too clearly.
