The Shithead's Minority Government!

Hantu Laut


From Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Guan Eng, Lim Kit Siang to the smallest fry, they keep referring to the Najib's government as minority government.

Do they understand what a minority government is?

Here, Anwar claimed "we won the elections"

Here, Guan Eng claimed "we are the majority"

Ironically, there are hundreds of articles that appeared in news portal and blogs that portrayed BN as minority government

It doesn't take much to cajole and fool the average Malaysians including the over-educated ones because they are just too lazy to do their own homework preferring to be spoon-fed by whoever they fancy.

Najib's government, by any stretch of your imagination, is not a minority government. For all intents and purposes, it is a majority government. Only in a hung parliament situation or where no clear majorities are obtained by any parties would a minority government be formed.

A minority government exists where it lacked outright majority of seats and depends for its survival on the support of other parties or independents who hold the balance of power in the  lower house.

Without formal coalition being formed among the parties concerned, a minority government is the only solution to a functioning parliament. It is usually given to the party with the largest number of seats and supported by smaller parties or independents to form a minority government. This form of government is most unstable and can collapse anytime if the other parties withdraw their supports. 

Unlike Pakatan Rakyat, BN is a single legal entity and won 133 seats giving it a comfortable majority of 22 more seats over the finishing line of 111 seats. Any party that finished beyond 111 seats can form the government under the "first past the post" system. 

Don't let these shitheads fool you with their own ignorance and melodramatic jingle of the meaning of  "minority government"

It ain't true !

Najib's government is duly elected by the people and is a majority government. 

They can FO with their claim of popular votes, because our electoral system does not work that way and they knew it fully well, but can you blame these kiddos........a bunch of sore losers and a chieftain with a chronic sore throat and a congenital liar.

Time On Whose Side?

Hantu Laut

I concur ! 

The Economist is always closest to the truth, unlike the half-baked professors in our local universities, can never get their equations right.

Time On Whose Side?
The Economist

IN JAIL, Anwar Ibrahim read a lot of Shakespeare. To understand Malaysian politics, the opposition leader says, you have to know Macbeth, a tragedy of overweening political ambition. For the government, the ambition defacing the country’s politics is that of Mr Anwar himself, to become Malaysia’s prime minister. He had promised to retire if he lost the general election held on May 5th. “But we won,” he says.
That is not how the government sees it. Though the opposition coalition which Mr Anwar leads, Pakatan Rakyat, got 51% of the votes, it won only 40% of the seats in parliament. Years of gerrymandering favour the Barisan Nasional coalition that has ruled Malaysia since independence in 1957. Mr Anwar also alleges outright electoral fraud. He has been leading protest rallies around the country against the “theft” of the election.Read more.

UMNO Is Very Much Alive, Well And Kicking

Hantu Laut

Somebody broached the idea of turning BN into a single party. Smart idea for the losers, but not good for UMNO. With such excellent bill of health who need losers.


The idea was first mooted by Gerakan acting president Chang Ko Yuon, not surprising because Gerakan is done, kaput!...... so is MCA and MIC. 


It wasn't UMNO that suffered serious erosion of supports. On the contrary, UMNO fared much better this time around than in the 12th GE.UMNO delivered 109 seats out of the total of 133 won by BN. At  state level it won 244 out of 339 seats it contested. 

UMNO is alive, well and kicking. This stallion had run the gauntlet and proved the doomsayers wrong. It is BN, particularly, MCA and Gerakan that is in trouble, not UMNO.


Here, two Melayu bodoh organisations, KPRU and Umcedel predicted unmitigated disaster for UMNO at 13th GE. They either have lost their mojo, or just pretty useless at what they do.


Communal politics will continue to stay the favoured political domination in this country. A true multiracial party is still a far cry. The Malays don't want it, the Chinese don't want it even more, the Indians don't want it and Sabah and Sarawak natives don't want it.

The minority races, particularly, Chinese will not be receptive to the idea because a single political entity will overwhelm and dilute their political power and may jeopardise the language and culture in the long term.

Try ask DAP and PAS to dissolve their parties and join PKR as a single umbrella, I bet my bottom dollar the first to object would be the apparatchiks,  Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng and Karpal Singh. PAS leaders will tell you "Kami orang Islam tak boleh campur orang kafir"

I am surprised that Tengku Adnan Mansor entertained the idea of a single party when UMNO is physically and political robust and had not lost its appeal to the Malay masses. It has done extremely well in the 13th GE capturing substantial Malay votes as compared to PKR and PAS. These two Malay based parties are straggling far behind with PAS getting 20 parliamentary seats and PKR 15 Malay dominated seats. Both parties would not have gathered that number of seats without help of DAP supporters. 

It was MCA, Gerakan and MIC that have been consigned to the rubbish bin. Other components in Sabah and Sarawak were still able to defend their territories with minimal losses.


I am not a member of UMNO, but I can safely say it won't happen. UMNO is very much alive, well and kicking.

Makes more sense that MCA, Gerakan and MIC should consider converting to a single party.

Word Of Honour Need No Pen Nor Paper

Hantu Laut

Honour is the quality of knowing and doing what is morally right. A man who is confident of his word of honour need not put it down to pen and paper.

"Word of honour"...a verbal commitment by a person to another agreeing to do, or not to do something in the future. In simple language it is called "gentlemen's agreement", relies on honour for its fulfilment.

A man who is a modal of rectitude and sure of his honesty will not bother with a written covenant. Only in business such written instrument is necessary. 

Najib needs not sign such agreement as I am pretty sure Jusuf Jalla who had experience in brokering such deal before had called for a gentlemen's agreement, not a written one. 

Being a businessman before, I have seen fair share of broken contracts by clients, who cared not about reputation when they have made a bad decision. 

Written contract is no guarantee of performance, it just give you comfort and something to fall back to if you need to take action to enforce it.What legal action can he takes if Najib signed and broke the agreement. Does he not know that word of honour if can be proven can also seek justice in the court of law?

Anwar knew but need a bad story to tell his followers. 

If one is of crooked mind no amount of written agreement is good enough protection. Cooked and crooked excuses can be used to break it.

Throughout our adult life many of us have had bets, lent or borrowed money from friends based on word of honour. Mutual trust bind us to honour our promise and pay back what we owe.

The excuse given by Anwar for not honouring his side of the deal  lack plausibility and atrociously shameful.

Let us look at number one of his demand of "no personal attack" 

In all honesty, he has actually implicated himself, his party and the whole Pakatan Rakyat outfit guilty of this. There are thousands of evidences on the Internet to prove that he and his soldiers are more guilty of this than Najib and his battalions. The attack on Najib was vicious and uncalled for. All the blogs and news portal friendly to Anwar have done pretty good job demonising Najib. Malaysiakini, Malaysia Insider, Free Malaysia Today, Malaysia Chronicle and many others are pro-Anwar and Pakatan.

Of course, it goes without saying he will say he has no control over these people. Najib can also claim he has no control over the mass media in this country.

Anwar and Pakatan are not interested in the print and mass media, that was just a cooked excuse. They have access to bigger and more effective media.

The Internet has humongous penetration compared to the mainstream mass media. Almost 60% of the country are wired to the Internet and 80% of urban dwellers have access to the alternative media. That's why they won big in the urban areas and lost in the kampongs. He is only interested to show off in the cities and big towns, as Daim Zainuddin aptly described a "clown in  a circus". His political campaigning was skewed, favouring the urban areas.His megalomania and exhibitionist nature made him lose the elections.

Number two "free and fair elections". If the elections had not been free and fair how come Pakatan Rakyat can get more popular votes than Barisan Nasional? 

He used this another crooked excuse to say that he should have won Puterajaya because of popular votes, but was cheated by BN. He was not truthful to tell his followers that our electoral system is such that you can get more popular votes but still not get enough parliamentary seats to form the government, the same as  those practised in U.K and many other Commonwealth countries. 

His design to question and ridicule the electoral roll as being dirty was done long before polling day using BERSIH as his vehicle and street demonstrations as his dirty trick to hoodwink the people that all is not well with the Election Commission. In U.K the Labour Party ever had just over 30% of the popular votes, but collected over 50% of the seats, worse than what we had in the recent elections where the difference was only 3.4 % and Anwar claimed victory based on this absolute nonsense.

In spite of his accusations of massive vote rigging he came so close to taking over the government but bungled it because of over confidence, arrogance and stupidity.

Anyway, it was Anwar who asked Jusuf to broker the deal and it was Jusuf Kalla who first broke the story to WSJ, not Najib. Why didn't he whack Jusuf Jalla instead?

Why Anwar wanted the deal with Najib?

Because he was so over confidence of winning, he was afraid that Najib may not concede and give way to smooth transition of power. 

Najib was sure of himself and knew, win or lose, he would honour the agreement.

Anwar biggest problem is, he can't tell the difference between a lie and the truth. 

Today, he is a desperate man seeking justice on the streets.
