Psychological Warfare,Hot-Air,Plausible Untruth And Semantic

Hantu Laut

Sept 5 has just passed and there were still no sign of Sabah BN MPs mass exodus to Pakatan camp.Anwar's campaign to lure those restive MPs is gaining momentum but showing little sign of becoming a reality in the coming days.

It would be interesting to know where DAP and PAS stand on this. DAP have bemoaned such undemocratic action before and PAS being an Islamic party would know better where Islam stands on this issue.As for Anwar I don't think he really cares, as long as he gets there,whatever it takes, the end justifies the means.

Meanwhile, the man at the centre of the Chinese
' pendatang' controversy had come out and said his speech was misreported by a Chinese reporter and is now trying to shift the blame to the reporter.Good God! Does it take that long to come back with a rebuttal? Pathetically, hot-air in the fug.Our man Ahmad Ismail had just recovered from temporary amnesia.

Even more amusing is Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's revelation that he gave the go ahead for BN MPs to go on overseas study tour organised by the BN Backbencers Club to polish their skills in the art of dog eat dog and to stay clear of the nation's most feared top dog, Anwar Ibrahim (he didn't say this part,I said it).

Incidentally, they chose the date that accidentally coincides with the dreaded date of Sept 16, the day Anwar says Abdullah's government would crumple and he would become the Prime Minister.

The DPM says it has nothing to do with the Sept 16 anticipated crossover. He certainly has the gift of the gab to convince Malaysians to believe the truth of the plausible untruth.

In another twist of the tale, UPKO Youth chief Donald Mojuntin had responded to Herbert of PBS lambasting of UPKO President Bernard Dompok in supporting Yong Tet Lee 's proposed demolition of the Prime Minister. He said "Seeking support for the motion of no confidence against the PM or asking him to resign is actually the same.It is a matter of semantics" .

Yeah! big word, small brain, where does the word 'resign' and 'no confidence' stand related in the semantic field. 'Vote of no confidence' - you forcibly throw him out against his free will.'Resign' - he can leave on his own free will and has a choice not to accede to your demand.

Would 'rape" and having an 'intercourse' be semantic, the act is the same, in both instances you are having sex.

Now, I know why this country is in trouble.
