Pakatan Hantu:Pemerintah Bodoh, Rakyat Diperbodohkan !

Hantu Laut


Please allow me to quote a short paragraph from Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince", which every politician should read, but many don't, and if they do, they probably can't remember what they read.

Below is what he said of "Generosity and Parsimony"

"If you want to sustain a reputation for generosity, therefore, you have to be ostentatiously lavish; and a prince acting in that fashion will soon squander all his resources, only to be forced in the end, if he wants to maintain his reputation, to lay excessive burdens on  the people, to impose extortionate taxes, and to do everything else he can to raise money."

See below Pakatan's lavish promises that would, for sure, bankrupt the nation as rightly said by Machiavelli.

You miseries will come later when they ran out of money and have  no choice but to impose higher taxes on the people.

Do you trust them? There are only 3 partners in the coalition, how come there are 4 leaders shown here?

When can they be honest with the rakyat?

Stirring The Hornet's Nest ! The "BIADAB" Culture

Hantu Laut

It is indeed something that we should not teach our children to do, it is not our culture, it is not our ways. 

There are better and civilised ways to oppose the government without resorting to the "kurang ajar" culture that could lead to widespread unrest.

Stepping on our leaders' photos and desecrating them has never been our political culture. 

Malaysians are taking their new found freedom too far and such behaviour if not curtailed may have dire consequence in this multiracial nation.

Whether you are Malays, Chinese or Indians, all cultures teach you the same thing of respecting elders and filial piety towards your parents.

Do not for one moment think all cultures are the same. There can be vast differences even among Asian cultures.

Do you know in Thailand and most Buddish countries the head is considered most sacred and touching someone's head is considered rude and insulting.

In Thai culture like most other Asian culture using your feet to point at people is also considered rude.

My personal experience had shown what can happen when two different cultures clashed.

Some years ago I went trekking/camping into the jungle of Borneo with a group of people who are members of the same society. With the group was a couple of Westerners. One morning while a few of us were having breakfast with our food placed on the ground, one "orang putih" trying to get out of the tent just walked over our food, but his girlfriend, who was a Chinese girl went around us to find her way out. My Chinese friend from Sarawak went livid and a fight almost broke our between him and the white man, who was still clueless, what have triggered my friend's anger. 

In Asian culture, not only you must not walk over food, it is also tabooed to walk over anyone laying on the floor.

These are cultures of the East that some Westerners have no clue about and found it ludicrously outdated, which they often make fun of.

Those protesting at Padang Merdeka and stomping on the Prime Minister's photos were not ignorant 'orang putihs' but were Malaysians who should have known better that what they did was against the 'adat' of this country.

This country is not run by a tyrannical leader for him to deserve such treatment. 

It is sad that some pro-Pakatan supporters have resorted to the "kurang ajar" and "biadab" culture toward the national flag and Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. 

Anwar Ibrahim supported the flag bearers and called it a lesson in history here. Lim Guan Eng demanded why no action was taken against Perkasa when they burned his photos.

Who is Anwar trying to fool? Is he promoting his culture of protests and defiance that has been his trademark from his younger days and a man who never kept his words, changing at his whims and fancies.

Guess who set leadership by example?

Stepping on and desecrating Najib's photo, though not criminal act, is considered an insult in our culture.

Belittling the national flag and aggrandising the flag of Malaya.

Like monkeys do we have to ape the West and copy the negative aspects of their culture.

Some opposition leaders called it creativity.

Sad to say, some never learn from history that what they have done was exactly what trigger off the race riot on 13th May 1969.

Vote for "PAKATAN" and vote for the "BIADAB" culture.

Khalid Ibrahim Should Stop Making Excuses, Eat Humble Pie And Apologise To The Sultan.

Hantu Laut

In the first place who gave her the authority to speak out on the issue? As a political secretary what's her locus standi on palace matters?

It's a great embarrassment for the Selangor government, which has given proof that they have no idea how to run a government.

Arrogance have gotten into their head, so much so, they failed to observe protocol.

What is Khalid Ibrahim doing asking his political secretary to make such ludicrous and absurd statement blaming the palace for not asking to be invited. 

Nobody, who has sense of shame, would asked to be invited, even to a friend's party. If you don't get an invite from your friend means you are not liked and the person is not a friend.

It shows Khalid is as dumb, if not dumber, than his political secretary, who has added insult to injury, which may further enrage the Sultan. 

The right person who should clear the air and apologise to the Sultan is the STATE SECRETARY and the MENTERI BESAR himself.

Read what the political secretary said of the Sultan here. 

Khalid stop making excuses, just go eat humble pie and apologise to the Sultan for the oversight and sack your political secretary immediately or if she received instruction from you, sack yourself. 

To err is human, to forgive divine. The Sultan may forgive you for your stupidity.

Judging The Judge: Deft Or Dumb ?

Hantu Laut

To err is human, judges can make mistakes, but the uproar against the judgement of two recent cases of statutory rapes is politically motivated, rather than concern for the law and the victims.

This country's politics has become the most bastardised in the region by one man's insatiable greed for power. Even the country's judges are not spared from politics, which leaves them opened to contempt.

Suddenly, every NGOs jumped on the band wagon to ridicule judges' decision on cases only peculiar to the judges and not the men in the streets.

True, the sentence must reflect the crime but there might have been extenuating circumstances that have caused the judge to consider a seemingly lighter sentence.

If one has an open mind and not become what the Malay called "Pak Turut"(follow blindly) the sentence passed by the judges is not as light as what the detractors made out to be.

In the case of national bowler Nor Afizal, the bound over sentence does not mean he gets off scot-free, a probationary period is attached to the sentence for good behaviour and should he during that period commits an offence he would face a tougher sentence for the new and initial offence. The judges also found there was no coercion, violence, brutality and the act was consensual, therefore, the non-custodial sentence. The Court of Appeal judges took upon themselves to alleviate the sentence.

In every profession there are those promoted to a "level of incompetence" and judiciary all over the world would have some sitting on the bench. 

Judges are human, they are not infallible, they can make mistakes. To err is human, to forgive divine. There is no point to continue disparaging the judges, let the law takes its course.

For the Malaysian judges who passed the judgement I salute them, they have shown they are humans and no lives have been destroyed on both sides.
