Anak Melayu Diperbodokan

Hantu Laut

I must say under Najib this land has become heaven on earth for dissents of any kind.Malaysians are now more attune to go onto the streets to expressly exacerbate their grievances against the government.

There were Bersih 1 and Bersih 2. Bersih 3 is in the offing, if everything goes well, the senile National Laureate Pak Samad says he expects 500,000 Malaysians to throng Merdeka Square on 28 April demanding immediate reforms for free and fair elections.

I don't see the massive turnout happening if the government allow the protest to go on without police interference.If they want Merdeka Square, give it to them, if anything broke make sure the organisers pay for it, if there were massive littering which require costly cleaning up, make sure the organisers pay for it too.Don't expect other taxpayers to pay for these people to "shiok sendiri"

DO NOT SEND IN YOUR MASSIVE POLICE FORCE FOR CROWD CONTROL, JUST A TOKEN IN CASE OF TROUBLE AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE.

I doubt if they can get 50,000 mules, let alone 500,000.

Some 300 students, almost all Malays, demonstrated for the abolishment PTPTN carrying wreaths of Prime Minister Najib and the Minister of Higher Education Mohd Khaled Nordin after being brainwashed by the humbugging Anwar Ibrahim.These less than qualified Malay students were lucky the government still give them soft loans to further their tertiary education.

The video below shows they did not demonstrate against the PTPTN but exhibiting "kurang ajar" behaviour.Should you Malaysians sympathise with this kind rudeness.They are not interested in education. Obtrusively, they are stooges of Anwar and the oppositions.There was not a single word mentioned about PTPTN in the video.It's about their longing demise of Najib,Rosmah,BN and not forgetting to bring back the ghost of the poor dead lady Altantuya.

Though, they do not represent the majority of Malays students, it's bad that they strayed from the original motivation, education! The government should recall the loans given to those who participated in the demonstration.

Who says Malaysia is not free?

Friggatriskaidekaphobia, Friday 13th

Hantu Laut

Does Friday 13th freak you out?

Friday 13th is considered to be bad luck in Western superstition.

Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys, begin new projects or embark on anything new.Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s.

Do you know the fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia.

Do you know the manned mission to the moon Appollo 13 had a near tragedy, they aborted the lunar landing after an oxygen tank exploded crippling the service module.Despite limited power and great hardship the crew returned safely to earth.

Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

The North Korean's rocket launched at 7.39 a.m. on Friday 13th (yesterday) broke into four pieces humiliating the nation.

For our nation the racial riot on 13th May 1969 was the darkest chapter of our history.

Beware of what you wish on Friday 13th, sometimes, the devil can hear you and grant your wish.

"The Ides Of March" Recyling The Muss!

Hantu Laut

Have you seen the movie "Ides Of March" with its back-stabbing, connivance, skulldruggery and dirty politics?

If you don't already know "The Ides Of March" is not George Clooney's own original title for the movie. The Ides of March goes back thousands of years.

It's a term used by the Romans for middle of the month in the Roman calendar and is best known as the date on which Julius Caesar was murdered, on the 15th day of March 44 B.C. , stabbed 23 times by conspirators led by Brutus and Cassius Longinus and supported by 60 other co-conspirators.

In Shakespeare's play of Julius Caesar, chief conspirator Brutus had a ready answer why he killed Caesar when he addressed the people and told them:

"It's not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more"

Politics is such even those who pay allegiance to you can rise up against you in a most brutal way.Knowing your enemy outside is easy, knowing your enemy inside is walking in the dark, your best friend could be your worst enemy.

Caesar ignored the soothsayer that warned him to be beware of "The Ides Of March" with ended in fatal consequence for Caesar.

That's about enemies inside. There are also enemies outside and enemies at the gate, UMNO has plenty of these sorts.

Prime Minister Najib is again in the limelight with a recycling of the Atlantuya murder case sponsored by Suaram, a so-called human rights movement that has become a pathetic instrument of the oppositions.Like Bersih, its songs stink of politics.

In a conference with Mr Shaarribuu (video below), father of the late Altantuya who claimed his daughter showed him the photo of her with Baginda and Najib taken in Paris, non of the Suaram officials have asked him what happened to the photo.

In these days of digital technology, or even if taken by conventional film camera there are ways to get copies of the film if it truly exists.Obviously, there was no such photograph, otherwise, it would have appeared, somewhere, published for the whole world to see.

Are they really looking after the interests of human rights or working for the opposition to inflict maximum damage on Najib's reputation, by choosing the most opportune time to bring back Mr Shaarribuu and bring back the ghost of Altantuya.

What did the French court say about the money trail of the commission paid for purchase of the 2 submarines.Did they show solid evidence where the money goes to?

They did not, all they say was that they theorise that part of the money could have gone to Najib's pocket.

Theorise! The French Court must be a kangaroo court for it to accept unsubstantiated claims and theorised that Najib is guilty of corruption.

Can I say I theorised that Anwar murdered Altantuya and framed Najib for it?

Another recycling case was Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman, where ghost of the past was brought back , apparently, by an enemy within.

The Sabah's Caesar's story of UMNO heavyweight, purportedly, backed by PM Najib as the next Sabah Chief Minister is here. Musa denied the allegations.

With a bigger war chest, which Musa is prepared to use, Shafie Apdal may be at a disadvantage.The recent action of the government registering huge numbers of undocumented Sabahans in Semporna, which looked dubious and likely to be illegal immigrants, to help prop up supports for Shafie, could have a disastrous outcome, as the rest of Sabah, particularly, the KDM people look unkindly on the issue that have angered them for many decades against the Federal government refusal to look into the problem.It may change the KDM from voting BN.

The Chinese Will Unite The Malays In 13th General Elections

Hantu Laut

At last, some sensibility coming out of UMNO.

Here, Prime Minister Najib openly admitted the BN had lost its Chinese support.

I have not been wrong all along, in many of my past posts, in my conclusion that the BN has completely lost the Chinese support.MCA and Gerakan would soon be joining our prehistoric dinosaurs.

There is little comfort left for the Chinese leaders in BN knowing that their days are numbered. The results of the March 2008 General Elections has altered the political philosophy of the Chinese, which have been simmering under the lid for many decades.

The Malays, empirical students of the British are getting a dose of their own medicine and no matter how bitter the pill is, they would have to swallow it.

Never have they been more divided and the Chinese more united.

Today, the Chinese are cohesive force under the DAP umbrella.As I have always said, DAP would have almost clean sweep of the Chinese MP seats.DAP are more interested in MP seats rather than state seats that would give them greater voice in parliament.

UMNO's divide and rule policy of dividing the other races into splintered groups ended in March 2008.

Unbeknown to UMNO and least expected, it is the Malays that is now in serious trouble and seriously divided that could spell the end of "ketuanan Melayu" and the rise of Malay liberalism among the Malays younger generation.

UMNO old guards are still living in past glory, where intimidation, coercion, threat and fear are the order of the day.The simmering resentment of five decades yonder among non-Malays have blown the lid off the pressure cooker.The Malay leaders in UMNO are now scampering to re-assemble the broken pieces.Will they succeed?

Something strange is going to happen which has nothing to do with UMNO's efforts to unite the Malays.It would be the Chinese that eventually unite the Malays or rather the Chinese threat.

The Chinese threat that may or can dilute and weaken Malays political power would provide the impetus for Malay unity and the end of "ketuanan Melayu".The question is under which Malay umbrella would it be? UMNO or PAS?

PKR is out. The Malay masses do not consider PKR as a Malay party and it would be the weakest runner among the lot.The contender would be between PAS and UMNO.PAS has one disadvantage , its association with DAP, regarded by staunched Muslims as associating with the devil, the infidel, a name given by PAS to UMNO for associating with MCA and Gerakan before its own alliance with DAP.

UMNO has the edge over PAS as a vehicle for Malay unity but will UMNO leaders screw it up?

While PAS has diverted from its original Islamic brand, UMNO is still signing the same old song of Malay unity and "ketuanan Melayu", overtaking PAS in its quest for greater Malay and Muslims supports.Bowing to the Islamists with regard to foreign artists performing in Malaysia and proselytising of Muslims by Christians are the nutrients and part and parcel of UMNO strategy for Malay and Muslim unity.

The ultimate bogeymen...........Chinese threat and Christians proselytising Muslims.

UMNO may have to repossess all Malay dominated constituencies given to other BN parties in the past or risk bigger losses and loss of the government.

DAP, trying to appease the Malays, would field Malay candidates in the 13th GE in Malay dominated areas.

Not trying to stifle the enthusiasm of these Malay candidates, they all would lose miserably, with majority of them losing their deposits.They can only win if DAP put them in Chinese dominated areas but would DAP dare take the risk, the ire of its Chinese members.

We should not kid ourselves that this country is ready for multiracial and multicultural integration.We can be friends but when it comes to the crunch, blood is thicker than water.

Communal politics would still be alive and kicking in Malaysia. Even Kit Siang has openly called for Chinese to unite under DAP for greater say in the politics of this country.Those who think of "Satu Bangsa Malaysia" are dreamers, it would never happen in our lifetime.

It took America over 200 years to reach the halfway, the man they chose to be their president was only half-black, not the real "gagak"
