THE SWORN OATH

AND THEY WALK AMONG US!
I read with disgust of former UMNO/ BN Ministers and politicians, who’ve upon joining so-called non-governmental organisations and/ or the opposition, becoming “amanah” or trustworthy after they are no longer in power. Did they just get their conscience back?
In the Malaysian Insider yesterday, this ex-minister admitted to “been given lump sums of money to distribute” as head of delegation of many campaigns, though he was quick to declare that he didn’t personally use the money. Does he think the world would believe him?
People like him should be treated as an “Outcast” or “Pariah”, not only to the Party but also to the Nation.

Speechless In Power But A " Singer " In Retirement
Definition of Pariah:
pa·ri·ah [puh-rahy-uh]
noun
1. An outcast.
2. Any person or animal that is generally despised or avoided.
3. ( Initial capital letter ) a member of a low caste in southern India and Burma.
Reference: Online Dictionary
The government is on trial based on the words of an ageing politician who wants to remain relevant by declaring alleged wrongdoings of the government while he remained a part of it then. It doesn't make him any noble for making the confession today.
What it does is putting his "shady" credibility in question for not having the sincerity to resign on principle while being an accessory to corruption, if his allegations are correct.
As I have said before in my previous posting here Kadir should shake himself out of this hallucination implying that the people do not enjoy the right to free and fair elections in this country.
Lest his memory should be failing him because of his age, please allow me to remind him that it was the truly free and fair elections that saw his brother Abdul Aziz lose his seat in Kulim to an unknown (Zulkifli Nordin) who has today become more recognized in politics than he and his brother will ever be.
And it was also because of truly free and fair elections that we saw the opposition become the ruling government in 5 States in the Peninsula.
While he had the audacity to ask UMNO to accept the losses, his own brother could not accept the choice of the Rakyat. He went to court to contest his loss in Kulim, although the leaders were not too keen on such an action.
In response to Kadir’s call, PAS has already been given the right to publish news through Harakah, a publication for its members, however, no action has been taken by the authorities for its wide distribution beyond the party. PKR also has their own publication though they don’t have a newspaper license.
Kadir's action further suggests that no license is required for anyone to spread more lies to confuse the Rakyat. It is not losing that we fear, but misleading and fooling the Rakyat with slander and libel that worries the sincere leaders of this Nation. There is more to this country than just politics.
Abdul Kadir has two other brothers who are holding positions in different UMNO divisions. One of his brothers is said to be close to one of the top leaders in UMNO. I suggest that our leaders be wary of this family and not allow privileges be given to them if their loyalty as proven can be wavering while trying to remain noticed once they become insignificant.
The UMNO Disciplinary Board Too Needs To Constitute Proceedings Against Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir. Perhaps We Can Use This Opportunity In Exhibition To PAS As To How To Expel One Of Our Members With Class…But Then Again In My View, Kadir’s Reputation Is Not Even Worth The Ink On The UMNO Expulsion Papers!

MAY GOD HELP NAJIB RAZAK!
Every two steps our Prime Minister takes forward, it seems like he is taken ten steps back by the people that he has entrusted to collectively run this country.
Surely they can make decisions reasonable enough not to refer to him every single time and if so, it has to be well thought of to the advantage of the Government benefitting the Nation, and not to destroy it.
Now, PKR is organizing a rally on the 9th of January 2012, a working day and in the middle of Kuala Lumpur.
What is this demonstration about? Is it to object a half pornographic Western rock concert? Is it to protest against foreign interference in our domestic political affairs?
NO! It is to pressure and influence a Court’s decision on a person who along with his political party, are supposedly famous for championing the Rule of Law (only when it favours them, as history has shown).
This indirectly is tantamount to contempt of court and should be deemed outright illegal.
Anyone who thinks that the demonstration can be done peacefully if an unfavourable verdict is delivered, must seriously have their heads examined!
NO WIN SITUATION:
Here are the scenarios for the Government to comprehend if the demonstration is permitted:
1. 1. If the ex-convict in question is convicted again, there will be chaos in the streets and condemnation of the judicial system implicating the government in the same breath.
2. 2. On the other hand, if he is acquitted, the Judiciary will be given a soft pat in the back and the government will be whacked with maximum ridicule while he comes out of the courthouse to loud cheers and celebrations akin to receiving Gandhi and Mandela together at the same time!
3. 3. Either way, the foreign media will have a field day producing edits to the parts that can do the most damage to the reputation of our police force and Country, just to sell their story and to make investors turn to their countries as preference.
4. 4. It only takes one “twit” to start something and police aggression will be shown on youtube even before the officers reach home for dinner!
Now imagine the number of cameras and resources needed to cover the entire comic show just to prove to the Rakyat later as suggested, that the Police force were well within their jurisdiction and not aggressive in nature while handling the crowd especially the students in participation.
We will have to work triple time in explaining and defending our actions when we’re supposed to go to the ground and explain Najib’s successful transformation plan for the country instead.
Let us cut our losses even before we enter into this shoddy arrangement with the opposition. It doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to realize that allowing the “show” to go on will take its toll on us, politically and economically. We should ban it altogether and remand all the masterminds and leaders of these cell movements organizing the demonstration until after the 9th and deal with the repercussions head on, which is easier to handle now than later.
SUGGESTIONS IF THE DEMONSTRATION IS PERMITTED
Seek a change of venue to hear the verdict without changing the date if possible. This is because:
1. 1. Monday is a working day and allowing 100,000 people into the fringes of the City will hinder law abiding and economy generating citizens from reaching their place of work on time, slowing down growth for the day and costing the Country millions of Ringgit.
2. 2 Even if only 10 thousand people were to attend the protest, being confined in Jalan Duta will make it believable when the foreign media spins it to say 200 thousand people were in attendance.
3. 3. Having it done at Putrajaya at The Palace of Justice, they’d need more than 300 thousand to make it look reasonably filled. And it will also ease the traffic for responsible citizens on the way to earn their keep in downtown Kuala Lumpur.
USE PSYCHOLOGY AND COMMON SENSE
In general and not necessarily related to the topic above, I urge those who are in the position to give out orders on behalf of the Prime Minister to employ some psychology and a lot of common sense in executing their instructions. Seek counsel from the more intelligent people you are giving instructions to instead of making them shut up and take in the orders without question. This might help to drive the nail straight through with one pound instead of driving it in crooked.
For instance, it was correct to have the interview with Raja Petra Kamaruddin and we scored a lot of important points there, but it would have helped to convince the people more of the truth from him if:
1. 1. He was asked not to look like a cross between Benny Hill and the skipper from Gilligan’s Island talking facts but sounding like a half-pissed lawyer at the Selangor Club back in the 80s. (If President Obama were to wear a jester’s outfit giving out the most important speech, which is The State Of The Union in the House of Congress, do you think he would be taken seriously by anyone?).
2. 2. The interview was NOT done in a Hotel Suite and in Singapore, to which we returned the most wanted man in the City State captured in Johor last year. I leave the rest to your inquisitive imagination.
3. 3. The video published on youtube, with RPK’s consent I presume, could have been better executed instead of appearing like a cheaply produced recording from a hidden camera.
CONCLUSION
If This Is The Kind Of Help That Our Prime Minister Is Getting From His Cabinet And Situational Think-Tanks, Then The BN Political Atmosphere Cries Loud For A Major Reshuffle Putting In The Prime Minister’s New Team, Flushing Out Laggards Including His Cousin And His Nemesis From Johor Heading The Higher Education Ministry Not At All Being Productive And Responsible.
The Elections Can Come Later Within The Realms Of Our Five-Year Tenure Letting The New Team Prove Themselves Appearing As A “Sneak Preview” To The New Leadership Under Najib If He Gets The Full Mandate By The People.
Barring The Hard-Serving Deputy Prime Minister, We Need To Change The Faces From Johor In The New Cabinet. Lethargy And Complacency Has Set In On The Long Serving Ministers And Despite The False Perception Within UMNO, There Are Younger And More Capable Leaders Who Are Willing And Able To Carry The Aspirations And The Momentum Of The Current Prime Minister.
PS: NOTE TO THE PM.
Reshuffle The Cabinet And Hold Off The Elections To A Later Date Sir! Take Back The Home Ministry And Appoint A Feared Deputy Minister To Assist You. You Need People And Groups Who Dare To Do Right, Willing To Tell You The Truth, And Have Common Sense Coupled With Intelligence To Execute A Good Plan With Precision. It Is Time To Get Everyone On The Same Page As You Dato’ Sri. Currently, They Seem To Be Lost And Not Up To Your Speed. We On The Ground Have Tried Everything, Even Swore An Oath To Be True. But Now We Are Waiting For Your Peers To Keep It Solemn.
If This Demonstration Is Allowed, Then We Would Have Played Into The Opposition’s Hand Like Monkeys To Peanuts. It Would Take Us 10 Steps Back After Forging 2 Good Steps Ahead Under Your Fine Initiative With Not Much Time To Play With Before D-Day.
Reflect On It Sir And Have A Safe Journey To South Africa.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

SPITS & SPATS
That’s exactly how I felt this past month. There were too many topics to write about which either aroused my emotions or interested me. So instead of writing one article for each, I’ll just skim through some of them with my thoughts.
"SOAL JAWAB" ON TV3 WITH TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMED
Just before the UMNO Assembly, former President Tun Dr Mahathir appeared on TV3’s “Soal Jawab” program and in one segment implied that UMNO members today are in the party to either gain wealth or constantly chasing after contracts. While I concur that, to a good extent to be correct, I would have also appreciated it if Tun qualified his statement by saying that there are still many of us who are in it to serve and have spent personal funds derived from earnings that did not come from government contracts, unlike many of those who’ve amassed their wealth because of their father’s or father-in law’s positions in the Government be it as either Prime Ministers in the past or current advisors to Government owned Fortune 500 Companies and GLCs.

Tun The Icon With His Ex-Protege And His Ex-Protege's Protege "At One Time"
Past UMNO leaders condemning UMNO members for a failed system which they themselves created, is no longer cute to read nor listen to anymore.
If I weren’t serving the multiracial rakyat under UMNO for the last 22 years, I would be driving two Bentleys and an Aston Martin today. And I know for a fact that there are many more like me who still uphold the true values of being a servant to the people under the Party as when it first started.
We shouldn’t condemn the UMNO man at large with silly generalizations egging on the opposition and those on the fence to follow suit. Instead, let us audit the family members of those who have held high positions in the party and government and see if they have benefitted financially through government contracts being related to these personalities. (Ex-UMNO leaders now in the opposition included).
NATIONAL FEEDLOT CENTRE
A classic example on the current is the NFC fiasco. I think the facts have more or less sunk in since it first came out in the Auditor-General’s report. Let me reiterate, it was the A-G, under the transparent Federal Government who highlighted the matter, which was capitalized by the opposition making people think that it was the latter that introduced it.

Tun Has Achieved More Good Than Not For Us, But I Leave This Picture Above For You To Measure The Weight Of It's Good, Or Not.
My question to Tun Dr Mahathir, (whom I still admire for the greater good that he has achieved for Islam, this country and our generation) and many other cynical UMNO observers is, would it have been that easy for an ordinary UMNO member with equal experience to get a soft loan to the tune of RM 250,000,000.00 on a similarly proposed project? In the words of the great gentleman himself “You can wait till the cows come home” (no pun intended), and you still won’t see a sen of it.
What irked me the most was Sharizat Jalil dragging UMNO into it in the beginning, by saying that this was an attack on Wanita UMNO when it had nothing to do with the Wing, nor the Party except for the fact that by coincidence she was also the Wanita Chief besides being the wife of the Chairman (which is now her stance when her back is against the wall), and mother of the executive directors of the company involved.
She would have been more correct had she said that it was an attack on her family since none of the Wanita UMNO members neither sit on the board nor enjoy any of the luxurious perks.
Alas, we shall see the outcome of the thorough investigation and leave it at that. But at this point in time, I say to Prime Minister Najib Razak, if Dato’ Seri Sharizat Jalil is considered a "winnable" candidate in the coming elections, then so is my Norwegian cat at home.

She’s As Winnable As The Other “Cat”!
REGRESSIONAL JOURNALISM
And to our ignorant and un-enterprising journalists covering politics, it is not the Cabinet or anyone else who decides the fate of Sharizat as Minister, but the Prime Minister himself. So learn to ask relevant and clever questions to the Deputy Prime Minister and those below him pertaining only to the their respective ministries and power without treating every facet of reporting like a trashy entertainment gossip page, getting information even from the make-up “artist” for things that don’t concern the creature just to look like you are doing your job!
PRINCE COLUMNIST
During the UMNO Assembly, which I would dedicate an exclusive story, on its own another time, there was an article that came out in the Star entitled “Honouring Our Volunteers” by the Negeri Sembilan Prince writer Tunku Zain Al’Abidin who ended his last paragraph with, “ It was obvious that the ones (leeches) in the jungle are not discriminatory in whose blood they suck, unlike those which inhabit the corridors of power, some of whom made it to PWTC this week. “
Then he came back with, “I would like to apologize for the misunderstanding caused by my comment pertaining to leeches at PWTC this week.”
My advice to HRH is, if you make a statement, leave no ambiguity for skewed interpretations and stick by it, or forget about fondling with it in the first place. Making snide remarks on Malay leaders and UMNO members and repeating it in a questionable apology in a Chinese run newspaper while living under the blanket security, privileges, luxury and comforts of which UMNO and its struggle protects and provides, is considered bad form.
Allowing a minor Princling from a Malay Royal Palace acting like a Chinese stooge condemning UMNO members in an MCA owned newspaper also exhibits the latter’s fake interest in wanting to see Barisan Nasional succeed as one unit in the next general election. I see a resemblance in attitude with the DAP using Malay stooges for their purpose in Selangor and previously in Perak.
Ironically, Malays of such character sometimes are picked by UMNO leaders as consultants bypassing their own pool of intellects, presumably for their “bright” thinking, which doesn’t reflect well on the intelligence of the person appointing them.
FIRST MALAY “GAY-MARRIAGE” IN THE WORLD
I must say, this is the first time for me seeing a “fairy” in a Malay warrior’s outfit. It reminds me of a local screen siren Saadiah in one of the classic Malay movies, cross-dressing stabbing her “kris” on the enemy. This Malay homo on the other hand is taking a stab at Islam and the Malays by being united with his boyfriend in a public ceremony that is considered sacrilegious and against Malay Customs.

“To Stab Or Not To Stab.” Who’s Turn Is It Tonight Sunshine?
Again, I would prefer to leave one’s sexual orientation and preferences between one and one’s maker but take umbrage if one parades it to the world mocking God’s religion and the Malay tradition.
If indeed this “unisex” (best to watch out for unisex products like perfume etc. at the stores lest you might end up like this creature) has gone AWOL with his scholarship, then legal effort should be made to bring him to justice instead of sending people to bring him home for counseling incurring further costs to the taxpayers.
UNDUE INFLUENCED JUVENILE & LAPSE OF SECURITY AT THE PWTC
The juvenile behavior of student Adam Adli who was clearly made a lackey by the opposition party by bringing down the flag bearing the PM’s resemblance at the UMNO headquarters, while delivering a memorandum to the government has proven that the body may not be ready to embrace the freedom that they may be given to participate in politics soon enough.

Gross Injustice On Najib. Could This Be The Result Of Giving Too Much Face?
Even if they are ready, Adam has severely tarnished the good effort made by the collective student bodies to achieve their goal, getting the government to compromise.
We shouldn’t penalize the movement, but should drive the full weight of the laws and regulation provided governing the students, on persecuting Adam for his outrageous behavior.
We expect the Minister in charge to deal with the action personally while his Deputy continue to engage with the various student bodies positively and separately.
We also expect the head of security at the PWTC to be taken to task for his officers’ ignorance and “spectatorial” attitude in line of duty. A property of the PWTC was removed and replaced under their watch and nothing was done to accost the perpetrator.
CONCLUSION.
Lately, We Have Many Complaints And See Numerous Shortcomings From Our Half Of The Playing Field. When Will We Ever Account For Them And Take Positive Actions Preventing Similar Outcomes In The Future?
Najib And Muhyiddin Can’t Do Them By Themselves But What They CAN Do Is To Appoint The Right People For The Right Positions!
Accommodation Is Not The Answer! Precise Designation Is!

MY EXPECTATIONS FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
In one of the most crucial moments in the history of modern politics for UMNO and the ruling coalition BN, today’s Presidential address in the opening of the UMNO General Assembly must send a strong message to the leaders of the component parties attending the opening.
Traditionally these leaders will attend the first day of the UMNO General Assembly to listen to the keynote address by its President whom by that fact is also Chairman of the Barisan Nasional.
Last Tuesday, 29th November, President Mohd Najib Abdul Razak delivered a heart to heart message to the top cream of the UMNO party in a closed door session, details of which should remain private otherwise defeating the term “closed door” as the members who were camera opportunists should learn.
Suffice to say that some of what was written in my last article was appropriately addressed.
Today’s speech, if not to disappoint the delegates, should be to caution everyone to carry their weight for at this intensed juncture, Barisan Nasional will need a concerted and sincere effort, such that has never been seen before, to preserve our collective political survival.
We cannot afford to take any passengers in this ride because the load is too heavy as it is. If division of labour is not practiced among the coalition members, then we might just scrape through with just the UMNO machinery, and the freeloaders will have to face the consequences, or the UMNO President himself will have to bear the brunt in the UMNO elections right after that, for being soft on them.
This May Be The Last Official Public Address In Any Political Stage Before The Next General Election. What Better Platform Than The General Assembly Of The Most Senior Partner In The Fold With Its Leader Delivering The “Final Testament” To His Disciples Backed By The Full Support Of The Followers Of His Political Religion, UMNO!
In Conclusion:
1. Force the Malaysian Chinese Association, GERAKAN and Malaysian Indian Association to get cracking with their machinery and earn their merit in the party or lose representation in the government.
2. Implore upon the UMNO representatives in both Houses including the State Assemblies who are on their last tour of duty to stand down in loyalty if and when required without sabotaging the party. Impose duress upon their backsides if need be, forcing the Home Minister to earn his keep by reviewing their each and every file!
We Must All Remember That If We Let This Hold Slide, So Too Will This Nation Into An Irreversible Situation Of Economic And Political Oblivion, Under The Inexperienced And Highly Indebted Opposition, Owing Much To The Foreign Powers And Financiers For Their Upkeep.
I Write This At 0435hrs And By 0800hrs, I Will Be In My Seat In The Great Hall Of Independence At The PUTRA In Strong Anticipation Of The Much Awaited And Could Possibly Be The Most Important Speech Ever Delivered By Mohd Najib Abdul Razak To This Nation.
Good Luck Mr President.
